MarlinPie can block. The problem is when he does, the game is completely broken at that point because you can't comprehend the nature of his attack n shit. :lol

If anything, the relentless offense of MvC3 is what makes it infinitely better to watch than other games. There's a sweet spot for pacing, but the urgency MvC3 brings is what keeps it tense, the transition between offense and defense is much quicker. Fuck up and you could lose a crucial element of your team to bright colours flying across the screen. It's high stakes, which gives it the erroneous "random" feel. X-Factor is a threat, yes matches can come down to X-Factor use but I actually like that. You have X-Factor and meter which are just additional items for your arsenal on top of your moves. Whoever used them most effectively reaps the rewards. X-Factor brings the hype and is a crucial element of why MvC3 is so hype. Ain't nothing random about it. Gamble it early? Your fault. Save it for later and not get a chance to use it? Your fault. Fuck up a guard cancel? Your fault. It ain't perfect, but it's not a free win either. Not even close.

And it's only getting more interesting with set ups that force you to blow X-Factor or test your faith in endurance. If you find the damage boosts uninteresting, find solace in people trying to make others lose the precious resource.

You know why top players think that long sets are more indicative of skill? Because then it doesn't come down on a random fuckup or novelties which is basically what marvel 3 is founded on.


But i guess it comes down to decide between a solid game and one who's fun to watch because HYPE BABY.

Thank you Lord Haunts.

Did you enjoy KoF? Did you enter in it? Catch any of the MLG KoF?

Also, most of the thread has been chat about how unhype SFxT is, and the hopes from a lot of us that it becomes a 2v2 game to possibly make it more interesting.

Novelties?

If "solid game" translates to "boring game" like Justin Wong thinks, no thanks.
 
Then how come Marvel isn't 3/5 yet when it needs it since it has no rounds?

And Marvel isn't based on random mess ups or novelties. It is based on spacing, mix ups, frame data but at a high octane speed.

And yes, marvel three follows this as well surprisingly.
