No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

I saw a ghost rider during reality storm knocked dude down and summoned the horitontal flame pillar just exactly above standing to keep foe from jumping out, dashed in burned the storm for the free level 3 which is the penance stare grab. I thought the whole setup was pretty slick :shobon:

I missed Megaman X4 cutscene chat? I was thinking about X4 the other day and about how sad I was about Iris' death. She's like the one character in the whole series who seemed legit sympathetic and gets completely hosed over.

Then I realize as an adult that the Repliforce were basically genocidal Nazis and Iris before her death was all "I always dreamed of a world where everything is dead except for "our" race. It'd be really good way to build our relationship! We could have emptied the planet for living space....together! :hitler:". Yeah, sad and all but you and your brother probably belong in the dust-bin of history along with others with those kind of harebrained schemes. And you just fought me as a boss! :fuckoff:

The mechanics here look....interesting. It wouldn't surprise me that this game took cues from Smash in trying to bring down execution requirements and allow newbies to feel like Capcom gods
with their buddies. My favorite fighting game for a long time to play online was Dragon Ball Ultimate Tenkaichi, which used straight up simple rock-paper-scissors and cool visuals, just because I could play it effectively even while half-sleep or drunk. I don't have time to learn fighters anymore, so I welcome the pyrotechnics and making it easier to fire them off. I sense people are going to poo poo all over this once it hits the tourney scene tho.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but other than the auto combo stuff it doesn't look like the game has particularly easy execution.

I guess I mean it seems easier to land big combos. The timing has always been a bit more strict than it looks in older games.

It doesn't matter because big combos don't do any damage anyway. I guess they just want you to reset a lot and designed the mechanics to give you canned mixups whenever you want.

It's easy to do "big" combos in Marvel. It's hard to do optimal combos and it's VERY hard to play neutral and move well without feeling like a headless chicken. They just made easy things easier, which I mean...a combo in 3 was ABCS jump ABC super (which is a qcf plus two buttons motion) if you really just wanted to play with people.

Having watched for the last few days the hype for this would have been so much greater if this was what they showed initially instead of the garbage E3/Evo/Demo offerings. The combo system is appropriately crazy, things seem to just sort of work in a more freeform way, it looks like a faster, more pressure-based game than before while still giving zoning and area denial characters more tools to compensate.

i agree, it's capcom's fault you're all reactionary weirdos.

reality stone is truly bananas and needs a nerf. hopefully some more recovery frames cause it is almost impossible to punish. gonna hear a LOT of "REALITY STONE" in the first few weeks. i imagine what will separate the best from the rest in the beginning will be how well you can deal with it, through spacing or push block reflect.

i've spent a lot of time with captain marvel and gamora so far, both are real good. gamora especially has an insanely high skillcap that i will never reach cause my execution is bad. i've also played a lot of spidey and chun and their offensive pressure is ridiculous, even by marvel standards. hit confirming with spider-man is easier than it's been in any marvel fighter, and chun is so fast that playing her is a little intimidating. will take some time to be able to handle it.

if the reality stone weren't so good i'd be playing more with the time stone. it recovers juuust too slow to be a truly oppressive tool on it's own, but when used in setups or as a movement option (good option to get out of the corner), it is almost as big a game changer as reality. power is probably the purely "solid" option, an offensive and defensive tool that can extend combos and from what i understand people like combos. i think power has a real high skillcap for use, more than reality especially.

lobbies have four stations where people in the room can queue up or hop on an empty one, do either versus or training mode.

well, reality stone may not end up needing to be nerfed because of the potential to be "solved" is there. pushblock reflect timing is not so easy that it trivialized zoning, but it will have an impact on the effectiveness of the reality stone.

Repliforce were separatists, not genocidal.
They had no issue with humans other than the fact that were seen as unequal and subservient.

As proven by the fact of when they were framed for the destruction of Sky Lagoon (which was actually done by Sigma and a rogue Hunter), and ordered to surrender and disband without any evidence or due process.

It's on Capcom that they developed a game with basically 90% straight rips from their previous games, terrible presentation and didn't do a single public beta other than the bad story mode one. It's also their fault that PR was horrible with bad excuses for not having iconic characters or paring down a lot of traditional Vs. game systems. Everything else, sure, whatever, but it's still pretty early to say how the game will develop because this AHA YOU FUCKS IT'S AMAZING AND YOUR CONCERNS WERE STUPID take happened with both SFxT and SFV, which people have very strong and justified arguments against.

It has been awhile, but you're right. That was the best game in the series, I think.

I think the fact that people are complaining about the roster highlights that current-era Marvel and it's downplaying of mutants (their most iconic property for ages) has done a good job to bring attention to the Avengers and everyone else that people probably didn't give a poo poo about before the Disney films in some areas but still has a LONG way to go in others. No X-Men in Vs. will take a long, long time to get used to even if the archetypes are there. :smith:
