Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3

Yeah, I hear a lot about how derpy Dark Wesker is, but I play two pretty solid Weskers, and XF3 Vergil beats Dark Wesker almost every time, especially XF3 Devil Trigger Vergil. Viper, Dante, Vergil, and Strider all have a multitude of tools that are much better than what Wesker has. Wesker's greatest assets are his reset options, his teleports, and his normals. Outside of that, he doesn't really have much to work with, and as I said, his mixups are very easily telegraphed. If you want the definition of unblockable, try XF3 Strider with Ouroboros. Hell, XF3 Strider alone is impossible to escape, as are XF3 Dark Phoenix and XF3 Vergil. Top 10 right now, my opinion? Viper, Dante, Vergil, Strider, Dark Phoenix, Zero, Dorm, Doom, Spencer, and Magneto. Wesker's not top 10 because he sucks or anything, there's just other characters better than him. UMvC3 is cool like that.

You forgot one thing that makes Wesker that much more dangerous, let alone Dark Wesker.

Command Grab. *shudders* None of the other characters you mentioned have this except for Spencer.

But yes, time will tell.
 
Varja doesn't give you frames. There's always assists and whatnot but, if he's using that, you're more than likely full screen so I wouldn't worry about that.

As for Wesker, he's just an all-around good character. He converts good damage off of everything (including throws), is a great anchor, has relatively safe DHCs, above-average health and damage, can shutdown most of the keepaway characters and make him play his game, and his command throw and airthrow make you actually have to act against him in the corner (with no assist even). Also, I've never even seen a halfway decent Wesker depend on teleports.

Also, I can't believe so of the stuff they did to Zero. He's even more boss. Still, they nerfed the ever living shit out of Jill's slide. =(

Command Grab was nerfed, as far as I'm aware. I believe you can't combo off it midscreen now, only in the corner, which makes sense seeing as his gun was nerfed. I honestly don't see why you would let Wesker get that close to you to begin with, or stand still and take that. You just chicken block, and the guy loses half his game. Hammer solves almost this entire matchup for someone like Dante.

Speaking of Hammer, I totally Hammered a Spencer out of Bionic Arm today. Yeah...that move is still abusable as all hell.
