Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Characters and Stages Roster Discussion Thread

I'm wondering if Rocket is actually "Rocket and Groot" as a single character, similar to Duck Hunt in Smash Bros. Two characters with one moveset that incorporates moves from both.
 
Would be cool if Groot can take damage separately, get reduced to Baby Groot, and have that switch up the moveset (and it would be cool if the hyper switched such that groot was now on Rocket's shoulder, a-la what they've done in the Guardians movies). And then Groot grows again over the course of the match. Probably too much work though.
 
Wow I dislike this voice, I didn't even like Bradley Cooper when i first saw GoTG because I was so used to Rockets UMVC3 voice.
 
I really hope they don't get change Spiderman's va to Drake Bell.

Josh Keaton or Yuri Lowenthal would be way better.

? MvC3 had some nice shoutouts to character lores etc. like Deadpool making fun of Mags by quipping about the Konami arcade game. Ryu bringing up his fear of spiders, to name a few.

I dunno, man. Memes, in-jokes and trivia tidbits are one thing. But at best, I can say that it's very inconsistent with how the character portrayals themselves go.

Like I've been saying: when you have a character like Morrigan, and just play up the obvious "sexy temptress succubus" angle...but overlook that's she's Demon World nobility that's gotten into fights with cosmic level threats and superdemons before, such that she has NO quips for the likes of Dormmamu, Doom, Team DMC, Arthur or Firebrand? Missed opportunity, especially considering how she even likened Onslaught to "one of Pyron's little friends" back in MvC1. Yet, on the other hand, you have characters like Trish or Firebrand who at least make vague references to her standing. It's uneven.

And there's others that I think fall flat in this same way. Zero's quotes in MvC3, compared to TvC, at the very least, come off pretty underwhelming. It would have been a nice call forward/foreshadowing for this game, if, for example, Zero wanted to "compare notes" with Iron Man (or hell, any Avenger) regarding Ultron and Sigma. Or anything compelling as far as interactions between him and Strider, considering all the comparisons that existed between the two for years.

If I see a bit more in that vein, I'll be happy.
 
Deadpool and Taskmaster are supposed to be bitter enemies with each other, right? I was really surprised how in MVC3 they had little to no interaction with each other. Taskmaster has a unique win-quote about DP killing his students or something, but that was it.

I wouldn't really describe them as "bitter enemies." They're more like rivals.

Ultimate Spider-Man ended already, so the odds of that aren't that great. That said, I'm 50/50 on the likelihood of Josh Keaton coming back (though to be fair, they stuck with Iron Man's EMH/UMvC3 VA, so there's hope).

As for Rocket, I was able to find 2 things...
  • Rocket rides Groot in-game beyond the hyper shown in the video.

  • Rocket still has a variation of his UMvC3 laser pistol, which could indicate that some of his ranged normals may return.

The hyper flash is active already in your first screenshot. That means he's already in the hyper, and he could just be part of the starting animation. Groot could be an install too, but you can't tell.
 
Is a super animation gameplay? We didn't see the first hit of the Super or an idle animation, can this hit full screen? Does groot initiate the hit? Does rocket?

I can't wait to see more. So hype!
 
While I don't care too much about the graphics, I really hope Capcom addresses them. It seems like there will continuously be an overwhelming amount of disdain towards them every time something Marvel related is announced. It just seems like there's no optimism about the game outside of this topic.

Well, I could see why they are going with MCU style since the customers and movie fans are more familiar with the style and product so if they see the games with their familiar appearances then they would buy the game.

People who are being outright negative about graphic might be in minority but I'm very curious about it's sales potential so it's going to be very interesting to see if the graphic would affect the sales or not.
 
The more I look at the new teaser, the more im on the side that rocket and groot are one playable character together. The way that hyper is, I'd say rocket is always on his back.
 
I'm actually more excited at the idea that Rocket and Groot will be playable together rather than the latter just being for assists. Sounds a lot more interesting.
 
Here is another small reason why I'd say he always rides on his back. When the hyper first starts, he has his laser gun and it is never used. Its almost as if thats the way he default looks before switching guns in the hyper.

EDIT: On more speculation, I see that the hyper skips. Meaning we could be missing a nice little chunk of the whole hyper. So i'll hold off speculation. Not much to go on if something seems to be missing.

For real. I can't imagine they didn't see the "it looks like a mobile game" criticism coming. They can't afford negativity around the launch of a big fighting game at this point.

Should throw one of those shaders on it like that dude who shopped the Hawkeye screenshot, at the very least.

I love how they're low key still including assists with certain characters.

They don't need to keep adding assists to characters lol.

Tag system is like a reverse assist. Your point character is the assist which is supporting the character in reserve. Once you rewire your brain to understand that, then you realize that the sky becomes the limit with the system.

Iron Man does Unibeam, tags to Strider on start up, Strider does teleport command on entering for a mix up/free get in.

Chun Li does SBK to get in (horizontal) and tags on start up, SBK locks them down while getting on the opponent and your tag in characters gets a mix up/pressure.

Chris does Magnum and tags an opponent, tag into Hawkeye, does Dead Arrow into full combo (will work with every combo for big damage, probably why they are making Magnum a resource as it gives Chris a potential death combo from full screen).

This also works for aerial moves now so now you can use aerial moves as assists. Iron Man does Smart Bombs from super jump height and tags into partner, if Smart Bombs hit then you get a free combo.

Every Hyper is a threat now because say you do random Hyper Charging Star with Captain America, tag into a full combo on hit.



There will be no lack of degenerate stuff in this game. Every character will be a threat anywhere on the screen. Just about anything can be turned into a combo especially with a universal OTG system.

Can't wait until the pros get their hands on this, I already know all the Marvel heads be like...

Yeah in all honesty the amount of scorn the game gets every time it's brought up is really dampening my enjoyment of, like, actually trying to be excited for it here.

It's going to get hate that it's not like MvC3, or MvC2, or MvC, or etc,...

Still, I think most people have been pretty positive on the gameplay aspect it seems.
