Tremble with terror! Sigma, along with Black Panther and Monster Hunter, are headed to Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite on October 17th. Check out the gameplay trailer here. And would you look at that; Siggy's premium costume is looking rad! It's straight out of Mega Man X5.
Everyone who obtained the 2017 Character Pass will automatically get Sigma. You can also purchase Sigma and these other characters separately for $7.99 each, which includes their premium costumes from the get-go.

Sigma's move where he makes flames on the ground show up is a lot like a move Fake Sigma in X8 does, his hand buster super is weird, since they really could have just used his hand shock wave like attack from X5, since its the very same move tbqh.
ReplyDeleteI like his level 3 a lot, despite it not really making sense on non-robot fighters, but its cool, so it flies in my book.
Since this game is clearly pushing X characters, and I think at this point having anyone else from another series would be weird with how many more X characters their are, I think it would be neat to have Vile as a playable character as well. X and Zero vs Sigma and Vile would be neat, and Vile has a lot of options for a fighter if you count his attacks as a boss and his 45 different weapons he used as a player character in MHX.
Okay now I'm a little interested in this game.
ReplyDeleteI am excited. I live his alt costume, and his level 3. My only complaint is that his level 3 should technically just give a Zero a boost, and it likely won't.
ReplyDeleteSigma looks phenomenal gameplay wise! Wish his Lv.3 Hyper Combo was a bit better, but still dig it. Personally, would of loved it if he became the X6 final form & just opened his mouth to let out a big burst beam!
ReplyDeleteIs it a sign that I've lost interest in Rockman if I care nothing about these appearances in MvCI?
ReplyDeleteNot really, no one can blame you here. MvCI is a bland game, doesn't matter what character they bring in it.
DeleteKinda, could also mean you don't like fighting games, MvC style games or MvCI specifically tho.
DeleteThat's odd since I personally was stoked to see X & Sigma! That & I'm all big time into the fighters along with the MegaMan franchise, Especially X series!
DeleteIs that... is that Sigma's fifth form, from Mega Man X5...? Holy fruits! I absolutely love that design! That's pretty rockin'!
ReplyDeleteI fucking called it. X5 sigma is badass.
ReplyDelete"DOOMBUSTER" sounds stupid, but it'll probably catch on.
ReplyDeleteWhat if Vile shows up in his ride armor? He could be like Tron Bonne.
ReplyDeleteI think the Goliath-Armor would be a badass super move. Spend a bar to get the armor, spend another bar to activate the self destruct.
DeleteFor a brief moment I thought this was Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story...
ReplyDeleteSigma - 1993
DeleteBuzz Lightyear-1995
Despite the time frame the two came out, I'm pretty sure it's a well-known joke among fans.
DeleteNo it's not a well know joke it's a meme started by a prominent FGC streamer, no one made this joke before that.
DeleteAlso no one certainly actually mistakes Sigma for Buzz Lightyear, anyone that tells you that is an idiot trying to seem sincere about what they clearly know is a meme.
Even people that sincerely think Buzz looks like Sigma think Buzz looks at least like a lighthearted friendly caricature of him with a largely different tone, color scheme and design elements, while Sigma looks statuesque, grim and evil.
That's like some douche making a meme about how Hulk looks like Shrek or some crap, and some dude coming up in a Hulk fan site in a Marvel video game article and being like, I sincerely thought Hulk was Shrek for a second (give me a freaken break)....
For some reason this is the first time I'm hearing the joke, and I've been a fan of Mega Man and on the internet since before before the 2000s, give or take.
DeleteI (the guy who wrote the post about Buzz Lightyear) didn't know this meme/joke either but just realized their resemblance.
DeleteAnd of course I didn't honestly think this was Buzz Lightyear, I mean come on, it was just a joke, man...
why getting so angry anon1?
DeleteI did'nt knew there was a meme about it, and as for that joke, i might have heard it one or two time a decade ago, and there's nothing particularly wrong with this joke, it did'nt insult the character or the MMX game.
As for Hulk, there are ton of this kind of joke about him (more about jolly green giant rather than Shrek), and no one stress it.
They're probably having a bad day. Hey, sometimes I get shit wrong - I wasn't super into the MM series growing up. I heard that the joke's been around for a while but didn't get a specific time frame. *shrug* It's still an amusing comparison to me.
DeleteSigh... My bad, joke on, say what you guys want. Doesn't matter anyway.
DeleteHis X5 design is neat. that's cool !
ReplyDeletedid'nt knew there where going to be monster hunter, too.
