Anyone else waiting to purchase until they find out who exactly is in the DLC?
The roster is so bad which is one of the main reasons waiting. Although, I doubt Wesker or Vergil make it wave one, I may feel so inclined to wait for wave 2 of DLC if they even make it that far depending on sales.

I dont think Tyrant is on Gaf but if he is lurking, great job on the video guide, excited for the rest because I actually want to try and get decent (wont even say good) at a fighting game for once.

Late in coming back due to work, but thank you all for the responses. I'm going to order the Brooks adaptor. I wish it would be compatible but I'm not taking any chances. GGXRd isn't compatible, and I don't know if IJ2 is. I know MvC3 isn't, so even if Infinite does support legacy sticks, I have two games that will actually use the adaptor.
posted?

Strider can get a tiger out, Vajra attack, tag out and be hitting you with Strange for basically three simultaneous attacks. This game gonna get nuts.

Bright side is the DLC can't get worse than the launch roster. Could you imagine if the 1st DLC was Firebrand, Spencer, Ghost Rider, and Flank West?
Any new Spidey footage? Anywhere?
Nope, because if you have a capable pc the game is cheap as hell on CD Keys.
Any new Spidey footage? Anywhere?
yes actually, someone was using Spidey on a video yesterday or 2 days ago, from Pax, had a really cool combo too that someone giffed.
Let me see if I can find it
Here you go, dank Spidey combo

That may be true, but I feel the Launch roster being as bad as it is will poorly influence initial sales which could be really bad for future DLC.
It's been an unreal year for gaming, but yeah, another strong month. and then next month Mario Odyssey

Despite the failure that was the SFV launch the game is still going strong with support from Capcom. As long as there's a core group of people that still play the game and buy the DLC that Capcom puts out the game will still have continued development. And in the case of Infinite the DLC could be used by Marvel to promote their new stuff so it could still be supported despite losing money just because it can be used as advertising. The game could sell a quarter million and still be successful if half of those people are buying most of the DLC that Capcom puts out. Unless the game puts off all of the core players and they abandon it immediately for other games I think the future for DLC is fairly secure at least in the short term.
Are you a veteran of the series? Newcomers like me have plenty of characters to play with like Megaman, X, Black Panther (dlc), spidey, hulk, iron man, and hell I even look forward to hawkeye
Definitely worth a discount purchase at least.
Granted, I dont have on blinders. I am fully aware the roster is really gimped with only four ladies, Black panther is DLC (so no african americans in base), etc etc.
But if everyone waits- the game fails asap. Some of us have to get upfront and pay the price so guys like you can enjoy a great discount later ;(
Ohhhhh throws remove red life. That's cool. I mentioned before I'm extremely interested on how they are going to balance throws in this game, because they are such a weird thing to balance in MvC games. Looking good so far.

Naw, I think if the game didn't sell very well then they probably going to canned their DLC development and move on since digital attachment is quite important for them to make money. (Talking about Versus game itself since Marvel license is pretty pricy tho)
Thanks!

Yah that Dorm and Jedah team going to be day one they look ridiculous. Was going to try them out anyway, but might put that before Dante Jedah. Dante looking like he may be UMvC3 tier again? So middish?
So you think they will make free stuff for nobody? How does that business work?
oh right on it's a paradox of a sort. Everyone wants Graphic Novels (rather then single comics) and complete Ultimate editions but in order to get to this point publishers need good initial sales
Basically what happened with SFV where we got free characters I still havent spent all my fight money personally.

Well, SF's Fight Money system had that planned from the start. It wasn't on reaction to sales.
Seeing other channels start posting MVCI footage now besides Max and Tyrant. Will post if footage is decent enough

Here's some gameplay from what appears to be the retail build. I guess it's official that Mission Mode does include the tutorial for this game.

In SFV they let you play Alex (and maybe Guile too don't remember?) for a trial period because of delay for the characters. Once that was over you had to buy them with fight money or real money. Also Capcom ended up canning Zenny currency because couldn't get it working, so resorted to just buying characters and costumes through psn, steam, and xbox live stores directly...
It was the delay of the store's opening that made Alex & Guile available for a free trial period.
Those menus are very bland. I don't know why I expected better after seeing what the demo was like.

Yah that I forgot the reason, but i remember them being free.
I always thought that was highly unusual though since in NRS games you never get any character for free.
I actually thought that was a nice gesture of Capcom to sort of rally their fans
Looks like no one else feels that way? I won't try to argue against all of gaf just sincerely curious lol
edit- OH!!! I remembver now! SFV had a horrible launch roster right? Just pure barren. I felt entitled to a character or two

more Pax stuff Mike D (Spidey / Gamora) vs KyleP (Nova / Jedah)
someone wanted more Spidey, there you go
edit: "Mike stop...stop" lol

SFV had a horrible launch. The roster was fine. They only made those Guile and Alex free to play for a short bit because their store wasn't up yet and they needed those characters out of the competitive scene. The only thing they gave away permanently were two story costumes.

No, the roster was pretty solid but there is a problem with the game overall, as people saying that the game was bare bone with single player contents.
I am not afraid to admit I got bodied so hard at SFV launch. Was much more casual back then- I really needed single player content and some tuts
NRS games spoiled me with the tuts and extensive SP content so by the time I hopped online I was much better then I thought
but in SFV I was forced to hop online and got bodied like no other. I still get a little PTSD just thinking bout that ;(

Damn those menus and artworks...
seems arcade mode is against fixed teams, as they all seem to be thematic.
Captain Marvel / Chun Li and Hulk / Ryu are paired in the story as we have seen, Gamora / Rocket are both GotG, Cap / Hawkeye are Avengers, etc

That's how it was in X-Men/Marvel Vs Street Fighter as well.
The old guys who worked on those games really are bringing everything over from there. Including the ground breaking 4 women in XvsSF

lol you're right
Menus still look bad as expected, but it does seem like they have mostly(?) gotten rid of chromatic aberration. It's hard to tell for sure, but the PS4 version seems back on the table for me at the right price. PC version until then. Hopefully the online is decent and there are a decent amount of people on the PC version to play against.
That's most definitely the build that they've been showing since Gamescom. Nice to see that the menus are still horrendous.
lol you're right
"I think this game has the most female characters of any Capcom game ever. Oh, except maybe Puzzle Fighter. Has Capcom finally awakened to the age of girl games?!"
