Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3

[Rusty Spy]

If I an read those icons correctly, it looks like it gives the user an air dash. Coolio.

[PSI Wind]

Ok, I think I get how it works. Each teammate will probably get only one card. That'd explain why only 1 or 2 effects are lit at a time. (really hopes this hasn't been confirmed already)

With Roll and Dr. Wily cards it's almost inevitable that there's gonna be a Megaman card.

[Carbo]

Wright alts have been revealed.

In case you haven't figured I will never stop using the last one.

[Rusty Spy]

dat lil' Ammy

[TrueBlue]

Wright really is the best character in this game. Those alts are amazing.

[Vec]

He has a Godot alt .

Ohai Missle

It's not that I just noticed him now, it's just that he appeared very little in the trailer to appreciate him clearer

[YoshiUnity]

That Ghost Trick/Okami Alt is amazing! But I definitely see myself using the Larry Butz/Maggey Bryde and Gumshoe/Franzika alts more.Though I can't help but think that the Kay and Mia alts for Maya should switch places.

[Chooch]

All of Phoenix's colors are amazing but I'm probably going to use the Sissel one more than anything when I do play Wright.

[Chooch]

The only Marvel characters I really care about that are returning are Dr. Doom and Dormammu and they're mainly getting stronger.

They weren't even bad in the original game either. Good for me.

Edited October 21, 2011 by Chooch

[Carbo]

Deadpool's overhead isn't cancellable anymore.

Fuckdamn shitcocks.

Also according to S-Kill's twitter, Chun-Li apparently has an OTG no one's found yet. Looks like she's finally going to be a more used character.

Also, Maximilian did a new special episode of Assist Me, which covers all the game's system changes and how it affects certain characters. It's really worth a look so you'll be prepared for how different UMvC3 is.

[Johnny Boy]

Who's gonna put deadpool and phoenix on the same team? Lol

[Carbo]

Possibly, but I have a hard time figuring whether or not I want to use his OTG assist or Quick Work. Quick Work would probably be the most effective tool for Wright to use since it means he'll be able to perform some unblockable setups and compensate for his seeming lack of real mix-ups, but Wright has no real viable OTG for extended combos since Maya can only be corner-combo'd and is otherwise used for spacing.

I speak this assuming I'm going to roll with Wright / Doom / ??? as Maximilian said that Doom is the perfect addition to a Wright team. Those hidden missiles are far too valuable, and Wright is mainly a point character.

That said, the above team might be a secondary team, as I'm still planning on continuing maining Spencer, and I have a hard time seeing any synergy between him and Wright at all. In terms of play style, they're polar opposites. This is quite a pickle for me.

[Carbo]

Pardon for the double post but something absolutely amazing happened yesterday in Spooky's Curly Mustache tournament stream.

The magic happens at around about the :50 mark. This is fucking MvC2 Gambit tier, it's already banned from use.

Er... Wow. Shame it does like no damage thoguh but still that's pretty impressive/crazy. Wow.

[Conando]

It DOES do damage, Amaterasu was brought down to dangerous HP levels while she was using Advancing Guard.

[Carbo]

Side series by Maximilian is going to go through significant change logs of older characters. This episode covers She-Hulk, Dormammu, Magneto, Hulk and Doctor Doom. New episode of Assist Me is going to go up later today, featuring Phoenix Wright.

You might be pleased (or terrified) to hear that Doom is not only getting buffs, but is also pretty much retaining all combos, tech and everything that made him good in Vanilla.

As an aside, it seems as the Frank West and Rocket Raccoon reveal might take place October 30. Link contains a sample from new Shinkiro art that shows the entire new cast.

[The Tenth Doctor]

Good stuff, Looking forward to the Phoenix Wright episode! Wonder who is in court since we saw Nick and Doom on the same side?

[Carbo]

New 'Assist Me!' Episode: Phoenix Wright and Iron Fist

ULTRADAVID

[killemoff]

Good old Ultra David. <3

Really enjoy the "Assist me!" series.

And i'll be damned if Phoenix Wright isn't possibly of the stronger characters, provided you can activate the "GIANT HAND OF DOOM" stance.

[Carbo]

Activating it actually seems really easy. The positive evidence rate is rather high and you can pick up three pieces in a second due to cancellable animations, and you don't lose evidence when you use your Objection. After that, every combo he does is basically a touch of death combo. We haven't even seen anyone master his potential yet.

That said, while Wright has so many tools for the job, he seems to lack any good way of actually putting them into use due to his mobility, and also relatively below average normals. While his lack of power in normals is made up for the ease of accessing Turnabout Mode, they still have pretty bad range and sub par priority. He's gonna need some assists to get in.
