The reason it's 4v4 and has a weeb aesthetic is because MvC4 is real and ArcSys found out mid-development. They went "oh shit our game might be too similar" which is why they took steps to make it more distinct from MvC. Marvel doesnt care if they have two competing games they just give out the license to third parties as long as they pay, they had two Black Panther games in development at different studios as well.

Refute this flawless logic.

The most kino outcome would be if this turned out to be a "fake game" like Phantom Pain and at EVO they reveal Capcom characters and the title changes from TOKON to MvC4. However since the characters fighting styles look completely different from MvC I doubt it.

makes sense. people accept that MCU churns out movies with the same formula the same year, why would their game division be any different? ArcSys likely will go out of their way to distinguish gameplay and roster choices from MvC. FGC is just not used to this many tagkino games being announced suddenly.

mvc3-2 wouldn't have had any pull for normies
the modern controlling of games is also why 1 life bar is an attempt to simplify

They did?

>>712632346
Marvel vs Capcom anything is oh my science!-tier for normies. the internet loves to shit on Infinite but it has the biggest lifetime sales to date and the series as a whole amassed 12 million. There are a number of roads a new title could go to not simply be MvC3-2 either.

>oh shit our game might be too similar
Must be blind then. MVC3 and MVCI are atrocious. Also, no one cares about Capcom fighting games anymore. Tables have turned, when it comes to fightans, people go to ArcSys titles.
Capcom is doomed to make Street Fighter sequels till the end while AS gets the luxury to make any project they want.

>They did?
Yes, there was that Black Panther game (bragged about how they went out of their way to employ blacks, 4 years of pre-production, cancelled) AND that Black Panther×Captain America WW2 game, which is led by Amy Hennig who's not a total incompetent clown so its actually coming out

Why would you push two Marvel fighting tag games into the market at the same time?

>>712634225
What part of "Marvel does not give a shit" do you not understand? Have you even seen how many Marvel mobile games there are?

>>712634440
Billions of people play mobile games.
Fighting games are one of the most niche genres out there.

>>712634225
the biggest reason is that one of them is only targeting Playstation 5 and PC while MvC likely would target all platforms with crossplay.
I also wonder if they'll have different monetization strategies. Tokon could be $70 on launch while MvC takes the F2P pill.

>>712634709
I'm going to reiterate what I just posted. Read what I quoted again.

>>712630929 (OP)
Marvel vs BlazBlue or a Cross Tag 2 with Marvel would've been cool

>>712634225
>Why would you push two Marvel fighting tag games into the market at the same time?

Because Marvel's hands-on approach to video games was a massive fucking flop? They already tried MCU synergy with MvCI and Avengers game and people hated it. Which is why they said "fuck it do what you want" to devs which is why we got Marvel Rivals with sexy bitches

>three black characters in a WW2 game of all things plus a token white guy
I get the wakandan woman but would it have killed them to make the american soldier white?

>>712630929 (OP)
I doubt.

>>712630929 (OP)
Doubtful.

I don't think Marvel would want 2 team fighting games in development at the same time.

I don't care. I just want more fighting games. I'm kind of tired of the current lineup, but mostly cause I think SF6. T8, and Strive are lame. I hope the next 2 years really shakes things up.

>>712635746
even if I were to ignore that it's Marvel that we're talking about here, Marvel has been eyeballing the FGC since the Infinite days and have tried to make an "esports" venture work without games to show for it until Rivals happened so I am not at all surprised here that Marvel would have two competitive fighters in the spotlight. They have an opportunity to put all of these games into one event tour like Bamco did with DBZ and maybe put pot bonuses at existing tournaments.

>2 team Marvel fighting games? That's insane!
if it's anything like how Marvel treats trading card licensing, Marvel WILL nut inside every fighting game developer full stop no remorse.

>>712630929 (OP)
I....CANNOT.

based fg enjoyer

>Marvel wouldnt want to compete with itself!

How would Marvel lose in this situation really? It seems more like the perfect situation for Marvel to see if they can make MvC without Capcom. They're testing the waters.

If TOKON is more popular than MvC4, Marvel knows they don't need to MvC brand to succeed.
If MvC4 is more popular than TOKON. They know the MvC brand is valuable and they should keep supporting it.

Marvel will win either way, its ArcSys or Capcom that end up pulling the short straw.
