Taskmaster needs a little, but just a little, bit of a damage nerf to adjust him to this game, cause if he stays the same as MvC3, he’s goin up them tiers.
Wait Viper got BUFFED?!?!? What the fuck? How did Capcom make her better? She was already pretty stupid as she was.
Yea I usually run Wesker on point or Mid actually I normally anchor with Akuma (who I will occasionally run point anyway because people tend to OMGWTFAKUMABUTNOTSPAMMINGAKUMAASSISTLOLWAT) or Sentinel (even though I’m horrible with him as stated before I’m terrible with slow characters) or Dorm since I can normally play catch up/keep away well with him.
I’d like to see if Akuma got anything other than the demon flip throw, air SGS maybe?!
Sentinel got buffed? Sweet, I hope he’s gotten a faster fly 
Not that I main Haggar or any of that randomness but I dont see what losing the hard knockdown does other than making it so you can’t use him to finish combos for your retarded point character anymore or whatever the fuck.
Removing the hard knockdown makes it so that you can’t use Haggar to finish a combo as easily, but more importantly, it makes so that you can’t easily begin a new combo off a successful assist call.
Look up recent videos of Richard Ngyuen (spelt wrong) of WNF. He has recently been running Dante/Haggar/Phoenix, and he makes that team look like completely utter bullocks.
I think the assist nerf is justified as long as the move remains the same when Haggar is on point. If Haggar can destroy projectiles with his pipe and absorb a certain amount of projectile durability during his violent axe, I think that’d a huge step in the right direction.
Well unless they give him something for him as a point character then his basically onlyy really good thing is gone. There was a reason he got a chunk of red life every time he used that assist. That is what made that assist so scary especially with characters like Dante, Viper, Wesker, and Doom on point. Now that thats gone there is really no incentive to pick him (pending point character buffs or just natural love for the mayor as a character.)
Iron Man Unibeam speed and start-up seem to be faster now.
Things that needed to be nerfed?
Could be a nerf. If they’re fast enough to create a blockstring then left/right mixups will be impossible. The fact that they’re on the screen going slow presently gives the point character a lot of time to control the ground.
Her using less meter for EX moves in this easy meter building game is most definitely a buff. Makes her even better as an anchor.
I guess we have to wait and see until someone tests it.
Some thigns yes. But a lot of things I am reading is more of a response to “waahhhhhh I cant get around this and I don’t want to figure out how too”. Like things that were really good but only impossible to counter if you played without any sort of thought.
Yeah it depends on if the speed only accounts for the start up or if it most likely accounts for the actual speed of the drones. We’ll see on that.
The life Haggar lost was hardly a “chunk” LOL. It would be nice if it was a chunk. If by chunk you mean that 1/16th or 17th life he lost that basically got recharged by red health any way? Any good player will just call Haggar sparingly enough to not run out his red health like a scrub all the time.
The main problem with assists in this game is that they still release in a full active form unlike MVC2 even if the point character is hit. Which is why Haggar was so retarded. Even if you made a good read on your opponent and landed a hit…oh well Haggar is still giving the opponent a free ass combo breaker. Being able to kill assists by landing hits or forcing the opponent into a block string would solve the Haggar durp assist issue but Capcom’s not going to do that so at least this way you can still use him to protect you while having to have another assist for your combos. Just put another assist on the team that sets up combos without relying on something invincible for 60 frames.
A character was only really so good to begin with if the sole reason they are a character is for their assist. That worked in a game that was pretty much just shot out and played for 10 years like MVC2 but this is MVC3 where things can be done about things more quickly. That’s why I’m at least comfortable with using Doom as my “assist guy” because he’s actually worth a damn on point even without assists (more so with XF available). We don’t know everything about Haggar yet so they could have improved his point game to make up for the nerf. That could change a lot too.
I’m sorry but being able to have access to an assist that comes out in full active form with 60 frames of invincibility and hard knockdown properties even if you make contact with the point character (as long as they called it first which isn’t hard to do) is stupid. Why do I have to fight a character with an assist where it makes absolutely no difference whether I make a good read on their defense or not and then puts me in a full combo if I don’t sit there and block and put myself in a mix up?
I’d rather they make Haggar stronger on point as a reward for getting his lariat nerfed. That would be fine then having to work around Haggar assist all day just so you end up in unfavorable situations all the time against it any way.
Did I just read that Viper got buffed? :eek:
I haven’t really been watching the streams due to the low quality but I heard Zero’s Buster isn’t a hard knockdown anymore and Rekkouha’s hitbox is wider. Any truth to this?
Viper buff what? o.o
There’s a difference between nerfing and nerfing into oblivion.
Scroll up, Chrisis. I don’t wanna type it twice. xD Oh what the hell. She uses less meter for her EX moves. Tear shit up okay? :3
Isn’t that false though?
Yeah, I thought it was ‘IF’ in the post not what she got.
“chunk” is subjective . It has no numerical value so it can mean anything to anyone so that is a moot point. Someones chunk could be 1/2 someone could be 1/4 someone could be 1/10. I will just say sliver from now on.
You are basically missing my argument though. I am not arguing how dumb the assist was, I am sayign that if Haggar loses that and doesn’t recieve some major upgrades for being on point then he is pretty much useless unless you just REALLY like Haggar.
