I want to really get into MvC3. Marvel gets at least 3, 4 years of play overseas, so I have to play it.Toyoizumi: So you’re thinking internationally as well as several years into the future.Umehara: Yeah. It might not catch on in Japan, but my battlefield is in the US, so it wouldn’t make sense not to play what might become the most popular game there. Although I’m sure I won’t be able to win at first.Toyoizumi: Things will get really hype if there’s a Justin vs Daigo MvC3 match.Umehara: Hmm… I wonder though, how long it’ll take to get to his level.Toyoizumi: You might be one step ahead of him in SF4, but is there really that big of a gap when it comes to Marvel?Umehara: Yeah. But now we have XBL/PSN. So even if there aren’t a lot of people playing it here, I think we can create the necessary environment to take on the US. I tried playing online in America before, and the lag is really horrible there. So the top players in the US don’t have a choice but to get together and play in person. So in that respect, I think Japan has an advantage. There may be a large gap now, but I have confidence that we can catch up eventually.Toyoizumi: I had the idea that the internet connection in America was really advanced, but I guess that’s not the case.Umehara: It’s bad at the moment. But even if Japan has good internet connection, it won’t mean much if a proper competetive community isn’t established.Toyoizumi: There aren’t plans for an arcade release of MvC3 in Japan at the moment. There’s no way to know just how well the game will do.Umehara: Maybe there’ll still be people who really get into it. I’m sure there are people who feel that they just can’t win in SF4 if they start now. I want to play against those people, people who drifted from SF4. Their play level might be a little lower at first, but I think they’ll be more than able to create strategies.Toyoizumi: It’s like how Darkstalkers was when it came out.Umehara: Right, right. “I can’t beat people in SFII, so I’ll get good at a different game.” I hope MvC3 will attract those kinds of people. SF4 is definitely my main game, but I’d like to get into MvC3 with the hope that I’ll be able to win in one or two years. Street Fighter X Tekken is still a ways off, and we don’t know if it’ll catch on. So it’s better to learn a game that is sure to be popular. In fact, I’m actually hoping to hold a MvC3 tournament myself.Toyoizumi: There might be other players who decide to devote themselves to it if you show you’re serious.Umehara: Maybe just a very tiny few (laughs). Maybe 30 players?Toyoizumi: No, no. I’m sure there’ll be more. By the way, have you played much of the Versus games in the past?Umehara: No, and that’s why I think I really have to go hard with MvC3. I don’t even know the basic theory. So I’m going to give a lot of thought to it beginning with character selection.Toyoizumi: It seems it’ll be played for a long time in the US, so you probably have a lot of time.Umehara: Yeah, I’m sure it’ll be around for at least 3 years. There are people there who played only MvC2 all this time. They still get like 100 people in MvC2 tournaments.

"Toyoizumi: You got to play some AE. What are your first impressions?Umehara: Impressions… Basically that it’s over for projectile characters (laughs). All the non-projectile characters have gotten buffed, whereas I think Deejay is the only projectile character that has really gotten buffed. Sagat has gotten better, but Ryu, Akuma, Guile, Dhalsim, and I suppose Chun, they’ve all gotten nerfed. And grapplers have also gotten buffed. Projectile characters were strongest in Vanilla, but it’s the other way around now in AE. But I plan to use Yun so it’s not a big deal for me. I guess that’s my impression of AE."
