Well, since Jill and Wesker are basically Trinity and Neo you might as well complete the cast of the Matrix. So I propose Laurence Fishburne.

Also fun trick I learned with Chris that is probably obvious to people who actually play him: end every single one of his blockstrings with the incendiary grenade. If they try to hit you the grenade blows up on them. It's both hilarious and annoying as hell alongside being one of the ways I think he's actually able to be "good" since it gives him a somewhat real pressure tool up close.

3DS games have the capability to be patched and receive DLC, it's just that no one has really bothered yet. iirc Nintendo said they are looking into DLC tracks and karts for MK7, but I imagine that was just lip service.

I know this is from the last page, but, I just want to mention that Nintendo announced that the newest Fire Emblem title will indeed be having DLC, so they do indeed have the ability to add DLC to the 3DS.

But, back on topic. If they do make a third iteration as the rumors are suggesting, I want Megaman.exe in, he has a lot more options I think when it comes to how he could play as a character than Classic. Plus, the Battle Network games were awesome.

I just can't stop thinking about kusoru's rocket raccoon play at Final Round. It really changed my mind in a fundamental way. He's playing with a different philosophy.

So I'm copier... I've been trying joe/rr/hidden missiles, since i don't know frank at all. It's very interesting, Joe's triple jump is similar to storm's SJ in vanilla... you can call assists from high. So interesting.

I've got SFxT PS3, but I don't even play it, I'm just messing with Joe and RR in training mode.

How do you make RR's OTG into super always connect midscreen? I'm doing

L M H 6H S, j. M, j. S, land, 623B, 623C, super.


but sometimes (no, a lot of the time), he's just too far away for bear trap to hit.


is there a dash after you land i'm not doing? i can never get it out fast enough when i try to dash.

You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.



I've been trying to incorporate plink-dashing into my game, and I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. With Wesker, I'll do OTG gunshot, H~M, H~M to dash under and reset on the other side with cr.L, but I always get standing H after the two dashes. SOMETIMES it works if I hold Down and mash L, but usually I get dash-under > st.H, which is obviously not ideal.

Is it even possible to have fun playing online? I just went online after a few days of practice with my Nova/Morrigan/Taskmaster team and even though I'm by no means the best player around, it's really lovely to be doing fairly well and then lose because some dude did ABC--> Level 3 and kill me with Wolverine or Wesker. I feel like I'm playing underwater when I play online, even with the best connection.

I should probably drop Morrigan if I want to play online :( How anybody manages to do any sort of fly-canceling combo online is completely beyond me.

edit:

the guide suggests this combo for Taskmaster:

quote:

its like cr.LMH --> web swing --> air M, M --> web swing --> M,M,S, land, st. m, h, charging star, delayed S, super jump, M, M, H, web swing, M,M,S, vertical jump, QCF+H (charge), QCF+MH

However, I can never reliably pick them up again with the standing M into H, charging star, and then launcher. Am I doing something obviously wrong? Is there a better BNB? How should I be getting in with Taskmaster solo? Whenever I webswing I usually end up getting killed by some random beam super or something to that effect. Can I cancel it into a block somehow?

The best way to play online, at least in my experiences, is to pick randomly. Wanna mess about with MODOK? Wanna see if you can do some cool Tron stuff? Wonder if Joe can do some serious damage? Find out online. The less serious you are online, the more likely you are to have fun.

But seriously, MODOK is great to piss people off online.

How are you losing? Do you get out-zoned? Do you get overwhelmed when someone throws a technical combo at you? Do you drop your combos, or have trouble getting the first hit in? I would hone in on specific weaknesses, and try to improve from there.

Also, remember that UMvC3 is a game of shenanigans. If you aren't constantly accosting your foes with shenanigans, you aren't playing the game right!

As a Morrigan player, don't be afraid to use her duplicate super and start throwing out Soul Fists in every direction. If you can get your timing right, you can actually bounce people back and forth between Soul Fists until they die and there's not a god drat thing they can do about it.

Mostly dropped combos. I even drop my combos a fair bit offline, as UMVC3 is the first fighting game I've ever played "seriously". My general game plan is use Taskmaster's forward arrow's assist to help Nova and Morrigan get in and just kind of play it by ear after that. I have some of Nova's combos down, excluding any that involve fly cancelling because I simply can't do them without an accidental TAC coming out or completely dropping the combo anyways. As for Morrigan, I've been playing her since Vanilla but she's varies at times from being the weakest link to being the only character I really know how to play. I will occasionally try to do Astral Vision zoning but as I find it really hard to fly-cancel consistently online, I end up with huge gaps in my Soul Fist spam wall.

I just picked up Taskmaster a few days ago and I'm having a hell of a time learning anything more advanced than what training mode taught me. I know you can get a relaunch using his arrows to OTG and Nova's overhead assist to ground bounce, but I definitely can't do it consistently at all. I don't know how to make his movement safe, and whenever I try to get in with him, I usually get caught by a Gimlet, or a Unibeam, or something.

I also have a lot of trouble with Vergil's teleports and how to punish them. If I just keep walking backwards when a Dante teleports, I'll end up behind them, but Vergil really confuses me. as does Wolverine and Wesker. I just can't keep them out.

I might be wrong but don't you have to hit down after the first dash. I've always gotten it to work by doing HM, 2, H~M, 2, H~M etc.

There's been some talk about online mode, so I'm gonna put in my two cents as I'm grinding for the trophy that you get for passing 6th rank and then never playing this game online again.

Online, at least on PSN, it might actually be playable on XBL, is garbage. It pretty much amplifies everything that is wrong with this game in regards to piss easy characters. If you have a character that has advanced combos, or at least midly execution heavy ones, you will drop then online. In fact, I don't even think its possible to do certain combos online. When I do Iron Man's bnb, which has like a 2 or 3f flight link in it, the game actually lags when I go into flight mode and I drop the combo (I think the game WILL always lag when you go into flight mode because it happens to Sentinel and Morrigan as well). This is a combo I get all the time offline, but its impossible online. I see people playing Taskmaster online drop his poo poo because it has links in it to. Even Dante's baby's first fighting game combos drop online a lot.

Meanwhile, characters like Wesker, with extremely retard friendly combos, are still impossible to drop online, and his bullshit like 1f command grabs and teleports become MUCH harder to punish due to the massive latency. Online mode for this game is garbage, and its going to make the "cheap" stuff actually impossible to punish due to latency. In an offline match, there are ways to beat everything, but in online matches when the massive latency is introduced, the characters that are already the best poo poo over everyone even more, and characters that are tough to play become even tougher.

I haven't played KOF13 and I hear that game's netcode is garbage, but UMVC3 on PSN is certainly a big contender for worst netcode of all time.

Netcode poo poo.

I gotta say, I do agree with this. Despite Zero being my best character, and having no problems with any of his stuff offline, when it comes down to online stuff, I pretty much constantly drop just about everything short of the most basic poo poo. It's really aggravating when even the easy version of the lightning loop keeps dropping due to lag. When it comes to online, Vergil and Wesker, who in offline matches are used more for their assist potential than anything, keep winning me matches. It sucks seeing those hours of practice go to poo poo.

That being said, I hope FChamp is wrong. I just got some good poo poo with him that I can actually use, and now they're gonna get rid of it already, even if I don't have a chance to use it online. :(
