To my friends who are not part of this, let me bring you up to speed. An internet video became a meme for our game nights that consist of Street Fighters, Mortal Kombats, and the subject of this blog, Marvel vs Capcom 3. This meme would become a battle cry amongst us, calling forth those who deem themselves worthy to engage in battle. There are only two out comes, to lye broken under the heel of another, or to stand high and bask in the sun light, drinking the succulent nectar of victory, from the very fruit we call poundcake.
We all have our chosen rosters, be them heroes, villains, or fighters, but choose them for very specific reasons. Today, I will talk about two of my teams, starting with...
TEAM SUPREME 2.0
This team extends from Marvel vs Capcom 2. In my original Team Supreme my roster consisted of Magneto, the team captain, Akuma, and Sabretooth.
Magneto was a good fit because of the consistant ground and air combos. Akuma came in second because of the constant pressure he can put on a character with his variety of supers. Sabretooth, well he was a monster and I played him like one. Consistent ground to air combos, mix ups with his Beserker Claw and his best feature of all, Birdie. Sadly, Sabretooth would not see Marvel vs Capcom 3 so a third must be chosen.
In Team Supreme 2.0, the team didn't have the same synergy that there was in Marvel vs Capcom 2. I'm not seen playing this team very often then more than the original Team Supreme's notoriety that it has achieved and for nostalgia.
Team Supreme 2.0 still consists of Magneto, however my ability to play as Magneto has GREATLY diminished, Akuma, still a great force of pressure, and an odd choice for the team, Captain America.
Captain America would pave way for my most championing, iconic, and punishing teams yet...
The Avengers
My Avengers, are most notably referred to as "the Offenders" and very much hated.To play as the Avengers takes some getting used to. I know that when I choose this team I am already slower and out maneuvered. I know that if every move is not precise and forward thought I run in to this.
And that's the blond haired little bastard that is my greatest nemesis in the game. Hes faster, more agile, and deals more damage in a single combo by himself in comparison. No one causes me more grief than him, and to think hes played by my twin brother.
So why do I choose the Avengers? Well I'm about to tell you why. Its not because of the amount of damage that they can deal or how much life they have in comparison to others; simply put, I choose the Avengers for what they stand for. NOTHING ELSE!
My team roster consists of Ironman, Thor, and Captain America with the title that sums up my team; Man, Myth, Legend. My roster is comprised of Marvel's greatest superheros who were brought together to protect those who could not protect themselves, and that's a team spirit that cannot be broken.
In seven days, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be released with even more Avengers. New teams will be forged and while Team Supreme will still loom in the background, rest assured my Avengers will always be on the front line.
So what are and why your teams?
