Complete garbage. At a time when the games negativity is at an all time high, they go and say this stupid shit.
Why the hell is Iron Man in the game then if Nova and Captain Marvel are already tri dash characters?
People just need to take these PR talks for what they actually are.. PR lip service. The product can speak for itself, we don't need PR lip service telling us what we do and don't want.
Next time they will remove Dante from the game and be like "hey this Gamora girl can run and gun while also being a sword user.. that's kinda like Dante right?"
Don't make me fucking laugh.

I know they only have a few month until the release, and that their options are limited. I also know there's more to the current state of the game than meets the eye. But I'm still not satisfied with how the game looks or any of the PR answers being provided.
I will continue repeating that, to me, the game's visuals look like trash-tier mobile jank. It's impacting my impression of the game and my willing less to try it. I want Capcom to know that so that when they perform a postmortem on anaylyze any disappointing metrics, that they factor this among other things, instead of purely blaming the market and absolving their headscratching decisions.
I want to support the game, but not at the expense of reinforcing everything about this game that I disagree with. But I'll still leave the door open and see how it ends up playing. It may be functionally solid, despite it's sinfully ugly surface.
Like, don't call yourself an artist if you had creative input for the game. Don't even add it to your resume. Don't tell anyone you worked on it.
...so ugly.
...so salty.

Did Combofiend compare the game's story mode to the Age of Ultron comic?
Oh boy.....................

If characters are just abstract functions, why does Capcom acknowledge Chun Li's face is ugly?
It seems perfectly functional. Two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. That's all people are really looking for in a face.

Can't say it better than you did. What a terrible answer on his part.
So the X-Men characters really were overtly excluded to satisfy the broader Marvel strategy of not involving the X-Men characters whenever possible. Thanks, Combo; we don't really need anything more than that (especially lip service regarding the 'function' they would have served).
That story demo was really bad. Hopefully the competitive side will be interesting in some form lest it go the way of SFxT.

maybe he meant to compare the game to it 'cuz everyone is feelin' like this whenever more things get revealed about it
My favorite part:
What the actual fuck. Uh, no. We understand why Captain Marvel is at the forefront, she's one of the most expected picks and not even a strange pick at all. And the modern Marvel fans don't remember the playable MvC X-Men? Like they don't remember the continued existence of X-Men movies and comics? This is terrible MCU versus FOX question fielding. I wonder how they'll spin the female tokenism in the leak base roster.

No one is going back to UMvC3. This is going to be the Marvel game the pros play, especially if Capcom is putting up a lot of money. It won't be like how everyone went back to SFIV after being disappointed in SFxT. Worst case scenario, Marvel is dead.

Better textures, remove the CA, 16xAF, get rid of all that blur, then you will be on track..Chun-Li needs an overhaul, I don't really comment on the way characters look in games, but come ooooooooon. She's ridiculously tall, not well proportioned and her face looks offffffffffffffffffffff...
Yeah nobody knows Wolverine or Deadpool or Magneto but Gamora and Hawkeye are household names! Give me a fucking break, this is just pathetic PR bullshitting because they don't want to put Marvel under (well deserved) fire for holding out fan favorite characters.
MvC3 felt for the most part like a celebration of Marvel and Capcom's history. Infinite is an ugly, souless looking advertisement. I'm so glad Ryce leaked the roster so I wouldn't be holding out false hope that it would get better.

The sad thing is I think I've loaded up the story demo one time and one time only. I would like to get more familiar with the engine and combo mechanics but I can't because your enemies are dead in 30 seconds and then you have to sit through more god awful "story" content. The game does look fun IMO and that matters the most, but the roster and major exclusions from said roster is a huge fucking disappointment.

Combofiend gotta eat.
Hahaha, I was rounding up
. But seriously, how is anyone supposed to really get a "feel" for the game with that demo? It's terrible. The demo that was available to play at CEO should have been the one available for download. That's not Justin Wong's opinion but whatever lol.katsubento

They got blasted for no single player in SFV, so it figures they would show the story mode as demo. Funny how that backfired.

I think the focus on Chun Li's face is kinda bullshit given 90% of the characters moves, animations and models seem to be asset swaps with minor adjustments (to make them look worse).
Does this mean the game will do well?
GAF has a bad track record with predictions.
Say what you will about SFV, it's biggest problems reared it's head on release. It looked good till then, and in spite of me not liking the gameplay of its as much as I did past games, it's still fun.
But this? Holy Christ. Never has a game lost me completely on reveal and details. 2v2, infinity gems, mobile jank graphics, garbage ass demo, and a story mode you would never touch even if you bought the game. I wanted Mahvel, not this glorified MCU ad.

Yeah, I don't know why people seem to care so much about this.
We know the real reason why they won't include X-Men (or F4) characters. But they won't/can't say it, so they just bs their way through the interview. Doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, But I'd just rather they'd "No comment" at this point if those are the sort of justifications they'll give. It makes them sound highly misguided and it's not the sort of thing I want to support.
Is this what happens when you make it big and work for a company you love? You just turn into Reggie?

mmmm....no, this game might not do great but I see it having decent sales because of the Marvel and esports branding
but Dragon Ball FighterZ is going to be better so get #rekt Capcom
It's not going to do what they want it to do, sales wise.
Aye, it's a fundamental misunderstanding of pretty much any franchise game, let alone a comic book crossover.
If you mean the character stuff, it's mainly PR talk to cover for Marvel's petty bullshit. There's other stuff to blame Capcom for, which may be what you're referring to.

Haha yeah it's not like Deadpool and Logan (and to a lesser extent DOFP) are some of the most successful and well-received comic book movies in the past 10 years.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
I think they should leave Chun Li's face. The focus on it isn't really backlash, it's more like a meme. There's a stark contrast between her face from past games, but that doesn't mean it's a bad face, and I think it gives this game it's own face.

IIRC fans wanted a substantial single player experience, so now MvC is giving it to you. Be careful what you wish for, marks.

What a shitty answer regarding the X-Men and FF.
Nintendo might as well stop putting Mario in their games and replace him with a jumping rectangle instead. Yeah, mechanics and gameplay matter, but if you're making a Marvel fighting game, people will care about the characters.
