Jesus christ fuck Ammy's cold star assist.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #782 on:** February 18, 2011, 04:01:28 AM »

^ yessir Ami is now an official member of my main team :3

Right now I'm alternating between X23/Ami/Doom and Wolverine/Ami/Doom.

Also I just realized that you tag in a partner while defending by pressing assist+forward during block, that should come in real handy. I can't believe I still haven't pinned down the very basics of the game $:-\$ was thig tag method available in MvC2? I played that game for so long and I really don't know.

Finally got the achievement for clearing 320 missions. I'm kinda glad it's not like S/SF4 where you have to complete everything, since some of them can get pretty hard. Now to get the rest of the endings from arcade mode, then I'll just stick to online play.

Just noticed I've already played this game for 17 hours too.

How hard is it to the 1000 compared to SSFIV?

iconoclast · « **Reply #786 on:** February 18, 2011, 05:25:13 AM »

It's definitely easier as a whole. S/SF4 has achievements for collecting all the icons, doing every trial, collecting every title, etc. and those can be really hard. MvC3 doesn't have any achievements for completing everything 100%.

The two hardest achievements are doing 320+ trials and getting to 1st class rank. But I guess you don't even need to get to 1st class, you can just fight against someone who's 1st class and it will unlock.

Himu · « **Reply #787 on:** February 18, 2011, 10:47:05 AM »

Found my team.

Zero (shippuga), Ammy (cold star), Doctor Doom (hidden missile).

Is is bitching.

Himu · « **Reply #790 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:00:42 AM »

What aboutttttttttttttttttt...

Zero (shippuga), Ammy (cold star), and Iron Man (unibeam)

or

Deapool (katana-rama), Ammy (cold star), Hsien-ko (senpu bu)?

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #791 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:02:51 AM »

I haven't messed around with Haggar yet, but I got pretty hyped after watching the tourney. Also, I'm not sure which move Senpu Bu is, but I think Lei Lei's best assist is her Gong. You should give Dante a chance, he's very good on point, has good assists and nice hypers. Extra points for being able to use his DT then tag out.

Himu · « **Reply #792 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:04:01 AM »

Steel Pipe doesn't have much range so it's a no go. Haggar rocks btw.

Senpu Bu is one where she flies across the room with a chain.

Check my edit. Iron Man for Haggar.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #793 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:05:38 AM »

senpu bu is shit because she can't fly over any aerial attacks and will fly right into any close encounter ultras.

Himu · « **Reply #794 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:08:15 AM »

So is her great assist hankyo ki?

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #795 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:11:58 AM »

I haven't tried the pendulum as an assist, but it's disappointing as a move since she can't cancel out of it like in DS games, iirc. I like the gong though, at least in theory, and I don't remember her third assist.

My favorite assists so far in the game are Doom's Hidden Missiles, Chun Li's lightning legs, and Ami's Cold Star.

Himu · « **Reply #796 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:14:41 AM »

I may try Zero, Ammy and Deadpool. My three favorites who also have amazing assists.

Robo · « **Reply #797 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:17:02 AM »

Haggar supposedly has one of the best assists in the game: double lariat has full body invincibility during its duration (but he does take red damage whenever you call him in), knocking opponents out of most combos.

He's pretty damn slow tho and has lengthy recovery on whiffed normals, so like Thor (but not nearly as badly as Thor), you gotta be pretty careful about sticking limbs out there because you're gonna get bodied if you miss or are caught mashing attacks and get pushed by advancing guard. Slow characters are especially tough to use in this game, I find.

Instant-air lead pipe is

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #798 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:19:07 AM »

Who're the slowest characters in this game: Thor, Haggar... and Hulk? Who else?

Himu · « **Reply #799 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:23:56 AM »

Those are the slowest. Arthur, if you consider he has no dash.

Robo · « **Reply #800 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:25:33 AM »

Those are the three I was thinking of specificially. The other rather slow ones - Dormammu, Arthur and MODOK - don't necessarily rely on the strength of their normals.

Himu · « **Reply #801 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:27:53 AM »

Last night after my going away party we went back to our place and played some MvC3. I played every character in versus and loved every character. Haven't felt like that since SF2.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #802 on:** February 18, 2011, 11:30:29 AM »

Yeah, the cast is strong, and not because of the game's balance, as I think it's the wrong term to use for describing MvC3. I just think everyone has so much BS up their sleeves lol.

His performance had the same impact on me as Daigo's Ken-comeback in 3s, as in it got me booting the game right away, using him in all my teams, failing to reproduce the same results but not giving a fuck either way.

I got bodied by a friend pretty familiar with MvC2 this evening. Pretty much just raped me with basic DHCs, which I'm not too familiar with. Storm is a real fuckin' pain the ass; her ice storm HC hits OTG and bounces for a free follow-up DHC for big damage, especially when it's coming from Sentinel. $:-\$ Not to mention the ludicrous chip damage. Managed to edge out a few wins with Wesker/Skrull, but my lack of a decent anchor is a weak point for the moment.

Bebpo · « **Reply #815 on:** February 19, 2011, 02:27:21 AM »

I finally got a chance to sit down and try out all the characters with a friend in vs. mode. Reaaaaaaaaaaaaally liked Haggar. He's definitely my main. Then again I main with Zangief in every SF game and MvC2. Hagger has so many good moves, can get around the screen, everything he does is great damage and he can link tons of moves/supers together. Good times.

Also enjoyed Phoenix and Super Skrull. I liked Dorammu but I need to learn how to play him. Arthur seems ok and Amaterasu is a lot weirder than I hoped she'd be. Oh Chris is a lot of fun. Love the shotgun blast. Pushing a character back into a grenade is awesome

Speaking of which, the best moment I had tonight where when you hit assist and then your character gets killed and the assist comes in and smacks the guy who killed you in the back of the head and kills them

btw, some characters seemed to have shitty x-factors. Even at a lvl.3 with some people I was barely doing more than normal damage and nothing insane like the big hitters.

I'm taking that this was shot before the Wednesday Night Fights when Wong dominated without the use of Sentinal.

Robo · « **Reply #820 on:** February 19, 2011, 04:47:49 PM »

I don't think that would stop Marn from bitching about it, but yeah, no mention of Wong at Fight Nights probably means it was.

I'm not sure, but I highly doubt it requires the latest firmware (3.56), so it's probably the JB friendly 3.55

Is anybody else having problems playing online with this? (PS3) I can't find anybody to play (which is frustrating because the game goes through a FUCKING LOAD SCREEN if it fails to find a match)... am I limited to only people in the USA because of my US PSN account?

Yes; I already posted about that here! There's an "issue" with some of Capcom's PS3 and Wii games, where it defaults your region to the one your account is tied to. You're definitely going to want to make a Japanese account. I have seen this in SSF4, RE5, LP2, and TvC.

This ruined Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom online for me, since my Wii is Japanese...it would always match me up with Asian and European players, then American players last. Tons of lag, and no way around it AFAIK. :'(

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #828 on:** February 21, 2011, 07:51:46 AM »

What are your ranked winning ratios in this, people?

An embarrassig 55% here, so many annoying Akuma players in my matches. I blame Wong!

(last match I lost was against a player with 21 wins and 0 losses... And yes a twenty fucking one win streak!!)

iconoclast · « **Reply #829 on:** February 21, 2011, 08:02:57 AM »

I think I am 47 - 11 for ranked matches. So 80 something percent? I kinda suck though - most of my losses were against people who completely obliterated me. I blame Magneto for dying in 2 combos.

I still need to finish all of arcade mode before I pick a final team and learn how to play each character properly.

ch1nchilla · « **Reply #830 on:** February 21, 2011, 10:54:51 AM »

Why oh why is it impossible for my to find games online? Is anyone else having this problem with the PS3 version? I set up a JP account and everything.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #831 on:** February 21, 2011, 11:01:42 AM »

I stopped having trouble finding matches a couple of days ago, I'm not even setting my matches to same region anymore. Then again I never search for matches manually, I just jump into training mode and set fight requests to on. I usually get paired up in 10 - 15 seconds.

iconoclast · « **Reply #832 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:04:37 PM »

I have to give it to the community: I've played 30 ranked matches but only ran into 4 Sentinels, two of which had no idea how to play him right, which made wiping them even more hilarious.

*I'm proud to say I have never picked that piece of junk nor activated my XF before my opponent.

Anybody who activates X-Factor first is a scrub. It's the truth.

I activate X-factor when it's most likely to win me the match, or kill an important character by extending a combo.
