Marvel VS Capcom Infinite has some issues with its visuals so far- some of the character models doesn’t look as good. But the new story trailer may signal a positive change. Capcom acknowledged that some characters like Chun-Li will get another pass before release to ensure they look better than what we are seeing right now, and it sure looks to be improved.
Aside from that, we get to see Ghost Rider, Dormamu and Firebrand, the last few characters to be announced. Jedah from Darkstalkers, who got a quick gameplay reveal at EVO 2017, also gets a bigger spotlight this time and acts as one of the main villains in the story.
Outside of DLC characters, the full roster will include 30 characters, 15 each from Capcom and Marvel. So the few characters seen in the trailer like the Venom symbiote and M.O.D.O.K. are unfortunately unplayable.
Interestingly, aside from adding Story mode, character-specific challenges in Mission mode and the much needed Arcade mode, there will also be an online mode called “Beginner’s League”, specifically for players Rank 14 or lower. This should mean that casual players can expect being matched with similar players who are still new or not as good with the game, but what’s stopping from anyone making alt or smurf accounts to beat up casuals? Not sure it’s a solid idea, but it’s interesting to see.
Expect to see Ranked and Casual matches to be featured on launch as well as a lobby for 8 players.
Marvel VS Capcom Infinite will arrive on September 19 for the PS4, PC and Xbox One.
