Nah this shit was rough as fuck for the first several hours. For me I think it has to do with looking at the characters and still thinking of mvc3. Trying to play with Dante was a goddamn nightmare. As soon as I decided to play as only new characters it became much easier. Now I can play with whoever. Some of the command normals still mess me up though.
Ahhh ok, got it. Might have to go look up those matches.

I mean it's sad when Tekken gets Akuma and MVC doesn't.

I'm playing through story and I just..... don't care. 
Mission mode is my story mode. They're surprisingly not that hard SO FAR compared to mvc3. At least Ultron and Thanos 1-10 felt 'do-able'. I'm breezing through everyone's 1-5 first. Then I'll go back and really focus on their harder ones. I'm sure there's gotta be some fucking impossible ones in there.
Still trying to find my mains.

They're mostly just memorizing the long combos, only thing that I ran into which was a little bit trickier than just memorizing a long string are Morrigan's last two, I think.I'm playing through story and I just..... don't care.

Well nah, it's a bit weird at first using a Marvel 3 character with a Marvel 2 layout even if I played like every other fighting game. Especially if you mained those characters. That isn't a Marvel 3 vet problem, that happens with any fighting game that has moveset/balance changes between entries. Add a new control layout and it's no surprise some Marvel 3 vets are taking a little longer to adjust.
But my point was more of addressing LMHS vs LP LK HP HK.
No, this game really doesn't need Akuma
They really should have given Ryu his form change to Ken and Akuma from MvC1.

Every game needs Akuma.
Was there any discussion about the lack of JP voices before launch? I know I didn't see much talk in general about it over here but we knew for a while there wouldn't be any.
Probably isn't worth patching them in later with the sales.
It's a tradition. But hey, he's just a function after all so no biggie.
why can Jedah do 2 OTGs, first after the bnb scythe combo into launcher into spinny super, they fall and you OTG into the orb grab, and then you can STILL do his floor pull super which is OTG.
Meanwhile, if I do a Ghost Rider normal combo, otg into launcher and spike them, I cant OTG with bike for example.

And then we get Akuma as Oni.
I am entirely perplexed about the system too. Zero can do his air qcf+hk and thr icicle for two pickups as well
They're letting the DS fans eat a little after Resurrection bomba.
I mean he's missed games before and he Literially is one that's already covered. Dunno why they don't give try the mvc1 supers tho
Also the difference between jedah bnb starting with air hk and omitting air hk is 1200 more dmg in the former's favor! Very confusing
I still don't fully understand the combo system either. I'm happy Strider's heavy gram > form B loop is there, but it seems to break the rules they established for combo limitations.
I 100% agree with you that magic series in marvel 3 (LMHS j.MMHS super) was more intuitive as the basic universal beginner combo, especially on a stick where you just kind of piano across the buttons in a natural 1, 2, 3, 4 order. Infinite's basic combos do have the positive of the new magic series actually doing decent damage seemingly universally across the cast, unlike marvel 3 where some characters could do totally acceptable damage with their basic magic series combo (Skrull, Dorm, etc.) while for other characters it was terrible either having horrific damage, not functioning without significant modification, or both (Jill, Shuma, etc.). Marvel 3's button layout/magic series system in a game where every character could get damage from said combo around 70% of their optimized bnb damage would be pretty perfect, IMO.

Darkstalkers are not dead after all
This is the struggle with fighting games (probably one of the reasons my friends refuse to play any fighter other than Smash and Tekken, it's the only ones they know), but don't care about it too much.

He could negate projectiles on UMvC3 too. It's a fine feature for him to have. Extremely hard to make use of.

I actually think this is pretty cool, the Dorm must have pretty on point reactions to do it on the spot. Vergil also cut projectiles in UMVC3. I think Hakumen from Blazblue cuts projectiles the best, he leaves a void where it was cut so it lingers around to cover him.

I wish Hakumen could hit them like Venom hits his pool balls.
This.
They'd rather just remove Ryu's ability to aim Shinku Hadoken after use.

Can't wait to buy this for 20$, be bad at it, lose to Rhaknar and Jaw, blame Doctrine Dark, then throw my TV out the window
I thought some hobo stole your tv?

Why not throw your TV out now and save $20?
I've been playing between work. Very easy to learn, I kinda feel like it's actually easier to learn than MvC3. Just harder to master because you can't just focus on learning your characters, combos, and fundamentals. You need to know how your characters work in conjunction with the tag system and stones, and how to respond to your opponents who have the same options. In MvC3, you had three characters, but you had less to focus on imo, you knew there were two assists. With the tag sister in Infinite, having to anticipate tags and setups is harder.

If I get blamed for the losses, I better get credit for the victories.

Never give up, I've made some comebacks with one character, no infinity storm in this game because opponents are human and make mistakes.Strange summoned a bit too much power here methinks

I kinda think that this game would have benefited greatly from casual modes with an emphasis on teaching.
Like imagine a mode where 1 team can only block and another has to open them up, 5 rounds with a 10 sec limit, could be a fun minigame + teaches you more essential skills than mission mode

I'm on PST currently, but I'm packing for Seattle tonight and leaving tomorrow so I probably won't be able to play at all this weekend until I get back on Sunday night.
Barely been able to play any matches so I wanna try my whack ass skills with my team and get smacked up until I know what I'm doing.

No it overheated but I fixed it because I am incredible (and the weather calmed down)
I wanna experience it first!
The roster was garbage and it looked like butt, SF5 burned me so I don't pre-order games anymore
Of course not
Been ranking up and down between 13 and 12 alll night yesterday. Got destoyed by a few Zero players. I need to learn to play that character, enough at least to know wtf is going on.
Also played a Hawkeye that was pretty dang impressive. I don't like the look of that character, but the guy I played had some good zoning going on. He would open me up from fullscreen with Hawkeye into a tag combo with Spidey.

Here's a gif of the Superior Spiderman costume doing a level 3 https://imgur.com/JF93qRP
Wonder how much more it would have sold in Japan if it had more than 4 female characters! Would love to see a post mortem about this game, where did it all go wrong?!
Gif him taking Frank West level 3 pls. :3
