I hope they can get a youtube version up soon!!!
And by YouTube, I mean the one's that's not recorded by a phone or something for all the smartasses out there.
This mode is freaking kickass.
Angry Joe can suck it.
looks good so far...hopefully you can unlock new colors or some extras after completing them
That Chun-Li/Ryu parry at the end, that's very easy to jizz with.
(this is separate mode, so unlike SFxT's gems, it'll be questionable whether these things will be 'tourney legal'. Probably not.)
@23
All these dissatisfied people will more than likely end up getting it anyways.
Also all those people who revolve around tournaments, please pull your head out of your anus. They're making more content for you to have and you're complaining. I mean seriously, who complains when they get more than they asked for?
Wow this is awesome those cards are awesome this looks super fun can't wait to throw this up in the ps3
Watched the video again and noticed a few things:
-It looks like you might have to activate some of the cards like you would X-Factor.
-This said, I suspect that a lot of the cards that are passive have to be turned on like in SFxT by meeting special requirements.
-There's probably a 3-of card where you can select three of the same character (although I'm hoping this and 1v1 get there own modes with 1v1 being balanced and infinates removed).
-There needs to be a card that activates Guiles theme when you're down to your last character and you X-factor.
-And a card that uses gives your character a 5-bar Raging Demon style hyper that instant KOs on hit in place of the characters usual level 3. Except instead of the characters back being turned after the black out, it's Squirrel Girl.
So hype for this mode.
Alright, I'll admit, it looks like a solid alternate mode with a lot of depth to it. I'm just curious how the whole card system works since it was mentioned in the previous article that you collect these cards "offline"? How many cards do we get off the bat? Am I gonna have to fork over cash for good cards like the parry card?
Whoa, did anybody else notice the X-factor burst breaks combos?
Uhhh... MVC3 just got a whole lot crazier! I'll stick to SFIV thank you.
Also, the clip before the X-factor burst when Nova was hitting metallic Zero, when Nova was hitting him, it was producing no red life for Zero, meaning no tag out or X factor healing.
I like these addition, I know they aren't going to be allow for Tournament play, but they will be fun to mix and match. UMvC3 just got a lot crazier.
Wow, so this is the Heroes and Heralds Mode. I thought that it was an RPG mode. But can Capcom make this clearer for me to see the functionality of the final version?
I cant wait for HandH mode! Considering it has its own online, we literally got 2 ways to play UMVC3!
TAKE MY MONEY CAPCOM!
I'm not understanding the hype.
Sure, it LOOKED cool, but all you're going to do is play this offline/online anyway and watch as you get buried up to your neck in salt. TONS more salt than Vanilla.
Now if all that stuff was core gameplay, and not just a stand alone mode, I can see it being hype as f--k. Seeing as it isn't...I'm not all that hype for it.
haters_gonna_hate.jpg
@52
Dude, the fact that it has online makes it literally a 2nd "core gameplay" mechanic
this mode will be fun for like 2 months max...then people will realize how pointless it is and play the REAL game.
I love how they insist the SSF4 and MvC3 teams don't work together... yet are both coming out with similar "power-up" systems for their upcoming titles.
My question is, why are people who are so hype for this hating on SFXT gems so hard? It's the same thing and you can turn those off, too! If you don't wanna play with power-ups, switch modes or turn those gems off.
Good God, I'm at least glad they're doing SOMETHING right with this game. MK set the bar high for content and it's about time Capcom did something at least close to it with their fighters.
@23
cause the fg community likes the new free content with more depth then we were expecting which isn't in the core gameplay. and you dont.. but we should listening to you right? tell me how does things not look right with it? plz grow up
back on topic though, the new mode looks awesome cant wait to try it.. and the CG mmovie isn't getting any love those match up were awesome andd unexpected, Wolv vs Vergil was pretty epic
#58 VegaBisonAbel:
Yes, within a few short months, near full customization will get old and boring. The life span potential this mode ALONE has is staggering, and I know for a fact it'll keep me coming back to it. Managing my time between regular matches and this is going to be tough.
There are so many possibilities of things they could do with these it's unreal. From damage and movement speed buffs to switching out or even giving moves to characters. (for instance maybe a card that gives your characters his Sonic Boom).
There is so much ground to cover in creativity of the cards themselves, let alone teams to worth with them, good card combos... the meta game. This is huge.
@#65
Lower your expectations. This is Capcom we're talking about. There's no way free DLC is that deep.
Lest we forget the travesty that was Shadow Battle, keep in mind that we were promised AI from "top players." I have yet to play Viscant or Clockwork's AI.
@61
In SF x T you can't turn of the Gem mode & it's not it's own mode it's apart of the normal mode. Some people don't want that stuff in their battles online, In UltimateMvC3 it is it's own mode with it's own online & won't interfere with Normal mode.
@#68
I'd swear they mentioned already that you can turn it off, and even if they didn't, you can see in the trailer that they're not using gems. It'd be crazy to think there wasn't at least an non-gem filter for online games.
#69 king_e_dawg
You can turn gems off... you can even search on-line for other players who don't use gems (so I've heard). No one's forcing people to use them, but as with anything else, they just go and bitch without bothering to fully understand something.
Hell the fact that people are ragging on this doesn't even surprise me. "What's this? A new free optional stand alone mode that adds more levels of depth onto the core gameplay than imaginable? Get this gutter trash out of my face!"
thats really cool wished my marvel game had that which it should have.
Wow they give you a free mode with its own seperate online mode and all you guys do is bitch on about it being unbalanced?
Funny enough this mode is supposed to be FUN!! not made to be the next tourney mode and all the haters complaining about its lack of tourney style Stfu cos half of you dont even play tourneys.
Well I think this is a superb Idea I like it better than SFXT's Gem system cos at least this has its own mode!
Super Excited to get this mode and UMVC3!
awesome, now give us a direct feed and not some crappy hand held version which doesn't lead to shouting at the screen
DOWN IN FRONT A$$HOLE!
I'm also hoping for at least fully animated movie in ULTIMATE because after the epic ones in Marvel 3 its kinda lame just to see stils, don't get me wrong it was cool but it would be better if it was in motion
also one last thing: PARRYING FTW!!!
Parries you say. I'm in. Just don't add Gems lol.
@75 I don't even know what to say to you...
Anyways, I'm hyped this looks like a fun mode to mess around with once I find my team. I want to see Frank West already!! I can't wait till the end of the month.. I won't make it...
Also, I'm gonna laugh if Megaman isn't a Card. (If anything it
'll probably involve special canceling or something.
@9 Angry Joe could have sucked it the moment he decided to throw the same b1tch-fit everyone else did about vanilla MvC3. If you're not all satisfied at this point, then don't bother asking a company to make a certain game in the future ever again.
@90 I'm pretty sure those boxes are for the DLC characters.
@ 42 HighOnPCP
3 Things:
1. No need to cuss the haters; It's their own opinion and preference.
2. Yes this looks hyped and;
3. That saying is gettin' old.
Peace
this is kinda like the world tour power-ups in SF alpha 3. i love it.
Random question, because I might have missed this: Do we have to rebuy Jill and Shuma? And if so, where are the 2 DLC characters for this game going to go when they become available?
Also, all this information is making the wait so hard for UMvC3! This is definitely the sequel we've been waiting for! GET HYPE!!!
Everyone booing phoenix during the cg video was disappointing, I mean come on she is a video game character why do you hold a grudge against her...
Um...let me just say that Capcom is going HARD this year. Don't care what anyone else thinks. They really are trying to make up for the mistake that is 'Vanilla' MVC3, which IMO was a pretty cool mistake, but I would have gladly waited till november to get this version rather than the first in feb. Still gonna pre-order, still a first day purchase, and still one of the best fighting games around. Also here's hoping for UMVC 3D. Might buy one of those converter boxes for that lol
neat mode, I'm sure it will lead to some fun stuff to check out later on youtube
tho I'm not sure if I'd be able to enjoy playing it, it looks like a mode with random effects that MK9 has, and while it was funny the first couple of times, I was more than happy to forget about it until now
something for parties or having some fun I guess, not bad at all. And that "evo moment" at the end was a nice touch
This looks pretty cool, but is Heroes vs Heralds 2p or only 1p?
I..AM...SO...HYPE FOR THIS GAME!!!
That was just BEAUTIFUL!! The addition of the cards, the presentation, the fight clips! It literally brought a tear to my eye! My favorite characters (Dante and Vergil) are now in the game, and there's so much more content and just...a brand new look! I can even play as Galactus!? This game will now be referred to as "Christmas MvC", because it just gifted me everything I wanted when the first one hit my Playstation 3.
EXCELLENT content. It's still extremely early, but this game is looking to be the best out of any that I've come across thus far. And the Evo Moment parry (Anything Ken can do, Ryu can do. Lol) was just the icing on the cake. Whoever thought to use that as the way to introduce parrying is sick in the head....and I LOVE THEM. AMAZING, Capcom. Simply amazing.

Can someone confirm a few more? I couldnt read most of it. All in all, still stoked about Nightcrawler ability card. Teleporting Phoenix objecting everyone is just epic.
@105 Well he did a snapback just before he went invisible so it could possibly be that
is it really taht hype that they found a way to incorporate parrying that is still in fighting games. lol this mode looks fun but ill stick witht the regular bs marvel gonna give me lol hard enough already. And really thoguh i really hope there a wayyy less exploits. cause if not then dont watse time with gimmicks especiually ones that make it even more unbalanced. i think we should stay calm go "oh hey that looks cool" and wait about 2 months for pros and trolls to get a feel for it. lol
Well, I don't really like it for a Capcom fighter (this would be perfect for the next Smash Bros.) but it definitely makes the $40 dollar asking price for the game a bit more worth it
@76
As a matter of fact yes I do think that, you're talking about Capcom's way of planning? seeing that MVC3 vanilla's release was so rushed and many people complained about imbalances as well as the lack of game play modes? you really praise capcom with that effort?
"You don't think Capcom planned and started their development cycle before Angry Joe's video?"
Yes I do believe they've only came up with new characters, new stages and 1 new mode they even showed how much it was already at that time which was pretty early and made them seem ready to release it and I ask you why were the character draft so unpleasant? because they haven't done much of their market research <---- keyword
Their development cycle only went uphill and rebooted when Angry Joe made the video stated facts/feedback and it got Capcom responding not because they want to because they got owned they got caught ripping people off. Think about it; you own Capcom would you want to spend more money and lose profit gross creating new contents or just leave it have maximum profit and get away with what you done?
Yeah,man.
Awesome stuff.
