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.

the only thing dumbed down about MVC3 was the universal launcher and tag aerial combos even then the game had a ton of depth for advanced players.

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

Story, VS mode and arcade mode at launch would helped immensely.

Mortal Kombat sells like crazy because it includes all of that and extra casual modes.

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?

No. Nooooo....

Not like this.

Spoiler

The simple answer seems like the accurate outcome.

Down Down sounds harder to do. Stop appealing to the tournament scene Capcom!

Holy crap how much is the collector's edition!?c

 

[TRUE ORDER]

Down, down?
You have to be kidding me lol

Just read that :/

Holy crap how much is the collector's edition!?c

Just a mere 200 dollars...

I agree. It's not difficult, but it's such an awkward input, and the character looks like an idiot crouching twice.

And this is exactly what im talking about, that's what gave the game a huge boost, and im saying this as someone who greatly benefited from those dumbed down mechanics.

I agree. It's not difficult, but it's such an awkward input, and the character looks like an idiot crouching twice.

Not a She-Hulk player, eh?

But they already showed the story mode.

Sfv had a beta and they couldn't even get the online right at launch. I'm not holding my breath on anything

 

[christiankid7]

Down down sounds slower too.

Would that mean superjumps are gone? Probably wouldn't really affect it as much as I'm thinking but

Super jumps are down-up.

[Boke1879]

Real talk yall. I think this game is going to be a hit.

Probably sell a bit more than 3, but I think it releases at a decent time and I'm seeing a lot of postive reaction to this.

I know you can't say anything else....but is this DP removal only the least of our worries...based on what you know?

Ryce, can you tell us if this will definitely be the only way to do the moves?

Sorry if this has been asked in another post.

There are two or three other gameplay changes I know of that will probably be met unfavorably by this community. I'm not sure which change is the worst, though.

 

[nded]

Not nearly as hype as the MvC3 trailers, but these look like cutscenes made to match in-game assets so that's understandable. Waiting on some gameplay footage.

Welp, wait and see how things unfold then.

Not good.

I know you've remained neutral about everything, but as a fan, how do you feel about all of these changes? Do you think it'll hurt MVC in the long-run?

Looking through the Facebook & YouTube comments, one of the more common responses I'm seeing are "No X-Men, No Buy".

Take a hint, Marvel.

Limited Assists?

No Time Limit?

Hard Damage Caps?

 

[LightofRohan]

So the six DLC characters are the Xmen, since legally they cannot put them in the main game?

They don't need to take a hint since those people will be buying it anyways.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

The DLC characters are all said to be brand new.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

You needed to DP on reaction as an anti air every so never in marvel 3 so that change doesn't actually matter.

 

[Skab]

There are no assists.

This is just plain not true.

How does this make sense?

 

[J-Tier]

I don't think it's a legal thing. I do think it's an easy way to allocate the funds though, so that the appropriate parties gets their cuts. Not all 6 will be Fox characters, but I'm sure a percentage are.

Edit: I guess that's not the case. Thanks Neoxon.

 

[Dmax3901]

Disney Infinity..... War.

According to SneakersSO (who I believe has insider intel), there won't be any Fox characters in the 2017 Character Pass (I.E. the first 6 DLC characters). But according to Ryce, the Fox characters will be DLC at some point.

I'm glad that people are speaking up their minds on social media or websites.

I was talking recently with my brother (who isn't an X-Men fan like me) and said "I like a roster with diversity, not just X-Men". I really don't want only those characters, but not allowing at least 1 or 2 reps in Infinite is a slap on the face to some of us.

They are the ones who started the series with CoTA or XvSF... sigh.

 

[Neoxon]

Ask & you shall receive.

Well shit, hype.

I'd imagine that 3 of those 6 DLC characters may be Fox characters.

None of them are.

 

[Weiss]

Every new piece of information makes me less excited than the last.

 

[Negaduck]

Well, have the people that have gotten to play it so far had fun?

Is the game fun to play, that can override any control scheme or new mechanics.


As long as it's fun to play I don't care.

Ahhh, got it. Thanks. But yea, I heard that they have to make them DLC due to crazy licensing stuff. My friend worked with Marvel licensing before, you guys would be stunned how insanely specific the crap is. Like, "You can use this char, but he cant show his face or his boots" haha. So weird dlc deals makes sense.

If its not the xmen up front though, then 6 dlc right out of the gate is weird...

That's how I'm feeling at this point. I just want to have a fun game.

Just give it to us raw so we can get it out of our system.

I'm on the same boat.

I'll just try to not be pessimistic and wait how things happens and which new characters to the series are added.

 

[ZReport]

Combofiend, you were the chosen one. Q_Q

 

[Karsticles]

Mr. Capcom, can I just have Capcom All-Stars instead?

 

[StoopKid]

Lol don't fall for this.

It's just like when marvel stopped putting xmen characters in the avenger and Spider-Man cartoons.

 

[Zubz]

My guess is that it's Wolverine, Deadpool, & Doom alongside Sigma & 2 other Capcom reps (I'm thinking 1's Akuma) for this Season Pass, but there'll be more, & the Marvel side will be nothing but X-Men & F4 characters for each.

 

[Hag]

Ryce with more ammo I see

 

[Trey]

Every new piece of information makes me less excited than the last.

No information about this game was as big a blow to me as finding out there were no assists, so I haven't been too enthused from the beginning. But this new stuff isn't exactly getting me hype, either.

I'm still giving it a chance to impress me.

Look at the previous page, SneakersSO is saying that there won't be any Fox characters in the 2017 Character Pass.
