I just dont see this game as for me. I remember waiting in line for Marvel 3 at midnight when it came out, I stopped playing it after a week. I have a feeling I will do the same here, and for similar (and more) reasons.
The cast is just.....I love capcom and Marvel, and I just dont see who I would want to play. Its funny because I had the same problem with MVC3, I was running Lei Lei Deadpool cause I didnt like the roster much outside of Deadpool and meanwhile that roster had way more characters and 0 reused assets
This game outside of the mvc2 control scheme and new tag system is just a rehash of MVC3...and I didnt really like the MVC3 mechanics and style either outside of combo practice so I dunno. Ill always be MVC2 for life.
The truth of this game was that its designed for the hardcore tournament players (The game came packaged with a esports league backed by Capcom) and nobody else and its cool the hardcore fans finally have a sequel.
But when people say casuals like shytty graphics and movie tie ins....who are they kidding? Who is Ultron anyway? Who ever gave a fukk about Hawkeye? Who cares about Chris over Jill or even Leon? People prob would go crazy over Claire too fukk it. And oh yeah RE7 came out, no characters from there. How about Doc Ock from Spidey?? Carnage? Punisher is on Netflix soon.....Etc etc....blaming Marvel is silly, its easier to just copy and paste from MVC3. And before people say Copy/paste is a series staple...there were more new characters in MVC2 than this game, and people have said that sprite art takes more time and effort than 3d modeling. And despite the roster being 85 percent (90percent?) MVC3 copy and paste jobs...its still less characters than mvc3 (prob because they couldnt copy/paste the Xmen).
Back to casuals...Casuals are going to notice bad animations for walking and missing animations from crouch to stand or basic movement because they suck. Hardcore players will be dashing, triangle jumping, all kinds of crazy shyt, you wont ever notice many of the bad animations during a high level e sports tournament. I think Capcom intentionally cut corners because they knew this and they knew how they were marketing this game long term (e$ports).
But anyway instead of trashing the game I will say I appreciate the people who like it and put their effort into it. Its cool to see high level play and honestly I think that is the reality of what Capcom was looking for.
Im not gonna make another negative post about the game....because at the end of the day the people who like this game dont wanna hear that shyt so I'd rather just give em support.
