Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite announced (PC/XB1/PS4, 2017) [Update: Info In OP]

Captain Marvel
Captain America

Captain Commando
Captain ???

Who else does Capcom have to even this out

Captain Ruby Heart

latest
 
Am I remember incorrectly, or was that also because they were leaking characters faster than a sinking canoe?
Prior to the whole roster getting leaked a couple of months before release, the only real leaks were when Marvel accidentally uploaded press materials of Thor and Amaterasu a day before their intended reveals and when Capcom accidentally uploaded an office photo without realizing that a still of Haggar's victory pose was in the background.

Something I find pretty nuts: unless the rumored Smash Bros Switch version turns out to be some dinky straight port, we could have a Smash and Marvel hype cycle going on at the same time, holy shit.

2017 might be going to be one of most exciting ride for me in term of fighting games. There is a rumor that we might get Smash for Nintendo Switch, and we might get brand new contents there as well, and it also rumored to be released in 2017 as well. Same for MVC4 and it's release date as well. Two of my favorite franchises are getting brand new games in 2017, along with Street Fighter getting new characters for Season 2.

MVC:I got confirmed and big if Smash for Switch got confirmed next month, then we are going to riding on two biggest hype train at once. SmashGAF vs. MarvalGAF. :x

Can we leave Iron Fist out? He seemed like such a filler addition.

What? maybe Im really biased because he is my favourite Marvel character, but his gameplay felt unique not being good in the air while dominating the ground, had a decent assist and his stances looked beautiful from a viewer standpoint.

Also, they have the model and movements done from MvC3 and there is a netflix series coming, so I dont see him being left out.

Great to see there are more people who want Danny. I hope they give him a Immortal Iron Fist costume instead of the netflix or The Living Weapon one (hate that story). The original is fine too with the high collar and open shirt.

I know :(

Maybe he'll be bottom tier again at least.

Yeah thats true, either they buff him a lot or he is going to have trouble getting in without an assist,

I'd love to see Iron Fist again, he wasn't really given a fair shot in UMVC3 because he wasn't given much to do in the air. Maybe giving him a hadoken-like chi blast could help him too. Or Chi-healing

but maybe someone like Shang-Chi should have a shot

Just realized they shuffled the Infinity Gem colors again.
They're likely going with the MCU colors for the Infinity Stones. The Time Stone is green (as it was in Doctor Strange) & the Power Stone is purple (as it was in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1).

Fun Fact: The Power Stone was supposed to be red in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, but it was changed when Thor: The Dark World ultimately made the Reality Stone's color red.
 
I hope the match the excellent soundtrack quality of MVC3. It was EXCELLENT.

I talked about this in the UMVC3 thread earlier, but one obscure feature in UMVC3 that goes unnoticed that I've always appreciated is the option to switch between character specific themes or general stage BGMs.

If you switch the BGM option to Dynamic, every stage gets their own specific music track, kinda like in MVC2. For example, this plays on the Daily Bugle no matter who you fight against.

SFIV had that too. It's just SFV that doesn't have it for some reason. The character themes are always more hype than the stage BGM for me so it sucks they didn't give us that option..

I wonder why they changed the colors around? Maybe a miscommunication thing?

People acting like they wouldn't play X-Men VS Groening

Game looks even better than yesterday. We ain't seen shit yet, especially with only 2 grooves shown thus far, and just now confirming there's normal-cancelling airdashes. We have a long way to go. Also, [I]the game only got announced yesterday.[/I]

Also in case people were wondering the best MvC song is Ruby Heart's Airship Stage. MvC2 music isn't normally as hot to me as the rest of the series's, but that song is audio 100 emoji.

Not cool. Iron Fist is my bro and the fact that you can tag combo alone means he just rose TREMENDOUSLY in value for teams with his damage and resets. Hell if he also gained an airdash then he is gonna be just fine. He had mad crossups with that tool in HH mode when tested. No clue if wavedashing is in but if its not then the changes to his air would be even more likely.

Anyhow, just my two cents. Tag combos with Fist is fucking great IMO. Iron Fist is one I hope STAYS in and who gets adapted to fit this game more.

Account finally verified just in time for MAHVEL baby!

The graphics are a bit rough around the edges and the animations are reused but that's nothing that can't be changed, I'm so glad we are getting a new gen marvel games.

The characters I REALLY want to see are Gene from God Hand and some reps from Rival Schools since I don't think Deadpool will be in being Fox and all.

thats the first thing I thought of, but if your point character gets killed, and you are left with Iron Fist against a zoner like Morrigan, you are going to have a bad time without assists or tag ins. I doubt they give him an air dash, but maybe there is some way to explain it lore wise? He would be really good with an air dash and recapture combos.

Okay it's really starting to sink in how we are once again in for months of character speculation and reveals.

It's good to be back, guys

Yeah, it's gonna be great. I need Captain Commando, Black Panther, Luke Cage and Wolverine in this game.

Shang-Chi beat his ass until he figured out how to do it

Looks like they are going with the MCU colors of choice.

Well, that solves that mystery.

Anyone want to speculate on what the other gems do?

Space = teleportation or limited intangibility/invincibility
Mind = HC gauge refill
Soul = life drain or projectile absorb
Reality = scramble opponent's controls

haha, maybe Luke pops out every time you air dash and just throws him to fist things haha. Or maybe Strange or Prince of Orphans could have teached him.

Truth is back in Immortal Iron Fist run he started learning new tricks constantly after finding the old iron fist's book, so what the hell, we want an air dash.

We should start by looking at what they did in MSH, its going to be something similar probably

In order to win a gem from the opponent, a player must hit him/her with special move or a super move in succession.

Power
Gives the character increased attack strength. Special users are Spider-Man (creates a mirror image of himself on the opposite side of the opponent), Captain America (creates multiple hits from his special moves that were later turned into Hyper Combos in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter), Wolverine (creates blurred shadow images that resembles his Berserker Charge to follow him and multiply his hits), and Psylocke (creates a clone similar to Ninjutsu back in X-Men: Childern of the Atom in front and behind her. The duplicates can deal damage but are invulnerable).

Time
Speeds up the character's movements. Special users are Hulk (allows him to hit twice on his strongest attacks) and Shuma-Gorath (normal attacks turn opponents into stone).

Space
Gives the character increased defense. Special users are Juggernaut (makes him immune to all attacks, similar to how he was in X-Men: Children of the Atom) and Magneto (gives him his magnetic shield, making him immune to all attacks, again similar to his boss version's move in X-Men: Children of the Atom). But this gem depletes fast on special users when your opponent attacks the special defense.

Reality
Causes elemental attacks such as fireballs(light punch to shoot high and light kick to shoot low), icicles (medium punch to rain down from the upper level of body and medium kick to rise up from the ground), lightning balls(heavy punch to shoot 4 shots in 4 directions and heavy kick to shoot 3 shots with homing capabilities) and even a Halloween pumpkin (Start button to throw in a concave arch) (can hit 3 times to stun opponent) to accompany the character's regular attacks. Special user is Blackheart (turns invisible, in addition to the gem's normal effects).

Soul
Causes the character to regenerate health. Special user is Iron Man (adds extra electric damage to his normal attacks that can drain the energy from the super attack gauge).

Mind
Causes the character to regenerate their super attack gauge.

Yes please... Ball buster Super would probably bee to M rated for Marvel but would be funny...

I've said this before, but Gene should have only one Hyper Combo and that would be the God Reel.

Complete with Grovel.

Yeah, I was thinking along those lines but I never liked MSH's implementation of the Reality Gem, personally.
 
Let's hope zoning and keep away is still possible

Not trying to attack you or anything, but why do people like this?

Sometimes I feel like people that want to play lame just get a kick out of annoying others.

I'm legit asking, before people load the shotguns.

Gene needs to have NO special moves, all of his special attacks are normals, but builds meter like CRAZY, and have 6-7 Lv. 1 hypers.
