Nova - Iplaywinner Guide to Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3

[Coppo68]

I seem to be the only person who can never follow up on Nova's air S with Forward H or Centurion Rush Light. It's not cancelable, though I swear it leaves too few frames for me to input the next command at the right time. I'll either be too early and still be in the air S animation or too late and they'll have gotten up.

[XEROXTOXiN]

Hearing your stick just makes me more excited for mine! Just having trouble whether or not if I want a madcatz tournament edition or the PDP Klassic Stick

[Calibretto9]

Thanks for the vid. Helpful. Also, try to lower the volume of the arcade stick. It's distractingly loud.

[puppies2kittens19889]

@cjt220 keep button mashing S and ATK

[KatsuyaHikari18]

Hey Spooky, I want to know something. if you were to do energy javelin and then centurian rush low, would it be an unblockable set up?

[masose8]

@KatsuyaHikari18 no it wouldn't be an unblockable. Only because energy javelin is not an overhead, it can be blocked high and low.

[KatsuyaHikari18]

@masose8 Ah, alright, thanks.

[VII89]

The Aracde Stick is a little too loud. Fyi :)

[stavi82]

Nice vid, but OMG LOUD BUTTONZ!

cjt220, when you make contact with each hit of Human Rocket, tap any direction + C, and Nova will fly in that direction, hitting the opponent again if they are in his path.

[cjt220]

noob question: how do you control the Human Rocket hyper?

[masose8]

@cjt220 just pretty much point at a direction and hit any button. After the first hit you can choose where he goes next and if he hits again you can change the direction of the third hit too.

[Trackstar064life]

Spooky...you forgot his qcb moves

[lbayo12]

does javelin ground bounce in the air?

[deddjay]

@lbayo12 Sure does. And together with gravimetric pulse H, it REALLY helps get in.

[DirEnGay]

Nova's forward H is too inconsistent for OTG, it's not far off Thor's fully charged H Mighty Smash in terms of frames.

It's a shame really I love him as a character but he just seems to be awkward at almost everything he does, and all his specials are heavily punishable, not that it's ever wise to just do them without hit confirms. I guess it's possible to do some pretty simple 700,000 hitters using only one meter, and can kill somebody outright with X-Factor, I still wish his tools were safer.

[SqrLMaSTeR123]

@DirEnGay you can make forward H consistent with the proper combos, there are plenty to choose from too! And also, there is plenty of technology out there that doesn't even utilize forward H in combos for big damage.

[leroidespinguins]

@DirEnGay

Gravimetric pulse L and M are safe on block to end a blockstring.

Also, i'm not sure but i, so far, wasnt punished on cH so it might be safe...as of forward H otg, you just have to time the air combo right by delaying the sJump a bit before going into MMHS so jS can get at least 3hit (the fH will work all the time)

human rocket punch also work for full screen punish of whiffed normals like haggars pipe and such.

[deddjay]

@DirEnGay His tools are fairly safe if your careful, and his forward H is excellent for OTG if you properly test combos/timing before hand. It took a little getting used to, but I almost never miss it now. It's also nice for mixup since it hits overhead.

[916WonderC]

@deddjay Yea I definitely had to try out diff scenarios and combostrings with Nova to figure which ones worked for the forward H and which ones didn't,only a few cases where I try and go for it..other than that I mostly just go for Centurion Rush L into Super Nova Hyper

[goffy456]

Im slow and this a noob question.

But dragon punch=shoryuken which means forward Down diagonal-forward right?

Basically a "Z" motion?

[sablesoul]

@goffy456 Yes.

[rayedj]

@goffy456 yes

[Spongink]

Cover them fast pls :D Im getting the game tomorrow :P

[Darcius]

spooky's super mash isn't up to par

[Captnspork]

Hmm, I'm thinking Nova should be a secondary fighter, since I find gravimetric pulse the most useful. At first I thought he was a good point, but if that's the case he's in there to either win or die for me. I dont want to risk him as an assist at that point. Good stuff Spooky

[MrImAPencil]

spooky forgot to say that his super is very invincible

[Captnspork]

@MrImAPencil your talking about the human rocket super right?

[MrImAPencil]

@Captnspork yes

[Dranoon]

Nova - Hawk Eye - Doctor Doom imo the next top tier team. Or at least going to be very common. Easy to use and provides GREAT output and versatility.

[dannkk]

Lot's of characters can relaunch with that A assist in the corner. It's pretty sick. Just call him right before you launch, and they'll fall into it after your air combo for 3 hits allowing you to launch again.

[Jumpman3]

I think Super Nova takes red health too, but I could be wrong.

[VicteraIsler]

stop smashing the buttons

[iliekmudkipss]

you really need to sound more.. lively. 

[UltimateMach5]

turn on the input data

[JManJoe]

Top Tier

[Imozart0341I]

his start up frames for flight is one of the fastest

[msteven27]

Nova looks nice first.
