Incredibly detailed Mega Man X and Zero cosplays are crazy impressive using their Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite alternate designs
There's been plenty of excellent mecha, robotic and armored suit cosplays floating around the internet since 200X at least from Iron Man to Gundams, but really good Reploids are much rarer to come by.

This Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite combo loop deals zero physical damage, but the emotional damage is off the charts
In fighting games, and especially the Marvel vs. Capcom series, combo loops are plentiful and used to capture foes in typically inescapable situations that tack on massive amounts of damage. In Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, however, apparently it's possible to ensnare a foe in a loop that deals absolutely no damage — yet the emotional damage is very real.
Though this isn't something like a Magneto staircase combo that results in a touch-of-death, it might actually be more impressive due to just how rare of a sight it is. GonzoFGC on Twitter shared an MvCI clip that features Arthur catching Strider in a combo loop using his projectile counter that traps the ninja, but doesn't actually deal any physical damage.

Oh how I wish Capcom would make a new All-Star Versus fighting game with the amount of love and charm found in Teppen's artwork
