But if you thought you’d seen everything 2017 has to offer in the fighting genre, then think again. Marvel vs Capcom may not have been in quite the same league as those aforementioned titles with its recent entries, but with a new release comes a fresh chance to battle with the best. But does Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite have what it takes to rank amongst the greats?"
A surprise 35GB update for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite dropped seven years after the last patch, without any explanation from Capcom.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is still a better package
I couldn't disagree more with this review. There are few points that make me scratch my head a little because it seems that the reviewer didn't really spend time playing or just didn't get the hang on fighting games.
" With your health bar quickly diminishing in mere seconds should you be on the end of a lengthy one, and with no way to block a combo if the first hit makes contact, it can put an end to a fight rather quickly.". There is a mechanic on this game that if you hold forward and presses the button assigned to change character, you will spend 2 bars of the meter but your partner will be able to appear and interrupt the combo, that's a very powerful defensive move if used correctly.
"...in Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, blocking feels more like a cowardly thing to do. This is due to the fact that you can only block if you’re moving away from your opponent and towards the far side of the screen. Not only does it feel cowardly, but it doesn’t help the flow of the fight at all.". This really seems like a joke, really. Maybe the reviewer only played Mortal Kombat or...I don't know. This point is just silly when blocking on most games works that way.
The story mode is also so bad. I think anyone that played already this game can confirm it. But what really surprises me is that this review doesn't mention how ugly the game is. The stares of the characters models look lifeless, the graphics in general looks way to blurry, and the lips of the characters doesn't match with the audio. That is a mess.
But in other hand, if something saves this game is the awesome gameplay. It's really fun and there are easy inputs (or combo assists) for newcomers that just want to play for fun without trying to dive too deep on the mechanics. But if your want it, there is a lot of material to learn and to master. But on this review, that is taken as a negative point and it really confuses me.
I know I know, opinions are subjective, but this person represents your site and it's clear that he doesn't know too much of fighting games (or that is the impression I get).
