I forgot all about how Major Danvers is a Wave 2 costume. At least we know at minimum we're getting 2 seasons worth of characters....probably.

fixed that for you
Reminds me of people saying Wed be lucky to get another season of characters for sf5.
The costume stuff has me confused.
Is there no Wave 1?
Are the Funko Pop costumes Wave 2? And if so, and those figurines are launching in November, will we get Wave 1 before then?
Also a great marketing opportunity to reveal these costumes slowly, say every few days up until they come out. So of course they won't.

The Funko costumes are Wave 1 (presumably along with costumes for everyone else), and the pre-order costumes are Wave 2.
Major Carol Danvers is Wave 2.
Yeah, but that's currently considered a PS4 exclusive. The wave 1 costumes will likely be available for everyone to purchase (the equivalent of SFV's Battle Outfit 1).
In-game, the default costumes are called "Normal" and the pre-order costumes (and Major Danvers) are called "Wave 2."

The costume selector currently says Default and Wave 2, but no Wave 1
perhaps we'll see Wave 1 added through that large Day 1 patch as costume unlocks...or was that already available?

I absolutely believe we'll get more seasons of characters. Just the costume waves don't have to correlate to the character passes.
In-game
Wave 1 probably coming in 2018.
Someone noted that they haven't said shit about DLC recently, and it's unlikely to be an accident.
Das my joint!
When Wolverine is announced, I want the forest clip from Old Man Logan where he goes full berserker mode and goes through a group of soldier.

Would the DLC character's season pass costumes be Wave 1 or Wave 2?
Having unlockable costumes in the base game would be a great way to 1up the online training mode thing as a WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THIS BEFORE? Probably not happening though.
Hey Dahbomb, been reading up on how online is done in MvCI. Folks are saying what we are seeing now (online) is how it should always be since this game is purely peer-to-peer and not using SFV's CFN (which uses both p2p and server-client networking)
So my point is- if early adopters are seeing great online play now we will still see good online games after official launch.
Ban me if old, I'm watching IJ2 pro series finals so havent been keeping up with thread for few hrs

That's the hope but right now the people doing peer to peer are the people with early access (ie. hardcore FG players with good set ups). When it's out in the wild, you are going to be doing peer to peer against people with wifi internets and garbage PCs who are probably in Brazil.
SFV netcode for me was usually pretty good but it always shit the bed whenever I had to play against a Ken from Brazil on PC. 100% without fail that guy would shit up the connection.

Third command mission color from new gamexplain vid
Tiiiiiight!
Definitely reminds me of Ice Wave. Good call
Spoilers!
Yeah what does 'waves' mean exactly for us casual thread dippers?
I guess Wave 1 == Season 1
Wave 2 === Season 2?
Yeah we better be getting X-men in 2018. This game will really take off once we get high quality X-men models no question in my mind.
I'll be posting daily Dante/Jedah/Haggar vids and tech on my Twitter and YouTube if anyone feels like following.

Ah gotcha!
I hope it works like IJ2-- even in ranked if we see poor connection quality (or wifi), we can bail asap. I'm assuming all fighters work like this though? I've only been playing NRS games a ton online

MVCI OT: X+men
Right now Wave 2 costumes are costumes only available through pre order (X, Hulk, Thor, Ryu) or the PS4 exclusive Major Carol one. So everyone is confused as to what are the wave 1 costumes...
OH!!! Thanks
Yeah one of reasons I wanted PS4 ver of this game is for that Major Carol. I'm one of those comic book geeks that actually collected some of her graphic novels
When Dante gets more optimized, he gets more stylish! Remains the best fighting game character of all time in a VS game:

That swagger!
Looks like 7K for 1 bar is the new benchmark.

I initially didn't want to use Dante to not mess up my UMvC3 Dante but....he just looks so fun in this game.
Dante is looking so gooooood. Watched him get used in some tourneys (Exhibitions?) today
I cant speak on best VS character of all time since I literally havent played this game since the Arcades in the NA (over a decade ago?) but he does look great

Naw, I think Wave 1 is coming in Late 2017, awhile Wave 2 is coming in Early 2018 so we are getting "timed exclusive" costumes for few months.
I meant we already have a character with two costumes at the moment.
Mega Man X
Wave 1 - TrueForm X
Wave 2 - Command Missions
Top 10 Best VS characters of all time:
Dante
Dormammu
Cable
Sentinel (MVC2/COTA, not the MVC3 trash can)
Wecker
MODOK
Strider
Magneto
Storm
Zero (people hate him but he is well realized)
Ruby Heart is cool too but honorable mention for her since she is an original character. A lot of the other VS characters are super half baked or just not really representative of what they could actually do. Thanos has to be bottom tier VS character pre-MVCI for example.

Ruby Heart is a great character, I just really enjoyed her moveset with the waves and the pirate ship super. Would've been really cool if she returns in this game, but probably will never happen.
Pretty similar to my list but I gotta have Phoenix over MODOK. The amount of salt/hype she generated was just too good, and Tokido's Phoenix really felt like the first major MvC3 moment.

What do you mean by best, exactly? Strongest? Most faithfully created?

Anyone think the superior spider man costume will have the arms coming out of the back?
If it does that's an auto homecoming pre order from me.

Faithfully created, fun to play, well realized, suitable for a VS game etc.
Doesn't have to be top tier or strong of course. It's just that a lot of the top tier characters happen to be very robust with the right type of tools for these games.

Honorable mentions to Cyclops, Iceman, Spiral, and Captain Commando.
Default is just called default.
It better, especially when this time around they couldn't even be bothered to change his texturing like they did in MvC3, just swapped the colours.
Doom man. Comon. And I'd say Wolvie too considering he's (was) pretty much the face of the series and has been extremely serious and fun in a good amount of them. I would take out Wesker and either Dorm or MODOK for those two.
Probably take Wesker out first. He had a big spotlight in MvC3 but quickly faded in UMvC3. And he's not THAT exciting of a character. Cool as fuck, but nothing too crazy.
Doom has to be one of the most boring characters to play in the games. He needs a remake badly. Super jumping and spamming Photon Shots is so over done now.
Wecker faded in UMVC3 because other characters were just stronger. But he is still cool as hell and well realized. When you control that silky smooth character, you feel it. Whenever he starts hitting you with the palm strikes, you feel that. Voice acting top notch, visuals top notch.. easy fan favorite.

I found him fun in all of the games. And c'mon, TAC combos with Doom, although played out by now, are just really fun to do.

Spamming hidden missles never got old though

I think it's going to be tough for me to ranking characters so I chose to not do this. There are many excellent characters in this franchise.
Hidden Missiles are wack and TAC combos are making use of an exploit that should never be in the game.
Imagine Doom in this game. Can't use Missiles as an assist, on point Missiles are kinda wack. No TAC combos so no swag Doom combos. No multiple OTGs.
At that point Doom becomes a slower, more boring 8 way air dash character that just sits in the corner and spams Photon Shots.
No one would give a fuck about Doom if he wasn't top tier and if he wasn't such a staple Marvel character. His playstyle is hella stale. People didn't even play him in Vanilla Marvel 3 even though he was good but aside from a few people no one even wanted to play him.

So what? Exploits are what makes VS games fun, lol And some of us like playing lame and spamming.
I'd like to see them give him a different voice set too. They really should for a costume like that.
