Ok just had a quick go at this...

Oh.... ****.

Is this manic or what? Totally different pace to SF4. I think if I went back to SF4 after a few weeks of playing this, it will seem so much slower in comparison.

I think the games mechanics are simpler but its more about muscle memory combos.

Am I right in saying that this game seems more forgiving timing wise? (i.e. you can buffer more attacks etc?)

You can't get much simpler than SFIV game mechanics. this is a lot more complex. You have KFC to consider, team switching, heath regen, assists, unblockables, meter usage... SFIV is such a simple game that most fighters are a lot more complex.

Every character has very easy "dial-a-combo's" that do 700-1300k damage. The difficulty in MvC3 is not learning combo's, it's in not getting hit by them.

Hyv, you on tonight?

So far I would say that in terms of learning curve, this game is easier and the combos are easy to do i.e. the game mechanics are easier. I wasnt refering to stratgies in my comparison earlier. As to the other factors you listed, I have no idea as I have not play MvC3 enough, but I guess having a 3 vs 3 battle will yield a much higher number of permutation strategies compared to SF4

Learn to hold block or something?

Kreeeee · 17 Feb 2011 at 20:20

I wish everyone would block, free chip and unblockable wins

Cavallino · 17 Feb 2011 at 20:36

Which reminds me, is there a parry system/counter system in MvC 3?
(I've literally played about 10mins of this so not had enough time to discover. Tbh I was being dazzled by the array of combos I was pulling off).

Overmostheads · 17 Feb 2011 at 20:36

I'm pretty sure come characters have counters if I'm not mistaken. Wesker I think has some counter-parry moves.

Kreeeee · 17 Feb 2011 at 20:45

Not really. you can pushblock away from block strings, but not avoid the unblockables.

My first ranked match and I made an Akuma, Dante and Wesker chap nerd rage quit on me.

Dark_Angel · 17 Feb 2011 at 21:37

After some practice last night, I've won about 30 + random games in a row tonight using several different teams against different players.

Meh. It's okay, but I'm not "super" excited about the game.

Cavallino · 17 Feb 2011 at 21:40

Compared to SSF4?

Overmostheads · 17 Feb 2011 at 21:43

I like it, there's just a lot I don't understand at the moment.

Kreeeee · 17 Feb 2011 at 22:14

Not many people do. As Dark Angel has shown, just jumping in with random characters and spamming the magic series will get you far at the moment.

Dark_Angel · 17 Feb 2011 at 22:38

I do know some stuff, from previous games and my practice.

Though I'm using joystick, I prefer pad so that's not really helping any. Still, able to get a bit of tri jumping and various other tactics in.

Arthur and amaratsu are annoying to fight against though :/

Amaratsu is surprisingly awesome. I didn't really know what to expect though.

Artheas · 17 Feb 2011 at 23:47

I use Amaterasu.

I only use type C(H) with him/her/it, and spam the ice shots. When they get close, spam towards + H.
Should work for a while until everyone learns how to play

I will ask you guys in a week or so what you think of this game, once you have had a proper chance to get into it.

sc(+)pe · 18 Feb 2011 at 00:21

Never got a chance to try out many of the characters tonight but I did enjoy Arthur. Not gonna get much time on this until next week unfortunately.

iamtheoneneo · 18 Feb 2011 at 09:40

played some more last night, completely dont know what to make of the game really.
its not better than mvc2 thats for sure.

my biggest gripes are the roster - half the cast are useless just filler. wheres ruby? wheres cable? wheres bloody ken!?
i dont want 500 res evil characters thanks.......

the last boss is a bitch aswell , last night i wiped them/him out without using a continue then on my next two playthroughs couldnt do it at all and raged. wtf?! seems in the opening battle with the duo , if you get caught in the middle of them you might aswell give up then as you take monster damage.

i just think the games a bit too mushy and lacks significant bite...but still il keep on playing it, but i think ultimately the 2nd one is a much much more playable and enjoyable game.

argh seems like my gamestation order didn't arrive today

maybe it's lost in the post
