What's sad to see is that UMvC3 was released on Steam in anticipation for this being released, and it just looks better.
Not from a technical perspective, but things like the UI, model design and art style to the fighters, and just the overall sheen to the things that Capcom had put on things - emphasizing a more comic-book style appearance and using their shaders to the utmost advantage to make that look pop - just seems totally lost here.
What happened? I'd be super-interested in hearing what transpired during the development to this game.

Dante Nemesis is cool.
Well the UI and such I don't know what happened there but Capcom in general just seems to be having a hard time with that as seen with SFV as well. Art style was most likely Marvel's doing...this game is an advertisement for the movies so they don't want anything looking comic like.

I have an order at cdkeys and I would like to use it for my US account if able any chance this is true?

At least SFV has a pretty nice character select screen. Before Season 3 scrunched everything up, anyway. In-game gauges are better than MvCI's too.
It really doesn't look that bad anymore. I mean yeah UMvC3 definitely has more style, but Infinite has some spots where it shines too. More likely than not this was Marvel's doing, as they want a more "real" look to rep the MCU. this look may actually garner better reception from more casual players too, considering it's more straightforward style is something more along the lines of Injustice 2, which casuals love. So it may end up being a smart business decision in the end.
Also, while the main menu and stuff looks pretty crappy (although let's be real, UMvC3 wasn't exactly a showcase in this department either), the recent UI for lobby matches looks slick and great. Seems like a step up from UMvC3 for sure. So it's not all bad.
The ingame UI is pretty lame, but so was MvC3's at release. If they keep supporting this game like they say they will, it's very possible we will get UI updates like UMvC3 did that look better.

Only one I can think of that is even a reference to anything.
Yellow could be Brad but I doubt it
The bottom left Black Shirt doesn't seem like anything.
If it had black pants and blonde hair it could be wekser. But with the tan pants it likely doesn't mean anything. Hell I doubt any of these RE costumes are references to anything. The nemesis one's certainly arent.
I think it's fine too but those menus are just booty. Really looks like placeholder stuff they never decided to change.
Yeah. And let's be honest, people were crapping all over UVMC3's UI. Even to this day.

It was Chuck Greene. I remembered it from GameSpot.

Doesn't Frank have a Chuck Greene color as well? Lol guy can get in twice as a reference and nothing else.
So only the Black and Tan has no clue for what it relates to. Someone said Leon but I don't see it.

Yeah Frank did have one too lol
I guess that could be Safari Chris, but it's one hell of a stretch IMO.
Especially since it looks so different from the MVC3 model. Though to be fair even in MVC3 that shit was a stretch.
me too. i've long since gotten over the art direction but now i can't help but feel kinda bitter again
Only one I can think of that is even a reference to anything.
The red one is probably a reference to Claire's concept art from RE2.
She had a biker outfit and R.P.D outfit with similar colors.

The Elza Walker stuff? I guess. Though the Rebecca seems spot on.

I don't see the problem either. It's easy to read in the heat of battle.
I look at the DBFZ in game UI, and it's equally simple and blocky.
MKX and Injustice 2 UI are super simple, too.
When people say UI they mean the whole package. Menus, character select, etc.
Oh yeah, the actual menus are ass.

I wanna say it's Damnd, but I don't know for sure.
Max has the PC version, and I assume he's savy enough to at the very least look through the game folders and shit... might be a reason why he believes the Gill mention :3
Also, I'm actually into most of these colours tbh.

Bingo. You got it right.

White Nemesis is insanely cool.
Maybe him?
Honestly, I think you're right but man that's a weird reference for Dante... or is it?
Ok, maybe not. The green on Dante's coat is a bit darker.

I wonder what Red and Silver/Grey Spider-man is
Looks a bit like
But that can't be right, right?

Probably something simple I'm just not remembering at the moment.
Side note: We need Spider-man Noir as a DLC costume

I mean, I was going back and forth between Damnd, Abigail and Belger. Abigail and Belger have white clothing, but Damnd does not. Damnd and Abigail do have dark skin, but Abigail and Belger don't have blonde hair.
So, I guess it is Damnd.

I mean we got chris repping dead rising so anything goes

Ah, interesting!
I guess the Damnd color does have a bit more credence, considering that on the Metro City stage with Avengers Tower, there's a apparently a statue of Damnd in the background, which...wtf? Why a statue of Damnd of all people?

Hydra Cap 4 lyf.

I think Damnd might be more memorable boss for everyone since many people already bumped into him easily in the arcade.
I will try my best.

US Agent Cap? Sorry I'm not crazy familiar with the comics
I know it's supposed to be Hydra but man that Green alt screams Captain 420.

I guess it was lighting that made it look brighter?
I will try to find other characters with green.
Aww, man, none of the neat design Cap America colours from Ultimate. Oh well, those are fine too.

It looks like a Hunter Green. I thought maybe Teisel from MML but that's still too light.
