At this point, I'm going to say that understanding and executing the basics are important. You can be as flashy as all heck, but if you can't even grasp the fundamentals against someone who can, well sucks to be you. That kid understood the basics and the mechanics of the game he didn't need to be flashy if everyone else was going to be as unsafe as they were.
Course, I can't win in MvC3 anyway or even knock out a single character, so what do I know.

Spiderman/sentinal/Phoenix...but really Spiderman was doing most the work, phoenix was just a clean up crew.

Are their vids posted of the evo matches? I tried watching some of the matches on the ps home but it was shit for me. I did see a little bit of this guy named deathwish though, he had a nice phoenix set up that really messed people up.

Holy crap, you mean this game has a Raccoon! I thought this was just a cheap cash-in atempt but I will totally cough up some dough for a 'coon. Vergil is some white haired Otaku loser and Nemesis looks like a walking turd. But a 'coon? That is just badass.

So a friend asked me to play MvC3 with him while I was playing and streaming SC4 on August 1st. i played him because he said it would be an early birthday present for him if I did. So, I switched, lost all my viewers and streamed MvC3 with him. He used a Phoenix team. In the first game, I beat his first two characters pretty quickly and he managed to win with xfactor level 3 phoenix but just barely. The next two games the same thing happens with his first two characters, but with Phoenix, I got her to about 25% health and then time runs down til about 20 seconds and he pops xfactor, he gets real close to winning this one too. 3rd match, Same thing except He didn't get close and ended up quitting just as he got KO'd. He is still mad about this a week later. I don't understand it but it makes me laugh. Here's the vid!

Wat up my SC family I need Help. I am good at playing SC and DOA and thats it, but now i have purchased M vs C 3 and I am not sure what to do.
The main problem I am having is blocking lows fast enough not to get hit and launched, cause when that happens it seems they just keep repeating the same few moves and i cant shake or get out of it. What do i do, is it just a matter of quickly blocking those lows and then rising fast enough to block the launchers ? Once i get launched in the air is there a way to get back down quicker or to defend myself in the air ?
Please HELP ME IF YOU HOW TO PLAY ? My PSN is XCO I would love some training !

Let me help you out a bit then, you dont mention what characters you're using/fighting against though, might help.
Ok, blocking lows is quite simple, your normal down/back on the d-pad/stick. This will block most hits on the ground, including launchers. You will still need to watch out for overheads which can be very nasty from certain characters, like say Magneto.
One thing I can tell you about launchers is that they are punishable in a lot of cases (Taskmaster's is extremely punishable for instance, when blocked or whiffed), and once launched you will be in a launch state for a few seconds and you won't be able to defend yourself unless your opponent drops his combo. If you're playing against someone who isn't so punishable (like Wesker maybe) you can also use advance guard which will push them back.
One thing to remember about this though is that it won't affect an assist, so if you're hit by an assist as the point character is closing and you push block, it will push neither the assist or the point character.

Ya always block down/back when you're on the ground, all over heads are slow and you have enough time to react and stand. Also not all air attacks are over head, some like Wolverine's dive kick can be blocked standing or crouching. A major tactic to avoid having to guess low or high is to simply jump and hold back, In the air it doesn't matter so you can use this to avoid unblockables (low+high assist) and neutralize a mix up. Launchers are never lows, so don't worry about crouch or standing.
Also learn to push block (2 attack buttons). Depending on when you push depends how far you'll send them back (the deeper into the attack the farther). Some attacks keep pushing forward so you might need to know when you have to respect it or where u can create an opening (EX: Akuma tatsu needs to be pushed on every even number and it will give you a moment to escape or punish.)
Also learn what moves can be cancelled. Like stated, launchers are often unsafe (but not all!) and usually can only be cancelled if they hit, not if blocked or whiffed. So use that knowledge to learn when to escape and when you're opponent can't apply more pressure.

Thank you I think im going to have to invest more in learning from an online guide there some things you guys mentioned i was not aware of...
Let me tell you what happened to me online, This guy was playing the new dude that looks like NEO and Hulk as one of his assists.
The "neo" dude would launch me as i fell down the hulk assist would smash the ground and that would bounce me on then he would launch me again ?
I felt trapped and he kept doing the 1 combo over and over... So as fall down what should i do ?

One thing to get is the official guide. I normally do not recommend guides, but this one is phenomenal (like the best guide I've ever read EVER)! Even though some of the data has been updated and new things found, most of it is still relevant an provides legit strategies and things I still reference. The only reason to not get this is if you're holding out for the new UMvC3 which will have a guide as well.
Keep in mind if you block the assist first, you can not push back the point character until you exit block stun (so if there's a delay you can).
The NEO guy is Wesker and he has a very powerful launcher that is also very safe and high priority. You either have to attack with a higher priority move if your character has one, use aerial movement to get away, or simply block and wait for an out, he won't be able to repeat that over and over if you block for a bit, best he can get is Launch, assist, Launch before you have advantage again.
Are you talking about a combo tho? If so, MvC is notorious for huge combos and relaunches, so unless the combo counter reset, that's all guaranteed and is fairly common. A lot of this game is high risk high reward, so while learning you may want to avoid players that can do 80+% combos to give you some room to breath. But a big part of the combo's is sometime you get "taken for a ride" (*trollface*) and they may last a while. Advanced combos can be very long (look up Dante and chun li vids)

I saw a match where Justin Wong won by just spamming voomerangs right off the round, like MK9 iAir Fans with Kitana. Was pretty funny and seemed hard to get out of. That's all I know though.
---Edit---I also might as well talk about my team. I've been using Hulk(AA Gamma Charge), Wesker(OTG), Dorm(black hole) as my main team recently. I've also been messing around with Dante since his execution comes off as pretty easy to me(except bold move-teleport cancels off 3HHH,6H gives me trouble). Superskrull is nifty too but I can't pull off his tenderizer infinite soooooo =\

You need to have wesker as your anchor, he is better at being an anchor than Dorm. Also gamma charge AA is nice but the regular gamma charge might be better for you. It will extend weskers combos and can extend Dorms corner combo's along with setting up mix ups. Also hulk has armor on it so it can get through some people for you. Y

Ya I'm starting a new team in preperation for UMvC and to play a more harassing style:
Task(h shot)/Storm(whirl)/Doom(missles)
Whole Idea of the team is to play constant keep away and lockdown to constantly force chip and meter gain. Task and Doom can do huge combos alone and with meter and DHC options it's often a dead character. Storm doesn't do much damage but her DHC into either one can be big damage and she is a really pain in the ass with arrow assist triangle jumps and doom assist spam+whirlwinds/flying cross ups.
I realized at EVO that while my wolverine and Akuma are decent, my Taskmaster was really the my strongest point character and to be honest stood out over all the other Taskmasters i was seeing so my goal is to really carry this character further with a new team and with the buffs in UMvC Storm and Doom will likely be great teammates

I want to learn this But i think its going to be awhile... I am just in the last few months have gotten great at SC (I beat people that use to beat me) and I will always love DOA and play fairly well at it... Learning a whole new system is a bit overwhelming, so I think it just going to be a slow process!
