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

I got to play the demo again today.

I think the game is mostly fine from a playability/game play stand point. The issues I have are easily fixable if Capcom chosen to fix them, there is no egregious fault with the game play like Marvel 3 had with TACs which were just a fundamentally bad idea. Game also does not look as bad in person and the changes they could make would improve the game's aesthetics a lot. Generally speaking I think this game is very open ended and has a high skill ceiling because of it. It's going to take a lot of adjustments that's for sure but no where near the level of Marvel 2 to 3.

Probably going to make a major write up soon, within the next couple of days. It would mostly be in the form of constructive criticism so that if someone at Capcom is listening in they can maybe get something out of it rather than a giant rant about the game on how "ass" it is. These claims of how a game is garbage/ass helps no one if you don't explain why which is one of the failings of the FGC in general IMO. Everything is either "ass" or "hype".

Looking forward to your write up man

i sold my ps4 some time ago so i can't try the demo for myself

Morrigan looks uber sexy in that character portrait screen yet her character select smh...see THIS is what annoys me about Capcom. They clearly have that talent but management is absolute dogs bollocks.

I disagree.
What's the ground magic series in this game? Seems like the one to go with is LP, LK, HP (Universal Launcher)? Maybe add in Standing HK as c.HK knocks down but I guess you can dash up OTG?
 
Definitely lame. At least now we know the pillars, beams, and ice attacks were part of the Reality Storm now.

For sure! I definitely questioned if that was apart of Thanos moveset.

I think I'm about to make a combo video with all the characters. Take note this is my first time... ever, and it might be mediocre.

Yeah, that was all part of the reality gem in MSH. Wonderful callback.

A few of Thanos' moves are from MSH/MvC2 as well. He got a lot of new stuff in this latest appearance.

That rumor from a guy who claims being a former interim of capcom usa sounds full of shit, but at the same time, I couldn't get another explanation on why the game looks like that

KyleP (Spencer/Nova) vs. Clockw0rk (Strider/X).

Bionic Arm definitely still has a bit of invulnerability, goes through X's projectile.

You can parry the Reality Surge energy attack, it bounces for a bit and then starts homing in again, neat.

You can summon a new Reality Surge without the first one hitting, the first one just goes away.

Not sure if this was posted:

Nerdjosh vs Killerkai.

More gameplay (no pros)

You can hear X's theme.
Nova no longer burns red health for Gravimetric Pulse, damn.

Can you still aim Morrigan's missiles? I imagine NerdJosh would have tried but it didn't look like they changed trajectory..

Watching videos of this and then DBZ...gah so hard to be hyped for this. Roster so far isn't doing anything for me either.

I do dig Ultron in action, but this game is a tough sell for me. The bad SF5 launch, the bad vanilla MvC3 launch, and then this game actually launching close to Destiny 2, and then the month after is Evil Within 2. Throw in that I am in love with Tekken 7 for my fighting needs now and that it can probably hold me over until the DBZ fighter next year.

What happened Capcom? This game should've been hype out the brain. *sigh*
 
So none of these have looked like 2/3 rounds like I remember hearing, the damage seems lower too

I like that there is prefight dialogue either between your own team and each teams point characters depending on matchups

You know what bugs me the most?

The hell happened to the communication between fans and Capcom? Feels like Capcom is getting absolutely zero feedback on the game. The only thing they get is from the pros who are Combofiend's friends but these dudes are not going to be looking out for the interests of the casuals.

Viscant is right, stuff like Chun Li's face matters very little to your average pro player but it's a damn near deal breaker for casuals and it reflects poorly on the game when Esports are involved. You put thing he game up in front of thousands on TV and they see those faces, who the hell is going to want to buy that game?

Capcom's tone deaf communication with their fanbase is frightening. That actually scares me the most about the game, that they actually don't even know exactly why people are complaining or why this game has such a toxic word of mouth lately. They didn't have a clue with SFV either and it's being reflected in Marvel Infinite with them shoving that awful story mode down our throats.

I don't want to oversimplify things but I think Capcom knows what it has to do to fix things but it doesn't really care because that requires more development time and resources which requires more money. The big focus on the story mode is just to send the message that they have a story mode at launch.

I don't believe Capcom is so blind they don't see issues like Chun-Li's face as being a problem. It's more that the budget has been set, the release date isn't moving, so they'll do what they can to address these problems over the next three months. Regardless, it's coming out no matter what.

I said this before SFV launched and that is SFxT's failure taught Capcom that what they did wrong was spend too much money.

Finally! Gameplay videos are popping up!

Giga, did you post on Capcom Unity back in the day. I seem to remember that name and a TVC Roll avatar.

That place is...a ghost-town now.

Yep. I posted pretty regularly there, too. I was immersed in MvC3 hype. It was a fun time... until Mega Man wasn't confirmed... and all those Mega Man games got cancelled... and then I left when there was clearly no hope of them coming back. I only came back one time to thank Capcom for allowing Mega Man to be in Smash Bros.

Played a few fights of the VS mode demo at E3 today and I had a good time with it. It does look much better in person in my opinion although I hope you like chromatic aberration because there is plenty of it. I think it would be wise if Capcom released a limited version of this demo so people could really get a better sense of the game.

Was it subbed? I can't see it in the trailer so I presume it wasn't?

Agreed, you can only do so much against Ultron Bots that can't take a hit to save their lives.

Yeah even if its one of those demos you can only play like 5 times before it automatically uninstalls.

Hmm... A little disappointed X doesn't explode when he's KO'd, so I guess he's just that, KO'd. In fact, all KO'd characters just lie there the whole match.
 
Speaking on that .zip leak list... I dont know if its become im extremely tired.... But I notice that all the characters we know to have a premium dlc skin coming has a second zip file... Which it is interesting to see captain marvel also has one.

It's PS4 exclusive for Captain Marvel. You could see it on box art.
 
Capcom needs this man back.

I don't think he liked working there. It was his dream, but I think Capcom USA didn't have as much of a say? Shame because he worked hard for us... And tried to be transparent for capcom.

And to answer Dahbomb's thing about social media, I think Capcom just doesn't want to spend the money anymore (or doesnt have it). To think Capcom was ahead in this area with Capcom Unity, etc, but slowly they have been cutting it out.. After DMC4:SE they released that Capcom Unity guy who did the DMC stuff (and then Kiets going silent)... And Combofiend before with USF4 patch released videos and was more communicative, and we had capcom pro talk which was fun. Now we got nothing :(. I miss Capcom pro talk...

I had a good time on Capcom-Unity as well, though my name was just "James" so there was no way you'd know who I was. I spent a lot of time there with character wishlists and stuff. Big Date Masamune championer.

wtf this game loaded in five seconds.
I mean yeah? So does UMVC3 on PS4. Even UMVC3 on PS3 didn't have long load times in between stuff, was pretty snappy.

This probably looks lightning fast to you coming from SFV with those insane load times LOL!

What seems to be the consensus on the demo?

I thought it was great from a gameplay point of view but I miss the MvC3 art style.

And while I love having a story, it could be presented better.

Also, Chun-Li. Just, no.

I don't really buy that Capcom would compress their characters using a .zip file on their disc. I also don't know how someone would have their hands on a disc atm. I don't buy that leak.

Having said that, Capcom has been known to do strange things in the past...
