Season's Greetings, and may the new year bring you a new UMvC3 team.

How's it going people? Just wanted wish everyone reading this a Merry Christmas!

So I've been spending the better part of the last few weeks working on UMvC3. I've been doing a lot of work trying to find characters that I like and that I can make a viable team from. So I essentially started with Dr. Doom who is a solid character with somewhat easy execution, and played around with a number of other characters including Nova and Wesker.

After a few weeks of work with various characters and gradually increasing my execution, I played with one character that I never thought I would mess with due to the reportedly high execution requirements. C.Viper.

The reports of her difficulty are not an exaggeration. Her B&B combos are not the hardest thing in the world they just require specific timing of air dashes and fast fingers. What makes her really high execution is some stuff you might have seen from MarlinPie, that would be the rapid seismo.

So a neat little trick of a lot of Vipers moves are that they are jump cancelable. So if you want to you can do a seismo, input a jump and before the jump comes out, cancel to another seismo. It's really difficult, but it provides her with a really good zoning tool. I'm still working on that trick. But the short answer is that I've found probably what will be my point character in Viper.

I'm still working on the third character, right now I'm running a variation on MarlinPies teams using Viper/Doom/Ammy. I'm going to keep focusing on Viper/Doom but I'm going to experiment with Magneto and Iron Man. I got rocked by an Iron Man a few weeks ago and it makes me think that the character is not as bad as everyone thinks.

Anyways, signing out for now. Check out twitch.tv/vgbootcamps I'll be on that stream from time to time playing and hopefully commentating in the near future.

Happy Holidays!
