Yes. He is insufferably positive about literally everything he sees, does, plays.
No wonder I like him :)
Here. Have some pure Megaman X sexiness. Love his setups and combos.

Expected something better from Cell than another Kamehameha.

Buu apparently eats the enemy team if he kills with a level 3 super

@koogyplz is running down a lot of details on his twitter

he's...uh...a little excited

@koogyplz
My final impression after testing for 1 hour?

This is the best fighting game I've ever played. I'm not shilling at all. It's incredible

@koogyplz
The game manages to combine some of the best features from Guilty Gear, the Marvel vs Capcom series w/ Arcana Heart's homing dash perfectly

@koogyplz
The full screen zoning and intense rushdown combinations I tested all worked, and it felt very freeform but not overwhelming.

Like what, exactly? That's part of his defining moment in the series. Maybe his other forms (if they're even in the game) will have something else, but Perfect Cell didn't really do a whole lot.
I don't know, maybe he summons his Cell Jrs. or does a combination attacks with a bunch of special moves together.

I really hope that most of the cast doesn't have a giant beam attack as their lvl3.

I mained Cyclops in CotA cause he had the biggest beam super. I think I'm gonna like this game.

I have completely lost interest in infinite- DBZ seems like the proper versus series successor (mechanically) and looks amazing, while infinite is some weird hodgepodge of mechanics and looks significantly worse (artistically) than its own predecessor.

I mean I like giant beam attacks too but I don't think every character should have it.

Like yeah Vegeta needs to have his Final Flash, Goku has to have his KMH etc. But I want to see more stuff like Frieza and Buu stuff.

I am interested to see the other villain characters though. They have done a good job with the 3 main ones.


FChamp and Justin Wong going over Marvel Infinite on twitter. Some cool stuff in there.

Yeah mvci looks like a project made by some high school programmers while dbZ looks like work of 10 year veteran programmers.

Huh...apparently Captain America has a run thats pretty decent on this smaller screen in MVCI. We KOF now.
I think it's more like a slow dash with a run animation (that might be cancellable?). Was testing it out last night and it always seemed to stop at the same distance, but then again without training mode it's hard to be sure.

Doubt many MVC players will switch to DBZ, especially when it comes to tournaments, with MVCI getting it's own CapCup thing.
And that DBZ only has one assist, although I think that's a decent casual concession as well (virtually similar to choosing stones).

The game looks great but I'm wondering how unique they can make character movesets (especially when everyone wants 50 SSJ variants).

Gotenks had some weird ass moves IIRC. Him and Piccolo have good moveset potential.

The movesheet on the demo units says Vegeta's supposed to be a rushdown character. I'd say that's less about his abilities in the anime and more about his personality, since he's always rushing into things. They can make characters "choose" to fight with a certain style like that with other characters as well, I think.

In the anime, characters rarely actually "play to win." They fight in the way they want to fight. I think ASW can do a lot with that to make characters distinct from one another.

As someone who pretty much always plays Chun I seriously fucking can't with MvC:I, it's so bad

Anyway yeah I'm also someone that Evo has totally snuck up on. I'm not terribly happy with how SFV has gone down since launch (shocking opinion), and I was incredibly looking forward to Tekken 7 but I haven't even been able to pick it up or really even watch any of it since launch since my life has gotten crazy the past several weeks. I already took that Friday/Monday off (since I would have to already be up for work by the time it ends Monday morning here and I'm too old for that shit) and we've been on a PTO freeze for like 6 months so I'm keeping the days off and I'm sure I'll watch but man, first time since I started watching Evo ~7 years ago that I'm just not particularly excited at all.

Are you sure? I don't know how well that's gonna last if people end up being dissatisfied with both SFV and MVCI.

Also if there was EVER going to be a game to get people away from Marvel, it would be a well done/good looking 3v3 DBZ game soooooo this should be interesting.
 
Not my pic and tweet already deleted.

That's technically masturbation.
Lol. SFV first.

edit it might be fake. ryce is questioning it.

edit2 nvm he thinks it might be accurate
Don't do this to me! Dormammu, Jedah, Firebrand, Venom, Morrigan, AND Death? But how will they water down Dormammu in this game...

What is "Symbiote"?

Edit: rofl I looked Darhren Morhan up. Jhen's cousin. How in the world could that be a character?

I would assume something to do with spider-man symbiote suit. Probably it gets broken off and takes over some folks during story mode. Or could be related to Venom.

Capcom currently has "no plans" to bring the Switch monster hunter to the west.

Are you sure? I don't know how well that's gonna last if people end up being dissatisfied with both SFV and MVCI.

In the broader consumer market, I think that's right. In the FGC I think it won't be long before we hear that 3v3 w/ assists is "old" and 2v2 w/ no assists was the better way all along.

In case you missed this from Maximilian on Dragonball Fighter Z he hard confirmed we got some Nitroplus Blasterz craziness happening with assists.

@maximilian_

Can call assist almost at any time in DBZF. Call also call in both assists at the same time. Special button shoots small fireballs.

I've lived this shit before and it is insane. Simultaneous assists after a knockdown on someone is just madness to deal with. Luckily this title lets you do some very special dashes to deal with some of it but still. Call them at any time and simultaneous though means mid air calls and such. Gohan's uppercut plus Vegeta cold star beam is gonna be a real treat. I can easily see Rocking Buu's huge pink cloud move into this to fuck people over. Dont get knocked down or backed into a corner with duel assists on deck. Better learn to use them special dashes to avoid projectile assists...bet that just upped Gohan's stock as an assist given his is an uppercut you can lend to such setups.

Looks like a story mode boss, something like Galactacus(they said they're doing some interesting stuff with the story mode), shows up in the story trailer too, really doubt he's a playable character. :D

Nah, regardless if people hate SFV or MVCI or not, the only way they switch is if the Pro-players switch. And the pros follow the money.

SFV and MVCI are pretty safe, especially if MVCI is in the Capcup.

Capcom has been VERY shy when it comes to including MvC:I in the Capcom Pro Tour. Every time they've been asked about it, they've always spun the conversation to accessibility, or it being too late, or something.

It makes a lot of sense, and like, why not, but I'm not even sure anymore. They might just want to focus on SFV and keep the money there.

The MVCi trailer is what it is, but offering that morsel as a demo when there's hardly any playable content is like a big middle finger to the series faithful

How the fgc's savior went from hero to zero in the span of one year is startlingly sad

Capcom Pro Tour is sponsored by Sony

MVCI isn't PS console exclusive

seems simple enough to me

Considering how heavy the promotion is focused on the story mode I figure they're afraid of being seen as making eSports the focus like with SFV. Also, they might not have the investors yet because they don't have the built-in money like SFV did with Sony.
