Do you have any info on Kuuronn? Just wondering if SMOAI2010 is gonna be uploading any of his online matches, wanna see what new tech this guy has, thanks!

I picked three characters, went into training mode, and found the right order for dhc's and who needs what assist and it ended up working out pretty well so far. More importantly though, you won't understand why you'd want to change your team comp until you start playing matches and have your team's weaknesses exposed.
@carrot, viper's not as complicated as people make her out to be tbh. The difficulty comes in being able to get in effectively and finding ways to convert combos off of odd hits. The combos themselves just take a little practice and some tight timing.
I don't know, just comparing her to other characters (namely AE) she just seems so much more complicated than at least of a majority of others. I'm not very great at either game, just play casually. In your opinion, who do you think the most complicated characters are in both games?
Any of you guys think it's worth picking up the strategy guide? I've heard good things about it, but still not sure. I'm still working on my muscle memory on the fighting stick, reminds me of when I had to work on APM on sc1 T.T.
I think people pick up the strategy guide because of the frame data? Which will be recorded in the shoryuken wiki eventually, I think. For me at least, shoryuken is the best resource for most information. Match videos will probably help a lot to get the gist of what people do in whatever situations.

I picked one up and i find myself using it quite a bit. Its got pretty much all you would ever want to know about a character right there in front of you versus having to look it up online, which is very convenient.
Wait, does the guide actually have practical information? Other than frame data, for some reason, I thought it would be just as useless as the Starcraft guides that come with the battle chest.
If I can find a store that has it, I'm picking up the guide. Mainly because SRK is so slow and annoying to navigate, and frame data + move properties is always useful. Having some sample BnB combos and general playstyle tips isn't bad either.
The guide is really informative. In addition to frame data, you also get useful stuff like execution tips, sample combos, general theory on how you should approach playing a character, etc.

Kuuronn goes by the name G.X. usually.
He will be at our tournament tomorrow. Im waiting for his reply on what team hes running. He might be just running his old team of spencer, hulk, doom.
I finally got it and with no previous MvC experience i find the game quite hard to follow, got raped by some guy who did the same moves all the time, frustrating as it was, it motivates me to pick the game up and learn to play at least decently
my team of choice is : ironfist/amaterasu/dr.strange , i picked them because i think they are cool, i hope they can be playable enough , i completed their missions but i find it really hard to get my combos going in a real game T_T

Nice. Wouldn't be surprised if he stayed with his old team...Spencer/Hulk/Doom got nothing but buffs lol.

any basic tips for a noob like me?
Know the moves that can be punished if they are blocked, look for your opponent to do them and punish them if they do, and try to stray away from using these moves randomly.

One of the key skills that people new to fighting games don't seem to grasp is blocking. This may sound weird but just practice on the CPU set to the hardest mode and just try to block everything. Know what moves are overheads and what moves have super armor/invincibility so you don't get owned by online Hulks.
Also, use your assists, they are their for a reason. Know what assists can help you get in on your opponent, and what assists can be used as a "get off of me" move. Some assists can extend combos, and others can even help you create unblockable situations where you're guarenteed a hit.
trying to pick up c.viper for ultimate was such a mistake, can only get her box dashing loops like 15% of the time but she's so powerful i really want to learn her. Any fellow viper players know of tips to help with learning this?
