Get the most out of your Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite team with these tips!

The Marvel vs. Capcom series is one built around the concept of team synergy. You’re able to get the most out of the game if you’re able to operate your team as one cohesive unit. Having said that, the game itself doesn’t immediately make it clear what team synergy is. On top of that, the concept of team synergy has changed a few times as the series has evolved.

During my struggles of trying to formulate my own team, I’ve made the following observations about aspects to make note of when you’re trying to polish your team dynamics. Hope these help you out!

The fate of two worlds rests on your shoulders in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite!

Capcom Unveils Black Panther and Sigma for Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite

Today, Capcom pulled the lid off of Black Panther and Sigma in this trailer for the upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite DLC. From what we can see, Black Panther sort of scratches the Wolverine itch, with his claw-based attacks and boundless agility. Sigma, on the other hand, looks like a big body combination of X and Zero.

This duo, along with the Monster Hunter, will be available on October 18th. Of these characters, I’m most excited for Black Panther filling my Wolverine void, but Sigma and Monster Hunter look great too. We’ll see which ones I end up with!

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Review

Years ago, Disney ended the licensing of its video game rights to third parties in order to focus on making its own games in-house. While it was the decision that gave life to Disney Infinity and Marvel: Contest of Champions, it was also the move that prematurely ended the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 series. Once the game disappeared from store shelves and digital distribution channels, it seemed like the series was never coming back.

But like the Phoenix (who isn’t in the game yet), Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite rises from the ashes to bring tag-based fighting action to the masses. Curiously missing a #4 in its name, it’s omission is clear once you see some of the dramatic changes that make it stray from the 3v3 format of yesteryear. Is this game still worthy of the Mahvel name?

Adjusting to Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

Years of Marvel vs. Capcom experience hasn’t prepared me for the uphill battle of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. With the myriad of changes made to game, these first few days have been humbling to say the least. So far, my experience has consisted of me putting hours into training mode, just trying to get a basic grasp of how the game works. With every new game, comes new challenges, and a new opportunity to prove myself.

Out Tomorrow – Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

To say that Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite has had a rocky PR battle throughout the course of its existence is a bit of an understatement. From the lack of X-Men characters, to the “downgrade” of 3v3 combat to 2v2, to Capcom mostly rehashing characters and animations from Marvel vs. Capcom 3, to the terrible story demo they released, to the poorly-worded quotes from Capcom representatives that reduced characters to just functions, to Chun-Li’s busted face, this game has been through the ringer.

On top of all of that, Capcom is fighting an even steeper uphill battle after breaking the trust of gamers with Street Fighter V. Layer on top of that the impending release of Dragon Ball FighterZ, which looks to be a worthy adversary in the tag-team fighting game space, and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite appears to be in a lot of trouble before it’s even released.

So why then, am I buying a copy?

The Video Games I Played at Fan Expo 2017

Playing video games at any sort of large public convention is a tough proposition. Despite it being my favourite hobby, the pros of trying upcoming releases in a 10-minute demo is usually outweighed by having to wait hours in line for that privilege. As such, Thursday at Fan Expo is the best day to do it due to it being the day with the lightest attendance.

On day one of the show, I made a beeline for the video game booths and here’s what I played!
