Story Mode Discussion: Universes Clash Once Again

[LarsMasters]

I hope so. Spidey is very important to appear, so as some X-Men & Fantastic Four characters, like Panther, Silver Surfer, & Galactus who are first appeared in F4, Wolverine & Sabretooth who are first appeared outside X-Men, X-Men’s Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch are also known members of Avengers since joining Captain America’s team

[PSYCH0J0SH]

No, he’s talking about Spider-Verse, where it was showed that the MvC Spidey was killed by the inherentors.

Though MvC:I is a reboot, so it probably doesn’t matter. It’s a new continuity.

Let’s see, Morlun gets a Perfect on Spidey in the first round but then in the second round he gets raging demon’d by Akuma or something.

Man, I hope Morlun and his stupid Widow’s Peak family get shot into the sun so I never have to see them again.

Doubt that could kill them. Besides, they’re stuck elsewhere and we have not seen them since their defeat anyway.

Panther isn’t an issue, he’s not considered an F4 character. Just like Wolverine isn’t considered a Hulk character.

I’d love it if Demitri and Spider Man make it in, if only to reference that comic

You consider that being killed? Eh, most fighting games have KOs, so even a perfect wouldn’t imply death to me.

He was killed. The guy who killed him had killed many other Spider-Men before him.

Morlun’s first story in the “Coming Home” arc was pretty good.

Still thinking about the Spidey villains that could make it in. Makes me wonder if Vulture might be one of them. I say that because of the Homecoming movie. He’d probably play a bit similar to Ken the Eagle.

[brainfraud]

I hope the story mode and MvCI in general is everything everyone expected/wanted from SFV.

Because I’m tired of hearing the complaints, yes the launch was terrible but SFV as a whole currently is a pretty good game.

Say what you will but Missions and Cinematic Story Mode have been great additions. The ability to unlock colors via Fight Money instead of Survival which was also a huge complaint is another good change.

Content has released fairly regularly.

Basically I want MvCI to succeed and excel in every way, single player modes, online, competitive, content.

Lets hope Capcom actually learned from their mistakes. Hopefully a good story mode with a final boss battle will shut everyone up.

That said I’d be way more excited for pair play, online training rooms, expanded leaderboards (character/team specific leaderboards), bring back the Secret Shop to earn in game unlockables!

That’s my issue. I loved Morlun’s first few appearances, but to me SpiderVerse was just too much. I would have enjoyed the whole book if it was more of a swashbuckling adventure through all sorts of different spider verses rather than Morlun’s family no-selling everything for the first chunk of the book. Also sad a few of my fave Spideys bought it. I just…could see so much potential in it, but it just circled the drain for me. What should have been fun was just “Oh look, the Spidey and Amazing Friends crew was killed off brutally and…not even in a funny way.” I got more fun from the issue where Miles and the other Spider-men went to the world of 60s Spider-man.

[Hawkingbird]

The big problem with Morlun is that he introduced a mystical element to Spider-Man’s mythos that was never there when Peter had been a science based hero for his entire publication history up to that point. Morlun’s appearance lend credence to the spider totem being the real origin to Spidey’s powers.

[Doctrine_Dark]

I also wasn’t a huge fan of what took place in Spider-Verse. Honestly, Morlun would’ve been better off just being gone after The Other storyline. Also wasn’t a fan of the totem stuff brought up by Ezekiel and Morlun. I get that they were trying to introduce a new element, but it was a bit too much.

[Hawkingbird]

Everything involving the Spider Totem was pretty crappy. Arguably Anya Corazon is the best thing that spawned from it but many of her early stories were shit. She became ok once she became Spider-Girl.

Here is an article about Story Mode from yahoo esports.

After the reveal, I met with two members of the Capcom team and two members of the Marvel Games team to learn more about the game. This didn’t feel like a typical Capcom appointment. The presence of Marvel Games told me they had been more involved in this venture than I would have guessed.

“It’s not called Marvel vs. Capcom 4. There’s a lot of meaning behind the Infinite part. Capcom can make great fighting games. What we’ve never been able to do is tell the story about why these worlds are coming together,” Marvel Games executive producer Mike Jones told Yahoo Esports.

Street Fighter V had a rough launch thanks to being catered towards the hardcore competitive scene. That not only turned away the casual players Capcom hoped would flock to a new entry, but it led to a game missing tons of features. It was so shaky, Street Fighter V was called the “worst fighting game launch in modern history,” by David “UltraDavid” Graham.

Arcade mode? Nope. Second player having the ability to control the menu to ready up for another versus match? Nope. While the game was great for competition and the Capcom Pro Tour, it didn’t perform as expected at retail, selling roughly 1.5 million copies and falling short of Capcom’s projected sales goals by about half a million.

Seeing both Capcom and Marvel at the table gave me hope for MVC:I because the two companies can focus on giving fans a complete product and hopefully keep each other in check. Capcom can worry about the fighting, while Marvel can guide the characters and storytelling.

“Story is a huge pillar for this game. We will be coming out with a fully-featured cinematic story mode,” Jones said.

Story isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think about fighting games. Even before FGC was formally esports, it’s always been about competition. The Mortal Kombat series set the precedent for modern storytelling in fighting games and, for better or worse, every other fighting game is held to a higher standard. Marvel understands that and wants to give purpose to MVC:I, which means creating a compelling story about why Capcom and Marvel characters are duking it out in the first place.

“Storytelling is at the core of everything Marvel does in comics, TV, film, and now games,” Bill Rosemann, creative director for Marvel Games, told Yahoo Esports. “That’s what we do.** It’s not just characters colliding. There’s a reason for everything. You’ll notice in the backgrounds it looks like the worlds are merged. The question is who did this? These are questions and mysteries that will be answered as you play the game.”**

Bolded the parts I thought were interesting.

[Hawkingbird]

We will get mash-up stages in this game? My imagination is running wild.

That is really interesting. Not just for this, but for the future of Marvel games. I got excited when Spider-man PS4 was revealed due to how much they’re putting stock into it as the launching pad for future marvel console projects, but this just is continuing that and I’m pleased. The fact that they’re aware of their shortcomings and failures with SF5 is comforting. I still enjoy SF5, but I want the wrinkles ironed out for S2 and for MvCI I hope they don’t even show up. There’s so much potentially amazing things that they could do with this title, so here’s hoping for the best!

[The_Shakunetsu]

So the story might be more on Marvel side? not Capcom? I just hope if they execute interactive cinematic cut scenes brilliantly not just doing it with random commands.

[Hawkingbird]

Marvel has been producing company wide crossovers where the heroes fight each other over nonsensical issues since the first Civil War. Perfect for writing a fighting game.

[PVL_93_RU]

Marvel being in charge of the story direction is literally the best news ever

[NoChart]

Leaving the story to Marvel is the only smart move. Capcom have some great characters, but they’ve mishandled them pretty severely as of late. It’ll be good to see some Marvel heads take on the universe with some fresh eyes.
