WHATAMIFIGHTINGFOOOOOOOOO!: the MvC3 Zero Thread

I need to update that FAQ section, new Zero players are all asking the same questions even though there’s a thread 3 threads below them asking the same questions. :S

Please let a Fight Club come to Miami, please Capcom.

I came by this thread simply because the name of this thread is pure awesome.

…ok, now to go back to the Spider-Man forum, since Zero makes me pull my hair out.

Carry on.

So uh… I have a question. Does it bother any of you that Zero’s voice actor is the same guy who is the voice of Ichigo in Bleach? And does it also bother you that his Japanese voice actor sounds just as bad?

Are you on drugs?

"NO MORE GAMES!"
Most gdlk line in the game.

I don’t recall saying anything about his script (Chris’ is the best, cough cough), just the fact that anime voice actors are… How do I put this… Real bad. Capcom should’ve shelled out the money to get someone who wasn’t that dude from Bleach. For Zero’s sake, I would’ve done the damn voice acting!

I don’t like most anime VAs either, but JYB is a gdlk exception.

Zero’s badassery + JYB’s VA = gdlk

His Japanese VA has been the same VA from alll the way back from the early X series, also gdlk.

Is j.:m:> cr.:l: seriously an unblockable with the right timing when Sougenmu is up? If so that’s so ridiculous on a character like Zero. I barely see any Zeros use Sougenmu for mixups so I’m just curious.

It is unblockable, but all of Zero’s mixups are already unblockable anyway.

Jump up, command dash down quick low is literally unblockable, I have like 99% success rate with that mixup.

Sougenmu unblockables can be pushblocked, my opponents have learned to do that.

can’t pushblock it when Ammy is shooting snowballs at you

catch them far away with a lv 3 buster and start a combo. then they will know your real reach and, after, they will fear you.

SO how about dat Virgil boys?

I don’t know if anyone else caught this on the Devastation stream, but both Justin and David did a quick double take when it happened but quickly returned to commenting on the match and I think it might need some more exploration:

A Zero player (I don’t remember who… KillerKai maybe) did standing H, the first hit connected (clean hit, not blocked) and then he cancelled it into a regular throw…how is that even possible? It was done on Hulk so I thought maybe armor had some part to play in this. I spent a couple hours yesterday testing different timings of Zero’s standing H vs various Hulk moves (including the armored H of course) but couldn’t find any way to get a throw. Was this just a really bizarre anomalous glitch, or is it something that can be controlled?

Hey Eviltoaster I have been wondering this for awhile, do you use an arcade stick?

It’s throw canceling. Because of the way throws work, canceling into a forward heavy from another normal still counts as a throw input. If the opponent is in a throwable state when you cancel into forward heavy, you will get a throw. It’s easy to do on anyone with super armor. I’m pretty sure this works with anyone who can chain into forward heavy (dante)

Yes

eh, we’ll see. I havent really seen too much that show’s he’ll have a ton of synergy with Zero, which makes me iffy. But then again, there are what, like 7 vids online of him played? so who knows, I could eat these words…

I think you could make Virgil work with zero but there are much better options out there. Im thinking about pairing him up with Ghost Rider myself. I like the chain assist, it has good range and it wall bounces OMG!! Iron Fist flame kick looks really good too. Not much for lockdown but the hit confirm makes them both interesting. In vanilla there are no assists that wall bounce with such good range. :clapdos:

IMO Virgil is either a really good point or anchor. His assist are good but theyre nothing special. I dont think they can cover movement very well but you could use him if you can get in. Hopefully rising sun has some invicible properties for a get off me assist. Then you could play lame with Zero and let your opponent come to you. As it stands Zero’s zoning ability got a serious buff with the buster canceling specials. Now Zero could out zone any one and force his opponent to rushdown, superjump, or eat buster shots which, could be where Virgil’s rising sun would come into play. If they rush his up tele is good for evading and offense because you have to his respect j.H. If they start superjumping around then you can get in for free because they cant call assists. This would work as long as you can dominate the groud with busters and fireballs. But personally I wouldnt use him with Zero.

Theyre a :lame: bunch of scrubs. LOL!!
