I wonder how Disney's policies will affect this game, specially since they seem to be working towards hurting the X-Men cinematic universe and the F4 one, so there might be severe absences of charcters. Disney might try to cover them with Disney and Star Wars characters, but at that point why bother calling the game Marvel vs Capcom?
The word "Infinite" implies unlimited or seemingly limitless potential.
Ironic seeing as all X-Men and Fantastic 4 characters will be absent.
Ooh... that Megaman X love. I aprove! It was smart not to call its MvC4 aswell, given it won't have the X-men characters.
Unreal Engine 4 uh ? So a Switch port is in the realm of possibilities !
See Ryu.... See Megaman, AWESOME!!!! IRON MAN IS GOING TO SMASH BROTHERS TO FIGHT THESE GUYS?... oh wait no, It's Marvel Vs Capcom again, these games always look amazing but I've never played them enough to get into them as much as the main line street fighter games.
