Pair Play

That would be a bit chaotic

Lol, basically infinite Duo Team Attack. Much salt will be had once we discover the equivalent of Duo War Machine in this game.

With all the Marvel movies I don’t doubt this game will sell well.

This mode though would possibly be the icing on the cake, it would add that smash party game feeling. The more people involved the less competitive things tend to be because each individuals competitiveness streak differs but thats what the casual audience would love about it.

One person could be really good while the other sucks, it would still be fun on both ends even in all four players suck.

TAG ME IN BRO!

pair play was cool for moments like this

I started reading the thread and was ‘nah’, but hey, this would be BONKERS FUN.

Honestly one of the most fun i’ve had with a FG was doing pair play on SFxT, didn’t matter if my friend was bad or good at the game, even the losses were fun.
This absolutely needs to be added in MvC:I.

Absolutely this game should of Pair Play it would help people get into the game and encourage them. It’s also really fun and always fresh.

Pair Play tag teams were extremely common in SFxTK online. I did it pretty often.

So now that more gameplay has surfaced, what do you think of the potential for pair play in the mechanics? The new Counter Switch seems great because it encourages cooperation from both players to save one another.

Well it could prove very intresting and I hope pairplay is a thing, but Capcom has become quite good at dropping the ball lately…

It’s honestly a no brainer to add pair play. Playing with a buddy on the same team in SFxT was one of the funnest experience i had in a FG.

Plus, casuals don’t like going online, however having a buddy makes the experience more social and less intimidatingto go online and you have a finger to point why you lost lol.
Though MvC:I seems a game too fast for co-ordinating attacks, unless you have really grinded it with a friend before. If anything it’s atleast fun and there are plenty of opportunities to call in your partner.

E3 is open to the public right? We should make an effort to let Capcom know that a lot of players want pair play.

The consoles only have two USB ports, so local pair play will be difficult.

Yeah, unless it’s PC USB hubs are a necessity. The good thing is they aren’t super expensive.

Its a cool idea, and i’d definitely promote it, but damn will it be laggy

Capcpom would make pair play paid DLC.

Man don’t mention that. The idea alone hurts my soul.

It is literally the easiest thing ever to have people with controllers press the home button. We’ve had 5plyr local matches in WWE 2k16. Four guys in Tekken Tag 2. NBA Jam. Perfect Dark. We have never an issue ever playing with four guys on Xbox One. Should be the same on PS4.

I have never heard of or experienced this specific criticism. Ever.

Four arcade sticks, hitboxes, third party wired controllers. The console does not have enough USB ports for that and hubs have the potential to add extra input lag, which will probably be 6.5f again.

I never factored in input delay in USB hubs because I figured they just pass through the signal from the console but you could be right.

Now Tech Talk gotta test USB hubs… We’ll see “gaming” hubs advertised on tournament streams.
