Game is gonna make insane bank and it will have the approval of the FGC for continuing the core mechanics of MVC2 and MVC3 into next gen which is what they were really asking for with wanting a marvel sequel to begin with.
Calling it more commercially successful than MVCI and more appealing to the public is not an overestimation here. Its visually stunning, deep, and tied to one of the biggest licenses in existence. Its just gonna turn heads and thats a fact. Meanwhile MVCI who already had issues with its image to both the public and the FGC is struggling to get past memes about its poor models and graphics because they put a magnifying lens on their unpolished work too early in an entirely story focused E3 trailer and almost entirely last gen roster.
I could see this happening no matter how high its numbers are honestly. If it aint capcom it aint getting top billing from EVO and thats a fact. They push that shit above all else out there. Only thing they've ever made way for is Smash due to its insane draw power and money making ability. EVO has always been that way and its always been blatant to other communities. I expect no less. Its why I prefer CEO tournaments. Better ran and very kind to all games.
I am certain it will gain traction. It plays super fast, is 3v3 plus tags plus assists plus a huge license. What would it be doing to make it NOT get traction? Not being a Capcom title? Is that really all it takes to make the FGC not care? General public is gonna be all over this game and its matches are already hype as hell and its not even a fourth done yet. Being serious here because I see more downplaying of fighting games based on not being developed by Capcom or being Anime than anything else and I play just about everything. Not Capcom? Anime? Oh then it gets an auto fail from folks.
I predict this game will make the FGC more aware of something than before...fighting games moved on without Capcom and they are not the end all be all anymore. Folks have been experimenting and trying new things for a LONG time now with graphics and gameplay mechanics and its coming to a head. Now we got a VS series sequel struggling to turn heads because the tech ASW made for graphics is slaughtering them, multiple developers programming games with better input lag numbers than they can manage, many titels on the market destroy the online experience Capcom is managing, single player content is now far beyond anything they have bothered to do, and so many new fresh game mechanics have been tried that now with even older style ideas like 3v3 with assists they are showing up to prove it could've been taken way further for the players than they did in terms of tools to help intensify the game and improve upon the formula. All that is before we even get into the movesets and its already beyond what Capcom has been doing.
Most I'm seeing out of Capcom is them trying to catch up. Dragonball Fighter Z is gonna be big and I easily predict it'll slaughter MVCI sales while still showing up to put out as many hype matches as MVCI.
