Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite announced (PC/XB1/PS4, 2017) [Update: Info In OP]

I sure hope so, but has a Marvel character ever gotten drastically better without a complete overhaul? Morrigan?

Wright really didn't need too much to become a viable character. More range on his normals, removal of bad evidence, and Turnabout cr. H hitting low were basically all he needed.

Heck, if he could use his specials in the air that would have done a lot by itself.

Yeah, I know some grew up with Venom as the big baddie, but I grew up playing this:
250px-Spider-Man_(1982)_Coverart.png

So my idea of the classics are different. It always bummed me out MSH and all the subsequent games never had one of the Sinister Six or some other really old-school ones. Probably because ones like GG or Ock would have been too difficult to design.

I always wanted a home port of the Spider-Man arcade game too, because we finally got some of them well-presented in a game, but that never happened.

We understand each other. Spidey's classic rouges have such potential that it is sad that we don't get more of them showing up in games like. At the very least, you'd think someone like Rhino would have been a great "sub/moveset inheritor" for Juggernaut in Vs., if Marvel wanted to perform a bit of "future proofing" against the mutant plague.

Speaking of Sinister Six...that brings me back to that "Spider-man vs. the Sinister Six" NES game being the first Spider-man game I spent a lot of time on.

I wonder what all the gems will end up doing. It's easy to guess/speculate on what all the power and time ones will do, but what about the mind and the soul gems?

Will be interesting to see what they come up with.

That reminds me: how thoroughly were the console/Vita versions data-mined? Any scraps expected to be found in the upcoming PC release?

im expecting a fuckton of unused VA and animations

hopefully the existing LMT tools work in swapping them around for characters so exploration can be done quickly without having to wait around for a compatible one if it ever shows up

Looks like Crystal Hunter:

Can't find any other attack that looks as similar as that.

Rebumping this for those who didn't see it.

I wonder what other attacks X is going to get. Man, just imagine if he can get different moves depending on the gems. Who knows. Didn't one of the gems focus on elementals? Given his arsenal the sky's the limit.

Mind gem lets you look into your opponent's thoughts to see which way they're going to TAC

I didn't plan on sharing this just yet, but with the incessant Fox ban discussion I thought I should speak up.

Yesterday, I was told with complete certainty that X-Men and Fantastic Four characters will be coming… as DLC. It's a done deal.

I'll pay whatever they ask for Super Skrull. So much fun to play in UMvC3.
Yep. They better not do individual FF characters, would be such a waste.

Love your Wright btw. :)

You would know pretty well, but yeah, especially since this game is going to have No assists, either Maya shield would need to be 'much' better or they'd have to change him quite a bit to make him work in 2 vs 2.

Actually, without assists Maya's shield becomes much stronger. Less damage being dealt at one time (Maya got destroyed by beam assists) + it's easy to handle people in a 1v1 situation with it, unless they have a good command throw (*cough*Skrull*cough*).

no - but i did hear initial character count is low 30's. if i had to guess, season pass would be 6-10 characters split across marvel & capcom. really hoping cyclops makes his long overdue return.
So wait, somebody says it'll have a much larger roster than expected, but then it's actually only low 30s. I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for a 60-character selection!

They can't get away with calling Apollo Justice's new game anything other than Phoenix Wright, they're not replacing Phoenix with any other Attorney in the series.

My suggestions

-Soul gem let's you use your soul as an after image, starting V-ism.
-Mind gem unify the minds of your team, letting you control both characters at once.

Please bring back Psylocke.
 
Pretty much guaranteed.
Pretty probable (since he'd become a fan favourite).
Extremely high.

I'll honestly be surprised if any of those 3 doesn't make it in.

I hope so! but i have a feeling that at lease one of those will be season 1 or even season 2 dlc to keep people playing if they know their favorites are coming later on. I hope that's not the case but it might be the 'smart' business model.
 
Can we tweet Combofiend or someone en masse to help bring Baroque back?

It would be the biggest tragedy if such a genius system was sent to die and be forgotten on the Wii..
 
So, if Phoenix Wright/Apollo makes the roster again, do you think they'll make him...better?

There were ways to make him work, but it caused too much sacrifice to the rest of the team. Even if a Phoenix Wright did knock Yipes out of Evo one year. ;o

What's the consensus on vanilla "pre patch" version of Wright with the invincible assist. I haven't followed the meta in years. Would be God Tier or would it have ended up as a gimmick that never got mentioned a couple months down the road?

Dante, Spencer and Wesker. What are the chances of these 3 returning?
All of these are pretty much guaranteed I would say. Especially including DLC.

Gimmick, not at all god tier.

The game is being directed by Norio Hirose, whose credits include Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom, Project Justice, Capcom vs. SNK, and Devil May Cry 4. We’re in good hands.

Now we're talking

Spencer is apparently in, Dante was probably the most popular Capcom character in 3, and Wesker is probably the second most popular in 3 despite basically being gone from Resident Evil. I'd be shocked if any of the three were missing.

But why does he hate character art?

Hot digitty.

Almost every game besides Puzzle Fighter is one I spent a lot of time with (sorry, I suck at puzzle games).

Hype raised~!

They had Kyosuke in CVS didn't they?

I suppose that's a good thing for the people that want to see a RS character in MVCI
