Capcom is known for its tagging and assist mechanics.

The universal combo for all characters still remains, just added with another button press and directional input.Īlong with a different input style, is the new tagging system. By going this route, characters’ combos are more complex and require a bit more precision, when it comes to timing your inputs. Character attacks are divided between low punches and kicks, and high punches and kicks, with a downward high punch being your launcher. No longer are inputs simplified to low, medium, and heavy attacks this time it’s more of a half-step towards the Street Fighter series or old school Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite puts a new spin on how characters control, while using the classic titles as inspiration. This review is based on a review copy provided by Capcom.įirst off, to put down some worry, Capcom did get the most important aspect of a fighting game right: the fighting. Release Date: Septem(Global)/Septem(Asia) Capcom: Infinite isn’t quite the home run. The bombastic art-style, over the top combos, and sizable roster is what made that game a favorite at tournaments.

Capcom series was six years ago, and has been a staple at tournaments since then. The Last entry we got from the Marvel vs. This combined with the price tag of a full fledged game, makes the shortness of this game a particularly weak part of the whole thing.Every so often the fighting game community awaits to be graced by the balls-to-the-wall Versus series from Capcom. Although there is significant opportunity for a co-op mode, the game never delivers, keeping the game entirely offline. The whole game can be played through in just 4-5 hours, and there isn’t much incentive to play it again. With how grainy and poorly done the rest of the game is however, it could just be the graphics are that bad. The characters themselves are so badly done, it calls into question whether the developers couldn’t get permission to use the likeness of the actors in the movie, and had to do something entirely different. This makes fighting your way through each level even more disappointing, since the villains you are fighting against don’t even have the decency to blow up well. This includes everything from the explosions from fighting to the cut scenes, which are supposed to be sharper than the actual game play. Unfortunately, combat is mostly the same and it just feels grindy and repetitive as time goes on. Iron Man must punch and kick his way through a map to get to the boss, which is made easier than the previous game through a series of checkpoints.
