Marvel Masters Of The Universe

Gamescom 2011: Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Updated Hands-On Preview

In between running to appointments and bumping elbows with roughly 250,000 attendees per day here at Gamescom 2011, we somehow managed to squeeze in some hands-on time with the latest additions to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. We're talking about Nemesis, Jill Valentine's supernatural stalker from Resident Evil 3, and Doctor Strange, master of the mystic arts from the Marvel universe.

While we weren't able to uncover all of their secrets, between our notes and Capcom special advisor Seth Killian's Doctor Strange and Nemesis breakdowns, you should have a better understanding of how this duo handles.

We'll start with Nemesis. This character was a sluggish brute whose limited mobility options were counterbalanced by some truly devastating damage-dealing potential. His move set may not be as flashy as the game's other new contender, but its simplicity let us easily piece together a few basic combos after only a few rounds of play. And unlike some of the game's other heavy hitters, Nemesis packed a few ranged attacks to help make him deadly at any distance.

The fireball input with light attack had Nemesis take a step forward and clothesline the opponent. The medium-attack version bounced the foe off the wall, followed by Nemesis shooting the foe with a horizontal rocket shot. The heavy-attack version also produced a wall bounce, followed by a rocket shot at a 45-degree angle. Using a special attack with this input had the beast fire a horizontal rocket without the clothesline setup.

While that initial step forward on the start up of these moves helped Nemesis get across the screen a little quicker, if it and the opponent were too close to the edge, the rockets would sail under the enemy after the wall bounce. We needed ample room to give our foe time to fall into the rocket's path. Naturally, against larger targets--such as Hulk--the rocket landed more often, while Arthur and Wolverine constantly missed the explosive.

Some interesting new finds.... - Comic Book Resources Forums

Yesterday I came back from a shot trip to Luxembourg, in which I visited someone who offered me his collection of American and European comics. I was quite the collection i guess aprox. 1000. In a telephone call shortly before he told me it contained some old American comics, and I was highly anticipating to see it, because he told me he had some old Kiss comics. Could it be the Marvel Kiss comics I am looking for? I have problems inserting attachments. I will post asap But I indeed found that Kiss comic, also the second, which was more released as a promotion tool for their "film". Their are both in remarkable condition, the Beatles comics is also very good, always been protected by a plastic bag. Allready had interested people calling for the Kiss and the Beatles mag. For the Kiss comics (both) they allready offered 130 euros, for the Beatles one was the highest bid 100 euros but I think it is worth more. On Mile High they charge about 350 Dollar for the comic with poster. Mine is with and completely intact poster. I have problems inserting attachments. I will post asap.

Some of the other finds were some GoldKey comics like "The man from UNCLE" (few copies), some "Marvel Team Up", Marvel Super Specials like "Jaws 2" "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Xanadu", and some Disney movie adaptions like "the Moon Spinners" and "Emile and the Detectives".
