Eh, that trend is bringing flashbacks of the Marvel 3 pre-release days in all honesty. People cried doom and gloom over missing staple Marvel 2 characters and the new mechanics (which I don't think anyone would argue are better than anything in Xrd), yet it still blew up and got in heaps of new blood – a number of which are killers now. I don't know how to say this without outright disrespecting the legacy/history of these games and its players, but I always thought that the people that knew Marvel 2 were nowhere near the scope of the potential people that could get into the MVC series through the 3rd installment …similarly to how the people that know Guilty Gear are nowhere near the scope of the potential people that could get into GG through Xrd now. If vets/old timers want to pick it up then great, that is on them, but I think in the long run instead of trying to persuade those that refuse to play the game for whatever set reason, or even using them as an absolute metric for the game's success, it'd be more lucrative to focus that energy on getting new players on board.

Thanks for all the vids guys. Well now I can't help but wonder, if there's already a working and legit PS3 version then what's their excuse for not putting that up too as a demo? (Yeah I'm still kinda salty about this)

Does a PS3 version of the game even exist?

So.....Elphelt is a literal waifu? lol Hype vids. Sin looks pretty fun and El's a lot more quick on her feet than I expected her to be.

I don't know, generally speaking 10 years is a long enough time for tastes to change or to tire of something especially if it's been consumed in considerable amounts. Or they could've simply never liked it, even back then. Though I don't know how you're getting to the conclusion that because people dislike that particular archetype, it's strictly due to them wanting a cast full of Serious Badass Edgelords or thinking the cast was always full of Serious Badass Edgelords. If anything I want a cast full of Fausts. But yes, in the spirit of keeping a positive attitude until gameplay videos show up, at least she has a good rack. Tits always save the day.

Yeah that's definitely a better idea lol

Good shit. So her name's Elfelto then? ??? She's honestly quite the eyesore but then again I've said this many times about characters that I ended up maining.

Taking a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild shot here but is that...that chick people were calling El? I'm not even going to pretend I know Japanese but I do recognize that the "ru" character is the same as the "L" in Sol's Japanese written name. I literally only know this because I was (with much frustration) at one point trying to find videos of certain characters on nico (this was before I found out about Dustloop lol). But playable builds at TGS is great news. Regardless of whether that new character is legit or not, I fully expect to at least see Sin there. Can't wait for reports and videos.

Got kicked too but thanks a heap load for the Hitbox link Kosmos. At that it's in HQ, infinitely more better.

I don't suppose anyone who's currently watching this understands what they're saying.

Yeah lol think a lot of folks will be pulling all-nighters. This is why I wish we had a game schedule, assuming it doesn't exist. Honestly the lack of clear info is pretty frustrating, to speak nothing of all the eventual cockblocking Nico is going to test us with.

Alright, I think I (finally) deciphered this. Thing starts at 3:30PM in Japan, so with a 30 minute leeway here's the timezone breakdown: Eastern time (US) should be 2AM (Aug 30th). Western time (US) should be 11PM (Aug 29th). UK time should be 7AM (Aug 30th).

Where did you get the idea that MvC3 didn't hit PC because Marvel supposedly had that much of a problem with mods? If this was even remotely true, I have a hard time wondering why Marvel Heroes or any of those other Marvel games that were pulled off digital platforms some time back were on Steam in the first place (besides, people are already modding UMvC3 so even if this was a factor it would've been for naught). Marvel would probably sooner ensure their toilet paper are rolls of 100 dollar bills or higher than care for whatever the hell the consumers do with their games lol. I wanted to Like this post then Unlike it so I could Like it again, but then I realized you can't do that On the whole I agree. And while I don't think the issue of piracy on PC should be downplayed, the situation certainly isn't as dire or hopeless as some would have you believe. Otherwise, we wouldn't be seeing any success let alone continued support on the platform, and the concept of Steam would have collapsed eons ago. But all this anti-mod talk like it's even an issue is straight up fear mongering imho.

Thanks! But @ red devil nico. I guess it was inevitable. EDIT: waaaaaaaaaaaait a minute. This is just for the finals?

Is the event going to be streamed? Any details on that? (like the channel and time)

Which is why I'm cool if they release it a few months afterwards since console sales are generally front-loaded. Not sure what's stopping Arc beyond simply not giving a shit if SNK, Lab Zero and Capcom can do it with seemingly little to no hoopla on the subject.

Would suck dick for an Xrd PC release. Even if I have to wait a couple extra months post console release, I will take it.

This Sin bloke sounds pretty goofy. Eating through the match? Gotta see how this plays out lol.

I think he might hold it down for quite some time. I've noticed this loosely myself but a lot of Marvel players seem to be quite interested in Xrd, and iirc that was one of Max's favorite games. I'm one too actually, this will be my first ArcSys game that I'll learn and I'm really excited about it.
