X-23's infinite loop in Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Posted — February 16, 2011 at 2:14 p.m. PST

DarkJake13 recorded video explanation of X-23's infinite loop in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. This involves using a Level 2 or 3 X-Factor, and once the timer runs out, so does X-23's ability to keep the loop going.

DarkJake13 said that this information was spotted in the BradyGames Marvel vs. Capcom 3 strategy guide, on page 196 if you want to check it out in printed form.

Glad im an X-23 user.

Definantly my weapon againts Sentinel and Dante abusers.

Cheesus said on February 16, 2011 at 2:26 p.m.

That seems a little too easy, but since it only works during X-Factor I wouldn't call it too overpowered.

Let the brokenness of the game begin!

I'm an X-23 user. Gonna make people rage quit with this one.

I don't even have the game yet and there's infinites already. Well who needs mission mode when you can spam qcf L. -_-

Osbjorn said on February 16, 2011 at 2:40 p.m.

Akuma had the same thing with his hurrican kicks. Sentinal does not need infinites cause even at level 1 x factor, his basic combo can 100%

powderedtoastman said on February 16, 2011 at 2:41 p.m.

so X-23 jumped aboard the level 3 xfactor 100% combo club.

while easy looking, is there anyway to get it set up reliably.

Osbjorn said on February 16, 2011 at 2:44 p.m.

@6
It requires x factor, it's not plausible, the start up is easly blockable. It's more worth it to pratice combos then rely on stupid gimmicks like this, wesker already has a riduculous number of setups to go into his Bnb. The game is suppose to be broken!

@ 9

It's actually very practical just as long as X-23 is the last character alive. You don't need to start with qcf light. You could do cr. light, cr. mid, and then qcf light.

At least I think so cause I thought only her hard attacks knock you into the air.

Aw yes. I knew it was a good idea to go X-23 when she was announced. I think my main team will be X-23, Wesker, and Felicia as it has been since all three were revealed.

Easy infinites, 1 combo kills,.... This game sucks.

You can hit confirm this from a regular full charge neck slicer, then start the reps. I got it up to 60 hits for 2.5million damage ;)

Firegod said on February 16, 2011 at 3:17 p.m.

wow...interesting infinate...you would think something like that would have been tested and spotted, yet maybe they left it in there for brokeness who knows.

Endgame said on February 16, 2011 at 3:24 p.m.

This game reminds me of brawl+(or brawl- I forgot), where everyone is made ridiculous powerful.

#15

Gojiguy said on February 16, 2011 at 3:39 p.m.

This is... disheartening... 2 days in and we already have a slew of infinites, loops, etc.

#16

VS said on February 16, 2011 at 3:43 p.m.

Deadpool has a loop too..... but its in level 3 Xfactor
Any combo into H quick work... then you just keep looping Quick Work. Wouldn't be surprised if there are more out there.

@#14
lol it came out the guide of all things, it was all intended.

brunorochaxx said on February 16, 2011 at 3:48 p.m.

Definitively, Justin Wong was right every time.

VS said on February 16, 2011 at 3:49 p.m.

By the way That Deadpool infinite its also in the Brady guide
(last combo on page 74)

Don't whine already, we're in the 2011, Patches does exist, SFIV had Infinite loops, surely this will be fixed.

#21

DomDaDude said on February 16, 2011 at 4:19 p.m.

@19 Adon sucks right?

#22

powderedtoastman said on February 16, 2011 at 4:24 p.m.

lol there is nothing to fix, when they put this in on purpose.

delirium said on February 16, 2011 at 4:29 p.m.

ITT people who still don't get Marvel.

#24

Osbjorn said on February 16, 2011 at 4:33 p.m.

@15
Ganondorf would like to have a word with you
@12
no it does'nt suck, it's suppose to be broken
@10
I was not aware of that, still it's just a gimmick people who rely on gimmicks tend to get beat bad
also x23 is a character that you put on point, not to save as the last character you use, level 3 x factor would be better used on a character like sentinal or dark phenoix

#25

Blood said on February 16, 2011 at 4:43 p.m.

I think some of you are completely retarded.

-You have to somehow get that move started up in the first place. If the first hit is blocked, you're screwed.
-Level 2 XFactor is very strict on the timing, Level 3 might be easier, but it wont be so easy to start this up.
-XFactor doesn't last forever. And can only be used once a match.

#26

Blood said on February 16, 2011 at 4:43 p.m.

I guess those are three obvious reasons as to why this -isn't- broken.

Effin derps.

#27

SAMURAI said on February 16, 2011 at 4:44 p.m.

@ Osbjorn

But what's the fun when someone kills you with 1 combo or an infinite while you just can't do anything about it but watch?

#28

Konfucious said on February 16, 2011 at 5 p.m.

Can someone explain level 1,2, and 3 X factor? Up until this video I thought X factor was just one thing so that's kind of throwing me off.

#29

Darkyellow said on February 16, 2011 at 5:08 p.m.

I see that players of the current generation of fighting games are complete babies. I wonder what they would do if they had to deal with the Rog. throw loop? If you rage quit at an SF2 cabinet you have a long walk of shame.

8ighty6ix said on February 16, 2011 at 5:19 p.m.

@29: Level 1 X-Factor occurs when you have all 3 characters available, Level 2 is when you have 2 characters available, and Level 1 is when you have 1 character left.

With each level of X-factor, the damage increase, life recovery, speed increase, and time limit are become greater. Level 1 X-factor lasts for 10 seconds, whereas a Level 3 will last for 30 seconds.

For all the basic info in Mvc3, check out the MvC3 Wiki.

NWAndroid said on February 16, 2011 at 5:27 p.m.

I think some people worry too much about this kind of thing. In a game where there are numerous ways to 100% an opponent, should we really be freaking out about one loop?

#32

geeman01 said on February 16, 2011 at 6:14 p.m.

wow are people here retarded or cant read? this requires level 2 or level 3 x factor for it to work. its not OP or a glitch or anything. Read people for God's sake

#33

Balloon said on February 16, 2011 at 10:18 p.m.

I hope Marvel fans understand what Smash fans go through now with all the crazy over-generalizations and assumptions based on things they have never tried themselves.

Then again, never mind.

Ethredis said on February 17, 2011 at 1:48 a.m.

@34 : That happened to the Tekken series. Easy to bash a game when we don't know anything about it.
