StrengthGamer: Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Review

"Marvel vs. Capcom has returned, in the cleverly titled Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. Boasting a character roster of 36 iconic Marvel and Capcom characters, an Offline mode featuring Arcade, Versus, Training, and Missions, plus an Online mode with lobbies and quick matches, it has the ammunition to destroy the competition. So does it? No - not even close."

hate this game, so very much

[Simon_Brezhnev]

I really hate the online menu. Capcom cant program for shit on the PS3. The game is fun but its not a game you should take serious like blazblue, tekken, or sf4. I just know one thing if Sentinel turn on X-factor give up especially if your not near him.

This "review" is nothing more than a rant from a butthurt scrub who cannot comprehend fighting game gameplay and strategy.

The number one reason people cry and moan "broken" "unbalanced" is because they personally don't know how to overcome a situation so rather than taking the time to learn they just blame the game.

Tactics like runaway and zoning are present in ALL 2d fighters, its a legitimate strategy but nothing is full proof, if you cant beat someone who's just "spamming" then guess what... you are the one who sucks.

This part was funny..

"These issues could be overlooked if the controls were solid. They unfortunately are not. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has completely obliterated the control scheme, dumbing it down to a four-button press game. Rather than having a button press for a low punch/kick, medium punch/kick, heavy punch/kick, and special attacks, all of the attacks are assigned to the four main buttons. They have Light, Medium, Heavy, and Special. When you want to pull off a Special Move, just mash the Medium and Heavy buttons together after performing a stick trick (ex: quarter, circle, punch)"

^ Yeah cos Mvc2 had 6 attack buttons right? plus supers and specials are performed the exact same way as MvC2, soooo the guy just proves he's bitching for the sake of bitching.

If you agree with this "review" just move on to something else, obviously this genre is not for you.

[AvidGamerrrr]

I think you missed the point. Next Gen fighters do have 6 button presses. Light Punch, Medium Punch, Light Kick, Medium Kick, Heavy, Special.

Noticed you didn't write this comment on the actual site - afraid of the author's rebuttal?

[Simon_Brezhnev]

lol @ genre not for you

Blazblue is the best fighter this generation and it has 4 buttons but its not dis damn simplified. I bet you one of the zone type players that run like turtles.

[WutPleaze]

The second one is way better

[UnSelf]

i hate that i have to agree wit ya two

[topdawg122]

You guys have to be joking. Surely this doesn't deserve a 6.

[harrisonxxi]

It doesnt, people have way too high an expectation for the game, and while its not as good imo as the 2nd one, its a whole lot less cheesy at times and tbh I cant stop playing it. While I hate the new button layout, it still works very well and is fun as hell to play, especially with friends.

[RyuDrinksTheDew]

wow, a 6 huh? this is the first pretty negative review ive seen so far.

from what i played, this review is a bit on the harsh side.

i do respect the opinion though.

[cheameup]

the game is great . crying about balance after a few days is a waste of time . most of us are still working out how to play the dam thing .

Yeah its simpler to play input wise . is that really so bad ? you think mashing is going to work once everyone works out the block strings and punishes ?

I do agree the online lobby system and ranked matches are jacked, hopefully they fix

and yeah didnt the beloved mvc2 have a 4 button scheme as well ?

[adamx]

this game sucks I kill everyone on it and the controls are for noobs, back to mvc 2 will you need atleast some skill. Bottomline this game sucks IMO! And the graphics look just like that wii game....puke.

"Out of one-hundred matches I was only able to find 36 opponents. I know math is hard, so I’ll do it for you – that’s less than twenty percent. "

Was that a joke?

[2EXS]

not matter what ppl may think, to me this game is a bad game.and plz, don't tell me that i don't know how to play a fighting game. big let down for me, i still got it but it was a mistake

[Urmomlol]

strengthgamer.com is a joke of a website. No one takes anything they write seriously because their staff is comprised of hack writers, scrubs and amateurs who think their shit doesn't stink.

Pay no heed to the garbage they produce.

[granthinds]

Hey, I've been playing it and it's a party man... I'm having a good time.

[josephayal]

give me the wii version in 2080p

[Boody-Bandit]

I want the ten minutes wasted from my life reading this rant. Not a review, a rant. Please do us a favor and go away. This was not a review at all but an opinion piece of the games design. There is more to a review than what you think of the gameplay elements. Blogosphere is the worst and the 6 is a joke.

MvsC3 is a beatiful game and fun as hell to play. Who cares that they made it a little easier? Skill still wins out. Every fighter has cheapness, balance issues, people complaining about the way others play. Learn to over come it. Quit your belly aching and review the game as a whole and not just your lack of ability.

[harrisonxxi]

The reviewer clearly DOESNT like the game and is taking it out on his review. From his untrue comments (female characters are all super squishy (see shehulk, tron bonne) and completely useless (amaterasu and pheonix are hardly useless), to his complaints about how he could just cheese opponents (clearly he ISNT playing the same people online that I am), complaints about the super jump system (which is the SAME system that has been used in every vs game ever), its quite clear he has a grudge against the game.
