Marvel vs. Capcom 3 discussion thread

[quote name='Jimbo Slice']Are you serious? MvC2 is literally one of the easiest games I've ever played, I could beat it blind-folded.
[/QUOTE]

MvC2's arcade mode is pretty tough to several people I know. Congrats on being good though, and hyperbole is always nice. I own this shirt, after all:

On the other hand, King Broly is always saying everything is hard, but I mostly agree with him on this point.

Care to make a friendly wager that it isn't hyperbole? :D
 
I have to admit, I was only mildly interested in this game, mostly because of the lack of Phoenix Wright. But now that Hsien-Ko is in there, time to pre-order!

Hey, I wouldn't say it's impossible, but I'm sure you'd have to learn a very specific strategy to even do that.

I don't think Mega Man games are hard.
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']I hate character unlocks. Colors / costumes / artwork etc... is totally fine and appreciated.[/QUOTE]
character unlocks are fine. shin akuma unlocks are not
 
I hate unlocks period. They get in the way of me trying to enjoy the game. Why should I have to work to fully enjoy the game?
 
There's an article on Shacknews I think that is getting linked around implying that Sentinel & Hsien-Ko are both "secret" character, which probably means they need to be unlocked. I really hope this isn't true.
 
I for one love unlocks, provided they are doable. Anyone remember the Krypt from Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance? Sooooo much stuff to unlock. There were tons of stages, characters, artwork, concept art, trailers, etc. Really gives incentive to keep playing. However, they did it right in that you got tokens for pretty much everything you did, and could spend them on unlocks (ala MVC2's store).

I hate unlocks like "beat on impossible difficulty without losing a single round, perfecting at least half of them, to unlock a character"...

Its not hyperbole, you can lock down the cpu with trons rock throw assist and just do 1 chip move and time them out.




Or just play cable sent commando blindfolded.

I'm the opposite, I love unlocking stuff (as long as it's not too ridiculous) It's gives the single player a little more meat. I hate it when games have everything unlocked from the get go.

There are unlockable characters in this game, but not involving the same nauseating tedium of MvC2.

Sentinel, Hsien-ko, Akuma, and Taskmaster are all slated to be unlockable characters, having to purchase them with points accrued through normal play. From what I understand, the requirements aren't very high... you need 8000 points to unlock Taskmaster, and you get a few thousand points per run of the arcade mode.
 
^ Sounds like what they did in TvC. I'm cool with that. I'm going to take an educated guess and say character costumes/colors will be unlocked in a similar fashion. This will give me a reason to keep playing after I get tired of getting my butt kicked online.

Haha this was my plan if he took me up on the friendly wager. Mini-sentinels / corridor spamming and just staying back with Cable and viper beaming / AHVB
 
1) What system will most CAGs be playing this on?

2) No Legomen? Even though you couldn't win with those guys, it was a lot of fun running around choppin' onions and shit, and then watching Sentinel kick them the fuck across the screen.

(Yes I know they are Servbots.)
 
360 for me.
I wish the Servbots were back, but I'm not even holding my breath for them as DLC.

Well, these are the 360 forums. :p So I'm guessing most people in here will be playing on the 360. We have a pretty active community. Also, the 360 version of the CE sold out faster than the PS3 version, if that's any indication of demand for the platform (though I'm well aware it's most likely not sold out for real).

Tron Bonne will still have Servbots at her command. :)


Post about the final boss being leaked. Don't read if you don't want spoilers!

Galactus leaked. His fight will consist of battling two heralds (silver versions of evil characters Wesker, Akuma, Dr. Doom, or Dormammu; one Capcom and one Marvel) at the same time, then fighting his giant form.

I plan on getting it for PS3, and only use this thread since it seems stupid for there to be two threads for one game that will be identical on two consoles. Really wish CAG would work something out to allow threads to exist in two subforums for cases like this.

Could see this game trending more towards 360 on CAG due to the entire 50% off coupon thing.

I'll miss the little servbot. Kinda hoping Capcom makes a "joke character" dlc pack featuring Servbot (Cap) and Squirrel Girl (Mar). Also hoping they make it free...cause paying to get the full roster in a fighting game sucks mightily.
 
That boss
has been rumored for months.
But it should be a cool fight regardless. I'm getting it on 360 because I have a Fight Stick. I'm also getting the SE because I believe they're going to charge crazy money for the DLC.

I fully expect Roll to be in this game. Roll's in every Versus game.

Well, yes. The entire roster's been rumored/leaked for months ;), but this is the first footage we've ever seen of it.
 
I am guessing it make more sense to make Mega Man and Frank West as DLC as no one would paid for Mike Haggar or Spencer DLC.
 
They could put up Anita as DLC and I'd buy it. I'll probably buy any DLC that comes out for this game. Hmmm. I'd even buy Aunt May.
 
Any idea whether there'll be some sort of lobby option like Endless Lobby or whatever it was for Street Fighter IV? Man, that'd be awesome.

I thought I'd read on Shoryuken that there would be 8 player lobbies, like in SSFIV.
 
Ahh...2 weeks away, I've been waiting for this game for 10 years but damn if these 2 weeks feel like the most of it
 
[quote name='Rodimus']Was the handicap tweaked at all cause she died in like 3 hits?[/QUOTE]

No, it's from the live stream that ran yesterday from the early retail copy... and I didn't see him mess with the handicaps.

Keep in mind that she took a heavy attack + a full Hyper (one of his more powerful ones in past iterations) from the Hulk (a character with close to the highest attack power in the game). So, it looks like she takes around 4X as much damage as (or has 1/4 the health of) a normal character? No one knows her offensive potential yet, except for a few guys who have leaked copies, but as far as the media goes we've seen little aside from standard Aerial Raves. I'm expecting great things.

If I had to guess I would say that she probably has about 40-45% of the health of a normal character, because I'm sure that shit is strong on just about anyone.

Edit: After re-watching and seeing how much damage just that starting fierce attack does, maybe she does only have like 25-35% of the health as a regular character. Nuts.
 
On that stream, there was another match where she gets taken out by like 2 Dante combos (about 6 minutes in on this video). Akuma is right after her & even HE isn't that bad. Granted it's against the CPU, but it at least gives you an idea of her health.

I think she's going to be similar to Seth where you're either going to either see insane rushdown or hit and run. She looks like she can zone, especially if she's in Dark mode. We'll have to wait and see.

Dante's no slouch though. With the "Marn" combo, he can take out a character in a single combo (using X Factor and 2 Hyper bars) or at least take out 60-70% (using a single Hyper bar). She's definitely going to be like Seth. Some strategies will probably revolve around Dark Phoenix, and utilizing her powered up assist. There's definitely a lot of experimentation to be had. I don't think we've touched the tip of the iceberg.

Seth (Killian) already confirmed that you can toggle Phoenix/Dark Phoenix in training so that it's easier to play around with it.

[quote name='NeuralFizz']Is that guy still streaming?[/QUOTE]

Everyone's waiting for another stream, but there hasn't been one since. Capcom may have asked the guy to stop making them.

Thanks. I've been trying to find one but haven't yet, so it's good to know I'm not just missing it.
 
Based on the placement we can assume there will be at least 2 more DLC. From the Cacpcom side it looks like it could be another darkstalker or someone from older capcom game. For Marvel side it could be another X Men or someone from Hulk universe

I doubt that the final selection screen is anything to go by, the Selection screen has been widened considerably since the game has been shown many many times...

Another darkstalkers character is also unlikely (although Jedah, Donavon, or J. Talbain) would be pretty kickass and elude to some sneaky plans for DS4 in the future. It could also be Amingo as a DLC add-on, since he was somewhat of a darkstalker inspired character along with Ruby heart from MVC2, it'd be a shame to see those characters abandoned.
