But I thought everyone loved Firebrand, universally.
Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Characters and Stages Roster |DT2| oh dear...

I just finished another rousing session of Arcade Mode in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
Neat.
EDIT: Man, Gamora sounds bored.
Well yeah, but the Marvel (Entertainment) brand isn't damaged at all, that's what they were saying.

Those infinity stone supers look like shit and do they have to scream the name of the stone they use over and over?

This actually hurts, no more awesome cheese Cap theme.
It was such a jam! I was terrible with Nova and I still wheeled him out for that theme.
At this point the only way the OST can redeem itself for me is going to the Demon Crest well for Firebrand, which they wont.
To be fair, Marvel was in dire straights at the time. If they hadn't made all of those movie deals, they might not be around today.
Pretty funny because it's usually accurate, but I think the copy paste of the MVC3 characters might hurt the game. (even if they were retooled they'll casually feel like they're copy paste)
The games also comes after Injustice 2 so the story will have to be very convincing.
I feel like fighting games can get away with "bad" story if they're "fun" and crazy, even if short and not super cinematic. So that's what I hope the game has. The demo was a disaster but it's just a demo.
They honestly chose the worst part of the story to demo.

Edit: Watching more matches from Max, they seem to have fixed some of the Hyper combo animation issues. Not all, mind, and they're still lacking in impact due to the lack of certain effects, but at least they fixed up some carry over animations to fit the new Hyper flash.

It's MVC, everyone screams the name of every move

Firebrand was on my main team and I don't even care about him returning. Uninteresting character.
BTW, I know I won't be in CO, but I hope you'll still want to spar online once MvCi comes out.
I don't remember seeing them while I was there! LolI play them

How I wish they added to BC on Xone. I own it on XLA.

They probably would have gone bankrupt and had their assets sold off to the highest bidder and we'd have an even more fragmented Marvel Cinematic Universe. That or Sony/FOX would have just bought every IP at bargain basement prices: Disney Studios was practically dead back then save their distribution deal with PIXAR. So yeah I'm a lot happier it worked out this way even if it makes for a slightly fragmented MCU...X-Men and Avengers in the same universe always seemed weird to me: why the racism just toward mutants and not to magical people? Why didn't the Avengers try and stop the Sentinels and Genosha? Astroid M?...fucking fine.
Fantastic Four needs to be in the MCU though.
Actually, that's false. Marvel were not in danger of bankruptcy when they licensed the movie rights of their characters. They just did.
I play on PS3 occasionally and I am happy to still see a few active lobbies.

Because it's not Wolverine or Leon Kennedy.
Garbage tier change. Marvel doesn't give a single fuck about legacy. Marvel 3's ost wasn't all that great because of how synthy it was but it did keep the old tunes. This is some garbage NRS background noise shit coming from the marvel side that's about anti-hype as it gets.

Some people hated the unblockable stuff from Marvel 3, he's also not the most beloved and recognizable character

Definitely going to check out the book referenced in the thread but the 1996 Chapter 11 Filing is pretty well documented on Google.

Firebrand was already seen as a bit of an odd pick back in the lead-up to UMvC3, when the thirst for X was real. For MvCI his inclusion seems even weirder due to some of the cuts on the Capcom side (Wesker, Joe, Ammy, Vergil) and general unease about the size of the roster. So Firebrand becomes a bit of a pariah in that respect, the "they invited pac-man?" character.

Just got back home, going to put these in bags and boards and file them away. Didn't realize the Utron/Sigma cover had come in as well.
This is going to be the first time I ever buy an entire set of a monthly variant theme from Marvel. I'm not sure why I'm even doing this because I'm not particularly looking forward to the game.

I think the Guardians cover is pretty great, too. That art style's lovely.

This news about the music makes me saddest of all. I love the legacy themes for just about every character from both sides.
Because he wasnt viable at high level play without a gimmic team built around him.
Since much of the prior top tier is missing, maybe he's more viable. He was pretty fun to play with. Who knows

His theme has always been more irritating than cool.
Compare it to another "evil spellcaster" theme via Nine:

Which still isn't as godlike as Iron Tager's:

The Ultron / Sigma cover is wack. Rest are real nice, tho.
The snes beatem up?
I know you meant Marvel Super Heroes, but i'd totally be up for such collection including War of the Gems too!

I recommend that if anyone wants to own these variants that they take a trip to their local comic shop tomorrow when they come out. There's pretty limited quantities (Diamond Comics let you order a certain number based on how many of the actual cover you order), and even though we're a pretty big shop we only got in about 5-6 of each.
They're cover price (some variants are worth more money) and there are some people who just buy variants for speculation so they may be gone right away. You'll probably be able to get them on eBay for cheap but it's cheaper to just buy them off the rack.

How much money are those anyway, I forgot
technically this is only accurate for SF/VSAV chars and marvel side chars
almost no other capcom side char says the correct move names in marvel 3. this is something that's changed in MVCI which is how you get chris redfield saying 'shotgun' or 'hand grenade' when he does the moves instead of 'eat lead' or 'suck it'
this also leads to hawkeye shouting "gimet" which is really something else
there's a lot of unused voice clips for capcom side chars shouting move names in 3 and most of them sound pretty bad (mvci tier, i guess?)
If they're cover price, they should be ~4 USD.
How does that work without the previous assist system exactly?

Bless you Max for doing a great job here. These are dope vids and are legit buoying me and others, I'm sure .
I assume it wont work without assists
blockstring with dante into million dollars, tag into firebrand on startup, charge demon missile
more likely nobody will have unblockable moves though. i didn't see it myself but supposedly they took out the unblockable charged st.H on hulk so i can't imagine they'd leave it in for firebrand as well

Why?
In Marvel 3 I could do a particular air series with Firebrand into hard knockdown and call Dormammu assist while I charged his unblockable - guaranteed.
In MvCi I would be able to do a combo with Dormammu, Dark Hole and tag into Firebrand for the same effect.
Stalking Flare -> tag -> get rekt.
Etc. If he has the unblockable, expect to see it enough to be sick of it. I'd rather they got rid of it, though.
Spider-Man tags out to Captain Marvel while being combo'ed here.
Is that some sort of combo breaker mechanic?

Costs 2 bars - you can tag in your partner while being comboed.
The more matches I see the more I can see strategies being similar to sfxt with abusing as much tagging as possible and preserving red/grey life at all cost.

Do you think they'll change Stalking Flare in any way due to the tag system?

He's hot garbage that shouldn't have made it in UMVC3. He made it into MVCi and the feelings won't change.

When I think upon all the fantastic Capcpom IPs we've seen and all the fresh and unique characters that could be in a Marvel vs Capcom game.
Fucking Firebrand does not make the top 75.
