Speaking of great mechanics, and also DLC characters, desk put Black Panther through his paces.
He can jump cancel and dash cancel out of nearly anything, apparently. I feel like I'm gonna be fighting be fighting a lot of Panthers in the immediate future.
 
I don't think MVC:I is gonna be lasting much longer, especially considering it failed to make the main EVO lineup for 2018.
 
I've been playing Infinite recently and the game just depresses me. I mean the gameplay itself is pretty solid I'll give it that, but the character roster is just so shallow even with the dlc characters, and the story isn't that exciting either. I think my biggest problem however is that the game just feels a little too serious. One of the main charms of the original games is that they were wacky and knew that the premise was ridiculous but just went with it anyway, and to be fair there are bits of bizarreness scattered throughout. But most of it just feels grim, which would be fine for a game like Mortal Kombat or even other Capcom fighting games like Street Fighter, but for Marvel Vs Capcom it just felt kinda out of place.

Kinda odd to see it lose out to Blaze Blue, considering that game isn't even out yet. Like, DBZ, SFV, both Smash games, and Tekken were all obvious choices and should all have been selected over Marvel, but losing out to an as yet unreleased game from a traditionally much less popular series has got to hurt.

Marvel is dead, and Capcom has killed it. Press S to spit on its grave

They managed to get the trash fire that was Street Fighter X Tekken into two EVOs but they couldn't manage Marvel even as an exhibition? I guess Capcom's not throwing nearly as much money into Evo as they used to.

This might be because they've got the whole Capcom Cup thing though. They can easily shoehorn it into one of their own tournaments, if they cared to at this point.

Not sure, but I heard that Marvel isn't even going to be featured in the Cup. Capcom may well just be cutting their losses and pretending this game didn't exist.

probably the only marvel game, to never be featured at evo, not even once.
that speaks volumes about the magnitude of its flop.

The only way they can salvage this is by announcing X-men characters (among others) as DLC around the time of Infinity Wars' release.

:optimistic:
 
I played MvC3 (vanilla) competitively at a tournament level. My winnings in MvC3 and UMvC3 is upwards of $1000 (though I spent more than that on the console, games, and travel expenses).

I remember loving MvC2. I was never great at it but it was always one of my favourite games. I used to watch the footage of major tournaments for it like it was the superbowl and the olympics rolled into one. When they announced MvC3, I was more excited for a game than I'd ever been for anything in my life.
MvCI is depressing. I don't even want to think about it.
 
Anyone else enjoying the MvC Collection? Marvel vs Capcom 1 and X-Men COTA are so good. The stage art for some of the older games is also just beautiful
