BradyGames are producing the MvC3 strategy guide, which is good news imo - brady made the wonderful SF2Anniversary Edition and SFAlpha Anthology guides, both of which are consider very good quality.
The MvC3 guide is said to include frame data as well :)
Preorders are available at http://www.fishpond.co.nz/product_info.php?id=9780744012873 for $35 incl shipping. Probably pretty good value imo.
Im intrigued. I might have to invest in one of these.
Oh right, there is a bit more info here
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/jan/23/bradygames-marvel-vs-capcom-3-guide-has-frame-data/
Also, it should be noted that the amazing quality of the two guides I mentioned was because they were released years after the original game releases, thus giving plenty of time to find the best strats and whatnot. Which obviously MvC3 won't have had.
I doubt i would be using it for the strategy. Frame data might be kinda useful. Im just so hype for marvel that i kinda want as much stuff to do with it as i can get my hands on.
Good buy for someone new to the series and wanting to learn up quick you think, Alan?
Can't hurt, lol :)
But yeah, I imagine it will be a good thing on at least showing you how to approach the game, even if the strats and combos become outdated fairly quickly...
Yer i heard they made a shit as sc4 one that sounded really really badd.
But it's pretty obvious that this will definitely give you a headstart on people without it. There's not gonna be any challenges or tutorials in this game either ay.
I just might invest in one of these as I was pretty terrible at MvC2. Also fishpond keeps changing the price, its $42.99 now.
I need my pay cheque!!!
Mightyape has it for like $35 incl shipping.
yus i preorded from ma today
Seth gives props to it in his interview with neo empire:

Definitely gonna pick up a copy. :D
I'll be sure to download the PDF in a few weeks and print it out at work :P
It's only $35. If you aren't going to buy it, at least have the decency to print out other sources of info :P
Actually I probably won't even bother getting it all. I don't really read/use strategy guides and I'm sure the frame data will be everywhere in a couple of months and thats all I really want.

MVC3 Strategy Guide Preview Link (http://www.capcom-unity.com/s-kill/blog/2011/02/10/marvel_vs_capcom_3_strategy_guide_preview!)
MightyApes shipment hasn't arrived yet but is due early next week for those who pre ordered.
Ahhhh I was wondering about that. Cheers Flash.
What the gayness I thought they were gonna be out like, today.
The Wolvie stats seem to be a bit disproportionate compared to Ryu. :-\
Anyone else get their copy in the mail today?
I just got mine and the internet reviews didn't exaggerate calling it amazing. This is my first strategy guide I bought and I can say I think it was definitely worth it.
Its just so detailed.
Stilllllll waiting. Courier picked it up at 6am, haven't seen it and its now 12 hours later.
yea received mine at 6am this morning it's pretty beast still havn't looked through it properly just flicked through it and looked at the pics.
yeah man , greatest guide ever .
days worth of interesting shit to read , tbh it would be a cunt to read this online , just too many pages and fuck waiting for pdf pages to load lol
Still waiting for mine. Should be early next week. I just want it to know what moves people have. I hate pressing pause for that.

Same here. I fucking hate going into move list. I'm just gonna wait for my strat guide. Which isn't coming for ages.
SOmeone bring it to ranbats. I wanna see what's it like.
I've got my own little strat guide too. Wonder if this one is as helpful and practical for winning.

Edit: Shot Mason lol. What a fucking mish to get a pic on here. Almost as tough as getting this limited edition strat guide.
lol weazzy pic's not showing up. You linked it from your gmail account...
Upload it to photobucket.com or a site like it.
Or you could just attach it to your post _b
Processed AGAIN by a courier early this morning. Still reckon it shouldve turned up by now. Fucking GAAAARRRRRRR.
The game's manual doesn't show all moves, is this to encourage you to buy the Strat Guide?
This guide is awesome!!

I think there is simply not enough room for alot of the cast. The Guide is epic waaaaaay more than just a move list.
Ok, totally didn't see this thread earlier - my bad :/
Looking to do an order from Amazon to get my hands on one of these - So far, Geneterror, Rorooze and Pino have also expressed interest.
Getting 4 copies here within 2-4 days (super express shipping) is $35 bucks NZ each - the same price as MightyApe :D
If everyone is happy with that price, let me know and I'll order it tonight - if anyone else is keen to jump in, let me know before 8pm tonight - that's the deadline!
With that price, I'm confirming now!
Sweet $35 is fine.
Yeah bro I'm good with that. Just hold onto mine until First Blood, like I said I'm in no rush.
Hope that amazon has enough copies, they pretty much ran dry due to underestimating demand.
Oh man oh man oh man. Should I. Or should I not. I get like 35$ a week so this is a big risk. Lemme think about it. I will tell you before 8 bro.
I been reading it online and it's pretty damned good. But the quailty is kaka, and i gots bad vision.
I'm keen Eru, especially for $35.00. Pls add me to the list for order.
Just let me know how you want the cash and where to collect from and I'll be there with bells (and definitely cash).
Add me to the list also please.
Ok guys, guides have been ordered.
Just to confirm - 6 copies are on the way for: Geneterror, Rorooze, Pinolicious, Hydro, CaptainHook and myself
The final total came to $31.83 each - I'll forward on payment details via PM, or let me know if you'd rather pay cash when they arrive. I'll definitely be at First Blood, otherwise I'll organize getting you guys your copies when they're in my hands.
Thanks guys :D
Got mine today. Ended up paying $26 for it. It's way bigger than I thought lol. Mean as tho.

Yeah - I saw one in a video on Eventhubs and was like "holy shit - gotta have that" - it looks like a fucking Uni book - keen as
We'd you get it from Julz?
Fuck. I bought a sesh instead and fell asleep for that other order. LOL. fail :(
Mighty Ape. But got it slightly cheaper cos I'm the man.
Fuck i'm way more swagged out than you. I should get for free! Awesome.
The guide is awesome. Even if its only for the frame data its still good. A lot of the stuff is out on the net now and new things are already being discovered but damn this guide is worth it.

Hey Electric, you got a track & trace number for this? So I can be one of those guys that get's all excited seeing the order jump from place to place, so baller!
Not yet, the current status of the order is "Shipping soon; This portion of your order is being prepared for shipment and cannot be canceled or changed."
Estimated to be shipping today, arriving between the 2nd-4th of March - those will be American dates as well, so at the latest this Saturday - if not, first thing Monday.
I'm actually really keen to get my hands on this guide... I love nerding out on this sort of stuff
Sweet mine says it shipped today.
Electric, track and trace tells me they've arrived in Auckland, PM me as to how I can come over and pick mine up as soon as they're delivered!
Got mine today. Really huge. Great now something to read while the TV is on! ;D

Really good guide, right ?
Speaking of which, the group order I did came in yesterday - I've given Pino his copy this morning (nice to meet you bro) and I have one more copy with me today while I'm at work - anyone in the city who wants to claim it ? Hook, Geneterror, Rorooze ?
After I drop the missus off at the airport tomorrow I can do some delivery rounds - so hit me up and we'll sort something out (Y)
I'm in Penrose for work but will be heading into town on my way home. Not too fussed if I have to wait till next week since I probably won't get chance to play this weekend.
Yeah I'm all good just bring it to First Blood please.
I dont' mind, i'm in town and about to goto scribble's place but i'll be away this weekend too so no rush for me.
i think the only bad thing about the guide is man face jill.

Agreed. They really didn't want people to win with her, it seems.
Which shops in auckland would sell the strat guide? i dont really know auckland that well
I don't think there's any stores that sell this off the shelf, the majority (if not all of us) had to order online.
