Omg
It's definitely something I gotta get used to. I hadn't been following the game as close as possible, but was it already known that the control scheme would change like this? 'Cause I was pretty surprised in the control settings since I figured they'd still be using the L/M/H/S set-up.

Lol no, not in a world where Injustice 2 exists. Despite Marvel being one of the biggest brands in entertainment right now, I can't see this game doing well.

So don't cater to casuals but *do* cater to casuals.
The game has a story mode. It has input assists. It has MCU characters.
That market is covered.
The rest of us, who will probably only play story mode once, if at all, can at least be glad that the stuff that matters is good.
Casuals still bring in that big money at the gate so the game can reach its sales predictions. Currently, especially from a presentation perspective that audience is going to look at this and wonder why it isn't Injustice 2 levels.
Granted we know why. Inj2 has like 10x more budget than this game. But still you'd think Capcom would try more for that audience. Since I don't fee catering to them with better presentation would hurt anything for more hardcore fighters.
I don't even care about the faces all that much but the voice acting and 'story' in this demo were awful considering they were the main focus.
I imagine it will take some time to get used to the change in controls though I can't tell from this tiny slice whether or not the change from L-M-H-Launcher is a good one or not. Current feeling is 'no'
Really disappointed in general with the game now that I've had a chance to try it. Gameplay's solid but still clunkier than UMvC3, graphics are middling to poor, cast is lacking. I'm a long-since lapsed Dragon Ball fan but if I want my eccentric team-battle fighting game fix, I sure as hell know what game I'll be buying.

The good news is that now that we have this game to take the heat people will start talking about how great SFV is.
That's the Capcom cycle.

Man don't kid yourself. Nobody gives a damn about a story mode.

Exactly. Polished gameplay for the hardcore, polished everything else for the casuals.

I'll never understand why Capcom of all people, who reused Morrigan's sprite until the pixels were falling off, decided to redo Chun's face for the worse in every game after SFIV.
A large amount of casual players do. The only reason I played Injustice 1, MK9 and MKX were to play their story modes.
Single player content is important for that audience, and story mode is an essential part of this.

You have to be pretty clueless to say something like that, especially after the commercial success of NetherRealm's games. "I don't give a damn" =/= "GAF doesn't give a damn" =/= "nobody gives a damn".
I'll never understand why Capcom of all people, who reused Morrigan's sprite until the pixels were falling off, decided to redo Chun's face for the worse in every game after SFIV.
Her SFV face is an improvement over her SFIV face. Ditto for Cammy. Ibuki got rekt, though.
I would rather have single player modes like the MK towers or Heroes and Heralds than Story Mode.
But I also find the NRS story modes just as boring and corny as this shit.
Story modes really don't have much reason to be in fighters because the stories are bound to be nonsense and trash to justify all these peoole fighting each other.
Story Mode is actually pretty important these days. NRS understands this and made it the main focus of their marketing. Even Capcom added it to SFV even tho it was pretty crap. MvC:I's Story demo looked pretty awful. Everything from the VO to the choregraphy looked like an old game. It's like when games had those awkward ass cutscenes. Pretty surprising to me how dated it looks. Def a throwaway mode for Capcom.

Are you talking about her current outfit?
Your not reading good Marvel comics.
Lol, it's still all on Capcom. I don't know how they're still so bad at it.
This is a bad sign. They need to hate it this early on for the game to succeed.
Will add to OP soon.
For the brands that make billions at the box office in Marvel's Universe, you would think they'd go big on production. The VO and likeness should be from Hollywood. Not like Capcom is new to this. They hired a big name for Onimusha 3. If they put Dead Pool in this and Ryan Renalds is not in, I'm skipping story. If Nolan North is Dead Pool, I'm not touching that character.

it has used kick buttons before actually, cvs2 for example
I just don't like it. I think MvC3 has the perfect attack layout for a series like this.
The thing about a good story mode is polish, good direction and good writing. This one is sadly missing all of that.
Then throw the interruptions by loading screens, and it doesn't maske sense, even less after SFV suffered from the exact same problems.
NRS can't be blamed for this, especially when the first time they did their now "famous" story mode, was in 2008 and using Unreal Engine 3 for the first time. Yet the cutscenes were well directed and there were no interruptions or loading screens.
And budget was as limited as it could considering they were also working under a nearly bankrupt Midway.
One can only hope is just the demo. At least the game per se seems fine.

I don't know if I can handle Yipes being disappointed in a Marvel game. Let the man relish in hype.
I haven't quite decided, but I'm leaning that way. The four button scheme in MvC2 never really clicked with me. I'll reserve judgement until I see how they handle mapping Spider-Man's move set.

So... I finally just got my fill of the demo..
1. There's something very clunky about the movement in this game... and even the walking animations for some characters look....off.
2. I'm really not going to go into the character models. 199+ people have done that for me.
3. As someone else had stated, the banner between characters are somewhat corny.. It's like we're suppose to get hype because Rocket said the name, Dante.
4. I still stand from what I've stated before. The tagging mechanic is very fun. I love being able to tag in at any time. Though, your partner stays out there for a very unnecessary period of time. To a point that its weird seeing a character just standing there.
5. I notice you're able to do an Infinity Storm in the air. I did it by accident. Even started a dope combo because of it but noobly dropped it in an instant lol.
6. As previously mentioned by others, the demo was very short, not because only like 5 matches, but because those matches are finished before they're even started. Almost like Capcom didnt want you to train with a character through the demo.
7. So far... Everyone just feels off to me. I do love Captain Marvel though. I don't know if I'll pick the game up but theres at least one character I like.
8. I'm not trying to mean but overall this game just feels like it was intended to be a mobile game, and half way through, plans were changed to bring it to consoles.

Do you glance at any issue of Civil War II? Seriously, all of Marvel's big crossover events have been dogshit lately. At least this was silly, and not taking itself too seriously.

I love Pokken!
God, the CA is horrible.
Meanwhile, people are gushing all over other recently released and announced fighting games that aren't SFV or MvC:I.
Can't help it capcom is the bad guy, they are one of the most hated companies in the industry now, and somehow they keep on screwing up they always end up messing up something.
Let this sink in people.
Veterans of MvC2 were disappointed in MvC3 when released. What are they going to say about this?

Dear Capcom,
This game should not come out in September
it need to be delayed until November 30 ala FFXV
Include all the deluxe characters and fix the shaders and character models and HUD.
In the mean time, roll out of a few betas to fine tune the game mechanics.
If November 30 is still not enough time,
delay the game until early 2018.
Thanks,
Best regards,
DD

Does seem to be likely.
The leaked roster had one Capcpom character listed as unconfirmed. We just assumed that it was Frank West because SneakersSO said so.
Turns out he was wrong, and it's actually Zero.

Having been a Thor main new thor is a much more viable character. Can't get my old mighty hurricane reset to work.... need training mode now.side note the actual game is very good. It looks good and plays well my only concern is some wonky movement stuff I came across trying to tiger knee mighty strike.

Yeah, it's good it doesn't take itself too seriously, at least. The last crossover I read was Secret Wars, but I did hear Civil War II was pretty damn bad. Last comic run I read was The Ultimates, and that was pretty great. I had thought CWII was just yet another bad crossover and not a quality symbol for Marvel as a whole right now. Suppose I could be wrong, I only keep up with about run at a time.
Oh, wow, I forgot about that. Welp.
(Zero is actually one of the characters I like in the VS. series though so in a way I have a reason to pick this up if I have the money lol).
Watched Max's video of the story mode. The cut-scenes actually look highly decent, much better made than SFV's. Actually looks like a professional product. Graphically the game itself looks pretty awesome to be honest, just has some oddities here and there, like a couple weird-looking faces 
I still don't understand why these story fights only last for one round.

It's 2017. We've seen so many amazing looking fighters recently. It's hard not to be critical.
Street Fighter V's shitty launch says hi.
The genre has evolved.
Their fault for releasing in one of the best years for fighters in a long time
Only on PC though right? But then you get stuck with the smaller userbase.
