I’m really bummed over the characters choices, all I want is some damn Xmen! I’m completely baffled that Hawkeye is in the game when we already have Taskmaster, mind as well put in the Fantastic Four since we already have Super Skrull. The balance changes seem kind of wacky too, they nerf Wolverine/Akuma/Phoenix but for some reason Wesker can still take out an entire team with level 3 X-factor, good shit Capcom.
Bitching aside… Ghost Rider looks pretty fuckin badass.
Pretty hype. If Frank gets in I can do Frank/Spiderman for team photojournalists! Rocket Raccoon seems pretty awesome, love the character in the comics, and if his moves are anything like the comics, giant guns all day! Might want to try team Wright/Frank/Chris. 3 characters who are pretty much “normal” people beating up superheroes. Of course they remove the Exchange glitch after I finally learn how to do it with my she-hulk :/.
If we do a weeklies that would be awesome. Would it be some sort of personal ranbat system, normal pick-up games, or just mini-tourny each week? It would be great to get advice from some of the more experienced players.
It would also be great to practice on a stick if someone is willing to teach me. I feel some of my execution problems (like trying to do DP’s when my character is facing a certain way) might be due to trying to do the motion on the controller stick. Money is kind of tight, but if a cheap one pops up in the future when I get some breathing room I might get one. My main issue with the arcade stick is its size, but that might just be something to get used to.
Hawkeye’s in because of the Avengers movie. Where’s all this about Wesker still being badass though?
I don’t know Blake I kind of like Hawkeye. Apparently his arrows give you different status changes like poison and there isn’t really anything else like that in the game. Also I’m kind of partial to archers…
Kind of wish they had added Cyclops and Doc Ock but w/e. At least the new characters are unique.
Who all is getting 3S:OE on 360 when it drops?
I saw something about Marvel having the last say in what characters they get, so I’m pretty sure they used it as an opportunity to promote unpopular characters.

I think there are two reasons hawkeye is in the game:
-
From Marvel’s perspective: they are trying to hype the avengers, since that is their next big movie (thought I don’t remember seeing him in the previews for the movie)
-
From Capcom’s perspective: he plays differently from taskmaster. Taskmaster’s arrows just do damage while hawkeye’s arrows cause status changes, poison, slow, etc. Think of him more as a mage from final fantasy or something. I can’t think of any character in a fighting game that was based completely around status changes so he might bring something fresh to the series. Also if his assits cause status changes he might make a really good support character for your team.
Hey guys.
To the dudes who stayed over, did anyone accidentally grab the copy of Marvel that was in the PS3 because it was my roommate’s and he can’t find it anywhere.
Thanks!
There was a mini UMvC3 tournament at Comic Con, level 3 X-factor Wesker is still able to kill a character in one combo with no meter. He just needs one air throw, a mid screen gunshot, a command grab, a short, or an air normal and you’re done, it’s in the video archives for Capcom Unity. If they don’t change Wesker then snapping him in and popping level one x-factor to kill him will be pretty common place.
Don’t get me wrong, Hawkeye is definitely a cool character, but he’s already represented. Even though I like Professor X, I’d complain if he were in the game too because he’d be too much like MODOK, I just want some character diversity.
Dang, I hope not. I know we swapped it out for MK9 at some point, but i don’t remember what we did with it. I’ll ask everyone else.
Raging demon’s landed last night:
Donnie - 4

My 4 were with E. Ryu. His 1 was with Oni, but it was an air demon, so that should count for 2 points. The dark hadou brings out the troll in all of us.
From that list of UMvC3 changes (http://www.neoempire.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11445), I like this one:
“X-Factor has been normalised across the board so the percentage increase in speed/damage is near enough the same for everyone.”

Maybe that means sentinel will get back some of his health since that will cut down his damage potential a lot.
It would be funny if he got the Tager treatment and shrunk.
Any updates on Blazblue, like is another version coming soon? I went to Dustloop and learned that PSVita is getting Relios Clover as a playable character (looks like same mechanic as Carl, but different fighting style and Doll) which COULD mean another DLC character in the future. I just want another version to learn more about the story. Did anyone get some time with Platinum? She seemed pretty good, but looked kind of tough to play.
Was Hazama nerfed too bad with the new patch? Heard his normal BnB combo got messed up.

LOL at Tager treatment.
DnD, so, you might have been a victim of aircraft speed detection. I learned at work that the weekend we went to Richmond, State Police had the aircraft out checking speeds over I-81. It’s only the 5th time since 2006 the state police have utilized the aircraft. Awful luck.
Looks like my place Sunday for Evo finals. Justin and I are working on Friday and Saturday.
Hazama is still A-tier. Does weak damage midscreen w/o meter. But with meter or in the corner, still great damage. You can only jump cancel the second hit up jumping CCCCC, but whatever. Still good damage and oki. And getting free wins on Tager by running away!
Hazama is still good, I just would rather roll back the patch than learn him again. I got to many habits to break with him when Haku doesn’t really change much.
Haha that would help him.
I’m guessing Relius and someone else will come as DLC eventually for PS3/360 version also. I’m kind of surprised another character is being added to CS2, figured that wouldn’t happen again til the next version. But I’m glad if it’s going to prolong the life of CS2, I’d be fine if a new version didn’t come out for a long time. There’s enough games to learn already these days and I don’t have any major problems with the balance of CS2 right now.
Oh and I know nothing of Platinum, didn’t buy her and fought her only once since she came out.
DnD loves Platinum, her combos arnt even hard. She can easily get 6k damage if someone is unable to tech a throw.
