Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Series Catch-All

I suppose I'll be one of the few that'll get this on PS3?

I'mm gonna try the Darkstalkers femme fatale team. No reason other than their looks. They look in sync with one another.

I bought SF4 on both. SF4 was a bargain and I'm not shelling out $60 for each copy.

Admit it - You're doing it for the achievement.

Someone on my friends list is playing this *right now*. I am green with envy.

Yea all kinds of stores are breaking the street date. Hell where I work, we have like 200 copies sitting in the warehouse and they won't let me buy one. Argh.

Nothing in my area ever breaks the street date. Sigh, Tuesday will come soon enough I suppose.

Party on Tuesday?

I'm grabbing it on the 360. Looking forward to getting some good fights in.

I'll be there.

I'll be getting it on 360. I generally suck at fighting games, but I have fun.

I'm undecided. My local friends are PS3, my goodjer friends are majority 360... Decisions!

That'll make up for your Pinball FX2 scores.

360 here too.

SRK has their wiki up, for those of us who want to study up before tomorrow night.

Link!

I'm in for both systems but got an arcade stick for 360

About bloody time! These are the guys who have been able to play the damn game at every major event, I was expecting this to be up a long time ago.

EDIT: Oh, and a few reviews are up, in case anybody was confused as to what this game is about.

In anticipation I'll be on tonight and probably playing some MvC2 if anyone is up for it.

My copy may be here tomorrow. When you're in a lobby, can you also fire up training mode? If not, maybe just staying in a party and playing around in training mode until one's game makes more sense. Sounds like it'll be a more enjoyable experience than practising in SFIV.

I have my copy in my car. Now I just have to wait until it's not totally inappropriate to blow out of the office.

The worst part is, I'm self-employed, and there's no one here to say that I can't leave. Of course, there's also no one to pick up the slack for me, and I eat what I kill, so I'll stay here for the time being. Stupid adulthood.

I'm going to take you for a ride.

This would be awesome, but I will be surprised if it's the case. I imagine that if it's not your turn in a lobby, you'll just be stuck watching the lobby screen. I will be glad to be proven wrong in a few hours.

Agreed, now that they don't have spectator mode anymore. This is why I'm planning to limit my lobby size to 4, that way people aren't sitting around staring at a player list for too long. That said, I'm still glad to have lobbies over the 1v1 max in SF4, that was just silly. Any kind of lobby size > 2 is better than max of 2.

After watching the basics videos over at SRK, I'm totally down with a team of Chris, Wesker, and Dante. Dante will be replaced by Jill when she comes out. My bench warmers will be Zero, Ryu, and Chun-Li.

EDIT: I will also be finding a spot for Deadpool, because I know where my curly mustache at.

Yeah. It seems that lobbies are redundant.

Also, now that there's a handicap available, the winner in winner-stays-on should knock his health down after each win.

Assuming all you can do is sit there, what's the point in even using the lobbies? If it is substantially quicker to get people into or out of games, then I can see there could be an argument. But if it's not, surely just use an XBL party and people can 'wait' in training mode.

You can't see the match that is going on if you are in the lobby as well? That bites. I have my copy in the car and I'm just waiting for work to be done. I grabbed the last special edition at the local best buy.

Yep, this is what Capcom meant when they said "there's no Spectator Mode".

Good point on the party 1Dgaf. Assuming there isn't *anything* to do while in the lobby, I'd much rather just wait to have my name called. Kinda reminds me of putting my quarter up on the cabinet, then going to play another game while the 6 quarters in front of me take their turns.

EDIT: Copy in hand, Amazon wins once again. I'll be online and playing sometime tonight with a couple buddies of mine, hop into the party if you want to join.

I ordered from amazon, too. Mine will be here tomorrow (mabye).

I had originally assumed that "no spectator mode" meant you can't just join up to a random match to watch it.

Picked it up today (had $15 off from Best Buy and a new job so as to actually afford it).

Not too bad. I will say i kind of hate newb mode but if that gets more people to play? Great.
