for those of you who play with a ps3 controller (mayber even 360, i guess), when you do hyper combos, do you press R2 (or another button of your choice mapped with multiple attack inputs) or do you just press 2 regular attack buttons simultaneously? i’ve been in the habit of pressing triangle and circle, but i’m thinking just one button would make things easier. hard to break a habit though…
Finally got the game(eating right now that is why im not playing) Played through arcade with all the new characters. Sucked for the most part,though i was surprisingly ok with rocket and iron fist.
Edit: previous post, wow same time lol
I don’t think this deserves its own thread but I can say that my friends (who play on pad) map assist 1 and assist 2 to L1/L2 and H to R1 and S to R2. They press two buttons
Weird day, no rage quitters. I actually played fun people that would try out different mixes of characters.
That’s crazy lol. Every character should have weaknesses that separate the pretty good players that use them and the legends.
Wesker is not dramatically overpowered it’s just he doesn’t really have any weakness to overcome to differentiate the players. Take Doom for example, you could foot dive all you want, you could learn his bnb’s (which aren’t the hardest but def more difficult then wesky) but the difference between good dooms and the great dooms is the players ability to deal with his awkward mobility with the tri-dashes, the discipline to not regular dash, and etc. When I’m watchin DiosX or clock I’m not watching just any old doom, but I could be watching a legendary player play wesker and can’t tell em apart from the random kid online.
That’s why nobody cares that Dante is overpowered, because aside from the similar Bnb’s he has so much tools people use different things to approach. I’ve seen people use his qcf S projectile, air play, tridash, teleport ice tricks, use devil trigger differently it creates more interesting things to watch them jump up gunshot call assist teleport abc 123 gunshot team combo Wesker stuff.
As a character though I love Wesker, just wish he was more complex. And I don’t think he’s too overpowered, he just requires little thought.
Is anyone else seeing general glitches in their game? I got two, myself.
- When I’m challenged to an online match, I get the message but the screen freezes for a while before showing the new challenger message again and going forward.
- The dialogue will sometimes be delayed, coming out late in fight intros.
Anyone else having these problems?
But she isn’t even close to being a bakeneko is she? Nor is she is a shape shifting were-cat. Talbain is a were-wolf and shapeshifter. Felicia is a nude woman with modesty patches of fuzz and a tail. Nor does she come close to referencing anything like this. It’s an obvious fetish though. According to the development team, the intention was to create two ‘sexy’ female characters. For Morrigan they came up with a relevant ‘sexy’ monster that made sense. For Felicia they seemed to have struggled and thought, ‘fuck it, Catgirl. Cats are sexy right?’
Q Bee, aside from being an obvious pun (B movie? Geddit), could be a reference to the classic Vincent Price/Roger Corman movie Wasp Woman (AKA Bee Girl or Insect Woman) about a woman who… well you can guess. I’ll grant you she’s less of an established monster archetype than the others, but she’s actually monstrous which still puts her above Felicia.
BBHood is blindingly obvious as she’s a monster hunter, keeping her well within theme as well as representing the old cliche that humans can be the real monsters.
Acutally there was supposed to be one “cute” character and one “sexy” character. Morrigan was originally supposed to take the role of the cute character and Felicia was supposed to take the role of the sexy character. They later changed their minds though and swapped the roles.
Not quite. They did intend initially for one cute Succubus and one sexy Cat lady, but they didn’t swap them around. They just ended up with Lilith as the cute Succubus. Felicia is more sexy than cute. Her outfit is so skimpy to the point of not being an outfit at all.
You are all missing the most obvious point of all.
Guys like boobs :Dv
I left my game on a 5 game win streak. Something is wrong. Hopefully somebody ends it before I start deluding myself into thinking I’m actually getting better…
Not only are cats sexy…[details=Spoiler]

There’s an issue with this in that VS wasn’t the first Darkstalkers game 
He’s hilarious in that cartoon. Especially his rap.
One thing, though. Why is he missing half a pant leg, and why do we need to see half of his zombie ass? Not to mention all of the Aulbath ass shots in that show. Though he is curiously attractive, for a fishman…
While we’re on the subject of Felicia, my favorite line from that cartoon:
“My mom doesn’t like it when I have strange cat women in my room!”
> Expected ACiFT
> Got ACiFT
> Laughed anyway
this is why capcom dont take darkstalker fans so seriously…all yall think about how sexy morrigan is…maybe if we be more serious about the darkstalker series maybe they would consider bringing more darkstalker characters in umvc3
Way to completely fail in comprehending the topic at hand.
It’s kind of silly calling people out because they’re talking about the sexiness of the DS girls when Capcom clearly went out of their way to make them have sexy appeal in one way or another. Even though they are actually talking about how they fit into the horror theme more than anything else…
Not to be a dick but:
SF fans talk about Chun, Cammy, Viper, Poison (SFxT), and Juri
KoF fans have been talking about Mai for years (as well as others but Mai mostly)
DOA fans talk about basically all the girls
Basically, talking about the physical appearance of the girls in the game doesnt affect what the company does about the series. You could argue that DOA is just boobies but thats a completely different topic
I use R2 for hypers but I set L2 as L to help charge Vergil’s Round Trip and I have L3 and R3 set as LMH and S respectively. That way, all I have to do is click the sticks for XF.
Awesome, who are you using? I actually find since ive had things in the way of playing vanilla for a bit,im really rusty. Ill be glad to earn my groove back.
So true, and I admit I’m one of those brainless Wesker players. I just go into flowchart mode with Wesker all day long.
Close up? Mash cr.M. Maybe throw out a H Mustang Kick once in a blue moon.
Far away? Super jump and mash d+H
In the air? Jump up and mash b+H.
Hitconfirm? Go into Sesame Street Combo of Death ®
Not dead yet? FUCK THAT SHIT I’ll just turn into Dark Wesker.
