Iâll gladly pass if any of this is true (except the story stuff). 24 characters and 2 vs 2 would be horrible and slower gameplay is the last thing I want.
That would be even worse since their character models would be in the game but we canât play as them. I hate assist characters.
no way we would get 2 darkstalkers if thereâs only 12 capcom characters breh. It would be someone like Phoenix Wright instead unfortunately.
1/3 of Capcom is Street Fighter? Nillin and Batsu over Zero, Phoenix Wright or even Vergil? Not gonna happen unfortunately.
Shame Resident Evil 7 has none of the previous RE cast involved. I doubt Capcom will use RE5 Chris or Wesker again. RE 6 Leon is the most likely candidate but that Leon sucks ass. Maybe RE7 will have some cool villain or enemy/boss they can put in to promote the game.
Iâm used to Skull Girls, so âonlyâ 24 characters doesnât bother me at all (but casuals will complain for sure). If itâs true that there will be emphasis on story, this means that the game may attract a good number of casual players (believe me, single player content is much more important than easier controls or slower speed).
And Iâm with Devil Jin on the 6 button matter. 4 is not bad, but 6 is much better IMO.
Skull Girls isnât a series with almost infinite awesome potential characters like MvC. 3 vs 3 with a large and weird roster is a large part of the appeal of the series.
I donât want 6 buttons as a pad player, how would we call for assists?
I agree that single player content is the most important thing for casuals, but a larger roster will bring in the casuals as well. I hope to see at least some kind of Story Mode, Arcade Mode, and for God sake give me VS CPU.
âI donât want 6 buttons as a pad player, how would we call for assists?â
Same way Skullgirls handles assists (or SF4 with focus or Guilty Gear w/burst and rc or honestly a ton of fighters) : just make assists button combinations such as mp+mk.
Note, Iâm not necessarily in favor of 6 buttons, but making it 6 buttons wouldnât make it so you couldnât have assists somehow.
Well, thereâs a lot of NPCâs in the SG universe that I would love to see as playable characters, but unfortunately Lab 0 donât have the funds to add them to the roster. But that wasnât my point. What I meant is that repeatedly seeing the same characters on almost every team never bothered me or made the game boring or anything. Maybe the variable team size and the many assist options allowed some sort of variety in a game of 13 characters (even with trios being possible).
I play SG with a 360 pad and I never had problems with assists. X, Y and RB are the punches, A, B and RT are the kicks and LB and LT are the macros for the assists.
Doesnât mean that at all, since sheâs still part of the properties they own and thereâs a Captain Marvel film with Carol Danvers as the star coming up.
I mean that wouldnât be a problem, but surely that would be a step back from the single button assists in MvC3.
People complaining about 24 characters arenât thinking about match ups getting stale, weâre thinking about how that only leaves room for the boring and predictable characters like Ryu, Cap, etc.
Marvel doesnât give a crap about practicality in their comics,

They do actually, especially when it comes to women. Hence why several of their female characters have been given new, less objectifying costumes, like Carolâs CaptainMarvel costume and Elektraâs new costume, where she actually has pants.
Because sheâs a freaking Air Force Captain and her current look actually shows that.

Thatâs not practical at all, particularly to the viewers. [/quote
Female readers/âviewersâ would disagree.
Even as a pad player Iâm pretty versatile with layouts but I think Iâd prefer the ABC Launch A1 A2 layout from the last game⌠or something similar.
Maybe LP LK HP HK A1 A2 instead, and have a normal and/or command normal as launchers instead of a dedicated launch button
U dont need one button assist if this is going to be like mvc1 where assists are used in more defensive/continuing blockstring waysâŚill need to see gameplay before judging tho.
