Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 – Weird Meter Gain Issue with Amaterasu’s Counter by Adelheid Stark

Adelheid Stark‘s latest Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 video is, in her own words, weird. She was working out a touch of death combo on Thor with Amaterasu on point beginning with Fireworks, Ammy’s counter. In her original attempt, the combo seemed to give her just enough meter to kill Thor at the end with a DHC. However, her second attempt showed the combo to be unreliable as Ammy’s counter somehow gives you meter based on the amount of meter the opponent has.

    That’s very strange, I can’t think of any game-play reason for that unless it has something to do with how the move worked in Okami.

      Okami didn’t have meter gain like that; it was based on regen and gathering ink. And the Reflector counter didn’t do anything other than pile-drive an attacker. The UMvC3 thing seems like a weird bug.

    I wonder if all the counter specials are like this? Strange.

    theres also the issue that you are always using a downward TAC to bring in the next character as well.

       I think you’re missing the point here…

    • Natat

      That’s not the point of the video, is it…

    • Zak Coulter

      uuuuuuh I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt. Explain yourself.

     although i guess that wouldnt matter if you had one stock already.

  • Garrett Jones

    At first I thought it was strange that a female would discover something useful about a fighting game, then I watched the video and was put at ease to realize it was a man faking a woman’s voice. Phew.

    • infominutebrad

      Adelheid is actually a girl.  in fact, there are a number of female combo vid makers.  get ready, cause i’m about to white-knight the sh*t out of this post….

      -theQueenOfLove discovered the She Hulk butt flop re-launch that Combofiend uses.  he even gave her credit on Twitter.

      -Isadelica was the first to create the Vergil sword loops (the full TOD version). She also created some of the best Dante combos back in Vanilla.

      -Adelheid has made a ton of great videos, with multiple discoveries and combos that had not been known before.

         I checked the profile image. I’m still convinced I’m right.

            I was wondering why I suddenly had dozens of new friend requests. I bet it’s this |:

            i removed the link.  sorry about that.  was just trying to put an end to the argument

             Haha! I switch my avatar back and forth between male and female all the time on LIVE. Every time I’m female my friend requests from random people spike! ;D

    Thank you for playing classical music instead of annoying hiphop or electronic garbage.  Nice to watch a video to a real instrument playing not some no talent DJ.

      Stupid kids won’t stay off your lawn, huh?

    • http://www.facebook.com/SAGEMUZIQ Andre Livsey

      lol you’re absolutely right, hip hop and electronic music is all garbage, only classical music is REAL music smh

      • Johnson Nguyen

        To his defence, he said it’s nice to watch a video to a real instrument playing. It could have been rock, metal, country, instrumental and he’d have said the same. Said nothing about only classical music being REAL music.

        • OrehRatiug

           Who is anyone to say what REAL music is was his point.

        • eunsun

          “How dare you use new forms of technology to create new forms of art! It’s not REAL art!” – something a lot of people have said over the course of history, yourself included. and hint, they always look like silly later

          rock music in general (which I like just fine, as well as jazz, rap, progressive, industrial) is one of the most corporatized, bland, target audience so easily in the scopes exploitable $$ genres of music of all time. i would sure as hell rather listen to shitty rap or shitty electronic than shitty radio rock or “metal” bands, are you serious about that preference? or do you just personally lack the ability to discern between good and bad music so you make up goofy rules

          you seriously speak like someone who does not know jack shit about music theory, production, or history, GTFO off the internet child

    Think Adelheid might need a new microphone, sounds a little cheap.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Adelheid-Stark/100000482949571 Adelheid Stark

      I knew someone would call me on this! I’m on vacation and while I brought my recording equipment, I absentmindedly left behind my headset. I was just using my laptop’s internal microphone for this. I tried to clean it up in post as much as I could, but this was the result I got ):

        For a bit, I couldn’t tell if you used a computer generated voice or your own. It reminded me of classic Resident Evil voice acting lol.

    whats the song playing in the backround?

        The goal of art in the mind of Herbert Jones Rovbinson is to maintain the status quo. That’s all.

  • RenaTurnip

    Now that is a weeeird bug. Although I doubt it’ll come into play much unless you’ve just done a sideways exchange against the opponent and then managed to hit them with a counter.

  • Carlitonsp

    Interesting, there may see something similar with Morrigan’s Soul Drain and Shuma Gorath’s Grab.

    Well Doggone it, Amateratsu’s counter is unreliable. What a Bitch, what Mongrel at Capcom messed this thing up?

    I think I used all the Dog Puns I could think of.

  • Funkimonki

    I’m guessing no one actually noticed that Ammy is gaining the same amount of meter as Thor does for taking the damage from Fireworks. That’s why when it’s set to 0 meter she gains nothing, because selecting that option prevents the training dummy from gaining any meter from damage, hence Ammy no longer gains any meter either…….simples ;)

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Adelheid-Stark/100000482949571 Adelheid Stark

      Uh. This is really wrong. Setting meter to 0 doesn’t prevent the training dummy from gaining meter. Why would it? That’d be really dumb. It just sets it to start at 0. If that was true giving them meter by hitting them wouldn’t reveal what it does and ugh

      • Funkimonki

        Sorry, my bad…..shoulda been paying more attention, doh!

  • Maximumlimits

    It seems like Training mode is full of bugs. In the one desk video, where he explained how P1 has an advantage over P2, it was mentioned it’s only occurs in training mode and not in an actual fight.

    adelheid is a transgender, which is why the voice sounds off.
