When you look at characters like Ghost Rider, and Iron Fist, and Black Panther, those are great characters but it's the backstory that makes them. From a gameplay point of view they're all just punchy dudes. We didn't want you to be able to say, 'this guy is just another one of this guy but a little faster or with a different fireball'. So that was the final pass" that Capcom took off the Marvel list.

Seriously Seth?

[Specter313]

Ghost Rider is just a "punchy dude"?

 

[Nathan]

Just like Black Panther apparently. Someone who uses daggers, staffs and a sword.

They need to stop with these ****ty excuses already.

Those excuses Killian gave are paper thin.

I've never understood the appeal of arcade sticks. Mostly because I suck at playing games in the arcade style set up.

 

[Nathan]

I've rarely ever played arcades, so I'm not really missing out on this revelation of arcade sticks.

 

[louiebling$]

i rarely do too but i occasionally stil play at arcades evry now and then since there is one down the street

 

[Sparta*]

i cant use a joystick for fighting games, on the controller or on a fightstick, just doesnt work for me I need the precision of the dpad

After like five times being told to go to the MVC3, i've finally found the unlocked thread.


I am soooooOOoooOo hyped for this game.

Ororo Munroe is equal to complete awesomeness!",)

Those excuses Killian gave are paper thin.

Especially when you consider we got Akuma after Ryu, X-23 after Wolverine, and She-Hulk after Hulk. I mean common. CAPCOM needs a better spin machine.

Especially when you consider we got Akuma after Ryu, X-23 after Wolverine, and She-Hulk after Hulk. I mean common. CAPCOM needs a better spin machine.

X-23, Akuma, and She-Hulk have almost zero in common with Ryu, Wolverine, and Hulk.

 

[WolfCypher]

Oh, really now. To say Akuma and Ryu have almost zero in common...that's a huge stretch.

They even look like variations of each other.

 

[Jick]

X-23, Akuma, and She-Hulk have almost zero in common with Ryu, Wolverine, and Hulk.

I think that's exaggerating.
They're not completely different, either.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I'll give you Akuma but the two ladies play COMPLETELY different from their male counterparts. People who makes comments like that obviously haven't watched gameplay videos of She Hulk and X-23.

She Hulk is speedier than Hulk, more agile and uses mostly kicks and dives to fight.

X-23 is stealthy, fast, and plays more like an assassin with claws and has plenty of kicks and flips in her arsenal.

 

[Jick]

Wolverine is also fast, agile and the attacks are based on the claws. I think he feels slightly more agressive than X-23, while she looks more stylish. They play diferently, but feel alike. At least from watching the videos.

I won't truly know until a take the controll and play.

[Jennifer Walters]

Does Wolverine flip, kick or snap people's necks in his attacks? Does Wolverine leap off the screen and come back like a god damn ninja to finish off his opponent? No. The only thing Wolverine and X-23 have in common other than DnA since storyline wise she's his clone is the god damn metal claws.

 

[WolfCypher]

But the epitome of meter-burning pyrotechnics is the Level 3 Hyper Combo. "Everyone had a Level 3 initially," Niitsuma says, "but because we wanted to continue the tradition of a purposely unbalanced roster, we intentionally left a few characters out. They don't all have an over-the-top style, and for these characters, we balanced it out by adding in something else."

I don't quite understand...he first says "some characters don't have blah blah to purposely keep things unbalanced", then says "...but they do have something to keep things balanced".

So...balanced or not?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I think it's like the Sentinel thing again. Some people have said it's been mistranslated in some areas.

 

[Jick]

While Wolverine's attacks don't revolve around kicks as much as X-23, he still kicks. While he doesn't flip, he spins. But no one is saying Wolverine has the same combos and attacks than X-23. He doesn't.

Like I said in my previous post, they play differently, but feel alike. It's not like they have almost zero in common with each other.
