UMvC3 General Discussion: You can't control it

Its not from them either.
The words origins obviously date way back to like the mid 1700s where it had a complete different meaning.
People have been saying swag to refer to loot since forever (check out this swag I got from comic-con!) and rappers have been reffering to swag as style since forever too. (in fact, in the 90s, swag actually meant like drugs n shit)

I hope it starts another coast rivalry, these catz have been 2 chummy in the game.

LOL. Now how the hell do you get 600K points in arcade?!

Does anyone know where I could find some tournamentplay with lesser played characters, like Iron Man, Hsien-Ko, Morrigan (I’ve seen the recent ChrisG one), Thor etc.

Does it exist?

If you’re looking for something casual-like, this is a solid, inexpensive option. http://www.amazon.com/Roxio-248400-Game-Capture/dp/B004QMUIO6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322605330&sr=8-1

For higher quality you’re looking at a minimum of around $200 for something like this. http://store.hauppauge.com/hardware2.asp?product=hd_pvr_gaming

Chris G plays Morrigan a lot

Viscant used to play Iron Man but IIRC he only knew the basics

LL.ND plays Hsien-ko

And I wasnt saying Jaha invented swag, I just thought he was the first to bring it to the FGC. I dont think he killed it, but oh well everybody has their opinions.

I can’t tell if the cross counter and jago thing is serious or not. I just don’t know if they’re trying to bring beef hype back to the FGC or what. If they’re not serious they’re damn good actors.

Zoning is definitely viable if you build your team right. Dieminion is pretty good at it with V.Joe/Strange/Morrigan. NYChrisG plays Hawkeye regularly (he was playing with a troll team in the first bracket and his old-school team in the second). As long as you cover your blind spots well and can put enough shit on the screen, it can work. Some characters do have an edge over zoning though and some of the best assists for zoning are from non-zoning characters.

Also, I can’t believe I’ve never seen that video. I came for the Morrigan… I stayed for the Ammy. <3

Stay godlike ChrisG. Get into the grand finals more often so I can see more troll teams (and Team Vanilla-G)! He’s still a tad reckless with her but those air weapon changes were pure elegance. Just watching him move around with her is a great learning experience in itself.

Jago and Mike are clearly joking around. They’re def buddies.

I really feel that it started with that one CC Live episode when Jago was the guest. Some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever watched.

Man Capcom was super nice. Lots of character got 1 million hp. I need to do some math and figure out the overall average hp for an umvc3 character. Then I can take the average hp i get from my team and see if it’s good or not.

Since a few people are interested in Shuma here’s a really really simple combo you can do with him for solid damage in a corner. No charge inputs required.

[media=youtube]Yy6lOoN9cDo[/media]

Input is : Cr/Stnd L -> Crouching Med -> Crouching Heavy -> Jumping Med -> Jumping Heavy X2 -> Jumping Med -> Jumping Heavy X2 -> Jumping Med -> Jumping Heavy X2 -> Launcher -> Jumping Med -> Jumping Med -> Jumping Heavy -> Jumping Special -> OTG Relaunch -> Jumping Med -> Jumping Med -> Jumping Special -> Hyper Mystic Ray. 628k

BOOOOO!!! I think that would be a sick set, although combo would prolly take it. Well lets hope they run into each other during the NEC bracket(if combo ends up going)

kinda joking kinda not.
swagger is alot different then swag… well the way Tyler uses it. He was the first one to use it how its used now. But I could be wrong…

all in all , damn the person who came up with the word.

It’s 500000, and it’s really easy.

I just had to set the time to infinite, the damage to the lowest, and block everything, never forgetting to use Advancing Guard. Always called assists that charged my meter and used Crossover Counter. Used Team Aerial Combos, THC’s, DHC’s, Level 3’s, Snapbacks, Hard tags. Everything you can do in the game, you have to do it in one match. That way I got over 80000 points per match, which are enough.

I thought it was going to be harder, but I just did it with no problems.

Oh, and I just checked the Leaderboards. Thanks to that, I’m ranked 34th in Highest Scores. I should post that gif from Maury again, but instead:

I DID IT FATHER![/details]

We’re almost done with month 1 and I’m seeing usage popularity in online of the new characters at least on PSN as,
Vergil, Frank West, Nova, Firebrand, Iron Fist, Nemesis, Strider, Ghost Rider, Phoenix Wright
I’d say 65% of people are using Vanilla teams, 30% of people are using Teams mixed between new and old characters and 5% roughly are using teams with all new characters on them.

I’m no statistics major but this is just a rough estimate from what i’ve seen so far.

On XBL its prety much Vergil Dante Wesker Frank and Ghost Rider surprisingly enough I hardly ever see strider or firebrand.

That’s because Strider and Firebrand have low vitality and don’t wear a trenchcoat.

Lol everyone is afraid to lose so they aren’t switching teams.

Am I the only one who uses all characters online?

I use ghost rider, but i usefirebrand on the same team. Oddly enough from my play i see the same except replace rider with akuma,hulk and nemesis. I have seen barely any riders, in fact ive seen two more firebrands than him. Canada is a weird place.
