There exists no fighting game where players don't poo poo on the netcode, there's bad and less bad.

Just don't buy the ultimate edition, they wouldn't have made the 6 dlc characters at all if the dlc didn't exist.

People seem happy with the netcode in MK XL, Injustice 2, and KI. I played a buttload of Injustice 2 when it came out and I had very few matches that felt bad.

And I don't entirely understand your second point.

Would you guys be more interested in this game if it had a F2P model?

I'm not as down on it as most of the people in here, but I have next to no interest in spending close to a hundred bucks on a game that will probably have bad net code and a small player base.

Considering I've been saying since the drat thing was announced that all of their decisions would be justified if it was a F2P mobile release and the only reason it's what it is is everything needs to be eSports these days, I'd absolutely give it a shot if it was F2P. I can't speak as to how long I'd play for, but I'd give it a go as opposed to not giving a poo poo about the game in it's current form.

Eh, the base game is gonna be "feature complete", DLC characters aren't really features. I mean, you can poo poo on Capcom for announcing 6 characters before even releasing the game while having a pretty limited roster, but DLC is DLC, even if it's aggressive and probably already being worked on DLC.

I mean, I'm just sayin' you're saying something wrong when there's plenty of legit poo poo moves in MVCI. You can be wrong if you want and really, no one would notice a difference, but there are no features missing unless you buy the $40 season pass. Maybe there are some functions missing, but as far as I can remember they ain't selling this game without story mode unless you pay for it.

they copy and pasted almost the entire roster and are offering copy and pasted characters as dlc, even with that, there are less characters than the game before it.

the game is not feature complete.

That means the game is bad, maybe that the game has less features than its predecessor, but "feature complete" implies you need to buy a season pass to get, I'unno, the story mode they promised for the base game. It's just a weird thing when people add DLC characters for any game, really, as "YOU MUST BUY THIS" in the year of our Lord Keits 2017. You wouldn't get it for free in the "good ol' days", you'd just have to buy the revision/expansion pack anyway.

Capcom is still garbage, don't worry, I'm not disagreeing.

This would be a legitimate point if the roster didn't exist unless you bought each character individually.

e; I have absolutely no doubt this was suggested during design meetings for MVCI.

No, actually this doesn't make any sense.

To be clear, I have no problem buying the season pass or whatever for a game if the game is good. I spent the same amount on Injustice 2 that they're charging for the "full" version of MvCI. I care less about the fact that they're charging so much, and more about the fact that they're charging so much for something that looks cheaply made and is probably bad.

So the second point, the DLC characters would not exist if they weren't DLC. The game would have 6 less characters, in fact the game might not have even been made at all without the potential to generate the extra revenue from DLC.

The discussion was about the game being feature complete, you implied that it wasn't feature complete because of 'the roster'.

I am saying that nobody can reasonably say it's feature incomplete due to 'the roster' as it has a base roster of 30+ unique characters.

I mean, that's a completely legitimate reason to talk poo poo about a season pass. I still think equating DLC characters with base features echoes some dumb DLC complaints to the tune of "it's developers withhelding stuff to make more money" when usually that poo poo wouldn't exist or continued support wouldn't exist without those DLC plans, and if we're gonna give Capcom poo poo I'd rather focus on how BAD their DLC plans are. I hate how aggressive it is, Injustice 2 and MKX at least gave us sturdy rosters and waited more than no time at all to announce their DLC plans and pricing. MVCI just feels like Capcom wants to cash in with the least effort possible, it borders on mobage BS mentality-wise.

Sure, but that roster isn't complete unless you buy the season pass.

Again, my problem isn't that the season pass exists or that the game is unplayable without it, my point is that only very good games can get away with doing stuff like this.

$100+ bucks for the complete version of a game that looks like it could have been a F2P mobile game is nuts.

it blows my mind that this game is releasing with like 4 new characters on the base roster and still has the outdated Spencer. MVC3 had 20 brand new on the base roster plus around 10 other new ones for UMVC3 expansion.

Even Tekken 7 has more new base characters, and also sold more in 2 months than SFV did in an entire year so lol at MVCI's chances of matching that

I agree with the general point (that MVCI probably won't get to 200k viewers) but it's a bit unfair to compare these numbers when the games might be in different time slots.

Look at the numbers from 2016 where Marvel does much better:

Tekken 7: Fated Retribution (Saturday) - 35,498 viewers
Smash Bros. Wii U (Saturday) - 71,141 viewers
Pokken Tournament (Saturday) - 23,980 viewers
Killer Instinct (Saturday) - 25,596 viewers
Mortal Kombat XL (Sunday) - 104,586 viewers
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Sunday) - 121,878 viewers
Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator (Sunday) - 136,914 main channel
Super Smash Bros. Melee (Sunday) - 219,125 main channel
Street Fighter V (Sunday) - 182,716 main channel

Marvel had a much better viewership when it wasn't the first morning slot. And you should see that the games that had Saturday Slots all did much better on Sunday Slots, cause it shows how much viewership changes based on slots. If you put MVCI at a better position it'd probably have as much numbers as UMVC3 had in 2015 (which was the peak afaik, at ~165k) unless the game ends up worse than SF5.

This sounds like damage control. You seem to want to defend the game without actually having to commit to anything so you do this weird two-step where you talk about how the game is going to fail and sell like poo poo but also have "hundreds of thousands" of stream views or whatever because the FGC is just filled with crybabies who want to talk poo poo about everything.
