Official Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Thread

[purbeast0]

i'm going to be on pretty much all night online. if anyone is going to be on 360 send an invite, tag is purbeast. and my skills at mvc series is terrible so i am not even remotely close to being good at it like i am ssf4, so i'm a total newb to this. i keep pressing wrong buttons cause when I do an "l tatsu" with ryu i press the damn S button thinking its LK. same with H Shoryuken ... keep pressing assist.

gonna take some time to adjust.

 

[purbeast0]

kazaam what you mean a vs CPU option for your nephews?

arcade mode is vs the CPU.

 

[ManBearPig]

Like in SSFIV they could go to versus--->CPU and then choose the other CPU character to fight against since they don't always like playing against each other.

Arcade mode is the same guys in the same sequence no? At least the other side isn't choosable is it?

 

[purbeast0]

ah i see what you mean, not sure bout it though havent tried arcade mode.

just did my first online match against a friend in new york (im in maryland) and it was basically unplayable ... really really laggy and jumpy.

if this is going to be 'normal' im going to sell this game. im joining some random rooms now though.

i hear that shit is really messed up with the 360 right now, although apparently the ps3 online isnt stellar either. i hope it turns out ok since ill almost exclusively play online.

 

[purbeast0]

yea online so far is kinda meh ... it is so easy for me to do combos in training mode and shit but online its a lot harder so i hope this smooths out or else i may get rid of this game.

i know it's only day 1 so i'm definitely going to give it more time and not sweat it yet.

 

[purbeast0]

played a bunch more online. still not sure how i feel about it heh.

it is just annoying how combos come out so smoothly in training and not online. and i don't mean do to execution, it's do to lag and stuff. i've noticed a ton when I land a sweep type of move that can combo into a roundhouse with ryu, it lags just as the sweep is landing, f'ing up my tming on the roundhouse, and it totally is too late or doesn't come out. happening like 90% of the time.

i was landing some more combos but the game just feels so ... i dunno ... just like a clusterfuck. ther is just so much crap going on at once. i still am not even close to being used to the button layout so that is going to take me some time to get used to.

i tihnk all in all that a lot of the 'meh' feeling is that this is different, but i keep feeling like i'm losing to some bs as opposed to just flat out being outplayed. and i went like probably ... 20-5 tonight so it's not that i'm just losing and complaining. by 'losing to bs' i mean it isn't me being outplayed when i lose health, it just seems like a buncha random shit just happened to happen.

but again, mvc is a total new engine to me as i didn't like mvc2 due to so much shit goign on. i'm goign to try and give this some more time for sure though so i'm not putting it away yet by any means.

i tihnk once i get used to the controls, it will help a lot. i also hope that online isn't quite this laggy all the time and kind of hope it is a day1 issue or something that can be patched. oh yea, and online mode in general is awful ... in a lobby of 4 people, the people waiting can't even watch the match. you just see the lobby and thats it. pretty lame.

 

[ManBearPig]

it does appear to be a clusterfuck to me too lol. i cant believe theres not a spectator mode or even a replay system, and apparently theres not a connection rating system for ranked or something. makes no sense seeing as how ssfiv had those. theres a lot of shit that needs working on, that's for sure. hopefully it gets fixed soon.

 

[supastar1568]

In mission mode, is there a way to turn on the command line so that I don't need to hit pause in order to figure out what i need to do?

It allows you to turn on input commands, but that just shows what I do.

 

[Chacotako]

This is my first time with the vs series and it just feels overwhelming. I played a bit last night in training but that's about it. I'm going to keep at it but at the moment I just feel so lost....

heh i've had some experience in the vs series and i still feel so lost. i too feel like it is overwhelming w/all the crap going on. definitely going to take some getting used to. there is just so much different than ssf4 which i'm used to, a lot of it very basic stuff.

stuff just like recovery frames on moves which need to be learned, the 'pause' that happens after a hyper combo seems to be different per move and character, the fact the button layout is so different ... just so much simple stuff that needs to be learned!

 

[erwos]

Picked it up last night. I'm new to the series, so I was a bit surprised about how each character only has a few moves, and how many of them are triggered in roughly the same way. There's also the "OMG is there a lot going on!" factor.

On the positive side, the learning curve doesn't really seem to be terribly steep, so it could be a good party game.

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

Played a little bit last night. Mostly vs cpu to get an idea of the game because I wasn't an MVC2 player.

Game is mad fun and crazy. Don't know that I'd ever be good at this type of game but I was having a blast.

Played 1 online game. I lost but didn't get destroyed. I didn't notice any lag in that match but I hear it is widespread and input lag can be really bad.

Seems like more of a game I'd rather play with my friends on the couch so I can talk trash to their face.

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

I like Iron Man and Wesker. Haven't figured out a 3rd yet but Dante seems fun. I haven't tried most of the cast.

 

[skace]

I hope my copy comes in the mail today

Take a look at X-23 and Trish. X-23 is fast as hell, and Trish has superb normals that are hard to dodge.

 

[RPD]

FML I am going to have to buy this... and I don't have time to finish the games I currently own.. My friend and his brother played the ever loving hell out of MvC2 on DC and this is like cause for a Holiday.

 

[NaOH]

Man, I shoulda known to pre order the collectors edition. Ended up getting the regular at gamestop today.

 

[purbeast0]

so yea the online in this is pretty disappointing so far. played like 15 matches again last night ... went 12-3 but it wasn't fun some of the matches really and stuff was totally coming out that i wasn't trying to do due to lag.

really hope they can fix it somehow. if they don't, i don't see myself playing this game for very long.

I didn't really run into any issues with lag online (other than one guy disconnecting before he lost a match, although he did message me saying his router F'd up =/, should really count as a loss).

Anyways, besides that, the game doesn't have much substance other than the actual online match ups and/or playing with your friends. The single player is whatever, I finished that in half an hour and I'm only missing one hidden character now after messing with the game for 2 hours. The game just feels so bare bones compared to Street Fighter 4. So far the fight mechanics have been pretty smooth. I just find myself trying to do separate punches and kicks button presses from the classic way things have been (they removed LMH kicks and punch and combined it to be LMH Attack which is hella weird to me) only to call in my partners or accidentally press the L+M+H button and wasting my super move. I think I have it down now though. I kinda like how the air combo start attack button is the same for everyone now but I'm still torn because now everyone is controlled mostly the same way.

For me, this game is kind of perfect for the situation I'm in. I have TOO many games to play (in the process of fallout NV, dead rising 2 and HoN with my GF and buddies at night). I kinda wanted a quick pick up game that didn't require me to invest hella time trying to collect everything. So this fits the bill since the collectable stuff in the game kinda sucks and that the single player doesn't take much time to go through to practice. I'll definitely be doing the missions though and will be focusing on online play. It just kinda sucks for diehard collecting fans expecting to get the same amount of stuff they got from playing ssf4. It just boggles my mind as well why capcom didn't give this game the same things it did for it's past games.

 

[Destiny]

At first I didn't like it because I was so accustomed to the MvC2 buttons... but I got the hang of it, I think it's pretty awesome now...

After I got the hang of the Team Aerial Combo - I try to execute every chance I get... reminds me of what a Dragon Ball Z game should be...

 

[Dangerer]

I really want to pick up this game, but online play is going to be what I'll be doing 90% of the time and it seems like Capcom managed to go backwards with MvC3 online play. It's as the developers forgot people outside Japan would be playing this game.

 

[ManBearPig]

Finally got a chance to play. I really enjoy this game but have no idea what I'm doing at ALL lol. How can I do air combos? I'll hit the guy in the air but my guy can't get high up to actually hurt them and keep em up like in the YouTube visa.

 

[KlokWyze]

I like Iron Man and Wesker. Haven't figured out a 3rd yet but Dante seems fun. I haven't tried most of the cast.

LMAO it has Wesker! That's awesome. This fighting series is so much fun to play. I remember in MVC2 there was so many random characters and behaviors. How many Wolverines did it have?!?!?! Problem is that I rape all my friends in fighters, so they are no fun. :biggrin:

[rant]Fighters are pretty much dead to me though. Online play is impossible. You can't do it. Even the slightest latency makes the outcome BS since fighters are so reliant on speed/reaction. Certainly playing a fighter over a shit P2P connection (XBL, PSN) would mean that there will always be major latency issues. [/rant]

 

[TecHNooB]

I want this game, but I get the feeling its going to get the 'super' treatment due to the current release's lack of extra content and smaller roster.
