I meant trial :shobon:

Can you switch back to investigation mode after being in trial? I haven't even touched him. I could probably check but eh...

I imagine you would have to be able to. In the Assist Me! videos, Wright didn't have three pieces of good evidence but was still able to go into trial mode. I imagine another hit of down-down-special would put him back in investigation mode.

So a question from a mvc newbie (haven't played since mvc2 on dc), how would racoon, arthur, and strider, deadpool, or zero work out as a team?

That's kind of a hard thing to answer considering only a few of us even have the game yet, and two of those characters are brand new so we very little knowledge on what other characters they have good synergy with.

What kind of speed boost does Strider gain from level 3 x-factor? I have a feeling he'll still be good as an anchor just because he'll be practically untouchable in the hands of someone who knows what he's doing. Sort of like a slightly toned down version of Dark Phoenix without all the having to save meter stuff.

Judging from videos i've seen, he looks at least twice as fast with XF3.

I see the term "one trick pony" thrown around alot. There isn't anything wrong with only having one trick in fighting games, if it is a really good one.

Doesn't the problem lie in that it's easier to counter a one-trick pony, even if it is a really good trick?

Of course she does, you can't put her on point. You can put Phoenix on point though, and that's not always a horrible idea if you know what you're doing. They are two seperate characters, they have been the whole time, and the sooner people realize it the better. Starting to see more regular Phoenix play in the last few months of original marvel's lifespan, hopefully that continues into ultimate.

Why the gently caress would you put Phoenix on point? She dies in half a combo.

Yeah, but if you're at casuals or a tournament where you tend to not be on your own console and make a trip to the character select screen once for every 2 or 3 matches turning the 60 second process into a 10 second one would be pretty helpful.

It taking you 60 seconds to select characters and colors is your fault, not the game.

I'm now one and fifteen online in ranked. You guys talk about how bad online is but no one online drops a combo against me. Ugh. Everyone I play online is amazing at this game. My only win was against another guy who had never won before - and I destroyed him. There are very large skill tiers here.


Ugh, I've never had a "I need to walk away and not look at this game for a week" game. I understand salty.

Remember that ranks are reset, so all those losses you are getting are probably from high-ranking online players. Maybe you should try fighting some people you know, get a chance to improve your game if the online losses are getting you that salty.

Urgh I remember why I stopped playing this. I guess I fundamentally can't "get" this game series since I literally can't hit people. Like no matter which attack I use I'm always hit first. It's so bad that when I actually do win out it's so rare and I'm so not used to it I flub any attempt at comboing or whatever.

What characters are you using? Are you practicing at all or are you just jumping straight to online? The game is not hard to get, and this is from someone who never even attempted to get good at a fighting game until Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Like I told someone else, get some goons to help you out.

I'm using She-Hulk, Hsien ko and really can't figure out who for the last slot (I was using Tron but gave up since I could never pull off any of her combos in an actual game despite being able to do them in training). I practice in training and can do a few combos (like that She Hulk one where she combos into the air then OFGs runner start into her super) and a few basic Hsien Ko stuff. However whenever I try to play it's literally me getting hit from both sides at the same time then comboed into oblivion. It's frustrating since it happens so fast and I can't do anything about it I never learn anything. Like I don't get how to even hit people without a huge amount of luck it's so bad.

I think the problem here is you're using characters that are not very straightforward, not to mention that Hsien-ko is garbage tier. Try using the simpler characters until you get more used to the game's mechanics. Ryu, Zero, Nova, Ghost Rider, etc can all do good damage and are a hell of a lot easier to use then Hsien-ko.

Guys, I was hoping you could help my scrub rear end out. I've been practicing Dooms new BnB, but for some reason the second footdive sometimes misses. I've got everything else down I think, if I connect with fH S, but usually the forward H pushes the guy too far away to be hit by the S footdive.

So what am I doing wrong?

Are you doing it fast enough? If you're not hearing "Fo-Foot Dive!", you're doing it too slowly.
