She-Hulk, Felicia and M.O.D.O.K. non-TAC infinites discovered, opponent must hold forward during - Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

YouTube user スミス ミスミ recently uploaded some interesting Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 footage showing off a few non-TAC infinites. These infinites all utilize basic forward moving loops using She-Hulk, Felicia and M.O.D.O.K.

The peculiar thing about these infinites is that, although they look simple to perform, these can only be hit if the opponent is holding forward. We tested them ourselves and it seems they fall out of the combo as soon as the opponent stops holding the forward input.

Considering these may not be practical in a regular match, it does raise some curiosity. The fact that certain combos can be affected by the opponent holding a direction could potentially lead to some new combo possibilities.

Capcom adjust sales forecasts after cancelling games and decides to revise their overseas strategy

Capcom revised their financial forecasts after a loss of around $73 million, due to game cancellations, something Capcom is partly blaming on projects that have been outsourced overseas. Outsourcing projects overseas has been a standard practice for Capcom as of late.

After feeling that this strategy isn't working out for them, Capcom has decided to revert to their old fashion of having more internal game development, believing that their losses stem from a loss of quality due to "excessive" outsourcing of projects, which led to these games being cancelled.

Sven: We don't have the development resources to work on an Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 update

In a thread over on Capcom-Unity, which questioned why Super Street Fighter 4 is getting yet another update while Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 isn't, Capcom's own Christian Svensson popped in, as he often does, to shed light on the situation.

In usual Svensson-fashion, he cuts straight to the point in a list of why it is more viable, as well as actually possible, for them to focus on updating the Street Fighter IV series rather than the Marvel vs. Capcom series.
