Well, given that Maximum Spider has a very specific element that is lacking in the other moves (short of Phantom Dance looking like how Maximum Spider used to look), it's pretty obvious that (A) Vergil's super looks absolutely nothing like Maximum Spider and (B) Maximum Wesker is a dumb name in the first place because the name of the move isn't Maximum Spider-Man. At least be consistent with your nicknames.

But yes, using the wrong move names confuses people in this thread who aren't stream monsters or 4chan/reddit trolls and who do actually refer to things by how they are named ingame. It's not like there isn't already a set standard for these things that are easily available to literally anybody who has the game.

Dude even S-kill says Maximum Wesker when he would commentate streams.

Only thing that the Assist Me video had me wondering was if and how Vergil's are assists are different while in Devil Trigger. I've seen quite a few Vergil matches and I have yet to see someone go into DT and tag him out to use as an assist. I'm envious as hell of everyone that got the game early, wish I could test this poo poo out myself already ...

I remember someone saying his assist are mostly the same except for damage, but judgement cut gets a whole lot bigger.

Also, I hope everyone starts calling it Maximum Wesk so we can stay more true to its origins.

Broken Loose, if anyone reading this thread is too thick to catch up on what we mean by "Maximum Wesker", they would have no idea what most of the posts in the thread say.

"What? Salty? I don't understand, do they think I have high cholesterol? And what the gently caress is a Reset? Is it like when I turn my XBox off when someone online is playing that overpowered Arthur and just throwing stuff and not fighting honorably? In that case, I'm great at resets. I'm mad hyper yo."

Firebrand
-Firebrand feels really "derpy", you can press a lot of buttons and get a lot of damage. He kind of feels like Taskmaster, where he doesn't actually have very potent mixup, but his normals are so huge and he is so fast that he can get a lot of hits just by being a bully.
-His lv3 is really loving fun. I had him in slot 3, so a common strategy was try to come back with lv3 x-factor and lv3 super active. He can just mash fierce to make his clone attack, and fly around mixing the other guy up.
-His moves that transition him between air and ground are pretty sweet, and I'm looking forward to getting time in with him to figure out all his movement options (he has a lot).

Hold on, what? From everything I've seen Firebrand's normals and damage have been really god awful looking. Like for an extended combo be barely breaks 600k for one meter.

Also. The correct name for Vergil's super is "sword dance".

His damage sucks but his normals are gigantic. He basically has Taskmaster's 2A. His fireballs are obnoxiously durable, too.

The low damage output is kind of justified because he feels like Wolverine, without Berserker Slash but with fireballs, flight and a super obnoxious level 3 that lets you run poo poo until it's over.

I thought it was called Maximum Wesker because he leaves those after-image things so it looks like your screen is saturated with Weskers.

I never really understood this - Seth kept going on about how good Jill was, to the point that there was some secret tech so insane that they felt she deserved to be toned down a bit in Ult. But if you've got a character that everyone isn't playing right, who has the potential to be a tourney contender, who you ideally want people to purchase for additional money..

Why not just put out a video of the dev/tester team showing off said tech, or some of her hidden potential? Even in Ult, now that they think they've balanced her, it could only help sales.

It doesn't really matter if Jill has super-powerful broken poo poo if you have to be really good to make it work. Because as we all know, there's going to be another Marvel 3 before people have time to do anything but find another Best Friends team. Probably involving Vergil or Strider.

Basically, ten more years months.
