The Official Marvel vs Capcom 3 Thread

this game is dope so far. Just got it today. Playin practice mode right now and just found out a bad ass combo by Dante. Man this game looks good.
 
I wasn't gonna pick this up so soon, but I had a rough week with family stuff so I decided to treat myself. This game's freakin' amazing. You can see the Tatsunoko vs Capcom influence, and I like how it's accessible to all levels of fighting game fanatics. MvC2 was great of course, but I felt like I needed to take graduate courses in Fightology to fully appreciate it.

Galactus is pretty much what a boss should be, hard enough to pose a challenge that requires an actual gameplan but not impossible to beat like some SNK type bosses. However, I did set it on very easy at first so I could grind through quickly to unlock all the hidden characters. Jade may think I'm a weenie but I'm not ashamed to admit it!

I just hope Capcom invests their DLC in useful things like extra characters and not 400 MS points to get a different color headband for Ryu's fourth alternate outfit.
 
Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate MvC3 and it's predecessors. And bare with me I only played MvC2 like twice. The times I did play it, I played it against my cousin and all he did was spam the "Tag-In" moves (He's not big on actually playing the game, just messing around) and he still some how beat me. I'm not saying I'm a God at Street Fighter or any fighting game in general, but how can someone who knows what they're doing somewhat be defeated by someone who's just spamming R1 or R2 (I can't remember). Am I missing something here? I want to get into fighters more, but I don't wanna game that can be won using "cheap" tactics like that. Plus it looks insanely fast from gameplay I've seen. UMK3 I can take, this shit has flashes of color everywhere distracting my eyes every second haha.

You all are right about this game allowing the newer player to jump right in and play fairly effecient however you all are also missing the depth and strategy that is in it. This is a loooong video but it will give you more insight as to how much actual depth Capcom has put into it. There are other vids that give great examples like this but this one is one of the better ones out right now.

You need to stop dismissing this as a total noob game there are a ton of layers still yet to be peeled back that will continue to seperate the skill levels between players.

 
I was gonna wait to get MvC3 so Capcom could work out a few of the bugs first...BUT class was cancelled because of snow again and I got bored and picked it up.

Anyway, that game is too much fun. I haven't played much online yet...I ran through Arcade Mode a couple of times and otherwise I've been playing Training Mode trying to get a feel for the characters and build a team. I've probably played about half the cast so far...I like almost everyone I've played. Not a huge fan of Arthur or Viewtiful Joe, though; and I was disappointed by Deadpool. I was surprised by MODOK, too. I thought he'd be kind of useless, but he isn't bad.
 
What about the Akuma infinite on SRK???

There are a few more like this with other characters which are out there, I dont see them being much of an issue the timing needs to be spot on (latency under @20ms is my educated guess) and most the time thats not going to happen online.

I thought the samething about Deadpool until I spent a bit more time with him, he is deeper then I thought he would be.
 
Apparently, Phoenix Wright is going to be a DLC in March.

Anyways, played online last night and what a bunch of cheap players. I like to play SERIOUS play, not some cheap mofo who just stands at the other end of the screen and keeps shooting the same shit again and again. One match, I literally had to just stand there and block 99% of the time, it was so boring.

Should be a rule that if people suck so much they can't fight a real fight, they get banned from online play.

New team I have stuck with most of the night is Sentinal, Super-Skrull and Iron Man.
 
I know but they weren't just shooting from the ground, it was back and forth between air and ground so if I jumped, I would get hit, and if I stayed down, I would get hit. I already tried it. It does not work well when you have a Sentinel shooting massive amounts of missiles.

I did get a few great players, though! I lost by a hair, I won by a hair, great challenges. I totally dominated this one guy in about a minute and even that isn't very fun to me....I like a good, close battle.

Not gonna lie, though, I killed a few people's 4 game winning streaks and it felt great, especially if they were going for the 5 streak trophy, ha.

It is ridiculous and frustrating having them spam projectiles. For example when I am Haggar and they are Dante and just lock me in the corner. I want to do a 72 hit combo on them in real life.

Team 1: Captain America, Hsien-Ko, Amaterasu
Team 2: Haggar, Viewtiful Joe, Arthur * (Arthur is BEAST, + this is my favorite team)
Team 3: Felicia, Super-skrull, Ryu (Need to fix this team)

Love playing as Team Darkstalkers (Felicia, Hsien-Ko, and Morrigan)
and my team of Evil (Dormammu, Akuma, and Wesker)

But hands down favorite character is Arthur.
