Cooler game

Is it me or UMvC3 is cooler than MvC3? It looks darker, less bright colored, it's like more mature or something... more MK9-ish :) Anyway, it appeals to me now. The ones who have the game: can you describe it in comparison with MvC3, just a little bit so I can get an idea about the differences?

Way more balanced. Majority of the cast is viable in a tourney setting (if not all) in some way or another, either through assist, point, or anchor. All of the 12 new characters are interesting and each give a different playstyle from the rest of the cast.

The new hit stun deterioration, assist hit stun scaling and -10% meter building update forces players to rely more on mixup on certain characters. You also need tighter combos now than before due to the HSD. You pretty much have to relearn a lot of things in the new game

Also because of the air dash nerf, rushdown isn't as herp-derp. Overall zoning is effective in this game so far.

There are a few minor gripes (why did wesker get buff?), but overall the new changes are good and basically elevated the game.
