  There&apos;s a clip I can&apos;t find anymore regarding Wolverine&apos;s Swiss Cheese. In the runup to UMvC3&apos;s release, there was footage available and interviews with Seth Killian. There&apos;s footage of someone from say GameStop or IGN really excited asking about Wolverine&apos;s new move. Keep in mind, Wolverine was a pretty prominent character in vanilla.<br><br>Seth Killian probably knows this move is pure dog already and has the most honest nervous laugh upon hearing the question because he now has to answer it in a way where it should be exciting to hear Wolverine has a new move.<br><br>If someone can find that clip and link it here, I&apos;d be eternally grateful. It&apos;s just too funny.

  &quot;In the back of your mind you&apos;re always thinking: I don&apos;t wanna get swiss cheese.&quot;

  Ruby&apos;s coin flip super could have been cool if a bad guess just did less damage and let you keep going instead of ending the sequence immediately.

  I refuse to believe someone at Capcom &quot;tried their best to make every move useful in some way&quot; when designing Tundra Storm.<br>The move is so trash that it barely impacts the Gief vs. Elena match- up, despite the fact that all of Elena&apos;s normals and specials are kicks.

  I could see that Ruby Heart super being a &quot;casual fun&quot; kind of super... if it actually did more damage when you got it right. Like, getting all 6 swords 100-0ing a character kind of damage. It&apos;s a 1/64 chance, and sure it would be stupid if someone won a tournament with it, but I don&apos;t think anyone who is seriously trying to win would attempt it. Let the effect match the hype, dammit!

  I love that the two appearances of HNK in this Strongest/Useless series have been the two simplest moves possible: &quot;the DP that kills you&quot; and &quot;the throw that doesn&apos;t throw&quot;<br>Edit: my B I forgot about the shotgun :/

  The worthless moves are the ones I choose and the good ones are the ones my opponent chooses. <br><br>Yes this is cope.

  Jubei in Samurai Shodown is sadly also plagued by a Swiss Cheese. Same input and everything. And when you use it, it&apos;s pretty much guaranteed that unless the other person just wasn&apos;t looking at the screen, you&apos;re getting owned.

  So the thing about the ruby heart super is its an homage to the takara tomy kids toy pop up pirate 黒ひげ危機一発 which is a guessing game where you take turns puting swords in a barrel and the loser is the one who triggers the pirate. Like a jenga/dont wake daddy mashup
