Evil Geniuses' Justin Wong did a very insightful interview with his sponsor, where he talked about which characters he thinks are being slept on in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, specifically naming X-23, Hawkeye, Viewtiful Joe and Super-Skrull, among others.Slackaholicus: Zero and Vergil have also been gaining popularity lately for character picks. Do you think we’ll continue to see them picked on so many teams? What other characters will we see as common picks?
JWong: I personally think Zero and Vergil are the top two characters in the game. Everyone will always have Vergil on the team just because he can always kill a team just like an X-Factor 3 Dark Phoenix. People are picking up Zero more now and being more consistent with lightning loops and mixups, so that’s something to be scared of in the future. Another common character that I can see people playing is definitely Doom. He is the king of TACS and building meter. The number one thing about Doom is that all three of his assists are pretty much top tier.
How are they being slept on when we've seen all of those characters in tourneys, except for X-23 as of late?
I used to think Joe was low tier until I saw Royal Flush back in Vanilla and thought: What's so bad about this character? Then Dieminion and Kusoru went on to show he could be argued as upper mid in Ultimate.
I also noticed Justin was getting purposefully hit by missiles against Chris G to avoid getting juggled.
@ Noizy: DapVIP won Mass Appeal Madness 2 with Dante/X-23/Ironman: http://www.twitch.tv/stlbarwarz/b/354... 5 hour mark for Grand Finals.
X-23 is amazing, and that's why I main her <3
So much answers for things.
Except zoning. X-23 has problems dealing with that.. But that's why you keep working on your character! Been maining her since vanilla and haven't looked back. (Even as Vergil completely beats her ass..)
UMvC3 copied MvC2's worst feature, a lot of characters that aren't viable.
#3 Actually in Nor Cal (SOUTH BAY!!) she has won two tournaments recently!! Here's one GF and the other one will be posted shortly
@1
100% agree with you. Every time Wong opens his mouth, he states the obvious.
@4
I'm pretty sure everyone noticed everybody getting hit by missiles to prevent themselves from being juggled. I mean, they wouldn't shut up about it on stream now would they?
@ Goose: Every character is viable, but they have limits. We just saw Shuma in Top 8 of a major. That's NEVER happened in 2 years. The difference between MvC 2 and 3 is that you could only pick 6 characters to even get out of your pool, whereas you can place with low tier in this game, but you probably won't win.
I play about the lowest level of Marvel there is... but I've always played X-23 and Hawkeye has always been one of my top choices. I like to zone out and build meter with him until I get three bars and a kill. Then dirt nap as X-23 and do nothing because I suck :/
I just woke up so I have no idea what else I was gonna say... I guess, hopefully Laura starts to shine. Here's a little tip with X-23 and Doom: With plasma beam you can set up a left and right with her feints. You can stay in front and attack or go behind with the dive kick
@ 11 The early years of Marvel 2 had variety as well. It'll be just like Marvel 2 in a few years.
X23 easily top 10 in my opinion just that no one good has picked her up and stayed with her. I remember Justin picking her up once but he only ever did her basic basic stuff. Even recently i saw his X23 again and he was only doing 600k combos wasting a meter when she can easily hit 700k+ meterless.
@21 Only someone with godlike execution can hit X23's optimal combos, which is why she's slept on. Even RayRay who we all know has insane execution says he can't consistently hit her optimal combos.
As a Skrull player from day 1, I can say that the only reason more people don't play Skrull is because of how "random" he can be. Not to mention wave dashing can result in an unwanted Tenderizer.
@4 PPL were purposely getting hit cuz it resets your options and your able to do more like call assists at super jump height or go back into flight mode with a character that has flight to waist morrigans double meter.
"Unless you're a character loyalist"
I'm not trying to hate or troll or give off negative vibes but here's a typo error :|
Other South Bay X-23 Grand Final: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHtqJS...
Thanks for watching the last one, everyone!!
My team; Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, Sentinel.
X-23 has low health, will get the touch of death from a ton of current top player teams. Stalker character with not the best options. High damage is hard to get unless proper assists. She has potential.
Same with V. Joe, low health. Keep away, so hard to get that hit on him. If good assists he is pretty solid.
Hawkeye, amazing character. When up against a match in his favor, it will be in his favor greatly. Those with teleports make him stupid to play.
