Marvel vs Capcom 3

[Mr. Spencer]

I'd also like to see Omega Red, as he was on my team in MvC2.

...His bionic arm is his WIFE! Seriously!?

I would like to see more Darkstalkers Characters like Jon-Talbain, Demitri,
Jedah, etc...Scratch that...BRING ON Darkstalkers 4 Ono!

-I'm beginning to wonder if Spencer's actually this guy:



-I'd love to see Rikuo if just for his "Green Scream" Darkstalkers 3 music. Sure, the dopes at Capcom would just remix the life out of it, but it always fits so perfectly in the late 90s Capcom PS1 library. You may as well be playing Breath of Fire III or something. Nonetheless, YES, let's see Darkstalkers 4, hopefully the inclusion of three series characters is testing the waters.

-As for the DLC, I think I'll just wait until we have 5 or more characters and they charge 15-20 bucks for the total package. My friend tried to give me one of his Collector's Edition downloads but because it was on a different system the DLC wouldn't load.

[Mr. Spencer]

Also, apologies Guardhouse for jumping your post here but speaking of Spencer's bionic arm, it's amusing how what they attempted to do was something similar to Evangelion, with souls inside machines. Admittedly, Bionic Commando did it in a less than eloquent manner.

The Strider/Frank screenshot is an old fake.

How is Jill Valentine when it comes to going against other characters? Balanced? Any effective team combos with her? I've not paid much attention to her DLC counterpart and just wondering if it's worth buying now or just waiting for the price to drop and get her later.

[Dracarys]

She seems good for breaking turtlers, mixing low, high and overhead attacks fast plus can dash behind an opponent mid combo to mess the blocking up, plus even if you don't get past the block she can keep hitting and often hit them first when they go to counter.

Her assists seem crap to me though, not the sort of assists that should realy be landing against an aware opponent.

[Carnivol]

We only got the steelbooks here for the pre-orders/special editions. No codes for the character DLC. Sadly.

Either way, probably gonna grab stuff at the end of this month (along with all 3 XBLA releases on the 30th, the Mass Effect 2 DLC on the 29th, the Lords of Shadow DLC and so forth)

I would have rather seen the original orange-haired Bionic Commando, I never
liked him and the game's story Spencer is in where he's in.

Again...
Spoiler:

they never say "Arm == Wife". They only say that bionic limbs needs a "catalyst" to not potentially mess up their users. The catalysts were presented as being someone preferably related and/or close to the person getting equipped with bionics. Typical comic book stuff that never really needed to be elaborated further on, leaving the possibilities many. Super Joe drops a few "hints" whilst he's pretty much just pissing Spencer off at the end of the game, but whether or not you can really trust him at this point... who knows, but even he's just being plain vague at that point. Either way, while their actual use has yet to be elaborated on, named catalysts were mentioned in the profile screens for both Mag and RAD in the final area of the game and in BC:R2 (which is set before the purge) Spoiler:

they show how characters using limbs not intended for themselves clearly go nuts (as they also say in BC) - this on a larger scale than what Groeder did. Iirc, in BC:R1, Groeder's arm was done w/out a proper catalyst at all.

...but I bet Capcom wouldn't hesitate to release, yet another Costume DLC to
appease to fans and milk on it.

If Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV is anything to go by; There shall be costumes! Lots of them! (Although I didn't mind the RADical redesigns, I'd still pay good money for even a pack just containing Shinkiro's classic (re)design seen at the end of one of the BC:R trailers)

Well, I got both DLC characters free* with my code from the Special Edition, but I've got to say that - much like with a majority of the rest of the roster - I am unimpressed. Jill is just not fun to play with (just like in MvC2!), and Shuma Gorath, while having a bit more potential than Ms. Valentine, is just another "WTF?" character taking up the roster spot of a better Marvel character. I really don't understand many of the choices for characters in this game, lol. Oh well. It's still a blast to play...although even just a week away from it makes me feel rusty.

I don't know how many more characters will be added, but I'd really like to see Cyclops make a return. Then my "Team America" triumvirate will be complete.

As of right now, I still believe that MvC2 > MvC3. The new roster is less appealing (not because of less characters but because of "personality"). And the "dumbed-down" control scheme is infuriating.

*Haha, what a crock of shit.

[Mr. Spencer]

At least Doom granted the game an audience.

I was pretty much used to the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom's control scheme which is pretty similar, so I had no issue there.

I still like MvC3 more than MvC2 for the sake of gameplay all on its own and it seems to keep a better balance with the
less character roster it has and less recycled characters and no joke characters.

I feel the same way with Super Smash Bros. Brawl when compared to Melee,
which Melee had a big problem with character balance...most battles were
one-sided and most people just went ahead and picked Fox, Fox #2, Marth,
Marth #2, Captain Falcon, etc.

I was happy that some of the characters got nerfed and some got improved
upon, also let's not forget that the clone characters finally got original
movesets.

...The only gripe I have about MvC3 is its lack of modes and a spectator
mode is needed to keep lobby waiting interesting. Also, what happened to
the ability of playin your own custom music while playing? MvC2 (PS3) and
S/SFIV (PS3) had it.

Overall, MvC3 seems like it was a rushed product but at least from my POV
the core gameplay which is what matters for me the most was not rushed
to say the least.

[Jill4EverSTARS]

Besides spectator mode this game does have a lot to offer depending on how you look at things you have you ranked matches your endless battles ranked matches etc the only primary fighting game modes its missing is time attack and survival

[Dracarys]

Sentinel got nerfed, and buffed.


His health was 1,300,000, is now 900,000. Couples of specials got a slight damage buff.


Insert a 'Sentinel got NEUTRALISE' joke somehere.

[Mr. Spencer]

Christ, even Iron Man has more health than Sentinel.

[Jill4EverSTARS]
