I have a few questions for all you fans (if it hasn't been asked already).

How many of you pre-ordered UMvC3 ?

Are you happy with the character lineup (main/DLC) ?

Are you satisfied with the modifications to the game ?

Yes. I need finish paying it off.

Yes. I can't wait for team new blood.

For the most yes. But I still think Capcom sucks at buffing and nerfing characters.

So I'm thinking of running Dr.Doom and Dorm in ultimate, considering I play Dorm now and my Dr.Doom has been getting better I might actually be able to pull them off together. The only thing I have to worry about now is getting a third that will mesh well with them. Any thoughts? I mean Dorm and Doom help each other out pretty well what with Doom having a beam assist and Dorm having a lock-down assist. I'm thinking maybe I should use a battery character for Dorm but I have a combo with doom that builds 2 meters.

I like Dorm/Shuma
 
1 more week guys. I'm pretty ecstatic to try out some new things with my characters (Cancelling out of Dorm's Dark Matter is teh sexy) as well as some new ones. In order of those that I plan on trying out, i think it would go like this:

Vergil (Obviously)
Hawkeye (Looks to be a zoning monster, which is right up my alley)
Nova (Looks simple, but effective. Definitely the Dark Horse of the new cast just like Spencer)
Frank (Cause' he's covered wars, ya know lol but he looks really fun to play as. BOOYAH!!!)

I won't really dabble too much with the rest of the new cast, but things could always change lol. More or likely, I will get the game a little early, so I'll post my impressions ASAP.
 
And for everyone else interested, I'll be posting stuff on Dante and Viper, probably to talk about how broken they still are (I'm talking top 2 OTP). I'll also be playing Vergil and Strider, and probably some Doom on the side (Because Hidden Missiles + Devil Trigger is one of the most broken combinations in the game). Thinking about a Dante/Vergil/Strider team synergy video as well, since everyone seems to doubt this team. And if that happens, I'll definitely do a Viper/Dante/Vergil video.
 
Viper and Dante are a very different kind of broken. They actually take work, but make no mistake that they are way too good. Doom Missiles + Devil Trigger takes a bit to understand as well, as it requires proper spacing and keepout application, rather than something like Dorm + Magneto, or Task + Missiles (Aim of Hawkeye, Aim of Hawkeye!). So they're not OP at first glance (Except maybe Missiles + DT), but I really think that these two characters (Viper/Dante) will be running this game.
 

Yep. Definitely gonna play Frank LOL

Chris received some really nice buffs and Spencer seems like he will be an even stronger character in Ultimate which seems ridiculous as he was a really strong character in Vanilla.
 
I don't think Phoenix is dead, she's just not retarded or mindless as before. Good phoenix players will still make her viable, we just wont see every random person using her as a free win crutch like vanilla. Yeah she got hella nerfed...but she had a LOOOONG way to fall before she would be considered bad. Also who knows how tech will change with new team pairings.
 
Honestly I see phoenix as a character that will take to much work to just be good. Not being able to stay in the air and spam fireballs hurts her way to much. She was great able playing keep away and now she can't really do that since she falls straight down after any shot in the air.

A lot of characters seem to have become viable though and that is pretty nice to see, I mean I've seen a lot of skrull tech lately and I'm thinking he might be better than most people had originally thought.
 
Phoenix still has amazing rush down, she just cant start it off a fireball into teleport mix up as easily(tho she still can). People will just have to be more careful and play a more ground based game. she still does tons of damage if she catches you and the fireballs as single shot zoning tools are still very strong. I'm not saying the nerf isn't a lot (it is!), just she isn't ass. I expect her to go from S+++ to B. People will just actually have to learn how to use her and not spam like before.

I feel people are too floored by how much nerfing she had and not respecting how OP she was and what it would take to normalize her. I still things she needs a lil buff to compensate for the over kill nerfs, but I'm pretty happy.
 
TBH, Phoenix is still going to be at least A+ tier in my mind. All the nerf truly did was separate the chaff from the wheat; the chaff being the derpy "shot-->teleport" players that we all know and love and the wheat being the REAL Phoenix players that make her do work. She's still going to be a pain in the ass either or cause' that's just how her character is, but players are going to have to think, if only a little, lest they drop like a rock (literally). On the bright side though, Phoenix did get a buff, although it is a universal buff: Air X-Factor. This is going to help her a HELL of a lot more than any other character.

Of the old cast, I find it funny how Wesker is still going to be a beast. I seriously think the nerfs did jack shit to him. -100,000 health? That aint nothing. Less float on Samurai Edge? Hurts a little. Just means you can't get a free combo from a derp shot anymore. Then, look at his buffs. 15% damage and 10% speed increase as he gets his ass kicked (I think that was the number)? Boss. Cobra Strike cancel into teleport? Awesome. Increase startup and damage on Jaguar Kick? Excellent. Gives me a reason to use it cause' it's comboable now, allows Wesker to break 500k damage on his own (he had trouble without lvl 3 and assists previously, and this is not accounting the damage boost from broken glasses in this one) and makes his combos look even more flashy. The good seriously outweighs the bad here. I swear, Capcom is in love with Wesker or something XD (not that i'm complaining since I am too)
 
Yeah Wesker is still top tier and I don't see that changing for a long time and what the hell is with the damage increase when he loses his glasses?

I think Hulk will be much better this around what with no blocking on air dashes! No more dashing at hulk and thinking all will be fine bwahahahaha.

Wesker isn't even top tier in 3.0, so I don't get where you're coming from with this.

And the thing about his damage increase is that (if I remember correctly), his teleports and damage were decreased overall. When the glasses break, he's back to 3.0 status in terms of speed and damage. With the glasses on, you're playing as a nerfed Wesker. At least, that's the last I heard on that.
 
He sure is top tier in Vanilla, thanks for agreeing Cosmic.

All i know from Norcal vs Capcom is that Phoenix is still bullshit in the hands of someone who actually plays her.
 
No, just saying exactly what you meant.
Because top tier doesn't mean the toppist tier, even though i believe Wesker is. 10 out of 50 is still top tier lol.
Hell in this game those first 5 are broken tier, and then there's top tier, and then whatever the rest are lol.

Where did that list come from anyway, last i remembered it was like Phoenix, Wolverine, Dante, Ammy, Wesker and Viper at the top

Spencer, Taskmaster, Dorm, She-Hulk and a few others right below.

S-tier to A-tier. Both being top tier.
