amaterasu looks really really beast, and hella creative
Wow, they gave Thor the "Magnetic Shockwave"? And Amaterasu looks AMAZING.
i don't even know what the fukc is happening! ......i love it!
@6: The good thing about that is it's 2010. Games can be patched if some aspects are deemed "broken". The bad part is it's 2010, and games can be patched.
How different would MvC2 be if unblockables, unfly, infinites and many other glitches (glitches that made the game what it is today) were patched?
If stuff in MvC3 ends up broken more than likely it will be patched, because it can be.
Wow, Ammy seems to have that Volnutt-style weapon changing action going on.
Definitely gonna be using her, since I loved that versatile type of playing.
Ex_Ein, I know they patched Fei Longs infinite in vanilla and in super. Can't remember HDR, but I think they did patch something? If not, my bad. And I'm sure they didn't do anything to MvC2 except port it to PSN/XBL.
In fact, I think they created a few new glitches. Like unable to block Cable's AHVB or something? I'm not sure.
But I'm just saying if something ends up being mad broken, like Hulk Gamma Crush doing 100% damage on female characters. I'm sure they'd patch that up.
anyone notice the viewtiful after ironman's proton cannon in the third video?
I'm not sure what Capcom consider overpowered or broken. I mean Akuma in HDR is broken as hell. I think he has an inescapable RD setup. That to me constitutes a patch.
MvC2 is the way it is because it's been played as is in many tournaments for a decade. Top players have discovered, learned, and mastered the glitches. Glitches even help some low-tier characters compete against the god-tiers. Or at the very least help them earn a spot on a competitive team.
Just the way it is I guess?
On topic, Thor is looking okay. Nothing incredible, but might be just me being all nostalgic after watching Captain America beast on Ryu as his theme bumped in the background. Sweet as hell!
So hectic and flashy I much rather a slower paced fighter like SFIV, does look pretty tho.
Thor looks slower and more bulky than I expected him to be.
Amaterasu looks fun to play as, but they're going to have to nerf that elemental hyper's damage.
Could anyone tell what her other hyper was supposed to do? It looked sort of like Bang's dash nails from BlazBlue, but a little different.
@32
I did notice that as well. I also noticed that Ryu didn't air dash. I thought I heard that they were taking that away the nearly universal airdash (could be wrong).
The game is still early on. I just want as many possible viable characters as well. Too early to worry, though (not to early to observe, however).
Ryu can air dash, Ryu and Chun play like their TvC counter parts (aka very strong if you understand the game), Thor can launcher after his power dunk like move into a very strong air super and he seems to have a strong multi hit beam projectile (sounds strong to me), many characters have supers that basically force chip on you just like MvC2 (full screen supers fall into the same group), This game has yet to reveal infinite meterless combos or any true unblockables (I should hope not very few have had time to even sink their teeth into it) so this couldn't possibly look more broken than MvC2. That run on sentence is dedicated to some of the quick unresearched outbursts above. On to the constructive/happy part.
Amaterasu's other super looks like it slows down your opponent which should be rather useful in a game like MvC3 where speed is key. Also it seems a ton of the characters have ways to scoop you up off the ground for launchers, combos, super, ect. All of this OTG stuff really looks to keep the crazy combos going for even longer without insane loops, good move capcom.
i love all this hype before games.....I love to here the reactions and everyone's opinions ^_^ THIS GAME WILL BE SIIIIICK!!!
i thought thor was a bit eh but cool nonetheless....reminded me of a bulking character similar to hulks style or suttin
That combo by Thor at the end of the 2nd vid will be a huge BRB when the game comes out
this is what I feared for amaterasu...nice combo nice damage but sh*tty defense :(
@6
u got to keep in mind this is a vs game and they were never about balance it was about being cheep and everyone being broken in some way it what made the game fun the whole idea was to out cheap your opponent look at mvc 2 almost all the charaters had something broken on them
to everyone out there that is looking for balance in this game better go somewhere else u are not going to find it in this game
it looks tight but i still have to play it first need a demo
Although I think Marvel has a better set of characters... Capcom is looking more and more legit.
Never played DMC... but Dante looks absolutely amazing... and never heard of Trish, but she looks fun as well.
They did a realllllly good job with Chris Redfield.
Morrigan/Felicia look great too!
Ana now you have Ama... what can I say? Looks like a fun character to use.
THIS IS SO GOD DAMN AWESOME THAT I ALMOST CAN'T HANDLE IT
Also why do I keep seeing people even having the THOUGHT cross their mind that Naruto could be added? You guys realize Marvel and Capcom have __NOTHING__ to do with Naruto, right? You guys need to chill and stop trying to pick any and every character from any form of media and saying "omg they should be in the game!!"
@#66 - Yep. I got pretty damn sick of seeing Final Fantasy characters on Brawl wish lists from people who were dead set in the idea that it could happen. Ugh.
Anyway AMATERASU YESSSSSSSSSSSSS~ I am playing Deadpool / Amaterasu forever. Dunno who will be my 3rd. Probably Blackheart.
i would like to say first is...
Amaterasu is so godly, not overpowered, but just right perfect! hyper/super moves is just awesome, slow time movement against the opponent and a full screen blaster (similar to Hail Storm)
...while on the other hand...
Thor didnt really give me a big impression or impact, he's like Storm and Magneto combined, 2 super/hyper move are like basically the same same as Storm and Magneto (Lightning Storm and Magnetic Shockwave), but i still like the fact that he can continue a combo after a command throw and bound/bounce a downed opponent then continue to a combo!
...so far the line-up roster seems getting better, cant wait for Dormammu and Viewtiful Joe announcement!
@ #38
are you kidding me? capcom crew is rocking the marvels to the ground, iron man is just iron man, wolverine is just wolverine, thor and dr.doom don't impress either, deadlpool seems solid i can give you that
on capcom trish and ammy are already stealing the show not to mention dante
this game is looking bigger than sf4 did i'm really excited coz honestly sf4 was a let down, 3s is still pinnacle of the franchise w/o a doubt
They should've used the movelist from the MUGEN created Thor. That version has serious hypers.
Why is it that everyone who plays Ryu in these youtube videos are terrible with him? You'd think that someone would be able to play the character that changes the least with every iteration with some sort of skill.
Haha ryu looks so basic compared to everyone else, clearly they are not focused about balance right now, but i hope they will be. Balance issues really sucked the fun out of MVC2, it was soooo fun in the arcades back in the day when there were more than a few usable characters and you couldn't die because you got hit once
lmao people havent seen all the characters yet and there saying top tiers alrdy wow of course they look beast they demoing the characters so all the offense is coming from the character there showing lol
@#47
i suppose their play style is a bit similar. i just hope they put Jin in this game. i mean, he was in the first two
amaterasu is the most unique character in the game right now and she is going to be in my team. I just want to see NERO AND VIRGIL from devil may cry, then I would be very happy
OOOHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!
