Dear Internet,
Does anyone else who regularly watches MVC tournies get sick of all the viewers doing nothing but shitting on people for their character choices?
we get it, you dont like phoenix, you think Cl0ckwork is hindering himself using the character that *he said himself* WAS HIS FAVORITE CHARACTER. To clarify Cl0ck has even stated that he personally likes plain Phoenix better than Dark. Why do people hate Phoenix so much? i dont understand why she's so polarizing, KILL HER, it's not that hard, dont let her get 5 bars if your that worried about it. Save your X Factor, and wait out the time till she dies.
Everyone says she "takes no skill" and is "too spammy". But what does that shit even mean? i can play a "spammy" Akuma just like I can play a "spammy" Phoenix. None of the characters in MVC3 are inherently spammy(in my opinion), its the players that want the easiest way to win that look for moves that they can just pound the whole match. Look at it this way, I dread when i face a phoenix online(and i sometimes play phoenix). But just because i get endlessly stomped by people playing Phoenix, dosent mean i get to throw a bitch fest online about how she 'takes no skill to play'. Even then, i'd rather fight a phoenix team than a Dante\Wesker\Wolvie team where the dude just teleports with wesker and dive kicks with wolvie all day.
So please , shut the fuck up about phoenix.
Sincerely,
Phished0ne
*PS: Phoenix isn't the problem Level 3 X-factor is*
Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Feb 15, 2011
After a decade-long hiatus, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 continues the popular crossover fighting game series characterized by fast-paced gameplay, complex tag teams, and elaborate combos.
we get it, you dont like phoenix!
For what it's worth, I like Phoenix, though the last time I played MvC3 was probably about 3 or 4 months ago so maybe she's crazy now or something.
I really like Phoenix. Don't see the problem.
Lvl3 X-factor I like a bit less when playing.
As a spectator seeing Lvl3 x-factor getting popped, resulting in an epic comeback, is awesome however.
Dude, I didn't realize you could kill her!
Thanks, now I'm gonna go body Clockw0rk, right? Because theory in practice works 100% of the way you want it to, all the time.
Right?
None of the problems the OP has are the problem.
The problem is that MvC is a pretty terrible fighting game.
There, I said it. It's fully based on cheap tactics, it doesn't even try to go for balance and it can't be played by mastering the basics. For all the average middle of the pack MvC 3 player knows, he might as well be typing in the phonebook rather than combos.
Which is why it's such a great breeding place for the type of asshole whiners and asshole cheap players that made the genre boring and inaccessible the first time it died. So don't go whining the next time it dies (which it will, at this rate). It's as much the audience's fault for encouraging this as it is Capcom's for making the same mistake twice. I hope you're all happy.
I would like to thank all 3 of you for these stellar additions to this thread.
Also, Bravestar, 'complaining' about wolvie and wesker was just my way of furthering the point that ANY character in MVC3 can be played 'spammy', that its not an inherent characteristic of Phoenix/Dark Phoenix.

I hope I'm not the only one that comes into this topic thinking about Phoenix Wright...
*raises hand*
Phoenix >>>>> Dark Phoenix. Without DP, Phoenix would get a much better rep, and maybe some extra health on point :p Nothing too much, she's still a very good character on her own, probably around X-23/Arthur level. That being said, I don't really like Phoenix Wright either :p
@NoelVeiga There are no terrible fighting games, only terrible players.
There are lots of terrible fighting games.
come on now, we all know that's not true. What about Shaq fu, or Clay Fighter?@NoelVeiga There are no terrible fighting games, only terrible players.
Also, Bravestar, 'complaining' about wolvie and wesker was just my way of furthering the point that ANY character in MVC3 can be played 'spammy', that its not an inherent characteristic of Phoenix/Dark Phoenix.I will accept your point, when Wolverine starts to shoot out projectiles when he divekicks.
@SirOptimusPrime I would argue Brawl and Soul Calibur with you. Soul Calibur is an extremely elegant game at the top level and Smash ha a lot more depth than most people realize. It has all the mind games without the execution barrier.
i would rather play anyone in the game instead of Phoenix. when she can super jump and spam 5 fireballs and just jump up and do it again is stupid. Saying "kill her" is way easier than actually killing her. Whenever i play against Phoenix online they just spam fireballs and then when they turn into Dark Phoenix they just teleport and jam jab until your character dies. she also then shoots 2 fireballs instead of one making the reason everyone hates her even more annoying.Also Wolverine's dive kick and Wesker's teleporting can be pretty easy to get around.
