Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite

To be fair, rev2 upgrade for $20 is a big step in the right direction, even if it's still somewhat overpriced for what it is.

It's less terrible, but still not good.

- balance updates should be $0
- given that Rev1 is required, if you didn't buy any DLC characters in Rev1 then you are buying 5 characters (RAV/DIZ/KUM/ANS/BAI) for $20, which is a good value
- if you bought Rev1 DLC (i.e. if you actually play GG) then you are paying $20 for two characters which is ridiculous

ArcSys is and has been the biggest abuser of important DLC/paid updates in the FGC. Capcom definitely deserves credit for committing to always-earnable characters and free gameplay updates in SF5, though the relative silence on whether the same will apply to MVCI seems conspicuous.

So, actual vs. gameplay:



First thoughts: Visually, Capcom is trying to copy Injustice. The gameplay is still Marvel, but the Injustice (or general NRS) influence on the graphics and presentation is crystal clear. Thanos is completely reworked from the 2D version (think MVC2 Jill to MVC3 Jill) and he has GGXrd Leo's rush-cover accelerating FB. He appears to have an airdash, which makes me a little concerned about airdash proliferation; this isn't GG, and I don't want to play a version of Marvel where every character's strategy is endless box jump blahblah.

Slowwwwwww as fuck

I wonder if Disney had a hand in the graphic design choice. There was some chatter during the development of UMvC3 that Disney/Marvel were very specific to Capcom about little things like Dr. Strange's poses and the like.

Who the fuck makes those Prorportions and faces on the capcom chars... Seriously have they nothing learned from Kens FACE!!!!

How can a Game with 3 vs 3 chars look 90302939029039323 gazillion times better (DBZ) then a game using 2vs2... I really dont understand this

I think the backlash is way too focused on Chun face. Captain Broly and the return of Mexican Ryu are way funnier imo lol.

dont get me started on Mexican Ryu... After giving us HotRyu, 2 steps in the right direction, they went 10 Steps backwards...

The sad part is the post-patch version was actually pretty good. But first impressions are a motherfucker.

Is it still alright to hate SFxT just based on the fact they decided to make Bad MegaMan Box Art a joke character in this game? I just couldn't get past how hammy it was, especially with some of the costumes.

[Krandor]

Played casually SFxT was fucking great. I never took it seriously and always enjoyed the game, it was horrible from a competitive​ pov which completely ruined the games viability.

Well, it helps that DBZ has had one specific look for almost 2 decades. There is nothing to re-invent aside from adding shadows and making the animations as fluid as possible which ASW nailed down.

[Krandor]

DBZ has nothing to do with how fucking bad the graphics in MvCI look. They're not just dated, they're downright BAD designs. KoF XIV got blasted for having dated graphics, but at least the design was fine and fixable via updating shaders.

Nothing outside of a complete redesign can fix whatever the fuck is going on with most of these characters face.

I don't recall giving Capcom a pass for allowing that abomination. But like I said, all the SF games re-invent the design/look between games whereas Goku is always the exact same. Capcom fucked up their art direction this time.

Chun-li in 3D has always seemed to be a hit or miss model for Capcom. She had an awkward build in SFIV as well.

ecxept that SFV Chun-Li is perfect, i dont understand why they need to reinvent the wheel... even SFIV Chun looks better then this MvsC crap

I would have to assume so. Disregarding Disney likes to control every aspect of all it's IP's, from what I've seen most of the Marvel characters are direct lifts from their MCU counterparts, or at the very least heavily inspired by them.

I dare you to update your avatar to the MVCI version

I don't want to break out in a cold sweat every time I post.
