Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[master of read]

I'll preface this by saying that I am actively following the MvCi scene and genuinely think the game is the best Marvel to both spectate and play.

I think the roster is actually fine insofar that it is super well balanced and they were working on a small budget. Even returning characters got overhauled so they feel fresh and different.

The biggest issues were the art direction, which no one liked, and the fact Capcom gave them next to no money and cut support for the game very quickly. According to employees, the budget for the whole of MvCi was less than half the budget for SFV's DLC alone. Why they did this for a game that works with the largest franchise on the planet, I don't know but given what they were working with MvCi is something of a miracle.

If you're so inclined to check out MvCi in the competitive world, which I would recommend, watch the Top 8 from Combo Breaker 2019 which was the largest Marvel Tournament of the season and really exceptional to watch.

If you're interested in playing, I would recommend checking out The Gauntlet at i_c_u_hater on Twitch. It's a weekly online tournament that usually has around 20 - 30 people in the bracket and Doncon the Hater is an excellent host. Highly worth it! It's fun to play and to watch.

i watched combo breaker a few weeks ago and i loved the top 8.

my issue with the roster is it felt too similar to UMVC3 for my and a lot of people's tastes. i enjoy some of the new characters, bucky mostly, but even with the tweeked gameplay of the returning characters, it still felt too much like marvel 3. i mean, when you compare marvel 1, 2, and 3, they do feel like different games in terms of the roster. but that's just me i guess.

True, it was a standard match but I sum it up as nobody on the other team learned about aiming artillery or they're bots.

I mean...I slammed into an island and was stuck on reverse but nobody really paid much attention to me...

no I mean there are literally two game modes, pvp which is against other players, and pve which is against bots, and the pve one is on by default if memory serves(it's also ridiculously easier and gives you ridiculously less exp to play, it's more for just getting the hang of things)

Oh, then it's definitely pvp.

I just thought they mixed in bots in case they don't have enough players.

Yeah, that's because those games had a budget. MvCi didn't. I'm not saying this excuses it but people going "Why did they reuse so much stuff and only make smaller changes?" seems a bit disingenuous to me.

Because Capcom staff were explicitly told to reuse assets from UMvC3 because there was no money for much new stuff.

Again, the game is a miracle that it runs as good as it does and is as good as it is.

and the fact that there were no xmen which............didn't go over well with a lot of peeps.

but i don't hate the game. despite the problems, i still love it.

A new Kengan Omega chapter is out and characters from Fist of the Seeker are going to be making an appearance. It’ll be interesting to see the redesigns of the characters. Also Koga’s character development has been great.

I’m watching Mindhunter on Netflix. The dude that plays Edmund Kemper does way too good a job.

Oh goodie. It's going to be focused on Deku AND Bakugo. Yeay.

...like I still generally find Bakugo entertaining. But their relationship is one of the few major issues I have with the series at this point.

Oh well. It's a new MHA-movie. I'm hyped.
