I do want to hear about the modes in the game. I feel like Capcom is promoting this game in all the wrong ways. Where are the streams showing stuff? Since this game was announced it has been info dump, go dark, info dump, go dark. They don't have a real ad campaign so they gotta find ways to keep this game in the news cycle in a positive way.

I saw the Morrigan video - thanks for thinking of me Heath.
There are still 3 unexplored aspects to the move:
1) At least one person says you can choose the angle it fires at - we haven't seen this.
2) You can negative edge the move to hold it longer before firing.
3) No one knows what the debuff does.
It'll all get changed in patches this time.

It has Doctor Light and Iron Man and you unlock things, that's all we know so far

I was going to say the colours look less washed out and more contrasty, for want of a better word in his footage.
Uncanny Avengers & Uncanny Inhumans are a thing (though the former is an Avengers/X-Men unity team).
"We got story mode, guaranteed MKX numbers. What more do we need to say?"

altely that's been their marketing strategy. They basically did the same thing with RE7. "Hey it's scary again, what more do you need?"

Capcom has a marketing strategy?
Would be nice if they said during SDCC that they'd be revealing stuff all through August if that's what they're going to do with the variant covers. Might have caused some excitement.

It also missed expectations and stopped selling like a rock.
I don't remember the last time something Capcom put out that actually met their expectations. Maybe god damn DMC4SE...
Their latest MH game under performed slightly, both DR games underperformed, SFV underperformed, RE7 underperformed, DmC underperformed.
Capcom and them expectations.
Dont expect more then 4 colors since this shot was in the Zip leak too
Note that Hulk only has 4 different files for his Normals and textures
Seems like he only has 3, and the selected file numbered 2 just has his P1 colouring. Probably not a good indicator of alt colours.

I didn't want to say anything because I thought I misread how coding works, but yeah I only saw 3 sets of 3 files as well

He does this for many games, not just Capcom games.
Showing off video games is sorta Max's thing.

The combos will be useless as well. But I like the character summaries and the info about how they fight and strategies for using them. The frame data should stay good for the most part as well.

You got it right, 6 newcomers & a premium costume for each of them.

Still say it'll be $6 per character and for this first season pass they're trying to make it a "value". So people go "well it's 5 per character and 6 free costumes....might as well". While they're gonna offer individual characters most likely they'd rather you buy the bundle.
Okay that joint got me hype. Also I realize that iconic team duos are going to have shipped names like Stamora or Striderman or Nulk.
I wish Capcom had given individual pricing info for the DLC. How much will a character be? Is the season pass cheaper to get or is it just to get everything in a set? What characters are we paying for here? I can't stand season passes that don't give details.

Anyways, watching so much of this game made me want to play some Marvel again, so I finally bought the PS4 version of UMvC3. Game's still really good, and definitely scratched my itch. Now to see if I can get another controller so that I can actually play against my sister...

There's 2 things that piss me off in situations like this One is telling people to buy something when they don't know when it's coming out and telling people to buy something and you won't tell them what they are getting or all of what they are getting. That's why I didn't preorder the Horizon DLC, they don't even have a release date.

I have my two dream characters in the launch roster, so I will never buy a DLC character for this game. There is literally no one they could add that would make me drop one of these guys. :-D

That's never going to happen, unfortunately.
If she's added, I'll buy her just to show my support, but...it's not happening. I probably wouldn't use her over Jedah and Dormammu. Those two have a ton of synergy if Dormammu plays like he did in MvC3. Since Dr. Strange is basically UMvC3 Strange but fixed up, I expect Dormammu to mostly carry over.

Juri, Doc Ock, Wolverine, and Rogue are the only characters I'd still really want out of MvCI that aren't already in. Logan's guaranteed to get in given a few months, and I feel like Juri and Doc are somewhat inevitable with the DLC plans for the roster. Too bad Rogue has nearly zero chance of getting in, especially now that Carol is headlining this game. While I really like the character of X-23, I'm not a big fan of her "function" in MvC3, though I know that gameplay is clearly subject to change in this game.
Jedah and Venom should be more than enough fun to last me until Logan and Juri, though.

Most characters coming over from Marvel 3 play roughly the same. Yeah everyone got changes but their core playstyle/game play is in tact. Lower tier characters got buffed which was to be expected.
The three characters changed the most are Zero, Dante and Morrigan in terms of playstyle. Morrigan is a different character from Marvel 3 now, she can't play Soul Fists wall anymore. Zero got changed because of his Buster cancels giving him access to new moves. So he has to use movement and neutral differently than before. I think most Zero players are still happy with him as he's still robust and ultimately a good character.
Dante is super different now but I think fundamentally he will end up being the same type of character. He's still jack of all trades, weak when getting pressured because of slow normals but a great support on the team.
I think Firebrand will be different because he was kinda awkward to play and his unblockable probably won't be a thing. Then again they have given Hulk an unblockable so who knows, maybe there's an unblockable protection system.

Season Pass cost the same price whether you buy it early, or once all characters are released. It's basically just like a magazine subscription. Some of the issues you get might be doubly thick holiday issues with a free poster included, others are going to have crap cover art and not a single view you agree with.
But even mag subscriptions generally pointed out how much a sub would save you in the end. That was the big selling point! They could at least do as well as DOA 5 does with listing it's pass contents.

Anyone think the DLC characters will have their own Arcade endings?
They better.
thanks Skab
That's based on the assumption there is an arcade mode
. But if there is an arcade mode then I definitely don't think we'll get that this time around. Especially with all the work they're putting into story mode. I hope so, though.That's based on the assumption there is an arcade mode
We know there is an arcade mode. It was in the initial info dump with the modes.

I'm not sure if characters would release as individual or as duo. I think they might bundle one marvel and one capcom characters together.
They should. I meant all DLC characters always came with their story chapters in SFV.
Max is one of the few whose reaction videos I'll watch because he just seems like a guy who genuinely loves video games. His reaction to Cloud being in Smash is still amazing.
He seems legitimately hyped and his enthusiasm has me back on board.

As far as I can tell, they've updated nothing. It's just that they're showing more visually appealing stages and characters and people are getting used to the "look" of the game.
Game still has horrendous art direction and the bad looking parts still look bad. Only we're now seeing the good parts as well.
Finally some non garbage Dante play:

Drive causes a wall bounce!
At least Buster can be reflected back and it retains properties (so ground bounce if its an aerial Buster, Wall bounce if its a straight ground one).

i don't understand why they nerfed chris but buffed zero
i thought about it and i still don't understand considering the overall system mechanic changes
like magnum being faster and forcing you to reload, even on tag out is vaguely novel
but then his fire grenade, man
what the hell is his gameplan now
this line of thought was spurred on from watching RE vendetta
