These are sensible ideas that I've mentioned in the past, at least before enzo_gt filled my heart with hope. These may be the sensible solutions for Capcom.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite announced (PC/XB1/PS4, 2017) [Update: Info In OP]

Noticed that too. Thor confirmed, but that's obvious.
I'm pretty conflicted about the reveal. On one hand going from 3v3 to 2v2 didn't bother me so much... but maaaan I am going to miss assists. So many crazy moments in casual play I had with friends came from life saving assist calls.
The Infinity Stone mechanic looks promising as long as its balanced well. Would be a shame for all teams to just find one stone above the others.

No, but I'm inclined to say Eighting based on Ryu's model and the reused animations for Ryu and Iron Man.

Looks it. I am amused by the idea of every stage being a 50/50 mashup of a Marvel and Capcom setting.

Its certainly Asgard, but it does look off. I mean, there's a truck after all. I was actually going to comment on it a bit ago, but went back to watch videos of the opening scene from MMX to see if I could find a match for the truck, but I didn't see it.

That's completely fine and not my issue at all, especially considering the loss of 3v3 and assists are a pretty big paradigm shift for the series. I'm talking about the people declaring the game shit and dumbed down based on a just under a minute of gameplay.
Look at Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. The game is decidedly slower than Marvel, was 2v2 instead of 3v3, and had a hilariously basic assist system. Yet, the unique mechanics the game separately brought to the table (Variable Air Combo, Baroque, Mega Crash, etc.) elevate the design beyond "watered down MvC1", and ended up being a pretty great game.
We don't know if there's more unrevealed mechanics yet. If they do reveal them and they're ass then yeah, go ham on the game. I'll probably be right there complaining too. But as it stands now, the people declaring the game DoA and dumbed down just based off of the GI article and the gameplay look fucking dumb. There's not nearly enough information out there to call it a regression yet.

Do you think Rich has a chance now? I didn't see that many similarities between him and Carol.
Then again, he'd probably have a lot of changes, too....

Rare abilities could be character-specific ones like in MSH. At least I hope so.
fucking thank you

THIS. Look just include a "simple mode" like umvc3 or some other recent games have. I'm all for accessibility but cutting assists and 3v3 because people felt overwhelmed seems like a mistake. And yes I've played all the earlier vs games. I'm just waiting to hear it's only going to have 2 attack buttons and supers tied to the rest for maximum accessability. Hopefully they'll hit a good balance between casual and core fans fingers crossed.
Plus they're bringing him back in the comics, so even Marvel is acknowledging they've fucked up by pissing on him the last few years.
I hope he's back, he was the best.
I recall the Xmen/Marvel vs Street Fighter games having 2 on 2, i don't see the issue.
I want to know if infinity stones work just like the Gems in MSH
I also would like them to bring back how launchers worked in MSH to MVC2. I could not get it at all in the third capcom installment at all, it felt like the simplified the combo structure significantly

Quick update from some industry friends (I wasn't able to attend PSX to ask questions personally, sorry):
- The game is early.
- The controls aren't finalized.
- The roster may not be finalized.
- The graphics could still be touched up.
- No Marvel characters are off limits, but some may be limited to story mode and not playable. This doesn't mean Fox characters are in, but it's not 100% out of the question.
Again, nothing first-hand, but that's what I got from multiple people at PSX who spoke with Marvel and Capcom reps during interviews. Hopefully that quells some of the concerns people have. Wait until E3 or Evo for a better look at the game before you assume it's not what Mahvel fans want.
EDIT: Edited for clarity.

2v2 is a step down, but I would forgive it if it means bringing back the "duo team attack" system. That should have been a permanent staple of the series. Yet it was only used in the first MvC.
Can't be said enough.
Damn, did they do my boy Rich justice. Really do hope Nova pops in and it's Richard. You hear me, Capcom/Marvel? (maybe, maybe not, but worth it if they skim the thread)
And, on an aside, BEYOND happy Richard's back in the comics too. Took them long enough....
Seems weird that it's super early with release only a year a way. I hope they work fast. That said, I thought the gameplay looked fine. I love the older 2v2 games, so the switch doesn't bother me.
Yeah. All this.
And I think another on SRK put it very well, too: It's good that they are focused on designing a good game first where everything works, instead of "we need this because MvC2 had it and we need this because MvC2 had it and we need this because..."

How the hell are they going to finish this in one year?
For the looks of it this is going to be released bare bones like SFV....
This is bad.
Whoa, how are they gonna release this game in 2017?
Ya that's a little worrying.
Really wonder how big the launch roster will be.
Capcom always do Marvel's IP justice. Literally the only reason why I watched GoTG was because of how awesome RR is in UMVC3.

Yes. Someone should probably link that GI piece in the OP before this gets asked for the 289354th time.
2v2, assists, blah blah blah. All that matters is that this is the first MvC game with Black fucking Panther.

Half finished with the other half in patches.
Music to my ears, though the wording as well as what Polygon & Eurogamer has me second-guessing. Why wasn't Marvel straightforward in the interview?

Hm, if they really are reusing assets from MvC3 instead of completely building it from the ground up, then this gives me hope that the roster really will be huge.
And it will heighten the chances of my boy Phoenix Wright coming back!

I pressed for more details, but none of my industry friends are big into fighting games. The impression I got was that they're far enough along to be done in a year, but a lot of stuff just isn't finalized yet. Things are still in a state of flux in many ways.
Something like... they have the game up and running internally, but they don't know if it'll 4-buttons (or less) when everything is said and done. That's not an exact quote, so don't take it at face value, but that's the gist of things. Combo system is good to go, but it could still change from 4-button to 6-button or vice-versa.

What ESPN reveal?
Good point, but tbh I wasn't very fond of his gameply in MVC3.
They kept Iron Avenger? I saw the unibeam super but didn't see the part where he flys at them and tackles them.
I agree with you on his armor design. Something about it looks off.
Finally, I'm frankly disappointed that he still has proton cannon and what is likely going to be his same move set. Really hoping they at least add one or two new moves. The same old moves again for the 3rd game in a row. I also love how the trailer shows him using hand blasts but the gameplay is the same-old-same-old that we've seen for years.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still hype for the game, but Iron Man is by far my favorite character in the Marvel Universe and it's lame to constantly seem him get dissed like this.
There's going to be an extended trailer with two new characters during their Capcom Cup broadcast tomorrow.
Another question, did you get an idea as to how big the roster will be? And while the quote of what Marvel characters can be used does aspire some hope, why wasn't Marvel straight-up when asked a similar question by Game Informer?
Also, the game being "super-early" kinda conflicts with the 2017 release, even if it's Late 2017.
