Marvel vs Capcom Infinite (General)

*takes an very deep breath and unleashes a multi-headed wish.*
GIVE US BLEU!

lol, well they did a good job with the fake "notes" on character inclusion thoughts. That was a pretty hype roster though, not gonna lie lol.

FRANZISKA PLEASE!! Having Blackquill would be preeeetty awesome, but Fran is my favorite AA character.

Sigma is back on September 19th!

Could make sense since standalone Sigma probably isn't so much the story's villain or an important character, but it "would be cool" to have plain ol' Sigma instead of final boss Ultron Sigma. Playable version of the boss character, basically, which I can imagine would lose in priority to making more unique characters for the main cast.

Either way, I was fully prepared for DLC. After all, new video games haven't gotten more expensive since like the late 80s while their dev costs DEFINITELY have lol. They have to make their money somehow, and if it involves me getting Mega Man X stuff finally, let's go!

That didn't take long. Also. Did X use the giga attack when he was charging Ultron Sigma (Great name btw)?

What bugs me about the DLC is some people having double standards. Apparently it's okay for Netherrealms to do x but not Capcom. I understand that a new MvC game is making people think back on MvC3's DLC that people weren't happy about, but still.

Also, the DLC costumes you can get with a Deluxe or Collector's Edition pre-order. www.eventhubs.com/news/2017/apr/25/heres-look-marvel-vs-capcom-infinites-pre-order-costumes/

I think the real issue is HOW the DLC is done/handled by each company.

Netherrealm's had some missteps in the past (MKX featuring DLC characters as opponents in story mode), but the PC version of Mortal Kombat XL fixing/updating the MKX PC port and providing all the DLC was great.

Injustice 2 looks like it's handling DLC well so far (other than microtransactions).

-Premium costumes for Injustice 2 come with new voices and help make existing characters feel like new ones (Reverse Flash for Flash, the John Stewart version of Green Lantern for Hal Jordan Green Lantern, and if the rumors are true, Mr. Freeze for Captain Cold) and if those characters show up in story mode, it doesn't feel like a loss since they're re-skinned existing characters.
-Their pre-order character, Darkseid, is a big DC villain, but it doesn't look like he's going to be involved with the story mode, nor does it look like he'll be fused with another company's character in a crossover fighting game... again.
-It doesn't look like they're trying to do the Street Fighter 5 DLC model

Plus, when you have a DC game developed by the company behind Mortal Kombat and a Marvel game from the company behind Street Fighter, people are going to make comparisons about how one is better than the other, for better or for worse.



IIRC, a good chunk of the characters in UMVC3 were originally supposed to be DLC for MVC3. Jill and Shuma-Gorath were also disc-locked content and could be accessed by hackers.

As for Ultron, if Marvel being bigger name/property behind him is an issue, it kinda makes Capcom look bad/smaller by comparison for not including their villain.
