Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite announced (PC/XB1/PS4, 2017) [Update: Info In OP]
- Thread starter enzo_gt
- Start date
It's more likely we'll see some quirkier picks immediately after some obvious choices in the reveal. Like how we got Deadpool last time.

What? No, Chun Li was revealed like a year in advance, she was revealed alongside Trish Skrull and Doom

Time for Leon vs Groot!
While I am happy that they're getting some of the UMvC3 VAs to come back (hopefully that includes Josh Keaton as Spidey), I'm not really expecting Greg Ellis to come back as Rocket. Now don't get me wrong, I loved Greg Ellis' performance as Rocket, it's just a far-cry from the MCU performance to where I could see him getting swapped out for Trevor Devall to better line up with the MCU. At least in the case of Loomis, Keaton, or even Bloom, they aren't that far off from the performances given by their MCU counterparts.

Out of all the MvC3 cast, I can't see Keaton coming back as Spidey. I'm just reminded how they switched out Keaton with Bell at the last minute when Spider-Man appeared on EMH.
But at the same time, Ultimate Spider-Man is getting cancelled, soon.

Is there any FG with zero in it and he's not top tier?

Then that all depends on whether that new Sperman show still has Bell or someone different. Unless Keaton has been dropping hints he gets to reprise the role.
*searches*
He was top-tier in SvC, TvC, MvC3, & UMvC3. Yup, you're right.
I wouldn't be surprised if Bell was dropped at this point.
Nice balance would be two female characters.
I have a great feeling about this game and its roster.
- Game Informer interview sounds like X-Men and F4 aren't off limits? I'm sure they'll be DLC if they're not there Day 1.
- No assist characters means we don't have to worry about characters like Arthur or Haggar from the last game being demoted and staying that way through the game's lifespan.
- I know for a fact Spencer is in the game, which I think bodes well for other obscure Capcom characters.
I don't think this game is going to disappoint anyone as long as we keep an open mind.

Well I'm going off the typical fighting roster. Where it's two males for every female usually.

To fair the voice work of this was probably done months ago.
Also, you write about Grey Delise being Carol. Probably heard Jennifer because I had low volume.
Would love to have Spider Gwen as her own character, but most likely we'll get her and Miles as alts.
Miles has the best shot at being his own character. Hell, that almost ended up being the case for UMvC3. Spider-Gwen on the other hand may just be an alt for Peter.
Still have such mixed feelings about this.
I have no issues with how it looks graphically. I think it looks pretty good and it will only get better as time goes on. (In fact, I think it's kind of silly that people are calling it ugly, but opinions and tastes and all that stuff.) And it does look like it will be fun, but..
The lack of assists still bothers me. Assist gameplay is THE defining thing about MvC games, imo. And to see it completely gone is just...jarring. As others have said already, it looks way more like a TvC2 than a Marvel game. I have no doubt it will be a blast to play, but it just isn't what I was expecting (or wanting) out of a new Marvel.
That all being said, while rewatching the trailer again it hit me that all four characters were basically playing the exact same way. All short range rush down combos ending in a super. You don't really get to see any different sort of play styles, and I think seeing those from other characters as time goes on will give a much better idea of what this game will be like.

Technically he's god tier in SvC

But what were the tier lists for Onimusha Blade Warriors, hmm?
...
According to a quick search he was top tier in that too.

Probably not at launch. There's a spiderman film next year so we may see a villain from that film day 1.
At worst we'll probably just get an inspired color for both.

Give me Ms Marvel tonight, and, I dunno, Evil Ryu? I just want Kamala

THE DREADLOCKS AND WIFEARM RETURN
Kamala would be amazing.
I hope its not all MCU focused. Howey the duck, Squirrel Girl and Kamala would be ace picks.

I mean I'd say the same thing about Ryu when we have Akuma as well tbh
Dude, I'm so happy right now. I had a bunch of old friends over last night to watch Capcup. Friends I've been playing games with since CotA. We were all so happy after seeing the trailer.
I'm still happy. Can't wait!
And a PC version? Fuck. Yes.

I really want to play this game on the Nintendo Switch. I've been watching lots of big Marvel movies recently and been playing some of Capcom's IPs I have not played and really interested in trying this out. Plus, the SF5 meta I watched yesterday got me really interested to try more competitive fighters, I want this to be my first.

Leaving out the first female fighter of all time, let alone the first female fighter of Street Fighter?
Not happening.

Kick his ass out too
Reveal he's a Skrull or some bullshit, I don't give a fuck
Nobody likes her in Marvel tho!

Howard is a MCU character!
Yo maybe that's how the extended trailer tonight ends
Oh cool. I know it's greedy since the game just got revealed yesterday but I hope they announce another character for both sides.
Not a thing. :[
The only things I knew were that we were seeing the game yesterday and that UMvC3 was coming to PS4, and the only thing I know that hasnt been revealed yet is that Spencer is a playable character.

If MVC3 was any indication, they'll always reveal characters in Capcom/Marvel pairs

This game is being made by Capcom USA?
I mean yeah, technically. Is he gonna have a bigger role in Guardians 2? Because that would be cool.
Aw damn, got a super early shift tomorrow so staying up to watch would be a bad idea but I can't resist! I wanna see an "actual" match in action.
What don't you like about it exactly?
Can't say no to the First Lady bro!
It's not hand-drawn sprites like 1999 of course.
Ryu needs work, everyone else looks pretty good. I'll be here day 1.
The problem was that it was all choreographed gameplay, I'd love to see an actual match with the HUD and everything before I start really dissecting it.
