Can we get Scrooge McDuck in there? Best Capcom game.

 

[Jawmuncher]

His design would clash so much against the rest of the roster.

*hopes he gets in*

One of the main reasons I want it to happen. Surprises like that are what makes these games special.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

are you a hardcore fighting game fan or more casual?

I buy and play them, go to tournaments to watch, and cover the scene fairly extensively.

I'm probably more middle-of-the-road than anything.

 

[J-Tier]

I'll get behind Howard the Duck.

But I'm not spending my karma points on a Disney character.

 

[christiankid7]

Capcom decides to allow you to map whatever move to whatever button you want. Play your way!

Spoiler

I don't know anything

 

[Archtreyz]

But the pogo jump!?

 

[TheSpoiler]

Edit: At the time, the producer told me they were still playing with command executions.

Welp.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

You know who would bring the hype back? Jack Baker.
Imagine just a country dad fighting Ultron with a shovel, and a special where he gets in a car and runs over the enemy. Then you would have all his banter "I told ya I'd find you", "where you think you goin?"

That would get me on the train

God please no.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

You mean Darkwing Duck.

 

[BBboy20]

God please no.

 

[JediLink]

I still think "bunch of cutscenes eventually leading to some contrived reason the heroes have to fight eachother where you gain control for a few minutes before returning to cutscenes" isn't the right way to do single player content in fighting games. When I think of any single player mode I've ever liked, it always lets you choose which character(s) you want to play rather than having to continuously bounce between all the characters you have no idea how to play.

Waste of a character slot.

 

[Archtreyz]

God please no.

Jack is the best character of 2017 so far. Probably best character of 2016 too.

 

[PullumPurna]

The trailer was extremely underwhelming to me, and I was reeeeeeally hyped for this game. At least there will be a story mode. I hope it's good and they're able to fit all of the characters in it (please please please let Felicia be in the base roster, she would be so much fun as part of the story!)
And I must say... That limited version is looking GORGEOUS! That Captain Marvel... WOW! :O

 

[Jawmuncher]

God please no.

Y'all are thinking too small. Especially with DLC seasons.

 

[Dahbomb]

Changing command inputs 5 months until release date....

Didn't Capcom fucking change some inputs in SFV like a month ago

I can see it. He should have hell of super armor and transform as he takes damage.

 

[sinkfla87]

Haha, didn't even think about it like that. Damn.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

So where are we the character leak stuff from last weekend? Legit or already contradicted?
Edit: looking back the leaks didn't mention Ultron or Sigma being playable even tho they were already hinted at. 🤔

 

[Anbec7]

I think people are overreacting but I guess this thing is normal.
If the game is simpler but has some challenge is OK on my book, I mean it gives the chance of more people joining to play this types of games.
Besides maybe it's just a simple mode for newcomers.
At this point show me more Gameplay Capcom!

 

[cordy]

Max just put up his impressions/breakdown video.

 

[Dahbomb]

Didn't Capcom fucking change some inputs in SFV like a month ago

No? They made some balance changes.

We are talking about fundamental level controls here, not changing charge timings/leniency.


This is like making a DMC game and then 5 months before the game's release they are like "hey guys we are going to change Stinger motion from R1+Forward+Trinagle to just forward, forward Triangle".

You know they have to be doing other stuff like BALANCING/PLAYTESTING, bug fixing and polishing the graphics in the same time frame right now. How the hell were controls/game play fundamentals not set in stone in the first few months of the game development? The whole game is supposed to play around these mechanics.

I am sure some game developer is going to come here and rant on me about it... but this just seems off to me.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

DLC is fine but he should NOT get in before the likes of Wesker, Jill or even Leon.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Yes.

Again, can't give impressions until the 27th. What you've heard isn't wrong, but I came away feeling good about it.

Edit: At the time, the producer told me they were still playing with command executions.

I guess I would wage that we might see Ed trailer tomorrow and gameplay and impressions on Thursday.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Alberto seems to believe the inputs are optional, since the producer was playing with them as well.

Edit: At the time, the producer told me they were still playing with command executions.

Homeboy is a pretty reliable source, so either some commands are done differently, or it's optional.

Boxer got a dp motion, there was a couple of other changes I think as well to some other characters.

During the betas they were messing with some necalli inputs as well. Changing things right now is not uncommon.

New char for SFV.

Again we are talking about system wide changes here, not character specific ones.

The whole game has to be balanced around DPs with down, down versus regular motion. Suddenly you have to worry about certain moves always auto correcting when triggered which has to be taken into account for balancing.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

MVC3 completely changed how tagging was done after people expressed frustration over it at E3. They also removed universal air-dashes and double jumps well after the game had been demoed at various tournaments/events. Changing the inputs aren't that out there, honestly.

 

[BronsonLee]

This is the 10% part where I have a coherent thought btw

 

[Dahbomb]

Nearly 10 months before launch versus 5 months.

This is cutting it really close right now.

 

[TheSpoiler]

And, again, a presser dude here said this:

Edit: At the time, the producer told me they were still playing with command executions.

So it's possible Ryce's source was only given that simple mode, OR DPs and a few certain moves get that simple change and the rest don't.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

It is, but based on Alberto's post, this doesn't seem to have been something set in stone. Knowing this, changing the motions probably won't be that big of a deal.

 

[roflwaffles]

According to SneakersSO (who I believe has insider intel), there won't be any Fox characters in the 2017 Character Pass (I.E. the first 6 DLC characters). But according to Ryce, the Fox characters will be DLC at some point.

Welp, I won't be buying this game or the character pass until Fox characters are part of it then.


I think people are in a generally negative mindset in this forum because every new piece of news on this sounds horrible.

- No assists
- No X-Men classic characters that basically defined Marvel in the previous games
- Hideous HUD
- Art style and direction look like they're imported from a mobile game like Contest of Champions


MVC3 was a drastic shift from MVC2 and the community was pretty split on it before release, but this kind of just looks soulless.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Welp, I won't be buying this game or the character pass until Fox characters are part of it then.

Well, at least, they are likely to be part of Character Pass 2018.

 

[SaikyoBro]

I'd be surprised if no one has pointed this out yet but I just realized the trailer says "6 all-new DLC characters", which IIRC is exactly what the SFV Akuma trailer said at the end. It's probably a pretty safe bet that none of them have been in a Marvel vs. Capcom game before.

Do you know how awful people treated MvC3 before it launched? I heard much worse.

People are just always negative when it comes to things they half-know

So any leaks that have doom/xmen characters as DLC isn't legit? Well unless they mean for next year :3

at long last we can play as cyber akuma

The world tour modes in Alpha 3 and Soul Calibur are my favorite single player fighting game content.

Although I have to admit the story modes they do in the MK and Injustice games are dumb enough to make them fun.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I thought that was Marvel 3

SHOTS FIRED

OH BOY

Spoiler

you're in a real pickle now, Bronx

You guys have to be kidding me if you are falling for Bronx-Man's low key troll/bait effort.

Look at his other posts, I'm pretty sure he's joking.

Pretty sure he wasn't serious

Goddamnit, you people keep breaking kayfabe.

 

[DR2K]

Ironically TAC was frowned upon as auto combo for babies and ended up a broken hard as fuck to execute infinite combo bull shit extravaganza.

 

[Big0Bear]

It's possible this got a greenlight sometime in 2015 and they simply developed it in silence until that PSX reveal , September would mean it's going to get at least as long a development schedule as SFV. I'm assuming it's being made by the same team that did MVC3 , it's already been demonstrated they've re-used a very large portion of that games animation and Eighting (I think that was the studio's name) has merely been subcontracted by capcom in this case. In other words - probably as much work as making MVC3 in the first place which was a 32 character game with a dozen backgrounds and every mode you could think of. SFV used a new engine with incredibly high poly character models compared to what this seems to be going for , lot's of extra physics at work too.

Don't get me wrong - September does seem early and I'm raising an eyebrow of +5 suspicion after what happened with SFV but they had to have learned from their mistakes right ?

Hopefully all this simplified control nonsense is just that , game was already simple enough to play as it was. Dragon Punch motions in particular could be changed to just a quarter circle , make button 1 for hadoukens and button 2 for shoryu's . Not hard. 100% reliable too. I don't recall Marvel 3 being far off from that either.

For me it's their track record they screwed up with sfxt sfv so why not this. Plus we don't know how many characters there are but we know there is Dlc. Capcoms primary focus is Dlc after that maybe the game itself

 

[Dahbomb]

So? TAC is a bad mechanic and will always be a bad mechanic.

That it led to some bull shit doesn't make it something that should ever be repeated in a fighting game ever again.

I felt nothing, and that makes me sad.
