X is a character I’ve spent a lot of time with in the demo. He’s definitely got his strengths for sure. There’s a reason buster can’t be charged whilst moving. The follow ups X gets puts him in a really strong position neutrally. Post kill cross up boomerang is dirty. The new super jump mechanic gives him way more mobility to open people up. With His air LK being two hits and it crosses up. Also his tag game is going to be really potent. I think L buster into HP follow up is a two hit overhead HKD. But I cannot really test it without training mode.
I have to agree that X’s his moveset is kinda lackluster, they could have done so much more with him…
Which make me worry even more about Sigma, his moveset could have SO MUCH potential but Capcom will probably just end up making him a Zero on steriods 
Zero on steroids sounds like a really broken character.
I just want him to have a wall dive reminiscent of his move from X1 mixed with a little Gambit/Vega.
Judging by Sigmatron, he will have sword normals and teleports. Maybe scythe specials?
Sigma will have a sick theme at least.

Also, it appears X’s theme is Central Highway.
Also, X needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine.
Opps, double post, sorry!
Pretty much this, I’ve said it somewhere else but they’d end up like the Ryu and Ken of Marvel, two Buster charging high flying characters. I agree he doesn’t seem to fit his original designs at all, but they have to draw the line somewhere. X horizontal Buster, Zero angular Buster, that team would be fucking stupid and that’s before we even consider all the potential weapons X could have. Team Buster with Space Stone would be ridiculous, it’s a good job they don’t have chip damage. Charge Buster, throw boomerangs, release, switch, charge Buster, teleport, release, teleport, and so on. That’s before I’ve even tried it.
“Seems to be” ≠ “actually is”. In actuality this is just a bullshit conclusion that you reached from skimming over our posts and then you thought that posting your handy Sirloin shit would negate the points we brought up entirely when they did anything except that. Your post “seems to be” against the concept of fun in video games as a whole. If you’re not, then why are you throwing out Sirloin quotes in an attempt to invalidate our opinions? They have nothing to do with each other. You are strawmanning the fuck out of this like usual.
What I said was that fun needs to be considered first when designing a game. I don’t give a fuck how big of an eSports presence you want it to have, you have to make the game fun. Giving X a large fanservice-heavy moveset is fun. Giving him what he has now and making him solely utilitarian for “hardcore” play is NOT fun.
You’re so eager to call everyone else a scrub and pull up quotes from what you consider the “holy messiahs” of fighting games (who are actually more like the sanitation workers of fighting games), yet I’m willing to bet you’re actually dog shit at fighting games. I’m positive if we both found a game to play and commit to that I would fucking destroy you every time we encountered each other.
@ Josh
Zero is already a broken character to begin with, X would just be even more broken. Horizontal projectiles are always super strong, can you imagine a chargeable horizontal arial Buster? Give him reality Stone so now are you not only locked down by a homing projectile but now you’re also locked down from moving in the air as well. Chris’ shotgun aims diagonally for that very reason, because it’s range and coverage would make it impossible for people to move. Now you can do all that shit and switch to another partner like Dr. Strange to lock them down even further? The balance has been well thought of, I agree it’s not ideal but X is a broken mess waiting to happen.
Again, why are you complaining about broken shit? I thought that was the whole point of Marvel?
I also didn’t say anything about Zero. I don’t care about any of that stuff, excuses don’t make a game better. X should be the ultra fanservicey design that X fans have wanted for decades, he shouldn’t be stifled because of a fucking rock.
@flicky
I’ve always felt horizontal aerial beams performed better than horizontal fireballs. Ryu and Mega Man had them, and they were quite underwhelming tbh
When you say “had” them, are you referring to Volnutt? Was his chargeable?
“Ryu and Mega had them”
“Are you referring to Volnutt?”
Wut?
Megaman Classic in MVC1 had horizontal fireballs. His hard punch was a fireball and could be charged up to be even bigger, doing one hit per second of charge time.
TvC…
The lack of attack diversity with X is kind of disappointing, but for me I would just make one small change to X Buster. Just allow X to move around while Charging, That’s like his thing idk why he can’t do it.
Wat? Here I’ll help you out, in a language you’ll understand, then come back and we can chat. -b
