Why must I always be cursed to love the obscure characters in a given company's repetoire? [slightly poking sarcasm] I mean, do people think a lawyer who points and shots objection is that much more interesting than an inter-canon traveling pirate (Ruby Heart), Capcom's own take on a super sayian/flaming gypsy woman (Wang Tang & Rouge), or shapeshifters, one of which turns into a [tornado fang]ing dragon?! (Ryu & Nina from Breath of Fire)[/slightly poking sarcasm]

The mind, it's boggled.

Lol, well, sort of. I mean by all logic, Phoenix is COMPLETELY out of his element in a fighting game. It would be extremely amusing to see what kind of moves he would have. better yet, what SPECIALS.

I will laugh SO hard if one of his specials actually is a lawsuit.
That would be hillarious.
*cue that Phoenix/She Hulk lawyer team up comic*

One of his Hyper Combos would obviously be him shouting OBJECTION. It should be a counter-hyper, though.

[OBJECTION MAN]

I recall when TVC was out an interview mentioned Phoenix was talked about, albeit jokingly, and the "OBJECTION!" speech bubble was a move, that hit on each syllable of the word.

Holy [parasitic bomb].

[Align]

Wouldn't that cause trouble after translation? "OMG wright sux compared to naruhodo"

[Satoryu]

Objection has one less syllable, so I'd say make the exclamation point the fourth hit.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Or cut it up into 4.

Ob-je-cti-on. Graphically of course, not spoken oddly.

After jumping back and forth between PS3 and 360 I've come to the conclusion that I need to buy another tournament stick. It blows the regular stick out of the water.

[Jericho]

You guys and your sticks. If only gaming were a more cost friendly hobby, then I could live it up a bit and spring for one myself.

For those with the PS3 version, how is the stock gamepad for the game? Comfy? Bothersome? Speak up!

Personally, I love it. I am soooooooo much better with it.

[Jericho]

That's reassuring, all of my experiences with this game have been based around 360 pad shenanigans and let me tell you, [parasitic bomb] is waaaay too unfriendly, especially for someone who's just recently getting into fighers and inputs for said fighters.

On another note entirely, [tornado fang] you Shoryuken motion and all your variants. [tornado fang] you.

[Protoman Blues]

The 360 DPad is just plain awful. I really can't do anything on it.

[Sub Tank]

Hey does anyone here use Zero?  What the hell is his weakness?  His melee attacks beat out mine every time, like he's doing some sort of horizontal Shoryuken.  I can never take him down without losing a character or buttload of group HP.

[TheDivine]

Stay at a distance and hit him with ranged attacks, just don't let him get near you and if he does, tag out and back up. If you see the chance, start an air combo. You have to hit him fast, before he can start a combo.

Zero's saber range, multihits on each blow and priority really make him annoying to deal with at times. The best bits of advice I can honestly give you are that advancing guard (press any two attacks while blocking) is your best friend in those situations and to always be careful with assists.

What's your team look like though? I can't say much about offense without that bit of insight.

[Sub Tank]

I've been using Tron, Morrigan, and Arthur; for no particular strategic purpose or reason.  Although I feel like Arthur is holding my whole team back.

So I guess I was right about Zero being a huge pain to fight head on?  I try advancing guard all the time but he comes right back in my face as soon as I knock him back.  His main combo pushes him forward, it's crazy.

In terms of head on characters, there are few others I'd say give more trouble (Dante, Wolverine) but Zero's up there. With your team setup, I'd say shutting him down/cheesing him out before he closes the gap on you is the best idea. Chuck as much as you can with Arthur not for the sake of damaging, but more so to intercept. As maneuverable as Zero is, his movement directions are extremely one directional. Lock them down into a comfortable spot (the corner is good) then OD with Arthur spam and Tron's Flamethrower assist. Also, depending on how good you are. Morrigan is like Raid for Zero. Use lots of Soul Fist -> flight mode -> Soul Fist shenanigans to keep them locked down single handedly. You can also turn this into bullet hell mode with Astral Vision (and depending on the situation, X Factor) to make his maneuverability somewhat worthless while you rain things down on him.

[Protoman Blues]

I have yet to properly learn Arthur, as I've been focusing most of my time on Spidey. But I'm not really good with him yet.

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

It's all about projectiles w/ Arthur.  I've yet to properly learn his close-combat combos to keep his ground steady, but mission mode has taught me a fair bit o' things.

I just have to wait for my next check to finally purchase MvC3.

And yes, PS3's D-pad is excellent~

That's going to be the biggest thing keeping me from learning all of the characters in this game, I can feel it. Coming from the Smash side of things with universal special and normal attack inputs, I can already assume that this is going to be all about how much I see a character, how much they click with me, and how much time I can pour into making them viable.

Off the top of my head, there are probably 15 characters I'd like to try in no specific combinations excluding my big three -- Dante/Morrigan/Phoenix, and then there's any number of DLC characters coming down the pipeline. This game is gonna consume my soul.

That all helps, thanks.

It was the same with me and TatsuCap, and in this game as well.

You know, I've been debating which I like better, TatsuCap or MvC3, and even though I love my Marvel characters more than the Tatsu characters, I think I still prefer TatsuCap overall, mainly because I prefer 2 on 2 rather than 3 on 3.
