First Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite Gameplay Trailer


Mega Man X's appearance in the first gameplay trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is brief but oh-so-sweet. It's a little odd seeing X dishing out punches and kicks, but very much appreciated.

Marvel's back, baby.

  1. If the clip is anything to go by, seems like they're opting for more Marvel inspired moveset for X than Smash what with the punches and kicks. Seemed there was an arch shot for anti-air and of course his charge shot super as well.

    I hope he uses a large variety of weapons with his special attacks. Be kinda disappointed otherwise.

    1. well technichally X can learn to fight (infinite potentiality and all...) but it's true that i would like to see some of is iconic weapon from the game showing up.
      I think they just did'nt want to show all is combo in a mere trailer.

  2. A lot of special moves for X had him punching and kicking in the MMX games

    He even learned to spam Hadoukens and Shoryukens.

    1. There weren't really that many, and the ones that did involved him doing things like punching the ground for a charged version of Triad Thunder. They would incorporate the special move into the attack.

      Not to say X CAN'T punch or kick, he's got arms and legs, he can use them as anyone can. It would just be disappointing if the moveset doesn't incorporate a lot of his actual weaponry as he has plenty of stuff to choose from that could create a really unique and strong moveset.

    2. What would be funny (to me) is if they made X play almost exactly like the original Megaman did in Marvel vs. Capcom/2. But what would his "Eddie" be? Those emergency Life Energy delivery robots from Mega Man X4?

    3. for that matter, i wonder if he will be able to throw hadoken in this game. would be a nice inclusion, really.

  3. You guy's can talk all you want but I'd take Zero over X any day. I won't cry about it like a certain group of fans I know though, he makes it cool, he doesn't I'll be disappointed but it's not like I like him because of MvC, heck it's weird as heck that MvC as a franchise and especially MvCI exists in the first place. Being pissed off that your favorite character doesn't exist in a game like this is like being mad that Cloud doesn't exist in Mario party or something.

    That said my dream is them as a tag team in this franchise.

    1. Cool. That means you can go main Zero in TvC or UMvC3, while I can main X in MvCI and Cloud in Smash 4. ;)

    2. If people were simply upset that X wasn't in 3 you might have a point.

      But the biggest issue was all of the BS non-excuses that came after X or any form of Mega Man for that matter was absent from 3. Those were the things that infuriated fans the most, and now that X is in this, it proves they were correct in assuming those 'reasons' were nothing more than bad damage control.

      Nice attempt, but not a great parallel you've made there unless Zero isn't in this game AND there's a wave of contradictory non-reasons and double standard excuses for his exclusion.

      Delete
    3. That's my point even if Zero wasn't in MvC3 and TvC and SvC Choas and PxZ and Onimusha Blade Warriors etc I'd be OK with that and would not cry like a baby like some other fans I know.

      Those are not what makes the Zero that I love Zero, half the time the people that put Zero in those games barely know or care to accurately represent him or many other characters.

      BTW no need for the smugness the only reason why X is in is because he had a model from MvC3 to update, and this game is obviously using those assets to some degree. Capcom execs probably secretly said give the whiners what they want, we don't want any publicized drama on our hands again. Also Zero fans arn't petty and actually can appreciate all the other great characters and aspects of a game instead of being bitter. I'm proud to be part of THAT kind of fandom.

      At least with Zero people actually want to play his gameplay and don't just want him for the novelty of representing something they like, then never buying or playing the game after more than 2 weeks.

    4. You've missed my point completely, made up some hypothetical situation, put words in others mouths and finished with a baseless assumption.

      There's so much wrong with your comment I don't even know where to start addressing them. So I won't bother.

      Judging by your tone, kind of funny considering you started with an attack in your first comment on other fans, did so again and then say my comment is smug, I can't imagine you'd bother to actually read and respond properly anyway.

      So I'll just say, I disagree with almost everything you said and leave it at that.

      Delete
    5. I think I know you, and I've argued with you before, either that or there is another guy who plays the "you didn't bother to read, understand or address my comment and points properly" when I actually did and your just mentioning empty aversions that do exactly what I guess part of your comment complains about.

      BTW Me saying I prefer Zero to X (not even mentioning gameplay in that comment) any day then you coming in talking Cool then go "main" him in games that has nothing to do with the game and topic being talked about, (as if there is no context to maining a character in competitive fighters and their lively hood, or as if I don't already *PLAY* him in those games) IS SMUG. Quit acting all coy and innocent.

      Not only that but you're talking about me missing the point? My point ENTIRELY FLEW OVER YOUR HEAD, your response had nearly nothing to do with my original comment.

      I am saying it is stupid to get butthurt about a character not showing up in an external franchise to their own, cause well... It's dumb, especially when the external franchise is so fringe in the first place.

      For example making a Mega Man game and having no Mega Man is not the same as make a Marvel, SNK, Namco vs Capcom game and having no Mega Man. At leaset to me.

      If Capcom want's to make say SNK vs Capcom and stick to whatever franchise's characters they deem fit that mold, I'm not gonna booo hooo all day because my favored, completely different action platformer franchise character didn't make it in. Sure if my character gets in hurray, but if not I'm not gonna raise a steak knife to the throats of developers as if I was wronged.

      Do you understand the point of my comment and how yours completely conflicts with its sentiment? I am saying regardless of if I am or am not able to play Zero in MvC or TvC or any crossover it is "cool".

      On top of that if you were truly being courteous and not "smug" why would you say *paraphrasing not actually quoting* "cool you can play your character in your game and I can play X in another", when I clearly stated my dream was to be able to play as both in one game together? If you were truly being genuine and understood the essence of my comment your reply would have been something along the lines of, "F u I don't want your stupid character mixing with mine my favorite should get all the spotlight, also it is very important to me to represent Mega Man in MvC or any Capcom related crossover, he is their mascot" or the less petty "Hopefully you can have you dream of the X and Zero tag team fighter, there is still time, I personally could live without that and am satisfied with only Mega Man, but I don't mind others getting what they want either".

    6. Talking to a completely different anon. I was the one who responded first, and if you thought that was smug, it was only because you brought the smug attitude to the comment thread first, talking shit about a "certain group of fans" and how you're so much better. You could've left it at "I prefer Zero to X any day," and nobody would have cared.

      Delete
    7. I was using facts, I am specifically saying I am going to behave in a conduct I feel is so much better than a certain group of fans.

      I don't see that as smug, that is me out right genuinely expressing my views on the issues that I personally find present on this topic.

      I am specifically saying I want to act in what I find to be a better way, and my aim is to lead by example. If you feel I'm wrong and for example want to discuss why you feel it is prefectly reasonable to you that Mega Man fans be more than upset or Final Fantasy fans be angry because their favorite character didn't make it into a completely different offshoot franchise or anything related to that topic OK then.

      Smug Definition: Marked by excessive complacency or self-satisfaction.

      When I accused you of this it was in the context that you didn't even care about my comment, it was more of a "you mad" kind of tease with a wink and smile at the end and everything. In your eyes all you saw was a Zero fanboy or something complaining then dismissing all the comment's purpose entirely not even understanding its point. All because you're ok in rubbing in peoples face your contentment with the situation.

      Imagine if Cloud wasn't in Smash or Mega Man was never in any crossover video game, whould you look at my comment and then say what you said? No, you'd either agree that Mega Man fans and such shouldn't be mad that they aren't represented in other franchises or you'd make an argument as to why they should be. The focal point of my comment was never Mega Man/X vs Zero it was entirely a fan base's way of conduct over another fan base's way of conduct, that and the idea that crossover appearances doesn't make a character, in fact I'll take it a bit further, I'd rather X and Zero stand on their own two feet as stars of their own series anyday over being relegated to crossover status like Morrigan, because my love for those characters stem elsewhere. MvC doesn't even treat them right, Zero flies around with Silver Surfer and says I'm Zero not Mega Man Zero when reaching Neo Arcadia..... WHAT????

    8. Saying you're going to do something is not a fact. It's a promise.

      So you're genuinely acting smug. That's what it looks like, and this is the result.

      You're anonymous. You can't lead by example.

      You're right. I replied to your comment dismissively, because that's what it deserved. You wanted attention for being better than most, on an occasion where the other side happened to get what they wanted. That kind of attitude deserves to be ignored, so consider this a charity.

      If Cloud or X didn't show up in popular fighting games recently, we wouldn't be here.

    9. The fact is the fans I'm referring to acting in the way that I am opposing past, present and as I came to see, future.

      That's fine that you see it that way. Being smug is relative just like being offended is which I'm not regardless, I still stand by my principles on the issue. BTW I don't have a problem with you being smug per say my issue is you acting like you weren't being smug and I'll call you out on it.

      Sure I can, I'm anonymous my comments/messages aren't.

      That was exactly why you were incapable of replying to my comment coherently, then you had the audacity to say you couldn't imagine me reading your comments properly? Also no, my comment was to make myself/position look better than comments like "Capcom doesn't put MM in MvC3 boycott, they deserve to go under" of the past, and the already happening future petty "X is in keep others out so he can shine or any other similar petty instance" already seen in the comments. The comment that expressed disappointment that Tron and Roll etc being missing disappointed him/her is not a good example of this, that is a natural understandable response, I am addressing the historical fanboys.

      That is ******MY ENTIRE POINT*******, what do you think I mean when I keep saying crossovers don't make those characters to me, so it is silly to be vehemently mad when they do not show up in them?

  4. X looking like quite the punching bag in this trailer.
    I wonder if they'll be smart enough to give him some effective techniques for countering broken characters and cheap spammers.

    Not that it really matters to me since I won't be buying it because there's no Nintendo version.

    R.I.P. Capcom.

  5. It looks reminiscent of Megaman's moveset in MvC 1/2. Neat take, but I wonder if/how ability switching will play into this.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Oh. The game's name suddenly makes more sense. I honestly hadn't considered that they might bring back the Infinity Gems, but there ya go. The ol' game-changer from Marvel Super Heroes has returned.

    ... does that mean Thanos is coming back after missing Marvel vs. Capcom 3, as well?

    1. Dude Infinity Gems is there to replace X-Factor as the main marvel inspired power-up mechanic. It has been stated to behave more like grooves (modes selectable before the match that alter the properties and gameplay mechanics) from CvS2 than like MSH Gems.

      Only difference is Marvel is pushing the Marvel Cinematic Universe which is pushing the Infinity Wars Avengers plot, while suppressing the Fox co-owned I.Ps which X-Factor derives from.

    2. Well that is disappointing. Understandable, but disappointing.

      The gems thing, I mean. Not the MCU/Infinity Wars thing.

  7. capcom never seems to get the look of mega man characters quite right in fighting games. Nintendo showed them up

  8. Something no one has seemed to mention yet is that X is lacking a voice actor. Obviously it's still in development, so they're sure to hire someone they deem appropriate. I'm probably shooting for the stars here; however, I really really really hope they somehow are able to get Mark Gatha to reprise the role for this game.

    1. Getting Mark back would be the ultimate gold, but I wonder how that would even be feasible. Granted for many of us, myself included, he is the true English voice for X, to the point no one else would do. Mr. Gatha has made it pretty clear, however, that he's out of the VA game. I imagine he'd only do it if the passion to voice act is still in him (like it was for most of the original dub cast for Digimon coming back to dub the new movie, even for the folks who literally voiced no one else after the first season ended as well as retirees like Joshua Seth).

      Delete
    2. I'm hoping not. Mark Gatha is just as annoying as his old X4 VA, but in the opposite direction.

      Delete
    3. It's not possible to get him back, if you believe Lucas Gilbertson, the voice of Zero. Lucas says he's dead. Has been for almost a year now.

      Delete
    4. Lucas lied. It was a big joke he had going for 6 months. Apparently he hasn't been in contact with Gatha for a while.

      Delete
    5. I just talked to him the other day about this. He said it was true and that Mark Gatha was dead.

    6. He's alive. Lucas was joking. https://twitter.com/hermitsherpa/status/805487896320843776

  10. Ya'll got your wish but at a monkey paw discount.

    X is in but only as a jobber rodeo clown/punching bag to promote Marvel characters and Street Fighter.

    Be careful what you wish for ... Especially when Capcom is granting it.

    2. wait 'till they show us a first armor or ultimate armor X we'll see who get the punch.

  11. Pausing briefly at 0:18, you an see X's fighting stance in this game which is reminiscent of his SNES posture - just like Zero's in MvC3. Nice touch of consistency!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Okay everyone complaining that X got beaten. think larger ! decrypt the trailer
    did so many years without megamn X games made you forget how X work? he get stonger when he get upgrade for his armor. Showing normal X beating the crap out of iron Man woulb be like acknoledging that a fully powered X could munch Iron-Man (one of the flagship marvel heroes) like tofu.
    now, as according to the rumours, they're pushing the MCU characters in the spotlight, with a plot with the infinty gems, maybe a come back for thanos.
    that seems to confirm even more the possibility of the shadow at the end of the trailer being a Sigma/Utlron hibrid, since Ultron was the main antagonist of Avengers2.
    Now think, they put Carol Danver, iron Man, Ryu and X in the first trailer. not Zero, not a other capcom character. X! obviously they're going to give him some space in this game's plot. (especially if there really is a ultronsigma)
    also, seems like no more mutant is true, they should have included at least some like wolverine, who is a emblematic figure for marvel games, comics, and cartoon. and i liked Storm, but i personally don't really mind, it's not as if i where going to be sad for not having the ocasion to play X-23, it's not as if they where going to include Jubilee or Gambit anyway.
    now, sory spidey, but i think my mains this time will be X and Captain Marvel, two character i was hoping to see here and they're in the first trailer.

    2. Who wants a story where their favorite character has to look worse than they are to make others look good?

      See? That's the problem with crossover stories.

    3. "Who wants a story where their favorite character has to look worse than they are to make others look good?"

      now reread his comment and note what he say "base form X", so base X got beaten by iron man in the trailer, ok. now remember who else beat X ass, once (and for real, not just "he add the upper hand on a battle" more "he inflicted a severeal beatdown to X". i'm talking about vile, then X got Upgrade, and Vile die. And take in account that first armor is now confirmed
      ...think Iron man will survive, though, i just don't want to be in his place.

    4. "Showing normal X beating the crap out of iron Man woulb be like acknoledging that a fully powered X could munch Iron-Man (one of the flagship marvel heroes) like tofu."

      If base X could beat the crap out of Iron-Man he should be able to beat the crap out of Iron-Man regardless of flagship status or not, that is my point. I'm not saying who beats who I'm saying popularity and promotional politics shouldn't play a role, and both you and I know they do, they most definitely do. I'm not gonna say Ryu is a good example of this cause at this point I've never seen him being anything other than extremely super human with seemingly no limits, but some characters are obviously boosted to fight others... Like um... Chris Redfield vs Hulk... You get my point.

      Also you're wrong, Vile did have the upper hand he had a nigh invincible ride armor, well outside of the fact that Zero one shotted its arm clean off. Plus even after all of X's upgrades he still couldn't beat the ride armor, Zero destroyed it again giving X the opportunity to defeat Vile himself. Seeing as First Armor can annihilate an entire space colony with one attack (if the Rockman X commercial is anything to go by) I'm guessing Vile's Ride armor is pretty durable.

      In my opinion X's hadouken is best argument for the strength of his First Armor that shoryuken gold armor and ultimate armor etc is the best case for X beating Iron-Man.
