The DLC characters are brand new characters, so new to the VS series (like Sigma). It can't be Sentinel.

Cool. Still getting a weird feeling sentinel might return though. I dont see them ditchin much from UVMC3 roster...I dont know what sorta limbo Sentinel falls under in terms of xmen or whatever though. He technically should be off the table due to Fox, but I dont know if Sentinel is specifically a listed property exclusive to Fox. Sure its a thing in Xmen but its like a tank or weapon and I dont know if Sentinel was something that got licensed or not.

He'd be pretty fun to do a tag combo with. That giant could setup some cool stuff with drone calls into tag stuff. I bet I could pull some stunts with his Ground bombing drones for sure.
Yeah, but will you play it longer than you played MvC3?
I played all through vanilla and dumped UMVC3 around new years or something after seeing the way its character balance was goin and with my college degree kicking in full gear on workload. Had to be an adult and its direction was enough for me to justify accepting that fact. Remember...I had played all of Vanilla attempting to use footsie Ryu and then I went into UMVC3 dedicated to footsie Iron Fist. I wasn't gonna be happy and I accepted that.
Expect at least a full 12 months minimum given how it went last time is how I see it. I got a career now and its pretty demanding but I do plan to play this and I2 when I'm at home since I can poverty fighter at work. Sad but the GPD Win doesn't run UMVC3 well so I doubt MVCI will hold up at work for me unless a vita version or something hits otherwise I'd play it there too on breaks.

Should have just switched to Vergil and played footsie Vergil.

Pope select dash for movement plus half screen normals = Top tier footsies.

If I wasn't trying to play footsie guy I should've probably played some kind of Hulk Team. I had a lot of fun with those. Team Armor made me pretty happy.

Why do I get the feeling Sentinel will be DLC? There are a ton more valuable to spend cash on, but if he makes it due to his fan following in this series I just hope for one thing...the return of his air Down+H Body Press from X-Men Children of the Atom. The shit I could pull with tag combos and that mother of all crossups would be ridiculous.

Been playing this on fightcade a lot lately. Truly surprised at just how many of his old moves there were that disappeared. Buzzsaw multihitting air kick, huge range jump kick...just cool stuff all around. Plus his cr H was a missile that hit like a truck back in those days and he used a lot of ground angled missiles.

EDIT: Yay! I found sprites of the old moves I mentioned!

Shit, I sorely missed when Colossus was able to pick people up off the ground while in the downed state and be able to throw them. I didn't even play the character at all in marvel 2 because he no longer had that ability.

I'd say the game has no chance of Sentinel. They've already given the finger to series purists.

His CotA animations are incredible, though. MvC2 kind of gutted him, and then MvC3 tossed out the casing.

The problem is that his MvC2 icarnation became the definitive version of the character's moveset so they probably felt compelled to use it.

Tekken 7's gameplay modes announced. The amount of content is staggering when we're so used to poverty content from a company that starts with a C.

corby said:
- Arcade Mode
- Full length story mode WITH additional side chapters dedicated to non-Mishimas
- 36+ characters included
- 18+ stages included
- You can play certain Tekken battles from previous games as seen with the Jack-4 fight
- Treasure Battle looks like a "Super Ghost Mode" with special matches added that also separates your online and offline rank
- Every single Tekken game opening/ending can be viewed
- Customization on diamond
- Jukebox on PS4 has the ability to play any Tekken series track on any stage you want regardless of the round
- Turbo Mode

It's almost time fam.
 
Tekken 7 will be the better game, will sell a lot more, and yet people will still play SFV in tournaments, while crying on a daily basis about how bad the game is.

SAD!

What a great year tho', Inj2, Tekken 7, Marvel, UNIEST (lol 2017), Gundam Versus, Rev 2...

I haven't been posting here for a while, not exactly sure why, but this MvCI hype brought me back

Anyway, just by curiosity, am I the only one who still likes SFV? I mean, I haven't been playing it for a while, but it's a good game to watch and I like to play it when I do. I agree it has problems (jab aa sucks), but still fun imo

I'm just playing SFV to finish the last achievement (300 ranked wins, ffs) and then I'm done.

Namco probably doesn't care in the long run because they already got the arcade money locked down, but there's no question a complete product like the console version will sell more than an incomplete shit like SFV.

Yep, and a handful of well-known FGC personalities want more people to PLAY OTHER FIGHTERS but those people still don't give them a shot and still get whipped by Capcom.

DP change is back in LOL!

Based on the articles at least. Ryce was right all along.


Also the control scheme is finally confirmed... Marvel 2 4 buttons (two kicks two punches) with Tag and Stone as L/R shoulder buttons.
 
Blazblue Central Fiction released on steam yesterday. Reading steam reviews it seems that there are issues with the port, like sprite resolution problems and keyboard mapping. Hopefully the fix it, I wouldn't mind double dipping on certain games if the port was done well.

Did KOF XIV or GGXRD outsell SFV?

lol nope. I don't think them put together outsold SFV even though one of them has apparently more casual content. Tekken 7 will do better though as it's a recognisable brand in the west but it dies off really quickly for some strange reason.

Seems like Capcom doesn't actually know what they want to do with DPs, hence the mass confusion.

LOL Capcpcom gonna Cappcom... get your shit together, game is releasing in 5 months!

LMAO Advancing Guard reflects projectiles now!!!

That's a game changer! None of the leakers mentioned that tidbit!


Story mode is 2 hours long.

There are apparently no charge moves in the game either so that's a big boon to Chun Li and Hulk. Though I saw Chun Li charge up her EX SBK though so I am not sure if that's entirely accurate (maybe you charge it like Buster by holding a kick).

Happy Birthdays can still occur but the secondary character doesn't take extra damage.


Wave dashes are in confirmed!!! Though Capcom is saying it's better to just let the dash play out (further/faster dashes or runs?).
