Official MVC3 Thread - Ultimate MVC3 In Stores NOW!

Thank you, King! I was going to quote your post but it was too big :P

Anyway, I'm starting to wonder if MvC3 is for me. I've spoken to a few people who say that it's less a game of pure-skill, and more of a silly, rediclous fighter with alot of potential to be cheap. I loved SSF4 because even though it wasn't perfectly balanced, it was hard to be really cheesy.

Like I said, I'm considering resisting the temptation now, but we'll see how well my will holds up come the 15th :P

I just wanna say, can't believe February is almost here...then we just have a wait a few more weeks to see how MvC3 turns out!

I've been replaying Tatsunoko vs Capcom to slip back into the three button groove. I'm going to commit possible videogame blasphemy and say I'm glad Capcom went with this more streamlined control scheme. I'm not the best player in the world and Tatsunoko made me feel as I could actually accomplish something :)

http://www.fightersgeneration.com/screens/mvc3leak.htm Those images seem way too real though. I dunno Niitsuma doesn't seem like a huge troll like ono, but its right there in the image. IMO.

Also, as expected MVC3 is at Evo, and MVC2 is not, neither is SSF2T. The death of some old old games. http://evo2k.com/?p=852

So what's the word on the pacing for this game compared to MvC2? Am I looking at a series of surgeries and rehab on my left arm if I'm going to actually be able to play this one? I honestly haven't been following it at all.

Also, why is the page all jacked up here?

I am not liking the way the page is being jacked. Not sure whose fault it is, but someone should try to fix it - either King or JBul...

So this game is coming out Feb. 15th? I don't know why but I was thinking it was a March release for some reason. Awesome! It's almost 2 weeks away now. :DArchangel3371

Yep, it's coming out February 15th, a day after Valentine's Day! Not too far off now! :D

Can someone tell me why this thread is so glitchy? Very odd. Anyway, I hope I'm not the only one who's enthusiasm for this game was dampened by Games(tm) review.

Like I said earlier, either it was your posting or King's posting on the last page that made it very glitchy. It needs to be fixed somehow. That or both posts need to be erased by the both of you. Maybe that will fix the problem.

Mission Mode

Finally, some news about this mode.

I know Gamestop is going to have it the day before at least, but my local one is not doing a midnight release because there weren't a ton of preorders. As a game center operator, however, they're letting me pick mine up monday night right before close so that I can do some Midnight Marvel Madness at my center for all the hardcore players.

I'd check with your local Gamestop to see, otherwise a 24 hour Walmart may have it available right at midnight.

Yeah, like an arcade meets a cyber cafe. I've got 28 Xbox 360 stations and 14 PS3 stations with gaming chairs hooked up to HD monitors. All the 360s have their own Live accounts, everything's internet connected, obviously. I also have 2-46" LCDs and 4 TE fightsticks for the PS3 so I figured MVC3 would be a good way to use them.

What happened to Wolverine's voice? BranKetra

Yeah, I am not liking the voice for MvC3's Wolverine all that much. Bring back that voice from MvC2's Wolverine! Fits him a lot better than this voice!

As far as I know, a midnight launch isn't happening for my local Gamestop, but things could change.

Also, I had a flashback from my days with Street Fighter EX + Alpha, with the way they designed the menu layout for the mission mode, with the characters's names and the bar next to it...

Capcom characters will have an individual choice (Like in SF4) of Japanese or English. Marvel characters are only in English. jks22112

Why didn't they give Marvel characters an option to have Japanese voices? I would think that Marvel would be popular anywhere in the world, Japan included?

Marvel wouldn't allow it. jks22112

Well, judging by Wolverine's voice actor, they've certainly made a mistake in perhaps a few areas...

Wolverines voice actor is Steve Blum. He's been the VA for wolverine in almost every cartoon and video game he's been in. Atleast within the 2000s. Obviously he didn't do the voice for MVC2 wolverine, but like it or not this IS the voice of wolverine today.

MvC3 Tutorial by Eurogamer

First images of Jill and Shuma-Gorath in MvC3

I know it's not much, but there you have it! These images were from the latest Famitsu magazine scans that popped up on the Internet today.

Edit: Here's some more hi-resolution images of the pair. You can see those here.

Gamespot spilled the beans on DLC content for MvC3, which is being called Shadow Mode. You can check out that information and view screenshots here. I've also updated the main post with the same info so that people can stay up-to-date on it. No release date as of yet, but once something is revealed, let me know please and I'll update that.

Shuma Gorath looks great. Jill reminds me of Cammy...I hope she plays somewhat like her.

1UP is having a MvC3 Game Night in less than 30 minutes.

Well, that Game Night was disappointing.

• They didn't have an up-to-date build. No Haggar, Phoenix, Sentinel,Taskmaster, Akuma,Sentinel or Hsien-Ko,
• It was less than 30 mins.
• All they did was talk about the characters and show us things that most people already knew. There was only one actual match. In other words, nothing new was shown.

I expected better from 1UP, given their past Game Nights.

Just a quick general question about the multiplayer features of the game from a complete MvC n00b -- Obviously there will be online multiplayer modes, but will I be able to have 2 other friends on my Team controlling different characters to tag out with? Or is it only 1 player controlling all 3 no matter what?

I'm going to go with the safe answer and say the multiplayer will be traditional 1 player V 1 player. The game mechanics revolve around being able to call in assist from your other characters, chaining hyper combos from multiple character on your team or unloading multiple hypers at the same time. Along with attacks that force your opponent to change characters. A large chunk of the games strategy would go right out the window if you could only physically control one character yourself.

Gotcha. I'm not familiar with the combo system so I didn't realize how important chaining together combinations with other characters was. It would be almost impossible to coordinate a combo with a friend, but the idea was exciting nonetheless. :)

LI Joe plays MvC3's Final Build

Really nice vid that shows off Training mode, and you learn some of the things the characters are capable of. Apparently, Thor is a lot better than people think, according to Seth Killian.

Edited: I watched the vid. I meant in comics.

I hope so too, I plan on using Thor in my team actually. He seems to have a Captian Commando esque assist too. Which is awesome.

EDIT: S.Kill did say Hakan would be sick before SSF4 too. :/ lol.

I was thinking of using Dante as a Captain Commando assist, actually. I think Dormammu has a Captain Corridor-ish move too.

BEST. DOODLE. EVER!

:lol: That's a funny pic!

This should be helpful for a lot of people: All assists vid(Capcom side), All assists (Marvel side)

In the menu, you see something called "Network Simulation"...as the name might suggest, it sounds like you can play the game under simulated network conditions.

EDIT: The uploader is probably going to put up a bunch of vids since he's got the game, so keep an eye out.

Out of interest, will this game be easy to get into for people new to fighting games? I have got Mortal Kombat and can do ok with that in single player but on Super Street Fighter IV I get destroyed by the AI past the first couple of stages. Are the combo's easy enough to do i.e. MK simplicity in button commands or are they like the Street Fighter ones where you must get your timing perfect as I seem unable to do moves like Shyruken on that when I feel I have done the combo needed.Garfield360UK

I won't go into the obvious differences this game has from SSF4 that are apparent from the gameplay vids. I would say the MvC games play considerably looser than SF games. In that regard I would say It's much more accessable than SF games even if you ignore the "easy mode" that treats you like you need to wear mittens all year round. But the level of depth the game has (or at least the previous ones had) is still on par with the SF series.

The game also will have a mode similar to the Challenge Mode in SSF4. Where it will take you through a specific characters mode set and teach you how to pull off increasingly more complex moves. As well as the standard Training Mode.

Also one last thing. Any fighting game fan will tell you this, using an arcade stick makes playing the game ten times easier once you adjust to using one. I actually bought an arcade stick because I came to the conclusion It is impossible to do some of the more complicated techniques in SF4 with a standard controller.

Galactus boss reveal

Love the finger flick, :lol:

This is amazing...the game comes out in one week! It's a good thing I have my copy fully paid off! Should be really interesting on how Marvel Vs Capcom 3 turns out! :)
