Well, remember that Jill got nerfed because ???. Hopefully they'll do something to make Nick better normally if they're taking out those invincible assists, but then they ignore Hsien Ko so I don't have much hope.

Though I guess it's also possible that they'll just give it some tiny amount of vulnerability on startup or something.

Uhhh everything he has in Turnabout mode is really good. Having a braindead, stupid assist only serves to make the game worse overall.

For all the work you gotta put in it's not even 100% invincible, you can hit him in the back. Besides was marvel 2 ruined by stuff like psylocke or capcom or ken? Not only where those characters not completely rear end but assists were a lot more abusable in that game.

There's also the issue that capcom decided that instead of

- not patching the game in the first month again
- giving wright or someone else some juice
- weakening wesker like they did sentinel because everyone cries about him

it seems like they're just going to remove one of the few reasons to bother with wright and make him even less used then he already is, why would you be okay with that?

As a fan of the character but not a player of the character in this game, I can only hope they tweak some other things to make PW still be desirable to use in some way. I'm not really sure where they'd start, though.

Someone mentioned it before, but less bad evidence/chance of bad evidence would be really helpful. The ability to throw bad evidence while jumping would also be nice, and maybe have Maya shield cover more area, although his biggest issue is teleporters, and I'm not sure how they can help him deal with them.

Honestly I don't think his assist is THAT BIG OF A PROBLEM, though I do play him and that might bias my input in some manner :V

if they DO do this horrible thing, I'd take to it better if in exchange they made his non-turnabout modes not quite as intentionally bad. The thing is, his assist is good, but removing it would actually cripple a lot of reasons to play him. Sure you'd get to turnabout, then have giant normals with huge damage output, and be able to do the Ace Attorney, but after that ends, what happens? Gather more evidence? Hit with an objection? Again??

The reason I tag out after getting turnabout isn't entirely because of the assist, but also because I want to hold off as long as possible on bringing him out. If I have to end turnabout at all, I want it to be with the end of the game, too.

Get rid of bad evidence and and have his normals recover in a reasonable amount of time. I mean sure have a cr.L that's active for like 10 frames sounds great, until you whiff it and you are stuck there for a good half second.

The assist isn't a problem in a balance sense, since it's pretty likely you're gonna die before you can even get in turnabout mode to set it up. It's definitely a problem in a game design sense since if you get the assist, it makes the rest of the match really stupid unfun and lame.

Well if Wright doesn't get to turnabout, the match is really lame and unfun for him.

so it's almost like he

turns the situation on its head.

But yeah, okay, I see what you mean. That doesn't mean they can just remove the invincibility and call it a day though! That would be intentionally making an already bad character worse. And that would just be SILLY

It's not that I want Wright to be the best character in the game (well actually I do), but I'd rather he not be as completely bad as he is now. Maybe give him more mobility options or cut down recovery on his moves or something.

You and me both. I think Chun is the only character that absolutely no high level player has put any time into.

Early MvC3 had everyone and their mom using Chun for legs assist. She was the very first OMG GOD TIER Marvel 3 character. The novelty wore off before the game was even released.

You can't choose to not fight Wesker or Dark Phoenix or any level 3 X-factor character either! But people learned ways around that, precautions and strategies to cut those things off, which is something people should probably do with Wright as well.

I would have been okay with Dark Phoenix getting nerfed, just like I'm ok with turnabout press the witness getting nerfed. People found ways to try to deal with Jean, but at the end of vanilla MvC3's lifespan she was still the best character by far and she still made the game significantly worse. Jury's still out (haha) on wesker.

We don't even know how the assist will be tweaked yet. Maybe instead of being 100% invincible the whole time, it'll only be invincible during the actual walking animation or invincible up to the point where he stops walking or etc etc, so you've got a small window to punish him like practically every other assist in the game.

I just don't see any reason to nerf that. I mean, as of now no one's getting results with Wright, since it's really hard to get him to Turnabout and unlike Phoenix his Light version is actually pretty bad. It's way more interesting and less dumb than Dark Phoenix or XF3 Wesker, that's for sure.

AlphaTM
Aug 11, 2010
But Wright isn't exactly nearly as bad as Jean. He has to work significantly harder in order to get to his super-duper power up mode, and even then it's on a timer. He has a lot more health, but with the way people usually played Jean the health thing wasn't that big of an issue. Wright has to be on point and leave himself vulnerable to be able to get into turnabout, and then he has to go and connect with a pretty slow move.

I DID just compare wright to jean, but mostly in how people perceived them, and it seems people who have problems with Wright usually look at him the same way they'd look at Jean, while he really isn't like that!

I get what you mean with Wright being a gigantic stop sign in any offense your opponent'd want to mount, but I don't really think it's a gigantic issue.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a principles thing to be honest and not really about Wright himself. Gustaff Fire got nerfed(and so did Lariat, I think?) and nerfing Press the Witness next makes it seem like the design team aren't big fans of invincible/nearly-invincible assists as a way to get pressure off you easily.

Of course, this raises the question as to why Press the Witness got into the game 100% invincible in the first place.

Yes, it is mostly a principle thing I would assume. Having an assist that is fully invincible, can easily be comboed off, and carries 0 risk in calling is not good design. Whether P Wright is a good character is irrelevant, the game is worse with the assist in it. A basic tenet of fighting game design is that every move should have a downside, and it seems like Capcom hasn't really figured that out as of late.

E: VV they didn't nerf hsien ko assist, but hers isn't nearly as dumb. For one thing, her assist can actually take damage.
