What absentee MvC2 characters could hang in 3?

Rouge I think would do good. Give her some loops, a jump cancel or 2, a special grab and high damage. Another hyper other than Good Night Sugah. Power ups would be godlike. She would be a very interesting character for Marvel 3.

My nigga Gambit.

Dumb weapon normals, canned crossups, good projecile, nice supers. GIVE ME REMY DAMMIT!!

Hayato would also be dirty.

Juggs would be pretty meh.

Yeah Juggernaut would be pretty easy to counter pick. I love headcrush to death but they’d have to give him some pretty beefy armor options with all the projectile spam that can go on in a match.
I’d have to go with classic juggs, the colossus juggs is kind of…meh…game wise I also hate colossus moveset in other vs games. If they retooled him I’d be down.

Gambit on the other hand would probably the best pick and easily transferable moveset wise. I mean he’s got 2 really good utility hypers, nice projectile, cajun friggin strike. The original vs trenchcoat.

One character I didn’t mention was Spiral, Spiral/Doom would be INSANE. Spiral/Morrigan/Doom would probably make me quit the game hahaha

lol.

Jin because he has Drill Dive instead of Foot Dive, Blodia Punch would shit on Bionic Arm, Typhoon assist would be the buffed version of Tatsu, Dynamite assist would be a sick GTFO, Vulcan would be the invincible version of Hailstorm, and XF3 Saotome Shine would have some hilarious levels of derp. His lvl3 Typhoon would be invincible and suck everything on screen into the middle of the stage. It would have similar properties to Tanden Engine where if you’re not blocking beforehand you will get combo’d. You would be able to combo off of his command grab which is now a GRAB and not a hit. He’d also have a bunch of ground/wallbounce normals, armored attacks, high damage, and laughable hitboxes.

Going by Marvel 3 logic this seems pretty accurate.

Yah that WOULD make him valuable, but without all those changes. He wouldn’t be very plug and play.
That being said while a handful of characters are ridiculous I wouldn’t see capcom buffing him to those levels.
Frankly unless they made those major changes he’d just be “fair” and fair doesn’t cut it.

I mean Ryu makes a “typhoon” and it don’t suck shit…it just sucks.

People play Ryu in this game??? How bout if his Denjin mode lasted more than 3 seconds since it cost a whole fucking bar.

Gambit would be dope with his speed and if they gave him a decent OTG he’d be a master. Oh and where is servebot up in this piece???

Anakaris and Thanos would have such retarded combos in this game, because of their troll-ass capture moves. Plus, Anakaris throw+Missiles would have some stupid potential…

Why did Capcom put Nemesis and Nova in this game? There were so, so many better choices. I can argue for most of the others, but those two don’t need to be here…

Congratulations, Capcom. I just fixed the roster of UMvC3.

[spoiler/]

Well it was sort of a joke but even if they game him all of that he wouldn’t be that great because he’d have no mobility (No wave dash, double jump, air dash, roll, etc) and no projectile to launch at people.

'Nuff said.

Frankly I think Nemesis is dope, but they executed him terribly. Never had any love for jin or ruby.

I do miss omega and sabre tho

I really liked Venom and Iceman…

bison - dat teleport mixups. invincible super. psycho field assist

juggernaut - bionic arm has nothing on headcrush

omega red - he’ll probably have some crazy zipline mechanic like spencer or spiderman

cyclops - he fits in pretty much every marvel game

gambit - same

psylocke - same

ruby heart - dunno what to say but her moves would make for some interesting combos in mvc3

blackheart - him with hidden missiles would be nice

rogue - would be interesting but capcom would be too lazy to give her stolen moves like in xvsf

silver samurai - he has a sword, numerous install supers and depending on how generous capcom would be, they might even give him back his teleport (blink) from cota.

Everyone seems to have a rival in the game, the only ones off the top of my head who do not are:
Spencer- came from a generic Capcom game, hard to give him a natural rival.
Dr Doom- no FF (due to licensing) so you get another villain Super Skrull instead of a “rival”.
Spider-man-(they kind of dropped the ball) they could have slightly re-tooled Venom , or created Green Goblin or Doc Oc.
She-Hulk- no natural rival in the game

That’s about all I could think of off the top of my head.
I would have love to have seen Gambit, Iceman and Venom back in 3, but they are not “current” fan favorite enough to be included, all three could work though.

Hell nah. I mean, MM is cool and all but Zero allows me fraudulent wins. That makes him more worth it.

Lol at anyone asking for Megaman. He was shit tier in 1 and 2, what makes you think things’ll change in 3.

Also, Cable + the One True Assist (aka Hidden Missiles) sounds sexy as fuck. Run Morg/Cable/Doom, use Morg’s meter building assist, hit someone with misslies, AHVB, the rest is history.

EDIT: This is Megaman’s main purpose in MvC2.

i dont like this thread

I used to think Cable would be great in this game, but now Im not so sure. first off, what are his normals?

LETS PLAY THEORY CABLE

ST.L:easy enough to figure, standing jab

STANDING L

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK0FD.gif

CR.Lis his crouching jab still his fastest attack? what is its priority?

CROUCHING L

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK126.gif

J.L: another easy one

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK14D.gif

ST.M:wouldnt launch, so easy enough, kick

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK119.gif

CR.M: since its 3d the “gun in the mouth kick” would be harder, so, punch

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK12B.gif

J.M: punch version

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK151.gif

ST.H: THE PROBLEM. WHAT DO YOU DO HERE? IS THIS STANDING FIERCE? IS THIS STANDING ROUNDHOUSE?
I want to lean towards stand fierce, but his one button mashable projectile would be realllly stupid in this game. FPx4+missiles+nadexxpsimitar if they jump? tears galore. so lets say its his roundhouse

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK120.gif

CR.H: well give him his OBP here, one shot up forward, maybe keep wesker down? idk, i dont even play this game

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK131.gif

J.H: kick version of j.M

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK161.gif

S and CR.S: launcher

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK102.gif

J.S: J. fierce, causes knockdown if ending an aircombo, wall bounce if from full screen allowing dash up launch?

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK155.gif

electropunch (idk the real name, get off me) would cause wall bounce

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK1B8.gif

psimitar could be instant startup as a command, not as an assist (like cap americas stars and stripes)

Spoiler

http://www.ahvb144.sakura.ne.jp/img/cab/PL17PAK1A7.gif

nades could be now fixed to attack strength instead of holding it as to where they explode
L: right over your head, short amount of time
M: about half screen at normal jump height, medium amount of time
H: on the ground full screen, long time

psimitarxxAHVB would still be in, cr lp cr lk st. hk TK ahvb would not (no sjc in this game), but maybe LMH elctropunch TK AHVB could be? but that might not even be the optimal combo? with OTG times and shit

do viper beams beat everything still? probably not. will a TK H viper beam beat dormammus chaotic flame? or chris’ shotgun? or hawkeye arrows? cable would probably end up sucking for the sake of appeasing stream monster wishes to “see new characters get tournament play” fucking WEEABOOS >:(

POSSIBLE COMBOS
L M H electropunch dash H sj. M M H S H nade TK AHVB

IDK WHAT ELSE, FUCK THIS, NOT LIKE HES IN THE GAME ANYWAYS >:(

I’d personally want to see Hayato and Jin in TvC myself. They’d go really well with the retro sci-fi aesthetics the Tatsunoko guys have going on.

If Gambit had an izuna drop like followup/variation to his charge attack and another version of Cajun Slash that would be awesome.
