Honest question: does having the Capcom crossover add any revenue? Are there people who buy this off those brands? Would a Marvel tag fighter be just as viable?

An exclusively Marvel character fighter? This series started as just that, and Marvel Super Heroes is still an amazing fighting game on every level. Looking at Injustice people will go for a Marvel fighter, especially a Marvel Super Heroes 2, which MvCi kinda is technically speaking.
X-Men Academy and that odd X-Men arena fighter EA did were... eh. So we'd want Capcom on top of it. |

Roommate actually picked this up for me, since I helped build some shelving for him in his room a few weeks ago.
Tried some characters out in training. Going to take a while to get used the basics even. I like Thanos. I fucking LOVE Gamora. Honestly don't know how much I'll play it though. All in on Destiny 2, rocking GTA Online with Heisenberg, and Gundam Versus comes out Tuesday. |

Also, someone data mined the game and found 12 DLC slots as opposed to 6. So there could be a second "season" of dlc characters. ugh.

Think capcom said they'd do it in season packs. I don't mind, makes more sense here than other fighters.

Way a particular story scene plays out it almost seems like you would have to fight black panther and monster hunter.
Had that happened I would have mailed the game to capcom's offices with a fresh turd squashed inside. |

They very likely have all 6 characters up and running right now. They're just smart enough not to leave them on disc this time. That arbitrary detail is literally enough to quell people, which is why I thought it was silly.
And now that Sony/Microsoft are gonna host entire characters rather than unlock keys, they will cost more than Jill and Shuma did, unless you got the season pass. And that's the game. |

This apparently absolutely bombed in the UK. Talking sold worse than not just SFV which was on one platform, but Ultra Street Fighter 2 on Swtich.

"Let's add a story mode, everybody asks for it."
"I dunno... We could more stages and characters with these funds." "It will be great, just like SFV. We'll sell more copies." "Once people got the story mode they riffed it. I dunno..." "It'll be fine." "Okay..." |

Eh.
A few more characters wouldn't have helped the roster from feeling lazy and uninspired. Lot of reasons why this game wouldn't sell that well. Presence of a story mode isn't something I 'd look at first. Plus in today's enviornment more people would have been upset if there wasn't a story mode. Blame Netherealm. They changed what was expected of single player in a mainstream fighter, and anyone who doesn't follow suit gets backlash. |

Sad case. In any case this is gonna super niche anyway. All that talk about accessibility and I can tell you right now MvC3 was much easier to get started in, because there's way more in terms of normals and move variations to think about. It feels very 'oldschool' fighter in that sense, while also having some convenient mechanics in there.
Personally this game joins SoulCalibur and SFxT as a game I'm becoming very proficient in. And it's fun to lose (mostly), which for me is a good sign of a combat system. But yet again (just like SFxT and SCV, actually) there's things other than the design that will detour people - like reused models, bargain bin presentation, and drama behind the scenes. But I don't need the world to buy this game. I got it. I play it. And you need to stop ducking me and Khuntry. Thanos rocks. |

I'm ducking you because I don't even know the basics yet. I pretty much skipped MvC 3, so playing me would be like the Chicago Bulls playing your average high school basketball team. You would be bored, and I wouldn't learn anything from getting squashed that bad.
Also, while I was joking on facebook, there was a bit of truth to. I'll be playing Injustice 2, and think "Okay, that's enough. Gotta boot up (insert game here) and start practicing" And just as I say that a new multiverse event opens up with epic gear or diamond motherbox rewards and I'm like "Just one more". Said it before, and I'll say it again. Putting a loot grind system in a fighting game was fucking brilliant. |

There is an online training mode in a lobby we can do and I will spend all the time you need to get up to speed. I assure you this is a marvel game you will get behind. Way more ways to express your playstyle than 'pick this team with this assist or don't bother'.

Good as the gameplay might be, this game was unhyped from the start.

Trailers and presentation was very unenthusiastic. Capcom is usually good with that. MvC3 and SFxT's hype train was orgasmic. Didn't feel that with MvCi or SFV for that matter.

Also of note, Marvel Vs rarely does well in Japan. They never really jived with the playstyle.

Bucky, Widow, and Venom drop to tomorrow and that's that for Season 1. The future is laced with rumors so have a seat and take all this with a grain of salt.

Why is Asura so requested? He was in one game. One game that wasn't even that good.
Every time I see someone online asking why sigma was put in, instead of asura, I die a little inside. |

It is also gonna free to play this weekend on PS4 for PS+ members perhaps give it a try before you buy. It's the most reasonable the series has ever been but things can still get ugly against certain people with certain characters. Try it first.
