Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - Part 2

[venom892]

I'm doing better on player matches than Ranked.

Same here.The ranked matches are intense.btw anyone online?

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Dormammu seems like such a bizarre and random choice considering there is no Dr Strange.. I would have gladly subbed him out for Strange... or Storm. And as fun as X-23 is, Black Panther would have been awesome instead, with essentially the same move set.....

And DD or Iron Fist instead of MODOK

Seriously though, I don't really have any complaints with roster, I'm sure every marvel fan could have easily subbed a few characters out for some favourites.

 

[SuperFerret]

Shut your mouth! MODOK is awesome! Incredibly weird to play as, but still awesome.

But yeah, I'd gladly trade Sentinel, X-23, Dormammu and Storm for Ultron, Beast, Dr. Strange, and Cyclops.

 

[Havok83]

Playing with all the characters, I can say that they all have potential. Some are better than others, but I can pick Random All and still have fun with whomever the computer gives me

 

[SuperFerret]

I was choosing Random All last night for a few of the fights I had with ProjectPat. First time playing with a few of them, and I'm sure it showed.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

Just doing marvel... and basing on both character and gameplay
1. Howard the duck
2. Doc Ock
3. Blackbolt
4. Namor
5. Nightcrawler

But..... would also love to welcome

Medusa
Venom
Nico (runaways)
Scarlet Witch
Doctor Strange
Ms Marvel
Spider Woman
Cyclops
Iceman

Storm will never be out of Marvel games. She's probably Marvel's most popular female with the core general audience for a number of reasons.

Also I reall hope Howard the Duck ends up as DLC so I can by ProjectPat's system of choice and kick his ass with him.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

So far... the only person I can't do squat with is chris. Everyone else I have potential with... but chris just doesn't work with me for some reason....

 

[Nathan]

I like how X-23 plays in the game. She possesses a lot more finesse than Wolverine and just goes for the kill. I just love how deadly she is.

Chris is hard to play right, but I've gotten pretty decent with him, I need to to be able to play Team Resident Evil when Jill comes out. I can't do **** with Spencer.

Yeah I don't have the time to be as good as the ranked guys so I enjoy the player matches. It's still better than playing Arcade mode over and over lol. I've fought Sentinel a few times with Spidey and to my shock I was able to beat him down. The speed of Spidey seems to do well if you can stay in his face. I'm also loving Zero in this. My best team is probably Spidey, Zero and Hulk. I'm still going to practice with Thor. I've won 2 player matches with him today.

I'm still not a fan.


Though I'd buy a DLC costume for her if they gave her the mohawk.


Chris is a surprising favorite of mine, but then again, anyone who shoots Deadpool in the face with a shotgun is cool with me.

 

[Havok83]

Mohawk...her most overrated costume. Unfortunately I bet its what she does end up getting. My favorite of hers was her X-treme look but thats covered as Color 4 of her costume. I wouldnt mind if they gave her back her look from MvC2, the 90s Lee costume

Speaking of costumes, I hope Jean gets her red X-factor look. That also came in a green variation. Either this or her 90s Lee look

 

[MarvelWarrior]

I'm curious what Hulk and Spidey will get. I hope Zero get his Mega Man Zero look. Also wonder what they will give She-Hulk.

 

[Nathan]

I hope everyone gets a proper new costume. I think Agent X would be cool for Deadpool, Taskmaster's really only other costume would be his UDON design, Wesker classic S.T.A.R.S., Spencer should get the Rearmed design and Spider-Man either Ben Reilly Spidey or Scarlet Spider.

 

[socool]

I'm having an incredible time with Spencer. His grabs and specials are just awesome. My team usually consists of Spider-Man and Spencer. The third person is always a four way tie between Dante, Taskmaster, Deadpool and Chris.

 

[Nathan]

I have settled with Taskmaster, Deadpool and X-23. I wanted Dante on my Team, but I think he requires too much work for someone who only plays casual.

I was going with Spidey, Deadpool and Stark, but iv since replaced Stark with Dante. I love that dude. He's got sooo many great moves. Him and Deadpool combined tend to make a great team. Since iv put Dante on my roster im 3-0. Albeit the people i played were all under .500 in the W/L.

I want to try and get good with Wesker. He seems like a lot of fun to use the little bit that iv used him.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Haha, well you straight owned my core team a few times. Haha i was getting frustrated that your randoms were beating my main guys. It was fun tho.

 

[Nathan]

Alright... the endings so far are rather disappointing. I know it's all supposed to be mindless fun, but I wish a bit more effort had went into the story. As least as much effort as they put into SFIV.

IA. Most are rather lame and dont make any type of sense

Storm's Double Typhoon takes an eternity to unleash. You can make a sandwich in the time it takes for you to input the command and it to actually connect

I dont like that the Mission Mode doesnt have the command inputs on screen. SFIV did. Instead here, you have to keep going into the pause menu to see what the button presses are. Makes it much harder than it needs to be as it comes down to memorization.

Also I didnt think the Mission Mode would be a straight rip of the Challenge mode. I thought there would be actual missions where you were placed in several different fight scenarios. That probably might have been a bit more entertaining

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Ok who exactly do you break an air combo? Iv done it randomly like once. I know Ur supposed to press what they do, but are u supposed to add something to the directional input? Or do u block in the direction they input?

 

[Nathan]

The gameplay itself is very fun. But the overall package seems a bit lacking compared to SFIV. The endings are the best example. Alright, so you were too lazy to have animated or CGI cutscenes, then at least offer some decent panel endings. Have you guys already seen X-23's ending? Like... wtf?

You have to press S in the same direction that your opponent is attacking from.

I tried Simple Mode to see how it is, and I honestly cant see why anyone would use it. I guess it might be an attractive option for those who have never touched a fighter, but the thing is lame and I didnt feel as if I was playing the game, just mashing buttons with random things happening on screen.

The one place where MvC3 trumps SFIV in terms of Extras is the Gallery. There is TONS of content there and Im surprised they gave us access to all that stuff.

Playing this game did inspire me to play SSFIV again and this is so lacking in terms of the online modes as well. Any word on a patch to bring more stuff? Team Battle, Tournament and a Replay Channel would all be welcome additions here.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I heard they were bringing a spectator mode to online and then there's shadow mode that's coming next month. Hopefully they patch in a tourny mode. It seems capcom was on a very tight schedule, which explains the limited features and the fact Jill and shuma are on the disc in an unfinished state
