Is anyone else really excited that they are putting more effort into the story this time?
I actually thought the character specific banter in MvC3 was great. Stuff like Vergil/Magneto "Your appearance reminds me of my son, let's see if you can match his speed in battle." is just fantastic. What characters would you like to see interact in the story?
>too salty to let the joke character finish his animation top kek fchump
Justin Jackson
SFV is making them bank from DLC and Esports money. Plus, they didn't even pay for the game, Sony did.
Hudson Reyes
They said they would have a story last time, so I'm not holding my breath
Brody Diaz
They've barely shown shit and what they have shown looks pretty bad so far, no doubt it'll improve closer to release but there's not much to be "really excited" for at the moment.
Xavier Roberts
>I don't think Capcom can afford another dud. They can, Capcom has Scrooge McDuck levels of money. SFV "flopping" still did better than every other fighter too, they'll be fine regardless of what this game is like.
David Taylor
yea sfv is living on kids like you to buy all the DLC
Nolan Nguyen
why is wanting a casual audience bad
Jordan Roberts
>They can, Capcom has Scrooge McDuck levels of money. I don't doubt SFV is making a lot of longterm money for them, but Capcom are hardly swimming in money.
Look at how much smaller scale RE7 is compared to RE6.
Ian Edwards

Juan Collins
>mfw Donte/DmC2 cross-reveal
Liam Wilson
not just kids like him anyone that wants to be tournament viable has to at least buy all the characters to do lab work
Eli Russell
Expecting an audience to buy it when they won't while alienating old fans.
Dylan Roberts
Who are they Expecting
Aiden Lopez
when
Owen Gray
>buying the characters lad
Ayden Brown
Donte won't be in Infinite when DMC3 Dante is already an established character with an already well-liked playstyle.
Justin Long
If I gave two shits about Story, I wouldn't play a fighting game.
Gabriel Reed
Story mode is a great way to get casual sales without compromising on gameplay design.
I'd rather Capcom put time into making a fleshed out story instead of casualizing gameplay.
Carson Barnes
FUCK YOU
Benjamin Baker
I hope they choose Dante from DMC1/4 and change some of his attacks with other weapons
Hudson Gray
> without comprimising on gameplay
Having a non-vn styled story mode takes significant resources.
Austin Richardson
Capcom had to cut out MvC3's story mode yet that didn't mean we got more character; it just meant that we didn t get story mode.
Nicholas Turner
What evidence is there that 3's story mode was cut?
Cameron Sanchez
Look at the Galactus boss fight.
Mason Turner
What about it? There's no indication that Galactus was anything other than better execution of what they attempted with Apocalypse and Onslaught. Everybody assumed 3 would have a stroy mode right up until the game came out because the NYCC panel said Frank Tieri was writing story scenes.
Thomas Ward
Bring back character intros before fights. Like Ken and Ryu fist bumping if they're on opposite teams before the match starts. Also, have all characters have a queue of things to say regardless of who is their main opponent. So if Hulk and Zangief both make the cut, have them say something like "It's been awhile, you've gotten older and hopefully stronger." referencing previous games they were both in.
Hudson Jenkins
after playing SF5's story no im not
Adrian Wilson
Didn't MvC3 have American writers?
Thought the writing was pretty solid in that, what little there was at least.
Ethan Scott
>fighting game >story mode Fucking casuals won't play it a few months after release with or without a story mode
Noah Reed
The best thing about crossovers are the character interactions.
Ryan Davis
I just hope Infinite has some fucking organization in it's character select screen.
Camden Rivera
People who will be intimidated to play with seasoned veterans.
Ian Jenkins
>FailPeenoise Chump When was this?
Samuel Garcia
Marvel is handling the storytelling, while Capcom is handling the game design.
Evan Morgan
The game will be fun like older Marvel games
Samuel Gonzalez
>explicitly stated the game is going to be casualized Liar
Parker Perez
> character screen organization
what?
Angel Jackson
>explicitly stated the game is going to be casualized
Just like every game with any resemblance of a competitive side released after the ps3 era.
Angel Watson
>story in a fighting game

Marvel tags capcom at least will address the turn based fighter issue. The problems will arise from the fact you can almost be certain long combo strings will be entirely absent. It's a delicate balance but taking away something that the series became known for seems counter productive.
Alexander Powell
I only wish the tag system doesn't turn out to have only *character with long animation special*/*character with crazy tridash high/low/left/right* as viable teams. It was bad enough with Law on SFxT. But they just have to not add such long animation specials to solve this kind of problem.
Xavier Baker
The series got known for that thanks to MVC2 and 3, but its not what it used to be.
I liked the games before MVC2. They were stupid, but not fucktarded.
Also if the goal is to attract a casual audience then shit wont matter anyways, because millions of potential buyers have never seen a MVC game before.
Chase Wood
>keep playing Marvel 3 Game's dead as shit as is, they're just going to play SFV instead and fill the EVO slot with MKXI or Injustice 2 or some shit.
Jaxson Garcia
The thing is, the tag assist system is marvel's best feature and going back to no assists feels like a big downgrade.
Ryder Johnson
Those OTGs, wallbounces, and tag ins are just asking to be broken. They need to bring dizzies back because hitstun decay is shit and unintuitive
Liam Jones
We all know though that casual audiences go for the flavor of the month. Even if this game captured that for the moment, it wont mean the game will forever be at tournaments like marvel 2 and 3. Having a low skill floor isn't bad but a low ceiling is.
Hudson Parker
Me n guys named Frank don't get on too well
Ayden Bailey
Post dat roster wish list.
Parker Allen

Jeremiah Torres
>buying characters
Christ...
Camden Gray
MVC3 was the pinnacle of crossover character interaction. It will not be topped and I'm judging this solely on their decision to focus on the marvel movies but this game will not have all of the soul mvc3 had
Oliver Gomez
not bad, not bad at all
Jackson Perry
Not for the Capcom side though, especially all those fucking lawyer jokes towards Phoenix.
Xavier Turner
Last time they had plans to have the Marvel characters speak Japanese as well but Nitsuma removed it, do you think they'll go for it this time?
Adrian Murphy
Yes it looks great.
Xavier Bennett
Mein negger.
Nathaniel Martin
>10+ years old characters from dead capcom games

All i know is that REv2 claire and SFV zombie Nash are 100% in

Lincoln Jackson
I bet that's what you said about Arthur, Haggar, and other Darkstalkers back in MvC3 too.
Isaac Hill
I'm a fucking slut for Marvel and the FGC is dying. So yes I'm hyped. Really hoping this and Tekken 7 can save the community.
Sebastian Perry
>Competitive will keep playing 3 Son...I have some news for you...you might want to sit down.
Nolan Peterson
>No X-Men and Fantastic Four-related characters including Dr. Doom. >At the most it's gonna be Street Fighter V and Michael Bay's Resident Evil games.
Adam King
PLEEEEEASE don't cut MODOK I know he isn't in the cinematic universe b-but .. he's cool..
Samuel Hernandez
>the FGC is dying people really got to stop pushing this total fucking meme. The FGC used to be a few guys huddled around an arcade cabinet and its only expanded from there.
People hear about shitty sales of SFV and then think welp guess its all over now its all down hill. Bunch of pussies imo. The FGC will be fine.
Xavier Wood
Just because it's focused on MCU doesn't mean it's exclusive to it. And it's not like we won't get unexpected picks out of it as well.
Henry Williams
I'm hoping you are right. On the MCU side, how likely is it we will get digitized chris pratt?
Joshua Myers
Here we go.
David Kelly
Honestly with Sigma being the main baddy with Ultron (I firmly believe this) I think it's somewhat likely we will get both X and Zero, here's hoping
Noah Garcia
Those appeared before in games one way or another but Vanessa Z?Gene? get real nigga
Michael Barnes
As someone who's been in since the early 2000s, yes, the community is going back to that fucking hellhole. Compare weeklies like WNF and NLBC from 2 years ago to today. We are going right back to that era of being on the sidelines and nobody giving a shit
Brody James
He is on that shitastical current Avengers cartoon and the Phineas and Ferb Marvel special.
>TFW we're probably getting the shitty Avengers Asseble VAs. No offense, it's just I don't want to be reminded of that piece of dogshit, or any of Marvel's recent failed abortions of shows.
Good god does Marvel's animation fucking suck. The only good ones were Spectacular Spider-Man and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes but were automatically cancelled too early and replaced those failed abortions Ultimate and Assemble.
Chase Anderson
No. I don't care about story modes in my fighting games.
Austin Long
Not that much. Capcom might go for a mix of movie/comics, but he'll 100% always be wearing the mask.
Robert Torres
Earth's Mightiest Heroes version of Wasp was my waifu. I was literally in love with her.
Julian Miller
Chris Pratt likes vidya and I think he'd be totally down to do it. I just don't think Capcom can afford him.
Zachary Rodriguez
Who cares if were on the sidelines, which we wont be cause ESPN motherfucker. EVO is only getting bigger, Capcom Cup coverage beyond Twitch. Young players are picking up the games like Du and Takeuchi. The FGC is fine. What it needs is people like you to stop being so fucking doom & gloom. Chill out.
I hope not. That would likely mean paying him money for his likeness and god forbid they pay for his voice too.
Hopefully they keep the MCU characters in name only. Keep the budget down, ya know.
The main thing I want more than anything out of MvCi is a fun end boss. Something like Apocalypse in XMvSF or Abyss in MvC2. Something where the devs can stretch their legs and have some fun with design.
Joshua Howard
I was soooooooo happy when she had her EMH VA in Disney Infinity, even if she didn't have her outfit.
Jason Barnes
I'm only doom and gloom because it's something I love and really want to see it grow. But c'mon man, even fucking Daigo and Momochi are warning us that something has to be done soon. Burying our heads in the sand and saying "Nah it's fine man, EVO was on ESPN" is not going to help.
Austin Reyes
But thats just it. The older players are welcoming in new players properly on top of the fact that we have expanded coverage. What the hell are you worried about?
Lucas Kelly
Hasn't that kind of always been the case? Marvel has a better big-screen presence but DC takes the fucking cake any day with anything animated. Earths Mightiest Heroes was alright and they couldn't even keep that going.
Grayson Rogers
>but DC takes the fucking cake any day with anything animated.
Except Teen Titans Go. And I REALLY don't expect that new Justice League show to last long.
I am happy Young Justice is getting a season 3 possibly on Netflix, though it'll probably feature Darkseid jobbing to a bunch of kids.
Jackson Hernandez
The VAs in the Infinite sound like the EMH cast, but that may just be repurposed lines.
JLA seems fine, imo. I'm honestly not that against standalone action focused 11 minute episodes. Plus they did an SFA2 intro parody and shit was ace as fuck.
Ethan Clark
I want Disk Wars inspired costume DLC. Wasp was bae there as well.
Hunter Parker
I'm glad others appreciate the wonder that was EMH Wasp
Zachary Morgan
>The VAs in the Infinite sound like the EMH cast
Except for Captain Marvel.
Landon Clark
they can just reskin him.
