Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Characters and Stages Roster Discussion Thread

Yep but Capcom got Shuma in there...
http://www.denofgeek.com/us/games/marvel-vs-capcom/261165/the-legacy-of-marvel-vs-capcom
...The game also featured Shuma-Gorath, which was outright weird.
Apparently, Capcom really wanted this obscure Dr. Strange villain to appear in the game and Marvel shruggingly let them.

Rational thought? In THIS thread?
True, but Shuma & Sentinel were the only ones Capcom got in, & you could attribute that to Seth Killian's negotiation skills. Now it's clear that Marvel has 100% control over their side.

What are you guys expecting tonight because I think they'll show a trailer introducing some new characters and that's it.
I'm only expecting new characters that'll confirm the Ryce leak, maybe the rumored demo if we're lucky.
2 new characters, 4 old characters all from ryce's leak list. that will put in the next 2 months on schedule for revealing the last chars of that 28 char w/ similar amounts of chars being revealed
increasingly shitty looking gameplay
btw when is morrigans mvc1 theme gonna return? that shit is great

Some new characters and gameplay.
They still have Evo and SDCC (was it?) maybe I'm mistaking the latter, to show the game there.
I'm expecting x/4 new characters and how another gem works.
x = total amount of launch characters
/4 because they need to spread the reveals across E3, Evo, SDCC and Pax Prime.
''We say the DBF gameplay, and have decided to delay the game to a later date. Thank you, and good night!''

This board is a ship. There's another ship across from us that's showing the booty our captain refuses to give to us. Within a few hours, we all may just commit mutiny.

4 new characters, a gem, and a beta announcement is what I think is going down

Yeah they'll either show basically the whole roster or only a few.
Curious if they show only a few though, who they will be. Since after that leak. People will just be checking off the list and crying as more and more show up. If they could do anything to garner back some fan goodwill. They'd need to throw a wrench into the Ryce leak. But I doubt they have anything that could even do that. Since I doubt they can move around DLC and currently finished characters.

It's literally blowing my mind how much it feels like the real evolution of the Marvel vs. Capcom formula.
If they could farm out Marvel 4 to Ark Sys to do all of the art for the game, take notes from DBZ when it comes to game mechanics, and then leave the actual gameplay design and balancing to Capcom itself.... we have the perfect game.
DBZ is already damn close to the perfect game just from watching that gameplay. I mean god damn. I never thought I'd get Marvel 2 vibes like that again.

Arc makes better games than Capcom does on all fronts so nah
#facts
Will this be enough to get Capcom faithful to actually play another game?
My guess is no.

I find the graphics to be the most interesting part of DBZF. Pretty sure this game will have a lower budget than MVCI. Yet look at how they are compared. Really think Capcom and Marvel should've went for a more stylized comic book loook.
If only they did that before and have existing assets to build and improve up.
Oh wait, they did. It's called MvC3/
I for one want this game to fail after seeing that Wright-less Xmen-less roster
SFV actually reviewed well it was the user reviews that were shit. Hopefully the rumoured SSFV will address even more "casual woes".

Yeah I think Marvel themselves asked BP to be dlc. They're always doing movies tie-ins with their mobile games. Why not a console game?
DBF isn't much like Marvel 2 though, I don't know why people keep saying that.
The game is still surprisingly very ground based despite characters having aerial rave combos and such. You don't have crazy flights or air dashes to the ceiling stuff.
It's definitely fast paced and chaotic like a VS game though. The hype factor in that game is through the roof, everything is dialed up to 11. Vegeta does Final Flash, you see an image of the move from space obliterating a part of earth and then you come back to the stage and it's all destroyed.

Ace Attorney's revival has been pretty great with 4 excellent games so far and more to come
even if only the 2 main series games were released outside of Japan

Talking about Ace Attorney, I wonder if that supposed leak is true, the one that talked about Cyclops and a AA rep (don't rememver exactly who was)
I think it had the Max 4 on special bar too.

If you mean fast anime fighting games then yeah.
I mean, someone has to, right?
Which is basically what the VS games are tbh.
Of course there are expectations. A new sequel for the most part is assumed to build on top of the previous iteration. This isn't unique to fighting games.
It's not that DBF came out with no expectations, it came out literally looking like the game people wanted out of Marvel. There is a distinct difference.
Yeah I think people would've cared less if DBF came out looking like a 1v1 GGXrd clone game.
Instead it's a 3v3 VS + GG hybrid game... which is hype as hell. There aren't many games out there like this so DBF is invading on a space of the fighting genre that has essentially been monopolized by the VS space for the last 2 decades.

And add the story mode they hyped up so much. And add back the vanilla arcade endings
if you want the game to fail, what the fuck are you even doing in this thread? Why do you want to discuss a game that you want to fail?
This forum is turning more and more into Gamefaqs I swear.
I can understand your anger about no Wright, but Capcom couldn't do anything about the X-Men thing besides Wali out on the game, which would be a rash decision when there's always DLC.

The blame is on Marvel too, this game is on both of them. If this game fucks up then it's both of them but of course mainly on Capcom as you can still make a good game out of a mediocre roster.
I'm sure the game itself will be fine, I'm just worried about the content outside of Story & Arcade.

Gameplay doesn't seem to take precedence over the roster, though. For me, the gameplay looks quite fun, but the roster and graphics seem to be why people think the game will suck.
Just using salty hyperbole. If this game comes out and managed to be amazing with huge amounts of single player content beyond arcade and story despite the shit roster I'll gladly buy it day 1

For a crossover series that's been going on for almost 20 years, yeah roster and graphics is the biggest thing for this. Roster complaints are getting old though. It happened, it's done. Let's see what that gameplay looks like tonight. That's pretty much the only thing that matters at this point unfortunately.
I dunno, man. I do think that this Dragonball deal is indeed the thing that may finally get the ball rolling and really challenge some of the deeply nested "Capcom above all" notions at large.
As stated before, DBF isn't just another anime fighting game utilizing a niche license or schoolgirls flying around. It's Dragon Ball, a beloved brand by young and old. The very thing that Capcom's Marvel games always drew multiple comparisons to. DBF just decides to make it plain and cut out the middlemen, at the same time. And it's being made by Arc, guys who know their shit when it comes to making great fighters, but never quite could get their foot fully into the door because "reasons". Plus we got Bamco on publishing duties, so that, hopefully, some of the BS that follows Arc when it comes to their self-published games, won't be a factor, here.
Couple that with the likelihood that Infinite will be a good, but fairly divisive game, and I can see the seeds already being planted for more "crises of faith" among the Capcom faithful. And I think that's EXACTLY what Bamco is aiming for.
...All they would need is to offer a fairly appealing TxSF at some point in the near future that somehow caters to Tekken and SF fans well enough, and that would just make Bamco's intentions all the more plain.
Yes it's looks like Mahvel, but why should we congratulate them (even though I'm excited to play this myself) on systems and mechanics that have been created and done in a previous iteration of a MvC game from 6 years ago? And if all these "people" wanted that kind of game they can literally boot up MvC3/MvC2 right now to quench that thirst because let's get one thing straight - no game should ever pander to thier audience but instead think of what they want to create and innovate. Something which MvCi will do with thier gem system.
If it looks the same as it did when they showed it in April, this game is going to have major problems.

DBZ looks like a refinement to the 3 player tag system. Assist cool downs and no free crossup after killing a character / resets to mid screen. Curious to hear more about it.

I really hope that it doesn't bomb but Capcom is making that a little difficult.
They do need to kill it at this point in terms of surprise and reveals
This whole venture feels like...I dunno, that we should be expecting bare minimum, with a limited roster and scaled back expectation.
Currently we're being spoiled by fighters, so that won't fly anymore

Except the mechanic is entirely different now. It isn't remotely the same.
