Considering picking this game up today, but I'm curious: Is the online as bad as it sounds?
Matchmaking sounds pretty terrible right now, and from what I've heard from a few people the community isn't all that great either (spammers/keep away).

For me the online play itself has been perfectly fine. It's the lobbies that suck (no spectating) and matchmaking is kinda borked...it keeps failing to connect to other players, and this happens on both the 360 and PS3 versions. It's weird; I got the PS3 version early, and had no problem with searching for ranked/player matches before the official release date. But there is a workaround for this anyway: Just play arcade mode and turn fight request on. You'll be matched up with another player pretty quickly.
As for spammers and keep away...it's Marvel dude.
Ugh. Was having trouble in the lab. Realized my XBOX wasn't in one of my "game port" TV inputs (you can't turn it on and off, its built into certain ports) Had the xbox on component, changed over to HDMI and then hooked it up.
Really made a big difference... for a minute. Then I realized that I did it all while the game was still going, and the xbox scratched the fuck out of my disk.
Took it to Gamestop, got 40 for it, and bought a new one. That was lucky, I thought I was out 60 bucks.

Im assuming spam and keep away is normal for marvel then
Not a big fighting game enthusiast (IE: Pretty much terrible at them all), but this game looks fun. Winter Brawl kind of sold me on it.

Online is perfect, only takes about 5-10 mins to get into a match where you'll most likely be facing the same guy for the third time who plays like his life is on the line and plays keep away until he can get 5 meters for his phoenix. That is, if you can actually get a match as the online is too good sometimes and fails to match you up with anyone. One of my favorite features is how they show your win losses before a match but the online in this game is so good that instead of your actual records they show completely random numbers! So good!
I'm not even going to go into how good having to watch cards clang against each other instead of the match is, fucking revolutionary right there. Sometimes I don't know how Capcom comes up with this stuff.

It's a new day and I feel like giving it another try. Will anyone be up for some matches on the 360 side?

But aren't these the only alt costumes on the disc? I assume that means they're the only ones that were actually finished. I can't imagine they'd repeat this mistake...but hey it's Capcom who the hell knows.ShockingAlberto said:
It's truly unbelievable that there are no alt colors. I thought a light purple Dante alt was a given. He'd be so much cooler if he looked more like Prince.
I also thought maybe they'd atone for their sins and restore PINK THOR. I bet some partypooper at Marvel is keeping that dream from becoming a reality.Maybe they're going to sell the alt colors separately, like Arcsys did with BlazBlue. Ugh.
Boy, I included that little "not defending Capcom" disclaimer in hopes of avoiding a reply like this...and hey, here it is anyway.TheSeks said:
Capcom deserves to be flamed. I've said that quite a few times. I wasn't defending them. I was flaming you and your crazy OCD.
Would you even regularly use spectator mode or replays if they didn't have achievements tied to them? Because it seems when you're not playing backseat developer you're raging about achievements. It sure doesn't seem like you play (or discuss) games because you actually enjoy them.
Also these aren't all weird design decisions so much as 'oh shit our release date just got pushed up 3 months hurry hurry' decisions. I don't think the current state of the game is due to developer laziness or incompetence and I think pissing all over the dev team is kinda crappy when it looks like most of the fault lies with the corporate side. Shit, I'm honestly surprised this game isn't an even bigger trainwreck. I remember Steel Battalion: Line of Contact, man. That game didn't even fucking work.
Spectator mode needs to be added (along with a dozen other things) but I'm guessing it'll never be patched in. I'd love to be proven wrong! But personally I can live without it cuz holy shit I hate waiting my turn. It should be there though.
Fight request. Player match. You will have none of these issues. Well OK sometimes you run into the play2win bores but there's not much you can do about that.Spruchy said:
The first two stood there waiting for me to punch them. It seemed even worse than normal arcade. I perfected both of them. The third threw out some psychic hypers and one thirty hit Chun-Li combo but still went down astonishingly easy. I'm sure had I used a ranged character she never would have touched me. It looks like they just pull a quote and a character list and maybe a personal combo or two? But you'll probably never see any of that cuz the computer is so damn bad.Papercuts said:
Rummy Bunnz said:
Yeah, the first two did even worse than easy CPU it seemed. The third was able to complete a normal series into a hyper with hsien-ko when I played normal, but it was really funny seeing them just stand there blocking getting chipped out by arthur. Oh, and using chun li legs assist from full screen!
It seems like it's just a way to get all the titles they have, the AI definitely isn't selling anything on this end.

It's not really feasible to do manually. Check the description.shaowebb said:
I could see it being used to increase the chances of getting a dizzy item to *start* a combo, maybe. Someone on another forum said he was giving it a shot and had a roughly 33% success rate of getting a star if he timed the move when her head reaches the 11 o'clock position in her idle stance, lol.El Sloth said:

Oh yeah, ultimate proof that this release was extremely rushed: there's no Marketplace link in-game. Also I don't think there's any notification that new DLC is available. WHOOPS.
Rummy Bunnz said:
Hah, I was going to mention this too. It also isn't on the marketplace...or atleast, it isn't listed at all from what I could see from new releases on additional content.
I was wondering why the game didn't update when I launched it today, but then I realized shadow mode was DLC and not an update. The only way I found it was going on xbox.com and downloading it, pretty crazy.

Well there was an update for Shadow Mode but it came last week. I think it may have mentioned upcoming DLC but...it was a few days ago, I don't remember. Very confusing.
Shadow Mode wasn't immediately accessible from the Add-On page in the Marketplace either. It gave me the DLC costumes when I clicked on MvC3. I had to then go "View Full Game" or whatever in order to find Shadow Mode. If I didn't already know it existed I never woulda found it, but that seems to be more of a Microsoft problem than Capcom.
It's worth playing just to get that "I Need a Hug" title.

Heh, you know, come to think of it Marvel has reportedly been pretty anal about character representation in MvC3.
... I wouldn't be at all surprised if they didn't want costumes that had specific color schemes altered, like classic Thor. Naturally, to keep things balanced, Capcom would restrict their own costumes to 1 scheme.

I swear one of the early Thor videos showed him with a pink alt, all T.HAWK style. It got me so pumped...and now I am so disappointed.Kaijima said:

Yeah was practicing her yesterday, but not sure anymore... that air dash into wesker assist unblockable is just so cheap. Really don't respect that so I probably wont main her.
So wesker is in, akuma is in... still looking for a point man!

It's SO close it's heartbreaking. That costume would look great in all sorts of garish colors. Imagine it in gold lamé. It would be fantastic.
