lol, I hope no one picks up skrull because of this.
It's not like it wont be patched.
If you play mostly online, then I wouldn't worry about this too much because a tiny bit of lag can break the combo and if you play it offline, then the skrull player has to get that first hit to put them in the corner. This is very execution heavy and well deserving if you can consistently pull it off. Most skrulls I see (if it even matters) usually don't have as much control and like to gamble with "random-ish" meteor smash and tenderizers, but thumbs up to whoever will truly practice this and get it down
@ Zero
That would be a method but a very poor choice of fixing the issue. That would make half the cast useless because most of them needs to do combos longer than fifty to deal sufficient damage. Instead, what they decided to do is hitstun deterioration.
@15: think of it this way, the game comes out November 15th. That's 3 months from now. 3 months is not a lot of time. They are probably at the end of developing it right now. The game has to go to factories to make the discs and then from there get shipped to stores(I'm sure there are a lot more in between steps). In all honesty I really don't know how long it takes to do all of that but I know it isn't a walk in the park. So let's say they can't get rid of it by UMVC3. Are they really gonna patch the game that is supposed to be the end of all patches for MVC3 or will they let it slide? I guess we'll see.

It's actually not impractical at all.
The only hurdle for pulling this off is that it requires really good execution. However, as it was mentioned, Skrull gets people in the corner easily enough so getting them in a situation where you can pull this off isn't a problem.
Superskrull is top tier, people just don't realize how strong he really is among all of these wesker, dante, phoenix, she hulk and wolverine users. Skrull does as much damage as all of these characters aside from phoenix, and those grabs are even easier to combo into than wolv's dive kick. People need to stop paying attention to the same damn combos they think is best. One day a godlike skrull user will appear and wreck the tier listings.

Release day patches are not uncommon. Even if they are already physically producing the discs and packaging, nothing is stopping them from pushing an update. Actually, SFIV, SSFIV, and MvC3 all had patches for the purpose of removing last minute bugs. Capcom even announced that the updates were planned in advance of the release.
SFIV patch removed a few glitches with Rose. SSFIV patch removed the unblockable ultra glitch. And of course, MvC3 was patched multiple times to remove a handful of infinites and nerf Sentinel.
@#21
There was plenty of skrull players at EVO, i think they do know how strong he CAN be.
1) Combo into grabs? did i read that right? If you really meant combo after grabs then yea it easy. But setting up the grabs take some work. And the speed that characters can move along with assist coverage getting a grab off isnt easy even though it has tremendous range.
2) wesker, dante, phoenix all have good teleports that can be used to start combos or used midway. Wolvy got a fast lethal divekick to start combos and use mid combo. she hulk has the fast long slide which can be viewed like a horizontal version of wolvy dive kick in its potential.
See how they all have similar mobile versatility? Skrull doesnt have any thing mobile like any of them that can be followed up upon normally. Meteor smash into xfactor follow up/super both requiring resources would be the equivalent to the previous named characters.
which is probably why he isnt used by top players, nothing fast and mobile thats relatively safe. Blocked meteor smashes can and will get him killed quickly. So yea skrull may have good damage potential, but that isnt enough in this type of game if you cant get it started.
Eventhubs stop posting mvc3 stuff none of this crap matters anymore mvc3 is dead both offline and online since now they are going to cut off online support once umvc3 comes out. We basically gave capcom a free $60 or $70 donation to play a broken no content what so all game only to give them another $40 to get what we should have got in the first place. Thank god I'm pirating this game :p
Nice glad i pciked up skrull now :D
