Marvel vs. Capcom 3

[Jick]

Me too, but there are so few of them. I usually fight Fighter and 9th/8th Lords.

I still need the trophy for battling MODOK using Captain America or vice-versa. It seems no one chooses MODOK.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I love Deadpool, he's just become too cuddly and mass audience friendly. Thats exactly what happened to Wolverine. They take a dark, edgy character and make them marketable for everyone.

Deadpool while still being insanely funny hasn't really been poignant as a character since the Joe Kelly days.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I disagree, the short lived Cable and Deadpool run had some really great, deep character moments.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Yeah I just remembered that as soon as I had posted, jeez that feels like AGES ago.

 

[Jick]

Cable and Deadpool was great, indeed.
Don't feel the same with his ongoing stories.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Well thats what i mean, they've just gone crazy with Deadpool to the point where I feel they've lost his character. I mean, has anyone read Deadpool corp.? yeeeech!

 

[Jick]

I didn't get to read it. Last thing I read was that series where he was taking care of a DP zombie head.

It'd be nice to pair Cable and Deadpool in the game, or maybe see the exchange of words between them.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, Deadpool Corp. is Deadpool, Lady Pool, Kiddy Pool, Dogpool and Headpool. It's ridiculous and gratuitous

You guys want easy wins?

Put Sentinel as your point, Doom as your first partner with Hidden Missles and Hulk as your second point with Gamma Charge.

Mash O from max distance and sentinel just keeps shooting the fastest traveling shortest animation beam in the game. Mash L1 to keep Doom spamming his ******ed "you cant get away from these once they come out" Hidden Missles, and laugh as you get a 50 win streak without even trying.

No, seriously.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

It's people like you who actually make me regret buying this game.

No, seriously.

A part of me wants to actually do this just to get my 5 win streak. The other part of me hates myself because I'm even thinking about doing this.

In actuality, someone did this exact tactic to me last night.

Its people like him that are easy wins. Any 'spam' move like that can always be bested by a skilled player.

 

[SouLeSS]

You're just salty that someone did this to you and completely and totally obliterated you.

If the top pros in the world do stupid cheezy **** like this, why can't everyone else? I was watching some of the highest MvC2 personalities play MvC3 on some stream the other night and literally every other person has doom spamming hidden missles with their point character staying at max range spamming the same beam or shot attacks over and over.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I don't care if pros do it, it quite simply sucks all the fun out of it.

 

[SouLeSS]

For the person losing, sure. But it's not like it's fool proof and it's not like you can't stop it. You just simply...aren't good enough.

 

[Jick]

That simply is not fighting. It doesn't show a bit of skill. It's just spamming.
I faced many Sentinel users like that. Defeated some, some I didn't. They just keep Sentinel in a corner and spam his beam using assists.

That's the second thing I hate the most after pull plugers.

 

[Brainiac 8]

I don't care if pros do it, it quite simply sucks all the fun out of it.

Yes it does....it's spammy stupidity like this that makes me glad that I primarily play player matches with people I know. I pretty much hate ranked games and/or players.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

No, I mean using that tactic sucks the fun out of it. Pat's right, it is easy to overcome, it just makes it a totally skilless match.

First of all, you have one chump using it on you, you switch tactics to overcome it like blocking and using an aerial character to make ground on them, but once you break their tactic they suck. There is no challenge at all, essentially the other player isn't really playing the game, they're button mashing one button. You know who else does that? The AI in training mode. It defeats the whole purpose of having player vs player matches. It's not an opponent who is adapting to different attacks and play styles, theres no skill to it.

Secondly, if you use that tactic, you've essentially resigned yourself to the fact that winning is more important to you than actually enjoying the gameplay, and thats just not me. I don't play games just to win, because that doesn't give me fulfillment in life unless it's something I feel like I earned.

But you're right, I probably just suck. It's not like I have a reasoned and well thought out argument.

 

[Jick]

I agree with that.
Once, a player whooped my ass with Zero using combos after combos and assists so I couldn't touch him. That's skill.
Spamming is not.

lulz, spoken like someone who is terrible at the game.

You assume that just cause they're spamming one move that they suck. Quite the opposite in a lot of cases, as it's actually one of the most effective things you can do in the game. If you're playing something like WoW you're not using your lvl 1 spells at lvl 80, you're using your lvl 80 spells at 80 cause it's the most effective way of getting things done. But nevermind all that. I'd love to see you against this dude and go "haha all I have to do is break the combo of beams!" only to realize that Sentinels X has just about the longest range in the game and 1 ariel character combo between Sent/Hulk is enough to take even the highest HP character in the game down to about 50%.

You can put all the words you want behind it, it doesn't change the fact that some people play to win, some people play to have fun. Having fun for me, and a lot others, just happens to come when you win as opposed to getting your ass kicked. So us spamming these cheap tactics is fun for us, and that's the objective, right?

Besides, it's not like I couldn't pick an actual team and wipe the floor with 90% of the people I've come across. Jesus the amount of scrubs in this game is staggering.

lol spamming ain't skillllzzzzzz

 

[Brainiac 8]

I know that using Ammy and her keep away whip of death gets me quite a bit of hate mail.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

If youre spamming moves and winning, its because you haven't played some one who has a decent amount of skill and knowledge of the game.

 

[SouLeSS]

lol spamming ain't skillllzzzzzz

No, it's not, but being able to chain any character down from 100% to ~10% if not dead with Sent/Doom/Hulk is. Which is what generally happens once someone busts through the spam hidden missles block and O.
