Definitely sucks. Everything about this game is just missing style in general.
SFV doesn't have much art work either. There's the Bengus stuff but it doesn't look like he cares.
Very disappointing since we used to get so much iconic Capcom artwork out of Akiman, Kinu Nishimura, Shinkiro etc. across many games.

Yeah, I somehow forgot about that. Shinkiro did some art for the Japanese Collector's Edition of SFV, I believe, but that was it.
I was certain he'd be back since he's always had extensive art for the Vs series. His TVC/MVC3 art was amazing. I didn't really like his art back in the CVS days, but his style had gotten much better since. Looks like they're just using 3D renders for Infinite. Sucks.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
I dont really care about vets getting axed if theres lots of interesting newcomers to replace them but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
MvC3 had a lot of awesome newcomers: Dormammu, Deadpool, Super Skrull, Taskmaster, Dante, Wesker, C.Viper, Amaterasu.
Thats without counting UMvC3 characters which were mostly newcomers too.

I really want the game to be successful so they could have the longevity for the supports they planned for the game. I would like to see them trying to expand the games with more characters, mostly fan-favorite characters and oddball choices as well.
On first hand, I think we shouldn't worry about it since they already signed the license for next few years so they probably are going to do it regardless how bad the sales could be. On other hand, they could just decide to cease the development due to the funds because they didn't make enough money back to further their DLC development.
Capcom and Marvel are playing with a fire with the service updates since it could go either way.
I don't think it's worth getting worried about longevity this early in the game.
That first week will be everything. When the players get their hands on the game and really start labbing everything, we'll know if there's some fucked up dumb shit, OR if a bunch of stuff we've been worrying about isn't really a big deal.
Just playing the waiting game right now. I've been through too many of these launch cycles for fighting games to get too worked up pre-launch.

Alright, I see Thor, She-Hulk, Scarlet Witch and Nova. Who are the 5th one?

It's all pre-release frustration. Some rightfully so and some overblown. By the time the game comes out the pros play it and show off what the game can really do and all the hot take cynicism will be toned down.

Damn, I actually forget all about his old design. I think I actually prefer his new design nowadays.

@ElBoxyBrown, IntelliHeath and Anth0ny - yeah you guys are probably right. While I've been through my own share of bad pre-releases I've never seen anything quite to this level as far as fighting games go, which is where the concern came from.

worrying about the competitive future of the game should be a thing, but it's hard to pin down the gameplay quality as a reason for that at the moment given how there's a giant dichotomy between folks who have played the vs. demo and those who have only played the story demo. especially given the conditions of the vs. demo being available (the showfloor effect is extremely fuckin' real for FGs and the demo is unbelievably garbage)
what should be worrying is that there potentially isn't going to be any new blood or growth from this game- usually folks jump over from casual players to competitive players out of love for the game but that entails giving the game a chance first.
it's a love of the game as a whole that usually creates that transition. if the initial perception of the game is that low and there's just overall less stuff to like about it then it's less likely to draw actual competitors out of casual players just by the pure population size being lower

Might not be as great as some of the Alpha and Third Strike art but I still thought SFV stuff was nice.
Not official but I like this original cover art done with their in-game models:
Then we also have a lot of character and concept too:

That looks way better than anything we got in Infinite. A lot of it looks quite good.
Maybe there'll be concept art down the line for Infinite.

I like the idea of all the stages being merged in some form. The fetus stage is great, but I think it would be awesome if it were somehow merged with a Dark Dimension stage if Jedah and Dormammu are really a "pair".

Capcom should release some concept art for Infinite, if there is any. We should have gotten something by now.
I'm pretty sure there will be. Game is still 3 months away.
3rd year for SFV? It barely crossed its 1st anniversary!
Well, 3rd "season" of content and cpt, not third year of release.

If MH is anything like Soki from TvC shit's gonna be pretty wild and not mild.
I doubt there is (or will be) any art assets that aren't 3D renders, actually. They would have shown something if there was anything.
There's no precedent for artwork to randomly turn up during the last 3 months before release.

So, how does everyone expect Black Panther's style to look?
While I'm hyped for Sigma, BP has been someone I've been itching to see in a fighting game since forever. I'd like for him to have Vibranium Daggers as a projectile.

Probably just like Wolverine given they have the same "function".
i hope he is like sabertooth, a bit more of a heavier character then wolverine or i guess like alex tier still fast enough but strong with projectiles.

Vibranium Daggers as projectiles, Antimetal claws for his melee attacks. On a site its noted his Daggers could be used to mark a target so maybe he could have something that locks onto a marked target? A marked target takes extra damage? Some sort of Panther stance install hyper that gives him some sort of buffs. He'd definitely have a pounce of some sort. Maybe a wall run flip? (He can run on walls)
Stuff from other sites
"His Energy Daggers are virtual blades that can be fired, thrown, and handled like an actual knife. They have three settings: Non Lethal (blue), Stun (Green) and Lethal (Red). At its highest setting, the Energy Dagger can cut through forged steel like it was government cheese, and has been known to damage Ultron."
"Kimoyo Cards (keh-MOY-oh is a Bantu word for ”The Spirit"): These are global positioning and communications device. It can also home in on the unique energy signature Panther's Energy Dagger ”marks" his prey with."
Oh and he has a cloaking device, among other gadgets
ah, and a teleporter

I want to comment something on story mode trailer. I noticed that a sand dragon from Monster Hunter had a power stone in it's mouth so it made me wonder if certain bosses are going to have their own fights where they would use their own infinity stone(s). Since we know there would be Death, Grandmaster, etc. I guess I could throw something tighter for fun.
Ultron-Sigma - Space Stone & Reality Stone
Dahren-Mohran - Power Stone
Death - Soul Stone
Grandmaster Meios - Mind Stone
I wonder who would have Time Stone?

Honestly, I love UMVC3 - and with updates and balance patches I could definitely see myself playing it for another 5 years. Unfortunately the community for it is dying and Marvel needs a new game to revitalize it.
If UMVC3 was in EVO alongside Infinite with 800+ participants similar to Melee, it would be my ideal situation but unfortunately that's just not going to happen.

Dormammu.
Strange:"Dormammu, I've come to barg-"
Dorm:"FUCK NO, NOT THIS TIME. JOKES ON YOU STEPHEN"

Dormammu or Jedah?
Venom would make some sense, but...it just doesn't work to make Venom like that
Crazy theory: Wesker out of nowhere with his own symbiote army mixed with the T-virus
and its Meio not Meios

Nah, more like X-23 since she won't be returning.
If this is MCU, doesn't Dr. Strange have it in the Eye of Agamotto?

Death wouldn't have a stone. She kinda doesn't need it, seeing as she has all of their powers combined and then some.
Looks like two of Jedah, Dorm, and Venom are holding a stone. Venom is a near guarantee based on the Symbiote army, so it's either the demon or the... other demon.

^But, why would Venom have an infinity stone? It doesn't make sense. I guess it could make sense for someone to be using Venom though, perhaps Ultron-Sigma?
I wonder if each place will have a brainwashed hero fight?
Knowmoon-Zero, controlled by Meio
Valkanda-??
?? (RE/Street Level marvel)-Winter Soldier makes sense
Xgard-??
?? (Dr. Strange/Darkstalkers): ???

Well, I'm not well-versed with Death as a character or fighter. I just assumed that she could be one of the bosses.
They actually emphasized that story mode is going to be original story so I guess he might not have it anymore.
Well Grandmaster Meio with Mind Stone could control several villains easily, like Jedah, Zero, Venom and Winter Solider. I'm still unsure about Dormammu since he's pretty powerful to not put himself in this spot.

Do you think the villains will be working together? I could see a tentative alliance (with plans to betray each other) between Ultron-Sigma and Meio I suppose
It's DLC.
In the story trailer, I think Thanos says that Grandmaster Meio has the Power Stone.
Great post by Raging Spaniard in the other thread.

I do think so and also the website said heroes and villains would have to work together to save the worlds. I'm curious which villains would teaming up with the heroes.
Thanks for clarification. I mainly presume that Dahren-Mohran swallowed the Power Stone because of the colors itself.
Why are they pushing the narrative that MvC:I is not an "MCU-based game", when the roster revealed thus far absolutely contradicts that 100%?
While that's problematic, the lack of so far trying to implement Vision and Wanda...ya know...actually UNIQUE characters in the MCU is such a crime and really bizarre. Vision and Wanda should be in over copy-pasta Nova and fucking Ant-Man.
Ant. man. It just makes me sick.

I would like to think he's right on that matters. Also I think the reviews are going to be very brutal on MVCI since it's too late for them to change anything.
Did I miss something?
