Considering Marvel's pretty much done fuck all for the game except host the trailers on their YT channel and make some variant covers of questionable quality, I don't see it doing well then.

Seriously, have there been any TV spots? What about commercials on YT and Twitch?

There was an ad during sfv espn evo finals.

We're still a month out so it's a bit early to be throwing much advertisement behind it. I doubt they'd do a big marketing push on the TV side until the game's out or maybe a week before launch max.

We'll see. I'm not certain Marvel will put much toward advertising it either. But even a 15-30 second ad played during their avengers cartoon would probably attract quite a bit of attention among casual players.

Sucks there is no fetus of god.its all kinds of awesome.

haha no way in fuuuuck that one was going to get in this game. Best DS stage tho for sure.
 
Well at least they had that.

Maybe it's just because I'm comparing this to the push SFV got from Sony, but it doesn't feel like this game is being marketed well at all.

Its cause Sony put a large amount of money into SFV. Sony had a big interest in pushing SFV with its console exclusivity to sell PS4s.

Also, I'm going to start working on the OT soon, so open call for:

- Things you'd like to see in it
- Frequently Asked Questions that you think should be addressed in the OT (help me think of things that get commonly asked about this game and are not "y isn't it gud")
- Thread title suggestions

You can tell me ITT or via PM.

Also if someone could direct me to somewhere that has all the released renders thus far, that'd be helpful.
 
SFV Chun is the best.
But I don't like her posture in MVCI she was perfect in UMVC3.

Agreed. SFV matches her 3S/MVC2 look in promotional art pretty good imo. Glad her face improved, but she still just looks off to me. But as a decently frequent Chun main across a lot of Capcom games, I'm probably just being nit picky she doesn't look like her generally usual self. (Though her proportions and stuff generally aren't always consistent)

At least the Dark Kingdom stage looks cool.

Makai (Darkstalkers)

Better than my expectation of dark dimension + demon village.

FAQ should ask if they fixed faces yet at least

I honestly think that the reason people (me included to an extent) were so reluctant to accept the 30 char roster as the final one was because the idea that there would be no big reveal of a new character at Gamescom just felt counter-intuitive.

Like, "the marketing may be a bit of a mess, but they won't have blown the last of their new characters on a shitty reveal in a horrible exhibition match at EVO, right? There has to be more to come!"

That type of thing.




Also jesus christ Jedah looks like crud hahaha:

You underestimate Capcpom.

I think they'll announce one new DLC character. Then again we said that at SDCC and we got nothing.

More like overestimate, but yes.

They might have originally planned to reveal more DLC characters as the trailers went on but the backlash made them not do so.

People'd go "The base roster is trash and they're shilling 6 new characters behind a paywall?!" or something.

Better reveal the characters once the game is out.
 
Same with this game and DBF. People need to stop spending time in Capcom's Twitter comments posting memes and more time explaining those sick ass combos I'm seeing when they get their hands on it.

I thought you said complaining was warranted? The memes are fine.

Honestly without DBF Capcom probably would have left Chun-Li the way she was.

Thank god for competition in the face of brand loyalty.

I still stand by Jedah was supposed to be the big chaaacter for gamescom but the reception made them movie it up to Evo. I'd have guessed reveal with this story trailer and gameplay later.
 
MonHun being female would've been a huge help to having more than 1/8th of the roster be female. Too bad she's DLC.

No Fetus of God blows, but the stage looks cool so idc.

This is like our 5th Vs game without a SF stage, which also blows.

Also, I'd like to point out that the "story leak" somebody pulled up a few pages ago said that X had his JP seiyuu from MMX8 back. That kinda conflicts with what we're assuming, doesn't it?

Yeah. I honestly think the big Gamescom reveal is going to be gameplay footage of Firebrand, GR, and Dormammu, plus better footage of Jedah of course.

I'm genuinely curious why they threw this story trailer out seemingly at random though instead of saving it for Gamescom. Afraid of it getting overshadowed perhaps?

It baffles me that capcom doesn't understand you need to have a good base game if you want to make money with dlc as a service game. Like how did this roster get green lit? Must be banking on the marvel name alone.
 
Those touched up models look so much better. Roster is what it is and it'll be fixed. Gameplay looks fun.

Game will slightly undersell but hopefully it delivers. Once we have hands on it should be much better discussion all around.

The only thing I could see which I'll get laughed at here. Is perhaps they're announcing something at Gamescom for the game. Like "If you buy the game between X dates you get a free character" or something. Or perhaps a updated story demo. Just something at gamescom as a last thing of goodwill for the masses is what I'm getting at.

They should go the ASW route for some returning character dlc where it's free for a week or something.

I honestly don't understand it. This roster is really...lame.

Still excited to play the game, but what in the world were they thinking?

You misread. Complaining is fine. The memes are whatever. It's the consistent posting in Capcom's other Twitter posts that are dumb. Like, once or twice, whatever, but it's the same thing over and over every time Capcom posts. And it's the same people.

DBF probably did impact them. But not the dude spamming the same memeing around on Twitter. That helps nobody. It's just useless negativity, and time better spent supporting DBF.

If I'm a newbie player and I see the same person posting shitposting constantly, I'm not gonna wanna join that community. And if I'm a Marvel player, and I wanna check out DBF, I'm gonna be a little turned off by how the community acts. That stuff sticks around and creates a line that doesn't really need to be there.

so you mean...exactly like this thread? Gotcha
