I heard about Ant-Man at the same time as the rest of the base roster without any mention of DLC, so I think he was dropped from the game due to technical issues. Whether or not Capcom wants to try salvaging him for DLC is anyone's guess. Frank West was dropped from MvC3 and brought back for Ultimate, so hopefully Ant-Man gets the same treatment here.
Sounds fair enough. Thanks, Ryce! =D

so how would ant man play? reduces and grows his size in the match? like he becomes about as small as servbot and at the biggest like sentinel with armor on moves.

Here's to hoping that Capcom takes another stab at Ant-Man at some point.

PSX will probably be geared more toward SFV:AE.

I think that expecting Season 2 announcement (or even acknowledgement) in 2017 is a good way to become disappointed.

So basically a random reveal in 2018?

Maybe at EVO or a big comic con.


I mean, it might be prudent of Capcom to announce a Season 2 ASAP just so they can try and build hype for this game, but I don't think we're getting that this year. They probably think that the remaining Season 1 characters and some costumes will be enough to tide the fanbase over.

But wouldn't it be a bit weird to get absolutely nothing for Marvel for half a year? Not even SFV wastes that much time to get a new season announced.

If Capcom waited that long to unveil a new season, this game will be forgotten about altogether.

With DBFZ and other big stuff on the horizon, Marvel can't play the waiting game. It just wouldn't be smart.

The your mistake @Doctrine Dark6, you're assuming Capcom management is smart when everything they did these past few years shows they're anything but smart.

Yeah, I know that's the accurate answer. Sometimes I like to think Capcom would possibly learn from things and improve their approach.

Remember when they released 5 badly edited gameplay trailers with like 5 seconds of footage per character? Those were fun.

Looking over the reveal gameplay. Remember when people complained about the graphics in that and we were like "it's early, they'll fix it by release, just look at SFV and IV"
yeah...

For Mahvel, they'll probably announce the existance of a season 2 this year, it'll end up releasing before EVO, and the contents of said season will be leaked.

Battle for the Stones is streaming (Online EU Qualifier - Top 8). * Guess they are actually recapping right now though

I think IJ2 has to be on point since they zoom in on the faces during the animated clash scenes.

And what bout that new Fighting Layer EX game too. Surely it was made on a small budget and the faces look good there too in the footage I've been seeing. Then I boot up this game... Well we don't need to go there I guess

The artstyle simply sucks. That's it.

This game would've looked so much better without the stupid "Contest of Champions on console" aesthetic.

It's Saturday night and I'm bored. I miss those little character logos from MvC1.

D-did you make that?
Because that's fantastic.

I too miss those logos. I think I even talked about that in the other forum, at some point.

Yeah, spent the most time on the logos.


I got the infinity stone graphics from the Battle of the Stones website, and the backdrop was good ol' image search.

  • Shouldn't it be Strider Hiryu?
  • MODOK isn't playable, so I'm not sure why he's in here.
  • Nova has a new logo now

- Yes, the logo says Hiryu (飛竜).
- He's fun, and so people know it's a mockup.
- I don't like that logo.

^ Oh yeah I like those outfits for Dante

Just went up against a Dante/Zero that's higher ranker then me in Casuals. Guess he figured he would be nice and give me a chance by going Dante/Frank-West when we rematched. I still lost but at least that made the matches much more closer lol. But I give this Dante player props for sensing the disparity and switching up his team which helped me at least finally get the trophy for fighting against everyone online. Didnt realize I was missing Frank West

[edit] wow this other dude just now was popping off reality stone like no tomorrow. after I lost that match I switch to reality stone spam as well and taught him how it feels to be on the receiving end of that punishment. That win felt crazy satisfying

I did some quick research, and the Black Panther/Sigma trailer randomly dropped online 13 days before they came out. Hopefully we get a Venom/Winter Soldier/Black Widow trailer later this week, with the characters releasing alongside the balance patch on December 5.

Hopefully you're right.

It also released on a Wednesday, dunno if Capcom would keep releasing trailers on the same day though. But who knows.

I guess people want to get the most out of it before the nerfs go through.

It wasn't that bad though. My first couple of sets had me worried since that one particular player I kept rematching loved Dante (but he was quite good). But all the other players I fought against used different characters (with only one guy that was kinda aggravating with lots of reality spam and but I countered by switching to the same stone to knock him off).

I had a lot of fun online matches yesterday. Looks like the week or two I spent fighting against the hard CPU actually paid off. Was able to learn a bit more techiniques without fear of getting caught up in long combos. So now when I get online I'm making a bit less stupid mistakes and my execution is a little better. Plus I've branched out to different teams like Hawkeye/Gamora etc for fun
