IFC Yipes Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 top 6 character tier list

Zero nude

BUT WHERE'S HSIEN-KO?!

probably the most accurate straightforward tier list.

Yipes, so smart!!!! Why bother myself with some ASSISTANTS. Very accurate though.

lol Yipes using the K.I.S.S approach.

Best banlist.

Everyone go home and re-analyze your banlists. If it doesn't look like this, it's bad.

People get on champs case for ignoring half the cast but this earns praise just cuz its yipes. #unbiased

I disagree on Morrigan, as she is not that good when on her own or placed in teams without Doom Missiles, whereas every other character on that list makes any team they're on better. Would replace with Magneto, maybe Nova or Wesker.

Nah I think the only reason this one isnt being judged as harshly is only because Yipes never said that xyz character is useless, this list says top 6 and thats it.

really needs magneto right next to Spencer and it would be perfect.

Strider was average without Doom rocks in MvC2, but was in top tier (not god) because he goes well with Doom. No reason why Morrigan can't be.

@10 I'd put Morrigan in the top tier of this game, too, but I don't think she's top 6, especially when Magneto is absent otherwise.

how does vergil has faults?

@12: Not motivated enough.

Surprised Magneto didn't make the cut.

@7 its not the same >.> its says top 6 so its completely different

so, the trend to over rate Morrigan has moved on to top players applying it for their tier lists, huh?

Haha straight to the point, I like it.

BTW, @7

This comes up as a legit source because the title is not misleading. It's a TOP SIX list, whilst Champ's shîtwreck of a tier list pretends to cover up the whole cast, and his only argument while doing it was to say "only top tier. Everyone else is irrelevant". So yeah, #unbiased indeed.

people who say morrigan isn't top tier without doom are funny to me. She can still zone out most of the cast, she still builds a ton of meter, and she can still open your ass up. Neither Xian or Kevin Landon use doom missiles and she still shows her top tier power. It's also about time people start putting Logan in that top tier status, He definitely is nothing but top tier.

@12 Vergil normals are so unsafe, easy to counter with Xfactor and he is a meter eater unlike Zero or Spencer. A good Zero is really hard to counter with X factor and build a lot of meter but he doesn't have the range Vergil normals have. Spencer builds all meter he needs to kill you (lol), he is safer than Vergil because he got that 1,050K vs only 850K.
We can say what makes Vergil top tier are the range of his moves, Xfactor lvl 3 (one of the best anchor), 3 godlike supers ( one for damage, one for combos and mixups and one for speed and gaining back some life) and the HARM BREAKER, it is still useful! Yes he is very good but he doesn't have anything to get out of an incoming mixup except X factor or a random that can be easily countered.

In a year this game will have less playable characters than MVC2, except MVC2 characters have more depth than 5 MVC3 characters put together.LOL

Characters who cant fight Morrigan or Zero(and a lot of chars already cant) will be useless.

LOL it's kinda funny that his opinion is the reverse of marvel 2's general tier list.
Marvel 2: Big 4 were marvel characters and capcom side had on 2 characters (strider and CapCom)
Here only 4 capcom characters and 2 marvel characters.

Yipes knows.

lol yipes

@7

On Sunday Champ did a legit list with proper care for low tier, though I'm not sure if anyone screencapped it.

Finally a reasonable top tier list.
Gotta love YIPES !..

@21
Are you a braindead?
Its growing:

Im hearing that ''whining'' for 2 years now and do you know what happened after two years?
It's now ''MORE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS''
Cause 1 year ago no one knew about Morrigan. And you were ''whining'' about how ''EVERYBODY'' pick Wesker cause he was a god tier.
See how you sound stupid?

Right now there are sick Ryu(RayRay),Modok (el gato,mexican guy), Strider, IronFist, Iron man (joker), HAGGAR (so many people), Dorm, x-23 (kubo), Spider man (mame), Hulk, Joe,Dante,Chris,She Hulk etc players.....

If you wanna talk about ''less playable character'' game, look every other games but Umvc3.

I'm just pointing out the strangeness of praising a 6 character tierlist while simultaneously trashing a more extensive one. Not to mention the fact that this top 6 is almost identical to champs top 6. But sure, no bias. Nothing against yipes but, why is this praiseworthy? What tier list doesn't have these 6 chars near or at the top of the pack.

@28
In a way the two tier list are extremely similar, but Yipes was smart enough to leave off the rest of the cast, unlike F.Champ who just threw everybody at the bottom. Also, F.Champ's Tier list was NO WHERE NEAR extensive at all. Atleast the one posted on EventHubs, he re-did it again the other night and that one looked alot better.

@27 Whats growing? Your stupidity? None of the characters you listed outside of Dorm have won a major and will never win a major. Most of those characters you listed get raped by Morrigan/Doom, which is bodying everything.

yipes get points for humor lmao

@29 C'mon. Is that really "Smart" or is that just lazy? Kinda like how F Champ was lazy with his bottom tier. At least Champ threw them up there SOMEWHERE. All I'm asking is, why is it "smart" to make a 6 character tier list consisting of characters that everybody and their mother already knew where top tier.

I mean who doesn't think those characters are top tier? Why does stating that they're top tier all of the sudden make you "smart"? Imo, it's just because people like Yipes. I like Yipes too, but I just don't see what's so brilliant about proclaiming that 6 obviously top tier characters are top tier.

@32
It's smart because it doesn't allow people to go off and ASSUME that everything below High Tier is complete garbage, especially with the comment "Everybody below high tier is irrelevant". If F.Champ left off the rest of the cast and just put his top picks, we honestly wouldn't even be having this conversation at all.

@27 didn't viscant win evo with haggar? and champ with dorm?

@33 I doubt that. If Champ released a 6 char tier list you'd probably hear what I'm saying about Yipes tier list. "Orly? Vergil and Zero are top tier? Whoopty f-ing doo. Who the f___ didn't know that already"

@34 Viscant won EVO in MVC3 not UMVC3, no ones going to win a major with haggar in 2013. How the HELL is a haggar team going to beat morrigan/doom.

@36 By having Morrigan and Doom behind Haggar? Kappa

@35
That's a totally different arguement dude...

@28
Champ sent a troll list of lower tier characters for peeps to b:tch about. I'm not bent out of shape about it but it was blatantly to get a reaction, yipes just placed top tier which is more sensible but funny at the sametime no bias (at least not from me).

Oh and frank west is top tier or will be later on on. Treat him like phoenix and you'll be fine (i think anyway).

Good to see someone has a sense of humour.

A bit surprised he didn't add Magneto's curleh mustache but hey, I'd be sick of that joke too.

What happen to Viper and Wesker, weren't they top tiers a while ago, did UMvC3 get a patch that eliminated all other playable character?

#8 Not true.. Morrigan can still be a problem without missles. Not as S tier but definitely still a threat.. Which is why she is in that position

lol No Magneto? Add him and the list is 100% accurate.

Yipes did this list using his MvC2 mentality

remember how many characters were good in the game? like 6-8
well UMvC is going the way

morrigan top tier
official

@46: Morrigan will always go on top! If you know what I mean...

Sooooo... When is somebody gonna come even close to winning anything with zero?
Flux and Mihe are the only zero players who can get anywhere.

I idolize yipes, but this list lacks magneto (especially with the easy new infinites and such). Morrigan still overrated, hoping on a patch to open eyes and end all that. And it seems people know how good doom is but refuse to give him a spot higher up. Bad neutral game? Going by that alone would take morrigan out of the top because she needs doom missiles or rush down would be a bigger issue for her and she would get smoked. Fact is if doom touches you, you're more than likely doomed (ba dum tsssssss), it also doesn't change that when you look at the top 8 and top 16 doom is on literally almost every single team, he gets even more show time than vergil. And you only ever see like 2 zeroes. There's no denying he's amazing but I still don't think he's as great as people make him out to be... But what do I know? I'm just a guy who only faces his friends and gave up on wishing to attend tournies a long time ago, soto others my opinion can't even be accepted as an opinion... It's ok, one day something will happen with this game and I'll be laughing when I'm right =)

can someone explain to me what criteria is used for mvc tier lists...i feel like so much of it depends on team synergy that the tier lists should be done with teams or broken down into an assist tier list and a point tier list...yea there are always perfects and comebacks done by single characters but to tell who is really the best depends a lot on different criteria that is hard to judge in a game like marvel....dont get me wrong im not hating on anyones list i just would like explanations instead of a graph and character icons to better understand the thought process of everyones list that always vary

no magneto makes this list entirely wrong. I don't care if he is more qualified than I am

also utility doesn't feel like a huge factor in this list outside of Doom

and I don't think vergil is number 1 in this game at all like people have been speculating. Ease of use should not factor into tier lists, and in his case it definitely is a factor.

@51 yes it should, less dropped combos equals more guaranteed kills. One of the reasons why wolverine is on this list.

Ah, this makes me proud to be a Logan player in every marvel game he's been in except mvc2. Reppin dat top tier canucklehead :)

@52 Dropped combos are because of a player's skill not the character's potential.

@43: The problem is this: Morrigan is good, one of the best. She is not better than Magneto. She is not top 6 material. She's not even as good as Doom.

add magneto: list complete.

@30
Morrigan rapes everyone?
You dont watch tournaments, are you?

The only Morrigan player who win sh-ts is ChrisG and he barely wins aganist a Wolverine (PrBalrog), Storm (Justin Wong), Dorm (Fchamp), Cviper (Marlinpie) or even aganist Yipes.

Dont you remember those guys kicked the best Morrigan player ChrisGs ass many times?
People learn to play aganist Morrigan now.

1 year ago you had no idea about Morrigan and you are sh1tting on Wesker (as god tier) and you know what?
1 year later no one is gonna pick Morrigan anymore. Someone will come up with new team/tech and you are gonna ''WHIN'' about it.

@52 Ease of use doesn't factor into a tier list. By definition a tier list assumes highest skill level.

@58 Anyone with an IQ above 10 knew Wesker had a lot of problems/bad matchups, Morrigan doesn't. And "barely" wins? Watch his matches, Chris G wins, the end. MVC2 is about as balanced as a 1 legged hooker from Tijuana.

spencer's a meter hog. I like yipes though and respect his opinion

@60 which planet are you from?

The only Morrigan who wins a few major is ChrisG.
Jwong beat him and won tourney, same goes with Marlin, Fchamp, Yipes, Combo etc.

You cant just see 5 meter front, you have no vision.
Morrigan is not future.

''Anyone with an IQ above 10 knew Wesker had a lot of problems''
Yeah like all the world and profs flaged Wesker as godtier/broken character BUT YOU.

Vergil is flawed while Morrigan isn't? wut?

The comments on this are dumber than Spencer being top 3.

None of those people "kick Chris G's ass." If that were the case, Chris G wouldn't have won 5+ straight majors he attended. He only has dropped one major to each of those players sans Marlinpie since playing his current team. And Justin Wong doesn't win because of Storm against Chris G. He wins because he steam rolls with Wolverine or makes a comeback with Akuma.

This is the top 6 IMO
6. Spencer
5. Dr.Doom
4. Strider
3. C.Viper
2. Vergil
1. Zero

Morrigan needs assists (mainly, but not limited to, Doom missiles) to be top tier since she is very weak alone that even level 3 X-Factor can't save her. Wolvy is like 8th since he has some pretty big flaws in his game as well, BUT his positives outweigh it though. Also, I think Strider is top 6 for 4 reasons:
1. Nobody plays him for some reason, so some people get confused.
2. He has decent-excellent synergy with every RELEVANT character.
3. Lv.3 X-Factor + Oroboros= Vanilla MvC3 Dark Phoenix.
4. He shuts down MorriDoom with Vajra and his other tools
