Could have sworn justin said loser picks but I could be wrong.

I went to a friend's house for my Brook adapter yesterday. He played the game on Friday for several hours and confirmed it was the loser who picked rematch, so yeah, that must be it and makes more sense than SFV's situation more than a year after launch, still, it should be both players being able to decide.
 
Spencer is absolutely the most wasted slot on the roster. I would have rather had *any* other capcom character that didn't make the cut from UMVC3 than him. Ridiculous that he's in the roster after a failed reboot almost a decade ago that almost no one can remember over characters that are from fondly remembered games.

At least make his classic skin the default.

Is the season pass gonna be 30 or 39 dollars by itself? I'm getting that so fast tomorrow either way.
If you have Best Buy gamers club unlocked you can get the deluxe which includes the season pass for 71.99 plus tax. So you end up paying 12 dollars for the season pass.

I was honestly kind of pissed at the DLC announcement earlier but having had a couple hours to think on it I don't really care, at least we still had a surprise after the ZIP leak. The asymmetry is going to destroy me for a while but hopefully it's very temporary.

And getting Venom back is really good, he's the Marvel equivalent to finally getting X (or maybe that's Gambit... still though, at least we don't have to worry about him anymore).

Venom and gambit have been playable in several past marvel fighting games, x has never been playable not just in mvc but ANY capcom fighter.

I'd say both, as both were first place in several UMvC3 polls.

I'm more mad that they just nonchalantly announced them. No big deal. Just a blurp at the bottom of the article. Like damn you couldn't even get some render from Capcom Japan?

No more wasted than Arthur or Firebrand honestly. He at least had one of the more fun and novel play styles when it comes to the Capcom-side characters they chose to bring back, even if I do think they should've made his alt costume the default.

So I take it that when
Monster Hunter & Black Widow
get added in, the OT might get updated to the "(X)-Men" function suggestion? Edit: Probably not...

Regardless, so far, it has been to be expected what the reviews would be: Presentation is poor, Roster is lackluster, Story Mode is passable and the gameplay itself is commendable. Definitely could have been better, but I suppose if the gameplay is the primary focus, the rest apparently can be sacrificed (according to Capcom).

Here's the thing I'm trying to figure out though, (and someone please provide a link to this if they can). Where did
Black Widow
get the confirmation? Don't get me wrong, it is pretty funny that throughout the speculation game that we didn't see her inclusion coming, but I can't seem to find a proper location that confirms her in.

...

Also I just realized something... With the announcements made... it is 4 Marvel to 2 Capcom characters for the DLC... I guess we'll get to see more characters in the future probably, but that is still a bit messed up that there isn't that balance; especially with all the Capcom characters that could be added in. Hopefully that doesn't undersell the Marvel characters, but I'm feeling as though that either Winter Soldier or Black Widow is probably going to be taking a few pages out of Jill's playbook for some reason...
 
is that confirmed? She doesn't sound like Ashly Burch

I have nothing against Ashly but she is totally miscast here.

This is the future of DLC. Holding cool characters from the base roster to sell as DLC. Putting blatantly boring af random ass characters that no one asked for on the base roster instead.


what a time to be alive
 
Ended up picking it up on PC, thought about moving to PS4 but the investment of Game+PS Plus+New Stick or Brook Adapter just isn't in my budget. Hopefully the player base sticks around on PC for a while.
 
I can't believe I have to play arcade/story mode to unlock some colors. Time to invite my little nephew over so he can get those unlockables for me. I aint got time for that shit.

you do not have to play arcade for colors, they unlock online aswell.

you do have to play the story mode for the extra stages tho, and theres quite a few.

Thanks for the heads up. Not as bad as I thought then since I will default to training stage as usual.
