    As someone who's played a lot of the Gundam Vs series, this "build a team where better characters cost more" system sounds really fun to me. I would love to see a tournament come down to two teams with one god-tier character and two 1 point heroes.

    Amingo was my first "main". Also he apparently was designed for Darkstalkers (as well as Ruby Heart), but the game was never finished or released. Maybe if we get a real updated sequel they will pop up.

    Amingo is the reason I gave this game a try in the arcades originally, I was never an x-men fan and I only played Nintendo games so I didn't care about Capcom either. But I saw that cactus and he looked wild so I popped a few quarters in and button mashed happily.

    Amingo is really fun. Several launcher options, tk-able spin move, low frame rate for light attacks, far reaching heavies, mashable vertical super for punishing jump-ins, and he brings his own maracas. If you can time it right, a fun thing to do is guard break an incoming character by planting a minion cactus then jumping hk+turnip spin; they land on the mini and you get a free ult or safe switch out.

    I think part of the reason for the best assists to be at 4 is so they won't see play for what they are. If they were a 3 point character then they'd be paired with one of the 4 point front characters and Roll.
    In the same logic, its why servbot is a 1 pointer. He's just better then roll in that he does a few more things

    • @jeremymore451
      @jeremymore451 2 года назад

      Servbit definitely should not see play at 1 point, but at 0 he'd see almost exclusive play probably.

  • @mehrio2640
    @mehrio2640 3 года назад +1

    In UMvC3 certain characters with strong assists get an extra point if you pick the strong assist and I feel you can implement this with MvC 2 so that every character can see play for example CC can be a 0-1 cost character but if you pick the good assist he goes up to 4 points same as Psylocke but she’s decent so she can be 2 this shouldn’t be done to every character just the characters who have really good assist but aren’t great by themselves
