You can let Galactus kill the two "extra" characters on your team once you have him down to low health, then activate x-factor with the guy you want to beat it with and annihilate him.

I just don't know how to avoid that grab he does. The rest of his attacks are blockable, but that grab does massive damage.

It's back+Assist in TVC, iirc.

I don't particularly like holding the button either, but as I understand it, it's much better to tag your opponent in with a delayed hyper combo or a mid-air exchange anyway. Not sure how much of an issue it's going to be.

SSF4 was bad too, but at least you could QUICKLY pull up a list of games, get pings to each player, and attempt to join. And if you didn't want to do that, you could host a room and someone would join in 10 seconds.

MvC3 is like 10 steps backwards.

You experts think MVC3 would work better with a pad than most 2D fighters? I haven't tried MVC3 yet but it seems like you're only using 4 buttons most of the time so that the shoulder buttons can be used for tags, with two extra face buttons for combinations. I'm just not as consistent pulling off moves on both sides with a stick. So even though I have good sticks for both systems, I only bust them out when friends come over.

Raban · « **Reply #691 on:** February 16, 2011, 03:49:24 AM »

A pad's probably okay in this game. It's not too input-heavy.

Anyone come up with any decent team combos yet? At the moment, I'm using Skrull, Sentinel

But I haven't even touched a third of the cast yet. Spent about two and a half hours with Deadpool alone just trying to figure everything out.

Whoever said that was wrong. The DLC characters are fully-selectable in online, and if you don't have them you can still play against them.

You should try doing the "Capcom PS3 Region Workaround," and create a new PSN account set with Europe as your location. It will then match you up with Euro players by default. I have had to do the same thing with this game and with SSF4 to play American players...otherwise it defaults my region to Japan.

No, not in SSF4. They improved the online in that game. I did have it for a while in vanilla SF4, but that was because of my NAT settings. When we switched to a better connection, that stopped. I don't think this is the case for MvC3, since so many people are reporting this problem happening. They need to fix this shit ASAP.

It should be set to DT.

And you should have your control settings set to Beta.

bork · « **Reply #701 on:** February 16, 2011, 01:20:26 PM »

I use the following control set-up:

Light Attack - Medium Attack - Assist 1
Special - Hard Attack - Assist 2

I prefer having both Assists on the end.

Robo · « **Reply #702 on:** February 16, 2011, 01:23:57 PM »

Considering switching back to that, but I'm warming up to the TVC layout and I kinda prefer H to stay on the furthest right button.

Also, I found it sorta awkward to have the attack buttons split up when the two buttons you press for a HC control something different about it. Like to do Skrull's Death Penalty, you press L+M for the left side of the screen, M+H for the right and L+H for the middle. I think that was what made me switch to the TVC layout, now that I think about it.

The lock keeps the guide button from functioning. Turbo, obviously, turns on rapid fire, which doesn't have much application in MvC3. All mashable specials/hypers only take three button presses, from what I've seen.

iconoclast · « **Reply #703 on:** February 16, 2011, 01:37:16 PM »

I use the second control setting (LMH on top) since I read that's the one meant for arcade sticks. Haven't had any problems with it so far.

bork · « **Reply #704 on:** February 16, 2011, 02:24:02 PM »

Robo, good point-- may change to that setup then.

I was using the other scheme since it felt closest to both MvC2 and TvC (pad layout).

Himu · « **Reply #705 on:** February 16, 2011, 02:41:24 PM »

omfg

I fucking love this game.

Already have two teams:

Zero/Phoenix/Deadpool

and

Deadpool/Chris/Storm

Holy fuccccccccccck.

Zero, Phoenix, and Deadpool are easily my favorite characters in this game so far. And they really make a team dynamic that's akin to my preferred MvC2 team: Cable, BB Hood and Ruby Heart. It's this mix of zoning plus melee that really makes an interesting team for me.

I managed to take down two characters with just Deadpool against my housemate. We're so even in terms of ability right now that the game is just one big experimentation one after another. I'm loving it.

I love how even the game feels even. Sure, Hulk and Sentinel do HUGE damage, but with x-factor implemented, you can make it a bit more even. My Phoenix can die with just one big combo a lot of times, so I HAVE to use Dark Phoenix for buff boosts. X-Factor seemed to be cheap before the game came out, but it's TOTALLY fair. My buddy Alejandro and I have gotten really good at avoiding each others XF's and we're lucky if we manage to kill the other team with XF.

Along with Tactics Ogre and Ghost Trick, this is probably the best week of gaming I've had in a long ass time.

It's hard deciding who I want to play as, but right now it's a mix of Magneto, Sentinel, Wesker, Dante, Storm, and Trish. Wesker will be on my team for sure, I love playing as him.

Himu · « **Reply #709 on:** February 16, 2011, 04:19:07 PM »

Wesker plays totally different from how I was expecting and I have only played one match online. I've been playing solely arcade, versus and tutorial/mission but mostly versus.

Just did Wesker and Magneto's trials. If some of the later ones are going to be standard combos, I think I'm in trouble since they're pretty hard. Magneto's mission 9 seems like a good bread and butter that isn't too hard to do though: j. S, cr.L, cr.M, cr.H, S, j.H, air dash, j.M, j.H, H xx qcb+L, hyper.

Doom is great, missile assist is godly, so he's definitely on my team.

Right now I'm trying to find a good on-point character, somebody who has a good rushdown game, so I'm alternating between Wolverine and Dante. X23 is surprisingly good too, but doesn't hit as hard. For the last spot I'm looking for a good zoning/keep-away character, Arthur looks cool but is hard to control thanks to his crappy mobility.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #717 on:** February 16, 2011, 07:37:04 PM »

Wow, this game is fucking great. Incredible. I'm using X23/Dante/Phoenix. Yes, I save up meter and xfactor for Dark Phoenix. I agree that it's overpowered, but people gotta learn how to beat it (me included.) I think it's a good thing that people are playing Sent/Dark Phoenix a lot, so we can figure out whether they're truly broken or if people just haven't figured out how to deal with them yet. I mean, Sent's hitbox is huge and Dark Phoenix is still weak in stamina...

Sucks that the online system is terrible. Way more terrible than it has any right being at this point in the gen. Actually, the entire package we got with this game is apparently super bare bones with plenty of room for ~~assrape~~ DLC or patches. From the announcement to release, it seemed like the game came out pretty fast, maybe? In that case, hopefully they just plan on patching online for free as they go along instead of bundling it with a dlc mode or something.
