Yep. Vanilla's UI was much better looking (except for the shitty XF outline on your character, I prefer XF in Ultimate).

I still can't tell the difference between Vanilla and Ultimate's victory theme. Even after listening to them back-to-back, the difference is miniscule at best.

What's different about it?
My personal favorite nitpick currently is how putting on fight requests in training mode cause multiple complete stops in momentum to get to the match or get back to training if you don't accept. I wish if it at least had a punching bag mode (why hello there Brawl) while the match loaded up so you could get your execution right for the match.
@Beef: Vanilla's theme sounded heavier/fuller than Ultimate's.

There actually is a pretty big difference in the themes. You just probably haven't heard Vanilla's in awhile. I've always liked it better.
I do prefer the old XF outline look, though.
Man I missed the transition to this, I thought this was a genius little touch.

A couple of months ago, when I asked people what the difference was in the first place. I honestly can't tell.
I think it's one of the things they changed for the sake of change/Vita. They got it perfect the first time.

Even I can tell what the difference between the victory themes are and I play with the sound off.

Fighting games are better with the sound off just like porn, am I right or am I right?

Mybe if you tried again? I can see not noticing it if you've never paid attention, but I find it hard to not notice after it's been pointed out.

Seriously
I don't mind the change to the lifebars and meters because I kinda like them, but that? No. Just no.

This. While the Xfactor is more clear in the current vision, it takes a little time to understand who is next on the team. If I had a say, I would desaturate or dim the health bar when that characters assist is used and not available.
To make the intro comic more interesting, it should give you your player card info (how many hours played, maybe a picture/comic of most often used characters.) That info is already tracked in your profile, why not use it?
Yeah, I am a UI/Visual geek. Part of my job I guess.

Yeah I'm not a fucking musicologist but it's pretty easy to tell that there is a difference between the two.

Cool, thanks.
Yo, so who's ready to boycott EVO if they don't announce their game tonight?
Oh wait...
He looks hella goofy. Like he's passing gas or something and he's giving a shit, haha.

I think there's maybe a couple seconds of an additional instrument in the Vanilla version, but other than that I can't detect any major differences.
Wow.
We're not talking about the overall rhythm or how you'd whistle it, but more how it literally sounds. Like playing the same drum solo on an actual drum set versus a fisher price drum set for five year olds.
(I could not come up with a good analogy).

I can't wait to see what can be done for fighters once next gen comes out. Games like MvC3 can afford to go with the extra detail that would have been impossible on current gen consoles thanks to RAM limitations. The MvC series is gonna scream on the upcoming hardware.
PSASBR being in over Melee. Brawl being considered? lolz
That is like the best thing about UMvC3 besides Morrigan's soul fist.
Me and Disco are weeping right now. Does that make you happy?
*runs in opposite direction*
I gave up on Skullgirls being an EVO game months ago. All I care about is seeing the developers make money off a PC version. That and Lab Zero Games working on an SNKP IP. Last Blade seems so ripe for a return on the digital front.Yo, so who's ready to boycott EVO if they don't announce their game tonight?

Eh, already got my hotel room so I know I'm going. I'll just compete in AE and then get drunk the rest of the weekend while begging someone to play Skullgirls with me.Yo, so who's ready to boycott EVO if they don't announce their game tonight?

Watched Julia, pretty much the only character I enjoyed playing in sfxt.
Nice work by capcom there making her a more "skillful" character.

And I'm telling you that I can't hear any differences in the themes. I JUST got done listening to them again after being asked to, and aside from what I pointed out, I can't tell them apart. How is this difficult for people to comprehend?
Guess I should of been a little more descriptive with my post, lol.
If FGC-GAF had their way, it would be Capcom exclusive.
Dude, are the NM dudes getting a suite or something? It would be sick to play you guys again.

And it was teams only.
WWE 13. Tag teams, naturally. The hole left by SFxTK shall be filled. Custom characters allowed so we can see Bison versus Heihachi.
Mainly because they sound different. Like, objectively different, not subjective. I am seriously not messing with you, you might want to go to the ear doctor.

Those are different things. No one said "there changed it in a MAJOR way!", just that they changed. And now you figured it out, congrats.
edit- well I didn't say that, and that's all that matters.

Wasn't that you poking fun at SFxT? I remember some folks on SRK bitching up the bitchiest storm I've ever seen because it looked like it was down for the count. They made the BB protests look like child's play.

...those few seconds in the beginning are why people like it? Seriously? That's even more ridiculous than me not being able to tell the difference. Holy shit. It's what, 5 seconds? I thought people were talking about the main tune, not the tiny instrument in the beginning.

I got a suite for me and 2-3 others but not sure what everyone else is doing. I'll be bringing a console to practice so we can play for sure.Dude, are the NM dudes getting a suite or something? It would be sick to play you guys again.
We're also having an event here on Feb 16 if any of you guys can come. AE/UMVC3/TTT2/P4A/KOF plus TTT2 Pair Play tourney and we want to do a 5v5v5 in UMVC3 (CO/NM/TX).
I'll post a thread on your board about it this weekend.Professor Beef

I didn't mention you. I'm talking about people who prefer Vanilla's to Ultimate.
No, it's not just the first few seconds. The original, as stated by someone else, did sound fuller in how they did it.
Like they're still the same song....just, different.
A Pretty Panda

I don't like whatever filter they added to the announcer for Ultimate to make him sound more like the TVC guy.

Oh yeah, pretty sure some of us are down to go for that. Most of my family lives in Albuquerque and some of the guys (Recon, mostly) is already counting of me to let them crash over at my sister's place, haha.

"Fuller?" That sounds like a word you use when you can't properly describe something.
And those 5 seconds aren't enough to make those two themes seem different.
Okay.
You have a marching band drum pit play a song.
You then have the same song played, note for note, but you have one drummer do it.
It's the same song with hardly any change, but there's no way it sounds the same. Hence the term "fuller".
Never, not while my code is running!
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Richer then. Geez.
It's not about the beginning though, the instrumentation in general is better. Ultimate sounds like they took it and ran it through a MIDI sequencer with the main riff set to the most tinny sounding sample they could find.
And yeah, minion mode off for now, I feel bad for other FG GAF when discussions like this happen. :lol
