Note 6: After a Snapback, the amount of time that the snapped in character cannot call assists has been increased.

Note 7: Now, no character can block during their air dashes.

Note 8: Overall meter building has been reduced to around 90% of what it was before.

Note 10: All characters who have 8-way dashes have had theirs slowed down.

phoenix wright is a multi stance character
investigation stance, court stance and turnabout stance
each stance has a different move set
he also has an additional bar along with the hyper bar in which he stores pieces of evidence that you have to pick up by pressing S and any normal
the thing is you can either get a solid piece of evidence or junk
if you get junk you have to throw it away for solid evidence

there's 4 different types of evidence that you can pull
each do something different in court stance like shoot different types of projectiles
you can freely switch between those two stances
however to get the turnabout stance, which is the only stance you can do the level 3 in, you need to have 3 solid pieces of evidence and hit them with your text box move
then you go into like this mode for a brief amount of time where all your specials are buffed and you are able to do level 3
level 3 is not a counter
His level 3 hits everywhere on screen.

Heroes and Heralds Mode
Cam Trailer

Heroes and Heralds mode is a FREE POST-LAUNCH DLC, optional game mode that is separate from the core game and can be played offline or online that allows for a new style of play. The game mode centres around collecting and equipping ability cards to your teams to power them up and give them new abilities. There are 100+ ability cards to collect, and they contain cameos of characters from Marvel, Capcom, and Marvel vs. Capcom history.

In Heroes and Heralds mode, you pick a faction: either the Heroes that unite against Galactus, or the Heralds of Galactus that are trying to destroy Earth. Herald teams have a shiny silver texture much like the Heralds of Galactus did in arcade mode. Offline, you play against the CPU battling for control over zones (stages) which are controlled by the opposing faction. By defeating the CPU opponents and regaining control of zones (reportedly if you clear a line of zones on the grid), you can earn more cards and unlock new zones to bring the battle to. Online, you can choose a faction every week and battle against other players online from the opposing faction in these same zones in a persistent push/pull which you can see the current status of at any time. Tentatively, at the end of the week the wins and losses are totaled and the winning team wins more cards for use, and the score is reset for the next week. PR that talked about clans was just actually referring to you picking Heroes or Heralds for the week.

Now, on to the meat of it; the ability cards:
- Cards offer unique abilities to characters, and can range from invisibility, to granting characters new moves such as teleports, extra jumps, and dashes.
- Some cards grant multiple abilities.
- Equipping cards is on a per-team basis, not a per-character one
- You can equip up to a maximum of 3 cards for your team, 3 cards is a "deck"
- The order of cards has significance in your deck, the primary card's function will be more prominent than the two secondary cards' functions (i.e. an example Seth gave was that one card would start you with 3 meters if primary, 2 meters if secondary)
- You cannot use two of the same card in a single deck
- Some cards are rarer than others to acquire than others
- The game will offer 3 deck slots that you can preset and customize. These are separate from your 3 team slots that you could already preset and customize in MvC3 (and are returning in UMvC3)
- You can see what cards your opponent has equipped, and the abilities they grant on the loading screen before a match and the intros. You can see the abilitiy icons during the match as they appear below the health bars on the HUD
- Some abilities are persistent, some have activation conditions. The specifics at the moment are TBD and being tweaked by the devs
- There are over 1.12 million combinations of cards (according to Capcom PR)
- You can win cards off of others, though this was only briefly mentioned and not detailed
- All the card artwork is brand new. Marvel is doing the art for the Marvel cards and Capcom is doing the art for the Capcom cards
- DLC cards are TBD
