Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

Fun fighting game with a great amount of replayability. You definitely feel over powered and the combo system is somewhat simple enough learn but not easy to master. Get this one.

!!!

good game

If you happen to run into this on discount, MVCI is worth it ... only with the Beyond mod if you don't like the realistic Live Service Avengers ah style. (which I gurantee you don't because it looks ugly).

Autocomboes are broken as all hell and can sometimes (if not all the time) link into a second autocombo, Sogenmu exists (thankfully it was slightly nerfed going from MVC3), you have 2 muscular men with robot arms bodying you instead of one, Soul Stone existing, and despite all of those imbalances, the game is still worth it (even more with the Beyond mod)

Some may find it harder to get into than others, I got into it pretty easy (but that may be because of my past MVC experiences with 2 and 3), but outside of the Live Service Avengers ah artsyle, the game is still good. It's basically a simplified 2v2 version of MVC3 with MVC2's control scheme.

Now to get fried by the comments

Thank you Max and Team for making this already okay game truly fantastic. MvC is very much alive. Dreams Don't Die.

Buy it on sale, visit www.mvcib.com, begin modding, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

How's that for a slice of fried gold?

its action packed and all the heroes u wont believe are involved

I'm not that far into the game but just from the character looks and designs they rub me off the wrong way opinions however do change and if I like it I'll fix this but MVC3 better

the motion capture is so uncanny and online is dead

Dumbass game why are bots spamming attacks like im trying to do a really cool combo and i cant get even close because the fucking bot is spamming the same thing and even if i block it i cant attack since they magically block every single attack

i know im not the best at fighting games but still im trying to have fun as a beginner this shit isnt beginner friendly

I've covered wars you know

I've cursed my library with it now, but Beyond makes it a pretty joyful curse

get it cheap, give it a go with the mod. you and your buds will have a swell time.

Yes, the game is worth it the $7.99 on sale. The the Infinite & Beyond mod is cool and has brought a new influx of players which means it's a good time to jump in; you can fight opponents with different levels ranging from novice to god like. Although, the story mode is ... well... terribly bad actually, the heavenly switch-on-the-fly mechanic is truly unique and what sets this game apart from all the other fighting games.

If you are kind of new to fighting games and you are still undecided between MVC3 and Infinite; try Infinite first. Just getting started in MVC3 feels like trying to get a PHD in quantum physics and, you will loose each of your first 100 online matches without knowing what happened unless you are a prodigy. I used to play and follow MVC3 and I can tell you that long time fans and veterans dislike Infinite because among other reasons it didn't transfer the broken mechanics, the broken characters, the broken infinite combos and the game went down to 2v2 which is fine and understandable.

Infinite is a beast of its own that you will very likely enjoy if you give it a chance.

This game likes to pretend that its any other game in the versus series, then its just terribad.
Now that it's old I guess that it's fun.

Venom ass not phat enough

It's a fun crossover fighting game

The Infinite&Beyond mod carries so hard, still decent enough without it tho, good luck finding any kind of matches without it

This is one of my favorite fighting games despite its lackluster roster. The unique tagging system and the control that it gives you allows for some diabolical ways to pressure and combo people. Fighters finish their last action once you tag them out, so you can tag into your other fighter as your first one is in startup for an attack.

The game is very fast paced. Sometimes I get absolutely thrashed in matches that last only 30 seconds.... If you are unfamiliar with certain characters, get ready to lose spectacularly. Get you some patience and take your L's. Once you are at a spot where you can contend with other players, the game is very rewarding.

The Beyond mod that Maximillian and his team made is a must have. It's crazy how a new coat of paint just makes the game feel so much better.

If you're into tag fighters but skipped this one, it's definitely worth checking out. Just make sure you have another fighting game player to game with .

Installed the Infinite & Beyond mod. No regrets. Absolute stellar mod.

trash as everything marvel does

good game very fun

Yes, the choice of characters to put into this one are head scratching, but the game play is so bad ass that I didn't mind.

just needs more characters this is mvc for godsakes

I highly recommend this game to any fans of MvC. Especially with the new update of & Beyond to the game.
The graphical overhaul and balancing makes this game such a joy to play.
It allows you to experience and appreciate how this game always had fun game play; while also revitalizing the audience so you can actually play the ranked mode online again.

Wasn't at all interested until the Beyond mod that came out this month, Jan 2025 (thanks Maximillian Dood & Team). Had the game launched like this I would have tried and bought it back then.

please add akuma and wolverine

Going to say this now....this game has always been great. Ever since it dropped back in 2017 it was what I wanted to get on every platform. Then fast forward some and those shills at Arc Systems drop that trash known as dragon ball fighterz which overshadowed MVCI. Years later with the success that was UMVC3 on pc and its mod support it took Maximmian Dood to team up with other modders to bring back a dead game with the use of a mod which redone everything graphics and game play wise. Again it took a mod to make things right. smdh. crazy world of fighting games. "But mods ruin the fun!" oh yeah!? using cheese strats do too and you see how that gets nerf. suck it jabronni and get good.

the beyond mod has people realising how much this game bangs but i BEEN knowing about how good this game is

Mvcib mod

The Beyond update definitely breathed new life into this game. It helps that I feel like I understand tag fighters WAY more not than I did EIGHT YEARS AGO. I feel like this game is the spiritual successor to MVC 1. Game is crazy fun. Good visuals and good netcode do wonders for fighting games. Who knew?

I've been playing fighting games and, in particular, the vs. series for a very long time. This is one of the best fighting games I've ever played, probably second, to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. This games has a very smooth feel and a combo system that is very much sandbox-like. The community continues to grow, even more so following the release of the Beyond Mod.

Give me jesters, I need a new hentai pfp

It’s gloriously messy and unapologetically over-the-top—a true Marvel vs. Capcom experience, would reality-warp again (with community mods Infinity and Beyond only).

My recommendation is specifically for this game with the MvCIB mod. I was never a fan of the look of this game originally but the changes made with the mod have brought me around to the game. The lack of legacy characters still stings but the roster is still pretty good and fun to play w. I can't say how the game originally played but considering the mod only makes slight changes to gameplay, I can imaging it was always pretty solid gameplay wise. With the mod also brings new gameplay modes not available in the vanilla game. I can't speak on full price recommendation but so far has been a wonderful experience for 10-13 dollars on sale. I'm much more a fan of 2v2 tag games than 3v3 and MvCI reminds me much more of Xmen V Street Fighter and MvC1 than it does MvC2 and 3.
Def worth the sale price, I say give it a shot.

ผมชอบเกมนี้ ซื้อทั้ง 2 เครื่องเลย
ยิ่ง beyond นี่ สุดๆ

add เพื่อนมาเล่นกันได้คับ หรือ สอนเล่นก็ได้ครับ

MvC:I had a very rough launch.. BUT, the gameplay was never the issue. MvC:I is fast, fun, and easy to pickup. Now that the Beyond mod is available, one of the main issues, the visuals\presentation, has been drastically improved. Art assets, character models, the UI, even the music has all been updated and improved and this is by far and away a better overall package. I highly recommend the game with the Beyond mod.

mod doesnt make my eyes bleed anymore. they cry with enjoyment and hope for another marvel in the future (copium) if game is ever on sale get it and get infinite and beyond mod

This game is UGLY.... yes, we know. A shoe-string budget and tigth deadline doomed it to look like that.

There are NO X-MEN..... yes, we also know this. Draconian rules instigated back then by the now Ex-CEO of Marvel made the roster a victim of this.

But do not ask of this game what it can not give you, ask of it what it can.

It CAN´T give you the 3-v-3 battles of MVC2 and MVC3 / UMVC3.

But it CAN give you the perfected version of 2-v-2 battles of MVC1 and the perfected version of the Gems System from Marvel Super Heroes.

It CAN´T give you a gripping, multilayered story like Mortal Kombat (2011) or Mortal Kombat X.

But it CAN give you a Saturday Morning Cartoon crossover of Marvel heroes and Capcom characters going around the world trying to stop a super evil robot fusion.

Once you internalize this facts and pass the ugly capes, you will find an amazing and exciting fighting game waiting for you.

Now that the game doesn't look like complete butt, it's actually fun! How was Max the only one to know that there was a good game underneath all that ass?

Fantastic fighting game now that the Infinite and Beyond mod pack is out!

this game plays fantastic and the mvci and beyond mod makes it look fantastic! 10/10 recommend.

Game looked horrible at release, and long after. BUT! The gameplay in this game is super fun. Always has been.

Now, thanks to YouTuber and Twitch streamer Mazimillian Dood and the 8 months and I think $30,000-$40,000 he put into it, along with 40 people that made this possible, him and his crew of devs who created the BEYOND mod, the game looks absolutely incredible and now I can play it without my eyes bleeding! lmao

And to think that this game is $8, I think if you buy it and can get the mod installed (which is super easy to do), you'll have a lot of fun. Especially with friends and family. Definitely easy to pick up, difficult to master.

Base game is dull, Beyond mod gives it some rizz. I adore the new style.

That said, I only recommend it if you're okay with sinking your time into a low-pop fighting game or have friends who want to play it with you. Matches are still hard to find, and I got crushed in ranked very easily as a newbie.

Download the MVCI Infinite & Beyond mod before playing this, you can thank me later ;)

Picked this back up due to the GOAT MaxDood. MVCI with a fresh coat of paint and some love and care makes this an absolute blast to play.

MvCI launched with 2 major flaws: 1) no X-Men; 2) an inconsistent art style and ugly character model design. The Beyond mod fixes the latter with additional improvements to stages, music, balance, and more, revealing an underlying gem of a game that clearly needed more time in the oven.

Amazing game before and even more amazing now with the Beyond Mod. MAHVEL IS BACK BABY!

What happened with this game exactly?

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite has had a rough history and a huge impact against the MvC franchise. Here's a quick summary:

In 2009, Disney bought the rights to Marvel and chose not to renew the Marvel license with Capcom to coincide with their decision to self-publish their own games. As a result, Capcom was forced to delist Marvel vs. Capcom from all digital storefronts a few years later. We never saw the likes of Marvel vs. Capcom for awhile, and there was a time where we thought we would never get another followup after MvC3. However, in 2016, Disney chose to discontinue self-publishing their own games and opened the floor to third-party publishers again. Excitement hit when fans were greeted with a rerelease of UMVC3 and an announcement trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.

But a lot of that excitement quickly turned to disgust after the trailer. The presentation looked fairly ugly, with tons of style mismatch and a dull, boring look. It was later revealed that the budget for this game was ridiculously small, just a little over half of the amount to make DLC content for Street Fighter V. Since the X-Men were acquired by Fox, there was also little choice but to leave them out of the roster as well, leaving us with an awkward and (what feels like) an unfinished game.

Fans were more and more harsh with this game as its horrible visuals was presented more and more to the public. The PR disaster spawned from this game led to cease future development of any further Marvel vs. Capcom projects until a surprise announcement of the Marvel vs. Capcom Collection earlier this year. For over 7 years, it was thought that the friendly ties between Capcom and Marvel had been completely severed and we would never see another Marvel vs Capcom again.

While the gameplay itself is really fun and a callback to Marvel vs Capcom 1 and Marvel Super Heroes, the unfortunate truth is that presentation makes up a very large chunk of enjoyment in a fighting game for most people, especially a game like Marvel vs. Capcom. It's hard to find enjoyment in your punches if they don't feel rewarding. It's even worse when characters from the Marvel cinematic universe are mixed in with cartoony characters like Mega Man X, completely ruining aesthetic and immersion and thus can make it very unenjoyable. Even if you find yourself enjoying the gameplay, you'll find there's very few things going for it outside of just online play, and the overall game can feel very barebones.

So why all the positive votes all of a sudden?

That's where the modding community steps in.

A few months ago, famous hypeman youtuber Maxmilian Dood announces he has joined with a team of modders to completely overhaul the look and feel of MvCI. The mod would feature a rework in character models, UI, sound, and some gameplay balance changes. This mod also includes new gamemodes such as having another player as your tagteam partner ala 2XKO. The presentation style is a throwback to classic Marvel vs. Capcom 1 with tons of references to other games such as MvC2 and UMvC3.

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite and Beyond launched with the FGC flocking to this game. It has so far been a big success, breathing life into this game as the concurrent player count has risen from the single digits to a very healthy triple (500 players as of now).

Does the game deserve the praise? After all, it's just a mod and doesn't reflect the base game.

Good point. However, here's an argument that a ton of people in the FGC share (and that I share as well):

A positive score shares that the consumer is interested in whatever the game is selling. By giving the game a spike in positive reviews, we share to Capcom and Marvel that the game is perfectly fun and playable if it had an overhaul in presentation, especially if there's a possibility for the series to make a return (which could be very likely). MvCIB is exactly what we want a MvC game to look and play, and giving this game a surge in life would give Capcom a chance to look at how they present the series differently if they were given another chance to make another entry.

The positive score in this review reflects on not just the solid gameplay, but to join in the rally that THIS is what we want MvC to be. Capcom's current track record shows that they listen to sales, especially with the fun disaster that was the Street Fighter V launch.

So how's the game?

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is a 2v2 tag-team fighting game with a central focus on combos and jumping to a tag-team partner. Special to this game are the ability to use Time Stones, an item we haven't seen in the MvC series since Marvel Super Heroes. These stones give your characters the ability to manipulate the field with new abilities and super attacks. For instance, the Time Stone's Infinity Surge (its one-button attack) can create a dash which can phase through attacks, and it's Infinity Storm (its super attack) allows you to quick-combo into other moves. Each player can choose one stone out of 6 at the start of a round, giving games more of a chaotic feel to them.

You are no longer able to use an assist move. Instead, you have a dedicated Tag button which you can use to bring another character rushing in. The character will continue the combo from where it left off, which can cause for some devastating damage. The drawback is that your previous character is vulnerable for a short period while you've tagged them out, so the opponent would be able to hit both characters at once if they have the chance. DHCs are gone: you cannot combo a super with another character's super. However, you can choose to Tag during a super move, then combo into one afterward.

Besides the Tag and Ininity Stone buttons, the game is essentially a 4-button combo-centric fighter. It still utilizes the Magic series from the previous games making combos much more customizable and easier to pull off than something like Street Fighter. However, while there are tons of options for long combos, the game does not have a major Touch of Death issue like MvC3 as moves scale down faster with the 2v2 system. You can be trapped in a very long combo and still have a chance to come back, and even be just fine with doing damage with basic combos. It's a fun combo-heavy system that hearkens back to old-school MvC while adding new mechanics to keep things fresh. Not super in-depth, but very unique.

If you're looking to just play MvCI by itself, there is not a lot to look forward to. Online in the original game is basically dead, and there are not very many single player options to look forward to besides Arcade and Mission. However, there is the infamous Story Mode, what used to be the main selling point of this game. It is ridiculous and pretty terrible, but actually pretty hilarious in a so-bad-it's-good sort of way. I would highly recommend grabbing friends and having a watch party with the cutscenes, it's a riot.

With the mod, the game receives an overhaul. Characters no longer look like their ugly realistic MCU counterparts: the artstyle is revamped and overhauled to have the colorful comicbook-style as it used to. Music, voices, and brand new modes have been created to breathe new life into this game. The mod is 100% free as long as you purchase the base game. You can view all the details from the website.

Consensus?

Overall, the game is pretty damn fun, but leaves something to be desired in its presentation. However, that all changes with the Infinite & Beyond mod. It is ridiculously fun online and leaves me spamming for more runbacks. This mod is the Other M of Marvel vs Capcom. If we're on the heels of another MvC game, this mod can hopefully send Capcom and Marvel message that we want more games that are not whatever MvCI started out as.

♫ BUT I WOOONT LET YOU GOOOOO. EXCITE ME ♫

Only good part about this game is that beyond mod that relased

I bought the game before Maximilian Dood did his amazing Beyond revamp, which is a commendable grassroots effort to bring new life to this VS installment. I deeply thank him for his effort and putting his money so selflessly into this passion project. The problem is that the base game is, pretty much, the worst in the series.

In all honesty, I can't say it is now n excellent game when there are much better fighting games out there, including all the other games in Capcom's VS series available on Steam.
