I was bored yesterday so I decided to give Wesker a shot and see what all the fuss is about.
After looking at the damage difference in his basic Cobra strike combos from Vanilla to Ultimate all I want to ask is this.
Wesker, have you been stealing Chris’ steroids?
My cheapest character right now (at least online) is still Zero, those hit boxes and they gave him more health too, he’s def the best battery.
My strider and Vergil are getting blown up until I can figure out what normals to throw out to stop pressure.
Okay, this is coming from a PW fan. Fuck Phoenix Wright. You telling me that guy doesnt even take dmg as an assist in Turnabout mode? WTF Capcom? I seriously think Capcom underestimates how easy hardcore gamers are gonna make “gimmicks” to get a more powerful character nothing but child’s play. Did they not learn their lesson from Phoenix in Vanilla? I think it’s bullshit when you see a top ranked fighter and you think “this is gonna be a good match. I wonder how he plays.” and then you see his team of PW/Wesker/Vergil and you just sit there and say “…so thats how you got that rank…”
Where the hell is my Vanilla Mvc3 disc>:(
Cheesing his way to the top of the leaderboards with… a couple fairly mediocre characters and one fairly good character…
??
You’ve obviously never played a good PW
I’ve been noticing this alot too. Nothing pisses me off more than countering downwards and then their downwards TAC actually goes through and then they double DHC me for a kill.
I’m also trying to remember the last time I played a team online without a Wesker on it.
I have, he ain’t shit bro. Till hes in Turnabout, but then I just treats him like old school Tron/Haggar or Hsien-Ko and once hes out run away till its over. I ussually dont let him get there though.
Complete.Global.Yeah you know the drill.
TACs wouldnt be that bad if the color system actually helped and/or you could just mash the button+S during an air combo instead of only getting one chance to stop it.
I dont mind Wesker actually, only bc since I got this game (before it was even officially released) I’ve been playing mostly good players. Like yeah they do the same shit but they atleast play intelligently
I usually try to rush him down but its not like he just breaks under the pressure. He’ll block, call Maya Shield after Adv. Guard and then position PW right inbetween the shield. Bc of the shield, any attacks you do are negated and if you mess up and try to attack he gets a free punish on your whiff (even though it technically should’ve hit). Turnabout mode is retarded just bc it can be accessed by random hit into almost uncounterable TAC. I havent had the chance to practice just yet but does the guy really not take any fuckin dmg while he’s an assist? My last fighter is Ammy and I did Okami Shuffle as soon as she came out because I knew he was gonna call PW, but PW came out, threw papers, and left without a scratch on him.
What kinda music do you guys listen to when you’re playing ultimate? I usually listen to this when i’m handing out some ass-kickery:[media=youtube]NM53Fln3hu0[/media]
People seem to be forgetting that if he get’s mayas shield out, and stands on it, he’s completely invincible. It’s really odd when you think your hitting him, but he’s really comboing on you. In my opinion, he is definitely not as bad as everyone’s making him out to be.
I think you might be oversimplifying that a bit.
How so? When he does that, you cant do shit until Maya puts down the shield and IIRC your attacks cant push him out of it. Too many times have I gone to hit PW and he just gets evidence and then counters my attacks while the attack is going through his model.
Well, for starters, Maya’s shield isn’t “completely invincible”.
so on your battle card you have offline and online stats, including win rate. How does it determine which player you are when playing offline?
woah woah woah wait what. Dude, did they release the costume packs early, Just fought the sparda vergil, did they release some of the costumes early?
lol we complaining bout phoenix wright now? Comparing him to vanilla phoenix? You see the differences between them are twofold, one is phoenix was a good character without dark phoenix unlike mr wright and two is phoenix didn’t need to be on point to get what she needed to become bullshit. Mr wright on the other hand is a terrible character until he has turnabout mode(for now at least, there might be some unknown tech that changes everything) and then he has to naked tag or THC out to get the invincible assist. If that doesn’t scream gimmick character I don’t know what does.
For now at least(we will see how I feel in about 6 months) if a phoenix wright player managed to get the invincible assist on you, you deserve to get your shit blown up. Did you see what rayray did to chris g’s PW team last night? That shit was NSFW. I mean the fact that we complaining bout a character who has to work to become good in a game that has wesker, doom, dante and zero who are just good by default is ridiculous.
Don’t forget that you’ve got characters like Hawkeye who are going to give PW hell.
While Phoenix just had to sit on the anchor spot and not die while the point characters were getting meter, Wright has to rely on being on point, collecting evidence and actually landing an Objection or relying on creative setups before getting really good, and even then he’s pretty predictable, with the biggest threat only happening if he has 3 meters - and it only happens once, afterwards he’s back to normal, all of that without dying in the process.
Simply put, if you lost to a Wright player then he damn well deserved that win.
Lmao I can’t wait to fight the new Dark Phoenix Wright looking at the above comments. I haven’t come across one yet but I’ve been mostly playing against friends, I have from the beginning expected him to be insane though due to his BS mode. At least on paper this dude sounds completely stupid once in turnabout.
The game turned out better than I thought. I figured the new HSD would be horrible but most combos still work (Well its mvc3) I also figured RR would be on my 1# hate list knocking off Ammy due to his size, speed and traps but all the RR’s I fought sucked so Im glad not every noob can mash -> H. Same I thought with PW, but reading comments at least he requires effort. I hate TAC’s so much though. A luck system in a fighting game <3!!! Also mashing isn’t so bad.
OH OH, I do hate Hawkeye as anchor what a terrible design that character has. I mean I wanna play him cause I like him (CONTRADICTION??) but what?; She-hulks slide but better ON A KEEPAWAY CHAR? + A 0 FRAME FULL SCREEN UNPINISHABELGE SUPER THAT’S SPAMMABLE TO DEATH? =D Stay Salty Bryan. That char has more derp than Wolvie especially in XF3, do you see his chip? Wtf… Although I know he’s not that OP. (CONTRADICTION??)… /Rant over.
Wright is ass, for now at least. Until someone discovers some nice tech with him.
He’s hard to use EFFECTIVELY (note: hard to use effectively, not hard to use overall), for sure. He might be the Viper of Ultimate, but for now he’s just another Arthur.
