I have to see the button layout now.

It's "PROBABLY" the same as Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, which is 4-button.

But that's really just a guess.

 

[Big0Bear]

I'll be shocked if this game has story mode ready day one. Release date seems really quick since there hasn't been any info for so long. Be interesting to see what other info slips through the cracks

 

[IntelliHeath]

Sorry but what are quarter circles?

Down to Foward input.

 

[Neoxon]

Sorry but what are quarter circles?

Down -> Down-Forward -> Forward

It's the motion you do for Hadouken.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Oh wow okay, and i thought "hey if you can't even finish the missions how could you ever compete against other players". Silly me lol, you almost make me fire up the game again but too bad i don't have SFV and nobody plays SF4 nowadays.

You don't need to do the fanciest of combos to be better than someone. It's no different to football/soccer. I can do sexy skills but you might still outpace me elsewhere where it counts. Still, fancy stuff is nice to have if they can provide it, but at the expensive of what... Let's see.

But they already showed the story mode.

 

[SpaceCadetKeon]

Hyped, but X's lips weird me the fuck out.

 

[PadWarrior]

I wonder if fireball motion is going to be simplified.

I wonder if the fireball will just be a button.

Gave myself an anxiety attack just thinking about that.

Forward and punch for fireball maybe?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Down to Foward input.

Down -> Down-Forward -> Forward

the hadoken/fireball motion

Ah okay, thanks.

[Doctrine Dark]

I have the same concern and with characters like Thor.

Thor might end up being very different in this.

Yeah, I'm already getting a different vibe from Thor.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I have the same concern and with characters like Thor.

Thor might end up being very different in this.

If they could make Thor better than MVC3's Thor then I'm all for it. Also I noticed that he had few new attacks.

 

[Renkax]

So... the game is gonna have a Under night in-birth type of control scheme ? I knew playing akatsuki all this time payed off

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Yipes about talk about the latest news.

 

[HardRojo]

Has to be a different control scheme, not a change across the whole game. It'd be really stupid of them to simplify inputs for everyone.

Yeah i agree with this.

 

[grimmiq]

As someone who has constant input errors and is genuinely terrible at fighting games, this seems stupid to me.

Not all kids can dribble, so let's replace Basketball with Netball.

 

[Negaduck]

I have to see the button layout now.

Here ya go

 

[Fersis]

I wonder if there's a dedicated button to specials.

 

[jack_package_200]

Goddamnit Amazon, update it for me.

 

[Uraizen]

what are those?

Basically mash a single button to do a combo. In Persona it let you do a combo into special then super if you had meter. Thing is, some characters could utilize this for practical or optimal combos. The damage on them wasn't anything worth whining over either. For KoF14 they're a string of hit that can lead into a super if you have meter. The damage on them is poor and nothing to complain about.

My worry is just how dumbed down, or simplified, they want the game to be. After I get over that I find myself asking whether or not the game will be fun despite all of these changes.

 

[MrCarter]

I feel disappointed by MvCi at the moment, everything looks so sub-par compared to the MvC3 reveal which was over 6 YEARS ago. I don't care about the casual modes because people who play them will eventually just drop the game anyway, it's all the long-lasting things such as the animation, control scheme and gameplay depth that matters to me. Here it seems like they are just trying to make a quick buck due to the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

 

[Needlecrash]

Goddamnit Amazon, update it for me.

I'm waiting for Best Buy and Amazon to update the listings. Not gonna lie, I feel worried about the game now.

 

[Killa Sasa]

Hype is going wrong direction but will wait to see if that's hopefully just a simple mode, the game has depth and or is balanced around it, or they get back in and retouch it.

Does make the game go from hype for me, to let's keep an eye on this. Only Capcom or Nintendo could manage these decisions b. But I suppose it's fair to wait for proof.

 

[J-Tier]

Maybe that's why the game isn't a numbered entry.

 

[DaytimeWhiskey]

Why would Ryce mislead us though? He's been on point about everything thus far. I want to believe the DP change is just a "simple" mode as well, but why put the scare into us like that?

I don't want it to be true, but I'm bracing myself for bad news

 

[Zubz]

Is he like gameexplain?

Yipes is a fighting game player famous for his presence in MvC2 tournaments, not just for his skills but his smacktalk. He's apparently known about the game for awhile, based on teases he made prior to release.

 

[Mik317]

Capcom: yall said SFV had nothing for the casuals. so we listened.....

 

[Gorilla Blade]

Eventhubs:

I always laughed at people who said life was hell on Earth. Until now...

What the hell is Gameexplain

 

[Neoxon]

It's official, Trevor Devall is the voice of Rocket Raccoon in MvCI. Straight from the horse's mouth.

 

[MegamanXZero]

Is he like gameexplain?

This ain't a real question.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

smh at capcom


Pandering to casuals and dumbing down gameplay mechanics is the absolute worse thing you can possibly do for a fighting game.

or any game not intended for it really.


It's still a buy for me atm (barely)but damn no DPs is stinger.

Worked wonders for MVC3 tho, which is massively simplified coming from MVC2.

That said, i do think MVC3 was the perfect level of "dumbed down" and do am wary of going even lower.

 

[Philanthr0py]

I can say this right now: DP inputs are gone. Ryu’s Shoryuken is done with a down, down motion.

Even Smash had DP inputs for Ryu. SMASH.

Sales man, sales. If you want to see more fighting games in the future you need those games to be more welcome to new players and casuals so more people buy the game and not just hardcore fighting game fans.

Just take a look at SFV, it sold like shit.

 

[TalentBurke]

Now we miss mvc3 days

Instant gratification is a problem.

I still play UMV3

 

[BBboy20]

No more Right, Down, Lower Right?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Keep in mind UMvC3 didn't do so well mostly due to casuals not rebuying an updated version of the same game. You gotta get their sales with one game this time.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I still play UMV3

Same.

 

[Trey]

If DP's are eliminated, then I see no reason why reverse DP's wouldn't be.

I'm having a real issue imagining how Strider will play. His teleports are reverse DP and Gram is a DP motion. How the hell is he going to retain his moveset with limited motions?

The simple answer is: he won't.

The optimistic answer is a new method of input will replace the old. Other than losing decades of intuitive fighting game controls, he still plays roughly how he used to.

Given the direction of this game up to now, what do you think is more likely?

 

[PSqueak]

Even Smash had DP inputs for Ryu. SMASH.

OPTIONAL DP inputs.

 

[Sayah]

Where's Trish?

Let there be Trish!

An update to the game was fine.

An update 9 months after the release of the original was not.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

True. I forgot how quick that turnaround was. We basically bought a beta.

 

[Karsticles]

True. I forgot how quick that turnout was. We basically bought a beta.

It also harmed the far-reaching potential of many Capcom fighters, pushing people to the "I'll wait until they release the final game" mentality and reducing initial sales.

No other company has poisoned itself more than Capcom.

 

[TRUE ORDER]

And I thought that 3 input was somewhat basic.

Really hoping we get option to change that.

I still play 3 with friends.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

No more Right, Down, Lower Right?

Forward + quarter circle = srk

But people do it differently at times.
