I thought we agreed on $5, since the season pass is $30?
6 X 5 = 30 and we consider the costumes the season pass freebie.
6 X 6 = $36 so the season pass not only would have free costumes but be cheaper than the seperate characters? Not sure about that.

I thought there was one too, but maybe it was just in the regular thread.
man that quote is old as shit, seems like forever ago. That was around the same time as the "roster will be huge" quote isnt it?
but yeha thats the quote many people use as "proof" that there will be a ton of dlc... we'll see I guess.
im excited, but im so fucking tired lately, im mainly excited because it coincides with 2 weeks off work, and in my mind its "oh Marvel is out? that means im off work finally jesus christ let me rest plese I just want some sleep leave me alone worls"
im tired fam
but yeah im excited lol. I have long taken a "it is what it is" approach with what we are getting so, you know, no point in continuing to think about "what could have been".
This is a good pr response to the x men question. Too bad marvel didn't brief combofiend...
Quote's from June.
The "huge roster" thing was from last year, I think.
Seriously, how do you go into an interview about MvCI without a gameplan on the lack of X-Men?
really? Could swear there was a "game as service" quote shortly after the announcement. Im off today :/
Was watching a older Max video and he said something that would pretty much be the only solution for some good will towards the game right now, and that is to announce free dlc, like those Marvel 3 characters that didnt make the cut, just make them free dlc and focus on new characters for the paid stuff.
But Capcom is too Japanese to do that. Maybe if it was a indie company or a company that understands western market (like Blizzard for example).
Yeah, that quote was during the surge of news for MvCI after the roster leak.
The "huge roster" thing they were touting since reveal (5:09).
And yeah, they will not offer free DLC characters as a token of goodwill or whatever.
I was tempted to pre order this the other day at Gamestop because that Thor outfit looks really good, but the truth is I am 0 hyped for this at the moment, and there are too many game's out in the same time I'll be messing with.
Do we know if those will be purchasable later on? If this game isn't a bomba, then I may get it for Xmas, but I'd be bummed if there is locked out content simply because I didn't pre order. :/

If they offer free DLC chars it'll be like 6-12 months after the game is out
We don't know if they'll be purchasable in the future. I mean I'd assume so, but then SFV has costumes that can no longer be purchased. So who knows?
not Infinite related but here's a little Marvel
hype for ya
free Ultimte Marvel vs Capcom Infinite update

MCU

I doubt Wolverine will be the only one. Bare minimum would be him, Deadpool, & Doctor Doom as far as Fox characters go. If the strengthened F4 ban impacts MvCI DLC, just remove Doom.

I figured doom would get fucked over. Especially since fox is doing that doom movie and still holding onto Fantastoc Four despite the last failure
The only reason why I'm holding out hope for Doctor Doom (& Super-Skrull) as DLC is because Ryce also mentioned that F4 characters were a done deal for DLC alongside the X-Men, leading me to believe that Capcom made the DLC deal after Marvel eased up on the X-Men ban & before Marvel doubled down on the F4 ban. And while Marvel Heroes was allowed to keep Doctor Doom, keep in mind that Doom was too integrated into the game & its story for him to be simply removed.
Did they? I thought what Ryce said was that X-Men were a done deal?
Ryce's info was from someone hearing shit in tournaments >_>
Yeah that's why I don't put too much stock in it. Sorry Ryce.
This was his exact quote at the time.
To be fair, most of said info panned out.
Sure but it's one thing to hear accurate roster picks from "this guy told this guy told that guy, than DLC plans down the line, I don't see that casually flowing into conversation.

The rumor Max is betting on that X-Men will come next year isn't happening. I love Max but I feel like he's putting way too much faith into what he has heard from devs regarding the X-Men. This is especially concerning since the game's roster is still missing a lot of characters from the MCU like Black Widow. Marvel will probably want to sell that as DLC rather than an X-Men character.
Max's "info" is from the false leaks from months ago. He's just too busy with other shit to properly investigate I guess but he was talking about the "darkstalkers vs F4" DLC and shit on his stream last week and ppl in that were telling him those were debunked.
What makes you say that? The ban for the X-Men characters was likely lifted last October (going by Bill Rosemann's tweet at the time), which would line up timing-wise with MvCI's post-2017 DLC. The real question now is concerning the F4 characters. And while Ryce did hear that the F4 characters would be DLC, we don't know if Marvel doubling down on the F4 ban impacted MvCI's future DLC plans as well.
That said, the whole themed DLC packs thing came from Riku, who we know is talking out of his ass.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
But I already briefed you on exactly same thing like a week ago. You were very dismissive with that article for some reason.
The reason is still the same. Game bombs, they cut their losses and scrap those plans.
I'm sure they have a lot of plans for DLC. Plans are just that...plans, until they happen.
I am eternally negative Intel, sorry.
Fuck yes Marrow!
Lol Marrow, the fuck were they thinking back then
I will, thank you very much.
To be fair, SFV underperformed at launch & Capcom's still sticking by their guns in terms of long-term DLC support for the game. Granted, Marvel being involved does complicate things in terms of profit-splitting, but I'd imagine that MvCI would have to outright bomb for post-2017 DLC plans to be scrapped. And selling 2 million copies in 6 months across 3 platforms sounds pretty reasonable as long as the game reviews well.
I don't think the game will review well :/

A ban being lifted doesn't mean Marvel is gonna wanna flood the market with X-Men games and characters. Including them in F2P mobile is different than advertising them in a big budget game. Things also might get complicated when Fox goes in hard on advertising their X-Men movies next year.
It has all the modes we'd expect from a fighting game (Story, Arcade, Mission w/ tutorials), a solid online feature-set, & solid gameplay. Barring a launch disaster or the story mode being total ass, the only problems I could see critics having are with the game's presentation & the launch roster. The modes in MvCI don't seem that far off from, say, Tekken 7 (a game that critics were satisfied with from a content perspective). That alone would net the game scores that are somewhere in the 7-8/10 territory.
I'm not saying that we'll get entirely X-Men next year. But if we get a pair of characters every other month, I wouldn't be surprised if we got Wolverine, Deadpool, & Doctor Doom next year. Plus them being veterans means that it won't take that long to work on them, meaning that Capcom can act quickly on Marvel's change-of-heart at the time.

There's a high chance it's gonna get ripped apart for it's visuals more so than the roster.
You think Marvel would be ok with a year with only fox characters?
That's included in "presentation" when I mentioned it in my other post. That being said, with some of the most offensive faces already being rectified (Chun-Li's being the biggest culprit), I feel like the visuals would be more passable than terrible. That being said, the visuals not being up to snuff with the others would still dock the game a few point.
That's not what I'm saying at all. When I said a pair of characters every other month, that implies that we'd get 6 Marvel characters & 6 Capcom characters next year. Factoring in the fact that all 3 of the Fox characters I mentioned were MvC3 veterans, getting 12 DLC characters out next year wouldn't be that far-fetched.

It'll be in 60s. Small roster, small throw away story, little new content, no tutorials, convoluted mechanics, basic modes, horrible dlc practice, roster choices, lack of women/doom/X-Men, bad visuals, terrible animations, etc... will all add up. I just can't see a reviewer giving this anything above a 7 regardless of how "fun" the gameplay is.
No it won't, because the visuals complaints are basically a internet meme at this point. No, the game does not look "like garbage", it looks fine. Not amazing by any means mind you, but certainly not like some people want to paint it.
Isn't there a tutorial in Mission Mode? And even then, Tekken 7 didn't get docked for the lack of a tutorial mode.
Reviewers only check how many modes are in a fighting game then base their score off that.
I really don't think capcom is up to the task of creating 12 characters a year but we'll see.
I think keeping expectations at 6 is better given the pattern they're establishing with SFV.
