Using Chris Redfield's Grenade Launcher hyper to negate beams

Posted by Catalyst — March 28, 2011 at 6:03 p.m. PDT

A video demonstrating how you can use the first part of Chris Redfield's Grenade Launcher hyper to negate some beam moves in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was posted by CarparkUA. Chris has some really damaging follow ups afterwards as well.

Only person that really looked useful against was Storm since he did it after seeing storm start up hers. Against the other 2 he had to do his first and they tried to punish it.

@MALDA: Didn't they say AE wasn't coming to consoles BECAUSE it was deliberately unbalanced?

...Weird that we have MVC3 then huh. XD

OH MAH GAWD CHRIS IS, L13K, TOTALLY HAXORZ AND NEEZ REMOVAING.

Lavama said on March 28, 2011 at 6:15 p.m.

In all reality, this is pretty unbalanced. I predict the fall of Magneto! FOR HE HAS LOST!

I need to look out for that next time. Good find.

It looks that way, but it's cause Iron Man's takes longer to go into the super flash animation. You could see the Proton Cannon start to fall, and then Chris does his super.

situational moves only seem useful for storm. People crying about balance when it probably wont effect them.

While Ironman he had to do random super at the same time as iron man or a bit before. Doubt anyone could predict it on a pro-level.

And random super fail punish from akuma

Who would have thought this would work? It makes no sense to work. It's like if Sentinel's Drones was completely invincible to projectiles because he shoots stuff out.

Knowing Capcom...it probably is.

@#3 and #10
Exactly, looks kinda impractical because you almost have to predict your opponent's hyper for this to work. Looks useful against Storm, though.

That seems like a glitch to me.

@14
It is a Bug/Glitch

There's some property to Chris' Hyper that makes his first grenade totally negate the entire hitbox for the beam hypers, and that isn't exactly the "reason" to using that Hyper, let alone having an adverse effect on the opponent's Hyper.

What should happen is the first Grenade taking a hit or two from the beam, then Chris getting pelted by the rest of the Hyper. I wouldn't be surprised if they patch this.

It's useful againts storm the most because her hyper is designed for chiping which almost all Storm players will try to do because it's free damage. With this, this makes Storm long range game almost non existant brining to fight closer to Chris.

However Storm can Whirlwind H into Hail Storm for free chip> Chris can't do nothing because he is in block stun so it's not totally free.

I like this! I don't use Chris (yet), though. Too bad it's a glitch.

@ 17

I think any game with bugs or glitches that are sold to consumer for full need top have $1 sent back to them for being LAZY or we can just not buy their next products until discounted.

You won't put up that video that shows off MODOK but you can put up this really stupid Chris Video on the Front page? Get out of here with that cdrap Cataclysm man.

Be quiet.
He's just underused like Felicia.

For those complaining about this all you have to do is not randomly beam hyper as much. Donezo hit confirm your stuff.
