@MrRyfoe *gamespot

[Gibbus43]

Not overpowered like guest characters of the past!

*looks at Link* >.>

The bad thing about fighting games that focuses on online is it kinda sucks for those of us who cannot utilize the online capabilities.

[Jowain92]

A fair judging in my opinion. Fighting games have gone to far on the online part if you ask me, sure an online feature is meant to be good, but focus on it more than the single player mode (when your low on cash and can't afford gold) is a bad idea.

SCV it's getting boring fast, and that counts for online mode, since there is very little to do than to fight. It's not getting better than most players spam the basic moves of certain characters and don't bother to learn anything new.

@devilwillcryle How is that skinny bitch sexier than Taki? Either you're retarded or you're one of those guys that likes a flat chest and no ass. I can't even take her seriously with that stupid hair-style of hers.

[devilwillcryle]

@happynightz that's what they were aiming for, but I guess their purpose was wrong because of those whiners about endings and storyline.

I love their ideas and SCV. I can even unlock stuff through online mode which is GREAT. People don't realize that offline modes are overrated for online fighting games. The only thing I would care for offiline modes is CAS mode

[devilwillcryle]

@happynightz Agree with you. I only played storyline once to unlock characters. After that, CAS, training, and online mode. I work 40 hours and a lot of other things to do. Therefore, I very love SCV although I am not good at it. Why would people care so much about endings and offline mode for online fighting games and CAS is not enough for them? I guess they have a lot of time to waste.

They should only play RPG games since they care so much about storyline and endings.....

@HangNail67 yep agree, only morons and spammers who love cheesy shit like 100% and unlimited combos like MVC3/UMVC3

[devilwillcryle]

@ThelNobbler is because they love Capcom fighting games and they are noob on SCV. I never liked Gamespot or IGN, and I would never will.

[devilwillcryle]

@Mimring88 agree. The only difference is MVC3 or UMVC3 is for spammers super fast. You can do unlimited or 100% combos......which is trash..

The only thing I like about MVC3/UMVC3 is nice skills, supers and graphics.

I still like MVC1 more than any other MVC series because it has short and simple combos and less cheesy.

[devilwillcryle]

@dHeavyEchob Yep the game is easy to learn. The training mode really does its job. It is very easy for new comers to be able to get up to the certain levels which I like it because they would be so many challengers in this game.

Compared to Street Fighters, people had to stare at the scree in training for a lot of dayss just to get the combos right. I work 40 hours and a lot of other things to do, so this game is VERY GOOD to me although I am not good at it.

[devilwillcryle]

@Zero542542

Before whining, you can unlock stuff by playing online mode.

MORE CHARACTERS = more unbalanced and a lot more cheesy shit like MK9.

Taki was bad. They replaced it with a new one who is much better and sexier and also you can make TAKI through CAS mode.

I do agree with you that this game was rushed, but it is still a very good game.
