Sentinel had hard counters. While he can beat Cable, he has to work harder because he has to stay above him at all times not to get shot. Strider beats him, too. Psylocke beats him. Go train up if you’re still getting crushed by a Sentinel in 2012.
There will always be a loser. The character shouldn’t have to be given all the tools to get to 5/10 out of all characters. It’s a team game so you can cover those weaknesses with teammates. That’s what the plan was and that’s what you should be doing.
I’m not going to look for it because I don’t care to, but it’s been on the front page along with commentary on the various shows that players create. I do forget who the most well-known player was, not sure if it was Clockw0rk or some other Marvel player, but it was said. If you want a game that’s balanced but no one plays, look at Virtua Fighter and Accent Core. They lack in excitement and EVO has proven it.
You know Dormammu cannot stop Morrigan alone, right? He needs someone to fill the space where he’s preparing to cover the screen. That’s why when you look at F. Champ play against Morrigan he can’t do the same screen spamming against her if he doesn’t have an assist to fill the void.
I don’t care who you use to play, but I do care for people crying for buffs when they don’t explore the character to the fullest degree. If I choose to use an easier character with better rewards when you’re using a high-execution character with very little reward, why should I be the one punished for your choice? We both have the same character select screen, no? Even if you believe a character is in top ten, that’s ten usable characters there. It doesn’t mean the others are useless and you shouldn’t use them, it only means they are harder to use to get any payback from.
You play whoever you want to play, but if you’re going to do that you should not beg for patches. We dealt with it in my heyday of playing, and that’s where Marvel is going right now.
I’m responding to a discussion that was taking place before I even posted and before your asshole puckered. You really are just ignoring an entire precedent to my post.
I wasn’t butthurt over the Sword loops, but it did lead to me asking why one type of character is valued over another. A lot of people love Marlinpie because he plays a high-execution top character but hate Noel Brown for playing Wolverine. I never understood why a tournament player would handicap himself and make it harder to win if he can use an easier team for the same result. I liked the segue and I expected some good answers but then I was reminded why I avoid a lot of SRK.
We don’t know that.
The game hasn’t been unfolded completely. Claiming to know enough about a game to call for changes in less than a year is flat out wrong.
You act like people didn’t always jump to new shiny or something. They just didn’t make new shiny every year; just every two. And lol at this old man shit when it’s the same old man shit they said about generations before
People still play games like Alpha 2, Alpha 3, Jojo’s and Hokuto and they’re not asking for balance changes. They even made a balance update to Alpha 2 and 3 and they were pretty much exiled from the competitive scene.
I really don’t care about discussing balance anymore since we know this is the final version of the game I just wanted to point out the definite relationship between Vergil and Mountain Dew.
I would think that saying “patched 2 weeks after release” would make it clear I was talking about Vanilla. Comprehension, Yea!
You really should read prior posts, because you’re not the only one that feels this way. Search “building a team around a gimmick”.
And yet he had a comeback with Dorm, no? I wasn’t aware the stalking flair was an assist.
Yea with all the people screaming “I’M SO SICK OF THESE BALANCED GAMES ON THIS STREAM!!1!!1!”
That was never the topic at hand, which is why you shouldn’t jump in the middle of a conversation and insist you know what’s going on. Also usable and counter don’t have the same meaning. Name a team strategy that can counter Vergil with swords activated.
I don’t get you, you come in a balance discussion thread, complain about the balance discussion, then even though you admit that there’s not going to be a patch, you don’t want people talking about balance in a thread about balance issues? Explain how wanting your favorite characters to be better is wrong.
I’m just surprised that so many MVC2 guys abandoned their game. Expecting MVC3 to play anything like a game that was made by mistake just defies all reason.
