Where's Pretty Panda so he can pull out the PW reveal thread and find all those pledges of people who would main the character.
 
Just give it a try man, failing that you could go into the SFxT thread and ask for matches or something if you don't want to play randoms.

I suppose. But everyone posting in that topic already seems really good, but it doesn't hurt to get the feet wet I suppose.

And to the topic at hand, I didn't rally for Phoenix Wright because I thought it was impossible to convince Capcom he was a good idea. Once he was announced I made the commitment to use him no matter what.

If he wasn't in the game I might have ended up using Team Darkstalkers again. Or maybe Vergil for his katana attacks. Oh well. I may not play Marvel often but I certainly didn't break my promise in maining Wright and Hsien-Ko!

They probably felt like with Nova and Iron Fist they would have trouble making him different enough from both of them.

Perhaps, but Gene has a different costume color scheme, and his moves involve other crazy shit like a home run bat, giant shaolin palm, spanking on the ass, and repeated ball stomping.

The circle button spam from God Hand would be easily transferred to mashing in Marvel, and stuff like the roulette wheel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1beb37nGHw) could be incorporated in a unique way as well in hyper moves (like a hyper that lets you choose from a variety of finishers from the wheel at the end).

Finishing off a team member with the home run bat or dragon kick, and then watching them fly away in the sky and go *ding* in the distance would be hilarious.

Because Karin is one of those characters like Q that everybody says they want, but she actually sucks and nobody would really play her.
So like Phoenix Wright.

Both of you nailed the fuck out of that.

> Delete Elena/Dudley team

No.

> Add in Alex/Q team

Half no.

> Delete Blanka/Sakura team
> Add Honda/Hakan team

25% of me wants to say no, but Hakan will be the truth in TxSF.

Blanka should just vanish from existence. What a stupid troll of a character.

Don't hate on the OG. (I mean, I hate him too and all)
 
As long as Ono breathes we will never be rid of Blanka. If Ono was making Marvel he would put in Blanka and make him top tier with some bull shit gimmick.
So he can help build community and competitive spirit.

:p
...I actually don't mind this. I just really want Alex and Q to be in more games.
These guys will probably never make it to another numbered Street Fighter at this rate. I'm just waiting on Mike Z to show us what his version of Q is like.
 
Better yet, why keep her? Excluding any "booty" reasons, of course.

...I actually don't mind this. I just really want Alex and Q to be in more games.

More female representation and she's always been highly requested. There are 3 boxers in the game and Elena is the first and only character to use kicks for all 3 buttons. And personally, I enjoy Elena's long reach. I'm not a fan of Dhalsim, and I was planning to use Yoshimitsu but the range of his sword is disappointing so the reach of Elena's legs makes her a very fun character to play as!

I'm fairly certain that the only real reason she's requested is because of "dat ass." Personally I've never liked her and thought she looked stupid. But to each their own I guess. Her and Dudley would be the first on the chopping block if I had my way.

Alex and Q are awesome, but if any characters from 3rd strike should of been in sfxtk it would be Oro or Urien, they just fit the engine better.
 
I finally got my hands on my copy of SFxT from my storage, but I'm not playing it yet until I beat Ni no Kuni.

Now.
I haven't been following SFxT2013, but apparently Chun-Li is looking S-tier, but who is she great with? Anyone know?
I'm thinking of using Chun/Akuma (3S mains), Chun/Ryu (because I'm boring) and Chun-Lili (Puns!)

...and Christie is actually good now? I know Elena is great and I want to use some capoeira girls as well. lol

I was surfing some old threads and saw this:

Makes me want to live through the neogaf hype of a new Marvel game

Chun is a good front character, your goal with someone like her who has long juggles already solo is to have someone with long extensions because the scaling is already high as a partner.


Also Elena shouldn't be removed as she is a unique character overall. Id be ok with removing a shoto though.

Pre-UMVC3/Vanilla hype was some of the best hype on GAF. If you want some really funny shit you should scoop out that Lupinko riddle thread where so many of us look like fools trying to figure out the roster from a bunch of tweets.

Never forget Carnage.
