Initial feedback from the MvC3 Fight Club:
quote: Heroic_Legacy @SRK wrote: Watched so many fights, Answers are here. Thoughts are in another thread.
Push blocking pushes them anywhere from half to full screen depending on if they were grounded or not.
Double Snapbacks knock both point and assist character off screen.
Assists are juggleable if you kill the point and the assist is still being hit by say an assist.
Skrull's HCB+A is a really fast close command grab. HCB+B is the mid range one. HCB+C is anti air. Cannot combo into any command grabs.
I have yet to see an unsafe special move that isn't Shoryuken.
Doom felt really good. But he isn't at all like his MvC2 counterpart. QCFbuttons for Photon Array. =/
Skrull Tenderizer is ridiculously good. It is safe on block and does so much damage/combo into super.
Doom/Dante's missles are overheads. And they are assists. So overhead assists. Hooray unblockables.
Leading team in the game right now is Trish Skrull Doom in that order.
Thor is god awful. The way push blocking is Thor will never get in.
Doom's level 3 is a hit. He puts you into a cylinder container and gets on his crunk chair and laughs at you as you lose health.
Chun level 3 is SA3 from 3S.
Dante's level 3 is Stinger. Repeatedly.
Trish's level 3 is an autocombo with Sparda. Does around 50 hits.
---
You can juggle assists if you can manage to launch them. You cannot OTG them though. I saw a super kill point and hit assist, 2 DHCs killed the assist. (Iron Man Chun Li Ammy methinks)
I don't think it was size related. Everytime I jumped in and got blocked I was fullscreen after 1 move. On all setups. For different characters.
Biggest IM strat of the night was IAD j.B overhead.
---
No guard breaking. They come in really low to the ground.
Tri jumps are all overheads.
Iron Man Trish Dante Chun DOOM (j.MP hits twice) Thor Ammy (Kinda)
All could tri jump into godlike overheads. Really fast too. And mix that in with an overhead assist or Ammy's ice shot assist (Takes up like half the screen in ice) and you've got yourself crazy mixup.
Dorm can tri jump but he has no good air to ground attacks. Same with Skrull.
--- d3v wrote: Question, if you snap the point out as their assist is coming in, can you kill the assist (like what Amir did to bbhood, when he snapped hood's IM, jumped over Doom's rocks then juggled Doom to death). If the assist starts the assist animation yes. But when they do their taunt after the assist they are invincible after that.
If the point dies while the assist comes out, they just go straight into their taunt. Nothing to be done.

Killer7 was developed by Grasshopper and published by Capcom. It was to be one of the "Capcom 4" that was supposed to elevate the gamecube to greatness (the other ones being PN03, RE4, and Dead Phoenix... though PN03 got panned, while Dead Phoenix got canned). As weird as Killer7 is, when a game features Amaterasu fighting MODOK, I think anything goes.

Moustache bionic commando is a tough sell for me, because he has the preposterous challenge of trying to live up to fantabulous Shinkiro rendition of Rad Spencer. The ability to jump in the fully 3D Bionic Commando didn't feel blasphemous at all, but being able to jump in the classic setting will take me a little bit of time to accept. That said, the people that made BC ReArmed have such a fantastic grasp of how to make good levels in Bionic Commando that I'm not too worried.
Meanwhile, I'm wondering if Sentinel is going to be the crack-powered flying machine of MvC2, or if they're going to make him more like a TvC giant just to infuriate all the MvC2 faithful.

My brain exploded on Shuma Gorath. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.
As for the DLC, of course, it's a pity.... but for the particular MvC3 case, I really think that the current roaster (even before Shulk and Zero were unveiled) would have been enough for a full, enjoyable game, with plenty of intriguing characters and playstyles (I mean, as varied as the Versus Capcon system can allow characters to be). After all, the game already has more character than TvC, who got released twice in Japan. If on top of that, you can pay to get even MORE characters, well, fine, isn't it? You pay if you want them, and you don't if you don't (though I cannot imagine why anyone would NOT want Shuma<3). It would be the same for Yun/Yand and whoever else added as DLC to SSF4: the game without them is already huge, and for the hungry players who want extra-topping, there is some available. In the old days, you would have had to buy MvC3Extra for 30 bucks to have them. I call the DLC an improvement, in that aspect.
The real problem would be if half of the game was a DLC. Imagine if SF2 was being remade, but the lower half of the selection screen was DLC. THAT would be unacceptable.
Another problem would be the Civilization 5 scenario : the game is blatantly unfinished, full of bugs, HUGE unbalance issues, crashes randomly anytime you do any kind of action(including when you just launch the game and try to configurate a map to play on). And on top of that, one of the civilization has to be bought separately 5$. There are already 18(now19) free civilizations in the game, so it's not a roster problem, but more of a "try to finish your alpha-version game before milking it for more money, please" situation.
TL;DR: OMG SHUMA SHUMA OMG OMG SHUMA SHUMA OMG. Just think of the armies of Shuma-M.O.D.O.K. tags you'll find online. I'll definitely be one of them.

Actually, I expected all the top characters of MvC2 to make the cut (since it's the tier-whore game per excellence), but if that list (and several others) have Magneto, Storm and Sentinel, Cable is MIA in almost all of the ones I've seen... Has he dropped in the tiers since the last time I bothered to check? I don't see how it could be possible, but then, Anakaris was considered middle-to-strong when I checked, so I'm determined to not be surprised by anything.

The thing I find interesting is that some characters that definitely should be, if not in a game, at least in a popularity contest, are nowhere to be seen (namely popular characters from MvC2 and TvC). Why would Strider and Rockman(original) be out?
That is pretty strange, but maybe they were groomed from the data because they'll be in the game and just haven't been announced? Nah, that does not make much sense either. Or maybe everyone who voted expected they would be in anyway?
I'm glad to hear that the TvC team (or at least some of it) has been involved with this project. It's by far my favorite 3D rendered fighting game of the past decade or so, so that bodes well for MvC3.
As for the Marvel side, I am so far out of the loop with Marvel comics that I can't even begin to discuss it. My only hope is that whoever they add is fun to play as. Here is my one hope: Dr. Strange, since they already have Dormammu. Hopefully they haven't killed him off or something!
EDIT: Also, like I've said before, Iron Fist!

Unfortunately he's no longer Sorcerer Supreme, but just a normal dude (as normal as any other magic practitioner, anyway). The new SS was Brother Voodoo, I think, until he got vaporized in this month's New Avengers (or was it Secret Avengeres? They have 4 !@#$! titles out now and I can never keep them straight. I don't know why either - the only one that's even remotely interesting is the one with Ultron VS Kang and cameos by The Maestro. And for those exact reasons).
In fact, not to derail the thread or anything, but the only things Marvel's done to really keep me excited in the past decade were Exiles and X-Factor (and MAYBE the first 3/4 of Civil War). I try really hard not to give in to the fanboy wishlist disease, but if I had to beg for a character to be included it'd be anyone from those two series (I could see Capcom doing fun things with Morph, Mimic, Madrox, Longshot or Layla Miller).

Ha, Violent Ken would be okay with me-- I always did love his crazy perm from Nona's SvC illustrations. Too bad it didn't make it into his sprite.
Seriously, I really can't fault Capcom for trying hard with the roster. One of my biggest issues with the whole VS era of 2D games was that they constantly recycled a handful of characters (even though yes, they did always include unique ones as well).
Overall I'm very happy with how this is shaping up-- I just had to poke fun at how they had included the one who is by far my least favorite character from the whole Street Fighter series.

In terms of how she plays, Viper is definitely an interesting addition! She has a pretend-FRC that allows for all kinds of interesting tricks, she has projectile that can let her get the jump on people without being a traditional zoning tool, she has some interesting air movements, and she was bizarre enough that she fluctuated up and down the rankings in SF4 as no other character really did. But truthfully, there really is nobody else in SF4 that plays like her... heck, there's nobody in the SF2/SF3/SFA series that plays like her. What we may think of her aesthetics is another story.
And doesn't Viper reference her child in some of her win/entry quotes?

That's certainly a wrong opinion you have there! Well that's not fair of me to say, you're entitled to your opinion, but if you can't respect the cobra vs mongoose matchup of Viper vs Ryu in high-level play, you're not qualified to speak on power levels.
As for atiitude and playstyle, Viper vastly better than Juri for versus, anyway. Does Mahvel really need a flat-chested, oversexed, dive-kicking pixie spamming pinwheels and talking like goddamn Angelica from Rugrats (not a bad cartoon though, and did you know Peter CHung was involved?)? I rest my invincible case.
I'm surprised at the Viper dislike here in the cafe as well. Et tu Ishmael? Anyway a lot of people have a hard time using her effectively in SF4... but IMO she will be much easier to use in the versus series in the absence of highly technical gameplay that revolves around links and cancels. Why not give her a shot?

Mmmhhh, your last sentence is THE point. The effectiveness of Viper not average among SFIV players, but she can do certain pretty stuff at high leves. I admit I was never interested in the char so I didn't check any match video or guide, simply disliked her since the beginning. But MvsC is about USA characters vs Japanese characters, it's a clash between two worlds and two different art styles, Viper is certainly "anime", but not as Juri, for sure. I don' find her a right choice in a roster plenty of many main favourites and fan requested characters. Sure Viper is more praised than Strider? Than Jedah? I seriously doubt.
Side note about Platinum: in the story mode of Continuum Shift I enjoyed the character and the design, but the whole moe crappyness that came with the actual playable character is keeping me from buy her from PSN....sure, her match with Detective Conan is something....creepy. I hope next installement of BB reserve us more surprises in the serious way and not more moe/doujin like designs. Come on, we got a Kaka with brain and one of six heroes is a moe majocco child? °_°

I don't agree with Juri as the leading lady of SSF4. The leading lady of any Street Fighter game is and always will be Chun-Li (When she's in it). After that fact, it only becomes an issue of whether an SSF4 character is added. Personally, I would have wanted Abel or, for vs MODOK hilarity, Rufus.
There's also the issue of SF3 representation in the game. I really hope that Alex has a chance to make it into the game, but I think the Capcom grappler slot will probably just go to Zangief.
Also, wasn't Vanessa in KOF a mom?

A wife for sure, but mom I don't remember it.
As for SF3 chars: Ibuki was hinted in a previuos list for TvC, if Zangief will be added sure not Alex for us and we'll got Ibuki instead.

As much as I liked Alex in TvC, I'm more than glad that that role is going to be held by Haggar. Enough Street Fighters already, they'll have SSF4 and Tekken vs to show up again. And who knows, maybe Alex will fail to show up there as well?
I'm surprised by the hate Storm is getting sometimes. Were people angry at Chunli for showing up, because she was so strong in 3rd strike she would probably break the balance? No matter if this is a totally different game, different engine, different rules, and 10 years after the game (out of the 3 Capcom she's been in) where Storm was over dominant? Some people really can't let things go. Plus, she looks good, which is not something you can say of Magneto from the current videos. And besides, everybody knows M.O.D.O.K. will be the real balance breaker this time.
It would only make sense that the 4 main characters of MvC2, that have been played non-stop for 10 years by all the people who supported the game and made this sequel possible, would at least be considered to come back. Cable's popularity is, if I understood correctly, totally gone, so he would be the weakest link out of the 4. But the others? You need to get the MAHVEL BABY! generation to abandon their game and get the new one. These people have played the same game for 10 years, I'm pretty sure they could go on for 10 more years.

Via his twitter account (details on srk and major fighters resources) the guy claims to leak informations about them and other info regarding the game. So we have Jean/Phoenix (Dark mode activates is she dies at LV5 super), Taskmaster and Sentinel for Marvel and Haggar, LeiLei and Gouki for Capcom. More content (costumes for certain chars and new faces) will be announced as DLC during 2011. After Shuma and Jill there will be new characters but not so many (I bet 10 total: 5 per side).
The roster seems overall promising, altough they keep ignoring Street Fighter 3!
Well, Alex has been in both versions of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, so it's not as if SFIII was completely ignored from crossovers.
But I'm quite surprised with these choices, if they're true. Lei-Lei (who I love, BTW) over MegaMan (whichever version Capcom might have used)?? Taskmaster over Cyclops (I dislike Cyke, but let's face it: he's the actual top dog in X-Men and one of the best known Marvel heroes)?? Sentinel nowadays is irrelevant, although I can understand that many players would want their number 1 god-tiered character back again.
And didn't Niitsuma say that the game still had TEN characters to be announced some weeks before the reveal of Storm and C.Viper? That means this leak list should still have one more character from each side.
I can be any person in the world... maybe I'm this person right in front of you... maybe I'm not.

In current comics, I think Magneto's been a good guy again for a while, though there are hints that he may be up to something, or it is simply his arrogance and ego that makes him look evil even when he's trying to be good. Since Marvel has a say in the game, they might not want Magneto portrayed in a straight villain role.
As for Viper, I always thought she was supposed to be a double agent. Though kind of like the Magneto situation, once you've got a double agent who's being portrayed as mysterious, you start wondering if she's up to even more.

Ahh, alright, we cool. Yeah, people in denial at this stage have issues.
Anyway, regurgitating from another source,
quote: Lupinko wrote: hey dat twitterverse, shocking news, apparently dat 50sent and Leilei are unlockable characters as well, I don't know what to say but I know what to say about Jill and Shuma, they are real dlc and don't really exist yet
Hsien-ko info: For her item throw special of various miscellaneous items, there is a random chance that one of the items is a bomb and if it hits the opponent, it would result in a dizzy, but if it lands on the ground it would have a timer count down until it detonates For people familiar with Vampire Savior, basically they integrated Leilei's EX Special into her regular Special
Taskmaster Super 1: He shoots a massive barrage of arrows straight forward Taskmaster Super 2: It's a super counter
Oh right I confirmed that her EX Special, the one other than Tenraiha and Chuukudan is also in the game as a super Wasn't able to get confirmation on Tenraiha itself, sorry, but I assume it's probably there She still has her reflect, and can still run in the air as well her hopping teleport dash
Taskmaster's launcher is Stars & Stripes, when he throws you, he says "Judo throw!" and after doing that in his regular throw, he shoots you with a gun He apparently shoots his opponent when he's on the ground during his judo throw, like he's upside down with his back from the throw When he does his webswing, he uses a grappling hook obviously He has a lot of special moves, but only 2 supers In his taunt, he says "Is that all the moves ya got?" He's very hunched forward He has a New York accent, my source isn't too good with New York accents, but it's safe to assume it would be a Bronx one
The game also rates your playstyle during online play, for example, if you are a defensive player, offensive player, etc., This is represented by that circle graph of stats, it rates power level abilities too, you can also read the bio of all the characters Think comicbook cards, this was actually shown off awhile back I think on the Japanese MvC3 site as well, so I'm not sure if this is new
In the Challenge Mode, you can do any challenge, and you don't need to go in order, you get to fight in what looks like the Danger Room that's for the training level
Sentinel is pretty faithful to his older incarnation Sentinel apparently has regained COTA levels of detail/animation again Unfortunately my source was unable to confirm if Sentinel regained his bellyflop from COTA The move that is as ridiculous looking as Dudley's upside down uppercut

Yes, I will second this (EDIT: especially that I did not care for RE5), but I suspect that the heavy inclusion of RE5 versions of characters involves having models already available for use in the game, as opposed to needing creation from nothing.
Here is hoping that Frank West or Chuck what's-his-name from Dead Rising will be in the game, to at least add the zombie-summoning action.
After gnashing my teeth about buying so many games new at full price only to have them languish in the their boxes, unopened until their retail price drops or a greatest hits version is released for cheap, I finally broke down and preordered this last week, buoyed up by feelings of excitement about most of the cast (HAGGAR! ARTHUR! DANTE! to start with at least).

quote: it's not even a character, but a kind of character
Sometimes I wish the whole disposable nature of Sentinel was exploited more in the character design. Sure Sentintel can shoot mini-Sentinels around, but that's it. Q-Bee in VS (as opposed to Vs.?) had some animations that featured her dying after stinging the opponent, just like a bee. Just because individually they have no character doesn't mean that they have no character as a whole!
Still, Sentinel was really quite an amazing character in the gameplay department, and Capcom's rendition of him was very interesting nonetheless. If you look at the kind of power that the big four of MvC2 have, it's amazing that there's any game balance at all just among them! Magneto's rushdown is so extreme that it's a wonder that anything can stop him... but something can! Sentinel's... well, everything, is so extreme that it's a wonder that anything can stop him... but something can! Cable's ability to punish mistakes and prevent anybody from doing anything is almost outrageous, and yet his zoning can still be broken.
SRK is down for two days likely as a result of the storm of activity arising from the Sentinel/Hsien-Ko leak.

Gameplay-wise it may be a great character (it was top tier in MvC2, wasn't it?), but in terms of personality or charisma I don't think Sentinel adds nothing at all... it's not even a character, but a kind of character (after all, there are many Sentinels in Marvel - or at least there used to be many of them prior to that Messiah CompleX event).
Well, Phobos/Huitzil (who might fit the over-the-toppness of this kind of game, but I haven't played in ages and can only remember the beams...) has pretty much the same kind of role, at least in the 1st Vampire/Darkstalkers, before they made him tag along with a kid. Maybe (t)he(y)'ll get a cameo in the Sentinel ending, at least...
Sentinels: "Destroy all mutants!" Phobos army: "Destroy all life forms!" Guy(s) in change of sentinels: "Oh shi..." *reprogramming the sentinel prime directive to fight the Phobos*

I agree, it sounds like "generic happy chinese girl theme".
I'm a bit worried about Leilei in that game, though: her moves had a use in Vampire, but how useful will they be in a vastly different context? The jiraitô (the swords) were a "get away from me" move, but how useful is it in MvC where you just need the Morrigan assist to do that for free, and anyone can superjump over the swords? And the Tenraiha, which was used to do nasty things to build unblockable traps, just seems to be a combo finisher-OTG move...
The gong seems super good, though. A good answer to MODOK's shield.

Gosh, I am dying to play Lei-Lei. I've been hungry for some Vampire Savior lately, but my PS3 broke (even after I repaired it) and I had to replace it with a slim. My PS2 was given to a friend, so I don't really have any means to play. C'mon Vampire Chronicles PSN release!
quote: Wow, she looks like a blast to play as, just like in the Vampires games! But hoo, her voice is pretty bad! Or is it just me?
A lot of the dub voices rub me the wrong way, but really, what would a good Lei-Lei sound like in English? I think it's just like SF4, where you have cheesy (but iconic) in Japanese with bad English, or cheesy in English with bad Japanese.
Maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but it's more like "as good as you can expect."
quote: I'm a bit worried about Leilei in that game, though: her moves had a use in Vampire, but how useful will they be in a vastly different context?
This is (one reason) why these games have such poor balance. You want to keep the character's signature moves, but when you plug them into a completely different game, how can you expect them to work the same? It's not as bad as KOF MI, though, I suppose...
I'm surprised they stuck to tradition SO much on the Marvel characters, too. I guess people really don't like it when you change things.

quote: Are you sure it cannot be performed as aerial too? Pretty useless if not.
I'm not sure of anything, since I just saw the same videos as you, but there really is a height problem. Compare with Magneto's Magnetic Shockwave. The sword only fill one screen. Also, the damage don't seem fantastic... I don't say it's totally useless, but I'd be very curious to know how the move is going to be efficiently used.
(ES) gong (midair) will be her usual tool for zoning, which then she can add to the pressure with Jiraito + assists if necessary to get in and crunch the opponent in
The only gamble is that her airdash and walkspeed are a bit slower than her NW/VS incarnation, but otherwise, she'll be pretty godlike from the looks of it
Only that she'll still have a bit of trouble breaking out of pressure herself, though maybe she can gong or if she has meter, or I'm not sure what the properties of Senpuu Bu are here and whether or not she can use it as a reversal despite its startup frames

I agree, it looks like we're going to cherish and love the gongs. The part of the video where she totally nullifies Arthur was almost sad. I'm still not convinced Jiraito would be any useful to control the screen, with all her other moves that seem almost as useful, but without being supers...
quote: Only that she'll still have a bit of trouble breaking out of pressure herself, though maybe she can gong or if she has meter, or I'm not sure what the properties of Senpuu Bu are here and whether or not she can use it as a reversal despite its startup frames
Maybe Jiraito has some kind of invincibility? There's very few supers with invincibility, so it could justify the gauge spent on on a defensive, low damage move... I'm not sure her great antiair from Savior will be half as useful, since it seems to also be her launcher, and that would be completely broken... Maybe strong ankihô ? Anyhow, there's not many weaknesses in the game that can't be covered with the right assist, I suppose.

YES. Also, I thought Shuma would be be bigger. Is it just me?

Metro City is hardly vague, although I think it was meant to be a game analogue of New York, given its look and feel. Don't know how I feel about moving him to NY. I suspect it's part of the game's 'story' to explain his presence in the game. 
quote: Also, is it me or is the RE representation in this game the weak link stylistically? Guns and some leaping kicks are great when you're dealing with a super virus but when everybody in MvC3 has it cranked up to 11 the RE guys look a bit subdued.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing, and also finding it strange that only two Street Fighters are in the game, while there are three people from RE. I'm liking Wesker's design and style, but I had hoped to have MvC2-style Jill or at least have Chris with some of her moves. Oh well, perhaps Frank West or that other guy will be another DLC character.
I'm actually quite excited about this game! I may even follow through on my constant claim that I will play against some cafe-ers online even.

There are actually four SF characters now (Ryu, Chunli, Gouki, and C. Viper). Hopefully any future DLC won't add to that total
Technically Haggar too, according to Final Fight's text on the character. He probably ran for mayor of NY under JJJ's support, so people would stop looking to Spiderman to deal with crime in the city or something.
As for Shuma, I recall reading something about Capcom getting his color wrong in MSH, and correcting it in later games. Odd are that palette will still be around... I'm still surprised about those choices for DLC - Shuma has big fans, but I just don't see the mass appeal that would make people play extra to use him (or that version of Jill for that matter). Had Capcom put a price tag on Sentinel and Gouki instead, the boxed game would feel like a fresher experience and the DLC would have been a garanteed success...

I'd love Frank West, myself! Elektra? I'm sure she's very different from the Frank Miller-era character I recall. I'd prefer Daredevil, honestly, but I don't know how much different he would end up being from Spiderman play-wise (or Jill, for that matter). And despite my griping in the past about DLC, this is one game I'll likely spring for extra content in.

I think Jedah would be AWESOME. But knowing Cap...ehm, marketing, they end up chosing Vega or, into extremes, Pyron.
