MVCi notes episode 1

Random thoughts after a few hours of the game. It's a mess because phone.



General:

- Overall feels/handles much more like Marvel3 than TVC etc despite what people were saying early on. Same-ish speed and movement.

- Seems like 1 ground bounce and 1 hard knockdown per combo is the hard rule. I know we heard 1 wall bounce per combo from Combofiend so that makes sense.

- looks like a lot of characters can't abare as easily without tagging. EG, Strider can't combo off air-to-air excalibur at all anymore, but a tagged character can pick it up easily. Definitely intentional.

- the ability to tag anytime means you can get away with more now. Offence will probably be really stupid for the first 2 months.

- basically keep both characters alive as long as possible. Losing one instantly makes you less effective in every way. Infinity Stones aren't a strong comeback mechanic.

- The game doesn't look so bad visually, except in edge cases. The art direction still feels more Marvel than Capcom tho.



Other stuff:

- Infinity Storm straight into a level 3 seems strong, with only a small gap of non-invincible frames and no 'real' cost

- space - infinity surge has a hit or two of armour while activating, surprised nobody has mentioned that yet

- Space - infinity Storm prevents the enemy tagging out at all. Sounds obvious but lots of uses; no combo breakers etc.

- Captain Marvel's jump.HK has some sort of MVC3-esque hit-box (or bubble.) Cant think of who it reminds me of, but it's kinda dumb.

- Went Binary about 50 times, still dunno what it does still except more damage and bigger beams/beam supers

- Morrigan's new special move is air-only, if you do it grounded she'll fly into the air automatically first. After hitting, bats follow the oponent around, dunno what that does, doesn't transfer meter.

- Strider's new Vajra (lk) teleports him straight to the wall behind him (Wall Cling), still has the other 3 teleports.

- Dr. Strange's victory animation looks way better



- Overall really liked what I saw. Went from interested to hyped.
