Along with new fighters Venom, Black Widow and Winter Solider, a fresh batch of premium "cosmic crusaders" costumes are headed to Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite on December 5th. Maverick Hunters X and Zero will receive two new costumes, respectively – and they look smashing.
X's special costume is his TruForce Ver.Ke armor, which was previously hinted at with Funko's MVCI Pops.
Zero does not have a Ver.Ke figure in real life but if he did, it would most certainly look like his new costume.
...Oh and Frank West is totally getting a Proto Man costume.
Pretty nifty, eh? Head to Capcom Unity for more details!
Good to finally see an official redesign of Zero in the Ver.Ke style...
ReplyDeleteBut please fix that awkward leg twisting before release, Capcom!
You don't like it? I think it looks super flavorful.
DeleteThat's just his landing pose. It won't even be noticeable when you're fighting.
DeleteSo will X's Light-Armor super be changed to the Truforce X-Boost? That would be sick.
DeleteAlso i really wish they made a figure for Zero.
Unfortunately, it looks like they still couldn't fix X's face
ReplyDeleteHis eyes just look soulless and depressing. It doesn't look as bad with Zero, but they both look like lifeless action figures.
DeleteOh gee... i wonder why...
DeleteHue, but still no excuse for looking bad
Deleteit is'nt just Zero and X, it's just the result of going for a "realistic" style for the game.It make all the "cartoony" characters look weirdly unnexpressive.
DeleteArthur looks okay, though. I just don't understand how the head artists, let alone the team, looked at half of these faces and thought, "Looks great."
DeleteThe screenshot just makes him look worse; poor X isn't photogenic this time around. That being said, there's still room for improvement on his moves and just the way he looks overall, particular his stance. Zero never had those problems; he got everything right the first time, and the worst things about Sigma are his voice, his theme song and him just being really slow if heavy-hitting.
DeleteBut at least they're all here together, and the X vs Zero theme is easily one of this soundtrack's gems. I still look forward to seeing X in action, and his armor transformations, in this costume.
Hmm I thought they would go with the MMZ design for Zero.
ReplyDeleteI gotta hand it to Capcom, sometimes they do listen. It may not be in a brand new MM game, but the ver.ke X design is now officially playable. And NOW we even have a Zero counterpart ver.ke that's also playable! Pretty Cool!
My dood Venom's finally here.
ReplyDeleteNeat costumes, too.
Why does X look so bad? It's like they picked the worst screenshot they had of him, with his mouth open like that and those dead eyes staring at nothing. The entire novelty of the costume is just overshadowed by that, but I guess he looks okay in action with it. I think I might just prefer the Command Mission costume.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad there weren't as many people complaining about X's dead face as there were about Chun-Li's. Smaller fanbase, I know, but I feel like the only one who's noticing this.
It's not because of a smaller fanbase man...
DeleteYou gotta be unaware as heck to think any character especially X had it anywhere near as bad as Chun's initial model.
I wasn't unaware, though. Chun-Li looked like a baby doll for little girls, a far cry from her earlier models, and nobody shut up about it. The difference was I didn't give as much of a shit about her as I did X. The only other guy I've seen who kinda comes from the same place is Maximilian Dood, and he also echoed everyone's sentiment about Chun-Li.
DeleteThe point is more people cared about Chun-Li not just because of how bad she should not have looked, but because she's more popular than X.
Chun got the worst face of all, but until the likes of Jedah were revealed--and now Black Widow and Bucky--everybody looked fucking awful. Name the character and I'll tell you what was wrong with their face. It was a shitshow the game hasn't fully recovered from yet,though I think most have forgotten about the story mode by now.
DeleteHeh, I actually like the Frank West costume, nice homage to Dead Rising's homage. Also I always wanted Hien in a MVC game so I guess this is close enough....
ReplyDeleteWell Truforce should better start working on Zero Ver.Ke Soon. Now that Capcom has released a official redesign for Zero. I'll be waiting for it. So will my wallet.
