Having every character really good is a great thing any way you look at it. Having characters with a lot of options and strong aspects means the game will have a lot of depth and it will be more exciting and entertaining to play and watch. I think some of you are over thinking too much. Most characters being good doesn't mean that you won't need fundamentals or that the game will be more random. All it means is that it will be more balanced and that you won't really see a character with all winning match-ups like Kabal in MK9/UMK3. Having every character able to compete is going to make this game so much better than if they were all bad, it's common sense.

Mahval minus X-Factor and infinites, sounds good to me.
and stupid explosions everywhere
And bullshit teleport mixups that get to abuse crossup overhead oversized hitboxes. Seriously...fuck that game. I quit it for a lot of reasons and I was one of its biggest supporters on GAF for years, but the amount of lockdown possible in that game with assists is high and coupling that with dudes with teleports as good as Dante, Vergil, Strider or Wesker and its ridiculous. Plus Doom Missiles are absolutely stupid. They should disappear if he's hit. That guaranteed interrupt is just like putting the brakes on any matchup so he's on nearly every team. Plus since day 1 Vanilla X Factor has lasted too long and netted FAR too many bonuses to the player in terms of speed, damage, setups, and saving throws if you use it as a mechanic. Making folks able to become ridiculously broken for periods of time that get longer the more meter they have is not a good tool for balance. Broken as hell is still broken as hell even if its on a time limit so why throw it in and call it a good thing?

Screw hammer.
Screw helmbreaker.
Screw Vajra.
Screw Dark Phoenix.
Screw Dark Wesker.
Screw Vergil's hitbox and damage output.
Screw Doom Missile assist abusing teams.
Screw the loops and tac infinites.
Screw X Factor

I switched to KoF XIII because I was sick of braindead stuff like that. There was a ton of tech I respected and a ton of players I respected but they all were drowned in an OCEAN of what I just mentioned on stream and tourney. Thats the meta for that game now.

Psh, who cares about offensive lockdown? It's all about that MoriDoom.

That is the very definition of lockdown. Though at least that takes some skill to pull off since its not easy to do all those fireballs.

Im really interested in seeing how Bane's Venom, Lex's armor, and Doomsday's armor all turn out in the final release after the patch. All of these tools seem to net the player really good options to stay on top of people and not care about zoning. High level with these guys may be pretty legit. Though I will say this...Hulk could gamma charge through projectiles, gamma wave killed projectiles, and he had armor and he didn't do shit.

All 3 confirmed for becoming Dan-tier because of scrubs complaining they can't spam zone their shit all day.

Man, Final Round UMvC3 grand finals were so boring. MoriDoom is so retarded to watch, can't imagine playing against it.

Unless that Marvel update actually comes, don't be surprised to see MoriDoom get picked up more heavily.
