Yass we did it. As a bonus turning AA down to mid allows my meager PC to run the game at 1440p.

1080p, all options at max, CA enabled

1440p downsampled to 1080p, AA at medium, CA disabled

In all honesty it's turning AA down that makes the biggest difference, the application of CA in this game is relatively mild compared to other games I've seen.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the use of CA was toned down compared to the story demo build.

man this game is soooo not Casual friendly. I think I won 1 out of 8 matches tonight. So I forgot what I liked bout IJ2 and GG Xrd those games have combo breakers / bounce cancels. But since this game doesn't have any if I get caught up in a tag team combo I'm like grrr this is frustrating I'm not seeing much defense options here.

And without frame data I'm not certain what moves are 'safe'. It makes it super hard to learn a new character quick. Like with Dormanu or whatever was trying to run him some but it felt like every move I did got punished.

Also not sure if my inputs are lagging or what. I'm just getting caught by a lot of stuff.

Anyways back to IJ2 multiplayer for rest of the night I guess. I'll try watching some more videos for this game but I'm way too used to NRS fighters it seems

I thought that Switch Cancel, which functions as a combo breaker, is done by holding down the tag button while getting hit and costs two bars.

Hold down Tag while getting combo'd to do a break. Cost 2 meters.

Dante is not hard to use at all.

Agreed. I use Dante and I don't use high execution characters.

Anyone have a link to socal top 8?

He is hard to use well. Lots of moves you have to learn about, bold cancel/jump, his style cancels etc.

At the lower level any character is easy if you are just doing ABC stuff. I am talking about going from that level to competency.

At the same time though I've been playing fighting games for a long time, it's easy for me to pick things up.

Welcome back to Marvel! Get ready to want to simultaneously backhand it and make love to it.

A few things I would recommend...

-Don't be afraid to use the auto combo for a while. It jumps you into having some fun rather than just making you flail your limbs. If you do use them, pay attention to how your character's moves flow as you do. It can help you accustomed to the rythym of the magic series. But you will want to move on from them sooner than later.

-Play the story/some arcade runs. The story is cheesy and hell and generally bad, but it's also kind of awesome. Hard to explain, but it's enjoyable. It and arcade runs will also get you into the rythym of matches a bit and help you learn more about characters.

-Do some low level missions. Most of the low level missions will just be basic special moves and basic magic series combos. Good ways to ease yourself into systems.

-Take Ryu into the training mode. Practice hitting LP,LK,LP,HP,c.HP (launch and then follow them into the air) and do those commands again. Pretty much everything branches off from that.

-Use the tag system, ALOT. Start off by tagging into your 2nd character after that basic air combo I listed above and do the combo again with the 2nd character to extend it. Just like the magic series, use that as a base and go from there, and eventually you'll realize the possibilities that branch off of it.

- Beat the shit out of someone online in a way you probably didn't deserve and relish in it. Then lose in a way you probably didn't deserve and be salty about it. (Seriously though, don't be afraid to fuck with player matches and the beginner's leauge as you're learning. No better way to learn once you're in a match, but I recommend learning at least some fundamentals before going in)

-Scream "IT'S MAHVEL BABY" occasionally.

And you'll be good!

Thanks mang I'll keep what you said in mind. It's really hard to get a feel for combos and links compared to Street Fighter. Seems like I have to input a bunch more buttons per second. :p

I think it's time to adjust my team. I just can't get in with Morrigan and Captain Marvel. Or maybe I can but I'm just playing wrong.
 
What would be the best stone for Jeddah/Arthur?
Time stone is the one I've been gravitating towards, but it only really seems to benefit Arthur.

Did we ever get a google spreadsheet going for PC & PS4 players?

I vastly prefer lobbies to ranked. unlike Injustice (at least in Casual) you cant keep rematching folks unless you're in lobbies

my PSN is sandboxgod. Just include 'gaf' in the invite and I'll add you

So far I got Sinkfla, compbros, and Crackpebble. As far as I'm concerned they are all pro level (I even saw Compbros at CEO). would love to add more gafs for some friendly matches

Will shoot you a friend request. Just to warn you: I'm pretty bad, only had a couple of days in the lab so far. I'm an (apparently very rare) UK player, if that matters.

Yeah but he really gets to benefit from it. And the storm is all right.
I guess Jedah can make use of a quick ground movement option that doesn't leave him in the air. Speaking of, how are you supposed to move with him since I don't think he can wavedash.

I think you can sort of tri-dash with him, although it's slower. 2P acts as a sort of instant air dash since you can't hold it and extend it like you can by inputting F,F. From there, presumably, you can do another 2P to dash in a down-forward direction. I'm not sure, I'd have to check.

Max is talking about the KI trailers he did for IG on his stream and showing the proccess... did this start as some sort of "Capcom fucked up Marvel's PR big time" talk lol?

This makes me feel all fuzzy inside lol. Thank you. Now if only I can get my old ass to a real life tourney.
 
Random question: I know very little about this game but I've been a big fan of Capcom's VS games dating back to X-men Vs Street Fighter. I really didn't like Street Fighter X Tekken and Marvel Vs Capcom 3 but I loved Tatsunoko Vs Capcom... is Infinite something I should check out? The little I've seen and heard about this game has not done much to peak my interest in it but I'm still a little interested just because of my history with this series.

I have a weird problem with meter... I barely use it. I never have setups with Hulk to use it for example, its weird. I use it more with Ghost Rider. Trying to pick up Hawkeye because its fun to spam different arrows, and at least Gimlet is a good hyper that links to pretty much nything (fucking just freeze shot -> Gimlet works for example).

I think its closer to the tatsunoko spectrum than the 3 or SFxTekken spectrum for what its worth.

edit: Max confirmed he will be making Assist Me for Infinite btw.

Loading times on the PC version seem longer than what I've seen of the PS4. What's up with that. At least on my PC, wtf.

Honestly, out of all of Capcom's recent efforts Infinite feels the most like their old stuff. It's far uglier but I found Infinite much more comfortable to get back into.

I wonder if it's possible to mod per-object motion blur into the PC version, like SFV has. Tried to mess around with ini files (imitating SFV's settings) but I'm not really all that familiar with that stuff. This would definitely make the animations look a little nicer.

You would do so well. Man you and CrackedPebble are soooooo good. I like how you have such a diverse set of characters you play.

I need to look up what this means

Sweet! I'm in the NA though so I'm curious what the connection speed would look like. We need for the internet to get faster!!

Something occasionally causes the frame rate to really chug during the vs. screen on my PC, enough that it seems to affect loading times. Seems random though; sometimes I boot the game and it gets through every vs. screen smoothly and loads every match (relatively) quickly.

Possibly a memory leak or some Denuvo fuckery.

There's some weirdness going around for sure.

I never got stuttering during full screen mode like some people reported. Did they patch that one?

Yeah this happened to me too. Wasn't sure if it was my hard drive being weird with caching or something since it was the first time I played the PC version.

Jesus Spencer is so ugly.

Please delete him Capcom.

Every time i see him im like "Why?"

We can only hope that we'll see a return of his classic Rad Spencer DLC outfit.

I have no idea what else they could do for a DLC outfit for him to be honest. Maybe ReArmed 2 Spencer with the porn-stache? That'd be cool. Anything's better than 09 Spencer.
 
Working on some last resort level 1 Flank West solo combos, and I'm running into all kinds of issues with the combo engine. It feels like I should be able to get to level 4 Flank in one solo combo, but all kinds of stuff like the game camera messes with it. Also, wallbounces not being guaranteed knockdowns really weirds me out. I wish there was a brady guide or something that had full breakdowns on the combo properties.

You can get like 4 batswings in the corner with level 1 Flank, but when are you ever gonna corner someone with baby Flank

It shoulda been Stache Spencer for sure.

I'm still having a hard time deciding on a team. I've been running Spider-Man for sure, but also Captain Marvel, Thanos, and Gamora. It seems like everyone is running Gamora however, and there's something about playing her that just feels kinda scummy with those full screen confirms into combos. Plus I like the idea of finally playing someone that requires some execution for flight combos and stuff. I think it's between Captain Marvel and Thanos.

...at least until Monster Hunter and Venom come out. :p

is there any worse feeling than losing your winning streak to a guy spamming projectiles with Morrigan when you know you should be better than to lose to that sort of strategy?

It was the 5th win i needed for the trophy D:
