[quote name='noobeffect']The guide is just full of details. So much detail that it's going to overwhleming for someone who is new to fighters but even the writers of the guide acknowledge that with the all too familiar advice of practice, practice, practice. I personally just sent out my guide to Amazon for a trade-in because Marvel 3 just received a balance patch on 03/22 and players are still trying to figure out everything that got changed. To me, that makes the guide outdated. Objectively speaking, the majority of the information isn't outdated but I don't like going into a guide having to remind myself what information still applies to the game and what got changed by the developers.[/QUOTE]
I see your point, but if you look at the details of the patch, you will find that there is not much that will make the guide outdated.
My main problems with the guide, especially as a fighting game noob, is it's complexity (as explained ad nauseum on here) and the fact that guides just don't lend themselves to videogames that well in the era of internet videos. There are tons of combos in there that I try endlessly (and fail to complete) only to watch a quick video and get it no problem.
