\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s Marvel Week here at GamerDad.com.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be looking at the characters in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, and at the end of the week, a review of the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game!\u00a0 Anyway, Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is a fighting game featuring characters from Marvel comic and Capcom game universes.\u00a0 Usually when I play a fighting game that has a lot of interesting characters in it, I\u2019ll write a blog about them, so that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do here.\u00a0 We\u2019ll start with the Marvel cast.\u00a0 Keep in mind that I\u2019m not a big comic book fan, so most of my knowledge of Marvel characters comes from the movies, Marvel vs. Capcom games, and the LEGO games.\u00a0 So when I go over these characters, if you ARE a Marvel fan, please feel free to correct me on anything or provide any information or insight that you might like to share.<\/p>\n

I wanted to talk a bit about the game first, though.\u00a0 While I think I like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and 3 a bit more because of their more casual nature of play, it doesn\u2019t mean that I think Infinite is bad.\u00a0 It\u2019s just different, and that\u2019s not always a bad thing either.\u00a0 The other Marvel vs. Capcom games had a more comic book feel to them, but this one feels more like the Marvel movies.\u00a0 They even did a great job with the voices, as they sound almost like their film counterparts.\u00a0 The story mode is also like one big movie (A real life Marvel vs. Capcom movie would be neat-o).\u00a0 Story mode will take a few hours to beat in this game, but you don\u2019t get to pick your fighters and there\u2019s only one ending.\u00a0 While I prefer the shorter story modes in 3 where you have all those wacky endings, again, they were just trying to be different here.<\/p>\n

I think the only casualty with them being based on the movies is that Disney owns the rights to Marvel now, but they don\u2019t own the rights to other Marvel movies like X-Men.\u00a0 So you know what that means?\u00a0 It means no Wolverine or other X-Men are in this game.\u00a0 I read that Disney did that on purpose to not promote the other studios\u2019 movies.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s true or not, but it sounds pretty likely.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure some fans would be pretty upset about this, as Wolverine was a staple in the other games.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t bother me that much, although there was one X-Men character I enjoyed playing as in Marvel vs. Capcom 2.\u00a0 She had purple hair and wore a purple outfit and shot out pink things.\u00a0 I can\u2019t remember her name, though.<\/p>\n

One other major addition to Infinite is that you can equip Infinity Stones to help you fight.\u00a0 They\u2019re colored Skittles rocks that give special powers in the Marvel comics.\u00a0 When the meter is half full, you can press the R1 button to activate a small power. For instance, the Time Stone will let you warp around the screen (handy for slow characters), and the Soul Stone will let you steal energy from your opponent (that\u2019s the only way I was able to beat the last boss).\u00a0 When the meter is all the way full, you can press both L1 and R1 buttons to make the whole screen change color and give you even more powers, but I\u2019m not sure what they do.\u00a0 I just liked spamming the Soul Stone.\u00a0 Hey, what do you want from me? I stink at these kinds of games.\u00a0 Anyway, let\u2019s look at all the Marvel characters here.<\/p>\n

Captain Marvel<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had never heard of this character until now.\u00a0 I like how her name advertises the people who created her.\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing she\u2019s Marvel\u2019s equivalent of Wonder Woman?\u00a0 Maybe?\u00a0 I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 Anyway, she must\u2019ve trained with Master Roshi and Goku because in the game she can go Super Saiyan.\u00a0 And she must be really strong, too, because she can pick up people with one hand and toss them around like nothing.\u00a0 I reviewed a Marvel pinball game a while back starring Ms. Marvel, who had stretchy powers, but I\u2019m assuming that\u2019s a different character?\u00a0 No wonder why I don\u2019t read comic books.\u00a0 How do you keep up with all that stuff?<\/p>\n

Iron Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s been lots of Iron Man movies and he\u2019s been in a lot of the Marvel vs. Capcom games, too, so I know at least a bit about him.\u00a0 Like I said earlier, the voice actor they got for him was spot on with imitating how he sounds in the movies.<\/p>\n

Captain America<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another guy with lots of movies so I know about him, too.\u00a0 Anyone remember the old arcade game Captain America and the Avengers?\u00a0 That was such a cheesy game, but I liked it anyway.\u00a0 I also liked how they parodied Capt. America on Dexter\u2019s Laboratory with Major Glory.<\/p>\n

Howkeye<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s just a guy who can shoot a bow and arrow well.\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t sound like a very exciting super hero to me, but what do I know?<\/p>\n

Hulk<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s a pretty well-known comic book hero, and he\u2019s also been in most, if not all, of the Marvel fighting games from Capcom.\u00a0 He has all his classic moves here, too.<\/p>\n

Thor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another character with lots of movies, so I know a fair amount about him.\u00a0 I actually knew who he was a long time ago thanks to a stupid 80\u2019s movie called Adventures in Babysitting.\u00a0 Anyone remember that?\u00a0 I just saw the new Thor Ragnarok movie, too.\u00a0 I liked the Valkyrie character in that.\u00a0 OK, I have to tell my stupid Thor joke.\u00a0 Here goes.\u00a0 One day, Thor leapt on his mighty steed and bellowed out, \u201cI\u2019m Thor!\u201d\u00a0 And then his horse turned around to him and said, \u201cWell thit on the thaddle, thilly!\u201d<\/p>\n

Spider-Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone seems to like Spider-Man but I don\u2019t really care much for him.\u00a0 He annoys my head and I got kind of tired of his movies.\u00a0 Haven\u2019t even seen the last one yet.\u00a0 He\u2019s been in a lot of the Marvel fighting games and plays pretty much the same here.\u00a0 One thing they did with his character model here is they made him super buff.\u00a0 Well, I guess they did that with all the characters, but it just looks weird on Spider-Man.\u00a0 He\u2019s been eating his spinach!<\/p>\n

Ultron<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know who he is because he was the bad guy in one of the movies.\u00a0 Although I kept wanting to call him Voltron.\u00a0 In the game, he fuses with Sigma from Mega Man X to become Ultron Sigma, and they use Infinity Stones to take over Marvel and Capcom universes and merge them together.\u00a0 His final form is a giant Sigma head with Ultron coming out of the top.\u00a0 Classic Capcom.<\/p>\n

Gamora<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know I have a favorite Marvel character?\u00a0 I didn\u2019t for a long time, but now I do.\u00a0 And it was Marvel vs. Capcom 3 that helped me decide that.\u00a0 So who is my favorite character?\u00a0 Mrs. Hulk!\u00a0 Or Hulk Lady. She-Hulk?\u00a0 Well it\u2019s one of those three names.\u00a0 I can\u2019t remember.\u00a0 So why is she my favorite?\u00a0 Well, you know how I told you that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 had wacky story mode endings?\u00a0 Well in hers, she\u2019s in a courtroom with Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth.\u00a0 And that\u2019s why she\u2019s my favorite!\u00a0 You know how I like my Phoenix Wright games.\u00a0 So I was sad that Hulk Woman was not in Infinite.\u00a0 At first I thought this green lady was her, but she\u2019s not.\u00a0 She\u2019s the other green lady who\u2019s in Guardians of the Galaxy (I first thought she was She-Hulk in that movie, too).\u00a0 In this game she wears a storm trooper outfit for some reason.<\/p>\n

Doctor Strange<\/strong><\/p>\n

I rented this movie a few months ago.\u00a0 If you see this movie, I hope you like kaleidoscopes.\u00a0 He\u2019s pretty much Super Harry Potter.\u00a0 I keep wanting to call him Dr. Weird.<\/p>\n

Rocket Raccoon<\/strong><\/p>\n

When he was first in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, nobody had heard of him, but the Guardians of the Galaxy movies have happened since then, so now\u2019s he\u2019s at the forefront.\u00a0 I\u2019d like him better if he wasn\u2019t so mean.\u00a0 In the game, he can call out Groot to help him fight as a special move, but since I suck at these games I can never pull it off.<\/p>\n

Nova<\/strong><\/p>\n

I never heard of this guy until Marvel vs. Capcom 3.\u00a0 According to my brothers, he\u2019s supposedly a member of some super space police force or something.\u00a0 I liked his ending in MvsC3 because he recruits all the different versions of Mega Man to be on the Nova Corps.<\/p>\n

Thanos<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s a big purple guy with a big chin and I think he was a bad guy in one of the Marvel movies, but I can\u2019t remember which.\u00a0 In the game he has lots of powerful zappy laser attacks, but he\u2019s VERY slow.\u00a0 You\u2019ll definitely want to equip the Time Stone on him!<\/p>\n

Ghost Rider<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s got a flaming skull for a head and he rides a motorcycle.\u00a0 I think that\u2019s all you need to know.<\/p>\n

Dormammu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh great, ANOTHER guy with a flaming head?\u00a0 How am I supposed to tell him and Ghost Rider apart, Marvel?\u00a0 At least this guy doesn\u2019t ride a motorcycle.\u00a0 Or does he?\u00a0 Please tell me he doesn\u2019t.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be in big trouble otherwise.<\/p>\n

Non-Playable (?) Characters<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a few Marvel characters in Story Mode that you can\u2019t play as, at least not yet.\u00a0 They may be DLC later, but I\u2019m not sure.\u00a0 But here they are.<\/p>\n

Black Panther<\/strong><\/p>\n

At first in the Story Mode, I thought he was Batman, but then I remember that Batman isn\u2019t a Marvel character.\u00a0 I\u2019m pretty sure this guy will be a DLC fighter, since there is a new movie about him coming up I think.\u00a0 In the Story Mode, he hangs out with a lady character who wears samurai type armor.\u00a0 I thought she was another Marvel character I didn\u2019t know about, so I was racking my brain trying to figure out who she was.\u00a0 Turns out she\u2019s not a Marvel character at all!\u00a0 You\u2019ll just have to find out who she is when I write my Team Capcom blog next!<\/p>\n

M.O.D.O.K.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s just a huge head with tiny little arms and legs sticking out.\u00a0 He was playable in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.\u00a0 Not sure if he\u2019ll be DLC here, but in one of the stages in Story Mode, he hangs out in the background and zaps lasers at you while you fight.\u00a0 Kind of not very fair.<\/p>\n

Death<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Story Mode there is a lady character that everyone calls \u201cDeath\u201d and she\u2019s rather pale and wears a hooded cloak.\u00a0 I looked up a character called Lady Death and thought that was her, but my brother Jeff said she wasn\u2019t.\u00a0 Then when we went to go to the Thor Ragnarok movie, there is another lady character called the Goddess of Death, and I asked Jeff if that was her and he said it wasn\u2019t either.\u00a0 Oh my gosh, Marvel, why must you be so confusing?<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all for now!\u00a0 In the comments section, let me know your favorite Marvel character.\u00a0 Next time we\u2019ll look at the Capcom fighters in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.\u00a0 I promise I\u2019ll know more about those guys!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
