First look at Marvel vs Capcom Infinite’s Black Widow, Venom and Winter Soldier
Capcom has released a new gameplay trailer that gives us a first look at the next DLC characters and their super-moves arriving on December 5th for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite with Black Widow, Venom and Winter Solider. You can watch the new gameplay trailer below, as well as checking out some new screenshots and Capcom bio’s on each of the forthcoming DLC characters. Each of the characters will be available to Character Pass owners at no extra cost or as an individual purchase.
For those that are yet to try out Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, the game will have a ‘Free Multiplayer Demo Weekend’ from November 24th to the 27th. Which I hope for Capcom’s sake, the online player base is far more vibrant then what I’ve encountered thus far.
While the gameplay of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is at its core, a damn fine fighting game, it misses the mark on its huge potential, you can find out why in our review here.
Winter Soldier
Young soldier Bucky Barnes fought alongside his best friend Captain America during World War II. Presumed dead after a dangerous mission ended in tragedy, he was captured by enemy forces and secretly brainwashed into becoming a deadly assassin known as the Winter Soldier. Bucky, now free from his captors, is once again ready to fight for the good of humanity.
As a skilled assassin, Winter Soldier has various ways to debilitate opponents and excels at ground combat. Using his cybernetic arm, he can activate Metal Shield, which provides him with enough armour to not only ignore hits, but to walk away unscathed. Though his move set is limited with Metal Shield active, the potential for devastating punishes is massive.
Black Widow
Trained extensively in the art of combat and espionage and outfitted with state-of-the-art tech, Natasha Romanova is the super spy known as Black Widow. Dutiful and fearless, she is a master assassin who found her true calling as an Avenger. She now fights to protect the world from Ultron Sigma’s influence.
What’s a spy without an array of lethal gadgets? Black Widow’s gauntlets can fire off different projectiles that range from a sticky bomb to one that emits a nerve gas, which crumples the opponent. With the unique ability to perform evasive manoeuvres, catching Black Widow will not be easy.
Venom
Blaming Peter Parker for the failure of his journalism career, former Daily Bugle reporter Eddie Brock bonded with a malevolent, symbiotic alien creature who had previously attempted to bond with Peter. United by the goal to destroy Spider-Man, they are the fearsome force known only as Venom!
Returning to the series with some of his signature moves, Venom’s aggressive play-style is further amplified in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. His new movement option is Venom Glide, a web zip of sorts, which can be aimed in six different directions, enabling him to keep the pressure going in his favour.
