Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3

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?

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

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3

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.

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3

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

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3

Wesker low health? rofl no. It's 1,100, which is well above the modal average of 950. You need to be able to zone to space his teleports correctly, otherwise he is indeed a strong character that perhaps I should use more.

Akuma, from what I can tell, has a high damage output and a very strong assist in the form of his Zankukyaku, but when he's on the field, good players will always be on the lookout for it since he can combo from it, and most Akuma players use it all the time. Don't try doing it from full screen or something unless you want to eat beam hypers or something, which is especially costly due to his 800 points of health (tied with Amaterasu, Arthur and Zero).

I dunno I don't remember Wesker that well because every player I played that used him I find that I beat the quite quickly :V

I know Akuma has low health for sure since I can beat him in one or two combos

X factor should be nerfed in terms of damage output. Advanced guard is the same as about the same as push blocking in marvel vs capcom 2. Just like 2, there is a strategy as when to advance guard.

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3

Yea but I miss the parrying system. is my favorite out of advanced guard or focus or others

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3

I think everyone agrees the damage output from x-factor should be much lower. The healing thing is perfectly fine though.
