This is definitely looking good, and I'm liking most of those gameplay details too.

Can't believe I'm up on this game after all the doubt. Looking at the combos now, it still definitely has a team aspect and synergy will still play a huge deal, which is all that I ask of an MvC game (even though, yeah, previous titles have had more of that).

Bring it on.

Spoiler

And by "it" I mean character artwork

 

[Dahbomb]

Easy Hyper Combo is Hard Kick/Punch.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

50+ playable characters confirmed!

Spoiler

I hope

 

[NotLiquid]

Ayyyy light/heavy punch/kick layout is back?

 

[Wallach]

Yeah. It's fugly as hell. Remember the reaction to 3D KoF? It looks that bad. Even if it's great fun, visually every other fighting game, Injustice, Tekken, Guilty Gear, hell even SFV looks better.

Nothing looks worse than the latest KOF. It's not even close to that.

 

[Quesa]

but does that mean the build had the regular DP input removed as well?

Build I played had Ryu using regular DP motions.

 

[HardRojo]

If they're really going this route then I hope they do offer Easy and Normal inputs selection.

 

[beyond_death]

Now that is way more hype than the CG trailer they released.

You can mash light punch to do a ground combo that leads into an air combo - and if you keep mashing light punch you'll do an air combo that slams your enemy into the ground. Simply by mashing light punch, you can trigger an eight-hit or so combo that in previous games would have taken at least a few different button presses, a press of the air combo button, a button press to chase your opponent into the air and a few more presses of different buttons for an air combo. Now, you literally mash light punch and the game takes care of the rest.

You can now do a level one hyper combo by pressing just two buttons.
There's more. MvCI has a universal combo string designed to offer newcomers an easy entry into the world of manual input commands. Pressing light punch, light kick, heavy kick and then down heavy punch does a ground combo that launches your opponent into the air. The idea is that you roll your thumb around the face buttons of the console controller. It's a diamond shape across the pad that newcomers can rely upon because it works for all the characters.

Outside of Auto Combo all this was in MvC3.

 

[Penguin]

That sound mix was terrible.

But game is looking solid.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Does Ultron have a flight mode? Looks like he hovers right after the Shame Cage part starts. It might be a taunt.

 

[DR2K]

50+ playable characters confirmed!

Spoiler

I hope

I think 50 is reasonable considering most of the character work was already done in UMVC3.

 

[jack_package_200]

Ultron looks awesome

I look forward to the next batch of reveals that come hopefully at E3

 

[TheSpoiler]

Yeah there's a big disconnect here. Either people didn't do them correctly, or the builds are different.

All of these sound good to me

We Persona now

 

[SargerusBR]

lmao Ultron even has Iron Man's Repulse Blaster animation.

 

[Hazzuh]

The game looks ugly but the gameplay looks OK so far. Cautiously optimistic but I'm definitely not buying this day 1 after SFV.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Yet they already have a release date lol.

The graphics are bad, the colours look washed out, the stages and backgrounds look so boring, the faces with the dead eyes are just hideous yet again they already have a set release date which is only 5 months away!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I need to make money on RyceWasRight shirts.

Build I played had Ryu using regular DP motions.

Multiple builds probably

 

[kirblar]

Yeah there's a big disconnect here. Either people didn't do them correctly, or the builds are different.

DDDP has to be a shortcut.

Ian tweeted that Combofiend specifically mentioned Ryu DP change and says they are still deciding on that.

 

[creatchee]

Space Stone looks pretty great.

Space Stone could be the perfect counter to Morrigan's Astral Vision - especially for less mobile characters.

[sixteen-bit]

Game looks fun. Hopefully they can tighten up the art assets before it launches tho. Not confident they will.

 

[Seven Force]

Outside of Auto Combo all this was in MvC3.

I popped in MSHvSF and MvC1 in easy operation mode yesterday as well, and it functioned similarly. Mash lp for an auto combo string, lp + lk to launch and mash lp or lk for an aerial rave, and mp + hp or mk + hk to do a hyper combo.

So it's pretty much nearly the same in Infinite as it's always been.

 

[Dahbomb]

Outside of Auto Combo all this was in MvC3.

Auto combo was also in Marvel 3 if you played on Simple mode.

Simple Hypers were done by mashing H. Simple Specials were done by mashing M.

 

[BronsonLee]

'two hour story mode' according to Kotaku

wow such content

 

[Gbraga]

YOOOOOO

Can you imagine Magneto with the Space Stone? It's RESET CITY.

 

[LiK]

Need another Max Reacts

 

[TheSpoiler]

So DPs are in, just not for Ryu in the build because they were still deciding that. Ryce's source redeemed, although John D should have clarified that it was only one character with the change.

 

[JayEH]

YOOOOOO

I need to first imagine Magneto in this game.

 

[Sou Da]

it should've been Leon not tree trunk arms

2SKINNY4MARVEL

 

[Smo21]

The dp thing is just a shortcut. Like how df, df P is dp in Sf4 and V

Advancing guard reflects projectiles now

 

[DaytimeWhiskey]

Slightly disappointed no footage of X or Racoon or even teasers for the next reveal. But footage was good, game looks like MvC, feed me more. Loving Ultron

 

[ElFly]

Build I played had Ryu using regular DP motions.

uh, guess they won't want to mess with that

but everyone else is prolly fair game

 

[PadWarrior]

I'm liking the control set up.

'two hour story mode' according to Kotaku

wow such content

It's the same length as a Marvel movie!

HYPE!

 

[NotLiquid]

So what exactly happens once Hulk tags into Chun-Li's Hyper? That doesn't look like a traditional DHC, does Hulk actually do a regular attack?

So let me get this straight - is it possible that you can actually tag your second character in while doing a hyper combo to fuck around during your partner's non-cinematic Hyper? If so, holy fuck.

 

[LiK]

'two hour story mode' according to Kotaku

wow such content

If it's like SFV Story Mode, it's probably bad.

 

[SargerusBR]

 

[ZeroCDR]

Looking great, love that DHC's are still in but expanded even further. I'm feeling so much better about this.

 

[Shredderi]

Didn't fighting games used to be at the forefront of visual fidelity regarding character models, for very logical reasons (not having to render large levels, physics for objects, AI for many npc characters). Why does that not seem to be the case anymore?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

At least it's in the game and not dlc

 

[BadWolf]

Better have a solid challenge/mission mode or it will be SFV all over again.

Yes, that's exactly what's happening. Hulk tags in mid super and charges his back heavy punch from UMVC3

Yup! Or you can traditionally DHC.

Opens up so many possibilities. You can do it during cinematic hypers too, based on the B-Roll that leaked the other day IIRC.

Yeah, but bullet hell is still bullet hell.

Looks like it. One article also mentions tagging after a beam hyper and being able to run in behind the projectile. That's a bit closer to MvC3 style mix-ups where your assist is holding them down while you go for an attack.

 

[Mentosrock]

Wow, reading about the accessibility of this one is an absolute game changer for me. The past games looked way too intense for me to even attempt to get into, but the ease of combo-ing sounds like an incredible change.

Because 3D.
