Street Fighter 5 servers now down for maintenance to implement New Holiday and Nostalgia costumes (UPDATE: The servers are back up)

Here's the second DLC pack for Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite. The characters are Winter Soldier, Black Widow, and Venom. The characters will be available on December 5.

Venom looks cool but his voice doesn't fit him. Black Widow and Winter Soldier look decent.

Remenber when the list of DLC characters was revealed? Remenber when people thought that it was gonna be Black Widow from the Slam Master series? Not gonna lie, I would have preferred Capcom's Black Widow over Marvel's Black Widow. Why? 'Cuz it would be the first time a Slam Masters character appeared in a Capcom crossover (Mike Haggar's moveset in MVC3 and Infinite is based on his Final Fight appearences rather than Slam Masters), it would be the first time in more than 20 years that the Slam Masters characters were featured in another videogame, and the roster wouldn't be uneven in Marvel's favor. Instead, the roster would be balanced. On top of that, Capcom's Black Widow is a cool character with a cool costume and abilities. She deserves more exposure and to be fleshed out. Not saying that Marvel's Black Widow is boring or anything, mind you.

I mean, think about it. The Slam Masters characters are not featured in Marvel vs. Capcom, SNK vs. Capcom, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Projext X Zone, ect. They got nothing! What's up with that?

"Why are people complaining that the roster is uneven on Marvel's favor? Remenber Norimaro from Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter?" - Not sure if this is bait or not. But in case you're serious, Norimaro is a character that represents neither Marvel nor Capcom. He's an original guest character based off real life comedian Noritake Kinashi.

Fun fact: according to her stats in the English release of Slam Masters II, Black Widow is the tallest woman in the SF universe at 198 cm (6'6"), being taller than Elena who is 183 cm (6'0"). However, according to the orginal Japanese release she's even taller than that at 205cm (6'9")! (Start watching at 36:44)

Her being shorter in the English release is most likely a conversion error from metric system to imperial system. Every other release of the game keeps the measurements in metric.

EDIT: For those who don't know or don't remenber, Slam Masters is the first game in the SF timeline. It's a prequel to both the Final Fight and Street Fighter series. The fact that Capcom USA fucked it up by making it a sequel to Final Fight is a diffferent matter.
