What would you like to see changed in UMvC3?

got a chance to play some UMvC3 at evo.

when i was running zero/ammy/dante, it seemed like the timing was different when doing assist combos (to be specific, this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apBZz339JR0 )

it seemed like dante was coming out a lot later than usual, as in jam session didn’t even start by the time i finished my 2nd sj.B. not really an ammy specific thing, but you may need to alter timing when doing combos in general (or even relearn them completely)

anyways, on a sidenote, when i was playing (i had a good win streak going, like 7 or 8 wins i’d say), some asshole capcom staff went up to me and told me to stop using old characters and try the new ones (was running chris/dante/trish). i wanted to tell him to fuck off

I wanna hear more of this so beads gets buffed, even though it sure as hell doesn’t need em. Just like slow super, people sleep on it. Beads is so [S]awesome[/S] wack.

Oh ok, well I guess ill have to hit up the lab and do some practice in beads.

Messing around with Ammy at Evo I found out the hard way that she can no longer block during her airdash. Then talking to one of the Capcom staff he told me that she can block in the middle of it, but not during the beginning or the end. Of course there is no way to tell exactly when you can and cannot block.

Probably safer to assume you just can’t block. Of course with how slow her airdash is, any character with a beam super gets a free punish as soon as they see the vine. This was particularly frustrating against Hawkeye, since his level 1 is so damn fast and hits everywhere.

Lmfao I would do the same thing.

Ugh. Third time I’ve heard this so it must be true. ;_;

my guess is she can’t block on the startup or recovery frames but during the actual vine movement, she can block.

So… Shuffle, XFC, OTG in Sword Stance Shuffle to DHC sounds fun.

If you are saying that, its almost like MvC3 now. Ammy can’t block on the startup of her airdash (if time correctly), but can block anytime after.

I wish this were the case, but it unfortunately it is not. For the most part you just cannot block during it.

I wish her Bloom assist was as fast as Morrigans. That is about it.

Jesus, that nerf might be enough for me to drop her.

That

Is a gigantic nerf.

Hmm.

But, I still will persevere with the character. I like her too much. They got rid of the main thing that got my ammy killed, so it might not end up being too bad.

I wouldn’t mind 8 way dash back then if she can’t block during air dash. But i’m asking for too much.

Time to chill out with the spam of disc stance jump>airdash hold back>Os j. C/throw that was basically repeatable endlessly with the right assist use. I especially enjoyed using this followed by golden LeiLei assist, which would allow me to jump and use immediately again if I did not score an opening x infinity. The air dash blocking nerf is a massive hit to her most potent mindless approach, but her rush still outpaces most of the cast regardless of this. She has some of the most lethal ground approach in the game, and the vine will still be great with assist use because of the sheer amount of space it covers.

The weapon change buff is going to make her already above average attack game that much more fluid- make up for defense with heavier offense

i do agree that she doesnt rly need any real buffs but there are a couple of things that they should fix:

1- f.H with reflector doesnt go through crouching opponents.

2- fully charged thunder edge should ALWAYS put them in an untechable spin, as it is right now it doesnt always happen, for some reason they occasionally recover right after they get hit. Considering that its not an easy move to land in a combo i think they should make it a little more consistent.

Hey, I remember when I had this issue, in February

It’s 'cause you’re screwing it up, if you do it right (read: just keep the button held down) it totally works every time

im pretty sure im not letting go of the button, i think it might be because of hit stun deterioration.

You’re letting go of the button, guy.

Tell you what. Why don’t you name a combo you think it doesn’t work in, and I’ll record myself doing it five times in a row?

[LEFT]i would feel rly stupid if that was true…[/LEFT]

[LEFT]im not sure but i figuired that it could be due to HSD since the combos i was doing it in had 2 air combos, and the longer you wait after the launcher to start your air combo the worse the HSD gets. Guess il test it out a few more times and see what happens.[/LEFT]
