So are we playing BBCS2 for sure this week? I know there was some interest expressed by TooLate during EVO & some talk last week. I'd be down, I wouldn't mind a little break from Capcom fighters.....


































.....unless anyone wants to play HDR

I'm too clueless for anything but SF4. Gona have to study MK/BB/MVC/3S for a couple years then I'll get back to you dudes.

You're only going to improve by playing better players. Pretty much everyone that plays gives tips & advice anyways. Guardian consistently bodied me at Marvel but I learned a lot. I'm still not there yet but I can at least hold my own. Besides - I think most of the people who would want to play are in about the same boat as you. Guardian, Shinobi, & I were the only ones that really played the game anyways & I know we're all very out of practice.

Some interesting information. Taken from NeoGAF.

TOP 8


* Phoenix - 3
* Wesker - 3
* Wolverine - 3
* Akuma - 2
* Dante - 2
* Magneto - 2
* She Hulk - 2
* Taskmaster - 2
* Amaterasu - 1
* Dormammu - 1
* Haggar - 1
* Sentinel - 1
* Spencer - 1
* Tron - 1
* Storm - 1

FUN FACTS:

*In the top 8, only 2 teams featured no Wolverine or Phoenix. They were X Ray's Dante/Ammy/Magneto and Combofiend's She Hulk/Taskmaster/Spencer. There were 3 Wolverine teams and 3 Phoenix teams.

*Phoenix was heavy in top 32 but a lot of the Phoenix players were eliminated by top 8. More so, by the time Grand Finals rolled around only 1 Phoenix player stood among the rest (Viscant).

*NO C VIPER OR TRISH PLAYERS IN TOP 32!!! Despite being agreed by most to be Upper Mid/High tier characters.

*RyRy was the only person who attempted to use Spider Man for his anti-Phoenix technology. He was not successful.

*While there were 5 Zero players in Top 32, NO Zero player made it into top 8. Further more, Sentinel players were 9 in top 32 and only 1 in Top 8 (Filipino Champ).

*Best conversion rate from top 32 to top 8 goes to Dormammu. 1 in top 32 and 1 in top 8 for 100% conversion. She Hulk and Spencer are next with 50% conversion. Only 1 player was using Dormammu in the entirety of top 32/top 8 - Filipino Champ.

*Most used assist was Akuma's Tatsu by a considerable margin.

*24 different characters were used in top 32. If all of EVO was taken into consideration, every character was played at least once on stream except Arthur. For top 8 15 different characters were used out of a possible 24 (because 8 players mean that at best we can only have 24 different characters used with maximum character variety).

*Top 5 most popular characters were: Wolverine, Wesker, Akuma, Sentinel and Magneto. All at 9 appearances in top 32.

Ha! Akuma was most used assit!...I still like Akuma, and all of you can suuuuuck it. I dont care if he is a crutch...he is awesome, even without X-factor.

Nice to see Felicia in the mix, although I'm more surprised Morrigan was excluded, she's a really well rounded character and her Meter and Shadow blade assist are good.


WESKER!!

-A noob walks into a saloon-

Hey guys... I just got MVC3 yesterday (Holy Hard) and I have been trying to do the missions.

Mission 1. I do the move and nothing happens. Over and over... with different characters. Nothing.

I watched some videos and theirs are all passing with no problems.

Do you have to be standing still and do it perfectly? Im so lost on this!

It might help to know what characters/move you're trying to use. The move has to hit the dummy. Also, you have to do the correct corresponding strength version of the move (some moves can be done with different buttons, resulting in a stronger, or farther reaching version).

Well, Akuma won't be quite as much of an issue when Ultimate rolls around. It's fine to use him if he fits your playstyle, but people tend to rely on him. That really just makes him a big target... especially if someone gets predictable.

Morrigan lacks the damage output and mixup potential to be top tier. She's also a huge meter hog, and not a very good battery. She works well in certain teams (I think she works well in mine), but her unquenchable thirst for meter to do consistent damage is really an issue. She should be better in Ultimate.

I want to point out that Taskmaster was in 6 teams of Top 32 and 2 teams of Top 8. And he got nothing but buffs. Wtf?


Also, I'm okay with BBCS2 this week. It don't really have a preference, we can play anything.

Relius Clover.

Damn, just what we need. Another character with a puppet.

GGs last night to BIB, Guardian, Joe, & Kensei. Joe & Kensei, you guys missed out on BBCS. Especially the lulz that is Unlimited Tager vs Unlimited Tager.

Kensei - I need to figure out a way around that Viper setup. That shit is annoying as hell, lol.

I can't wait for UMVC3, lack of spectator mode is killing me.

EDIT: Two more weeks until 3rd Strike!

See, they've always been BFF....

New characters in trailer!

Nemesis seems like such a scary character to be fighting against, he has such powerful moves and im seeing some super armor charges and supers, anyone that's familiar with the RE series want to clue me in on his level 3? he seems to turn into a giant squid?

I was unsure of Doc Strange, but he seems to be a more mobile, trickier version Magneto. Both of these characters seem to have TONS of potential!

Dr. Strange has a Projectile Counter Hyper. That is absolutely huge if it has invincible start-up. The videos only show it working on Projectile Hypers, but if it works on general projectiles, then it shuts down all chip attempts. Previously safe DHCs are no longer safe. And you can't whiff punish with a projectile Hyper if someone has Dr. Strange in the second slot. Pretty awesome stuff.

Nemesis's Super Armor Hyper looks ridiculous. Straight through a Kikoshou for 1 Lvl? I think this guy is the new Juggernaut. This, coupled with Strange's Anti Projectile Counter, shows a lot of anti-zoning movesets/strategies.

Hahah, nice.

In light of the impending Vergil reveal, I went ahead and made a clear video showing Vergil's basic moveset in DMC3:SE to give people an idea of how he might play:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPbDPgOnh84

I figured it might help, since combo videos generally consist of fragmented and canceled animation... and with all the jump canceling it's difficult to discern certain moves. And this video's in higher def since it's taken from the PC version.

The only thing I could not get was Nelo Angelo Devil Trigger. I haven't unlocked that costume for Vergil on the PC version, and I can't find a save online that would give me access to him.

What did you use to edit video. Was it expensive. If you use compression does it compress on the fly or after you've done recording. What do you use to compress the raw video to save HDD space and then edit later. What does the 2N at the end of RAM timings mean.

GGs last night to Guardian, joe, & Gouki. The matches were close. Sorry I didn't stick around for long.

Also I feel like a dummy having my mic muted the entire time. No wonder nobody was really saying anything back to me .

I will definitely be in there next week for 3rd Strike. I'm really looking forward to it!

EDIT: Also, this makes me really happy:

I miss Juggernaut. If anything I just liked looking at his comically oversized hands/self. Nemesis appears to be a fun replacement though.
