Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3

[Juez]

Just went up against a Zero, Akuma and Taskmaster Team, there synergy is ridiculously good, i could not counter the guy online with my Ghost Rider, Wesker and Virgil team, not even my Dark Wesker and Dark Virgil could take'um.

I can take out Zero and Taskmaster, but his Akuma is stupid, how in the world does he take no damage during his supers when i make contact with him? it just ignores all attacks or what?

Akuma is a good character but the only supers he has that don't take damage are his Tatsu, his uppercut ultra, and his lvl 3. The tatsu is the most annoying of the 3 since it destroys almost all projectiles but ghost can just j.S and hit him out of it. His uppercut ultra is invincible but is crazy unsafe so unless he does it at point blank range you should just block and punish it accordingly. His lvl 3 goes through everything but travels in a straight line and it usually used to punish hyper on reaction so if you see him doing it just jump and make him waste 3 meters.

So on a side note I've been practicing on my stick a lot more recently and I'm starting to get better! I can do my own version of Nova's H loop on pad and stick so things are looking up. Oh yeah before I forget to ask, do Dante's old vanilla combos work in ultimate? I have the old guide and since I haven't had time to look up his new combos I'm just going to work on his combos from vanilla. I heard he has a lot more push back on his normals so that makes me wonder if his combos work.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I played a really good MODOK player online yesterday that had some insane traps with MODOK. He had a corner that that hit high and low almost at the same time and he would call in sentinel drones to hit mid. I didn't have any idea how to deal with it. MODOK does a crap load of damage and his throw range is insane, people say he is a shit character but he isn't.

Akuma uppercut hyper has odd properties. It will beat out all physical attacks and beams, but will lose to certain multi projectile hypers such as Task arrows, Doom lasers, Magneto pillars, etc... I really don't get why though. I kinda wish they would fix that.

Dante's old combos likely won't work depending on which one's you use, but if you're already doing bold cancel combos you likely won't have to change much if anything. While Dante has become easier to do technical combos, he has become harder to do basic combos...a nice give and take I say.

Modok is one of those characters who has a lot of potential but so few are willing to put the time into learn him. I don't think many people put him low tier, usually just mid tier. But it the right team he is a zoning beast and those normals are scary.

Yeah, most of his old stuff still works. Just do the bold-cancel combos and you won't have to worry about anything.

Alright I'll cave in and ask a noob question: If I'm gonna pick up UMvsC3, who would be good teammates to Felicia(my main)?

All I need is some good suggestions or so.

My secondary team is Felicia/Cap/Task. Felicia is really good on a grounded opponent so you need at least one assist to make them afraid of jumping all the time. If delta kick connects in the air it ground bounces but you wont get a lot of damage out of it and its not that easy to connect with. I use Task Vert arrow for that purpose and Cap shield slash to keep my opponents blocking if they pushback Felicia. A good player will push you back on you first hit so you need some ground lockdown assist to generate your offense. Frank West, Cap, Dante, Akuma, Ryu, Sentinel have great assist for that purpose. On the vertical control plan there's Task, Doom, Dante im thinking of right now but as long as you get some vertical space control its okay.

This game is interesting in demos I have seen others do. I originally wanted to try the team of Felicia,Dr. Strange,Rocket Raccoon. Unfortunately for me I got the "you have less than 500MG to play this game" message. I wasn't able to play the game at all until I clear up some old game saves from the PS3's HD. When I am able to I will give an opinion on what I really think of the game.
