I still watch Cooperation Cup every year... one of the hypest tournaments in Japan.

Infinity gems?!?! Marvel super heroes hype!!!
It was shown at the end of a Capcom Cup and UMvC3 had been in Capcom Cup before. It'd be baffling if it wasn't.
not true as a rule for sure, but UMVC3 was struggling on its own even when nothing else was on the horizon
any migration of players to MVCI is going to pretty much end that game once and for all
I know we're off graphics, but this was SFV at the point where MVCI is now:

I bet the next trailer (presumably in a few months) will look considerably better.

Ryu has a weird glow the entire time, I bet if you hit a launch button the Tag automatically switches back.
I don't know what to think..
I really wanted a cartoon or cel-shaded look like MvC1-3 but this is entirely 3D modern visuals. But I am also fine with that. I'm disappointing we won't get 3 fighter teams and assists, but the gameplay snippet we have seen reminds me of Tekken Tag 2 which is my favorite fighting game, although it'll probably play much different to that franchise.
I'll probably buy it.

I understand the desire to make these games easier to get into, but I don't understand why 2v2 seemed like the best option. Adopting the Skullgirls system of allowing players to choose between 1 and 3 players seems the natural choice. It allows new players to start off learning a single character before working their way up to a team with assists. So 2v2 is definitely more accessible, but it's not the best way to achieve that goal IMO and at first glance seems like it will provide inferior gameplay to the 3v3 paradigm.
That paradigm is half the reason I love Marvel 3 so much. The other half is the characters. This game still has the characters, so I'm going to give it a shot and hope that the gameplay systems can hold a candle to past the 3v3 Marvels.

For sure, I agree. Those were different times though and we're now in the era where people realize they can make serious money from their skills.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
The art-style is incredibly off-putting - they don't seem to gel well on screen.
Yeah, Christ that's crazy how much SFV improved. Mentioned in the other thread that this happens with pretty much all 3D Capcom fighters. I remember not liking MvC3's look either when it was first revealed. It ended up looking beautiful.
Anyway, I'm excited and very eager to see more gameplay.

Nope, but the really obvious animation reuse from Marvel 3 makes me think it's another Eighting project.
I'm actually pretty interested in seeing who did the UMvC3 port, too. The credits appear to be unchanged. Maybe that was done internally?
I've been wondering this as well I haven't seen any info..it's probably Eighting again?

No... that isn't the point where MvC∞ is at all. That trailer was December 2014- the game released February 2016.
MvC∞ debuts December 2016... comes out mid-late 2017. That's nearly a year of dev time difference.

You know I can understand going back to 2v2 -to make it more accessible but then way add gems.
They better not alter gameplay systems and charge money for it. Didn't work well last time.
That's not a year's difference. That's a few months at best.
But some people really liked/preferred that outlier?
Like if someone wants a ribeye steak and you give them sublimely prepared salmon, they can still be turned off even if the product you offer them is excellent. That's why some people are feeling a bit cool right now.

Looks pretty dope. Albeit, very Tatsunoko-like?
It's probably gonna be Late 2017, but I could see Capcom pushing it back to 2018 at this point for that extra polish (plus the added benefit of conceding with CPT 2018 & possibly Infinity War).

You guys are next level, cause I honestly don't see any difference.

hope for a November/December release then....
also keep in mind MvC∞ has to launch with cinematic story mode completed, arcade mode, and all the other modes... while having a larger roster than SFV
really? chun li looks completely different, completely different graphical effects, etc.
Oh, right! One of the older Marvel games that was 2-on-2 had a mechanic like that, too, didn't it? You call in the other character and control them temporarily, then they jump back out again. I could see that get really disgusting in the hands of really good players while still being something newbies can get to play with.

The best Chun-Li looks and moveset wise. Besides double fireball.
I'll reserve judgment, but no assists is pretty alarming. They want to tone down the crazy, which I get, but assists have been such a critical mainstay of the Marvel series.
Also, the tag system being like a grounded TAC is the worst idea ever. I hope whoever said that meant it in the loosest association possible.

Marvel wants the holiday sales and cross merchandising with Thor 3. Capcom FGs have always coincided w/ Capcom's fiscal year previously.

I was fine with it being 2v2 and being much like TvC but no assists is a pretty damn huge bummer honestly 
. I was really hoping for assists like MvC1 where they had a ton of characters from obscure games/series that would have never be able to get in otherwise. I mean I would've love to see some neat, cool and wacky character assists like Steel Samurai from Ace Attorney, Rathalos, a random Gotcha Borg from Gotcha Force, Agent Coulson from AoS, Toxin, etc. With no assists, I really do hope that when they said "huge roster" before, they really mean a HUGE roster.....preferably over MvC3 and closer/over to MvC2 levels.
Other than that, the Infinity Stones being compared to CvS's Grooves is dope as hell! Also I actually kinda hope it releases early 2018 so they can take their time on it.

Well as much as I hate to say it I don't think MvC games go through as much dev Q/A type time as a new SF. MvC is more of a series of establishing a gameplay core that can map out to a big roster and letting it rock, where as SF is more about fine tuning each and every character.
It is worrisome that the game is supposed to release in 2017 and it looks so early-on though. Even though gameplay is my main focus, seems like it's going to be hard to implement all the things they're saying they want to do by then.
I really hope Capcom actually is able to deliver on the promises of story mode and such actually at launch instead of going through another massive trial of illwill that was MvC3's launch.
MvC1 gave you control of both characters at once for a time. It's understandable that some people will be crushed that the 3v3 era is near dead. Think of how many people were first introduced to vs series or fgc through that one Yipes video.
Er... Thor 3? I mean it ain't no Star Wars: TFA.

Looks already better than MVC 3.
that Chun Li air spin move was so cool.

I'm fine with 2v2, but no assists is pretty hard to swallow. I'm sure the game will be fun and I still look forward to playing it, but I fear it just won't really feel like Marvel without assists.

So basically Sony pushes SFV out far too early.... Marvel is going to do the same thing with MvC∞

From what I have seen, this looks really fun. Kinda reminds me of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom with Marvel Super Heroes gems. I welcome it.

SFV looked amazing on reveal. I don't know what you're talking about. In some ways, SFV downgraded from there.
People aren't upset about the game not looking pretty enough. It's the poor design decisions, and time won't fix that.
I hope you're ready for ASW-style footsies.
