Hopefully the DLC will help bring even more variety to the game, that and people experimenting with more characters from the base roster.

14 characters in top 8 is pretty good.

how was Marvel 3 when it first came out? did it have variety?

I recall it being pretty diverse, you would see alot of teams with Wesker or Doom in the beginning of UMVC3 though. I can't recall MVC3 that well since it's been too long but I remember a ton of Sentinels at that Winter Brawl.

The meta didn't shift to Doom/Vergil and get Zero out of theory god status until a while into the game.

Not so much that she's bad but that SonicFox dropped her and placed her on the mid-lower half of his own tier list.

He's also said that Geets is only good because of his assist so he's got some opinions best served with a grain of salt.
We're just a month into the game, so any tier list is just a tester really.

Here's the top 8:

Winners bracket:
EG|NYChrisG (Trunks, Android 18, Vegeta) vs. FOX|Theo (Adult Gohan, Android 16, Tien)
Fame96 (Cell, Blue Goku, Blue Vegeta) vs. XCaliburBladez (Android 21, Android 18, Cell)

Losers bracket:
Necro Undine (Android 21, Android 18)
vs. FOX|SonicFox (Goku Black, Hit, Android 16)
Nakkiel (Kid Buu, Goku, Adult Gohan) vs. cR|Dekillsage (Trunks, Goku Black, Android 16)

Not bad character variety. We got quite some Androids in top 8 though.

Btw you put Necro's team in XCaliburBladez section, he plays Cell/Kid Buu/Vegeta. Character variety is looking nice.

Not necessarily. It'd be way harder to do than your standard game, but I think I remember ASW saying they weren't against the idea.

It wouldn't be profitable in say Guilty Gear, but I could see some alternate costumes being profitable enough to warrant remaking the character from the ground up. Doubt Postboy Piccolo is high on that list though.

I fucking love this game.

Started adding IADs to my repertoire and although I fuck up more often than I don't, when I do pull it off it's so satisfying.

My favorite thing right now is to jump over someone and IAD back to throw them off. OH YEAH.

As an added benefit, it's also helping me get better at jumping overheads.

My costume ideas

SSj Goku
Ripped Gi
EoZ Gi (GT would work too)
Farmer attire
Saiyan armor from Cell saga

SSj Vegeta
Buu Saga
Badman
King Vegeta armor

Future Trunks
Tapion (screw him as a separate character. this works too)
DBS Trunks
Saiyan Armor
Bojack Outfit version

Teen/Kid Gohan
Saiyan Armor
Goku Gi
Casual Outfit

Adult Gohan
Great Saiyaman
School Clothes
Kai outfit
DBS Casual
Tracksuit

Piccolo
Postboi

Nail
Kami

A18

SSj4 (hear me out. SSj4 Goku only Red Kamehamehas and Super Dragon Fists. This can be a working costume as well without another Goku slot. Change all kamehamehas to red. Remove Kaioken form animation and instead have him Super Dragon Fist for his LVL5 portion of his ultimate move)

Vegeta Blue
RoF Outfit
DBS Casual attire
SSj4 (same as Goku, cept he LITERALLY does nothing. Change galick gun to Final Shine. there you go)

Frieza
Mecha Frieza
Frost (instead of golden, let him get buff and stay buff)

Bardock
Time Breaker Armor
Destroyed Armor

Tien
Green Gi

Krillin
Policeman
BoG outfit (with hair)
Buu Saga

Yamcha
BoG/Super Outfit
Desert Bandit attire

Nappa
Armorless

Cell
If he's not gonnabe a separate charater (hope not) at any more, First form Cell. Even if it looks wierd

A21
Lab Coat/Human form (don't care if tail makes no sense)

You can get a lobby character of Casual Piccolo. ;_;

I'd pay actual money for costumes, I won't lie. Tacos Krillin. Cop Krillin. Armorless Nappa.

...I dunno what kinda costume Kid Buu could have, but he's my third main. Maybe give him Super Buu style costumes. Gotenks vest, Piccolo cape, Gohan gi. That'd be weird, because it never actually happened, but I'd definitely use the Gotenks vest haha.

SonicFox has a pretty low opinion of setplay chars rn, he values neutral a lot. All the top tiers he put have a good neutral and are generally diverse.

I think ChrisG has the right idea, like yeah 18's neutral is bad, but he doesn't have to play her there, he's got Trunks for that. This game lets you switch characters for free off one confirm, after all.

Honest to god I think iADs are the most important tool to learn in this game if you're coming in from another genre of fighters aside from anime. Learning assists, vanish confirms, meter use and other important facets is paramount as well, but in terms of generating pressure anywhere aside from up close, making your opponent have any sort of fear in neutral at high levels, and baiting out some of the more powerful buttons in the game iAD is the biggest building block to be a better player. It makes your oki more threatening, your neutral more threatening, your pressure more threatening, everything. If they know you can iAD consistently it's an entire other layer of patterns and possibilities they have to try to account for during a match.

It does feel like one of the biggest steps I've made since I figured out defense.

I still haven't figured out assists at all, haha.

You know, I went head to head with Theo, trading games earlier this week, but sometimes this game is just so momentum-based and overall discouraging (welcome to the corner, please enjoy your stay). Doesn't help that I only get to play 2-3 match sets an hour.

Man I've been trying to find a match for the last half hour but no luck. I'm 18k away from Majin and I keep running into the same small pool of people who won't play me any more after I 2-0'd them in sets. The few I got who weren't all gave me an EAC peer not trusted error. >_>

At any rate Piccolo seems much better in the back than on the point. Swapping him for Goku Black works out much better, given Black can actually be a threat full screen on his own, and Black's mix-up potential on a sliding knockdown is incredibly powerful with Piccolo's assist given it becomes a true left/right meatie on wake-up when timed correctly. The original plan was simply to use Black to get the corner and then tag in Piccolo to begin the setplay, but I find myself riding it out with Black until he's near death more often than not. Once you smell blood with the character it's hard not to stop pushing lol. Yamcha at second gets a ton out of Piccolo's assist too, including the same left/right with a teleport that Black gets on oki, and I'm not putting him anywhere else on account of WFF assist being so good and him being so ass without some sort of backing presence behind him.

EDIT: If you have a pink color and four bars and decline to play someone because they are also a pink, you're a dork.

Yes and no. We understand enough about fighting game archetypes to know when characters have objectively powerful tools. Cell and 16 are quite obviously top tier.

The questionable characters will be those like Trunks who potentially have access to oppressive set play. It's also up in the air whether dedicated assist characters are actually a useful addition to a team. Vegeta is popular at the moment because he's easy to fit in any given team but his solo capabilities are highly questionable.

Man, no feeling like fighting a dude who's just a smidge better than you and clutches out close games. I feel like I improved just through the two sets I played (we got matched twice) with this dude ssj3autocombo lol.

I would be shocked if Trunks doesn't get Super Trunks as a costume, considering the little amount of work that would be compared to how much money they'll get out of it.

We in there. Gonna enjoy this while I have it, until the game decides to throw me against NeutralScrub 8 times in a row and he takes 30k from me again.
