-Make an option to play Phoenix with 800k health and no Dark mechanic.
-Vergil should get the "Phoenix treatment" in the patch. This means nerfed into the ground.
-Something should be done to missles. Maybe they should have the same property as drones. If Doom gets tagged then they are gone.
-Zero's hitbox should not be at your front and back at the same time.
-NOBODY should be able to teleport behind a character in the corner.
-Meter gain/loss TACs should be removed. It's stupid payoff for no real risk.
-Give Thor a hammer throw projectile with the QC+Special. It can be like Cap's shield. Make either that or Mighty Strike (M) OTG in the air. (think Phoenix otg fireball or like Zero's lightning otg thing )
-Wesker should do less damage.
-Make an option to play Phoenix with 800k health and no Dark mechanic.
-Meter gain/loss TACs should be removed. It's stupid payoff for no real risk.
These aren't really necessary. Phoenix is still fine as-is. If you build a team around abusing the flight cancel glitch, you can use it to hoard meter just as easily as someone can use it to take it away.

:eek: I love coming in here to read creative ideas people have. Of course some of them are way off, but it is what it is, right?
First off, anyone suggesting that Spencer's up grapple needs to be "fixed" is 1] salty or 2] a (ex-)Spider-Man player. I honestly hope people realize that unscaled grapples are the ONLY thing he has going for him as a character. He has no mixup. His mobility, which is commonly touted as his biggest strength, is completely one hundred percent free to grabs...a tool which, in this game, has consistently shown is more powerful than the already-present post grab scaling for combos suggests (please note I am not suggesting throws should be changed...well, maybe make them two buttons).
Next, you guys should think deeper into why things that seem OP actually seem that way. As Ve already pointed out, taking Lightning Loops away only fix a problem for the short term; yes, while the idea of buster canceling as we know it is kinda silly (and charging through the super flash is kinda really dumb), the real problem is that he gets meter positive KOs from it because his scaling is fked. The scaling on some of these characters is a definite issue.
Finally, while I have a whole laundry list of things that would be super sweet to implement (but won't happen), I think we should all turn this thread into a How-To-Make-Hsien-Ko-The-Best-Ever thread. So, to the guy who said that Tenrai-Ha should have a fullscreen no-damage low untechable hitbox when the press lands, I say YES. Extremely creative and has tons of applications. Imagine fullscreen XF Tenrai-Ha DHC Dark Dimension. Super sick. People have also mentioned canceling Senpu Bu, which seems natural at this point to be honest. It would be no different tactically than canceling Taskmaster's Mighty Swing (which is infinitely faster and has a powerful option select). I do not agree, however, with the dude above who says Senpu Bu should hit OTG. While many things wouldn't break Hsien-Ko, THAT property would take her right out of the park...wayyyyyyy too good, even for someone in her condition right now.
Don't wanna rain on peoples' parades (don't even know why I'm still typing--nobody really reads these, right?), but didn't Capcom release a statement saying that the dev teams for Marvel have already scattered to the four corners of the game production world? The actual chances for ANYTHING related to this game are more or less exactly zero (pew).
Mr TwisterYou hate to see this kind of thing happenJoined: Posts: 1,069✭
I have to say I just plain laugh at people who think Hidden Missiles should disappear when Doom is hit. Good luck covering them and making the assist remotely useful if that happens, it stays out for a really goddamned long time. Seriously. I'd rather an assist be really good over really bad. The assist would be nearly useless. Morrigan Soul Fists in Astral Vision would still be able to cover them long enough unless you had like a full-screen invincible beam Hyper or something, or used a level 3, so it wouldn't really mitigate the problem of Morridoom that everybody seems to hate so much. You'd also have to change it so the Missiles disappear when Doom is on point as well. If that didn't happen, it'd translate to me as "Stalking Flare will no longer disappear when Dormammu is hit, unless he DHCs into it.". I know this is a balance thread, but come on, the assist needs some use. Doom is out for too long for that to make any sense. Any sort of beam or attack that hits multiple targets, which translates to almost every attack in the game would stop the assist dead in it's tracks.
You know what? Forget it, every attack turns your team into Zero/Dante/Vergil from now on. Make it happen Capcom.
Nerf the elitist attitude of "pro" players who think they know what's best for the game when they probably don't.
Fixed. Besides, nobody has actually stated that who you refer to as average players have any credibility or any say in this supposed patch that likely will not happen. Unless you meant "sense of entitlement", in which case, learn what words mean before using them.

The way it is now is so easy to cover Doom though. Even if you start a combo to punish both point and Doom then one of the missles comes down to ruin your day. They can make his recovery faster from the assist so long as they disappear if you hit him BEFORE he has launched the last missle. It wouldn't make it a bad assist, it would just make it so people wouldn't have Doom on auto-assist the entire match. If you catch Ammy/Strider/Sentinel (all comparable, great assist) and kill them easily due to the fact that they have lower life and their assist end when touched (if you catch strider when he first comes out) then Doom's shouldn't be THAT broken. He's got higher health and the missles somewhat cover a huge combo punish. There needs to be some sort of balance with it.
Fixed. Besides, nobody has actually stated that who you refer to as average players have any credibility or any say in this supposed patch that likely will not happen. Unless you meant "sense of entitlement", in which case, learn what words mean before using them.
There is a history of (bad) changes that have been directly influenced by the average player, with most of those changes reflecting their exaggeration.
Also, you're either a tourney-placing player or an average one, but either way I'd much rather accept balance changes from the former if a "patch that wouldn't likely happen" happened.
1. Fix behind hitting hitboxes on moves that clearly look like it hits in one direction
2. Scale damage significantly on combos that start from assists (this is already done with certain assists i.e Chris' gunfire)
3. Ability to pushblock assists
4. Air throws only performed with 6or4H.. no more 3or9H option selects
5. More yellow health and less red health in general i.e less damage overall (but not too low)
6. Increased time on ability to grab/air grab someone after blockstun
Character specific:
1. No Astral Vision meter building
2. Nerf air command grab resets (She-hulk, Haggar, Skrull)
3. Wesker command grab 4 frames or higher
4.Zero..
Raikosen nerf overall. (startup, hitbox, hitstun, etc)
LL nerf (maybe loop limit of 2 or 3)
No buster canceling command dashes or increase startup and/or recovery
5. Hidden Missiles vanish if Doom gets hit it, or at the very least nerf the tracking
6. Increase height restriction on tri-jump overheads
7. Increase startup of Rapidslash
8. Spencer general damage nerf or simply scale his vertical grapples (spencer player btw, so I'm not biased)
I pretty much like the game the way it is other than Astral Vision being a full retard super for only burning a meter and Zero being balanced by a crack addict.
Yeah the game's got durpy stuff and whatever but the top players especially have learned to adapt to a lot of it and seeing Fanatiq block all of that cross up shit J.Wong's Vergil was doing on reaction was inspiring to say the least. It's just a game where you have to be playing it and just have to be able to have that gut reaction to block setups when you're in those situations. Otherwise of course the first thing is to make a team that allows you to avoid setups in the first place.
I have Skullgirls and VF5 FS if I wanna play less durpy games any way.
Most of the stuff I wanted changed/fixed outside of XF2/3 still being a bit retarded already got fixed in Ultimate. It's actually pretty surprising how much of the stuff I was hoping Doom, Morrigan and others would get that they ended up getting (which is funny cuz they both work really well together now).
So instead...I'm just gonna list what I predict Capcom will most likely change (more specifically nerf cuz that's all they do) regarding the cast.
Bold = Anyone that gets discussed a lot regarding their strength that Capcom will most likely address very carefully.
Akuma: Might possibly buff his health to 800k. Probably gonna keep him the same otherwise.
Ammy: Eh...probably gonna stay the same minus maybe a slight damage buff. Probably the same otherwise.
Arthur: Might actually get a dash. Probably some extra buffs to his projectiles. Probably not though.
C.Viper: Probably have a damage scaling reduction or just overall damage nerf on some her moves. Will most likely stay the same otherwise. I'm pretty sure Capcom is certain she doesn't need any actual buffs.
Captain America: Doubt he's getting much. He got a lot of buffs already and Capcom probably won't do too much extra to him to keep with the whole "make everybody unique" philosophy.
Chris Redfield: Probably gonna be the same. Might even get a damage nerf just cuz Capcom nerfs.
Chun Li: Most likely gonna stay the same. I wish they would improve her projectile game just a bit more but...they gonna do them.
Dante: Most likely gonna stay the same. They might actually buff his damage a bit...but probably not.
Deadpool: Same.
Doctor Strange: Might get a forward/back air dash. Could possibly get safer frames on normals and projectiles. That's about all I would think he would get though.
Dorm: Most likely will get nerfs to hit boxes on his normals or the damage on his supers. Probably get a nerf to the speed of f+H. Probably staying the same other than that.
Dr.Doom: Will most likely get a Wolverine style nerf to his dive kick hit box that still won't keep it from being very durp. Might get a damage reduction.
Hidden Missiles is too important to have in a game where if you get touched, you die or get really really fucked up. Don't expect any changes to the assist because the assist isn't relevant for at least 3 or 4 seconds any way and plenty of characters have moves that push them past the missiles. I'm pretty sure Capcom realizes Morrigan is most of the problem and will just leave the rest up to people playing smart against the assist.
Felicia: Most likely gonna stay the same.
Firebrand: Might get a damage buff. Otherwise will probably stay the same.
Frank West: Same.
Ghost Rider: Probably will get a damage buff. Might get chip damage normals as he was originally rumored to have.
Haggar: Same.
Hawkeye: Might get some buffed hit boxes or frames on some of his normals. Otherwise same.
Hsien Ko: Hopefully gets a speed increase. Maybe longer duration on armor.
Hulk: Probably the same.
Iron Fist: Will probably get improved hit box on launcher. Will probably stay the same other than that.
Iron Man: Maybe another buff to some of his hit boxes and maybe his dash. Might get other insignificant buffs. Very likely he won't get any changes as I'm sure Capcom probably feels we're just missing something with him. He was the most switched around character in the game pretty much. Even more so than Dante. You don't do that much changing unless you're confident in your changes.
Jill: Possibly maybe a damage increase. Might get an extra aerial option. Otherwise same.
MODOK: Most likely the same.
Magneto: Might get another nerf to his gravitation special. Otherwise will probably stay the same.
Morrigan: Most likely will have astral vision nerfed in some way. Either it won't build meter (outside of comboing into soul drain) or it will deactivate if she is hit. Or both.
Nemesis: Probably get buffs to the frames on his normals and possibly his supers.
Nova: Same.
Phoenix: Same.
Phoenix Wright: Might get damage or speed buff. Otherwise same. He was made to be gimmicky on purpose so doubt they're going to do anything much to do that.
Rocket Raccoon: Could get a health buff. Possibly damage buff also. Other than that...same.
Ryu: Could possibly get the ability to OTG combo off air throw somehow without using super. Probably not cuz Capcom.
Sentinel: Could possibly see a speed or damage increase. Really doubt they'll give him more health because they are most likely still scarred from all the scrub whining early on.
She Hulk: Possibly damage buff and fixes to her emerald cannon super. Other than that...same.
Shuma Gorath: Maybe a speed or damage buff. Otherwise same.
Spencer: Most like gonna have added scaling to some of his specials and nerfed damage. Speed on grapples will most likely stay the same. Same otherwise.
Spider Man: Probably the same.
Storm: Could use a damage buff but probably the same.
Strider Hiryu: Possibly a health buff, Ouroboros might end up lasting a bit longer (most likely not on both though).
Super Skrull: Same.
Taskmaster: Same. Might get a slight health nerf. Probably not though.
Thor: Same except maybe some from changes.
Trish: Same.
Tron: May get buff to her frames or hit boxes. Otherwise same.
Vergil: Most likely nerf to frames and hit boxes. Otherwise the same.
V.Joe: Same.
Wesker: Will probably get nerf to a couple hit boxes. Most likely will retain shades power up.
Wolverine: Might get change to scaling on some moves (specifically fatal claw super).
X-23: Possibly a health or damage buff. Probably not much else.
Zero: Nerf to damage scaling, hit boxes and MAYBE nerf to buster cancelling.
General Stuff: XF might get another nerf, TAC's may actually be affected by scaling before you touch the ground...but don't expect any other changes.

You know what? Forget it, every attack turns your team into Zero/Dante/Vergil from now on. Make it happen Capcom.
Yeah the assist doesn't have a relevant hit box unless you're high up in the air near Doom for at least 3 to 4 seconds. One of the best assists but overall overrated.
Skullgirls (I PLAY ONLINE): Team 2 Girls and a Goop girl = Painwheel (c.MP Cruel Lily) OR Valentine (Vial Hazard: Type A) / Kassandrasoul (NapalmPillar) / Double (MK Hornet Bomber)
UMVC3 (I DONT PLAY THIS ONLINE): MAIN ??????????? = C.MILF (Falcon Kick) / Morrigana (Armonia Oscuro)/ Dane (HAM Session) Team Viper May Missiles = C.MILF (Falcon Kick) / Mr.Dr.Doom (Undercover Missiles) / Dane (HAM Session)
Side Team = Team 3 Assists = Man of Iron (Spirit Blast) / Mr.Dr.Doom (Undercover Missiles) / Akuma (Kotatsu)
I dont want anything to big as far as balancing but Zero: fix his damage scaling Vergil: helmbreaker should be -3 on block Doom: Return him to vanilla level,he is too derp...as much as I hate the missles that are hidden this game needs more good assist Sent: He is like a toy in this game,give him 1.1 or 1.2 million HP Spencer: that grapple should scale She-hulk return her to vanilla Tron; Like someone else sad give her fire assist some armor and bring her back to vanilla Morrigan: Should not gain meter during astral vision Magneto: Decrease his damage abit Iron-Man: bring back his vanilla dash Phoenix Wright: make his normals better Ghost rider: Normals do chip and make him faster Thor: Put him in umvc3 please Hsien-ko: Senpu-bu should be cancel able also make it so it can otg,faster start up on all her moves,make her air dash faster,give her a double jump,combo off her command grab and give it faster start up,give her a small damage buff,increase the timer on rimoukon last thing increase the start up on chretiou Strider: More damage and orbs should last longer
now for gameplay,lower the damage on xfactor 2/3 slowdown TAC so its easier to counter

Individual character changes this far in the games life are completely unnecessary.
Only three system changes I REEEEEEALLLLY want.
-Fix the fucking Magic Pixel. They basically lied and somehow made it even worse in this game.
-Fix hitboxes on basically everything. As Nobus would say they are "pants on head" retarded and that is not an exaggeration.
-Cannot call assist while tech rolling. Getting a mix-up after you got knocked down just because you have a assist with broke priority is stupid. (Looks at Tatsu and Shopping Cart)
I can live with all the other stupid shit in this game for the most part.
If a system change occurs the first thing I want gone is assists still coming out attacking when the point character is hit and the point character slowing down when their assist is hit. This shit is the thing I have the biggest problem with in this game.
The game is evolving in some interesting ways and if ECT4 showed us anything, it showed us that UMvC3 is the HYPEST game out there right now. No need to fuck with that.
If something Must be changed, make Iron Man good. Tony deserves better than that. But even then I'd rather have them change nothing if making him better means fucking with the whole game.

HOGOSHA made a fucking beautiful post the other day and here is a snip:
"All that said...the entire Marvel series is made of stupid bullshit. Storm made a billion characters straight up unpickable in MVC2. You wanna play Wolverine in MVC2? Tough, your opponent controls the weather. How about Ruby Heart? Have fun never hitting the opponent because she's HAAAH HAAAH HAAAAH-ing 89 feet above your dome. The only thing that makes UMVC3 different from any other Marvel game is the fact that every character, upon hitting the opponent, can either 0 to death a character or hit 4 buttons and 0 to death a character. In a 2 out of 3 setting revolving around a team-based game, this can help people occasionally get away with things that they can't get away with in other games. And now we see even THAT slowly disappearing because Chris G is forcing people to think before they put a team together.
How fucking DARE he."
ChrisG comment aside (which I 100% agree with) Hogosha is right on the money.
People are seriously complaining about MARVEL? It's supposed to be broken and stupid. I thought that's what everyone loved about it... Or were most of you melon farmers just lying?
Change nothing.

Most of balance wishes are regarding characters I've used. I don't agree with nerfing characters to substitute me becoming a better player i.e. learning match-ups or how to block, but I feel there are some things in the game that are unprecedented, or weren't thought through properly.
Doctor Strange: Let Doctor Strange's crouching Light be a low attack, especially since his standing Light hits misses some of the cast.
Make his Spell of Vishanti safer- on hit. Why does the opponent recover before he does after his airborne version?
He should be able to block after air versions of Daggers of Denak.
Let his medium teleport cross-up opponents in the corner. Don't tell me he's a master of the mystic arts, yet couldn't figure out how to go behind an oppoent in the corner.
Improve his wavedash.
Strider: Improve the hitstun on Strider's hard Vajra, so that he can confirm off it properly.
Possibly adjust his Mission 10 combo. It's kind of a punishment; having the execution to perform it but being restricted by the number of hits preceding the wall cling.
Ghost Rider: Improve the recovery on some of his moves. I understand why he has poor start up on his normals due to the range of some of his attacks, but he is extremely punishable on most of his attacks.
Magneto: Improve the recovery on his Magnetic Shockwave.
Tron: Decrease the pushback on her air H.
She-Hulk: Reinstate her slide. Why give characters who can zone such as Hawkeye and Deadpool, the ability to cover ground or get in on opponents, while make it harder for characters who can't play keepaway to get in?
Captain America: Make the charging stars cancellable during earlier parts of their animations.
IMPROVE THE NETCODE: I'm cool with some of the online only tactics. But how does Taskmaster whiff a charging star then throw me afterwards? That one was new.
Nerf's
Wesker: Remove glasses buff. Seriously, how can you reward a character for being hit?
Morrigan: Unable to build meter during Astral Vision. In retrospect, was it an oversight of the developers, considering what Chris G's doing with it now?
Zero: The lightening from the Raikousen should only go as far as Zero does, before he cancels it i.e. if you immediately cancel the medium Raikousen into the buster the lightening shouldn't be fullscreen while Zero remains in his original position.
Vergil: Spiral Swords should cause absolute guard, considering we start the game with a meter. He gets an inescapable unblockable with these if he calls an overhead assist. Shoutout to Intuitive 2011.
Shouldn't Be Changed
I don't think hidden missiles should disappear if Doctor Doom is hit. You can block as normal while these hit you, and the stun it creates is not as bad as or the Weasel Shot and Cold Star (I faced Zak Bennett; I know what I'm talking about). And not only can he be hit during their call, the sooner you do so the fewer come out.
I don't think people should be asking for the lightening loops to be nerfed. Considering that the execution required to pull them off is greater that you holding back in the first place. He requires a lot of practice to use. If you're using players who require less work but have a high reward i.e. WESKER, don't be asking for other characters to be nerfed.
If you use both Zero AND Wesker, maintain your neutrality lol.
Personal wishlist
Give Captain America his shield slash loops back!

Morrigan gaining double the meter in Astral Vision would be absurd. She already built more meter in vanilla; which was a shit ton thanks to how long AV combos could go on for and vanilla's absurd meter gain. There's no reason for her to gain more than she already does.
I don't think they should remove the meter gain from Astral Vision seeing as how it behaves like the other "pure" install hypers like it(aside from Firebrand's who just breaks the norm) and it kinda fits Morrigan's design as a character that's supposed to build meter as fast as she can eat it. I can see why they would take meter gain away though considering how powerful a super it is. I wouldn't mind them reducing meter gain on it though. I would rather take no meter gain on it rather than it going away on hit though.

I'm honestly surprised that I forgot to mention buffing Tron. j. knockback reduction would be beautiful, it seems Bonne Strike M upon landing is the only way to convert off of it now, and that kind of scales your combo fairly badly. I didn't play Tron in Vanilla so I can't pass judgement on how good she was or how stupid broken GF assist was, but give her something useful as an assist would be nice. Also, greatly improve the durability of Servbot Takeout's initial shot, there's no reason that should get beat out by a goddamned Hadoken. Speaking of Servbot Takeout, make it come out when hitting an assist. It's horribly unsafe when it whiffs or is blocked, and it's stupid that they would make it possible to use an assist to take a single very low damage hit and ruin the whole combo and lead to death for Tron. Also, give her H attacks a hit of armor, and make Bonne Strike projectile nullifying.

I wouldn't worry about that troll post crap about her gaining double meter. It's just typical "Marvel should be broken stuff". Marvel is oppressive...not broken. Broken means there's no way to play the game in a way where people can think about what they are doing and that's just not true.
From there something has to be done about astral vison though. There's a lot of tech that will eventually brew from it that will shut down a lot of the cast and it's tech that doesn't even involve missiles. Missiles helps for space control but it's only a matter of time before people see the powerful shit that super can do without missiles that will still nullify a lot of teams. Morrigan + Missiles is only the start really.
The problem with building meter as fast as you eat it is that with a character like Morrigan she won't really need to eat very much and her upcoming tech once figured out for tournament play will allow her to essentially build the meter faster than she eats it.
People think nerfing missiles will solve shit and it will only solve one aspect of Morrigan's astral vision while just setting up people to make the other powerful tech practical instead. Then also bringing the game back to where everyone is forced to pick teams that can't protect themselves from rushdown situations and just a lot of "first to touch" kinda matches. Plus nerfing an assist that covers the aerial which is hugely important in this version of the game.
The UMVC3 scene will be in for quite the reckoning when they realize that Morrigan + Missiles is only one of the great astral vision setups. It's a whole Ginyu Force of team tech that will eventually rise and piss everyone off the same or more.
Skullgirls (I PLAY ONLINE): Team 2 Girls and a Goop girl = Painwheel (c.MP Cruel Lily) OR Valentine (Vial Hazard: Type A) / Kassandrasoul (NapalmPillar) / Double (MK Hornet Bomber)
UMVC3 (I DONT PLAY THIS ONLINE): MAIN ??????????? = C.MILF (Falcon Kick) / Morrigana (Armonia Oscuro)/ Dane (HAM Session) Team Viper May Missiles = C.MILF (Falcon Kick) / Mr.Dr.Doom (Undercover Missiles) / Dane (HAM Session)
Side Team = Team 3 Assists = Man of Iron (Spirit Blast) / Mr.Dr.Doom (Undercover Missiles) / Akuma (Kotatsu)
Dorm: Most likely will get nerfs to hit boxes on his normals or the damage on his supers. Probably get a nerf to the speed of f+H. Probably staying the same other than that.
Dr.Doom: Will most likely get a Wolverine style nerf to his dive kick hit box that still won't keep it from being very durp. Might get a damage reduction.
Hidden Missiles is too important to have in a game where if you get touched, you die or get really really fucked up. Don't expect any changes to the assist because the assist isn't relevant for at least 3 or 4 seconds any way and plenty of characters have moves that push them past the missiles. I'm pretty sure Capcom realizes Morrigan is most of the problem and will just leave the rest up to people playing smart against the assist.
Yeah the assist doesn't have a relevant hit box unless you're high up in the air near Doom for at least 3 to 4 seconds. One of the best assists but overall overrated.
Seriously dude, I know how much I love the Dread Lord and while I can see a slight nerf to his hypers, how is nerfing his hitboxes even an option? He hits right where the move seems to be hitting... yeah, his moves cross up BUT THAT'S EXACTLY the way they look, Helm Breaker hits where it shouldn't hit, that's something that needs to be fixed. Dorm needs those hitboxes to be able to open the enemy and have a good pressure game.
Dorm is fine and if anything gets nerfed, it should be the damage from Chaotic Flame, that's it.
Also, have you seen Doom's divekick on the PS Vita? The hitbox is fine, the problem is that people don't block against Doom... seriously, stop dashing and stop using mediocre anti-airs whenever Doom is above you, just block.
However Doom's missiles should disappear whenever he gets hit, that already happens with characters like Nova, Dorm (flame carpet),Sentinel (drones), Trish, Rocket Raccoon (traps) etc. It should be the same for Doom, the assist is broken as fuck, the missiles stay on the screen for far too long and can be easily spammed and it's almost impossible to score a good punish without getting hit with them.
They have the following properties:
OTG
GTFO
Lockdown
Air control
Combo extenders
Chip Damage
Seriously? One single assist offers all that bullshit?? And you believe it's fine the way it is?
The only way to punish that level of BS and make it 100% safe is to burn meter and get a full screen hyper. That's ridiculous.
I LOL'd when somebody said that the assist would be destroyed if the missiles disappear, how about using the assist with a teleport or a side change? That is legit, otherwise, IT'S BULLSHIT.
Anyway, Doom has other awesome assist options, the problem is that Missiles is as braindead as possible.
My opinions on the possible changes are just based on what I feel Capcom might do. They'll do anything to nerf a character and changing hit boxes isn't off the table. Probably won't happen but I can see it being possible.
See you can list all of this stuff about missiles...the issue is that the assist still is balanced by having an extremely long start up before it becomes relevant in the neutral. During that time it can get blown up by a lot of stuff and there's a lot of characters that can blow up both the point character and the assist doing their basic run of the mill stuff. People will just need to create better start of round strats to deal with missiles.
It only gets close to overpowered with Morrigan ATM from what I've seen. A lot of other teams have to have Doom as anchor where he's a subpar anchor at best to get a similar type of power.

Can't wait for some Zero/Morr/Doom or Dorm/Morri/Doom shit to go down.

Yeah and that's only the beginning. There's a lot of crazy good shit that won't even have Doom on the team. Morrigan is the right type of character to control a lot of screen space and has solid defensive options without the use of missiles. She can carry herself without the assist very easily which will eventually lead to the rise of other oppressive Morrigan teams that will have the ability to kill you probably faster than Morrigan + Missiles does.
The slow death of Morrigan + Missiles is only one of the oppressive ways to kill people off with astral vision.

It isn't the character using the assist but the assist itself.
Yeah morrigan is fucked up, but Doom as an assist is fucked up as well. Just sayin... not a single assist has that many advantages in the entire game.
Firebrand
Give Firebrand more health, I swear he dies like in one combo Vergil
remove the crumple from his lv 3 hyper Wesker
If your going to make him do 700k when he is in lv 4 x factor then lower his health to around strider's at least Arthur
give him a dash Dormammu
make it so that his stalking flare can't be used as a "chip-to win" move
that's pretty much it.

It isn't the character using the assist but the assist itself.
Yeah morrigan is fucked up, but Doom as an assist is fucked up as well. Just sayin... not a single assist has that many advantages in the entire game.
Yeah true...but it's still balanced by having big flaws that must be compensated for by the point character that can be easily exploited by a lot of relevant teams. If the missiles fired at you immediately on start up instead of flying towards the air...then yeah it would be much more of a problem. Overall it is balanced by needing to be covered by other hit boxes from the point character for a solid period of time for a fighting game.
There's too many teams that people are coming up with that are already dampening the missiles assist EVEN on Morrigan teams. ECT was pretty much ripe with anti missiles teams among the WC players. This is considering it's already been proven that you don't really need an anti missiles team just to fight the assist. Just somebody that can put pressure on the assist constantly from the start of the round.
It still has that pretty crippling weakness that most other power assists don't have which is just having absurdly long start up to affect anything towards the ground or far and away in the air.
Morrigan herself isn't really that fucked up. It's just the super that has really fucked up properties. Considerably more so than missiles assist.

Magneto: Improve the recovery on his Magnetic Shockwave.
This was funny to read given how Thor's Shockwave is like 10 times more unsafe than Magneto's yet no mention was given to him.
Changes I would like to see in the game:
GENERAL
*Pushback increased after teching throws both in the air and on the ground
*Assist is not active once the player actually gets hit
*TAC changes. I would really love it if they make the TAC guaranteed but cost 1 meter and not remove/take meter away. But it's not going to happen.
*Nerf X factor even more so that current XFLVL2 values are new XFLVL3 values in terms of time, speed and damage
*Point character shouldn't go into hit stop animation if the assist character is getting hit
*No moving around before start of the game and no charging moves either
*Mashable hypers changed on a character to character basis so that values are more in line with Vanilla max damage values. Like for example, Storm's hypers should still do about the same damage because she needs that damage but not someone like Dormammu or Wolverine who are already doing a ton of damage but then get even more damage because their hypers do a ton of damage when mashed
*Cannot call assists while tech rolling
*Raw tags don't hit overhead and have slightly more recovery
*You shouldn't be able to juggle assists by mashing on down + S bounce TAC

*Remove cross up Phantom Dance hyper

*Smart Bombs have Vanilla status hit stun initially but have Ultimate hit stun at max hit stun scaling
*A proper ground dash/wave dash
*Return of his Knee Dive move mapped to j d+M
*Proton Cannon has less recovery and can be aimed upward removing the DP Proton Cannon

Nice list, and I can agree with most of those changes, but one I absolutely cannot get behind is not allowing characters to move at the beginning of the round. Any particular reasoning for that?
I would leave the game as it is, for the most part. I feel like it's starting its genesis. It's just now taking off the ground, people are getting serious, the best players are settling into what they think the best teams and strategies are, they're adjusting to the game's questionable mechanics and are learning hwo to manipulate them, and they're ready for the journey. If there is one.
Marvel 2 evolved organically. Perhaps Marvel 3 should be left to do the same. Granted, it's not as free-form and open to evolution as Marvel 2 (from what I take of it), so we should just enjoy it for what it is, if we're going to enjoy anything at all.
Ah, fuck it. Who am I kidding.
Spoiler:
• Faster airdash, faster startup and recovery on forward ground dash
• Give bombs a hitbox or make them a separate command
• A way to combo off her airthrow. Perhaps a cr. OTG.
• Same 2 items, Akuma Statue, then stun item rotation as Vampire Savior for fuzzy guards and corner mixups
• Slightly better scaling
• Not too keen on TRH anvil causing an earthquake knockdown like VSav suggested above, but since these are suggestions are for tinkering with, I'd like to see what the result of adding this would be.
• Pendulum Cancelable through . Returns her to neutral state. I'm curious about the potential for stupid mixups, though. Would they be on par with what exists currently, or would they be Wolvie/Akuma Tatsu levels of stupid?
In all seriousness, I do believe in what I said, though. Maybe it's off; I would like to know if anyone disagrees and why. I have no authority whatsoever and will stop there, though, because any more would descend into the bourgeois "I know what's best" syndrome whose name I'm blanking on right now that pervades this site and video game communities in general.

I think a few more people mentioned this change already. The main reason is that most people just walk up against each other and mash throws. Along with the walk speed of some of the characters, it gives some characters way too huge of an edge at the start of the round. Wolverine instantly comes to mind, coupling his walk speed, his insane up close normals, OS Dive kick and ground throw leading into an XF kill combo makes it way too easy to run a train on the opponent starting at 0 second. This is also compounded by the fact that even if you tech you are still within grab or jab range which makes it a dice roll game at the start. You can go back and watch the GFs of CEO with Justin Wong and Tokido, that basically highlights all the things wrong with walking before start of the round.
I forgot to add to that list that Nova's red health mechanic should be fixed so that it only takes as much red health as it's needed to power up the move to max.

Considering Marvel 2 had one frame c.L's I don't really see it being totally necessary to remove the start of round aspect of the game. There's a lot of spacing mind games that are involved at that start of round event and it's interesting to see how people change it up from round to round. You see Marlin Pie doing all kinds of different jumps and double jumps with Viper to get positional advantage at start of round.

I mostly share your sentiment. Everyone knows that the game has a lot of crazy stuff, but people have settled down with the fact that Marvel just throws a lot of powerful fast shit at your regardless of characters used. People are starting to suck it up and find answers to shit rather than blame Sentinel, Wesker, Phoenix, Morrigan etc. everytime they lose.
It's to the point where people are finally using the game to fight the game like what should have been happening for the past year. Plus the 3 out of 5 format helps to give people time and opportunity to use more than one team as may very well need to be an option in the future against some players. ECT last weekend paved the way for the insight of competitive Marvel that is to be had in the future where there's an actual grind to beat the opponent. You saw people adjust round to round and sometimes people would lose 2 and come back 3.
It's what I've wanted the game to be for a long time and after a WHOLE YEAR of waiting and hoping it's finally coming into fruition. The game's "cheap" or "oppressive" nature actually allows for most of the cast to be very viable and it's amazing to see stuff like She Hulk in top 8 in ULTIMATE. Not Vanilla....UMVC3. LOL.

As long as they add more pushback after you tech a throw, the start of the round stuff would be fine imo. I think it would also make sense if both characters couldn't move until they hit the ground if they tech an air-throw.
Yeah, more pushback on throw techs would still keep the mindgames at the start of the game marvel has always been known for while preventing this shit.

Well no good player is actually going to do that. You can just chicken block after the first tech to neutralize the situation. If you know they're going to mash on f+H some more you won't have to worry about the low hit jump trap any way.
It is something that should get fixed, but there's already ways around the problem with simple techniques.

The intelligent posts above reflect my sentiment. Also I LOL at removing a crucial aspect of Dorm's gameplan someone mentioned by nerfing Stalker Flare.
Also:
She Hulk's lampost negates projectiles like Dorm's normals do
Gets a two way airdash
Emerald Cannon forces a wallbounce
X-23 Can MFC ankle slicer(to allow her to combo off of her OTG)
This will allow her to combo off of her OTG which will open up team options for her. Also makes her MF combos more reliable.
Zero is now Ichigo. Deal.
Tools will support tools. Let it be spread.
Comments
Remove lightning loop and buster cancels (leaving it so that you can cancel command dashes with the buster, but nothing else)
Increase the scaling of special moves
Viper
Remove invincibility on EX Seismo and give it 2 hits of super armor instead
Increase the scaling of special moves
Vergil
Spiral swords should no longer destroy projectiles, especially hyper combo projectiles, but should still be able to out prioritize most normals.
Increase scaling of special moves a little bit. (like 5% or so)
Make Vergil's helm breaker more unsafe on block, like Dante's.
Dorm
Increase scaling of special moves
Make it so that combos off of meteors scales the combo more heavily.
Maybe reduce the hitbox on his normals slightly
Spencer
Make up-wire-grapples scale at 50%
Wesker
Remove glasses buff
Tron
Give back her old Vanilla j.H
Give Gustaff Fire assist 2 hits of super armor
Phoenix Wright
Give him a better wavedash
Give him his old turnabout assist pre-HnH patch back
Make Turnabout mode last 50 seconds
Iron Fist
Give him a better S
Give him an overhead that isn't so slow
Give him some sort of air option
And buff Hsien-Ko somehow, but I don't know anything about the character, so I left her out.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree Like-Vergil should get the "Phoenix treatment" in the patch. This means nerfed into the ground.
-Something should be done to missles. Maybe they should have the same property as drones. If Doom gets tagged then they are gone.
-Zero's hitbox should not be at your front and back at the same time.
-NOBODY should be able to teleport behind a character in the corner.
-Meter gain/loss TACs should be removed. It's stupid payoff for no real risk.
-Give Thor a hammer throw projectile with the QC+Special. It can be like Cap's shield. Make either that or Mighty Strike (M) OTG in the air. (think Phoenix otg fireball or like Zero's lightning otg thing )
-Wesker should do less damage.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeFirst off, anyone suggesting that Spencer's up grapple needs to be "fixed" is 1] salty or 2] a (ex-)Spider-Man player. I honestly hope people realize that unscaled grapples are the ONLY thing he has going for him as a character. He has no mixup. His mobility, which is commonly touted as his biggest strength, is completely one hundred percent free to grabs...a tool which, in this game, has consistently shown is more powerful than the already-present post grab scaling for combos suggests (please note I am not suggesting throws should be changed...well, maybe make them two buttons).
Next, you guys should think deeper into why things that seem OP actually seem that way. As Ve already pointed out, taking Lightning Loops away only fix a problem for the short term; yes, while the idea of buster canceling as we know it is kinda silly (and charging through the super flash is kinda really dumb), the real problem is that he gets meter positive KOs from it because his scaling is fked. The scaling on some of these characters is a definite issue.
Finally, while I have a whole laundry list of things that would be super sweet to implement (but won't happen), I think we should all turn this thread into a How-To-Make-Hsien-Ko-The-Best-Ever thread. So, to the guy who said that Tenrai-Ha should have a fullscreen no-damage low untechable hitbox when the press lands, I say YES. Extremely creative and has tons of applications. Imagine fullscreen XF Tenrai-Ha DHC Dark Dimension. Super sick. People have also mentioned canceling Senpu Bu, which seems natural at this point to be honest. It would be no different tactically than canceling Taskmaster's Mighty Swing (which is infinitely faster and has a powerful option select). I do not agree, however, with the dude above who says Senpu Bu should hit OTG. While many things wouldn't break Hsien-Ko, THAT property would take her right out of the park...wayyyyyyy too good, even for someone in her condition right now.
Don't wanna rain on peoples' parades (don't even know why I'm still typing--nobody really reads these, right?), but didn't Capcom release a statement saying that the dev teams for Marvel have already scattered to the four corners of the game production world? The actual chances for ANYTHING related to this game are more or less exactly zero (pew).

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeThe way it is now is so easy to cover Doom though. Even if you start a combo to punish both point and Doom then one of the missles comes down to ruin your day. They can make his recovery faster from the assist so long as they disappear if you hit him BEFORE he has launched the last missle. It wouldn't make it a bad assist, it would just make it so people wouldn't have Doom on auto-assist the entire match. If you catch Ammy/Strider/Sentinel (all comparable, great assist) and kill them easily due to the fact that they have lower life and their assist end when touched (if you catch strider when he first comes out) then Doom's shouldn't be THAT broken. He's got higher health and the missles somewhat cover a huge combo punish. There needs to be some sort of balance with it.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree Like1. Fix behind hitting hitboxes on moves that clearly look like it hits in one direction
2. Scale damage significantly on combos that start from assists (this is already done with certain assists i.e Chris' gunfire)
3. Ability to pushblock assists
4. Air throws only performed with 6or4H.. no more 3or9H option selects
5. More yellow health and less red health in general i.e less damage overall (but not too low)
6. Increased time on ability to grab/air grab someone after blockstun
Character specific:
1. No Astral Vision meter building
2. Nerf air command grab resets (She-hulk, Haggar, Skrull)
3. Wesker command grab 4 frames or higher
4.Zero..
Raikosen nerf overall. (startup, hitbox, hitstun, etc)
LL nerf (maybe loop limit of 2 or 3)
No buster canceling command dashes or increase startup and/or recovery
5. Hidden Missiles vanish if Doom gets hit it, or at the very least nerf the tracking
6. Increase height restriction on tri-jump overheads
7. Increase startup of Rapidslash
8. Spencer general damage nerf or simply scale his vertical grapples (spencer player btw, so I'm not biased)

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeYeah the game's got durpy stuff and whatever but the top players especially have learned to adapt to a lot of it and seeing Fanatiq block all of that cross up shit J.Wong's Vergil was doing on reaction was inspiring to say the least. It's just a game where you have to be playing it and just have to be able to have that gut reaction to block setups when you're in those situations. Otherwise of course the first thing is to make a team that allows you to avoid setups in the first place.
I have Skullgirls and VF5 FS if I wanna play less durpy games any way.
Most of the stuff I wanted changed/fixed outside of XF2/3 still being a bit retarded already got fixed in Ultimate. It's actually pretty surprising how much of the stuff I was hoping Doom, Morrigan and others would get that they ended up getting (which is funny cuz they both work really well together now).
So instead...I'm just gonna list what I predict Capcom will most likely change (more specifically nerf cuz that's all they do) regarding the cast.
Bold = Anyone that gets discussed a lot regarding their strength that Capcom will most likely address very carefully.
Akuma: Might possibly buff his health to 800k. Probably gonna keep him the same otherwise.
Ammy: Eh...probably gonna stay the same minus maybe a slight damage buff. Probably the same otherwise.
Arthur: Might actually get a dash. Probably some extra buffs to his projectiles. Probably not though.
C.Viper: Probably have a damage scaling reduction or just overall damage nerf on some her moves. Will most likely stay the same otherwise. I'm pretty sure Capcom is certain she doesn't need any actual buffs.
Captain America: Doubt he's getting much. He got a lot of buffs already and Capcom probably won't do too much extra to him to keep with the whole "make everybody unique" philosophy.
Chris Redfield: Probably gonna be the same. Might even get a damage nerf just cuz Capcom nerfs.
Chun Li: Most likely gonna stay the same. I wish they would improve her projectile game just a bit more but...they gonna do them.
Dante: Most likely gonna stay the same. They might actually buff his damage a bit...but probably not.
Deadpool: Same.
Doctor Strange: Might get a forward/back air dash. Could possibly get safer frames on normals and projectiles. That's about all I would think he would get though.
Dorm: Most likely will get nerfs to hit boxes on his normals or the damage on his supers. Probably get a nerf to the speed of f+H. Probably staying the same other than that.
Dr.Doom: Will most likely get a Wolverine style nerf to his dive kick hit box that still won't keep it from being very durp. Might get a damage reduction.
Hidden Missiles is too important to have in a game where if you get touched, you die or get really really fucked up. Don't expect any changes to the assist because the assist isn't relevant for at least 3 or 4 seconds any way and plenty of characters have moves that push them past the missiles. I'm pretty sure Capcom realizes Morrigan is most of the problem and will just leave the rest up to people playing smart against the assist.
Felicia: Most likely gonna stay the same.
Firebrand: Might get a damage buff. Otherwise will probably stay the same.
Frank West: Same.
Ghost Rider: Probably will get a damage buff. Might get chip damage normals as he was originally rumored to have.
Haggar: Same.
Hawkeye: Might get some buffed hit boxes or frames on some of his normals. Otherwise same.
Hsien Ko: Hopefully gets a speed increase. Maybe longer duration on armor.
Hulk: Probably the same.
Iron Fist: Will probably get improved hit box on launcher. Will probably stay the same other than that.
Iron Man: Maybe another buff to some of his hit boxes and maybe his dash. Might get other insignificant buffs. Very likely he won't get any changes as I'm sure Capcom probably feels we're just missing something with him. He was the most switched around character in the game pretty much. Even more so than Dante. You don't do that much changing unless you're confident in your changes.
Jill: Possibly maybe a damage increase. Might get an extra aerial option. Otherwise same.
MODOK: Most likely the same.
Magneto: Might get another nerf to his gravitation special. Otherwise will probably stay the same.
Morrigan: Most likely will have astral vision nerfed in some way. Either it won't build meter (outside of comboing into soul drain) or it will deactivate if she is hit. Or both.
Nemesis: Probably get buffs to the frames on his normals and possibly his supers.
Nova: Same.
Phoenix: Same.
Phoenix Wright: Might get damage or speed buff. Otherwise same. He was made to be gimmicky on purpose so doubt they're going to do anything much to do that.
Rocket Raccoon: Could get a health buff. Possibly damage buff also. Other than that...same.
Ryu: Could possibly get the ability to OTG combo off air throw somehow without using super. Probably not cuz Capcom.
Sentinel: Could possibly see a speed or damage increase. Really doubt they'll give him more health because they are most likely still scarred from all the scrub whining early on.
She Hulk: Possibly damage buff and fixes to her emerald cannon super. Other than that...same.
Shuma Gorath: Maybe a speed or damage buff. Otherwise same.
Spencer: Most like gonna have added scaling to some of his specials and nerfed damage. Speed on grapples will most likely stay the same. Same otherwise.
Spider Man: Probably the same.
Storm: Could use a damage buff but probably the same.
Strider Hiryu: Possibly a health buff, Ouroboros might end up lasting a bit longer (most likely not on both though).
Super Skrull: Same.
Taskmaster: Same. Might get a slight health nerf. Probably not though.
Thor: Same except maybe some from changes.
Trish: Same.
Tron: May get buff to her frames or hit boxes. Otherwise same.
Vergil: Most likely nerf to frames and hit boxes. Otherwise the same.
V.Joe: Same.
Wesker: Will probably get nerf to a couple hit boxes. Most likely will retain shades power up.
Wolverine: Might get change to scaling on some moves (specifically fatal claw super).
X-23: Possibly a health or damage buff. Probably not much else.
Zero: Nerf to damage scaling, hit boxes and MAYBE nerf to buster cancelling.
General Stuff: XF might get another nerf, TAC's may actually be affected by scaling before you touch the ground...but don't expect any other changes.
Yeah the assist doesn't have a relevant hit box unless you're high up in the air near Doom for at least 3 to 4 seconds. One of the best assists but overall overrated.

"All that said...the entire Marvel series is made of stupid bullshit. Storm made a billion characters straight up unpickable in MVC2. You wanna play Wolverine in MVC2? Tough, your opponent controls the weather. How about Ruby Heart? Have fun never hitting the opponent because she's HAAAH HAAAH HAAAAH-ing 89 feet above your dome. The only thing that makes UMVC3 different from any other Marvel game is the fact that every character, upon hitting the opponent, can either 0 to death a character or hit 4 buttons and 0 to death a character. In a 2 out of 3 setting revolving around a team-based game, this can help people occasionally get away with things that they can't get away with in other games. And now we see even THAT slowly disappearing because Chris G is forcing people to think before they put a team together.
How fucking DARE he."
ChrisG comment aside (which I 100% agree with) Hogosha is right on the money.
People are seriously complaining about MARVEL? It's supposed to be broken and stupid. I thought that's what everyone loved about it... Or were most of you melon farmers just lying?

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeDoctor Strange: Let Doctor Strange's crouching Light be a low attack, especially since his standing Light hits misses some of the cast.
Make his Spell of Vishanti safer- on hit. Why does the opponent recover before he does after his airborne version?
He should be able to block after air versions of Daggers of Denak.
Let his medium teleport cross-up opponents in the corner. Don't tell me he's a master of the mystic arts, yet couldn't figure out how to go behind an oppoent in the corner.
Improve his wavedash.
Strider: Improve the hitstun on Strider's hard Vajra, so that he can confirm off it properly.
Possibly adjust his Mission 10 combo. It's kind of a punishment; having the execution to perform it but being restricted by the number of hits preceding the wall cling.
Ghost Rider: Improve the recovery on some of his moves. I understand why he has poor start up on his normals due to the range of some of his attacks, but he is extremely punishable on most of his attacks.
Magneto: Improve the recovery on his Magnetic Shockwave.
Tron: Decrease the pushback on her air H.
She-Hulk: Reinstate her slide. Why give characters who can zone such as Hawkeye and Deadpool, the ability to cover ground or get in on opponents, while make it harder for characters who can't play keepaway to get in?
Captain America: Make the charging stars cancellable during earlier parts of their animations.
IMPROVE THE NETCODE: I'm cool with some of the online only tactics. But how does Taskmaster whiff a charging star then throw me afterwards? That one was new.
Nerf's
Wesker: Remove glasses buff. Seriously, how can you reward a character for being hit?
Morrigan: Unable to build meter during Astral Vision. In retrospect, was it an oversight of the developers, considering what Chris G's doing with it now?
Zero: The lightening from the Raikousen should only go as far as Zero does, before he cancels it i.e. if you immediately cancel the medium Raikousen into the buster the lightening shouldn't be fullscreen while Zero remains in his original position.
Vergil: Spiral Swords should cause absolute guard, considering we start the game with a meter. He gets an inescapable unblockable with these if he calls an overhead assist. Shoutout to Intuitive 2011.
Shouldn't Be Changed
I don't think hidden missiles should disappear if Doctor Doom is hit. You can block as normal while these hit you, and the stun it creates is not as bad as or the Weasel Shot and Cold Star (I faced Zak Bennett; I know what I'm talking about). And not only can he be hit during their call, the sooner you do so the fewer come out.
I don't think people should be asking for the lightening loops to be nerfed. Considering that the execution required to pull them off is greater that you holding back in the first place. He requires a lot of practice to use. If you're using players who require less work but have a high reward i.e. WESKER, don't be asking for other characters to be nerfed.
If you use both Zero AND Wesker, maintain your neutrality lol.
Personal wishlist
Give Captain America his shield slash loops back!

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeI don't think they should remove the meter gain from Astral Vision seeing as how it behaves like the other "pure" install hypers like it(aside from Firebrand's who just breaks the norm) and it kinda fits Morrigan's design as a character that's supposed to build meter as fast as she can eat it. I can see why they would take meter gain away though considering how powerful a super it is. I wouldn't mind them reducing meter gain on it though. I would rather take no meter gain on it rather than it going away on hit though.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeI wouldn't worry about that troll post crap about her gaining double meter. It's just typical "Marvel should be broken stuff". Marvel is oppressive...not broken. Broken means there's no way to play the game in a way where people can think about what they are doing and that's just not true.
From there something has to be done about astral vison though. There's a lot of tech that will eventually brew from it that will shut down a lot of the cast and it's tech that doesn't even involve missiles. Missiles helps for space control but it's only a matter of time before people see the powerful shit that super can do without missiles that will still nullify a lot of teams. Morrigan + Missiles is only the start really.
The problem with building meter as fast as you eat it is that with a character like Morrigan she won't really need to eat very much and her upcoming tech once figured out for tournament play will allow her to essentially build the meter faster than she eats it.
People think nerfing missiles will solve shit and it will only solve one aspect of Morrigan's astral vision while just setting up people to make the other powerful tech practical instead. Then also bringing the game back to where everyone is forced to pick teams that can't protect themselves from rushdown situations and just a lot of "first to touch" kinda matches. Plus nerfing an assist that covers the aerial which is hugely important in this version of the game.
The UMVC3 scene will be in for quite the reckoning when they realize that Morrigan + Missiles is only one of the great astral vision setups. It's a whole Ginyu Force of team tech that will eventually rise and piss everyone off the same or more.

He hits right where the move seems to be hitting... yeah, his moves cross up BUT THAT'S EXACTLY the way they look, Helm Breaker hits where it shouldn't hit, that's something that needs to be fixed. Dorm needs those hitboxes to be able to open the enemy and have a good pressure game.
Dorm is fine and if anything gets nerfed, it should be the damage from Chaotic Flame, that's it.
Also, have you seen Doom's divekick on the PS Vita? The hitbox is fine, the problem is that people don't block against Doom... seriously, stop dashing and stop using mediocre anti-airs whenever Doom is above you, just block.
However Doom's missiles should disappear whenever he gets hit, that already happens with characters like Nova, Dorm (flame carpet),Sentinel (drones), Trish, Rocket Raccoon (traps) etc. It should be the same for Doom, the assist is broken as fuck, the missiles stay on the screen for far too long and can be easily spammed and it's almost impossible to score a good punish without getting hit with them.
They have the following properties:
OTG
GTFO
Lockdown
Air control
Combo extenders
Chip Damage
Seriously? One single assist offers all that bullshit?? And you believe it's fine the way it is?
The only way to punish that level of BS and make it 100% safe is to burn meter and get a full screen hyper. That's ridiculous.
I LOL'd when somebody said that the assist would be destroyed if the missiles disappear, how about using the assist with a teleport or a side change? That is legit, otherwise, IT'S BULLSHIT.
Anyway, Doom has other awesome assist options, the problem is that Missiles is as braindead as possible.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeSee you can list all of this stuff about missiles...the issue is that the assist still is balanced by having an extremely long start up before it becomes relevant in the neutral. During that time it can get blown up by a lot of stuff and there's a lot of characters that can blow up both the point character and the assist doing their basic run of the mill stuff. People will just need to create better start of round strats to deal with missiles.
It only gets close to overpowered with Morrigan ATM from what I've seen. A lot of other teams have to have Doom as anchor where he's a subpar anchor at best to get a similar type of power.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeYeah and that's only the beginning. There's a lot of crazy good shit that won't even have Doom on the team. Morrigan is the right type of character to control a lot of screen space and has solid defensive options without the use of missiles. She can carry herself without the assist very easily which will eventually lead to the rise of other oppressive Morrigan teams that will have the ability to kill you probably faster than Morrigan + Missiles does.
The slow death of Morrigan + Missiles is only one of the oppressive ways to kill people off with astral vision.

Yeah morrigan is fucked up, but Doom as an assist is fucked up as well. Just sayin... not a single assist has that many advantages in the entire game.

Vergil
remove the crumple from his lv 3 hyper
Wesker
If your going to make him do 700k when he is in lv 4 x factor then lower his health to around strider's at least
Arthur
give him a dash
Dormammu
make it so that his stalking flare can't be used as a "chip-to win" move
that's pretty much it.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeYeah true...but it's still balanced by having big flaws that must be compensated for by the point character that can be easily exploited by a lot of relevant teams. If the missiles fired at you immediately on start up instead of flying towards the air...then yeah it would be much more of a problem. Overall it is balanced by needing to be covered by other hit boxes from the point character for a solid period of time for a fighting game.
There's too many teams that people are coming up with that are already dampening the missiles assist EVEN on Morrigan teams. ECT was pretty much ripe with anti missiles teams among the WC players. This is considering it's already been proven that you don't really need an anti missiles team just to fight the assist. Just somebody that can put pressure on the assist constantly from the start of the round.
It still has that pretty crippling weakness that most other power assists don't have which is just having absurdly long start up to affect anything towards the ground or far and away in the air.
Morrigan herself isn't really that fucked up. It's just the super that has really fucked up properties. Considerably more so than missiles assist.

GENERAL
*Pushback increased after teching throws both in the air and on the ground
*Assist is not active once the player actually gets hit
*TAC changes. I would really love it if they make the TAC guaranteed but cost 1 meter and not remove/take meter away. But it's not going to happen.
*Nerf X factor even more so that current XFLVL2 values are new XFLVL3 values in terms of time, speed and damage
*Point character shouldn't go into hit stop animation if the assist character is getting hit
*No moving around before start of the game and no charging moves either
*Mashable hypers changed on a character to character basis so that values are more in line with Vanilla max damage values. Like for example, Storm's hypers should still do about the same damage because she needs that damage but not someone like Dormammu or Wolverine who are already doing a ton of damage but then get even more damage because their hypers do a ton of damage when mashed
*Cannot call assists while tech rolling
*Raw tags don't hit overhead and have slightly more recovery
*You shouldn't be able to juggle assists by mashing on down + S bounce TAC
*No character should be able to teleport cross up in the corner

*Remove cross up Phantom Dance hyper

*Proton Cannon has less recovery and can be aimed upward removing the DP Proton Cannon

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeMarvel 2 evolved organically. Perhaps Marvel 3 should be left to do the same. Granted, it's not as free-form and open to evolution as Marvel 2 (from what I take of it), so we should just enjoy it for what it is, if we're going to enjoy anything at all.
Ah, fuck it. Who am I kidding.
• Give bombs a hitbox or make them a separate
• A way to combo off her airthrow. Perhaps a cr.
• Same 2 items, Akuma Statue, then stun item rotation as Vampire Savior for fuzzy guards and corner mixups
• Slightly better scaling
• Not too keen on TRH anvil causing an earthquake knockdown like VSav suggested above, but since these are suggestions are for tinkering with, I'd like to see what the result of adding this would be.
• Pendulum Cancelable through
In all seriousness, I do believe in what I said, though. Maybe it's off; I would like to know if anyone disagrees and why. I have no authority whatsoever and will stop there, though, because any more would descend into the bourgeois "I know what's best" syndrome whose name I'm blanking on right now that pervades this site and video game communities in general.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeI mostly share your sentiment. Everyone knows that the game has a lot of crazy stuff, but people have settled down with the fact that Marvel just throws a lot of powerful fast shit at your regardless of characters used. People are starting to suck it up and find answers to shit rather than blame Sentinel, Wesker, Phoenix, Morrigan etc. everytime they lose.
It's to the point where people are finally using the game to fight the game like what should have been happening for the past year. Plus the 3 out of 5 format helps to give people time and opportunity to use more than one team as may very well need to be an option in the future against some players. ECT last weekend paved the way for the insight of competitive Marvel that is to be had in the future where there's an actual grind to beat the opponent. You saw people adjust round to round and sometimes people would lose 2 and come back 3.
It's what I've wanted the game to be for a long time and after a WHOLE YEAR of waiting and hoping it's finally coming into fruition. The game's "cheap" or "oppressive" nature actually allows for most of the cast to be very viable and it's amazing to see stuff like She Hulk in top 8 in ULTIMATE. Not Vanilla....UMVC3. LOL.

It is something that should get fixed, but there's already ways around the problem with simple techniques.

She Hulk's lampost negates projectiles like Dorm's normals do
Gets a two way airdash
Emerald Cannon forces a wallbounce
X-23 Can MFC ankle slicer(to allow her to combo off of her OTG)
This will allow her to combo off of her OTG which will open up team options for her. Also makes her MF combos more reliable.
Tools will support tools. Let it be spread.
