DLC gonna pull u back in thoim out
Also, nice "True Fan" argument, basically saying that if you play a fighting game casually you're not a "real fan". A "real" fan wouldn't care about characters, right?
A "fan" isn't lesser for caring about characters over gameplay. Get over yourself.
I'd argue the opposite. Gameplay in a videogame would be my biggest priority. I'd honestly be OK with an all-Capcom 28-man roster as long as it plays like Vs. is supposed to.
I haven't seen seen any of their in-game appearances so no. I will say the pattern of old characters getting new moves continues though, there's a Capcom character getting a new tool that sounds like it's going to help him out a lot.
The bolded were already confirmed, though I believe it was mentioned that the Story Mode would be around 2-3 hours.The only characters announced so far (not including DLC Sigma) that I'm pretty certain I'll use are Chris and maybe Hulk and X. What a shit list so far.
In order for the game to not be utterly panned, I think they're a few things that need to be implemented.
- The Story mode should take around 5 or more hours. It also can't be as half-assed as SFV's story mode.
- A tutorial at least on par with In2 with little tutorial vids for each character. SFV actually, eventually, did this so it's not asking for much.
- Challenge mode with at least the bare bones combo challenges.
- Arcade mode.
- Good online options and great netcode.
Maybe then MvC:I would be considered acceptable by most. If it's anything less than I'm expecting a thrashing.
Knowing how lazy Capcom has become, this will probably be the cover of the game. Just like that lazy ass cover for SFV.
We can debate characters, aesthetics and gameplay until we're blue in the face but ultimately my advice to everyone would just be to stay patient and give it a shot. The roster is smaller but personally I'm in love with the new mechanics and there are definitely still enough characters for me to find at least 2 that I really click with. Phoenix Wright and Viewtiful Joe are two of my favorite fictional characters and I'm incredibly bummed that they probably won't be involved in the story mode at all but I'm pretty confident they'll be back at some point before too long.
I mean, paying for a ton of DLC obviously isn't ideal but I don't think we have to worry about the lineup, Capcom did a pretty good job with SFV Season 1 (Alex and Urien were probably the two most requested characters and they were both playable within 6-7 months). The plus side to a ton of cuts and very few newcomers is that at least we have a lot to look forward to later on.
I'm more disappointed that wesker is apparently out and Nemesis is apparently in. I'd be more upset with phoenix wright being cut if pw hadn't been awful in umvc3.
Honestly felt like an eternity for the DLC characters in Season 1 to come out. By the time Urien was in I had given up on the game. If Capcom is relying on post-launch DLC to help expand the roster then they need to get those characters out much quicker, regardless of how unrealistic that may or may not be.

The hell is up with this 2v2 bull shit?Holding back Black Panther to sell him as DLC would be kinda gross to be honest.
But I don't mind the "low" player count at all. Unlike Mahvel 3 it's just 2v2 so it isn't that bad.
Totally buying that thanos is the dlc character from mvc2, but he's been radically retooled to essentially be a "new character"

Guess when I do play it'll be with a Chris and Nemesis team. Guessing they would choose Nemesis over Wesker to have a "big guy" character on their side compared to hulk.
Venom.

We're getting a Cinematic Story Mode on Day 1, but it's around 2-3 hours long.I'm pretty sure those will not be there on Day 1.
SFV's cover was totally fine.Knowing how lazy Capcom has become, this will probably be the cover of the game. Just like that lazy ass cover for SFV.
The hell is up with this 2v2 bull shit?
You know we have 1v1 games out in the market right now that have more characters than Marvel Infinite may have right?
They are called Tekken 7 and Injustice 2.
But more importantly, the characters that they have apparently chosen don't inspire much confidence either. Injustice 2 had a health dose of new comers/weird characters alongside fan favorites.
And you can bet your candy ass this game is not going to touch the content or quality of side stuff in Injustice 2.

Yeah my bad, I didn't have gutter, lowest common denominator expectations for a VS game from Capcom.In short,
Another disappointing launch it seems like? Man they have not recovered since SFXT.
So what, are the DLC characters going to cost an arm and leg like SFV?
Relax your ass, my friend. I said it's not that bad, not that it's ideal. And let's be fair here. Tekken 7 has been out in arcades since 2015 and has been slowly rolling out characters since, Injustice 2 has sugar daddy WB behind it making it rain on the budget and more importantly, what the hell were you people expecting from Capcom in 2017? lol. I think this is a case of being happy with what you get. A year ago people thought Mahvel 4 would never ever happen, ever.
In short,
Better be Uncle Dante and Wesker in this shit
They would still have to remove the Fox characters.They could have just built on the MvC3 engine + roster and no one would have batted and eye. No one.

I should fix my face.

I'd be amazed if they cost cheaper than SFV. I'm guessing $30 for the season pass once again since the deluxe is 90.
Which should be the exact same pricing.
28 characters is lowest common denominator?
How about a new MvC with absolutely no new characters, only 20 characters, 1 vs 1, no story mode, and barebones online with no spectating.
Now thats lowest common denominator
How long 'til Eventhubs picks this up as a news story?
If Nemesis is in then this'll probably be one of my teams as well. I started using different characters when the PS4 release of Ultimate came out since it felt like a fresh start. I used Ghost Rider/Nemesis/Wesker for a few weeks but the team was simply too awful to continue using so I switched it up to Nemesis/Wesker/Dante which is still a bad team (anything with Nemesis is, lol) but I've gotten fairly good results with it (Online win percentage is 76%).
I've been using Chris since 2014. Really fun zoner. His only big problems are unsafe and slow normals and no anti-air projectiles. Chris and Nemesis sounds like a really fun combo and I'm positive they'll improve Nemesis if he's in.
$5 per character is bullshit imo. Especially since you can't demo these new characters to see if you'll like them. These aren't skins or costumes, they're new characters with completely new gameplay styles. How are we supposed to know just be some random trailer if a character is going to be worth that investment?
They would still have to remove the Fox characters.
And yet we have people complaining about some supposed asset reuse here.

That would literally never happen though.
This is pretty damn bad and it's worse than most of us were expecting (assuming it's true).
