I found Shuma a really fun character to play as in MVC2. Never was very good with him, but he was fun.

I can give you some pointers, if you want.

He's got some really great pressure when assisted by Sentinel drones, Doom rocks, or a similar sort of projectile assist. Plus, you can push people into the corner very easily by ending his air combos with his up+HP eye beam.

When you get them cornered, call out your projectile assist, load up Chaos Dimension, and grab them while they're blocking the projectiles. You wouldn't even believe how many people falter against these pressure tactics. ^^;;;

^Thanks for the tips! I don't play a whole lot of Marvel but I'll keep them in mind next time I have some games. I'll need to repair my sticks/finish my new one soon, since the one I'm using now only has 5 Face buttons available (amatuer electronics lawl) so it's pretty much only being used for SNK  games at the moment.

Are there any uses for his D+LK (I think that's the command) Concrete Drop move? What sort of assist is best for him do you think? I always used his Mystic Smash (Expansion I think). Anyway, I just realised I'm actually very happy about him being announced for MVC3!

[fluffymoochicken]

Wow, so did you build your arcade stick all by yourself, then? @_@

His expansion (Mystic Smash) assist is good as a counter move, but it's also extremely unsafe on block (just like the real move). His projectile assist is the one I use instead. Even though it has a longer startup time, it can be used for interesting combos.

His concrete drop is really only good for occasional surprise attacks. There's really no other use for it, and it's unsafe on block unfortunately.

[MadeManG74]

Yeah, I built both my sticks myself pretty much from scratch, working on a third one at the moment too! I'll be sure to post some pics when it's done. They aren't top quality or anything, but it's a fun and rewarding hobby.

I never really used Shuma's mystic stare assist all that much, I should look into it next time. And yeah the concrete drop seemed a little gimmicky, but when it does work it seems to work well.

I find Shuma Gortah kinda tricky to use, but he is very cool nonetheless.

[fluffymoochicken]

Yeah, he is really difficult to use and doesn't have a ton of attack options, which is why he's bottom tier. But I've found that the only characters he really suffers against are really good keep-away Cables (not garbage Cables, they're free), Blackheart, and Doom. But then, what mid-to-low characters don't have trouble with them?

Despite all this, I've been making people rage quit against Shuma left and right. =)

So Mike Haggar is pretty much confirmed from a recent interview where She-Hulk's Capcom rival was revealed to be "The Mayor". ^__^

Mike Haggar and Shuma-Gorath will make quite a combo, I can tell you that right now.

Is he going to play like a grappler character? Because now that I've figured out how they work I've been having fun with them in SSFIV.

I'm so glad Phoenix is in this. She's always been such a cool character. Looking forward to Haggar as well.
Just a few more weeks guys, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is almost here!
