You sayin' I like dubs?!?
this game is ok I guess but it feels like the meta is going to completely remove any kind of neutral or positioning game over time.

I genuinely don't think they'll do a Game of the Year unless the game tanks horribly. SFV is generally regarded as awful and it's still going with regular releases

I think the strongest evidence Spencer is only in MvCI because Combofiend is the creative director is the fact that he literally contributes nothing at all during story mode except occupying a second character slot in some fights.

I like how Ryu's dash basically looks like he's having from a dry cleaning rack and being shuffled forward.

Sacktap talked a little about this at Curleh finale, but apparently Arthur got some buffs like double jump canceling his projectile (allowing for more projectiles on screen), finally has a dash and his overhead is untouched. I wouldn't trust any tier rankings that some people are giving now though, but people seem to think he's up there now

This is much better than the answer that I was expecting, which is "ha, no".

So can you not do OTGs in this game? I was trying to do a Spencer combo but the OTG Bionic Arm doesn't seem to actually hit.

Also hate that it took me forever to go from LP/HP/LK/HK to L,M,H,S in MvC2->MvC3 and now we're back to the MvC2 setup and it's breaking my brain.

Impressions so far:

-Tutorial sucks really bad
-Menus and UI suck really bad
-Online shockingly good, probably the best Capcom has ever done outside of old game re-releases
-Arthur seems a lot better, still not sure if he can actually hang with good characters
-Zero is very much still a problem

I did a video with some ranked matches, playing arthur/thanos:

Snagged it after hearing the netcode was good. Haven't had any issues across 15~ matches. Feels good but I immediately miss the rock-paper-scissors simplicity of SFV, gonna take some adjusting to git gud.

I will probably pick this up at some point in the near future (like whenever Venom comes out).

The online netcode for ranked seems fine so far. But online on player lobbies is completely hosed, after testing it with 3 of us having a 5 bar connection it was still lagging / rollback like crazy. Also you can't turn off VOIP at all in player lobbies either.

I don't know if it's a result of being FG Gud for like a decade, or if the dude practices a bit off-cam and then records after a bit of learning, but most of his "random FG poo poo" videos are fun to watch for the construction of combos part.

"Let's play this rando MUGEN-like with Megaman X characters. Let's go with the Roll X character. Ok. :projectiles and buttons: hm. :mechanics: figuring stuff out... :45% combo with good hit confirm reads into chain throw loop: ok yeah that works let's see what you can do with meter"

Plus his voice is like butter and a welcome change from high-pitched Fragmaster ripoffs or Yet Another Guy With a British Accent.

Not as strong as you'd expect.
I've realised something.

Any sequel or added content is gonna revolve around the Cancerverse.

Consider. Thanos is facing off against Death. Death being killed off was one of the triggers for those 'Many Angled ones' to show up. But the game notes that the Reality Stone is cracked. That means the potential for holes in reality. Will probably attract them sooner rather than later, Death or no Death.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Ok so this is basically my first actual Marvel game, my previous experiences with it are basically just mashing.

So using the damage hitstun thing I have been figuring out combos that make you air reset when the damage hits the right point and then going for resets/gimmicks. For those of you with actual marvel experience please help me understand this situation here:

I force the air reset with Nemesis, go for anti air grab right away and it works. If you are a character that doesn't have flight/air dashes in this situation are you just boned, or is there any defensive option you can do? To me this seems incredibly strong.

It's a good thing that max is awful because ghost rider is probably a problem in the hands of a good player

and max is at the least playing matches against people. I really don't want to watch someone in training mode.
