Sometimes you just have to take off your editor hat and put on your nerd hat. For months I’ve been coldly analyzing Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite as a reporter; keeping track of changes, tweaks, and additions in style and gameplay that the community likes and dislikes, while quietly keeping my lukewarm opinions to myself. After seeing this story trailer, I’m hyped as hell and can’t help but look forward to this game as a fan. Check out the brand new, full-length story trailer above and I think you’ll undergo the exact same transformation.

What. Was. That?! Are you kidding me? There’s just something about seeing all of these iconic characters huddled together and listening to a holographic Dr. Light speak that is so chilling. There’s something about seeing The Incredible Hulk hurl Street Figther‘s Ryu into the sky for an aerial attack on some king of Venom beast. It sounds so out of left field, but it works. It just works.
Capcom is obviously crafting an enormous, ambitious story campaign for Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, and now we can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.
