Marvel vs Capcom 3

Pheonix IMO is still more balanced, people just need to learn to snapback and the fact that she has the most ridiculously lowest health in the game should cancel out the fact that X-factor Dark Pheonix is broken, just a bit more than Sentinel's damage.

[Anakinstepwalker]

not to brag but as of today i have 100% missions completed, felicia and ammys took forever because they are hard sequences. has anyone else did them all besides me???

[ddr_f4n]

I only bothered with Wolverine as he was easy to use thanks to his quick attacks, not as complicated patterns and etc (that and I use a lot since he's on my team :V)

Might try others though.

I need Jills 10th, Doom's 9th, two of arthurs and X-23's then im done

Felicia first one I finished but finished ammys last week only cause mission 7 was screwing with me

[Wyde]

I've done all missions but Tron's 9th. It's been bugging me since forever ago.

On another point, I'd actually consider picking up Phoenix if her health wasn't so low and she could NOT become Dark Phoenix. She honestly seems like a fantastic character in her own right, but all her other features feel too forced for me: I honestly feel as if not playing Phoenix for LV3XFDP is "wrong" as a result. I almost want to petition for an alternate Phoenix that doesn't transform and has a somewhat legitimate health bar.

Also, I'm going out on a limb to predict that in the future, Phoenix may get nerfed somehow. What would people think of her if, for example, she could not use X-Factor while in DP mode?

seriously i think she will be nerfed in the near future as well. i dout sentinel will be the only one. im sorry but even though i use her, its just to cheap to have dark phoenix and x factor if u jump and shoot homing shots u cant lose and very few characters have a move to stop her while shes air bound. it would be nice if she couldnt transform and her health bumbed up to 800,000 from 420,000. hmm maybe mvc3 would be a better environment without x factor

[Wyde]

I've been reading up on the online hyper guide and now I'm starting to think the simplest and most ideal solution for all these potential balance problems would simply be to nerf X-Factor itself. Boosts in speed and attack power vary from character to character, but apparently LV3XF can give anywhere between a x1.5 to x2.3 attack multiplier which I now realise is utterly insane. Dark Phoenix can pour out insane damage just from chip already, and she gets x2. The concept and the uses of the X-Factor system are something I honestly find interest, but I now believe the numbers are far too high, especially for some more than others.

[ddr_f4n]

Yeah, I like the idea for the healing, but not the fact that it gives you too much of a damage increase. Needs to be toned down a lot.

[darkshark]

So I haven't really played this since it came out, but after reading through the last few pages it seems like nobody really uses Akuma in their team. Does he suck now? In pretty much every fighting game he's ever been in, I've been able to absolutely wipe the floor with him, usually without even being hit. I'm guessing this isn't the case anymore?

capcom wins end of story lmao

alot of ppl do use him i come across.hes a really good character, his spin kick goes thru every move except haggars assist. and hes even cheaper with x factor. trust me akuma got a major upgrade from mvc2 to mvc3

[darkshark]

That's what I like to hear, I just bought an X-Box (about time eh?) So I'll probably pick this up in the next few days and attempt to kick some ass.

You shoulda went with the PS THREEEEEEE

Free internet bro, and I could finally have some to play with :<

And yeah, Akuma is A LOT better now, from being bad in MvC2 to be Awesome tier in MvC3. His Tornado Kick is pretty brutal in general x.x He even had an infinite with it before the patch came out.

I've played PS3 a few times and the games are always stuttery garbage, with a few exceptions like the Uncharted games and other PS3 exclusive titles.

[darkshark]

I was reluctant to even buy the xbox really, I don't play console games much anymore. And almost anything worth while that's released on ps3 is released on PC too.

I GREATLY prefer the PS controllers over anything else for fighting games though.

From what I've played so far, and also read into, Akuma, Wesker, and probably Storm are going to be my lineup. Any drawbacks to these characters with whatever this new patch did?

Besides them getting rid of Akuma's infinite, none that I heard of. Wesker is really awesome if you know how to use his teleports well, into a lot of mind games. Problem is that Akuma and Wesker has low health, I think Storm does as well IIRC.

No, Akuma is top tier for sure. His tatsu assist has mad priority. He is overall a good character.

for a character like wesker his health is decent if i remember correct its 900,000 or 950,000 which is alright. its actually more then sentinel now. highest is thor now at 1,250,000

Buy me a PS3 and ill go on whenever you want XD

But I think x-factor should be nerfed and advanced guard be like parrying.

P.S. How about xbox controller d-pad for Jills 10th..it helped me with a few trials since i aint spending 100+ on a pad
