Logic fail.

SSF4 balance is looking great atm either way. 8 different chars in the top 8.

May not even be 8 different chars in the top 8 for UMvC and they get 3 per team.

If you didn't play Vanilla MvC3, you really won't understand why people are fine with Phoenix now despite the type of mechanic or playstyle she'll force the game into. And either way, Filipino Champ wins PRIMARILY on the strength of his great Mags/Doom play. Those 2 characters opening up people are the reason why he can still attempt his Phoenix team. And watching his FGTV streams, he'll even beat people using NORMAL Phoenix.

Phoenix back then was ridiculous b/c you could tank with your 2 characters and easily build to 5 without even spending too much effort extending combos. Now, the team synergy really makes the difference in how you get to Phoenix. Only FChamp & pre UMvC3 Flocker (Zero/Tron was his BnB) made this work.

This is a good explanation. Still think it is bad game design but w/e. Not like Evo cares (tho the fans still boo her lol).

no I'll only believe Ryu is balanced if Daigo doesn't win

Challonge UMvC3 bracket, will probably be updated more frequently than others:

I wish I knew what was going on because all the flashy lights make it kind of hard to follow. Still, entertaining. Also, these combos seem ENDLESS.

Sad troll attempt. The Risk/Reward on Ryu isn't in the same galaxy as DP.

So we can agree on one thing: this game has a lot of bullshit tactics?

You still aren't addressing my point. Idc if there are ways to beat Phoenix-teams. My point is that Dark Phoenix herself is stupidly overpowered. You agree to that yes? Then if we accept that, even if it is VERY HARD to get to her, and there MANY TACTICS to beat her teams, the fact that IF you get to her you are almost guaranteed to win is bad game design.

Then you have somebody, like Fchamp, who has figured out how to get to her at least 3/5 games, and you break the game.

You missed the Phoenix OP boat by a year. She's perfectly fine in UMVC3

"perfectly fine" might be an exaggeration in my opinion but whatever floats your boat

Against a good portion of the cast she gets randomed out just as easily as she randoms out others. It may not be the most fun character to deal with, but whining about her current iteration is just silly.

I don't know man... your explanation makes sense, it's just that I don't know how to translate it with words, but from my point of view, as a seasoned gamer, I think that the design of this character seems... odd; compared to the rest of the roster anyway. I can't quite put my finger on it, but my guts tell me that there is something wrong with Phoenix. This is where I kind of agree with On_Slaught when he talks about bad game design. Anyway I still love Marvel so it's all good.

That's exactly why DP (and Zero) are not bad game design. :/

I personally believe On_Slaught is reaching to discredit FlipChamp, so we are on the same page!

Someone still thinks Phoenix is OP? It's not 2011 anymore. There's too many ways to lose her, she's definitely good, but definitely not worth whining about.

Believe me, I also hate Phoenix b/c it brings a very negative type of meta to the game. Her + X-Factor are the pinnacle of what a comeback should not be lol. Either way, I really believe that team synergy is the key to Marvel...Unfortunately we're not really seeing that at all, now that all these glitches knock out any chance of people finding team tech like the Japanese (MameSpider & Kusoru) are showing us.

if you are going to tie pheonix's balance to fchamp, at least look at how many games actually get that far. fchamp wins a majority of his games without DP.

edit: or games like that where he would have clearly won if dp didn't exsist
