Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 General

"Mid in MvC2 still means he's useless competitively though."

Although mid tier is still good in more casual gaming environments, but when garbage tier is still nearly unusable in a more casual playing environment then we have a problem.

Using MvC2 as a means of determining what characters used to be bad and what characters good isn't exactly the most accurate way to go about it. Aside from that, this game was built from the ground up, so Shuma could very well be top tier for all we know. We can't use previous character apperances to judge how they'd fair against others in newer titles.

Well, it was mostly because there is usually a trend in the character's prowress if there were prequels/previous versions of the same game title.

Example: Always expect small speedy characters to be top tier, big characters to be bad, and weird/unsual characters to not be very high tiered.
