Does Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Require "High Level" Skill?

nop it doesnt. game sucks.

Not particularly. It requires skill. But the skill cap is limited. Where as say in Street Fighter, if you're a noob, you can only get so far until someone who's genuinely good at the game comes and rapes you. Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is really fun but its broken beyond belief. You don't have to be 'good' to be sucessful in really ruined the experience when all I ever see is Sentinels, Ryu's, Akuma's and Dantes.

As I say though, the games great. Just nothing I can see myself taking seriously due to the noob culture it caters to.

Totally agree. Most people who are at high levels pick nothing but those characters, who are easy to spam moves with. Now some say, well in Marvel VS Capcom 2, it was the same with people like Cable, Sentinel and Magneto, etc. While that is somewhat true, the difference was that it took skill to play with Sentinel in that game effectively. In this one its just mashing and spamming. If I want to do that I'll go play hungry hungry hippos. Once I got my platinum trophy, I stopped playing it, will only play casually with friends now. It's definitely a step back from its predecessor.

...MvC3 is fun sure but it takes a ton more skill for say Street Fighter 4 then MvC3.

[AGamerOfConsoles]

I think it depends on how deep the player looks into it. If they are learning tactics to win then no since spamming is easy to do.

If you take time to make a well balanced team each with different abilities and strengths then it is a different story.

It really doesn't take much skills but i just suck at MvC3 or fighting games in general.
My friend is a natural though and he hasn't played a fighting game in years and he found it too easy compared to MvC1/2

[Veneno]

I love MvC 3. It's very fun. The real problem is that there's not enough online features to make this game last. You can't spectate matches in the fight rooms, there is no replay channel. There is no opportunity to form a community like there is in the SF4 series. This is a major blunder by Capcom.

Nothing screams game for newbs like this:

I'm glad the new MK doesn't have a simple mode. They're smart and understand you shouldn't be able to hit one button and have the game do special moves and 80 hit combos for you. It's called practice and learn. And if you still suck, well, that's life. Play something else. Not everyone can be good at every game.

games awesome, but has probs since it has no barrier to nullify scratch damage (dont say advace guard) and lack of a combo breaker kills it.

some characters are easy to combo with, but some like jill require super reflexes and precision along with tons of training to even stand a chance. blazblue CS is still king in 2d this gen to me

[anasurimbor]

No, it doesn't, but so what?

[maxmill]

nope

just like sf
