Do I win a prize for talking about my penis on the Internet???
No X-Men confirmed really fucking sucks..but I must admit a 2v2 'reboot' of sorts following the Infinity Gaunlet arch is very intriguing..

You think GAF would have survived if this reveal didn't leak and we all saw the trailer for the first time today?
 
My hopes for how the gems work:

• Pick one before the fight.
• can be activated at any time
• can only be used once per fight
• each gem gives different buffs, i.e. Power works like Xfactor in MvC3 making you do more damage, others could give speed boost, revive a down character, give you unlimited hyper bar for a period of time, ect


I just hope there is only the 6 of them. Hoping this doesn't devolve into SFxT levels of stupidity.

I doubt that will happen. Marvel want this game to be very accessible.

that logo is TRASH

looks like the sonic colors ad team is still getting work

The logo is WAYYYYYY better than the garbage fire that was MvC3's logo though.

And don't even get me STARTED on how Ultimate made it even more clashing.

The logo for this game looks like it'd actually be in the classic MvC games.

Okay theory time.

The Capcom Unity post says there's a cinematic story mode with an "all new villian".

I assume that's the shadow guy at the end of the trailer.... who to me looks like Ultron

merged with the boss of Ghosts n Goblins... Astaroth

Given the blue eyes, the cape, and the spiky gauntlets, plus the whole robot angle... I'm pretty sure it's Sigma he's merged with.

I dunno about this whole 2v2 thing. MvC, MSH, & TVC were never very popular competitive games & for good reason. This feels like TVC2 in the making. 2v2 just isn't that hype.

Would make sense if Arthur was the obscure veteran Ryse was talking about

My theory as well.

I think it is actually Sigma + Ultron. Ultron and Sigma like to sit on thrones looking smug as fuck, and it would make sense, especially with X's inclusion.

That's what I'm thinking too.

Pls have sigma in as a separate character tho so I can have my team be X/Sigma.

I will never play another game again.

X-Factor, if you break it up, works like how a Gem would. Increased damage, increased speed, increased recovery, and so on.

If they make gems into that, take out X-Factor, but still have the activation "PAUSE" 1-time-use thing, I'd be down with that.

Oh, but each character can use their own gem, so you technically get 2 X-Factors, but with your choice of power, mind, etc.

The 'big bad' being Ultron/Sigma makes more sense the more I think about it. Fits the 2v2 theme, Ultron is MCU (obviously), Iron Man and X already shown off.
 
Two fucking Yakuza's, U4 DLC centered around Chloe, TLOU2 and a new MvC... in a single keynote. I gotta calm myself down at some point, but I simply can't.

GOD, such a show. Btw, who was the guy that they teased at the end of MvC Infinite trailer? MCU related I assume?

I'm super disappointed that any hero that is in the X-Men club has gotten the boot for Infinite, but I am happy that UMVC3 is getting a next gen port for XBO, PS4, & PC. I just hope that the development team can properly balance that game now.

And I wasn't expecting Mega Man X to be "the" Blue Bomber for the Mega Man series rep. Here's hoping Zero & Tron Bonne are still around, along with Bass.EXE being both the Battle Network rep & new villain for the Capcom side.
