Games like this are hard to balance. However, it's worth nothing that teams that have 2 of the same characters can play completely differently because of the roles assist play. Altogether, though, it appears to be significantly better balanced at a character level than MvC2 was.

There definitively are popular characters (Vergil, Dante, Zero) but there are a lot of viable teams and character combinations. A reason why Kusoru won Final Round is he figured out how to wffectively use Rocket Racoon, who is considered to be real bad.

Edit: I don't think i've seen anything as unfun to watch in an esport than these Zero players who just get off 70 hits in a row like that.

Hm? UMvC is a kusoge game, going hand in hand with HnK and TvsC.

balance is weird because the entire cast is so good that the game is oddly balanced. I cam in late, but since I started watching I've seen 42/52 characters played. I agree though that it's kind of lame when a bunch of zeros play in a row and just destroy everyone, but you would feel the same way if they streamed 6 rufuses in a row.

There is a top tier, (Vergil, Zero etc) and a fairly large group of characters below that who are viable. Earlier this year it was far more varied (Iron Fist and Rocket Racoon won majors) but approaching Evo its become more top tier centric. And yeah, its impossible to balance, but thats half the fun of it. You haven't even seen the Morrigan bullshit, that stuff will blow your mind.

you should watch zak bennett if he gets on stream next pool. if he gets the first touch on your character he can potentially kill the rest of your team if he executes properly lol.

A shit game game? Sorry couldn't resist, the ge in kusoge already stands for game.
I agree though, I dont really enjoy seeing these kinds of games as a real competitive game.

It's not so much balance that's the problem but that certain characters are extremely unfun to watch. A long combo is only exciting the first time, after that it's just "oh teleport crossup/lightning into 100+ hit BnB again, welp time to take a drink".

I don't know about that, I haven't watched much Marvel 2 but those games seemed to be a lot more measured in their pace. I honestly think mixups are too strong in 3.

YUP. And you have to root against Phoenix, she's bullshit, and Morrigan, and Spencer, and Doom hidden missile abusers. And then your rooting against the whole top 16!

I fucking love this, I spent my whole weekend watching this last year and I'd never even heard of it before and now I'm splitting between this and HSC V. What a weekend this is.
