Marvel vs Capcom Infinite

I guess they weren't good enough functions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Oh hey Nemesis looks actually fun though.
 
Ok but as much as the function memes are going around, you guys no pretty darn well what those guys meant. Captain Commando's corridor, Level 3 X factor Virgil, Blackheart hole beam to death, even SG1's double Hirknet Bomber.

People picked characters not because they liked them but because they had good gimmicks that we're cheesy as heck. Strider no longer is just teleport and ouroborous spam, haggar has less Pipe reliance, etc.
 
Honestly though all he had to say was Sentinel instead of Magneto
Sent is function as fuck

Still a stupid way to talk imo.
To be honest communication on this game has been abyssimaly bad so...

I gotta agree tho I really don't like Sentinel either lol

maybe if they didn't make all those chun li costumes this didn't need to happen
 
Annnnnd the controversy is what exactly? THis is literally the company that created the Pallete swap and Clone character archtypes. As long as the characters is balanced who cres if every frame was cut from other characters?

Except it's Marvel vs Capcom. The only reason it sold like it did in the first place was because of WHO was in the roster, not how they played.

"That character you know from that other thing" being in MvC is the whole reason for existence of this franchise.

So yeah, suddenly saying people should focus on gameplay in their character choices for this game is dishonest as frig.

Just because some hardcores, who stayed in previous game for long frigging time, went for optimal teams, doesn't mean everyone does that.

I mean reusing assets always been a thing... I guess.
Even newcomers are just made of returning assets blended together to make some kind of Frankenstein monster.
I am however kinda upset they took Jill and Wesker moves for Gamora because i literally do not care about Gamora at all... :/

I mean that kind of stuff was fine in the 90s. Today? Not so much. Are we really gonna pull the grandfather clause on that? I literally know no one who miss the palette swap and clones Capcom was known for.

Gamora is really not that bad, sure they have similar and sometimes yes reused animations but they don't function the same and since we all love the meme about functions and whatnot recently at least this is a different situation

Now I love to tear capcom to shreds as much as the next girl but still, I think some of the things they are doing with Mvci are actually alright

Plus I dont wanna see anyone in this community especially bashing a frankenstein character when we literally have Fukua lmfao
 
i know. I just saw it and was a little worried people would go out on a witch hunt over that tweet. You know how people can get.

one thing that does concern me though is, how in the current build of the game if you lose a character... you're pretty much fucked.

there are no advanced defensive options to help you get out of sticky situations. So you're most likely going to be eating a ton of high low mixups till the cows come home. There is no way to set things back at neutral and to give yourself just a little bit of breathing room.

The only saving grace i can see is if someone has a soul gem and revives their teammate. but from what people are saying that's a once and done deal. lose a character again and you're back into the frying pan.
 
I feel like you deserve some degree of fucked if you manage to lose the same character twice

Fukua was an April Fools joke though.
You mean, like how Abigail should've been?

The only difference being that Fukua deserved to be in the roster, while Abigail doesn't?

How does Abigail "not deserve" to be in the SFV roster (and this isn't SFV thread)? Is it because Fukua was more economical for being hacked together? Frankly I hate Fukua from a flavor perspective for having no personality of her own and don't see how she "deserves" to be in the game, Abigail has his style. I accept Fukua because she really cheap to make, I don't see how the pile of code and Filia assets deserved anything.
 
Morrigan looks absolutely insane in this game
it's crazy
 
There is one thing that bothers me with all these videos. There's winning symbols at the end of every match. Blue V, red HC, etc.

But whats the point if everything is just one and done?....Unless you can have multiple rounds in a 2 vs 2 game. But surely thats not it...right?
 
you can have rounds in MvCI
that's been confirmed as far as I know
 
Dunno why you would ever WANT rounds in a VS game

but hey.
 
Morrigan's face still looks freaky. And the voice acting isn't... great...
 
Gameplays looks fine as hell, that's a good thing.
It's just everything else.... Oh well.

There is a valid point in stating that characters are composed of gameplay functions that people gravitate towards. I like rushdown, some people like dash options, whatever floats your boat. It's dishonest to say that functions are all people care about. You have a combination of lore, audio/visual, and gameplay components that compose a character. Saying people only liked Magneto because of his 8 way air dash was a dumb move and they need to just admit that they are not able to get the X-Men in the games for legal reasons.

Individual moves are fine, I put Jill on my teams back in MvC2 because of her green herb assist. But the identity of a character is more than just mechanics. We're going to play what characters fit our styles, but the PR for this game is a nightmare.

Edit: Incidentely I have picked each of my first mains in both BB and GG based on how insane their laugh is. Led me to Faust and Arakune and years later I play Zappa and Terumi. Combination of good visuals and good gameplay, I love watching Terumi dash in with that knife dragging the ground.

Playing Parasoul has made me realize how much I like swordsmen, having the most disjoint on everything. Makes me tempted to play Sin in Guilty Gear. However, I was also drawn to Parasoul and Kamui - from Arcana Heart - because they are poised, cool-headed young women with fairly simple and elegant outfits (Kamui's being more practical).

This.

Characters aren't just functions, and Combofiend doesn't deserve to hear the end of this. Ever.
