New extra mode, sounds kinda fun and similar to the gem system in Street Fighter x Tekken, but more over the top. The real cool part as you can see in the video is the parrying. Wonder how hard that'll be in a fast paced game. Glad it's afree extra mode and not a forced new mechanic.

Can't wait for task/hawkeye/nova. Nova has an aegis reflector that stops projectiles and bounces people back, gonna help zoning. One more month

The new trailer is also totally badass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... vcSdxyvtMY

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD TALK ABOUT MARVEL WITH ME

taskmaster nerfs make me cry

Still gonna use him, just gotta figure out some good assist characters... like this

[Merk]

Doom is going to run train on you all.

[Riot]

Yeah I started to learn him in preparation for ultimate if I dont jive with other characters. I can do his bnb and triple corner relaunch stuff but he still feels clunky to me. especially with slowed down air dashes... Task/hawkeye/doom is a backup if I dont dig nova, vergil, nemesis, ghost rider or iron fist. Dunno about wesker yet either, and akuma might still be a good anchor with air x factor to punish assists and chip

Hehe yeah, someone did that quicksilver glitch to chris g last weekend during the tournament match. If you team super you can get out. Pretty cwazy.

[Riot]

Rumor has it there is a certain maverick hunter waiting to surprise people in umvc3. YOU CAN HAF MAH AHM CANNON BRAHTHA

[Merk]

Megaman was literally the Arther of MvC2 I have no idea why people want him in the game so bad but whatever anime.

[Riot]

Omg totally using Rocket Raccoon.

[Merk]

I am going to play whatever team ends up being the most broken just so I can beat Riot with ease and drink his pubbie tears.

[Riot]

I hope so! After watching RR's walkthroughs, he seems pretty tough to play effectively. We'll see! I'll still probably try some variation on Task/Hawkeye/Doom, Task/Hawkeye/Nova, or Vergil/Task/Hawkeye. I've played Doom for a little bit and can do all his bnbs reliably including his corner relaunch x 3 times. We'll see if he will be as stupid good as the changelog makes him seem. Maybe Rocket Raccoon/Hawkeye/Taskmaster will be good though for setting up annoying traps and lockdown. Two weeks can't come soon enough.

[Merk]

Since we're on the same game engine I strongly believe the best team is going to be whatever team can do 4-5 fast-as-fuck mixups that each result in a touch of death and a 50/50 on the incoming character. Teleports are still going to be strong as hell and characters that can hop on the other side of the point character or do a fast high-low mixup are going to be good too.

Dark Phoenix is probably going to be relegated to a scrub killer since you can exchange-meter-drain now but even then that has a solid 50% chance of failing.

I have little faith that zoning is actually going to be good. It will be better than it was in vanilla but that really doesn't mean much since zoning characters were literally the worst. But don't take my word for it I am bad at this game and a pessimist.

Tiers going to be:

Doom
Strange
Teleporters with good/fast normals (Wesker, Strider, etc)
Hoppers (X-23, Captain America, whoever else)

Everyone else

Firebrand
Tron
Haggar
MODOK
Jill
Anyone else without a viable gimmick

[Riot]

Yeah, teleports and mixups are still going to be the name of the game, BUT the change to air-dashing (you now cannot block) means zoning will be a lot easier, along with nerfs to many characters' tricky teleport options (Wesker's gun > teleport > combo is gone, Wolverine's cross up tele is gone, etc.). I still think Vergil's teleports will be good for mixups, and Strange's are so fast it's nearly impossible to punish. Phoenix got nerfed so many ways, and the fact that meter gain overall is down, there are things like Strange's projectile counter and other meter stealing moves, I don't think she will be played very much.

I see success in keepaway, and maybe Storm will be good with her repelling wind moves. Still thinking maybe Storm/Task/Hawkeye as well. Man, the problem is there are dozens of characters that look great now. Even Captain America looks awesome.

[Merk]

Yeah, but we all thought the same thing with vanilla and how awesome and deep the game would be because everyone seemed viable but then people found out how to abuse x-factor, Wolverine/xxxx/Phoenix happened, and then everything went to shit. Phoenix getting nerfed is probably the best thing to happen to high-level play and it leaves the room for more varied and viable teams but I am so SO worried that something is just going to take Phoenix's place.

[Riot]

I honestly think that RR's log bounce assist is going to be bonkers. It's so fast, covers all jump-ins, and wallbounces for easy combos. Phoenix Wright with his Maya barrier + RR log assist makes a practically impenetrable wall.

Wesker also got nerfed a lot less than people were expecting, so I may still try to use him a bit. Ugh, I don't know. Too many awesome looking choices, I hate that. If I come to the thing on the 19th which is the weekend this game comes out will you guys play the shit out of this with me??????? (((((((((((((
