From Mean Girls?
While Infinite certainly has more impressive looking particle effects, there's a few issues there. They might look more impressive, but they also look more generic, imo. Iron Man's beams always had these weird particle effects from his RT, which came from previous MvC games. That's now gone. Chun-Li and Ryu's Hypers had this feathery effect to them, making them look different compared to other attacks. That's now gone. Strider while doing Ragnarok actually left after images behind him. That's now gone. The sphere in Dormammu's hand used to pulsate within his grasp. That's now gone.
Another issue is that the camera actually moves when the characters pose. This causes issues, see Chris' hyper for example, where now the camera actually moves behind him when he goes for the laser guidance gun, instead of actually super imposing him in front of the stage itself. In Infinite we now see a random part of the now static background of the stage, while in 3 we could see the enemy character.
Other Hypers seem changed just for the sake of changing them as well. Haggar's hyper now lacks the impact repetitions and the spinning, for some reason Dr. Strange now flies instead of astral projecting. Heck his animation still plays out as if he were astral projecting.
I still don't even know what's going on with Ghost Rider.
You know what Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite reminds me of? Those "we ported Mario 64 to Unreal Engine" tech demos.
Also, they never confirmed a day one graphics patch.

Who did?
Max's MvC1 Legacy video is up. Still 2, 3 and Ultimate left, so I wonder when he will actually start doing those Infinite videos he mentioned, hopefully its this week and not on launch week :/
UM Tyrant tutorial video series got me hype but then he dropped the first one 4 days ago and nothing else so dunno whats going on with that.

They're not too hard but there just using the template the have for their last few fighting games. It's getting old. Also I wish you got the plat for just starting up Dead pool.
Other good Trophy Lists for fighting games was under Night rebirth late and Blaz Blue Chrono Phantasma Extend. IMO the trophies in fighting games have no need to be catered to the hardcore players. Those people are gonna be playing MP and such regardless of any sort of carrot on a string. it's better to entice the more middle road players. They won't necessarily want to try their hand at 5 rank wins in a row. But they won't mind playing 50 ranked matches win or lose for example.

So Capcom uploaded an Iron Man vid on the Japanese channel. Cool, I guess.

With the trophy list out it's definitely starting to be sold at mom & pop shops. People who don't wanna wait might wanna start checking for streams or youtube uploads. That stuff should be hitting this week. Especially if capcom didn't put any sort of PS4 share blockers on.
Looking good. They're even using the team I'm interested in on day 1 (X/Iron Man).
yeah I saw that earlier. Seems like a simple introduction, wonder if they will do them for all the characters.
"here are a few special moves, here is a simple mode combo, here is a real combo, here is a couple of supers, peace out!"

Nice! That's moved me to day 1 (ish)
What's the best priced offer for a PS4 UK player?

Some people have up to 4.
What are you talking about? Does angled Proton Cannon not count 😏
That wasn't what DahBomb was talking about
(unless you were pointing out how bad his situation is now)So far Iron Man is one of the few (if not only) characters with only two supers, which are Proton Cannon and Iron Avenger.
Wonder why they took out War Destroyer.

so Ironman and Hawkeye with only 2?
Huh, some of those details I didn't really pick up on. The sphere pulsing for Dorm, Strange formally projecting and now not. Especially the Strange super, that's weird. It's like they didn't have the ability to make the projection or something. The Chris camera thing.
The rest of the stuff though, yeah I picked up on and agree with. Chun and Ryu in particular for sure. But still, it's nice to see there is some good to this game's looks in some areas compared to UMvC3. Still overall think UMvC3 looks better, but ya know. Good observations.

Also ooooo cool on Iron Man's new smart bombs! I always thought that the smart bomb move was such a dumb move for Iron Man, MvC legacy be damned. "I'm a billionaire with the strongest tech on the planet, but I'm gonna fart out these little ratchet smart bombs that go less than a foot."
The new floaty smart bomb this is way more suitable and way cooler.
Also ARRGGG THE GAME IS OUT THERE. NEEEEEEEEEED.

Spidey has Crawler Assault, Hawkeye has the other lv1, Chris has his too,

I know I saw Hulk's Earth ripple Lv1 in vids and Hawkeye has that air to ground projectile spray lv1 in ult... havent seen it in Infinite. Is it still there?
I forgot Hulk's ground earth super, so I guess he has 4, and so does Spidey if he has crawler assault.
Whats this other Hawkeye lvl 1 tho? Gonna look it up in ultimate I guess
edit: ah yes that upward angle bolla super, I havent seen it in any Infinite video.

Some supers have changed motions, so people probably haven't gotten used to doing them that way yet. That might be why you don't see a lot of supers.
I wasn't disagreeing about some characters having four supers (Zero is also a lucky character who has 4). Maybe I should have phrased my answer better.
So was War Destroyer War Machine exclusive? I didn't play Iron Man in the old games but I did play a lot of War Machine in MvC and I thought that since he was a pallet swap they shared all their moves.

Yeah, that was War Machine exclusive. Iron Man only had 1 super prior to MVC3.
It looks awesome IMO, I want to try her out in some of my teams now.
Wow, learned something new today. Though this does raise the question of why he still doesn't have three supers, as aside from changing a lot of things about him in this game he's the main star of Marvel. You'd have thought the suits would have demanded he get preferential treatment.
When I inevitably get this game, I kinda want it on PC but that costume actually looks good, why is it PS4 exclusive?
;_;
Also, I see that they're finally advertising the costumes and releasing individual character videos (though the last one just in Japanese), better late than never, I suppose.
you want it for PC? I thought you wanted the console version... so youre simply not buying it now because of the principle? because im not sure how much cheaper than what cdkeys is offering you expect to "eventually" get it for, unless you are talking about years down the line.
all DLC (and purchased games) are tied to your PSN account. But I dont think you can be online on 2 consoles at the same time so you wont be "sharing" anything.
The game isn't on PS3 anyway so why would it matter?
Yeah this is true. Any time I've gotten my hands on the game it's always taken me at least 10 minutes to remember that any down + down moves exist.

You might want to reread his comment... he is asking if DLC is able to be shared in this game LIKE it was able to be shared on PS3.
I'm hoping my local store gets the game in today.
The fact that they've practically changed the inputs for almost all of Dante's moves is gonna take some getting used to. Why did they make his teleport a down-back motion instead of just keeping it down-down, makes no sense to me.
the shit people do with SF5 mod wise is unbelievable, and with 4 before it. I got out of 4 before modders started actually changing the models and shit, I only used reskins, but man, people are crazy.
And apparently even back in 4 you could change the UI and shit, im watching a 4 video with Capcom vs SNK life bars and KO messages and shit.

I'm flip flopping on which version to eventually get, honestly. Normally I'd more inclined to buying it on console, but I kinda want to eventually at least try out the online and I'm not getting PS+ anytime soon.
I was not planing to buy the game before S1 is all out and I could get Base+S1 around ~60dlls, but if I find a Deluxe edition before/around launch for $60, I'd maybe get it? Lowest price for Deluxe that I've found is GMG which is more closer to $70, tho.
Honestly, even I found that prize, I'd probably prioritize Metroid: Samus Returns over it. I only have so much money to spend on games.
I don't get the use of Down-Down motions for things that aren't teleports. It feels so awkward

Ive had this game pre ordered since announcement but I'm wondering if I should keep it or wait and pick it up down the road. Has the community warmed up to this game at all? I recall it being received very mixed.
It's mostly to make sure I can use the DLC when with friends since I'll be mainly playing on PC but since carrying that around is a bit of a pain I might buy the deluxe edition for PS4.
Like Hellshingu said I meant like on PC. Since I switched to PC I rarely play on the PS4 so I don't have a clear picture of how easy it is to share digital content right now.
Wouldn't buying the base game from CDkeys and then the season pass separately cost around $55?

Yea, I'd love to buy this on PS4 but I'm not about to drop $90 on the deluxe version and resub for PS+. I'd rather use that money on future DLC.
as far as I know you can log in with your PSN account on a friend's PS4 and use the DLC there
I don't think it's been leaked yet but it probably will be in a few days. For whatever reason Capcom fighters always seem to leak early. MvC3 did, UMvC3 did, SFV did, etc.
I'm keeping an eye on a few NYC indie shops since none of them give a fuck about street dates but nothing yet.
