Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (Character impressions part 3)

Here comes more Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3! Few days ago, 2 more characters were announced in the recent Tokyo Game Show. Who do you expected it to be?? I was freaking amazed myself, when i first saw the trailer. As it turns out to be Iron Fist and Vergil!!! Both of them were my most anticipated characters to be announced after the official addition of Strider and Ghost rider. As i thought game producers will always follow the phrase 'Leave the best for the last', and so i thought both of them will be released pretty dam late. I guess i was wrong. Anyway, some of you might disagree with me saying that Iron fist is being anticipated as a playable character in UMVC3, i will respect your opinions. Vergil anticipated in UMVC3...............HELL YEAHH!!!!! Probably the 1st most anticipated character to me among all the 12 new addition of characters! Guess i had get your hopes high by now, enough of me talking crap, lets get down to the real deal!

Starting with the marvel side first, here comes Iron fist! Never heard of this guy before, until i saw him in mvc3 Ryu's ending. My impression of him back then, a short-ranged combat fighter similar to Ryu. Impression of him now, a fighter with slightly longer range for fist fights. Possesses decent OTGs and certain techniques similar to Shehulk and Dormammu (Hitstun and skills-switching etc.) Probably a much better close-range fighter than the rest. In UMVC3, hes capable of changing the aura of his palms, granting him different strengths during the fight (Colours for his palms aura- pink/blue/yellow). Yeah, a really potential character to explore for extending combos.
Hes hyper's varies with the aura of his palms. For example, when his aura is yellow, his hyper would be similar to wolverine's berserker barrage, punishing the opponents across the screen, providing a wall bounce as well. When his aura is pink, his hyper would be some kind of pink hurricane, punishing anyone near him. Iron fist, possesses a level 3 hyper as well, similar to a falcon punch, but still pretty cool! Character design is all right. If your asking me whether do i look forward to using this guy, my reply would be a Yes! Potential characters everyday bitchess!!!

Capcom's side. The real deal starts now, bringing to you, Vergil from devilmaycry3!!! I was so dam amazed when i saw him back then in UMVC3 leaked list. And now, his official trailer got released, adding even more excitement to the tension! Gameplay wise, hes fast with decent teleports and OTGs, pretty similar to dante and strider. Dont get me wrong, i am not saying hes just a clone. He has his own unique playstyle, fixing mostly everything with just his katana. Expect many fancy stuff with Vergil, another highly potential character. I would take that you all already know that dante got nerfed seriously bad in UMVC3, i could say that Vergil would be a very well good replacement for future combo madness!!

Vergil's hypers, there are 4. One of his hyper, which i think could only be done in air, which is when thousands of blades just spin and hit full screen. Another hyper, where blue blades could be seen circulating around Vergil upon execution, damaging anyone around him. He could also control this blades to be shot at the opponent, or remain at its position. A really powered hyper, in my opinion. A devil trigger hyper, is of course present, which i guess shares the same effect as dante's devil trigger, or perhaps better?? And finally, a level 3 hyper. Pretty ass stylish, perhaps the most stylish level 3 i have seen in the whole game! *Friends told me it may be a level 4 hyper, as the level 3 could only be executed in devil trigger mode, as seen in various gameplay of Vergil. THIS IS JUST AN ASSUMPTION. So yeah, nothing is confirmed yet, so lets just wait and see. Nonetheless, i will be anticipating Vergil when the game is released! Stylish much!!

That concludes part 3 of character impressions of Ulimate umvc3. 4 more characters to be announced. Let me make a wild guess, the next 2 characters to be released would be Nova and Frank West. Leaving Phoneix Wright and Rocket Raccoon for the finale. Anyone agree with me?? Anyway, thats just my wild guess, so for now, lets just wait for more news about characters and perhaps more modes!!!

Have a nice day!
