interesting conversation going on on NeoGaf right now concerning the potential roster size. in a game where assets are clearly being reused, why not just slap in the u/mvc3 roster, add additional characters and call it a day?

50 u/mvc3 characters + 20 newcomers sounds like a good deal to me

Boy are you gonna be disappointed when this game comes out (so are we all).

i know realistically speaking they wont, what im saying is, why not

reused assets is literally a staple of this franchise

Because the only evidence of re-used assets in the animations, which are maybe 20% of a characters total cost, if that.

The idea that there's this huge market of people that are willing to put tons of money and time into a game but they won't because the mechanics are too hard or whatever is bullshit

This might be true for fighting games so far, but I can guarantee you that there's a poo poo load of evidence out there for making games 'easier' (meaning more accessible) being the path to making buttloads of money.

Look at genre defining games like WoW, CoD4 or LoL and then look at the titles in that genre previously.

I can't speak to CoD but while they might be simplified compared to their predecessors, LoL and WoW are still fairly complex games. League is a dumbed down DotA but it still has like a billion different heroes that can be built in a bunch of different ways and talent trees and items etc. I don't like it and I have literally zero desire to play it but its a good example of how a game doesn't have to be dumbed down to idiot baby level to be successful.

How does "advertised as made easier for new/casual players to get into" suddenly become "dumbed down to idiot baby level"?

I agree that the previous two capcom fighting games are bad and were advertised as easier to access to new players but niether of them are idiot baby levels of dumbed down, just the total wrong things simplified for the audience they want to capture.

That assumes the DLC characters aren't basically done and aren't being intentionally held back to milk the userbase which is exactly the kind of thing I now expect from Capcom.

It plainly doesn't cost time or effort to make new characters, so why Capcom insists on placing monetary value on them is ridiculous.


There's no malice involved because they don't give two shits, there is however wilful ignorance about why games are made coming from people making this kind of statement.

nah that's not part of a pattern or anything, it's a conspiracy to suggest capcom markets their games using fgc member credibility

Holy poo poo a company engages with the community, how dare they. The graphics look a bit poo poo in the promo art and some cutscenes (seems pretty much entirely bad lighting rather than fundamental issues), we best get on the train calling the entire game a poo poo scam to steal our money before we even play it.

At best Justin/Champ/Kbrad/etc got tickets and travel/accommodation, it's a free trip, not working. If you're working at a public event representing your company, you have to constantly be on the ball making sure you don't say the wrong thing, offend somebody or perhaps portray the product in a negative light because your livelyhood depends on your wage.

It's most likely even worse for Combofiend as he's been friendly, or even worse unfriendly, with those attending for years. It's like having to work the bar at a party for all your friends, while they enjoy themselves you are stood there jobbing it.

Unconstructively making GBS threads on something is never going to give you an improved end product or future product, it's just going to make people stop listening.

There's no conspiracy because everybody with a brain understands what is happening, reacting like it's some big secret is what makes you seem like a conspiracy loon. Along with stuff like:

Of course it doesn't apply to him because *made up reasons that definitely don't apply to people who say anything positive*. Like Justin totally needs Capcom to invite him to E3 or he will become irrelevant.

I've basically learned not to read any threads about a game I actually might enjoy because the constant negatives for page after page stops me actually enjoying the game.

We'll all be disappointed if the game is poo poo, no need to put yourself through the pain of thinking it will be poo poo for the next 3 months on top of that. The crusade of 'destructive criticism' and 'negative propaganda' (lol) against capitalism/capcom won't make a difference to their bottom line, the game being actually poo poo or not on release will.

I think that's almost entirely to blame on the fact that it's being rushed as poo poo (seemingly more so than every other game ever).

I watched it if you have any questions, I don't know what to start with describing it.

- About 1 minute or so showing how the series/tournaments have grown since Xmen vs SF to UMVC3, old tournament footage spliced with footage from Infinite CG cutscenes, was actually quite cool and would be a decent trailer for competitive MVCI.
- MVCI 'esports' for 2017 will be mostly online based qualification and then part of Capcom Cup in 2018
- revenue/costing for suits and TO's

Game looks worse than we'd like, SFV had a bad release even if Capcom are genuinely supporting it, netcode is likely to be bad because there is no such thing as good netcode for games that require frame specific inputs in a PvP situation, fair if hyperbolic statements. Not wanting to buy the game also fine.

Pretty sure you can buy MVCI for like $50 though so calling it $100 is just a lie.

Fellblade
Apr 28, 2009
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.

personally, and maybe its just me, but I feel like the roster is a pretty big "feature" in a fighting game

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.

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.

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.

fadam posted:

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.

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.

It's not about positive it's about engaging rather than circle jerking and dog piling.

I think it would be interesting to discuss things like how it's apparently a complete failure to make fighting games accessible for newcomers and is likely the complete opposite, maybe what they could have done differently without ruining it for high levels of play at the same time.

While being hit, you can tag in your second character for 2 meters (combo can continue).

Fellblade
Apr 28, 2009

fadam posted:

So you can try and use the second character to stop the combo? That's kind of neat I guess. Does the damage on the non-active character increase or whatever like in previous games or no?

I guess that's the idea, damage doesn't change.

I think it's unlikely that a combo is going to continue long with another character on screen as all the moves/inputs are relative to the 'active' character, even if you don't try and get a hit on them.

Your opponent can also tag (for free) at the same time to stop you stopping the combo, though that leaves their initial character vulnerable for a long rear end time. You can get happy birthday'd here quite easily it seems.
