Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Characters and Stages Roster |DT2| oh dear...

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.

Budget, time constraints, stupid upper management, you know the usual issues when developing a game.
 
so you mean...exactly like this thread? Gotcha

Maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Par for the course with most games though.

Edit: This topic isn't THAT bad. People don't really mention other games or spend time shitposting. Most complaints here are legit and there are people who want the game to get better. Plus, I don't usually see the same things over and over again here versus on Capcom's official Twitter post, or on Twitter in general. There's no real malicious intent here, ya know? It's just dudes who want MVCI to be the best it can be.

I guess female Monster Hunter is going to look like this?

Hopefully her sword would be like this?

That's not Kirin armor but that's still sick as fuuuuck. Hopefully she has actual proportions in-game and doesn't look like a tall dwarf like all of the MH avatars.

Now I'm even more pissed off that she's not in the roster.

clearly you havent been here much. What you said in your post is exactly what happens here.

Some people with legitimate concerns, some memes, and then 2 or 3 psoters that regurgitate the same type of bullshit over and over and over again, which is very strange to me because I always thought Gaf didnt allow trolling but here we are.

So with the roster revealed, I have a question.

I am a little sorry for digging up the functions argument again, but... I'm missing one. We can probably agree, to some degree, that in UMvC3 Wolverine, X-23, and Felicia all share a role. The fast moving, all-offense, many hit combo pressure style.

In MvC:I, who's going to be that character? All-melee high-speed pressure. Since none of the above made it in, and neither X, Jedah, Captain Marvel, Thanos, nor Gamora look like it, aren't we actually missing this archetype? I mean Zero can combo, sure, but he's a hybrid. Dante and Gamora, too. Firebrand flies. I guess DLC Black Panther could of course be that guy, but from what I know of him, I don't expect him to be all out offense either. He doesn't waste movement. He hits you or he does not attack. Swinging wildly is not his style.

So who is the Wolverine function in the game, for lack of a better word?

Probably Black Panther.

Spiderman seems super offensive from what we've seen of him aswell.

I think Chun-li fits that description best. Spiderman kinda too but he's got ranged webbing and a lot of aerial based moves too.

Black Panther maybe but that one's all theory.

yeah Chun looks stupid aggro in this one
 
You know what would have been great

When you pick mega man after you beat the other guy's first character you get one of their moves.

Capcom missing all the opportunities here.
 
The zip leak just covered story mode assets. A character being in the story mode doesn't necessarily mean they are playable or dlc.

I like Winter Soldier but I think he'd be a bad character and I really hope DLC isn't wasted on him. He's just too much of a generic gun and punch guy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did we ever figure out who the third DLC character for Capcom's side was?

We've always talked about Venom, W. Soldier, and Monster Hunter (who we can at least confirm now to be the DLC character), but I don't think we have had the chance to explore who the third DLC character was yet (Not to mention that it is difficult to say if we will get that detail next week since if that were the case, we would have had at least some confirmation of two more DLC characters by now)

Hm, I could see Chun-li do that. She's not as much of a charge character in this game as in Street Fighter, is she?

It's a shame we lost all the claws melee characters. But Wolverine and X-23 are mutants and Felicia is a naked catgirl. I can see why all three were dropped in any case. Could have added Blanka, I suppose. Or if any of the other Darkstalkers fit the bill.

I'm still betting on Meio. Yeah, Capcom said he's only an NPC, but they're not above lying.

Which would make Capcom be Sigma, Hunter, ???

aye. Thats the question isnt it. I mean, could be that Strider boss I guess (they said hes a npc and...he is, in the base game) or someone not in the files because it's like the last character released and they didnt know at the time of the leak?
 
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?

They actually advertised it at the end of Japan Cup. Zhi looked disgusted talking about it.

Grandmaster Meio

Oh. Yeah, Meioh makes sense.

I honestly expected Tong Pooh or one of the other Winds (or Solo) if we were gonna have more Strider reps, but Meioh is fine, I guess.

I don't think it'll be grandmaster meio. He's too much of a nobody and I think they'd have deflected like they did with monster hunter if that was the case. They gotta start with characters who aren't in the story mode at all. Be a bad look if all of them are just pulled from the story.

It's a bad look that 80% of the roster is pulled from UMvC3, but that didn't stop Capcom.

They want these characters out before the end of the year, right? It'd make a ton of sense to use characters that already had models made for story mode.
