So a marginal character gets a huge nerf and an overpowered one gets no nerfs at all?

Can't say I'm surprised, but at this point I can't really see much of a reason to spend much time with this game any more. Even when Dark Phoenix was still pretty overpowered, she got used a helluva lot less than Wesker does now. So damned tired of fighting, and losing, to magical XF3 Weskers.

maya shield comes out a little faster was the only compensation he got iirc

but yeah, FULLY invincible assists are retarded. I would have been ok with his still being like that on startup though

And just to get all my Capcom hate out at once, I hope you werent looking forward to Magneto, Firebrand, Arthur or Hulks ALTS tomorrow!

It's been delayed until MARCH, and Magnetos costume is being removed. Magneto will not be getting an Alt.

So removing one costume - which is already on the disc - from an unlock file, will now take 3.5 months.

Please tell me that you'll continue to bitch and moan about it though. I don't know what we'll do without it.

Rest assured, I will do my very best to gripe about Capcom's complete unconcern with helping their favorite character take a shit on the game.

Fantastic. I wish you the best in your quest to make yourself as miserable as possible.

Zombie Hero · December 2011

Learning that the H&H mode can't be played with friends takes the winds out of my sail. I don't want to fight randoms. I spent a reasonable amount of time this afternoon card hunting so i could jam with some friends later on tonight. I cannot understand the decision to not have a local mode for it (Casuals love Test your luck in MK, for comparison).

Only bad capcom news today.

It wasn't FULLY invincible as it was invincible in the back, but I'd definitely take limited invincibility or even hyper armor rather than what we've got.

I played a bit of Phoenix Wright today. In the one match where I barely managed to scrounge together enough evidence, Wesker smacked him around when he was called as an assist, and immediately killed him upon coming in with the Wesker/Spencer mixup.

Fuck this game.

Wouldn't you still have to push the H button and a direction anyway? Also having anything on turbo blows my combos up when I tested it.

Please quit so that I don't have to PageDn through your posts anymore. I can't put you on ignore; I've already looked and there doesn't seem to be such a feature on these forums.

Evil Multifarious · December 2011

alright, so I am probably going to run Magneto/Dormammu/Akuma, or throw Spencer in there somewhere

I think Mags is my strongest character right now, as a nub, so I'm working on learning his ROM loop or whatever it is. I'm doing LMHS sj. H addf H to start, but then after this do I have to super jump? It seems like a normal jump, although I will hit with another j.H on the way up, will not get enough height to let me addf j.H before hitting the ground, which I think is why I'm dropping it. Is this the case? And how do I transition into a j.S for hard knockdown so I can follow up with a super?

Fartacus_the_Mighty · December 2011

Protip for card farming: equip all the +chance bonuses you've got (+marvel if you're doing Heralds, +capcom for Heroes). Then do one of the "unlockable" stages at 100% using Sentinel.

Even at 5 stars, the CPU is terribad vs. laser spam, and beating an unlockable area that's already at 100% gets you draws, both of which will be at least A-rank.

Thank you, Spain and Capcom. I'm glad there's so little going on in the real world that video game alternate costume DLC could now provoke potential "international incidents".

Seems pretty stupid not to have Magneto have any alt at all, even shoehorn one in later or something.

CrownAxe · December 2011

What was the controversy with Spain?

MrPsycohed · December 2011

Maaaaan... that you can't play H&H with your friends is such a buzzkill. And I was having so much fun with air dash. HULK AIR DASH! HULK IS FASTEST THERE IS!

Or not. Bah.

Kiz · December 2011

Does anybody have a link to any of Chris G's games from SCR? I couldn't find any flicking through the Day 1 stream, but I probably just missed them. Even if he gets wrecked, just curious to see someone actually play Firebrand.

I will now try double hard. Just for you.

Gave H&H a whirl. Anyone think it's kind of odd that Capcom gives that away for free, but tries to nickel and dime folks with the DLC characters (who you'd still have to buy for UMvC3 if you didn't buy them before) and the shadow battles?

Don't get me wrong, H&H promises loads more fun than those lame shadow battles ever did. I guess it's just an odd Capcom thing to offer a neat bonus mode for free, but charge for the lame stuff.

Copywrite issue regarding the original House of M artwork.

Spoiler:

And that sucks regarding the online play aspect of H&H, I only briefly tried out the AI variant and was digging the crazy. Hopefully they change it to add non-random play.

You saying that makes me remember how Shadow Mode was free.
Followed by charging for the battles.

So perhaps they'll charge for different card sets some how if all goes well.

I don't think he was on the stream until his rematch with Dios X, so on the stream look for the LAST match of UMvC3 on day 1.

inlemur · December 2011

And Hulk is completely ruined:

The distance he tosses the opponent from his command throw is now increased such that he can't otg and combo with it anymore. Which means he has absolutely no threat if you don't push buttons. Serious wtf on this one.

Awesome, cheers (turned out to be the third last, but was easy enough to find once I had a clue where to start from). Didn't really learn much, but shit it's so much more interesting watching the lesser used characters.

No Great Name · December 2011

Listen bro, getting a combo off a command throw is OP so they removed it form all thier characters

HEH

Daris · December 2011

So the fact that modded controllers can have their turbo light come on without actually using turbo doesn't seem weird to anyone else? I mean, isn't the drama here something that was bound to happen?

Can you still gamma charge forward and gamma wave for some respectable damage?

If you think 400k damage for spending a meter with Hulk is respectable, yes.

But compare this to what every other character in the game with a command throw can get. Then realize we're talking about the goddamn Hulk, and a 16-frame command grab that requires an assist to even function.

Well, goddamn. I guess I'll have to rebuild my Firebrand / Hulk / Dormammu team already. What's a good GTFO assist to help Firebrand out?

Shopping cart if the stream is any indication.

Some dude was ruining all my meaty setups, pressure, and left/right mixups using Iron Fist's wall bounce kick assist. I haven't played against it much other than that so there may be some way to beat it, but I haven't found the answer yet. Worth a look. Plus he does Hulk-like damage and his vertical flaming hyper should DHC from Firebrand. Plus plus playing him makes you a cool person.

It is a little weird, but I'm not worried about it in case anyone calls me out at a tournament. Its easy enough to prove that turbo wasn't activated by going into training mode and showing inputs.

It just seems like Noel Brown had the same wtf reaction that some of us had after seeing lights on the stream.

Dr Mario Kart · December 2011

He was actually using someone else's stick, and the owner responded to my post in the SRK tournament thread. Its TE-Kitty board by Toodles. Apparently it does have that exact side effect from the modding.

T-bolt · December 2011

So this new online mode is pretty great you guys. Great at making it take even longer to find a match.

Arikado · December 2011

Got a couple of S ranked cards. Fing Fang Foom and the Fantastic Four.

I might try the FFF card with a Wolverine/Wesker team online...

Dragkonias · December 2011

Hulk was OP they needed to nerf his command grab I mean look at all the dumb shit he has.

Like Standing H

and

...

...

Man, Standing H is bad news, I'm telling you.

Dunxco · December 2011

Man it's so dirty to run Wesker with Sakuya/Fin Fang Foom/Multiple Man card setup.

Pretty much permanent X-Factor Weskers over and over and over. I might switch out Sakuya for Nick Fury card as my main and be unkillable.

mxmarks · December 2011

If there's a Nick Cage card I'll stop caring that I can't actually play this mode with my frends.

Dunxco · December 2011

Nick Cage? Whoops. I meant Nick Fury. Keep getting the Nick Fury and Luke Cage cards mixed up.

Hah. Can you imagine... Primary effect: NOT THE BEES!
