  • Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 has a whopping 50 characters in its roster, and while some of them like Zero, Morrigan, and Vergil are infamous for being ridiculously strong, what about the other end of the spectrum?
    In this video, we'll be exploring the bottom tier of the game's character roster and analysing each character to find out why they are considered low tier!

    I like the that Phoenix Wright's weaknesses are generally so canon accurate. Like he's terrible most of the time, but his weaknesses and strengths are both so in character.
    -Court cases in the actual series are incredibly stacked against the defense, and it's a big part of the commentary in the story. Being more than a low-tier hero wouldn't be in character.
    -In canon, he's known for being incredibly lucky, in the way that impacts him both really positively and really negatively.
    -Getting tournabout mode requires you to properly dig up dirt on the opponent, and either find a vulnerable moment in their defense or to combo into it.
    -Combos into tournabout come across like the moments where Phoenix has to build up his argument slowly before getting you.
    -Not all major tournabouts in Ace Attorney are case enders, sometimes a subject is able to keep the case from closing with good defense even after a minor slip up. Even being challenged to keep that momentum is in-character.
    -Good play requires great teamwork and synergy with the rest of your team and I can think of a lot of moments of other characters coming in clutch and saving the case in Ace Attorney. He has a lot of moments requiring others to pull through and they often do in the most clutch situations.
    It feels like a lot of the other characters were bad because they lack tools other characters have, meanwhile Wright is doomed to be low tier from the start because it would not be Ace Attorney if you weren't playing as somebody who wasn't hated by the system itself. Yet he's just barely capable of pulling through with a combination of genuine skill at getting through the opponent's defenses, teamwork, and a lot of luck.
    If you want Phoenix Wright to be a top tier then make Edgeworth playable.

      I will say that, due to the Active Assists of MVCI, Phoenix would’ve likely been a top tier there because you could summon Maya, have Phoenix look for evidence, then active switch to Ultron and defend Phoenix while he looks for evidence, which means that when he were to get lucky that’s a free Turnabout.

    If your wondering if Iron Fist's launcher being only grounded was intentional or not, they have a specific Iron Fist only flag within his launcher parameters specifically to only hit if the opponent is grounded. This was 100% intentional and it would have been fine if he had better tools to accommodate for this, but unfortunately he doesn't.

    I'd love a follow-up on this video going over common team synergies that actually make these characters work, like IHeartJustice's team, or Sacktap's teams helping PW and Ghost Rider respectively! Because while these characters well earn their role of low tier, it's important to remember that Marvel is in fact a team building game, and seeing the interesting synergies people use to get the most out of these characters is always fascinating!

    I think characters like Phoenix and Frank would benefit greatly from an assist that helps with their mode change
    Frank could have a photo assist that gives half xp as a downside
    While Phoenix could have an assist that collects evidence in lmh order with the downside that you have to throw bad evidence away only when you control him
    It’s kinda like in dbzf where characters like gogeta and base goku have assist that level them up or charge their projectile it’d be cool

    One of the things I love about UMVC3 (and tag team fighting games in general) is that picking a low tier isn’t necessarily a death sentence to your viability as a competitive player. As long as you’ve got stronger characters on your team (Sentinel, Doom, Dante) to clean up after Phoenix Wright, Tron, Nemesis, etc, you can still find success.

    @johnpauliuk1382 Місяць тому +12

    As someone whose channel is devoted to Ryu UMVC3 combos (at the moment) I will like to say a few points.
    For his assist value, Hadoken has a fixed hitstun meaning that the opponent can't pop out of it which is why its a great combo extension tool. His shoryuken is not used because it is more meant as an alpha counter tool which is a sorely underused mechanic in general.
    In regards to his combos, he has many ways to make longer combos but as you said in your video, people only go as far as the combo you showed and don't really go for the fancier Denjin combos or double Shinku Hadoken combos. You are absolutely right about how sad he is without meter though.
    As for some things that make Ryu unique, well being able to aim Shinku Hadoken up ward isn't bad as only a few characters have a super that goes straight up. His Shin Hadoken (a rarely seen super since most player rarely use his install in the first place) is able to cover the an area over his head as well as in front of and behind him (this is notable in the MorriDoom match up) if he is on the ground and below him in the air. Plus Hado Shorykun having a the most invincibility of any special move in the game allows him to blow through many supers and pressure setups. Finally, his hadoken begin slow allows him travel behind his where as his Ren Hadokens can help him play some keepaway since it can be canceled into a super. Again noting that Ryu must have meter to do things.

    So pheonix wright has a few more nuances that you never mentioned.
    You can grab pw through maya shield, so playing him vs any character with a command gram, or even a character that can easily run up grab is a struggle.
    The most important thing is that yes his evidence is rng, but the rng is based off of a seed that is selected at character select, and he keeps that seed until you go back to character select.
    So if you got good evidence on pulls 1,2, and 4. You will keep getting good evidence on pulls 1, 2, and 4 every time you hit rematch. Conversely if you got bad evidence on first 5 pulls. You want to hit character select asap to get a new seed.

    Ryu is honestly an honest character in a game where normal fighting game honesty is discouraged.
    He's a level 5 fighter vs level 30 wizards and rogues.

    As a long time Nemesis player, you pick up a few strats here and there.
    When using Bioweapon Assault (the Hyper Combo where Nemesis shoots rockets) at the end of a combo, dash back to try and be on the other side of the screen as possible to ensure that all the rockets hit, especially on those with small or wonky hitboxes, like Arthur, Firebrand, M.O.D.O.K, Tron Bonne. The Dirty Noodles (His Forward H) will be your best ally for pressure and some combo solo combo extensions, especially when they are angled down from the air. With the proper assists, you can close in space or pressure or even mix up with a low hitting assist, like Deadpool's Katana-Rama, Wesker's Samurai Edge, She-Hulk's Torpedo.
    Also one trick you can do with Nemesis is if you use the Standing Dirty Noodles and the opponent is caught crouching directly under the attack and they don't push block, you can immediately cancel it into Light Tentacle Grab and snatch them up if they are caught unaware. Also since by the time you use Light Clothesline or Rocket Slam in a combo, the damage scaling will be enough that if you use Standing Light or Crouching Medium, the opponent with air recovery and you can use Medium Tentacle Grab to snatch them up as well, especially if the opponent's character has little to no air mobility or simple is not expecting it. On the topic of Tentacle Grab, Nemesis has an infinite with it on certain characters. It's Tentacle Slam, either standing or crouching Light, and Medium Tentacle Grab. On some larger, less air mobile characters, it can be an infinite.
    One last thing also is using H Rocket Slam (the one where it launches them in the air) in the corner and using the H Tentacle Slam, since the H Rocket Slam leaves them at the perfect distance to be command grabbed. This works again on characters with terrible air mobility or if they aren't expecting it.

    I love that Nemesis is massive and supposedly unstoppable, but he has no armor on the moves that actually matter. His level 3 and grounded normals could definitely use the DBFZ Broly treatment. He still wouldn't be *good* but it'd be something unique.

    Been trying to make a theoretical worst team for UMvC3 so this video has been pretty helpful. If anyone’s curious:
    Point- Hsien Ko (Weapon Toss)
    Mid- She Hulk (Somersault Kick)
    Anchor- Wright (Paperwork)
    Mediocre at best damage, bad movement, everyone is meter hungry, bad against zoning and aerial foes, Golden Hsien is pointless since her assist sucks, and good luck getting Turnabout when Wright is your last character and has no assists.

  • @brendanhughes5679
    @brendanhughes5679 Місяць тому +3

    I think a point that should've been highlighted a bit more is Phoenix's Turnabout Mode. Lots of casual players will see this flashy new mode and then claim it makes Phoenix top tier, which would then make him a mid tier character overall (top tier in Turnabout, low tier outside of it). But, Turnabout isn't as much of a game changer as it seems. While he gets a fast, ground bouncing overhead move, he doesn't get a good low to compensate, with his only low still being his crouching light, which has ZERO range. It's not uncommon to see people hold up back against Phoenix in Turnabout. His zoning tools may be good to keep people out, but unless the opponent is at a life deficit and the timer is running low, there really isn't any reason to approach Phoenix. Any character with half decent mobility can wait out the timer.
    This isn't to say it's bad, just severely overrated. You will very often see good Phoenix players steamroll once they get in Turnabout, but that's mainly because his buffed moves give him an actual incoming mix, something that almost every other character has without the need for an install. His damage output is insane, but that's only to compliment the very short timer on Turnabout. Typically, it doesn't matter how fast you kill a character as long as you get the kill since most optimized combos in this game will TOD.
    TLDR; If you have the lead or the corner, Turnabout is amazing, but the lack of a reliable low and the short timer absolutely do not make it a top tier install.

    • @khajiitinskyrim8874
      @khajiitinskyrim8874 Місяць тому

      Also with how you have to gather evidence, you’re kinda forced to play him on point and have assists to protect him if you really want to optimize Wright. Outside of turnabout, you’re basically playing a 2v3

    • @brendanhughes5679
      @brendanhughes5679 Місяць тому +1

      @@khajiitinskyrim8874 I think to play him most effectively, him being on mid is honestly better. Having a point take the heat to set him up for success by winning the point war helps him so much. Obviously it's a gamble because if you lose, you'll be left with a Wright/Anchor shell. Some teams really appreciate him on mid tho, like Spencer/Wright/Doom. Spencer gets a guaranteed unblockable using Wright's dog assist, meaning literally any hit leads to a kill regardless of scaling and it saves a lot of meter. Spencer also appreciates being able to safe DHC out of bionic arm. Aonien runs the team, would recommend checking him out if you haven't, best Wright player imo for how he uses Wright's best attributes to their fullest.

  • @BrainGeniusAcademy
    @BrainGeniusAcademy Місяць тому

    As a pretty decent Nemesis player, I enjoyed your summary of him but there's definitely a few key details that could be mentioned!
    Nemesis is an armored character like Hulk, but with Armor that is so slow it is practically useless. Where Hulk is getting armor on frame 3 (5M) or frame 6 (5H), Nemesis' armor won't protect him until frame 10 (5H) or frame 16 (2H)!! Having slow normals definitely can be an issue in this game, but Dante's are just as slow, for reference. Nemesis is more worried about his armor AND...
    Nemesis can't deal with small characters!! I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned, but not only do small characters GREATLY increase the odds that the rocket launcher super messes up, but Nemesis just can't hit them. 5H will completely whiff on arthur, morrigan (crouching) etc., and 5M, one of his best pokes, can whiff too! Plus a lot of Nemesis' zoning AND approach is done via noodles - ground noodles will whiff on tons of the cast, and jumping noodles will have big deadzones to deal with, which small characters get to take advantage of. PLUS a lot of small characters can zone very effectively (the ones I mentioned above, rocket raccoon, V. Joe) - imagine you finally get in on them with this giant meatball and you can finally do something... and some of your most important options will just whiff and get you killed.
    Disagree on nemesis slowness! You even make a joke that sentinel is fast, but Nemesis plink dash is just as good or better. Ground movement is NOT Nemesis' weakness, and his (regular) jump lets him control lots of space with Noodles. Against zoners none of this helps him, so your comments about having to call assist + super jump are well-founded, but his ground movement is good.
    I know you weren't talking about X-factor in this video, but I'll also note that Nemesis has a very annoying issue with his x-factor, at levels 2 and 3 especially. If you're familiar with dante's x-factor 2 problem, where his sword will skip crucial animation frames, imagine that but even worse. Nemesis suddenly can barely do a j.MMHS magic series due to the way his rocket launcher animates during x-factor, meaning you have to do super delayed j.MHS series to finish combos, and his extended corner BnBs are much trickier or impossible, depending on context. EVEN worse: his light command grab (for hitting grounded opponents) doesn't reach as low, meaning a large percentage of the cast can crouch under his (GROUNDED) command grab when Nemesis is in x-factor!!
    I'm also a little surprised you didn't mention his assists like you did for some other characters in this vid - they are quite underwhelming as well :p
    Anyway that's it, just some insight from somebody who spent way, wayyyyyy too long playing this crappy character.
