Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3

Oh no I totally have access to offline. Just not at 24/7. Plus I like to get the feel for new characters before letting Sora kill them in 2 cross ups. Offline is more my testing for new characters, but some characters just get shafted by it, learning Rocker Raccoon online is a bitch. You get the teleport, but everything else takes a huge nerf. I need to test my connection to someone elses. It seems my opponents have a much smoother connection than i do, as I've played with friends and they say it's fine and I can barely get day 1 BnBs to be consistent. I've seen people pull Magneto loops while I can barely get simple hit confirms going. I got owned by a Storm spamming AA+S over and over (I won in the end, but there's no excuse for that terrible strategy to work...ever).

I'm wondering about HaH mode tho...that may force online to unlock stuff
 
so can anyone help me with spencer? some good match ups against him? a highlight on his strengths and weakness....?

Spencer with assist has little to no weakness whatsoever (that's why he's top or close-to-top tier). All his zip approaches become fast AND safe so you can't really zone him out. You can attack above his head, but if you get tagged by him or an assist, it's pretty much 800k-1m damage. You have to outplay him, or get rid of his assist. He can't really overwhelm you like Wesker, but you cant overwhelm him either because of his aerial mobility.

Spencer with no assist has more obvious weaknesses. The area above him is a lot less covered and he has to take more risks to get in and/or mix you up. Zip becomes slightly unsafe (though still safer than Vanilla) so fish for that air throw. Watch for the overhead. This is a lot easier to see offline, but you have more than enough time to interrupt it or up+back on reaction. Do NOT standing block this -- the move is unsafe by itself, but he can cancel or delay cancel into lancer, which he can then cancel into hyper. That is three mixups you have to watch out, so unless you're an exceptional player, it's hard to punish this on reaction without BS flying your way.

Respect the bionic arm. It remains as one of his strongest tools in Marvel. He has to come to you to damage you, so if he's far away, make sure not to press any random buttons as he can and will use arm on reaction. Be patient.

A lot of his command moves are punishable so if you block him or see him whiff, chances are you can punish him. Learn how to punish each in training mode.

Good luck.
