What absentee MvC2 characters could hang in 3?

Classic Fighting Games Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3
1

Looking at 3’s general rule structure?
Granted there is some fantasy play here because you never know where
the designers would add a ground bounce or another property to the move.
Staying as faithful to their MvC2 design what characters could stay relevant?
It’s safe to assume normal stuff like no hard knock downs on anti air assists or
crouching light OTG’s.

Cable: I think would suffer because of the way meter is gained in this game. Definitely
would be more of a 2nd slot character due to reliance on meter and the stystem stopping ability to build
meter on whiff. Terror on assist calls and with the extra damage in this game he’d still
have his utility.

Blackheart: Tracking infernos? Hard tags from demons? Blackheart backed with hidden missiles? He’d be good but I think push blocking would make life a lot harder for him unless they changed some of his move properties.

Captain Commando: The assist would be sex, beside that, he’d need some wall bounces or something applied to his moves to not simply be luke warm.

Omega Red: Same thing here, he COULD have his utility with Omega strikes but properties on tentacle slams would have to change. Not to mention his supers suck.

Dan: He’d be godlike. Nuff said.

Okay it’s early, chime in…or let just let the thread die.

that big robot, i think his (its, whatever) name was sentinel? i think he’d be pretty good

3

I’m sure Juggernaut would be pretty damn good in MVC3. He would be like a better Hulk, because they would DEFINITELY give him some armored normals and specials.

4

RubyHeart. She has the tools needed to star in the craziness that is mvc3.

5

Black Heart? I could of sworn you were talking about Dormammu for a second there. -_-

I think Hayato should of been put in the game. I mean, who doesn’t want any more sword characters right? They put a lightsabre on Zero and dude is one of the best in the game. Wish my man Hayato got the same justice.

I really wished they had put in Ruby Heart and Amingo though. Those were MVC2 characters that was made for that game. I really thought they should of got carried over honestly.

They should of put Thanos in the game too. His kind of fighting style, moves and his hypers look like it would really fit in the game. Also I would want that troll ass bubble assist/move. Thinking about what you could do with it in MVC3/Ultimate just gets ideas rolling in my brain.

Silver Samurai… That dudes install supers are so dope and change his moves/specials completely. It looks like it would have really fit in with MVC3’s install supers and the ideas behind using the supers in battle seem pretty interesting. The thunderstorm super is way boss and I miss using that to punish assists in MVC2.

Ice Man for that retarded chip damage ice beam seems like it would fit too. Who wouldn’t want magnetic tempes… I mean arctic attack supers? Don’t forget that he wouldn’t get chipped out by projectiles too. I really think that fact alone would make MVC3 a very different game. He could be a counterpick character against strong run away teams and such.

Spiral is another character that I think we be legit ass fuck in the game too. I think they need some variety in fighting styles in MVC3 which they have and I think Spiral has too. I’m glad they put in Super Skrull because his fighting style/moves are very unique so that’s why I’m saying Spiral would fit in pretty cool. Her level 3 would be bonkers too.

Jin Saotome easy. I really wished they put that Blodia in and called it a wrap. His super’s are too legit. If Spencer saw what a real bionic arm looked like, he would probably cry himself to sleep. A hurting taunt would be mad legit too. Where he wipes himself so fast he starts to burn. Legit.

Should of put Cammy in too. I think they needed a better type of physical character with no fireballs and Cammy would fit that roll better. I think her canon drills being able to break certain projectiles would be pretty interesting. Her supers are always classic too. If her hyper was still able to combo after in MVC3 that would be awesome. When I say that I mean like Viewtiful Joe’s combo rush super. You can combo after it and such.

BB Hood and Anakaris. No one barely even touches their games much due to them not being that popular in the US. I mean, there’s many loyal fans but the point to huge tournaments like Japan, then no. The more Darkstalker characters in a game like MVC3 the better. They’re both so unique and I think their styles would fit in perfectly.

I could go on but I think this is a good spot for now. lol. Fuck, I might just go play some MVC2. Got myself hyped up -_-

Haha, so true.

And I agree with everything you said in your post. Jin, Amingo, Ruby Heart, Spiral, B. B. Hood and Anakaris would have all looked just spectacular in MVC3’s art style. Well, any Darkstalkers character would have looked great in MVC3’s engine, since all of them have sick animations and designs.

7

The shitty low-polygon-count of UMVC3 would not do Jin or Blodia the appropriate justice.

8

Thing I don’t like about these assumptions - The game is entirely different, and characters would have to be somewhat redesigned. Cable has more than just AHVB going for him. He’d still be effective at runaway, but what if little things, like his grenade explosion wasn’t controllable? What if his big damage didn’t come from AHVB alone? What if his AHVB didn’t have instant air recovery when he landed, making the idea of AHVBx3 useless?

The actual game mechanics need to be factored in with these sorts of things.

9

Yeah I know what you’re saying sausage. I was thinking of ways how they would incorporate the characters from MVC2 into 3 and it seemed like it would really be cool though. I gave some vague examples in my post but I honestly think some of those characters would fit well even while being changed.

10

What you talking about? UMVC3’s 3D models are quite probably the best 3D models I’ve seen in my life!

11

…

And wont take energy chip damage…

psshh…

12

Understood, but if you follow the basic rules of this game, you could fantasy it up pretty easily.

Juggernaut for instance already has an OTG or two. (Juggernaut punch and earthquake.)

Omega Red has the tentacle grabs or c.RH

Just assume air series stuff has the same properties of MvC3 etc…but I get what you mean.
Can they follow up their air throws? Ground throws? Are the supers invincible? Whats the hitstun deterioration like? Etc…a lot of small
details change how a character plays. Just look at Morrigan from MvC3 to Ultimate.

13

That said…
Ruby Heart

14

S.T.A.R.S. Jill
Sakura
Rogue

i just picked characters i liked, but i think they could work.

15

I see Sakura being raped, maybe if they gave that Ryu hit box. Rogue though, that dive kick hit mid? Don’t remember if you could combo from it or not. Nothing else really stands out for me for her moveset. Foul play though: Jills already in the game :wink:

16

Iceman = direct counterpick to Morrigan/Doom. Chris G would be crying somewhere if this dude was in the game.

17

Sakura would definitely work in this game. She wouldn’t be high tier at all, probably a little better than Iron Fist if she had a fireball worth a damn. I was really hoping she was in this game but I’ll just main Morrigan instead.

18

Iceman and they could expand on his moveset.

Shit, he could be given a teleport and a doppleganger hyper not to mention a pseudo airdash.

And Juggs could be a power up hyper for Colossus that gives him super armor on certain normals, speed increase and damage increase.

EDIT: Sakura would be top in this game if her dark sakura mode was implemented correctly.

19

I would probably pick Iceman/Dr.Doom/Morrigan and have everyone super salty.

Thanos.

They will fear bubbles.
