I'm all for that. RIP my wallet
Go You! Go You! GnG is one of my favorite franchise, and I'm going to be happy if Firebrand also make it's return as well.

Is there a clip of the JChen rant? I'm too lazy to dig through a two hour stream for it.
So i'lm going to offer you a counter argument
I don't think a lot of the audience cares about ghouls and ghosts and how its important to capcom history.
They wanna play as wesker.

Viewitful Joe! I got you with Vergil and Wesker. but Viewitful Joe?
Yup, hard knockdown sound not fun to me since It could be double edge sword for me.
Yes, unfortunately.
Speculation isn't over tho since we might have more characters than we could have. Also there are also DLC characters that we could speculate. Hastily are you?

I know quite a few people that could play any character as long as they're good, but I feel it's not the majority at all. Very much disagree that Magneto's moveset is what makes him desirable.
Personal attachments to roster/character selection when choosing a fighter is usually what takes it over anything. Magneto is Magneto because he's muthafuck'n Magnus.

People wanna play magneto, Because he mad fucking neato.
A lot of people don't care about like movesets and pedigree's, you can make them care about that. People certainly gave more of a fuck about nova and Rocket after ultimate. But folks are here to use a cool guy, to do a cool thing.
And that's kinda it

What should we use for DT2 subtitle? I think Oh Dear would be a perfect subtitle for MVCI OT. Unless Enzo_GT isn't planned to use it? I will toss him a PM.
I wonder if we are going to see 10-12 characters per year.

Someone already beat you to Chun Li's face thread. Some people just like controversy threads.

Considering reveals are typically at the end of EVO, I'd expect this to be the old build, since it would have to be playable on Friday and Saturday.

Well, you have to keep it in your mind that they might do reveals at D23 instead since it's the Disney event they usually like to announce their Marvel stuffs at.
So far I know they are going to announce new world for Kingdom Heart 3 at there, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are going to announce something for Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite.

Kind of the bottom line here from the casual perspective. They wanna do cool shit with their fav characters. Then they'll pick a character that looks cool or interesting and then try to do cool shit. Then you have the average, joke or weirdo characters who might even be the the best in the game from a mechanics and tools standpoint , but they'll be the last picked if at all. It's like playing a dragon ball game with a character creator all people initially do is make saiyans.
That's the problem when you have companies that span generations, really. Plenty of their properties "deserve" spots for various reasons. There's no objective right choice.
That Combofiend quote really got people thinking deep.
It's real simple guys. It's a crossover game about dream matchups. It's the fucking point. People dream about Batman vs Superman, Bison vs Heihachi, Akuma vs Apocalypse, Dante vs Magneto. Fanservice is the lifeblood of a good crossover.
No one dreams about Calendar Man vs Yondu, or Nova vs Spencer. Combos just talking out of his ass.

Quick reminder that Combo doesn't at all believe what he said and he has to defend all of Marvel's decisions if he doesn't want to sabotage their relationship.

I'm still salty neither Asura nor Gene made it in though.
Yeah not sure what the hate for The capcom USA side is for.

Yeah, at the end of the day, Combo and Mike have to just hold that. I know even they don't agree with most of the stuff they're saying, but that's a spin they gotta adhere to.

Can't be mad at Capcom USA since they basically have no input on the game

I don't think Combofiend would play Shehulk if he just saw her as a function and not a character
Maaaan....this whole situation sucks.
From the stupid Marvel suits and their pettiness, to Capcom being unable to not cause self-inflicting wounds, to the pants on head stupid shilling accusations...
just.... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Can't get over how astoundingly bad this looks all-around.
Legitimately worried about the longevity of the game.

I'm expecting something at D23.

I don't disagree with Sephi about fans wanting to see their dream matches. I know it for myself but I never had a high expectation for the characters I would like to see in the game. That's what we called, "managing to have a low expectation for the roster."
Exactly, and many people doesn't get it. People just jumped into conclusion and trying to pin it on Combofiend and Mike.
You have a great taste. I'm all for a Breath of Fire rep.

Considering he dropped her like a brick after she got nerfed in Ultimate, I think it's the former.

The only thing that should be at D23 is TRON 3

Really? I remember him using her Shehulk/Spencer/Task for as long as he played the game and then him leaving it completely after Capcom picked him up.
He played She Hulk all the way until the end, it was on one of his two main teams.
He played her in top 8 of EVO in the final year he competed in.

You think everyone is just gonna ditch this and go back to UMvC3?
I think if he kept playing the game he would've remained a team Nemo main. Even in 2012 he was in that weird transition phase of being more comfortable with his old team than the new, superior team.
Man losing Combofiend in Marvel 3 was such a loss on the competitive side of things. Among the top players he was the one that was most aggressive aside from PR Balrog. He was a nice antithesis to the defensive ChrisG and FChamp type players out there.
I think the only way people go back to UMVC3 is if that EX mod blows up even more and the game play in Marvel Infinite sucks a ton. Like if the Tag system fails to deliver.
Worst case scenario for MvCI right now is the game comes out in September and is so busted that people are just using the same few tactics over and over again. This would then result in stream monsters rioting because they were told that the game was so creative and open ended. I can already see the memes...
"WOW Marvel + Ultron Reality gem mirror match... SO CREATIVE MUCH OPEN!"

No because this game offers a lot to the competitive base of the series. Pro players will be all up in this game, grinding it out in the lab and trying to win majors for the big e sports money which this game probably will have.

The FGC hasn't gone back to USFIV. And assuming that MvCI joins the CPT & the gameplay holds up like the impressions say, I wouldn't worry about the game's competitive life.

To lighten the mood around here. Imma ask character questions and you guys can pick which one you'd rather.
So if you had the choice to have ONLY one of these characters in the game....
Venom or Carnage

Of course it's Venom, Carnage is a Venom rip off.
*Cue some Carnage fanboy telling me I am wrong and then I tell 'em to back go the 90s when Carnage was relevant*
FGC will go where the money is.
Semi-casuals will go where the online community is.
Casuals will go to the next NRS game.
Assuming we don't all go to DBF
Venom.
Venom. Why would anyone want Carnage? Venom is already too close to "too edgy", Carnage is straight up edge incarnate.

Venom. I hate Carnage, for the most part. His 2016 series was pretty good, though. So was AXIS Carnage
Carnage was never relevant, but I stand by that the idea behind Carnage is super solid. A serial killer with a terrifying symbiote suit. But im biased because I look at the symbiotes for what they could / should be (imagine them in real life, that shit would be fucking horrifying) and not what they are in the comics most time.
There was actually a Carnage solo book recently (last year? 2 years ago) that was quite decent, and it had Carnage basically be Alien (as in, the Alien monster from the movies), skulking around in darkness taking out a bunch of fbi people after him one by one.
