Maximilian's Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 gameplay breakdown part 2, Strider & Wesker

Strider is looking good.

650,000 HP For Strider? Lol im not so afraid of him anymore. Ill play him anyways, I play Seth/Akuma w/e the lowest HP chars in SSF4 so im alright with it lol.

Striders lookin boss though. And im glad they didnt destroy xfactor, its fine.

Although I like Strider a lot, I'm waiting for Vergil...

Damn, I can't believe how low Striders health is. That Wesker counter finished him off when he still had a good chunk of health.

Maximilian's always got great insight. I'm hype for ultimate! Was that a new costume or just another alternate color for Spiderman?

Does the general health nerf make sense?

I mean, top players could pull off insane combos in vanilla, is everyone getting killed with a single combos and a hit in UMvC3? Or does this build simply lacks damage balancing?

@vileeighty its a new costume but it may just be an alt, being that all of spideys outfits are different costumes. thats his fantastic four outfit.

Would be funny if Phoenix got a health nerf

She did, xera:

At the end of the vid, Wesker does his back air grab and it leaves the opponent directly under him. I thought they said it was nerfed to send the opponent clear across the screen?

i wanna see some dr. strange!!!

@5,7: It seems a bunch, if not all characters are getting additional on-disc alt color schemes. Spidey's Fantastic Four/Future Foundation outfit is new, Magneto has a new black/purple variant, Hulk has a new variant on his green/purple scheme, etc.

Actually...she is.

Hmm, 650,000 HP? Probably to make up for all of his special moves.

@6

Again, it is NOT a general health nerf.

Not every single character got a health reduction. It's mainly a majority of the high-tier killers that did. Characters like Wolverine, Akuma, Wesker, and some others. And then other high-tier characters like Taskmaster, Dr. Doom, She-Hulk, Dante, and Tron have gotten NO mention of getting a health nerf in any reported list of nerfs.
Same goes for other characters like Ryu, Iron Man, Captain America, Spencer, and others; no health nerfs reported.

You all can stop overreacting now.

this maximilian guy is completely underestimating what strider could do. Oroboros are a guaranteed open thru unblockable setups. and he looks like he has a really solid runaway with some good assists as well as good pressure, kinda like magneto. I think his health is gonna end up being fair. MARK MY WORDS

Max is a heavy Strider supporter and mained him in 1 and 2, and recognizes the faults and what needed to be improved and what is OP, so he's not underestimating jack.

Lol @ 9:11 Taskmaster OTG Hyper then aerial XFC into OTG Hyper again. That's gonna be used a lot I bet.
