Marvel v Capcom 3 discussion

Akuma (and in the same respect, Seth) is far from broken in SSF4. Phoenix, with her healing and keepaway, has the potential to be broken, which is why they gave her such low health. That pretty much does mean she's balanced.

I am not talking about SS4 Akuma.

No it doesn't really mean she is balanced. If her keepaway game is godly enough her pitiful health won't end up mattering at all. Nu 13 had a similar low health/great zoning combination in Blazblue and she was a broken mess in the first game.

Again I am not saying this is the case with Phoenix. Having cons does not guarantee that a character will be balanced if their pros far outweigh their cons.

 

[TaiCrunch]

Low health/great zoning is much more balanced in MvC thanks to random assist spam and crazy specials. Which is great. All things considered I'm really looking forward to trying her out.

It was just a translation, so Niitsuma probably just meant "more diverse." I don't know why Keits didn't make that obvious in the title itself, but whatever.

yeah the whole purposely unbalanced thing stuck me as a bit odd, especially when it came after this article.

Please don't talk about the shitfest that was BBCT. Please.

It's Marvel, the fuck do you expect? Balance? The game won't be a Marvel game if some shit doesn't end up ridiculously broken and fun.

broken wesker, calling it right now

First Shuma images, I can't wait to see this guy in action.

 

[TaiCrunch]

sweet, chaos dimension!

 

[Neptune]

Forgot to post this one, it's a close up of the chaos dimension image. Jill is trapped inside Shuma.

I have a feeling she's gonna play like Cammy from Street Fighter.

Edit: 19 official images by Capcom, Shuma is looking absolutely gorgeous. I can all but guarantee the trailers will be out tomorrow, they're always out like 4 hours after the pictures.

Is the Shoryuken wiki broken?

 

[TaiCrunch]

some of you probably already know, but GameStop is offering a 25% trade-in bonus if you put it toward MvC3 or Killzone 3.

 

[zenzen~]

SRK is having server problems a la when SF4 came out. It's getting really annoying.

I'm very late on this, but I find it awesome that Viper can feint her TKs after she hits them. Maybe it'll compensate for the fact that TKs don't seem very good in Marvel?

 

[tape]

MvC? UNBALANCED?

WHAT AN OUTRAGEOUS THOUGHT.

"Shadow Mode" has been revealed as future DLC, it's pretty interesting but I don't think I'd buy it, I'll just stick to online myself.

http://uk.gamespot.com/special_feature/most-anticipated-2011/day-4/index.html?page=3

Today, we're revealing Marvel vs. Capcom 3's Shadow Mode, which you can see in the screenshots above. Shadow Mode is downloadable content that will let you face off against a team of AI opponents modeled after the habits and tendencies of Capcom's development staff and, according to Capcom, famous players from the fighting game scene. The first Shadow Mode pack will include teams and AI from three Capcom staff members, including producer Ryota Niitsuma, associate producer Akihito Kadowaki, and a QA tester. Additionally, the first pack is scheduled for release in March with more packs becoming available for download at a later date. If you ever wanted to say you beat the producer of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 at his own game, this is your best shot.

 

[TaiCrunch]

paying extra money to get my ass completely handed to me by a Justin Wong robot? no thanks, i'll think i'll stick to being mediocre online.

 

[TaiCrunch]

bump

galactus looks fucking SICK.

[Steelicks]

So excited, wow. It's a combo video from someone who got the game early I guess. That first Dante combo just made me weep man tears.

 

[TaiCrunch]

wow, it's good to finally see somebody doing more than the one Dante combo we've been seeing. and Wesker looks ridiculous in the corner. i'll definitely be using him.

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

IGN has an unboxing video of the CE here

 

[zenzen~]

The cases look sick. Even better bonus to my CE purchase.

 

[Steelicks]

i found this to be interesting... the character (supposed) stamina rankings

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/feb/07/health-stamina-rankings-marvel-vs-capcom-3/

i know they wanted to balance the phoenix/dark phoenix thing, but come on! if this is accurate, Sentinel has more than THREE TIMES her health!

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

Just watching some of the gameplay vids with Phoenix, she pretty much dies in 1 combo lol. That healing thing better be imba as fuck.
