I'm a fighting game player but new to UMVC3 and this guide is brilliant to find out what the hell is going on in this game. It's a big hulking, lovingly presented full colour book. It explains everything about the game engine and every character, from the basics to very advanced stuff. I was worried it was going to be written by noobs for noobs but it's full of really solid information by people who clearly know the game.
I'm not the kind of person to read guide books, but this one (and the first
one for vanilla MVC3) are so filled with data that no matter what level you are,
you will find alot of things crucial. It has all the costumes if you like seeing
that as well as all the moves and professionally written writeups and combos for
every character in the game.
For tournament players, it has the very important frame data on every move which
can be found nowhere else. This data is essential when trying to calculate what
special combos you could make or what you can use to punish
opponent's mistakes.
I definitely recommend it!
