Maybe that’s the thing that pisses people off the most about Wesker, you have to be INCREDIBLY patient with him. The dude just jumps, pistols, and decides… Let’s press :l: this time around. He ends up juke teleporting you, you end up jumping like an idiot, and you tri jump to rush him down instead. He pistol teleports to the other side of the stage and you sigh as your Sentinel is getting punished. Overall, you can’t get his ass in a corner without him doing something stupid, and you can’t call an assist without him avoiding it, randomly catching it with his pistol, or punishing it. And of course, the whole time he’s playing games with you, he’s getting you steamed, building up that heat to force you into mistakes, and watching how you play. It’s the perfect opportunity to analyze the play style of another without putting himself at risk. Then once he gets a feeling for it, he can move in and bait with a Haggar assist (Ala Viscant style), or watch you make a mistake and capsize on it.
Well… At least in theory. I’m probably just over-thinking it.
I actually think the most annoying character for me would be Magneto. Keep in mind that I didn’t buy the game, so pretty much I’m going off which character bugs me most when I watch. I can watch a good Wesker and be entertained. I’m not so fond of Zero but he’s interesting enough…Magneto on the other hand, it’s like I want to fast-forward the match whenever someone pulls him out. I find his animations and movements so incredibly ugly.
Ever since I saw him in MvC2, I never understood why he could kick so damn high (It’s not even a regular kick - sweeps out then in which requires almost every muscle in the upper and lower leg to be fully flexible). Any chance somewhere in the comics he trained countless years to win gymnastics in the Olympics or something? Or did Capcom completely drop my pants in being confused on this one?
Gotta go with Zero and Tron for already stated reasons. Really easy combos that take forever and do good damage and have high priority starters. The lamest teams in the game are ones with Zero on point and Tron assist. Those are the people that I just don’t play more than once because it’s the most mindnumbingly dull fight you can have. I’d rather deal with Wolverine and Phoenix than Zero and Tron.
Y’know, I finally fought a keep-away Zero today and I can honestly understand why people are salty about it. But Tron? She’s got corner combos and whatnot, but that hit stun scaling hits her HARD.
Zero: It’s mainly that he is such a low dmg character… so when a good Zero players starts up on you, you can literally get up and grab a soda and make popcorn before the combo is over and a character has died
Does it really? I’m only going off of personal experience and the person I play always hitconfirms into a combo that lasts forever and builds enough meter to pay for King Servbot link into Lunchtime. Tron’s combos take forever and don’t even look flashy, it’s the biggest momentum killer in the game, I feel like just stopping and getting a soda or something while it’s going on.
I think the biggest pain in this game is when you seem to have breathing room, but in reality, you don’t. Like the whole hard knockdown BS. Yay for watching my character twirl in the air like a dumbass for 3 seconds straight without a way to tech out or recover.
Also, the only characters who can die to a two meter combo without X-Factor are Zero and Ammy.
I don’t hate her because she kills me in one two meter combo though, I hate her because everything she does is long, boring, and not very difficult to execute. Honestly I’d prefer it if she had a fast flashy combo that killed me.
Oh, yeah, that’s what I meant by my first paragraph. Her normals come out reeeeaaaaal slow and the whole time she’s smacking you with legos in mid air you’re just watching the guy next to you wait about 1 second before pushing again. Then once she’s done building a house you get the whole drill charge into :s: with some OTG and blah blah blah.
I hate OTG so much. Probably the stupidest mechanic I’ve ever seen put into a game.
Edit: Correction, I hate the OTG time frame available and how forgiving it is, including the fact that characters like Wesker have enough hitstun on their normals to pull off multiple in air magic series during the same combo.
Geeze I agree -_- and beside that I just wanna rage whenever I see Dante for just telelport, sword slam, and etc. I try to have a good time, it always goes wrong D:
All these complaints of Zero, really? I’m kinda surprised, he isn’t that high up on the tier lists, and unless you’re playing online his mixups aren’t that hard to block (i should know, I use him). I also feel like his health becomes a huge handicap seeing as unlike Ammy and Phoenix, Zero actually has to get in to do decent damage. With my experience his projectiles don’t carry as much weight as many others do
Biggest herp derp other than wolvie and phoenix for me has to be Dante. His scrubiness knows no bounds in this game. He can completely mistime a combo and still continue it because his sword hits 360 degrees (despite animations not showing it) and he can combo you from anywhere from any position from any situation. Should have his hitboxes changed, moreso than Zero (and as a Zero user i admit some of his hitboxes are stupid). Needs huge nerfs in the hit deterioration department IMO too, but im just salty about it
Are we gonna have to go into the Zero forums and have Devil outline every little reason why Zero is ridiculous? I mean, we all know Dante in the right hands is bullshit, but when I watch Dante players, I see 'em drop a combo at least every now and then. But Zero players? Once they get in, that shit goes on for days. No kidding, I can honestly say I’ve never seen a Zero player worth mentioning drop a combo on stream.
Apparently we do. Zero is a top 10 character. An excellent counter to Wolverine. One of the better DHC trick enders. Decent assists. Good hypers. Easy low damage combos. Harder near ToD combos. Hit boxes on s. H and f. H that, by my rough guestimate, 90% of the cast can’t do shit about. Yup, that’s all I got at the moment and man would a character that has all that going for them suck some donkey dick in a game like MvC3.
God, how the fuck did Taskmaster not make my list the first time? Fuck that guy so hard. Aim of Hawkeye covering perfect angles for both pressure and keepaway and being the hardest hitting projectile in the game and it OTGs, amazing one-button command normals that make his combos just braindead and just as damaging if not moreso than Wolverine’s, sword-normals that come out absurdly fast and cover a ton of area, especially his jumping heavy which makes for an amazingly simple and effective defense, he gets full damage off his Legion Arrow super from an air throw… and I know I already mentioned one-button command normals, but seriously, Shield Skills. Fuck Shield Skills. One of the best - if not the best pokes in the game, can be dash cancelled to give it absurd range, it eats projectiles, can be special cancelled or just comboed into launcher.
Taskmaster is just one of those really well put together characters who has no apparent downside, and will likely end up being the Fei Long of UMvC3 as no news has come out of him receiving any nerfs at all, just a new move the form of his Sword Charge. Taskmaster players, am I just salty for no reason? Or does this guy seriously not have a weakness?
again. Then once she’s done building a house you get the whole drill charge into :s: with some OTG and blah blah blah.
