Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

[ssbomberman]

I'm worried about this: "maximize depth, minimize complexity" (in the marvel writeup) -- I'm not sure that this is even possible. It sounds like they want it to be deep for hardcore players and simple for noobs, but we've all seen how the simplified sloppy controls work in games like SF4 and TvC... I guess they could add an easy button, but once again, not sure how it's gonna work out. It's a good philosophy, but we'll have to see how it works for returning players.

I think they're going to rape the buttons. There's no reason to remove the MvC2 control scheme but they will find a reason. It's going to be a mess if Capcom doesn't pull this shit in.

Maybe they just want to avoid making the game's mechanics convoluted like Blazblue, and create depth through strategy and risk/reward balance.
MvC2 already has the perfect button setup for modern consoles, so it would be completely backwards to mess with it.

TvC was way more accessible than Marvel

pls blv they will crib that 3-button setup

convoluted like Blazblue

I actually think MvC3 will be a 6 button game in the exact same format MvC2 was. There has been a move toward three attack buttons in FGs recently (off the top of my head -- MB, AH, TvC, F/UC, and HnK all use it), but a five-button setup with two assist buttons is just a tad wacky.

Accessible yes. Greasy and dumbed down and not at all precise? Also yes.

But I hear what you are saying and hope that it will not happen (or if it does, who cares, we can always continue to play 2).

Capcom needs to respect the fact that we have hands and that they work. We also have access to sticks. When the two are combined, we do not need shortcuts. We can do uppercut motions and the like just fine. We do not like getting 360s when we try to oil up with Hakan. That is balls.

[Diff-chan]

Your mom oils up with Hakan.
