Board 8 > How do I not suck at MvC3?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've played it twice for a couple hours (less than sober) and I still feel like I'm just button mashing. Is this a button-mashing game or is there a way I can actually get good and know what I'm doing here?

Or is this a sober person's game and I'm approaching it terribly wrong by playing it drunk?

start at square and work your way clockwise around the buttons

That's actually a pretty bad team since the first two like meter and Phoenix requires it.

More like Wolverine/Akuma/Sentinel.

I play on 360. I was playing simple mode and realized no matter what I pressed I would just wreck **** and/or do aerial combos. So I switched to normal and its still not very challenging. I'm not good, I think I'm just a good button masher. I only know about one combo per character.

Also, I want to be good at this game. I'm not asking for easy teams to wreck **** with. I'd like to be competitive with people that know how to play the game.

Well, I'd recommend playing around a bit in training mode to find the dudes you get the best feel for, or just picking the guys you like best, then hitting the challenge mode with them. Ten trials each, going through special moves and basic combos. It won't make you a pro in no time, but it's a great place to start.

Memorize twitchy combos like a rhythm game than spam the hell out of them.

My problem with challenge mode is that it isn't very informative. I've started with Wolverine, did great. Then it said to combo Tornado Claw with Diving Kick. I can do Tornado Claw, but the move list doesn't even have Diving Kick. I hate looking **** up online to do stuff, so it let me down quite a bit.

You didn't check the button input combo? It's on the pause screen. Because Capcom didn't learn how easy it was for players from SF4, so they downgraded that like most Quality of Life features in the game.

When I got into Street Fighter again two years ago after like a 15 year hiatus, I relearned the painful truth: if you wanna get good (say, competitive against people who consider fighters their favorite genre), you gotta put a LOT of time in. Practice practice practice. All there is to it.

Starting with a cheap and easy team would probably help. Speaking as someone who blows at MvC3, it seems like Wesker, Sentinel, and Hulk are cheese.

Thanks broblazer. If I had to pick a team right now, it'd be Iron Man, Storm, and Dante. A very limited first reaction. I know I suck with Phoenix, Mokap (MODOK?), X-23, and Spidey. Thats about all I know at this point.

That's a pretty solid team, actually. Plenty of good options.

Ultimate comes out in three months, so don't get too comfortable, but experience now will help later.

If you're going to use Iron Man as point switch him for Magneto. Iron Man is pretty much a poor man's Magneto with better assists (even Seth Killian said this.)

LOL!!!! I hope that's a joke....names don't get more n00bish than that

Seth Killian also said Thor was going to be a terror.

Iron Man is plenty good, and Magneto's learning curve is ridiculous.

How to play MvC3 (with jc):

BUY A PS3 COMMODORE

Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK

Seth pretty much admitted he had to say some characters are better than they were, but this was after UMvC3 was announced so he's free to trash the low tiers as much as he wants now.

Iron Man is high execution as well since his best combos required flight cancels. Even at low execution Magento's air dash and flight cancels are still easier than most of Iron Man's stuff.

All you really have to know for Marvel 3 is the magic series. You can have fun drunk or sober as long as you don't drop those simple combos.

The same way I tell people not to suck at Brawl: you have to learn the core mechanics and physics of the game. Once you have that, then you can expand into being as competitive as you want. But that will have you not sucking.
