It looks about the same. MvC wins in fight choreography so far I guess.

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite - Story Trailer 3 [Up: Final roster is 30 characters]
- Thread starter Jonneh3003

As in "Heathcliff"
Game would be out next month, we should get two DLC characters per month for last theee months of this year.
Chun Liooks better. She looks like "Classic Chun Li in this style", whereas before, she looked like Chun's cosplayer that was picked out of an FGC convention line, and decided to run with it.
30 characters flat, eh? If Capcom is going to continually double-down on DLC being the meat of the "fresh" content in their games, I really wish they'd start trying to make the DLC seem friendlier. It's just like their business side and their "for the fans!" sides don't know how to unify on anything, which makes all elements just look greedy, and lacking in understanding.
At any rate, the story looks like the kinda stuff my friends and I would have fantasized about when playing MVC2 on DC, so can't hate on that. It actually does feel good to see Meio and Dr. Light given models and voice work that'll probably (so far) ONLY get used in 1 mode. THAT in itself feels somewhat like premium treatment.
This trailer came out a bit earlier than I expected, so I'm hopeful for the stuff that'll come with the follow-up gameplay materials soon. At it's basics, I like MVCI more than a grew to like UMVC3. So it's definitely the gameplay that's calling me the most ATM.

That's Eric Loomis, Iron Man's EMH VA.

I don't think cutting the story trailer like a big movie trailer worked for me.
It just reminded me of how low budget the game looks.

If a fighting game made today is capable of cutting corners, they will. Outside of Netherrealms, none of them are big sellers. It's unfortunate, but that's reality.

I remember that brief $9.99 SFV pricing on Amazon around launch. Believe!
one of my only positive thoughts from watching this lol
Yeah, dude does a great job at sounding like him, I'd probably believe it if I didn't know and just heard the voice.

I really really want to get hyped about this but I just can't.
Both graphics and roster feel like a step back from its 6 year old predecessor.

It's been brought to my attention that that image may not properly represent the "newness" of the characters since Thanos is mostly made from scratch, so here's a slightly updated version:
But yes, 5 "brand new" characters and one character that had never been converted to 3D before. Only two of those are on Capcom's side.
Still Iron Man's best VA.
Same! This just looks so low budget it's one of the worst looking games I've seen in a while actually.

They could have just taken the SFV model, but I guess this is acceptable.

Looks like an early PS3 or HD update of late PS2 game(like FFXII). Hopefully the gameplay is really good.
Checked IMDB, and that would be Eric Loomis: The guy who has been doing the Iron man voice for seven years now.
Ironically, he did the voice in the Iron Man 2 videogame, and then would do be Ironman in MvC3 the following year (and then got to continue doing the voice during the Avengers run on Disney XD).
Glad to know that he got to reprise his role after all these years in both medias of games and animation.
It wouldn't fit the art style.
Eric Loomis doesn't voice Iron Man in Avengers Assemble.
You can go to Best Buy as well.
And like every other EMH actor Disney dropped, its a goddam travesty.
Probably should have said "Earth's Mightiest Heroes." Apoligies.

The SFV model is probably too high quality for this game. This game needs to have 4 characters models loaded at the same time, more for some if they have assists like Ultron.

O...kay? I totally get the cutting corners, but that game is nothing like XvsSF.

Disappointing roster aside, that story trailer did nothing interesting for me.
If anything it made me even more "meh" on the story, cause judging by the story bits that they've shown so far, Dante will just be a chump in the background that doesn't do/say anything interesting and just gets his ass kicked every once in a while.
I wish instead of Dante they had Vergil in the roster. At least he would've been able to kick some ass as a villain.

But in this game, he'd look like he has no motivation.

Damn, I want to buy this game but I just can't justify supporting such a lackluster roster. Hopefully we get Ultimate MvC: I in six months like last generation.

Given their esports push, seasons of DLC are more likely to prevent splitting the player base.
Wait, but the player base will still be split: between those who pay and those who don't. There's no way to get them for free like in SFV.
But you can still fight people with DLC characters.

VA confirmed lines were recorded for 17 and its ASW...the amount of effort to make a model using their cel shading approach is ridiculous to do without intention of making that model playable. Given 17 has debuted 3 new attacks in super I'd say he's probably gonna be revealed later if for no other reason than to incorporate his new "signature" stuff that was added to him. 18 hasn't done anything new save one thing with Krillin as a team move so yeah go ahead and shove her in if you dont need to worry about missing anything iconic they gave her recently.
I'd say Android 17 will happen soon.
Oh its a given Toriyama abuses same face heavily but if you think for a second making a model in the ASW Guilty Gear manner is easier by any means then your either insane or just haven't seen the details on how hard it is to do what they are doing. It aint your standard approach to creating a cel shaded look. Its pretty much a shitload of work more than normal 3d or 2d to do this stuff how they do it.
SSB Goku and SSB Vegeta are definitely a quick way to get new cast off existing materials to a point but given how much frame by frame squash and stretch and frame by frame shader work they do for their models its still a decent amount to incorporate them. Plus I seriously doubt they're gonna be "Bone Claw Wolverine" recycled levels of gameplay. Plus if you think SSB Goku and SSB Vegeta will just be like their counterparts then you may as well claim Cammy and Decapre play exactly alike. Ditto for the rest of this games cast.
For that matter the utility of big beam attacks is definitely different in this game per character so no redundancy there. Gohan's is diagonal, Goku's teleports behind you, Cell's is horizontal, and Even Frieza's orb is a giant jumping diagonal shot that then trails the ground. All work differently and require different strats to deal with.
But hey...see what you wanna see. Just because the special effects in DBZ aren't gonna be wildly different per energy attack like the differences between Repulsor beam and Unibeam in visuals because of staying true to the animation style doesn't mean its the same even remotely during game.
Yup yup. Agreed on all points. MVCI will be fun as fuck...it just really needed more new faces and more model/shader work. It got left behind DBFZ in announcements today in my eyes because it just doesn't look as polished and all of their announcements are new things. Granted they are a new but having to build from the ground up with nothing to use as a base they have already surpassed MVCI in terms of new characters built for their game as well as achieving far better cinematics and graphics. Plus they have party mode.
I'll enjoy Marvel vs Capcom Infinite because as you said its fun as fuck to play but Dragonball Fighter Z is far more impressive and exciting with how its being handled in both reveals and workmanship so far.
Then they should have waited IMO to reveal it and release it. If this was coming out next fall instead of this fall I think it would be a much better game for it. They could incorporate more new cast at launch and avoid all this backlash of being a recycled game, polish the graphics, and in general come across better to fans. As is, it more or less translates that they completely rehashed the fight system by abandoning the 3v3 and assists people adored just to be able to use a recycled roster and have it play like a new game than for any other reason. Now THAT is staying redundant.
Same as SFV...its exciting to get a sequel but having to stick with a fighter for years until it finally feels like it finishes developing what should have been there at launch is not good for the perception of a company at market.
I'll play MVCI because it does look fun, but its a tossup if it'll stay fresh enough for me long enough to last through the dlc cycle given how long that can take. I wish this game wasn't getting announced till this years EVO so it could cook longer. At least it'll translate better in value to folks than SFV given its actually releasing with modes and a decent sized roster even if it is 4/5ths the same folks and moves from a 7 year old game.
At least I got some good looking new cast out of the few put in the base roster though. Can't wait to make teams out of X and Ultron.

Give it time. I bet Modok makes a return. He's modeled, and in already so he's not a licensing issue apparently. He'd be a good guy to have in this tag system.

That person was running on the assumption that waiting for a GOTY is viable for everyone.
I think everyone should do in-game currency for unlocks. Gundam Versus already has like 6 DLC characters IIRC and they are 5 bucks each.
You assume the people complaining about this model are the same complaining about the other. A website is comprised of many different people with different opinions.
I2's base roster had a much better new/old ratio, so it didn't feel as much like the base roster was being shorted with requested newcomers for DLC.

As soon as I saw Dr. Light, the lightbulb flashed above my head for a Dr. Light character similar to that of Pokemon Trainer in Smash Bros Brawl. Instead of 3 Pokemon, Light would control 3 of the robot masters he created (Cutman, Gutsman and Iceman mayhaps?) and be able to switch between the three of them.
I doubt he'll make an appearance besides story mode cutscenes, but even that cameo makes me really happy.
So 6 less characters than Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and only 6 new ones?
I mean, Capcom, who else will you have to blame when this doesn't sell well?
they'll say the fighting game market is too crowded, marvel movie fatigue, etc. Anything but themselves.
Injustice 2 launched with 15 series newcomers. MvCI is only launching with 5. I get the impression that Capcom is holding new characters back so they can nickel-and-dime us, which I don't get from NRS and Injustice 2.
