The Marvel Games panel has recently come to a close at San Diego Comic-Con, but there was a bevy of new information that fans couldn't get enough of. That said, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite had its fair share of reveals.
Following last week's debut of Darkstalkers' Jedah in the series after his introduction at EVO 2017, Capcom announced four new cast members that would be joining the party with a new trailer today. And while we're waiting for the official trailer to release, a YouTube user by the name of NR_Chris managed to tape a good portion of it…and the reveals are really something.
First up, Spider-Man will officially join the roster, since he's not too busy with his adventures in the Insomniac Games title of the same name on PlayStation 4. He's expected to bring a number of his webbing abilities to the table, including his web ball and web swing, which have been staples in the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise for years.
Next up is Nemesis, the bazooka-chucking baddie from the Resident Evil saga. He looks just as large and unstoppable as he was in previous entries of the series, and his super once again looks to be a bit on the explosive side.
Mike Haggar from the Final Fight series is up next, and, as expected, he's a true powerhouse that knows his way around a number of grab and throw techniques, and he can probably deliver the best piledriver in the game – you know, unless Zangief manages to show up.
Finally, there's Frank West, the photographer from Dead Rising who likes to use intuition to build weapons to take on enemies. His battle abilities should be similar to what we've seen from him in previous games, so, yeah, we're excited to see what he adds to the battle.
(Oh, and if you look quickly, you can see MODOK lurking in the background of one stage!)
There's also a hint of Gamora gameplay included in the trailer, which you can see near the tail end. Her gigantic cannon looks similar to the one Zoe Saldana used in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
The official trailer should release tomorrow once Capcom reveals the information at its own World of Capcom panel at the show, so be sure to check back for a higher-definition version!
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite releases on September 19th for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
