It’s Frank. You included him in the total when he’s just a speculation, and a speculation in a leak is a maybe to a maybe…I wouldn’t read too much into this at all.
Why is Spiderman counted as a MVC3 character here ? He was in every Marvel game as far as I can remember, I don’t think he should be included in this list (unlike Thanos who made his debut in the Vs Capcom franchise the second game, even though he was in MSH)
Well, some returning characters you kinda have to expect. Wolverine aside, you can’t really remove Spidey, Hulk, cap. America and iron man from an mvc game. They’re marvel flagship characters.
The list stinks though. If it weren’t for the fact that I got my 4 most requested characters, I’d probably hate it.
I don’t see much of that going on at all. I see lots of intelligent, valid criticism being lobbed at a game that is headed for disaster, and the ass-ravaged fanboys who scream that they’re still going to spend their money despite all the problems with it.
There’s not really any open conflict going on in the thread. Just three factions.
The diehards who will get this game no matter what because it’s MAHVEL like DevilJin
The betrayed who wanted this game to succeed but view the constant blunders as sign of Capcom fucking up and ruining the game like PVL, Po, and Psychojosh
The wait and see-ers who react to news but ultimately reserve judgement until the final product/more information drops such as Unsaxon and myself
If there was open conflict, with this spirited a crowd, you’d KNOW.
I chalk it up to people not yet being able to get their hands on a playable build yet. The whinging and overreacting usually stops at that point as long as the gameplay is solid.
That didn’t help SFV. Even if the gameplay in that game was perfect - it’d still be a garbage title overall because of virtually everything else surrounding it ranges fro straight up bad to disappointing
I swear, Capcom can never have a release where everything just aligns perfectly. There’s always some shit.
With MVC3, it was the lack of Mega Man that pissed off a lot of people.
This time? X is in, but no X-Men/Doctor Doom. The roster (based on the leak) is also uninspired and pretty awful. You could deal with the lack of X-Men and the fact that Marvel has influence over that side, but that Capcom side is busass.
So yeah, the fighting system (which I care about) could be incredible, but that won’t change the fact that people are turned-off by the game. We know what bad word of mouth can do for games sells.
I’m in wait and see mode, but I’m expecting this to be the roster. Capcom is obviously banking on DLC to carry this game, which is whatever.
Like I said - both Marvel and Capcom will be using this game as a big advertisement platform for selling new characters either right before or right after a new show or a movie launches
Oh, Black Panther has a movie next year? Here’s him fully playable in MVC: Infinite!
There’s an Inhumans show premiering on Netflix? Here’s a bundle of new Inhumans characters, available today in MVCI!
It’s pretty sad that that’s how the roster seems to be shaping up and an omission of a few obvious picks among the initial 28 characters just screams they want money from DLC
