My thoughts on MvC3

   Marvel vs Capcom 3 has been out for a month now and their been lots of talk about many things and I going to get in to on this post. MvC3 is a fun game that can provide fast gameplay w/ your favorite character but if you want to be good, then you want synergy w/ your team. I personally based my team around Amaterasu since Okami was a awesome game and I wanted to rep the goddess. It can also be frustrating at times when 1 mistake leads to you losing and you keep losing like 5 straight but it is like that sometimes.

    Capcops, err I meant capcom released a update today to fix and balanced some things.

• Sentinel now haves 905,000 health from 1.3m
• Hagger/ Spencer hyper glitch fixed (it was fun while it lasted)
• Akuma's Infinite is gone

and some more you can check here or check this vid by Desk.

  
     Before I go on, I recommend you check out the Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Hyper Guide where you'll find tons of info for starters to vets and constantly being updated. Also check out Trag13's Youtube Channel to check out nifty combos for your characters not to mention he's helping the the hyper guide mention above. Now their's things that get ppl so mad that they rage and end up hating the game so here's my thoughts and advice on some.

The Keep Away Game - Characters like Arthur and Dormammu (as can other characters like Sentinel) can keep you in your own zone away from them. It can be very frustrating when they tossing their projectiles at you and using doom or sentinel assist to cover spaces they can't cover well but it's very rewarding when you finally get in and they can do almost nothing about it. Instead of bitching, quiting and sending pm's basically saying you suck, be a man and fight. I say get knowledge to blow them up.

Sentinel - Nobody like him due to his power, cheapness, and hp but news of today's patch is they NERF his hp to 905k. This makes me think the overwhelming complanting about him got to capcom and i can tell you he did not deserve it. He's a mutant hunter, built to fight and withstand the mutant forces so the 1.3m hp was just. As for what to do against the machine, This video will help you and also, Don't FUCK w/ Sentinel while he's in X-Factor. 



Above all else... DEAL WITH IT! He's not going anywhere.


Phoenix - Another hated person despite having the Lowest HP "420k" in the game. Yes, she's gonna play a mix of keep away and teleport mix-ups but here's what you do to kill her before she gets 5 meter and goes Dark Phoenix, snap her in and kill her. Sure it's not that simple but just know 1 hit you land on her can lead to her doom. Another strategy is that if she is the last person remaining but has 5 meters, you could run away but the flaw in it is the time. MvC3 time isn't normal like 1 seconds = 1 sec, but more like 1 sec = 3-4 seconds real time. Recently Final Round ( a Major fighting game tournament held the the ATL ) someone ran away for phoenix for 60 game seconds so it can be done. If you unfortunately get her turned into Dark Phoenix, you can try to control it by checking this guide or find your own way but for phoenix users that are are super quick, you can teleport out of the akuma one atlease. One final note, She do not need a damage nerf, she can destroys planets. Nuff said.


X-Factor - This is the game chancing ability. It was not in any of the other series but it was to some extent in TvsC. For ppl that don't know what X-Factor is... 

• It's a 1 time use (per match) when activated
• Increased damage by 100% to 300% (depending on remaining characters)
• No chip damage
• Speed increase
• Gain red health back
• Canceling normal and hyper combo into more normal and hyper combos
• Canceling whiffed normal and hyper combo to avoid being punished (ie: Bionic Arm being blocked)

That's alot of stuff X-Factor can do and for that, most hate it. Top players wish it was either nerfed or have an option to turned it off for tournament. I gotta say tho, I kinda agree but only for damage to be 50%, 100%,  200% and that chip damage is half during the duration.


If you can't adapt and handle it then this is not the game for you and as for the rest of you, I'll see you online. maybe...
