Marvel VS Capcom Infinite

[Derek Metaltron]

So damned pissed right now. DC is perfectly able to have Netherealm do Injustice 2 and a solid DC only fighting game for consoles, but we Marvel fans, despite the fact it's more popular than ever, STILL have to share space with fecking Capcom characters we don't care about! Half the damn roster, wasted! And you can bet there's no story on the level of Injustice to be had, just Capcom trying to make the bloody thing as suited to endless competitions on the paid fighting game comp range.

I don't like anything about Injustice yet I love the Capcom games and love the fact that two companies I like are doing a vs game again, Marvel and Capcom both know this game will have a far longer shelf life then Injustice since every major FGC tournament will have this game in the marquee where Injustice can't make that claim

Netherrealm just learned how to make a decent fighting game with 9 and X. Before that they haven't anything decent since UMK3. They still have no idea how to balance a game. Damn near every DLC character they released in X jumped to being one of the best characters in the game. If I had to have someone else develop a Marvel game it would be Arc systems for sure. Love their work with the Guilty Gear series; all of the vibrant colors and the quirkiness of the characters in that game would lend itself quite nice to making a Marvel fighting game.

I will say it is nice that we are finally getting Marvel games on consoles, which is half the battle I was campaigning for, and since I have heard those games were well made I would be interested if they gave a hand at a Marvel only fighting game, especially if they picked a solid storyline like Secret Wars or something as the basis. They also made one of my fav DBZ games in Supersonic Warriors.

Supersonic Warriors man you took it back. Definitely one of my favorites out of that series.

my take is you can have a good story mode and balanced fighting mechanics. what good is playing the story mode if the game play is jank? one of my favorite fighting games is SVC chaos. it has a great set-up, especially with the graphic novels but even i know the gameplay is busted, hence why you don't see it played most, if not any tournament.

And thanks for answering my concern for me... because THAT'S what we need MVCI for, endless tournaments of whiney Capcom and fighting game nits which basically make the game impossible to play unless you're as 'pro' as they are. Give me Injustice's solid alternate universe storyline any day over that nonsense.

You seriously want Capcom to prioritize a story mode for a fighting game?

Erm, yes? A story mode gives you the right hook and premise set up for a fighting game. Mortal Kombat and Injustice have done it well enough to the extent that Street Fighter put it in, and now apparently MVCI too. Marvel has plenty of storylines to use for inspiration in a Marvel fighting game... in my choice 2015's Secret Wars for the array of alternate realities for characters to come from.

I wonder if they'll get back Mark Gatha as X?

The fans of this series ain't going to play it for a story mode. They want to use their favorite characters and beat the crap out of each other. They don't care for story context behind it. I sure as hell don't.

That's the thing you don't have to be a "pro" you just have to at bare minimum know the basics like throwing a hadoken

No she wasnt. Marrow only joined the X-men in 97, 3 years before the game came out. She was a one off villian prior to that and she definitely not that popular. My point remains though that the general public didnt know her and unless you were reading X-men books, she was unknown. She had no push in any game, cartoon or live action adaptation, which is how most gamers came to know the X-men. The 90s cartoon and 16 bit era did wonders to boost their presence to people that didnt read books. Marrow did not benefit from any of that. You are really overestimating how well known she was to the general public prior to that game

She didn't need a push like that. The X-Men line of comics were the biggest group of comics at the time. Just being a cool looking character and being positioned as a driving force behind a crossover is a push. Uncanny X-Men was routinely the number one comic of the month, she was in those. Far more people were reading comics back then, so while she maybe wasn't known to as many people as someone that showed up in the cartoon, she was still none why a whole lot of people. Although in the '90s I didn't know anyone that watched the X-Men cartoon and didn't read the comics too. Marrow was probably seen by more people in X-Men Prime, Generation X, and that Uncanny X-Men #325 Anniversary issue then than more people read stuff like Ms. Marvel.

If you knew the cartoon you probably knew the comic book too by 1995. If we're counting the games and the cartoon as general public things I'm not sure why the comics (and toys) aren't being counted as general public things too given the numbers they were still selling in.

I still think Wolverine will be in the game roster.
