I need to see gameplay matches, right now it looks like an anime fighter with anime marvel characters.

Having a tag system or assist doesn't make it a vs game, and I think some folks gonna be disappointed thinking they about to play mvc and instead it's Guilty gear strive tag.

Same with 2xko which feels nothing like a VS game and it also got a ton of love initially.

Easily game of the event :blessed: . Great seeing Arc Systems get a chance to cook with Marvel. Hope they have a crazy roster.

This and the new Virtua Fighter are 2 of my most anticipated games for the future.

Seriously tho, no way
Marvel 3 was called anime by plenty when it first released. It even has the most common anime button layout. 3 attack and one special button. Marvel 3 also has a lot of non linear moves, much like anime

But it actually gets much deeper than that. You wouldn't even have anime without the Vs series and Darkstalkers. Most of the characteristics of anime fighters came from X Men vs Street Fighter. Shyt like wall splats, varied movement, jump cancelable normals, launchers/air combos are the things commonly associated with anime today.

Then you have Darkstalkers, a series defined by it's weird and unorthodox character designs and mechanics. You can see Darkstalkers DNA all over a game like Guilty Gear. You could put Morrigan, Demitri, Jedah in GG and not miss a beat. The influence is blinding when you step back

Taking it even further than that, who was the very first air dasher? SF2 Dhalsim:wow: He was also(along with Blanka) the first "weird" character. A type of weird that lends to the creation of Darkstalkers. This is why Dhalsim is a top 5 design. Nikka created a whole genre on his own:wow:

So yea marvel is anime, but you wouldn't even have anime without Capcom:wow:

Honestly I’m glad Arc Sys got the license for this. It’s time another competent dev took a shot at it because MvC crowd :flabbynsick:has become so fukkin annoying if it doesn’t play like MAHVEL.

The added benefit is that we can start to see a fukk ton characters we never considered and new iterations of legacy characters. Doom looks so fukkin amazing in this version so far.

I'm very happy and i'm going to play that game like i had no job

BUT

It's not a MvC replacement for me, because it's lacking the free flow movement MvC usually has.

So i'm happy, but also sad that MvC4 won't happen :(

I really hope Capcom is working on a Capcom vs Capcom game
