Updated: Many additional impressions have been added into this story and more are coming, so keep checking back.• You can now X-factor in the air.
• Phoenix can only have one action per jump... meaning one fireball then she floats down.
• Characters now say something upon entering the screen when the previous character died.
• Many of the returning cast has new moves, or moves that act differently, (Ryu's Hyper Fireball now bounces off of walls, Taskmaster and Spencer are shown with new moves.)
• Ghost Rider has at least 2 special moves that OTG, and his two level one supers appear to OTG. His level 3 super is a grab where he uses the Penance stare on you.
• Strider is the first character to have two level 3 supers, (Ragnarok, and the Ouroboros.) Most of his moveset from Marvel 2 was shown. His robot animal super OTGs.
• Firebrand's level 3 appears to summon a computer controlled doppleganger firebrand to assist.
• Hawkeye's level 3 super OTGs. He fires off Antman, who hits the opponent, then grows in size and gives the opponent the biggest Monty Python boot known to man. Hawkeye has different arrows he can fire depending on the button pressed (frozen shot, poison shot, piercing shot, triple arrow, scatter shot, and net shot are shown.)
• Wolverine's Berserker Slash is not invincible and slower.
• Viewtiful Joe has the "Slow Dodge" move now. It's a special move that's super cancellable. In the Viewtiful Joe games, if you activated Slow and you got attacked, you'd dodge.
• Magneto has a new special move where he sucks you in with magnetism. Gravitation magnetizes the opponent. Repulsion pushes them away. Attraction pulls them towards you. His air-to-ground dash is slower now.
• Akuma's Hurricane Kick Assist doesn't knock down anymore, the opponent will flip out.
• Ryu can charge up his fireballs and they fly so quickly you can barely see them on screen. Charging can be done by holding down the button, like in Street Fighter X Tekken. A fully charged fireball will explode on contact, causing a wall bounce. He can also charge his Shoryuken now. Ryu can cancel his overhead with special moves now.
• Taskmaster has a new move called the Charge Sting. It impales the opponent, can combo into it. It appears that he can grab after his Charging Star move now.
• Dormammu's Flame Carpet OTG now pushes the opponent very far away. Much harder to combo from, even with an assist.
• Wolverine has a new move where he does a bunch of slices at close range, with the odd shoutout to "Swiss cheese." This attack is similar to Chun-Li's lightning legs, except it's with his claws. He does not get a relaunch after a dive kick now.
• Storm has a move that pulls in the enemy and pushes them away with wind.
• Spencer has a new move in the air that goes straight down taking the opponent with him.
X-factor in the Air. Now its going to be impossible to get chipped when coming in now.
Ryu also has a timer Hyper. In the trailer, his eyes glow all blue and there's the timer over the super. This is also what makes his Hurricane Hyper all crazy at the end of the trailer.
I think it's him using the Satsui No Hado, but another person mentioned it might be him using the power of nothingness.
(WOLVERINE HAS NEW MOVE - LIGHTNING LEGS, EXCEPT WITH HIS CLAWS!
From SRK:
"Notes –
- Ryu’s bouncing beam hyper
- Magneto cancelling something weird looking into Shockwave
- Storm using the wind to suck in Akuma like Rachael from BlazBlue
- Viewtiful Joe using a dodge move
- Spencer’s new dive attack")
I hate phoenix but I think they should have left her one combo and she's dead snap her in and whoop her people can't understand that she has like 420,000 health or something that's absurd I liked her the other way challenges are nice people are scared it's ridiculous
Also with everyone getting new moves, I pray to God that Cap'n finally gets the OTG he so desperately needs.
All I want is good online play, or I'm not interested
woooooo! thinking about my haggar, strider, nemesis teammmmm right nowww! i dig these ideas especially x-factoring in the air, i think that's huge and plays towards the do anything in mahhvel keed.
Yay Viewtiful joe im gonna be honest though Strider looks pretty Powerful almost too just looking at his gameplay his mixups seem even easier to do Ghost Rider doesnt really seem all that powerful he just really has long range thats pretty much it gonna add em to my team though maybe PW 2 but strider nah I never choose "top tiers"
Storm's new move:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BifHGs...
Also, Ryu, VJoe, Magneto, and Spencer's new move are seen in the main trailer. Taskmaster can do his counter as a normal move...I think...
looks like capcom copies the move from BB's Rachel. i didn't say there is anything with copy from another game.
@ 7 yeah, ryu definetely has a new super, the power of nothingness! his hadoukens and shoryukens look nice charged up too. I saw him to the shinkuu hadouken on stream and it was a beam, so I'm also gonna say it buffs up his supers (off the wall shinkuu hadouken and super huge shinkuu tatsu).
Those Magneto changes just made me think he needs his own Gigantic Tager Buster.
Anyway, I wonder what moves Zero and Ammy will be getting, if any.
Ouroboros are lvl 3? Well, Strider confirmed for low tier.
Exchange Glitch... Meaning She-Hulk's butt slam into a relaunch?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrkyFx...
New Japanese Iron Man Combos from that obsolete MvC3.
Glad they nerfed Phoenix. Now people can't spam fireballs all day in the air.
I hope hulk's overhead fierce hitbox gets nerfed that hit box is ridiculous.
Erm, for the people talking about the Black+Purple Magneto new alt, it's not all black, like I said earlier. Doom and a number of other characters have some new alt colors, which we'll see more of tomorrow.
WHY IS ORBS A LEVEL 3? Dammit Capcom, any super that has a timer countdown should not be that expensive.
Awesome. I'm hoping Hsien-Ko and the other ladies in my team will get a boost too. They're making good characters better, why not make my weak, slow little Lei-Lei a little better too. :)
I know people hate Phoenix, but I feel like toning down her level 3 X-Factor should have been enough. I mean, if Sentinel can still blast those beams with a single button, why can't she "shot. shot. shot."? One shot and she goes down? Weird.
I swear to JeezusChristo if they made Dante any better. He t'was annoying enough as it is. One smack from ANY hit and BOOM into a combo.
On that note, no mas female characters? What the eff? But we get a lawyer and a raccoon... (I love Phoenix Wright---but never thought he'd fit in---)
Anyway, I'm excited. Too bad I have to wait until November.
awww poor ole DHC glitch is gone. I see many team changes in the coming future.
x-factor in the air is going to get so many people raped.
-they took away the dhc glitch and that will hurt players like deadpool,x-23, modok.
Well wolverine gets nerfed, but people will just jump on strider to replace him. Now you have to worry about a even faster and multiple 50/50 mix up. Good luck with that.
No DHC glitch means having to fight full on, :) I love it. No running away fireball'n phoenix until she gets 5 bars :) I love it. They are making the game super fair for all characters... Not that I ever changed MINE. Just saying, it gets annoying seeing the same team combinations that people see tournament players play. And TRYING to do the same exact stuff. What happen to being creative? What happen to picking your favorite characters and making them work? What happen to fun? Thanks Capcom for Ultimate MvC3. ;D
Crap now I need to learn combofiend's she-hulk's relaunch. What happend to Hulk I have not heard anything about him yet
Phoenix: one action per jump? Damn, I understand she needed a nerf but this just destroys her game. At least give her two so she can cover her teleports.
I'm glad Akumas hurricane kick is now less powerful.
Now people can actually show whos got skills and who doesn't.
I like the new style.
Because it's lame that the character actually wins for you and not you using the character. Sounds pathetic.
@CharlieKenSon
SRK had a vid with mad beast that shows it is no joke. ABC madbeast is huge damage if you know combos and if they block you can do arrow kicks over and over and it is basically a block infinite except it builds meter and does a lot of chip. Do it with x factor and you get nuts chip. Like chip thor all the way out chip. advancing guard can mitigate the effect but you can mix him up if they try that after all one flick of the stick is a crossup. Mad beast is not bad just high entry level. dirtnap can be an inescapable kill on a character jumping in give it a rest on it being bad.
Wth happen to my she hulk? Any info or vid about her changes?
Fools! If you think fireballs was all you had to worry about wait until Phoenix Proves that was the least of your worries...........I'm personally happy the nerf turned out to be that instead of the features I thought they would take away the DP feathers which is what makes level 3 factor so deadly for her!
@Teapo
What are you talking about? Who's mad beast? what? You just confused me..
Phoenix is still going to be over powered she has to be her life is too small and the handicap that put on the team demands that she be almost unstoppable.
While Uroboros is LV 3, it seems that it last a lot longer than it did in Mahvel 2. This is from memory though. Plus, a lot of strider players would spam it consecutively to continue the pressure. Someone should time the difference between em.
Tron assist is not invincible anymore.
Looks like Wolverine is horrible now (Capcom likes to exaggerate with the nerfs..)
Ghost Rider seems very viable tbh, very long range combo's. Guess we will have to see.
I don't remember is somebody has mention it before, but I know it has been mentioned before, People complaining about how capcom milks people all the time. As capcom might have probably been the first people to have started the this trend, they are definitely not the only people doing this. The same people that complain about capcom re-selling the same game with different features will turn around and sap up all the different Call of Duty 2 releases from activision and The Different Halo releases from Microsoft and Bungie. Hell, even namco does it with their TALES OF games. It is too late to try and boycott this trend as it has been firmly placed into the business now, and you'll just be missing out on newer, most likely better content on the game. If you wanted to boycott this trend of re-releasing games then you should of done it when they kept releasing different types of SF 3 and SF 2. Either you just accept it and try to enjoy the new content or just stop playing video games all together, because honestly, it isn't just fighting games that are doing this, the entire video game business is doing it.
@87 how did you not mention EA sports with Madden and thier other games that just update the roster every year and charge 60 dollars
Hi fellas, just got off the phone wit an insider..phew! the gaming biz is sad and we consumers are just dollar bills. First of all MVC3 was trial or error project hence the lack of some major guys e.g strider,ghost rider...it was unfinished but released to the hungry consumers, remember d traces of Dr Octopus? where is he in UMVC3? now UMVC3 xters announced.
Strider = finally released to us , so they can sell the new product,gimmick that has worked from ppls responses e.g( i hate capcom for milking us consumers..but i will buy it)
Hawkeye = marketing gimmick for the 2012 avengers movie, dude is taskmaster with slight change and stupid level 3.
ghostrider = fan favorite to lure us back, with the fact that Dormamu was a success too encouraged that.
firebrand = a different and fresh addition to the roster.
Now the leaked xters, take this with a lil salt ..lol..cough (clears throat). Capcom leaked them!! yep! to put everyone of their backs! some of the xters wont make it to the game. e.g the rat with the Gun is 50/100 chance , phoenix 100 percent in it, released to encourage his fans to pre order,vergil is zero that is a pic of dantes costume..lol.. iron fist is 20 /100 chance, frank west is 100 , nemesis is in too, marketing for new resident evil game( smart dudes) the rest no info yet..but Mega man and Onimusha xters are not goin to be in the game..cos of Daddy inafune who has left capcom..now i leave with a question..whats the difference between the real mvc posters and the leaked ones? one love fam
please could yall have spectator mode now? for the love of god?
i saw a few things in the last streaming by capcom unity today, hope somebody can be use this information:
* I saw Chun-li charging Kikoken. I think the move has now the same properties has Ryu Hadouken, I THINK.
* Ryu's BnB with joudan sokotou do more damage
* Somebody has saying around the web that Gustaff fire nerf. I don't have a exactly source
And about the other stuff:
* Xfactor has a different light effect. Now you come a little dark and the red light of x-factor comes up more faster.
* the team aerial change effect is now different. The chars go cover with a blue aura like TvC.
I cannot believe they nerfed Dorm's flame carpet; that is beyond retarded. So you're telling me that someone dumb enough to attack Dorm with an active flame carpet is now going to get rewarded for playing dumb? Gotcha. NO! They should eat a free combo (and even then it's not a guaranteed free combo just because they get caught in the flame carpet)! SMH
I kind of think Strider's Orobouros should be a 2 level super, so that we have some semblance of a lockdown trap when partnered with Doom and his rocks (which hopefully they buffed a little). Three just seems like overkill. He would be the first one and maybe only one to have a 2 level super.
Can't wait until tomorrow to get more change info with the characters and see who got buffed/nerfed.
With Phoenix's pathetic 420k health, did she really need a nerf? Now, her rush is gone because she can no longer cover her air fireballs with a follow-up teleport.
The reason Ouroboros is level 3 is because it lasts a really long time. Sure, costing so much meter definitely reduces its effectiveness, and it certainly won't be as dominating as it was in MvC2, but it's a small price to pay for such a good hyper.
Anyone that thinks that making it a level 3 is all it takes for Strider to be low tier is a fool that doesn't know sh**. Floe has already been raving about how good Strider is, even with Ouroboros being a level 3.
How about you all patiently wait for more people to figure him out before you pass judgment?
I'm not saying anything about balance until the game comes out. Phoenix was not seen by speculation to be the best character in the game; Sentinel was. Also I think that Phoenix did need that fireball nerf. Yeah she has crap health, but it doesn't matter when some characters cannot even get in to hit you.
I just read comment 100.
Her rush is gone? BY NOT BEING ABLE TO RUN AWAY AND SPAM FIREBALLS? ARE YOU SERIOUS??? If you want to fireball>teleport, learn to do it on the ground now.
This is Offtopic, but r u guys having problems to connect in MvC 3 online? Like, im trying to go to the menu online, but it says that the connection to the network has been lost, and then returns to the main menu. Just found it weird because they just annonced ultimate marvel and now marvel's online cannot b accessed
All this talk about characters that are sure to be in aside from the other 8 leaked, there seems to be no more spots to add more DLCs. I see 5 vacant slots for both sides, Shuma and Jill aren't on the character selection screen.
Who knows maybe it's just the screen for the build that is at Comic Con.
@86 Wolverine looks horrible?? Based on a few mins of game play? I just want to be clear lol Please let me know
LOl horrible decisions, air X-factor? (The design for X-factor and the life bars suckkk btw, they look crap lol) thats one of the things I didn't want to happen.
& Instead of nerfing that braindead beginner friendly air tag combo system, they make it better?..it now removes one bar from the opponent (Side) im guessing (Up/Down) still give a bar to you? Great..Stupid Capcom...Yay to 1/4th guessing chance! (I guess in SOME situations you can guess what the opponent will do like, remove a bar from Phoenix but damn..)
Im still mad they are releasing the game so soon and are milking our cash and most are OK with it too. Were paying a 100 bucks for a 60 buck game. God what cashcows and how stupid we (Including me) are
I think i saw this in the stream but...can you take chip damage now in X-Factor?!
Firebrand can continuously do his dive kick attack if blocked in the air.
@118
The phoenix nerf is actually the same nerf they gave Dormmamu at release. Pre release footage Dormmamu could do his air fireball and then air dash,fly mode or do a normal attack after his air dark hole.
Then at release if he does air dark hole he cant do another action. The nerf is fair because this rule applies to dorm and a few other chars.
http://ihogeek.com/2011/07/20/ultimat...
You can see Taskmasters new move in the first video
As a phoenix player her nerf isnt that bad. They couldve done wrose guys. Just tiger knee a homing fireball and when you hit the ground teleport after. Same as before, except you cant super jump and pop 2 off then do it and completley telegraph "HEY IM GONNA TELLEPORT," like most newbies do. Anyone half brained is gonna jump and dodge your teleport shenanigans on the way down. Now who knows if youll teleport or TK anther one. i agree with whoever said this rule applies to dormammu and a few others too. And one fireball is more than enough time to get away on a snap in jump back, shot, land tag out. You dont need to be in the air for 5 seconds. If anything be excited you can xfactor in the air now and stop alot of the anti dp strategy (if it still remains) or get chipped to death on the way in. And as for as the bar removal tac. Id just if you think you really need DP for that round just mash left anytime youre in an air combo instead of doing a 360 so you make sure you get her in with 5. Yeah, they might get a character switch with up, or build meter with down, but i guess at least you secure your bars right? Its kinda of a slight pro/con. phoenix will be fine, she will still be phoenix. If thats all they did to her (i hope) and well x factor toned down, then shes still going to be amazing. Everyone who is complaining just wants easy mode.
best quote hear "I don't think removing the DHC glitch was smart. Should have just not let it reset damage. Oh well..." well u see if the dhc glitch didnt reset set damage...then...it...wouldnt...b....the dhc glitch. But of course u can still waste a bar to carry on a combo it just wont b worth it now with scaling, im so clad that has gone. Although the x-factor looked so crappy, characters turning full red please capcom change that!!!
@131 I agree. For all but the highest quality streams, it will be difficult to see character health unless they change the bars :(
Anybody else think that there will be a Enhanced SFxT after release? I DO!!
they need to make striders orbs level 1. that's just stupid that they would even make it level 3. just shorten the timer if its a big deal to them, but Orbs is the metagame for strider since Marvel 2. what the hell man?
As far as Ouroborus being level 3..maybe there is something you can do with it that no one has found because this is a new game. Furthermore don't take this the wrong way but everyone complaining about the change in it just need to sit down and be quiet because THIS GAME IS NOT MVC2 so stop looking for every game that Capcom makes to have the same crap. You ppl do realize that you are the reason the trend of rehashing still continues. That said what the hell is up with these choices for characters. Why oh why couldn't frank west die along with rocket raccoon and few others?
seriously, who asked for rocket raccon? no one. but nitsuma.
they need to buff regular pheonix's health if they are going to force her to be more aggro, considering her health as it is now, its literally suicide without a fireball for cover. i know this is only an early version but i am not happy with that at all. it seems like people want to kill pheonix for free and capcom it seems is willing to listen to that. IF it gets a lot worse I wont mind I'll just switch to strider anyways.
The Sentry would be the best addition to this game. He would also be the anti Phoenix. Actually he would be the anti anyone...
My take so far-
Phoenix nerf was uneccesary(yea I'm illiterate)cuz before you couldn't waste any meter so your 2 characters normally die and it's 2 or 3 on Phoenix anyway heaven forbid she die without 5 bars cuz then the match is over she was badass before and fun to watch.
All the new moves awsome some nerfs I don't like balance people it's MVC it will never be balanced did everyone forget 2 omg it was unbalanced game in history probally but I think that's what made it fun
I liked the characters how they were I do like all the new moves though
All the meters and bars and the selection screen are so ugly I hope they change them because they look really dumb they were fine before they just want that new game feel
I'm excited about all the new character except hawkeye the raccoon is gonna be awsome I bet they are all gonna be awsome there ain't a character in the game who isn't cool so I have faith in that regard
Now people not getting what they want on the marvel side blame marvel they have a say in the picks and I'm sure they made those decisions to an extent on the capcom side I prefer zero myself he is way more badass so I'm ok with it but megaman is like there mascot but I really believe there is gonna be more DLC characters so before people have a nuclear meltdown just wait awhile
I really think in the long run if people keep playing and buying the DLC characters whether they use them there will be at least 60 or more characters by the time it's all said and done
They made strider's uroboros lvl 3 to prevent people spamming the super. So you'll have to use it wisely this go-round obviously.
I love the DHC glitch. hahahahaha
