I like 2v2 because now I only have to learn Mega Man + 1 >_>

He’d have the venom sting for the same reason Ryu has denjin mode in UMVC3 when he doesn’t have it in any other game. For gameplay purposes and nothing else.

But since you really seem to want a story explanation, they can just say that Peter met Miles, saw Miles’ venom abilities and developed a simple electricity-discharging device for himself that functions the same way as Miles’ venom. Since this is a crossover game and it will have a cinematic story mode, anything is possible.

If you’d like, we can just scrap Miles from the picture altogether and keep Peter Parker Spiderman without any venom. Works for me.

Some character talk in this thread is fine since there’s not much to talk about just yet, but some of this shit straight up belongs in the actual character thread.

I feel like team building and synergy has always played into the strengths of Marvel. Obviously not every character will be on par with the other, but it’s fun heading into the lab and discovering a characters limitations, how could they improve if gems gave them specific abilities, and so forth. In a game like Marvel, broken shit is going to be discovered regardless of what they do. Well, that is sooner or later.

I really don’t like the idea of character-specific abilities in a game where you select your gem before the fight. It made sense in MSH because all 6 gems were actually in the match and you had to battle for control of them (added an interesting layer to footsies/neutral). You pick your gem manually here, so adding some special reward isn’t necessary.

I hope to see soon how often tags/gems are supposed to be in play, as that will be a huge factor in how impactful Capcom will make them.

I’m kind of hype for 2v2 just because the 3v3 system locks a lot of characters in mid tier if they don’t have a good assist, or S tier on point.

I don’t want to live in a world where dormammu or storm are mediocre characters anymore

This, as much as they try, there are characters who are going to synergize better with others. Look at SFxT where you had character combinations that gave better combos. Or even Skullgirls where custom assists should allow for more combinations, yet there are still specific teams and assist combinations that work better than others.

Saw a thread on reddit asking what if they added the MvC1 duo team attack system once again. Would this be a good idea for this game?

Not unless you love free chip damage.

Duo attack would be cool, but if they’re designing an accessible system I don’t see it happening.

Ryu’s v-trigger in SFV is denjin mode

Marvel won’t allow Capcom to give Peter Miles powers. Knowing how anal they were with Doctor Strange in the last game there no way they’ll give the OK to give one of their characters powers they don’t have.

I wouldn’t mind.

As long as it consumes 3 bars or even more, then sure. Have both characters on screen with unlimited supers for a while.

However, is still a big risk for the duo since you can be caught in a Shinkuu Hadouken or the like if you are out of position. It isn’t an auto win strategy so I say go for it.

Id prefer Spider Gwen over Gwenpool

Im curious as to how (or if) they will incorporate X’s various armor… maybe there will certain armors exclusive to Gems.

Like Time = Falcon Armor or Soul = Dark?

Ryu is too ordinary for Marvel. Frank West had to power up just to be a good character. In Marvel 1 Ryu had to steal Ken and Akuma’s powers also.

Oh and I love all the people that said there would be no way a Marvel 4 would be ready for 2017. GET READY to go CRAZY.

Steam. As if I had the choice anyway.
Really hope they will add crossplay to this game too so that their competitors will definitely be forced to think about it. Hell, this might even be the first FG with crossplay on three different platforms.

Street Fighter doesn’t really have a great track record in Marvel vs Capcom games (not sure their quality in Xmen v Street Fighter). There was I think Chun being really good in MvC 1, and Akuma/C.Viper being upper mid tier in MvC3, but I think that’s it. Feel free to correct me on this.

I’m okay with this so long as we acknowledge that there is one true crack, and its name is MvC2.

MvC3 is like, some after market hydrocodone or some other not so pure shit.

We’ll see about this one. It already has the one thing I don’t want: long combos. Make that shit go by fast or keep them short.

Three different platforms will be a stretch. I can see PS4/Steam cross play but definitely not Xbox. Xbox cross play seems to be reserved for Microsoft exclusives.
