Nah, because saying UMvC3 has a low skill ceiling is just crazytalk. Sure, there's a bunch of easymode characters (like four or five), but several characters need either lots of good reads to make work or pinpoint precision with their moves. Trust me, taking advantage of Mad Beast in a real match is the furthest from easy you can get. It's pretty much like playing on turbo mode with maximum frameskip.
I don't think that's what it means to have a high skill ceiling. None of those things are really hard to do on a technical level, they aren't even practical. Getting good reads on opponents are more of an experience sort of thing. There's a difference between having room for creativity and a high skill ceiling. SF4 is really simple, but it takes a lot of practice to master one character. Marvel 3 is really simple, if you have a general idea of what you want to do, you can pick the game up and do them.
