Marvel vs capcom 3

**muttering quietly** not coming out for the Wii .... grumble grumble .... Wii can't handle good fighting games .... whine moan

...... plays more Tatsunoko vs Capcom and gives the developers the finger

[rant over]
 
I've never understood this series. Maybe it was because I was mostly out of the fighting genre by the time the first came out or maybe I'm just too old fashioned - I never cared much for all the crazy crap that could be going on at any given time, the super high jumping BS, etc.

I got 2 on sale for XBLA at some point, played a few matches and still couldn't get into it. Not to mention I'd just get raped if I tried to play online.

Oh well. I know I'm in the minority of fighting game fans here.
 
Yeah, I'm excited as hell. I played the hell out of MvC2 when others were shunning it. Now it's "cute" to see everyone come running to this game. Bandwagoners. ;)
 
will be playing this Friday!. i am a mvc bandwagoner :)
 
It's coming out at Midnight tonight I believe??

I was never very good at arcade fighting games, and it was mostly after my time in the arcades. I've owned a few though:

Mortal Kombat II and III
SF II WW and CE
X Men COA
Marvel Vs. Capcom
Marvel Vs. Streetfighter
Darkstalkers
SNK Vs. Capcom 2001
Tekken 3
Tekken 4

I don't have any now. There was a time when I could easily sell Marvel Vs. Capcom cabinets for a decent profit to make it worth the trouble, but that time seems to have passed.

not at all. I liked the first Marvel Vs Capcom, because it had some fun characters for the first time like Captain Commando and Venom in it, but it wasn't completely bat-shit insane to play. It was still one of the 'slower' fighters (at least compared to Marvel Vs capcom 2 and so on). I think it was the last 'fun' Vs game. I didn't really like MvsC2 because it was too... crazy. Too frantic.

I agree, way too much stuff going on at one time. MvsC3 is similar but I've only spent a week with it and it seems better than MvsC2, but it's still just too frantic. You're playing for about 5 seconds and all of a sudden your first character is at 25% health. wtf? I didn't even see what was going on because of all the flashing and hit sparks!

I wish there was a way to have it set to a single combatant at a time. Maybe it does that in the 2 player version, I've only played offline single player. I like some of the characters but even the new ones like Phoenix, Zero, Thor, etc - they all play like Ken and Ryu! They ALL have a 'dragon punch', and they ALL have a 'hadoken' of their own.

They didn't really come up with new characters, they just reskinned Ryu/Ken/Akuma.

you can view a 3-4 min video on everyone, they are all very different in there play styles and this game is not gonna be all about infinites it seems which is a plus to me, they made it so anyone can pick it up and be somewhat decent. its gonna come down to who is literally the better player, not who got there combo off first.
 
I thought it looked pretty good, they had it on a 60" LCD at Walmart, I didn't play it but my twelve year old thought it was great :)
 
I'd probably be into it if I could understand the excess stuff that goes on beyond just "head to head" fighting. it took a while for me to learn when fighters went into the "combo" phase with some of the MK's, Ki 1 and 2, and some of the Street Fighters. Once they got more advanced, as with MVC2, CVS, etc., they lost me.

It is fun to watch people that know what they are doing play those games though.

if there was ever a time to get into it, this is it, they made this game so simple to pick up its not even funny. seriously, give it a shot!
 
I must admit that it looks pretty damn good visually.
 
Game is out, fun as hell with friends..

The online is so bad its not even funny. Trying to connect to a match takes literally 20 minutes, I have had a lot more success searching the lobby on player matches and joining based on connection. The ranked matches suck because its either a quick match or custom thats really a quick match and it takes forever, constant cant connect to host and fail to join server.

Not laggy though, just a pain in the ass trying to cnnect
 
So how exactly does this work for in home playing with friends? If I have 4 controller does each person get one character and they take control when one dies or on a tag? It looks like my copy is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I am pumped!
