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

Are we going to assume that all the ASW players loving DBZ are shills, too? The SNK players that love KoF despite its graphics shills, too?

It's fucking ridiculous that the default stance of some people is that people are getting paid rather than they genuinely like the game.

I can't even with this cynicism.
 
That's precisely why, given the newest leak, I think Antman might be DLC and Venom will in fact be on the main roster. Having his own minions makes him too important to even be DLC IMO, and him having a variant would make little sense if he weren't launching until over half a year after the game.

I was thinking the same.

Would Grandmaster even work as a playable character? He has no legs (the giant swing and other moves would cause complications), and he's significantly larger than even the biggest characters in MvC.
You just made me feel bad about not being able to powerbomb a dog anymore.

Yea I'm really skeptical that he is in their DLC plans. DLC on Capcoms side seems like a toss up at this point though, I have no idea who they might have.

He seems to be about 2-3x the height of Hiryu, so he'd be pretty tall, but nothing much more jarring than Juggernaut.

You do know that the initial 6 characters are launch before the year is over. Black Panther is DLC and is getting a variant.
 
Would love for venom to be in the base game, i hope we get venom and antman in the main roster.

You know... It would make a lot of sense if Ant-Man is dlc and thats why the newer leak doesnt have him but the Ryce leaker does. You have to remember we are confined to what was told by Ryce's friend. The man simply heard the name Ant-man.

Jiyuna is almost always hating on anything Capcom does because he's jealous that Xrd is still at the back of the bus as far as popularity.

Paid off. The arcsys fanbase just went through this

Wanna know what's better? All of these "Capcom shills" are overly excited about DBF and posting the same hype tweets about that game as well. For some reason, it isn't an issue because most people feel great about the game--as they should. With the other game, any type of positive reinforcement has to be fake because Capcom is just throwing $$$$ at everyone.

It's overdone at this point.

Yes. Venom is a returning character, meaning he technically can't be in the 2017 DLC. I'm saying for him to have a variant in August 2017 and then not come out until like February of 2018 would be unusual.

Thats very true, but it still doesnt fit with the "All-New" part. Venom is not new, and I honestly would think if he was a different venom, we would have heard the name "anti venom" or etc.

Shit game. Just graphics. Auto combos, easy controls, no dps, low roster (because DBZ).

If you want to watch cinematics all day, I guess it's fine.

I'm hoping that all the new characters off that leaked file folders are in the base game and Sigma and Black Panther are there because they will be in the story mode as npc. But same can be said about the other characters, would definately be more positive if those other characters are playable though.
 
Even if you somewhat not feeling the way Marvel is headed and prefer dbz... You could at least buy it to hold you off on some MVC action until DBZ comes out in 2018... Idk... Guess people arent smart like that lol.

You actually brought up a good point... Whose to say all the characters arent in the base roster and characters like Black Panther sit there for the story mode. Good take bro.

Yeah people are into this whole drama with both games, were going to be playing both by this time next year lol i swear the same people who love mvc talking shit about it are going to kill this franchise and are going to wonder why they don't make anymore a few years later.

You thought 4 females in MvC:I was bad?

Wait till you play the 1 female character this game's ever gonna get.

/s
 
You know they never specifically said what all-new entailed right?
A returning character could be considered all-new to the game.

Well so far the two dlc characters revealed are brand new to MvC, never been in a game before.

I think it's a safe bet to believe it's entirely new characters.
 
I don't think it'd make much sense to headline the character pass with Sigma and Black Panther as 2 of the all-new characters if the whole pass wouldn't be new.

It makes no sense whatsoever.

Could always use more female characters in addition to Chun-Li, Morrigan, Captain Marvel, and Gamora
and Spencer's Wifearm
.

Yea, they also throw in new cosmic characters too. She's usually portrayed as being human sized, and I imagine she'll have a role in Infinity war? Maybe?

Playable death would be so cool

Who is death and what does she do? Is she just a female grim reaper?


Edit: I'd also like to point out that it's entirely possible the unfinished characters that cut got early in development were left in the game's files. Happens all the time like the "Forbidden 7" in Brawl
 
I'm leaning toward Death as just being an npc in the storymode. Death doesn't really act directly and I'm not sure if I recall her ever actually physically fighting anyone or anything.

Now if "Death" referred to Hela, aka the Asgardian god of death who is the villain of Thor Ragnarok and who rumor says might actually end up being the MCU Death equivalent, that'd be way badass.

Who is death and what does she do? Is she just a female grim reaper?

She's the abstract embodiment of death in the marvel universe.

She doesn't really *do* anything. People die because she exists but she doesn't really kill anyone. She mostly is just a motivation for Thanos tbh.
 
hmmm if Ant Man is DLC then...

1. Black Panther (Black Panther 2018)
2. Ant-Man (Ant Man and Wasp 2018)
3. Death (Avengers: Infinity War 2018)



This plus the Spider-man/Deadpool variant....I think it might be....wow. Death might actually be plausible
 
Having Hela as DLC before Loki would be weird as fuck. Almost as weird as Hela being the fifth playable female in MvCI.

hmmm if Ant Man is DLC then...

1. Black Panther (Black Panther 2018)
2. Ant-Man (Ant Man and Wasp 2018)
3. Death (Avengers: Infinity War 2018)

All the dlc will be out this year tho, it wont coincide with the movies if thats what you mean.
 
I think the negativity of MvC:I will dwindle when people get their hands on a versus build of the game in someway. I was pretty down on it, but once I played it in the Story Demo, I was actually really surprised by how fun and open ended it is mechanically. Sitting through the really lame story cinematics was rough, though.

I am obviously hyped for DBFZ as a fan of the series, fighting games, and arcsys games and am way more hyped for it over MvC:I, but I think there is somewhat of a merit to all teh comparisons. It's a game in the same vein and to a lot of the casual audience, presentation is all that's going to matter to them. Now, the game will probably be great from what we've seen, but amazing presentation on top of that goes such a long way to attract someone to a game to begin with. I think MvC:I deserves a chance, but I don't think the game should be as ugly as it is and I wish it wasn't. I'm still going to buy it because I know it's going to be an awesome game mechanically, but I'm not looking forward to have to look at it. I'm just worried the poor presentation is going to hurt it in the long run because people aren't going to be as attracted to it. We have two team fighters with some pretty high pedigree IPs attached to them announced in a somewhat close timeframe.

I think the hardcore comparing and shitting has probably gone too far, but it's reassuring to know that hopefully Capcom will look at this and see how far making a game just look awesome can do for all audiences of the games and will have them try harder in the future, whether it's improving MvC:I visually over time or whatever their next endeavor is.

But yeah, suggesting people are getting paid to say they like MvC:I is ridiculous. If they had enough money to do that, I'm sure the game would be much prettier.

After watching all the videos from E3 I can say that my hype has been restored quite a bit. Graphically it still looks like a turd but the actual gameplay looks fun so I'll be there at launch. Also, if Venom does end up being in the base roster then that's an automatic preorder from me anyway lol.

Ryce hasn't given bad info before so I sadly expect 28 to be launch roster though :/. One can argue about the DP fiasco but as we now see, all other characters DP motions are gone. That guy from Capcom calling it fake news wasn't completely full of shit but was using only the example of Ryu to debunk that leak which was quite disingenuous.

I think it's more likely that people who are fueled by spiting Capcom would shill for this game. I mean, I don't think that's really true but there's definitely a contingent of people who aren't going to pick up MvCI or DBZ who are shitposting just to stick a thumb in Capcom's eye.

Note: I'm more hyped for DBFZ more than MvCI.

reminder that DBFZ is "early 2018" that Could be anything from January to April-May", assuming that its not delayed of course.

Which is why this war/feud/whatever is extra weird for me.

"Fuck Marvel im getting DBZ...in 9 months!"

Thats like going "Fuck Destiny 2 im getting Anthem". I mean, ok, but meanwhile we will be playing this other game and then we'll also get that other game so good for u?

I just think its interesting that if they are DLC, both Panther and Ant-Man have movies about them coming out in 2018. If Marvel has this game as some sort of big advertisement for those two movies, and that DLC is releasing this year, I'm sure they'd have something for Infinity War. Granted I agree it is a bit weird that they wouldn't release those DLC characters in 2018 when the movies actually release but if they're doing it with Panther and Scott, there might be a pattern.
 
So with the right set up and characters... I would assume its now possible to do two LVL 3 supers in one combo. I say that because I been still jamming out this demo and I used arthurs lvl 3 by infinity storm and while it was going, i realized if i had enough bars, I could have did another lvl 3 super by tagging in thor right then.

By the way, for those whose got to play the demos... Is there a character from UMVC3 that you never cared about, but now finding that character enjoyable? I do... Rocket Raccoon.

I really hope that Capcom/Marvel are receptive to all this feedback, it's a real turn off to see your favorite character completely butchered, it's inexcusable. It screams rush-job, these characters are supposed to be valued by Capcom.

The roster is pretty disappointing but that's subject to change.

Though I'd prefer 3v3, the new system is intriguing and I'm excited to give it a go.

Chris Redfield and rocket for sure. Did not like spencer feel in the demo.
