Current Events > Why was Marvel vs Capcom INFINITE hated???

(+) Yeah! (+)

This looked good, look at the design, gameplay

I am guessing people hated the roster?

2v2 and an obvious plug for the MCU in favor of other characters

Plastic eggs.

Something something functions

Downgrade from 3x3 to 2x2
Seemingly reused character models
No X-Men characters, which are major characters in Mahvel games
DLC announcements before the game was released

-Characters were considered very off model from what was shown before release

-MCU tie in meant fan favorite MvC characters like the Xmen were absent

-Really poor PR from community reps coming up to release. Infamously there was a line excusing Magneto's absence that went like "characters are really just functions, you can perform Magneto's functions with this other character in the game"

-Nobody cares about le Infinity Stones

This, isn't this also the game where they simply described characters as functions when asked about no x-men?

Because Disney saw it as a MCU advertisement rather than a new entry in a beloved fighting game series

Capcom did they best they could but they obviously werent allowed to do whatever they wanted when it came to the Marvel half of the roster

my understanding is people disliked it was more inspired by the MCU than the comics

This. No X-Men sucked nards, some character models were weird, and people didn't like it going back to 2v2. I hated it because they fucking nerfed my girl Morrigan into the ground. Flight-cancels were what made her unique and fun, then they just tore that away and turned her back into another boring semi-shoto :<

-No it did not look good. I'm not a graphics mutant but geez what'd they do to all the regular humans? Chun, Spencer, Haggar. I don't know if it was ever confirmed but people were saying Dante looked like an edited version of Jake from Resident Evil 6.
-2 vs 2 was a put off for me. Some people like fewer characters with more health and slower gameplay but I consider that a downgrade for a series that had by far its most success with the 3v3 format in MVC2 and UMVC3. More chaos please not less.
-Xmen axed, game was a generic MCU ad. MCU is soulless and designed to be easily exportable so they didn't bother giving anyone much personality beyond a few quips.
-Story sucked, guy was a MMX fan which was nice I guess but the other characters came off like a bunch of interchangeable whoevers. Dante didn't feel like Dante at all.
-DLC schemes waiting in the wings, if it wasn't weird enough that the first was was 2 Capcom characters (One was bland nothing character repping Monster Hunter, the other was a co-main villain of the game being cut out and sold to you later.) and 4 Marvel characters, they were apparently planning to nickel and dime people with a bunch more.
-No voice direction. Go watch a video of all the supers, listen to these guys just babbling on and on while doing moves. Then for extra credit go watch a comparison of Ghost Rider's lv3 in UMVC3 compared to Infinite's. How do you make that mistake? On another note the lines were really dumbed down from 3, Dr Strange's lv3 always stuck out the most to me. In 3 he's name dropping each technique he's using, in MVCI he's just going "I unleash the secret magic, I am Dr Strange the sorcerer supreme."
-Horrible music. Marvel side got generic cinematic scores which don't fit the game for the most part, Capcom got lame-ified versions of pre-existing songs.
-IT'S FUHNCTION BAYBEE!!
-Part of the soulless Esports presentation Capcom was already knee-deep into with SFV, they had this thing where you win certain tournaments to get infinity stones. There's this great moment where they ask a guy if he wants to use his stone which prevents his opponent from using one. The second guy then simply elects not to use one, invalidating the first guy's move and wasting his stone. MVC has a pretty raucous community and sucking the soul out of it in favor of a squeaky clean Esports presentation might as well be death.
-Roster was pretty lacking, felt like a much worse version of UMVC3's (Which was awesome) with a lot of disappointing cuts.
-Post 2012 Capcom cannot be trusted. This is what they do. They take your beloved franchise and find a way to water it down and sell a diminished version to casuals.
Edit: Oh might as well mention the fucking DmC Donte costume. The tone deafness was funny then and it's funny now.

Nice to see Jedah again I guess.

Oh yeah I liked that MegaMan was finally playable again

Its the disney pettiness of not putting in xmen. Xmen started the whole franchise but fuck you you can have Iron Fist

not 3v3
bad graphics

Just to repeat, no X-Men.

Ugly game. Roster sucked. Cant even fully blame it being an MCU ad because the Capcom side wasnt great either.

UMVC3 just had more to offer, so there was no reason to move on from it.

Apart from the reasons mentioned, the DLC roster was leaked and it was literally just making story characters playable. Nobody new that already isn't in the game.

And even umvc3 you couldnt even give me Cyclops??

Never played it but uhhow was it tied to the MCU?

Have you seen the Marvel roster? Might as well just call it Avengers Vs. Capcom.
