I've noticed a lot of "9th Lord"s aren't that great… All the ones I've fought have been ho-hum. Faced a 7th Lord that was pretty decent.
Also, maybe I'm just being petty, but I am absolutely loving how this game is just making uptight MVC2 tourneyfags just rage. Especially the Special button. Also, it's endlessly amusing watching some people attempt to do the infinites from MVC2, then eating a combo to the face because that shit don't fly anymore.
You want an infinite? Go into X-Factor. Please. Waste it nice and early.
After playing with Hulk for awhile, I've noticed that he's really, REALLY good against aggressive characters, like Felicia or Wolverine. He's got high-priority normals with super armor that just eat their attacks, and force them to eat a big damage combo. But on the other hand, he blows monkey nuts against most other big damage characters. Sentinel just eats his green ass alive, Tron can fuck with him all day long, etc. etc.
But if you're fighting someone online with an in-your-face character that's giving you tons of trouble, go with the Hulk.
EDIT: HOLY SHIT MAGNETO QUOTES ONSLAUGHT
