The Wizard that our dear friend Lupinko talks about, is he Dr Strange ,or is it Mandarin? (wears green robes, has 12 rings)
That...that would actually be pretty badass and smart. Mandarin would work REALLY well in this game. Doctor Strange would too, but we're a bit low on bad guys at the moment. Maybe both if this game once announced gets a late 2012 release date for itself (which would be awesome since they'd have time to really do some stuff to the game balane, online and roster).
QUOTE=ReXXXSoprano]The only 2 things I've learned from this thread are Strider's in and there's a whole lot of people who won't be playing Super. But why?
You're wishing for the demise of X-Factor right? Not gonna happen. More likely than not characters will get nerfed because of what X-Factor does for them and not the mechanic itself. X-Factor is fine just the way it is. It's just that intelligent players have found a way to make it work for them and those who actually need Level 3 to even the playing field have it too. Comeback mechanics are just what they are comeback mechanics. I really think they should just have an option to turn it off to appease both parties but that may just splinter the community anyway. So that may do more harm than good but having the option just makes it fair for those who don't wanna deal with it.
If (Insert Character Here) isn't in then I'm not buying? (Sarcasm) Of course that's the case. When it comes to this type of stuff nobody is ever happy when the smoke clears. So you can wishlist all you want but you know for a fact some of what you wish for isn't gonna happen. And you know deep inside your gonna buy the game no matter what so just be easy and enjoy what's there.
(Insert Character Here) is so fucking godlike/or just unplayable and can't compete so where's DAT NERF KING/BUFF QUEEN when you need them? I have no doubt that Super will see to this but you're asking for balance in a VS game where there rarely is any and that's not gonna change anytime soon. It's gonna get right a little but it's still gonna be chaotic no matter what happens. And as long as what was done to Sentinel is never repeated I think we should be good. It just proves that you have to learn to adapt and deal and not cry that you're getting raped by Sentinel because not only does he gets dealt with on a regular basis now which proves that taking 300K was a stupid knee jerk decision to keep that money printing. It also proves that if Super is gonna do this they need to be really careful on making decisions like that.
The words for this thread are REALISTIC and EXPECTATIONS. If you don't have both and the combination of the two you will be disappointed at whatever this may become.[/QUOTE]
Sorry, but much of your post shows that you haven't seen whats been happening in the tourney scene that is now flooding online. Things like wolverine with no meter and popping lvl 1 x-factor being able to body not 1 but 2 characters if he starts his combo. Finals recently showed that with his current damage output whoever hits first with him on point is almost certain to win.
I agree that a comeback mechanic is critical to keeping the game accessible to new players. I wasn't very experienced at big combos and serious tactics before this game and that tool helped me stick it out in rough situations long enough to learn a few. However, its overpowered at levels 2 and 3. It shouldn't be so strong.
Also some characters lack mobility like Hsien Ko and Haggar and each would likely be pretty good with some way to get inside...sadly even with assists its a struggle at times for these characters and they are usually relegated to assists on teams instead of any other roles. Few make a comeback with either of these characters alone.
Finally, Dark Phoenix has proven that giving a character every kind of mobility, and offensive tool in conjunction with the ability to potentially resurrect as something with so much chip damage you can't even block them is bad at any health level. The game is about opening people up to start a combo...hers dont end and once she goes Dark its nearly impossible to survive chip. You think Hyper Sentinel Force was bad with X-factor? Its got nothing on x-factor (or non) Dark Phoenix spam. Especially since she has teleports and can cross you up constantly with orbs into her stuff.
I'm, not even sure there is a way to fix her even if you made everyone immune to chip damage from her dark form. She has every tool and Dark form boosts her so hard they all get faster and bigger. She may never be livable in any form.
