the irony is that i'd still probably play this game if i could get it for super cheap or better yet free and i had some actual competition. and of course if the bursts proved to not be a problem (they are going to be a problem).

this is mostly because I think ghost rider is probably a loving house in this game and also i like gamora

personally I already have the game paid for and am pretty optimistic that the actual gameplay will be fun. I think capcom sucks tho and 4 colors per guy is weak poo poo esp with two of them being locked, and not enough women fighters. excited about doing 60 second combos ftw

im on the fence paying a shady russian site for the game, i might do it just to dick around in training mode which would be worth about $30 to me

also tbh the more i see of the tag mechanics, the more i think that buried under a bunch of bad decisions about dlc and roster choices, there might be a legit fun game in there

Cause its a new mechanic and its not on the top of everyones minds, and its not big and flashy like the stone activations.

I imagine with time it will be quite a big deal.

dunno who it was but the guy playing against fchamp was almost exclusively using his meter on bursting. it would end up okay sometimes but fchamp was still beating the poo poo out of the character that gets tagged out cause he just hangs out on screen for a while and has to be protected.

You can only do it once per character, or just once period can't remember which. I can't imagine it crippling gameplay or anything.

10 gig download before you get into the game itself, which has a reaaaaally lengthy install where you have access to training mode.

Why would you have a limited number of uses of it per round and also it cost 2 meters?

I got tired of making GBS threads on the game so I'm trying to be optimistic about what I've seen that I do like but it ain't a lot and the game outside of some of the combo stuff doesn't look super interesting to watch others play. Maybe I will be proven wrong, but one thing to make sure I don't care about discussion is reducing a lot of it to lame buzzwords and also being really reductive about the medium in general.

Unless the game really surprises me I will play the game for about a week with Tabs, drop it and go back to playing Fate/Unlimited Codes whenever I find a PS2 stick that doesn't have lovely button feel is my unironic take, gologle.

With something like mind stone its not inconceivable to build 10+ bars in a match, so I figure that's why.

I'm basically holding out until I see a real match that Yipes is commentating. That tends to be my pass/fail on whether I can stand to watch somebody else play a game or not.

Where the big boys RAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGH FUCK YOU
Haggar's punch super doesn't ground bounce, you can't mash it, the pipe seems a lot weaker but he can get gold out of his barrels so I consider this a fair trade

I watched a bit of KBR trying to lab Hulk/Haggar and he just seems so sad that nothing seemed to carry over from Ultimate

With all that I've seen, I'm sure MvC:I will actually be a success b/c it's very fun in training mode and when BSing with friends, but as a tournament game much like SFxT it's going to get very ugly very quickly.

game looks fun enough. i love fighters that straddle the line between being unplayable and wonderful, this game looks like it has the makings of something truly bad in a great way. hard to tell without having my hands on it though

early on capcom did a really bad job of instilling any amount of confidence that this game would be anything less than total poo poo and thats why its had the reaction it has

This game looks dumb and I'll pick it up when it goes on sale for $5. But I'm not paying $90 for garbage like this.

I'll add it to the pile of poverty games that I know one stupid gimmick in.

if they put the effort into making a bunch of new chars and more effort into saying "hey we're doing away with 3v3 because with thin kthis 2v2 tag system has lots of freedom but you can still play the old 3v3 games if you want" id probably be way more interested idk

like, the tag system is actually interesting! talk about it more!

So yeah, You ain't limited in how many times a round you can do it, it just costs 2 meter, but it also doesn't give you a hit. It tags your character in and forces a focus switch on the enemy, cutting their combo short but not necessarily giving you anything more than that.

isn't the answer to this to just instantly poo poo out a beam super and tag both characters, then?

not sure what the answer is or isn't at this point because the gameplay this far is pretty loving clownish

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

So hitstun decay in this game is based off your damage dealt in a combo, not the number of hits. With this in mind generally combos are only going to be in the 5.5-6k damage range before stuff drops(average health being 10k) unless you can get stuff hitting back to back uninterrupted with certain tag combos and the like.

Watching KBR stream and he's super bummed about this because it means a large character like haggar or hulk effectively is stuck doing the same damage as everyone else, and its basically another knock against big characters because they no longer have the benefit of doing more damage than everyone else now ontop of the usual lack of mobility issues.
