Damn, didn't know that!
Wish it would happen on one hand, but on the other hand, after Capcom's last fighting games... Isn't the director of TvC working at SNK now too?

The fact that Injustice 2 & Tekken 7 look the way they did and DBFZ was announced and shown made MVC:I look bad.

Sadly, it lessened my excitement for the game and my gaming budget is lower these days so yeah, MvCI didnt make the cut, maybe in a few months.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Your memory must be a little hazy, let me remind you:
UMvC3 releasing 9 months after MvC3 got huge backlash.
SFxT was universally reviled for its on disc DLC, pay to win gems, and terrible game balance.
SFV was massacred at launch and never really recovered from the initial damage.
Edit: whoops misread your post. My bad
That's true but FUCK functions and all that other shit, just get in the best characters.
Yeah I don't fuck with that at all. How can you not like X & Zero, shit is beyond my comprehension.

Deadpool would have helped

Surely Classic Mega Man is more recognizable than X, Zero, and probably any other Capcom character with the possible exception of Ryu and Chun-Li. If they just want to put their most iconic feet forward, why doesn't he get a slot?

More people remember Nemesis as that zombie from RE than Amaterasu and Viewtiful Joe. Firebrand I will agree should have been replaced by someone else.

Vergil, the best and most popular character Capcom has made since 2005 was left out. WHAT A FUCKING SHAME. Whoever ok'ed that deserves to be fired.

They need to sell some reused assets as DLC after all. And they probably honestly are just trying to figure out how to butcher his look.

Who are these potential customers? This game was always gonna sell like this, especially with little to no marketing. I hated the past titles but I love this one, do I count?
There's a whole lot of factors that go into these sales. (Bad) timing, stacked year full of games, marketing, competition, etc. I'm not making excuses for this game but to blame it on "presentation" is weak af.
Tekken usually sells a shit ton and this last one didn't so apparently that tells me that the climate in which this genre sits is changing.
As good as games like GGrev2 is, what is it's reason for not selling like injustice? It ain't presentation! It's not no story mode or bad net code.. damn sure ain't gameplay. So what is it?
Before the enclosed sales it was a Disney game, after its Cacpcom 😂
I'm sorry, but when it comes to fighters I get a lil nuts. Forgive me

I wonder if there's a possibility of us getting Nero instead of Vergil...
probably not
A lot of people obviously. Presentation is probably one of the big reasons MK9 & X and Injustice 2 did so well.
MvC:I just looks laughably bad in comparison. That isn't to say it's a bad game, but if I was a more casual gamer who knew nothing about the series and saw this for example:
I wouldn't even give the game a second thought.

Why on earth is Capcom so bad at something they should be so GOOD at? It's almost always self-sabotage.

I don't regret buying Ultra Street Fighter 2 at all. My brothers always ask to play it when they come over.
I might buy Marvel vs Capcom on Steam but it's getting tempting to wait for a sale now that I hear it's bombing... Plus I'm not crazy about the art style. What is the general GAF concensus about the game play?

Exclusivity aside, there's no issue. Out of all three platform holders, Nintendo are the most likely to deliver a quality Street Fighter game due to their arcadey pedigree and internal (or closely related) talent. At least two of their lead staff (Sakurai, Yabuki) played the older SFs extensively and eventually created their own quality competitive fighters. Some people just have this weird notion of fighting games not being a good fit for Nintendo hardware despite Street Fighter hitting its apex in popularity on the SNES and Smash Bros' recent success. You could even include Pokken and ARMS in there as both have sold over a million on a single platform, which is fairly rare for a Japanese fighter in the past few years.
Online is the only real concern with Nintendo, but ARMS reportedly has very good netcode, so a hypothetical mainline SF would probably get the same treatment.
Having said that, I would rather have Street Fighter not be tied to any platform in particular.

General consensus on the gameplay is that it's great fun but the presentation of the single player and UI sucks. It's a great game but they really shouldn't have released that Story Demo since it was such a poor representation of the final product.

They aren't talking about the gameplay cause it's dope. Even with the weak roster it's fun as hell. I don't even think it's weak anymore. Just have to play it.

It's really nobody's fault but Capcpom's.
I still am interested in the game and all, especially after watching all the craziness at SCR last night, but boy is the game rife with disappointing qualities.

USF2 was and is an easy target even for people who don't buy or play fighting games, though. Most of the people complaining about MvCI are fighting game fans, whereas anyone could point and laugh at that $40 pricetag

That's not even the real character select screen.
And since when has anyone even given a shit about the character select screen in a fighting game. This is the bitch eating crackers meme going super saiyan.

Yup.
Though there's quite a few reasons I skipped Infinite, one of the biggest was how fucked over I felt with Marvel 3 and the insane turn around for Ultimate. People don't forget the past.

because it's an extreme example. even the main menu in MVCI doesn't look nearly as bad.

Did the game have presentation issues? I always thought that the game would suffer due to Capcom's past actions. Marvel restricting their character side didn't help as much.

People forget a lot of things but Capcom is something no one forgets.
At first glance it visually looks bland. No style. No character. Things get a little better in motion but the game does not make a good first impression.

IMO, the roster's selection should be part of the presentation. If you judged MVCI's roster alone without perspective of previous titles, it's fine. It's not amazing but it's diverse and an okay mix of 30 characters. But compared to the likes of UMVC3, MVC2 or even MVC1 is where the sting sets in.
E3 is where the presentation issues really began to hit hard. To summarize, MVCI focused so much on the story mode between marketing, demos, trailers, and ended up being one of the weakest aspects of the final game.

I have high standards for character select screens you see
I watched your story mode playthrough Max and you just sounded like you wanted to get it over with and just go back to playing VS mode.
It was so mediocre that it did turn me off from it.

Didn't even know the game was out yet lol
Wolverine and Magneta could have been in this game, it would have not have heelped
Are you guys being willfully ignorant or something? I went and looked up streams just to see what the actual character select screen looked liked and it is just as bad. And while character select screens are not the end all be all when it comes to good presentation, any fighter with effort put into its presentation will NEVER skimp on the character select. Especially a Capcom Fighter at that!

It could have been worse, but I can't give it anything more than a 6/10 personal score. It's a functional story mode at best.
Sadly, MVCI won't be remembered as one of the best Capcom fighting games to play since CVS2, along with the most robust and well crafted online experiences in a Capcom fighting game ever. It will be remembered for the memes, unless they drastically turn something around graphically/roster wise and turn it into a platform. Hell, it worked for FFXIV.

Totally agree.
I wouldn't be shocked if stores have it half price before Black Friday.
Do you think we will receive any story mode update patches in the future?

How did you get venom already and wh... oh that's not a real screen shot? 😂
Listen here. You can have and keep MK and injustice, I'll stick to mvc and sfv. Can't stand that janky stick fighter juggling trash. My only fear is other companies will try and make fighters to be like those games.
Laughably bad? What the character select screen?? Lol
That is very ironic considering injustices gameplay is laughable.
