I mean even the new characters. I love Captain Marvel and Gamora as characters, but in terms of a fighting game, there are so many more interesting power sets out tnere to choose from.

Kalyx triaD 08-10-2017 04:15 AM

I assumed they would have added Ms Marvel since her powers are very 'Capcom-y' but I guess we don't know all the DLC characters yet.

I'll say this: Aside from Akuma they really shouldn't put any MvC3 oldies in as DLC. It will be a disaster akin to SFxT from a public image standpoint. They have to be all new.

Fignuts 08-10-2017 05:10 AM

Honestly, if the game is full of reused assets and characters with boring power sets, and then they release really cool interesting characters as dlc, then fuck them. Already looks that way with Black Panther and Sigma being DLC.

Real shame that there seems to be no interest in Lawbreakers. It's really fun, but the servers are probably going to be dead in a year.

I think the park and one piece of Zelda art doesn't mean it may have been visual inspiration. Myamoto never mentioned any American parks as inspiration for Zelda. Mostly his time wandering the countryside as a kid, really.

Fignuts 08-24-2017 07:38 PM

I think the wandering through forests as kid was the inspiration for the gameplay, so I could still see the Wyoming Park being a visual inspiration.

Kalyx triaD 08-24-2017 09:07 PM

Large plains, forests, a river curving into the horizon, with ominous mountains in the background isn't a Wyoming Park thing. It looks really accurate (to that concept art of that angle) but it seems more a really cool coincidence. There's likely other areas like this at certain angles.

Extreme Angle 08-25-2017 12:24 PM

Excited for DBZ Fighters!
Is one of you Mighty Artio on XBL?

I'm kinda tempted to change my XBL GT. Lately I've been getting tons of kids adding me asking if i'm some guy from the FunkBros Youtube channel.
I mean at first I was like "Not me sorry". Then I fucked with some of them for a laugh. Now it's abit too much.

They are separate characters with their own moves.

Sure they have their own moves and not just a different level 3 super?

Kalyx triaD 08-25-2017 05:25 PM

Yeah they have their own moves. Blue Goku has an overhead that SS Goku doesn't, probably to be a more mixup type. Blue Vegeta has a punch volley that takes you to the ground that SS Vegeta doesn't, as well as a choke slam (command grab?).
