At this point in time, the visuals really don't do much for me at all. It doesn't quite look stylized enough to evoke a comic book style, and it doesn't quite look realistic enough to feel like its drawing inspiration from the MCU (vibrant interpretation of reality). It just looks kinda like a bland, characterless visual style... Kind of a bummer.
As a filthy casual, though, I do concede that it looks fun to play and that's important, but also as a filthy casual, I feel like all of its predecessors managed to do something far more interesting visually. That Thor model just looks bad -- the costume choice is fine, but his face and kinda stumpy bodily proportions look horrible in that visual style.

'EASY HYPER COMBO' at the end of the gameplay vid. I'm guessing you can probably mash one button for a lvl 1 super ala KOF XIV...or supers are mapped to a button or whatever. :|
Eh I'll hold out hope it's just an optional 'easy mode' and all the traditional DP motions and such are in tact.

I'm not the only one that noticed it. A lot of UMVC3 heads pointing it out as well on twitter. If you disagree feel free to compare videos of the two games.
Something looks very off about hit animations right now.

It's definitely a weird fusion. Raw tags seem like they could function as assists, and Ultron clearly has assist-inspired design. But outside that, the neutral game looks like it could/should be more like MvC1. It's hard to tell from the video, because it's mostly combo and shenanigans focused.

graphics will be defended on the grounds that lots of stuff is going on, but this looks like it could nearly run on PS3 to me. We're getting this the same year as Tekken 7 and Injustice 2?
jarring
Yeah graphically they're definitely sitting in last place compared to those two titles.
Which is interesting considering the study just a few weeks ago that said graphics are a like 80% of why people will buy games.

Guys and about the graphics it might just be the awful youtube compression and quality of the video that makes it look so bad.
Let's hope the actual game looks more like this:
Yeh I hope so, but it seems kind of far off right now.

How anyone can stand Chun's English voice in SF4 and V I don't understand. This is the first time it's sounded tolerable.

Injustice 2 looks better but Marvel's animations will always make it look better than NetherRealm's floaty, weightless looking movement.

Yeah what's up with that mechanic
She got a lot better in SFV.
Eh... I agree that MvCI animation is better than IJ2 animation, but I don't agree that the result is MvCI looking better. It definitely looks worse.

Yo what the fuck
Marvel has Combo Breakers now?
This is a game changer
this was kind of present in MvC3 prealpha builds and was scrapped out, still are videos with that feature over youtube, when someone guessed right the team aerial counter, but the difference was that you straight got the aerial rave in mvc3 alpha builds, now here you get free tag, no free hit and posible that if done not in time the attacker can still hit both characters, or it seems that would be possible

Let's hope for a toggle to get that chromatic aberration off

OK the gameplay definitely looks better than I expected with all the dumbed down systems and execution talk.
Might actually get this day one now!

Really? Really?
The hyperbole on this topic is so freaking thick, I swear.
You mean this?

The high res screenshots to me don't look all that bad and they've already polished the lighting of the game up since the December reveal. If they keep improving it to make it as good as the Asgard highway stage, I feel MvCI will be so much more of a satisfying game to look at.
You were always going to get it day one.
You gotta link? I believe you, been preaching it for years, I just would like a link

What??
Yep, no matter how pretty NRS make their games look, their fucking bland, jittery and sturdy animations kill any interest I could have in those titles.

I think game has a bit of that type of movement

Thanks for correcting me on that. I rarely played as Chun Li in MVC so I wouldn't have know that.

It looks like your point character will finish their move before leaving after you tag in. It's not the same as assists, but it looks like tag will have some use in neutral for mix-ups and team synergy will matter.
Very interesting and quite gamechanging. In a way it can function like a custom assist, I don't see any resources spent but I am curious abiut the cooldown and risk of an active switch. I think this game has potential to be quite crazy once we dive into it.

It was one of the first things I saw in MvC1 back in the day. Thought it was pretty sweet they finally gave her an air super at the time.

Injustice 2 is the new king of fighting games when it comes to facial expressions.
That statement is a little hyperbole, but stylistically, this game looks like a step back from 3.
NRS fighters all feel like extensions of MK characters in animation and movement. I'm sure IJ2 will be great but for me, personally, they don't feel like the characters they're supposed to represent. They all feel like MK characters given slightly different movesets.
Capcom games feel like I'm playing the comic characters. Never get that feeling in Injustice.
