Looking at the lastest vids, his drill claw and dive kick pressure look really really stupid. Like MvC1 stupid.
As long as it’s not MSHvsSF stupid, I’m good with that.
Actually, Wolverine was generally relatively high tier in every game prior to MvC2. I think part of the reason is because hes a returning character that hasn’t received any major new abilities, so people aren’t trying him out when they get the chance. They’d rather try out the new characters or go with whats been proven on vids before to stay on the game. When the game comes out I’m sure we’ll get more play of him, at least for a while.
I would prolly take it even farther and say he’s relatively TOP tier.
Games he’s the best in - cota, MSHvSF
Games he’s top tier in - MSH, xmvsf, MvC (iirc, he might be the best)
Games he’s not top tier in - MvC2
Yeah I was trying to allude to that with my statement about MVC2. People tend to have short term memory, and look at MvC2 Wolvie.
I’m very impressed with Wolvie in this game. I like his Tornado Claw, and how easy his Fatal Claw can seemingly be combo’d into.
I know many aren’t using him, but I personally can’t wait to give him a try. Also, I’m loving his (Don’t know the name) ultra speed Hyper. Shit makes me dizzy just staring.
I barely played MvSF, so I have no clue about tiers in that game at all (I heard that Omega Red was the broke character in that one).
But in my scrubby opinion, regarding MvC, discounting the hidden characters (Gold WM and Red Venom seriously break the game), he tied with WM and Strider. WM was good all-around, Strider had his stupid Ouroboros and Legion and great normals, and Wolvie was just pure rushdown combo stupidity.
I’m seeing flashes of that pure rushdown combo stupidity in MvC3 vids. And it’s scaring me in a good way…
I like the fact that everyone sleeping on wolves, I just need more X-men to team him up with =/
Yeah, Wolvie was better than Omega Red. Most people who dont play it think that for some reason. Omega Red basically raped everyone BUT Wolvie, and Wolvie raped everyone.
So according to the Seth /Keits comicon interview wolverine has safe berserker barrage aswell as possibly other safe specials. His moves are just alot safer is what we’re getting. Which is awesome.
Yeah, Seth Killian differentiated the types of rushdown characters that were in the game. X-23’s mix-ups are nasty, with a newly made arsenal of specials, but he said some of her attacks were unsafe. Balances the whole hopping, grabbing, cross-up, overhead shenanigans she has.
Wolverine is a bit more toned down, but his moveset looks promising. I’m hoping his offense consists of Berserker Barrage strings, dive-kicks, and Berserker Slash cross-ups. If he can cancel Berserker Barrage into Berserker Rage and have frame-advantage, it’ll be a field day.
wolvie is really good. with doom rocks or dorm portal he could really keep people in the corner
found a video featuring his level 3

Not sure if this has been brought up. Probably has but anyways…
What do you guys think of Wolverines Genei-Jin/Custom combo super thingy? Iv’e noticed that it’s “time” is alot shorter than in 2 but I haven’t seen anyone actually use it in a vid mor than just activate it and then get beat down :P.
Because it’s shorter im guessing and I really hope that this time it’s going to be better. Maybe faster/more priority and stuff. Maybe even something your opponent should be scared of. Has anyone tried it out or maybe someone has an input to the whole thing?
Loved wolvie in 2 but he sucked so hopefully he will be playable in 3 :karate:
I remember reading that it heals him.
Lol imagine doing Ammy’s mist then DHC into Wolvie speedup then KFC for more speed.
^you got me thinking. I think I’ll try Ammy-Wolverine-Arthur/Dante. Ammy’s Mist DHC into speed up will be beast, they won’t be able to react fast enough to get out of his berserker pressure, then crossups and mixups and shit. It’s going to be flippin sweet. Arthur or dante on anchor to balance out the team, provide a good assist
Good idea
Ammy=Amateratsu the wolf from Okami
Who is Ammy?
On the stream, somebody said that the speed-up also sped up his timers which is why it ended so fast, I can’t tell if he was joking or not tho’. If it made X-factor end quicker that’d be sad >>

At around 2:05, Wolvie speeds up, DHCs out, but the speed up stays active once he comes back in (the timer resumes. He’s also still sped up when he comes in as an Tornado Claw assist ala “glitched Juggy”, but I can’t tell if it’s sped up or not. Obviously, it would be quite awesome if so.
it definitely works that way, time is frozen for them while they’re off. Same thing if you tag out a handjob victim.
