First Impressions of MvC Gameplay

From what I saw in the videos, gameplay looked solid graphically some of the animation seemed jitter and the ink shadowing is overkill. The ink style really doesn’t look good its basically the same effect they use in SSF4 which doesnt look good.

Reversals!

I don’t really like the graphical style… SF4 had it’s own thing with the ink stuff but now they are going to use it on everything it seems. The character models just seem really boring to me. They’re not ugly but they just seem to lack character or something.

Gameplay looks like TVC meaning it’s probably pretty homogenized across the board. Not sure how everything works yet but it’ll probably be air dash x n / ground dash x n for mix ups -_-

I do like what they did with Dante though and Morrigan finally getting a new super is good. Still TVC system so if it has megacrash or the equivalent, bleh.

Anyway, I’m not bitching. I would like to see some more characters not in MVC2 though. More darkstalkers characters we never get to see but are popular (jedah, hsien ko, dimitiri, donovan etc etc)… more random capcom characters like the ghost and goblins guy and I’ll be happy. I’ll still play it regardless though… could be good casual fun.

game looks good, should be good fun, can’t wait to concoct a team of my own. i hope henaki doesn’t reveal the roster early, that really destroyed the hype for sfiv and ssfiv.

That should be a good thing. Unneeded hype is annoying and it’s best to get the inevitable disappointments out of the way quick.

From the videos, the “Assist OK” signal seemed to come up real quick. So it might me more of whoever was playing not really caring (or knowing how to) to use assists much.

That, or the way you actually assist/tag is stupid and they were worried they may accidently tag out instead of assist, so they just didn’t use it.

Looks like I’m going to have to make a Unity account now so I can try my damndest to let Capcom know how bad this decision sucks.

This whole control headache would’ve been avoided if they didn’t try and go with an evolved TvC layout and just stuck with the old MvC2 layout.

For the sake of efficiency I’ve reopened the gameplay and mechanics thread and will be closing this one. Please take all further discussions there.
