Uneven. Bizarre.

At least they're actually telling people who they are though, as they should if they're selling them. Do that with SFV from now on.

Now that Venom's out of the way, get working on Green Goblin.

We are hard at work on these characters and can't wait to show them to you when they are ready!

"They aren't on-disc DLC, and they wouldn't have been ready, we swear!"

 

[brian!]

we simply dont know. Its either midnight, or when the store updates tomorow (10am or whatever it is for you guys)



his point still stands.

Not countering a point, just throwing info out

 

[Rhaknar]

Clearly they mean Black Widow from Slammasters II: Ring of Destruction.

See, parity maintained. Everything's fine.

Edit: ^^ See, this guy gets it.

First of all, thats an amazing pull.

Second, that would be the biggest troll move in the history of videogames, can you fucking imagine?

Also, a company is announcing all the DLC in a season pass before the game is officially released... thats kinda noteworthy I think?

 

[sleverfunk]

I should not have any problem right? If my pc can handle SFV on high.

 

[Skilletor]

Wonder if Black Widow decreases the chances of Jill appearing in the game.

Between Gamora and what Black Widow probably plays like, Jill would need a major overhaul not to seem redundant.

 

[ZeroCDR]

Wonder if Black Widow decreases the chances of Jill appearing in the game.

Jill deserves her MvC2 design, so by all means please use that playstyle on Black Widow.

 

[AWizardDidIt]

Well fuck, that's a surprise. Not a bad one, I think Black Widow could be a sick character.

 

[Blueblur1]

What an unceremonious announcement. Capcom USA PR needs a shake-up because those folks are bungling every announcement.

 

[backflip10019]

Is there no review thread for this game?

 

[Weiss]

I'm guessing Black Widow is Season 2 and we still have an unannounced Capcom character.

 

[brian!]

Spoiler

I’m aware, I’m referring to the initial conceptualization of the Monster Hunter.

Oh yeah, wouldnt be surprised but at the same time i cant imagine this being a primary concern of theirs what with how the base roster looks and all.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

And thats exactly why the OT was a dumb choice

 

[Turbanator]

If she looks like ScarJo AoU Widow then fine by me.

But what the fuck is that parity? Why are there four Marvel characters?

This entire game has been unpredictable from day one, for both better and worse.

Edit: Also lol that the official mode listing still makes no mention of online training.

Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite |OT| Marvel vs. Capcom: 6 Female Characters

 

[kurahador]

IGN gave this game 7.7/10, praising the gameplay while criticizing the story and character design --- calling it the worst ever lol.

 

[Spruchy]

i like the ot now cuz its clowny

 

[Durden77]

Awesome that they also confirmed this year. They should all be out by the end of the year. Sweet.

Yeah, really weird that Capcom only get 2 characters, but the list is solid.

It's pretty bad lol. But the gameplay tho...so good

 

[JayEH]

¯\_(&#12484_/¯

I guess it's appropriate the thread title is fucked up for this game.

 

[Rhaknar]

I would make a review thread but im too lazy to keep it updated

 

[DrArchon]

Second, that would be the biggest troll move in the history of videogames, can you fucking imagine?

Tell me about it.

It should totally be Ortega in there. He's so much cooler as a Slam Masters rep.

 

[TheSpoiler]

What an unceremonious announcement. Capcom USA PR needs a shake-up because those folks are bungling every announcement.

Nah, not really. This is more as an informal way of telling people what they are getting in the SP BEFORE the game drops so they can make a call on what they wanna buy. Then they can drop trailers as the weeks go by to keep hype up. Dumping all of the trailers/pics/whatever now leaves people to believe that the characters are already done and is shit marketing.

Still, they could have done outlines like IJ2 and SFV did, but at least we KNOW who they are compared to SFV's weirdly blank DLC stuff.

 

[Jawmuncher]

And thats exactly why the OT was a dumb choice

Nah. Because it's kinda fucked there isn't more on the base roster.

 

[brian!]

Any predictions for how much a character will cost? Missing mah fight money right now

 

[Platy]

We all just got fucking duped hard.

Monster Hunter, Sigma

Black Widow, Venom, Winter Soldier, Black Panther

There's gender parity BUT NO FACTION PARITY
ALL BETS ARE OFF

gender parity ?

Black Widow and Monster Hunter are women
Winter Soldier and Black panther are men
and you are considering Venon and Sigma as other ?

 

[Chase17]

IGN gave this game 7.7/10, praising the gameplay while criticizing the story and character design --- calling it the worst ever lol.

While Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s tag-team fights are like a bolt of lightning from Mjolnir, its story is dreadful and its characters look like they were deliberately designed to spawn a million derpy memes. It manages to be easily one of the worst and also one of the best fighting games in recent memory all at once.

lol

 

[JayEH]

Looks like Gamespot gave it a 8 but it's still a "review in progress"

https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/marvel-vs-capcom-infinite-review-in-progress/1900-6416760/

 

[Turbanator]

GUYS WHAT IF IT'S BLACK WIDOW FROM SATURDAY NIGHT SLAM MASTERS

 

[BadWolf]

Any predictions for how much a character will cost? Missing mah fight money right now

Well if costumes cost the same as SFV ($3.99) then the characters might too.

 

[ZeroCDR]

The story mode sounds so dumb and right up my alley, can't wait.

 

[Jawmuncher]

gender parity ?

Black Widow and Monster Hunter are women
Winter Soldier and Black panther are men

I'm talking in terms of the female characters.

GUYS WHAT IF IT'S BLACK WIDOW FROM SATURDAY NIGHT SLAM MASTERS

I'll take the marvel one thanks

 

[Anth0ny]

next dlc pack:

loki
green goblin
carnage
doc ock
ant man


ammy

 

[Brock Reiher]

I'm okay with them disrupting roster balance to add in more female characters. Not gonna buy for a week or two though to wait and see how the online works out and because I don't want to add to their week 1 numbers for this half baked launch and horrible roster/art style.

No Nick tho despite him being the star of one of Capcoms only consistent franchises nowadays 🙄

 

[Mechazawa]

And thats exactly why the OT was a dumb choice

Ya'll out here acting like these characters won't be out for months and'll cost others more money.

 

[MThanded]

I’m ready to hop back in. I haven’t really been into any fighting games since early days of mvc3 and sf4. Mvci pulling me back in though.

I hope the net code is ok....

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Nah. Because it's kinda fucked there isn't more on the base roster.

It is but its not even accurate

 

[brian!]

I mean like 100% they are saving shit like vergil to make $$$ sfv akuma season 2 style

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Is there a chance they added BW to add more women to the roster?


Also, where's Max with his Gill predictions?

 

[Rhaknar]

what would be a bigger troll move?

Slammasters Black Widow, or Gunrock with a install super that turned him into a big orange rock man...

:3

 

[escapegoat]

Those DLC character choices are so boring!!

 

[BiggNife]

Polygon gave it a 7.5

tl;dr is "It's a solid game but it's super ugly"

Lol Polygon reviews.

Spoiler

But srsly, game is reviewing about evenly with SFV. Not as good as I thought but certainly not a trainwreck.

 

[brian!]

I choose to interpret 7-8.5 scores for this game as "yo this game is fire but due to our outdated as hell rubric of thinking about games we have to give it this score".

Question is if sales will be even worse because people know better, or better because of Marvel.

I choose to interpret 7-8.5 scores for this game as "yo this game is fire but due to our outdated as hell rubric of thinking about games we have to give it this score".

Or "it technically plays well but it's horribly underwhelming".

 

[Fright Zone]

4 Marvel 2 Capcom seems odd.

Black Widow doesn't excite me at all seeing as she'd probably play pretty similarly to existing characters.

I really hope they go deep enough into the DLC to include interesting, non-MCU, oddball characters.

Green Goblin, Sandman, Mysterio, Kamala Khan, Squirrel Girl etc could all have really fun, diverse playstyles instead of yet more rushdown/gun characters.

 

[vg260]

I've got a PC Port Impressions video just in case some of you were on the fence about buying two copies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJs5FTFdcy4

TL;DW: It's great!

Is there a way to disable chromatic aberration?

Have you seen the PS4 version to compare?

 

[Bronx-Man]

My hopes for Season 2:

Leon
Asura
Gill
Jill
Doc Ock
Ant-Man

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Certain parts of the game are on fire alright.

 

[TheSpoiler]

The story mode sounds so dumb and right up my alley, can't wait.

Every fighting game story is fucking dumb. GG was dumb as shit and got TOO anime for my tastes (with a bunch of weird retcons, Slayer able to get dunked on by Bedman? Nah fuck outta here.). INJ2 was probably the best, but the pacing was awful, Supergirl was insufferable, character fights feel like they happen just because (and half the cast is just written off and doesn't do all that much), and both Batman and Superman are insufferable. Tekken was bombastic but only the ending was good - everything else was a forced trainwreck. SFV was a saturday morning cartoon - all fluff and not much substance, taking the good and bad of that.

Fighting game story modes should just focus on providing as much fanservice as possible and dump the pretense that they'll be some heavy handed Bioshock shit. That'll be better for everyone involved.

 

[Turbanator]

Team Hyper Combos when?
