Anybody watching Winterbrawl? Justin Wong just had an insane comeback on Flocker in teams grand finals.

ps. Flocker's Zero combos are absolutely insane. Also, singles starting right now!

lightning loops is the stupidest thing in umvc3 by far. i think only zero and vergil can tod like that as long as they have meter.

That's the first time I've seen those Zero loops, I barely see Zero's online at all. I played a guy at the tournament on Monday who had a Zero but it wasn't very good.

vian_siu · 19 Feb 2012 at 00:20

i will be amazed if anyone can do that online. generally combos are impossible online.

Drunzer · 19 Feb 2012 at 00:23

Yeah, luckily my team is pretty easy from an execution stand point but even still I drop stuff online that I never drop offline.

Kreeeee · 19 Feb 2012 at 00:33

It's a shame as I think the game would have been a lot more popular if there were more useable characters online other than derp wolverine, akuma, sent etc :-(

Who are you using at the minute Kree?

hey i use dante, spiderman, iron man and other high execution character online. unless i am unhappy and/or someone put the lag switch on, i dont drop too many things. and arth's running tactics works reasonably well against my spiderman, but i can counter lame him depending on his characters.

the netcode isnt as bad as people make out to be, its about the same as sf4 if anything.

EDIT: there isnt as many wesker as i thought in winter brawl, which is a good thing.

Drunzer · 19 Feb 2012 at 01:18

I've seen a few Weskers, he's still seems to be pretty popular and for good reason. Although if you remember NEC, it seemed like every single team had Wesker as an anchor so this is definitely better. I've seen a few Skrull teams, makes me think about resurrecting my Super Skrull experiment.

i just saw two players on winter brawl that are worst than anyone i have played here. they made me want to go there and beat their backside down! i am please there are a few spiderman on stream.

I don't think character online useability was what held MvC3 back.
I mean, vian can do Dante's full BnB, with jump cancelled teleports and bold move cancelled teleports.
I can do most of Magneto's combos, incl. midscreen fly dash combo, ending with multiple hyper gravs in the corner.

You can do them against each other but how many randoms do you have a stable enough connection to?

The derp team I mentioned for most games, offline it's Wolverine, Nova, Doom.

Probably the same % as in SF4.
Could it be that the way combos are done in each game differs to the extent where you notice lag more in Marvel?
eg in SF4, difficult link combos can be done without looking at the screen once you've done it 100s of times, and it becomes a short button pressing rhythm. Whereas in MvC3, combos are longer, there can be more delays between button presses, so its more dependent on timing rather than muscle memory.

Which assist do you use for nova? Do you use it when wolverine is on point?

Kreeeee · 19 Feb 2012 at 13:23

Can't remember the name now (it's a saved load out) but it's the > Direct one that extends combo's via slide+assist.

Edit: You could be right about Marvel combo's. In SFIV if there's a little lag, my 2 framers still ALWAYS hit, in MvC3 I think my combo's vary based on pressing a button when the opponent is at a certain height (Doom loops are a perfect example) and I notice lag completely ruins that.

Ok I need serious help (no pun intended).

I decided to start (yes you read correctly

) playing this game today... did some missions, tried to do an online game and I got my bum handed to me in about 10 seconds flat.

Any tips on how to get into this game? I need a totally different mindset with this compared to SSF4.

Start with Wolverine as your main character, he is by far the easiest to play.

You need to learn a BnB combo for each of your characters to start with, and movement is massively important in this game.

A good starting team is Wolverine (slash), Dante (jam), Sentinel (drones), and learn these very simple combo's (you can move onto assists, DHC's, better combo's etc later):

Wolverine: d.l m h s jm jm jh l+s d.h h s jm jm jh l+s qcb.super
Dante: (dd.s (teleport) jh m h s OR d.l m h s) jh qcf.l h s jm jm jh qcf.h qcf.super
Sentinel: jh/s d.m s jm jh js qcf.l qcf.super
