Can any of these setups just be jumped to get out of the Confire/Strawberry explosion?

Here's a funny thing. Anyone else realize that Capcom's job is to make money? If they successfully get you to pay fourty dollars for MVC3 again then hey they succeeded. You can always voice your displeasure by not buying the game. Vote with your money. Me I like everything they are doing with the game and I think it is worth fourty bucks hence I will buy it. Also I am really psyched about the balance changes. Less powerful wolverine. Nefred phoenix. Yes please. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

Hey guys! I'm actually kind of new to stick usage, and I'm screwing around with button layouts. I figured I would start a thread where we could compare our own button layouts, for people like me who are new to using a stick. I have a HORI Ps3 stick that has a full 4 buttons on top and 4 buttons on the bottom. My most comfortable layout right now is A B C D AB ABC BC ABCD Basically I have all four attack buttons on top and then barrier and rapid near my thumb if I need to press them quickly. Though I'm using the shortcuts less and less and just relying on the normal buttons. My main is tager and my secondary is ragna. I'm considering moving the position of both D and C becuase I use those buttons way more than I use A and B.

Honestly, the only argument that can be made against beginner mode players is that it gives them some sort of unfair advantage. Honestly, I don't think I'm that good at this game, but hell even I can tell that beginner mode opponent's are easier. If someone is able to win a tourney without bursting, rapids, counter assaults, or half of their move selection, I say they deserve it. A desire to ban beginner mode seems to stem from a misguided elitism more than anything. Anyone who is playing beginner mode obviously hasn't learned the game well enough to even do the basic combos beginner mode can do. So I can understand if there is this desire to tell beginner mode users to learn the game rather than to enter tournaments with beginner mode. However, its kind of like natural selection. If they are serious about tourneys, then they will eventually get off beginner mode. If not, then they will say this game is broken and go play something else.

I think that's just a math issue really. Like, OK, a character can't have a really hard or easy time against itself just due to logic. If a character has a really hard time fighting against itself, then your opponent will have equally as hard of a time becuase they are playing the same character. Moreover, if a character's mirror match is easy, then your opponent is having just as easy of a time ... which kind of makes the mirror match hard again. ... AAAAGH MY BRAIN! Anyway, the only actual rating I believe you could give a mirror match is how hard or easy it is to learn said mirror match, but this doesn't really factor into the match-up chart or ranking list becuase the list assumes competency on both ends.

OMG Y IS TAGER SO LOW! HIS 720 DOES 5600 DAMAGE! THAT'S LIKE HALF UR LIFE! NERF TAGER HARD! Is that suitably stupid?

I have an honest question about the Tager/Rachel matchup. So today I saw a strategy with Rachel online that took me by surprised. It was just 100% keep away. No combos. Nothing really other than chip damage, frogs, rods, and pumpkins. Now the basic strategy, as far as I saw was superjump, wind back to get distance. Then projectiles, and simply not care about negative penalty. In fact my opponent was in negative penalty the WHOLE MATCH. When I had spark bolt ready, the strategy on his part seemed to be "do absolutely nothing" not risking a spark bolt hit. Then he would superjump, wind to the other side if I managed to close with sledges or something and wait again, until time ran out. Now, I never lost due to life and heck life never actually ever went to orange, but I fought this guy a few times and chip damage lead+timeout seemed, well pretty powerful. How do I close on an opponent that, literally doesn't care about negative penalty, and specifically does nothing at all except jump to the other side of the screen when sparkbolt is ready? Just curious, I think I'm brainfarting on something really simple here but I don't know what it is.
