Taskmaster looks fucking awesome. "You are the ass-kickee and I am the ass-kicker!" And him using all the other characters moves as his specials, brilliant!

EDIT: Videos!

With these 2, the rumored character list is on its way to being completely legit. If it is, Hsien-Ko and Sentinel would be next. That also means that Mega Man is screwed. In which case I won't be happy. Don't tase me, Capcom!

OH ITS DAT MANGO FLAVOR SENTINEL



Hsien-ko, one of my favorite Darkstalkers!

So thats it, right? D, confirm. "The List" is 100% accurate, and this is the full roster for MvC3 (barring any unnanounced DLC chars) right?



Digging Deadpools "Deathstroke" alt color scheme .

Yezzir. If you look on the official website you can see that there are slots for two more characters. Early reviews say that there are 36 characters, not counting any DLC characters. So it's likely we'll see two more characters that will be DLC. I'm hoping that we get any of the Mega Men haha. If we don't that's ok cuz...


FUCK THE KNICKS!

Gentlemen, Next thursday it's going down. get your curly mustaches ready and ready your pringles cause it's going down. I demand we make this an AT gameday.

GET HYPE

It comes out next Tuesday, as in 1 week exactly haha. Yeah though, this for SURE should be an AT gameday. IS MAHVEL BAYBEE!!!!

I third this motion.... with a vengeance!

GALACTUS BABY!

Did an all night marathon with a friend of mine, after we picked up our copies at our local Gamestop's midnight launch.

Loving Arthur and Dormammu. Dormammu's alpha assist is nice for Arthur's playstyle (mostly playing keep away and turtling, seems to be by design for this character based on his moves and the fact he has no dash or backdash) . Also like Super Skrulls and X-23. These characters feel right to me. Phoenix is really good but can be killed in like two hits. Very powerful if used right especially X-Factor plus Dark Phoenix. Did not care for Dante and Trish. For Dante it is like they wanted him to be as close to how he plays in DMC. For Trish I don't like her moves. Overall I like this roster. Lots of variety.

Controls are weird and take some getting used to, especially if you use a stick and are used to MvC2; I'm in this boat. Some hyper combos are changed around because of the control scheme.

Sentinel plus X Factor is basically an "I win" button. Totally overpowered. Just get your hyper bar to max, get your other two characters killed. Just spam his Attack Rocket hyper combo. You can eat through all 3 of your opponents characters most of the time, even if they have near full health are are blocking.

Overall they made this game very casual it feels like. Not necessarily a bad thing because it makes the game more accessible to people that might be new to the series. Very fun regardless.

Just picked it up before work today, didn't get a lot of playtime in yet, but I'll be down for AT gameday action tonight.

Played around a bit with Dante, Deadpool, and X-23. The game is almost overwhelming how much shit is going on, and Scan is right on the controls feeling a little weird. I didn't play TvC much, so the whole 3+special attack buttons is going to take a minute to get used to.

Love the graphics and the presenation, hopefully the only play isn't laggy. Is it true that there's no spectator mode like in SSF4? :(

Online play is nice. Have not notice any lag during actual gameplay (sometimes there is slow down during the character intros) or input lag. And I played someone from Spain. I'm on PS3 so I can't speak for 360. No spectator mode. You just get the two people's license cards bouncing around lol. You can see their team and life bars though. . .

Spent the vast majority of yesterday playing the game, and I'm loving it a lot. I think the best part of the game is the character diversity. I found myself liking a bunch of characters who turned out more fun to play than I thought they might, Spencer and She-Hulk being prime examples. I also appreciate the balance in the game. TvC was incredibly balanced for a versus game, and I think MvC3 might be more so. Though, as Scan pointed out, Sentinel IS pretty ridiculous D:. Still I'm impressed at how everything came out.

However, I do have to agree on the online. My brother and I played several games with a friend of his on X Box Live, and the connection was quite good. The problem was, I'm used to the vast majority of options that SSF4, and even the original BlazBlue had for online play. You can't save replays, there's no spectator mode, and Ranked matches seem to have the ass-backwards set up that TvC had. I think it was mentioned somewhere that they plan to add these features later, and I can only hope so.

Anyway though, I have the game for both systems, and my info's in my sig. If you guys see me hit me up! MAKE IT RAAAAIIIINNN!!!!!!

Also, that picture is crazy epic LOL.

The thing I hate about the online mode is the amount loading. Geez, maybe I am spoiled by playing PC games, but man does it frustrate me. Like if you fail to find a ranked match it reloads back to the online menu. And even after your match over, there should be an option to queue again for another match, instead of loading back to the menu. It like kills my high every time when I getting into the groove. I just want to play a bunch of matches in quick succession. But, it turns out Quick Match is not really Quick match. Seems the best way to get the fix is to join a lobby and just go on a winning streak.

Yeah ranked match seems to be odd. Your rank is just points you accumulated from playing (since you can still rank up if you losing, how is that helpful if you are new?) and not based on your skill. I want to play people around my skill, but I'm not sure if there is anything in place to do that. Or maybe the game is still early, and the game has not been out long enough to determine proper match making. Damn people that had the game for two weeks because some stores broke the street date though.

that was funny but then i remembered i like the Arcana Heart series >_>

but really the only game on there i dont like is virtua fighter.
