Marvel vs Capcom 3 discussion

For anyone that's played Tatsunoko Vs Capcom - does this have a better fighting system or is it as similar as I suspect?

Cheers!

They're quite similar. MvC3 has an extra attack button that's a launcher, instead of TvCs method of down-forward C being a launcher.

This game dropped baroque and added x-factor instead, which can only be used once per game and it makes your character(s) faster, do more damage, regain red health and take no chip damage. The more characters on your team that have been eliminated, the better x-factor gets and it lasts longer.

All characters in this game have snap backs as a specified move which is handy.

There are no giants

Assists can be used in much quicker succession in this game than in TvC and tagging is performed by holding the P1 or P2 button instead of back + P. Also, like MvC2 each character has three different assist types instead of just one.

If you liked how TvC played, then you'll probably like this game. Personally I'd have preferred baroque over x-factor in this game, but it's early days yet, so we'll see how the game pans out.

Resi 5 Spoiler:

Alas that is the realm of Frank West these days

Actually got to sit down today to mess with the game and best combos etc. Dante's by far best combo starter is w/e into H, F+H (Stinger), then cancel to Seismo (DP + M), then into rape

But you cannot cancel stinger into anything, so you get around this by cancelling his stinger into his command jump/"Bold Move", then the prejump frames of bold move into the Seismo

You can do this by inputting, f+h, d + ATK + S, then downfard + M. I like to just input bold move as Dante draws his arm back for F+H then special on hit, a lot less effort imo

Here is a video showcasing probably the best damage in corner (with NO XFC or anything) off his Stinger > Seismo. It's a pretty neat combo into air guitar, into fire sword > Hyper.

Video on my YT



Note ; After Seismo I only did j.H instead of J.MH because the rest of the combo prorates too much if you do, and hence wont work

Next two combos are just flash, do less damage than Marn Combo/the above. Just for flash really but damage is still good. The key in these combos is to time the fire sword so the last hit doesn't hit, allowing you to continue combo with d/f + H~H, f+H wall bounce, into w/e. All are practical too, and easy to do with practice





I'm still messing with him as of now, there's some cool stuff I'm still learning like Stinger xx bold move xx Seismo, jump cancel into whirlwind, launch, jump cancel into 3 x Acid rain loop

Lot of work and execution needed, but that's what training is for

Videos when I get them down

Akuma gets an infinite

This game will take more practice than I thought it would . Only have a couple of hours of play time in so far. Find I am flip flopping between completely dominating my online opponents and then getting schooled in the next match.

Dante seems immense. I expect to see him in most peoples teams.

My inner dhalsim wants to pick trish and just annoy the hell out of everyone.....:o... But I think I will try and learn some rushdown instead...maybe

Capcom must've screwed up and somehow made some moves unaffected by the whole hitstun decay thing because it definitely works, Ive had it ruin several of my own (not all that adventurous) combo ideas already.

Mahvel seems good for a laugh, but better than CS is giving it way too much credit.

It even has it's own Valk in the form of Sent. :pac:

Edit: Training mode doesn't even work properly fer chrissakes!

Well I've only found one broken feature so far...

Infinite X-Factor option does absolutely nothing, try it.

The description explicitly states that it allows you to re-use X-Factor after it expires without resetting training mode, it doesn't.

Apperantly hit stun decay only affects moves up to a certain point. The minimum hit stun level of Akuma's tatsu is still high enough to allow the infinite.

I did only read that in a couple of SRK threads, so validity is unconfirmed.

Apperently Joe & VOA have said that this **** is better than BBCS.

You guys suck, way to give the SF heads ammo.

Joe THAT pic will be posted at 8PM.

wtf i never said that. Marvel is great fun, just taking a brake from Cs till Cs 2 is out and back to the challenge mode on Cs 2. Blazblue all the way still.

Its all about the hype of the two worlds.

AFAIK it does decay but no one in the game has high enough health for to see it, so speaking, it's an infinite

It combos to 999 hits in training mode so I dunno if that's the case...

KK, I thought otherwise, thanks for correcting me
