With Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite‘s first batch of DLC characters hitting early next week, Capcom went ahead and showed off more of them during a special stream last night.

The Capcom-Unity stream focused on showing off some of the things these characters — Black Panther, Monster Hunter, and Sigma — can do. This includes some things that may help players in dealing with certain match-ups (e.g. Sigma’s counter move working against Gamora’s gun shots, automatically teleporting him right beside her).

For those that missed the stream, the replay of it is currently up on Twitch. Interested players can check it out below:

Back in 1992, Midway Games launched the first entry of what would become one of the most celebrated fighting game franchises ever. Now, 25 years later (give or take a few days) Midway’s successor, NetherRealm Studios, is paying tribute to Mortal Kombat.

Launched in arcades on October 8, 1992, Mortal Kombat went on to become a one of the most influential video games — not just among fighting games, but among games in general. The game’s controversial violence led to the eventual creation of a ratings system for games, now run by the ESRB. The same over-the-top action and violence, alongside a plethora of secrets, bonuses, and more, had kept the series alive in the hearts and minds of gamers, even if some installments failed to catch the same competitive traction as other franchises.

The video below celebrates all of that, and includes excerpts from some of the creative team at NRS such as John Vogel, Carlos Pesina, Steve Beran, Tony Coskie, Dan Forden, and of course, Ed Boon.

Now, the description for the video says that there’s more to come — so expect more from NetherRealm as they celebrate 25 years of this classic series.

Last time we saw Omen of Sorrow, it was at an exhibition match at First Attack 2017. Since then, AOne has brought the game to another Latin American event: Treta Championship 2017.

At Treta Championship 2017, an Omen of Sorrow exhibition match was held featuring Brian Kasugano, and ETC|McFly. The former used Vladislav and Caleb, while the latter went with Gabriel, while also picking up Caleb as well.

For those interested in how the exhibition played out, AOne has shared the footage of it — which you can watch below.

This past weekend at the New York Comic Con, Capcom brought out Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s first batch of DLC characters: Black Panther, Monster Hunter, and Sigma. Alongside revealing the release date for the three, they also allowed people to try them out at the show.

For those who weren’t able to go to NYCC, GameSpot was able to capture some direct feed footage of the three in action. The video below features a match between all three characters (alongside Captain Marvel) duking it out. While the gameplay on showcase isn’t exactly high-level competitive play (you can tell that whoever is playing is letting their opponent get some hits in), we do see some examples of what these characters are capable of, such as Monster Hunter’s post-super install mode, and Black Panther and Sigma’s wall jumps.

With Capcom bringing Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite to the New York Comic Con, it should come as no surprise that Long Island’s favorite son, Joe “LI Joe” Ciaramelli, was at the event to try the characters out.

Also at the event was Mark “BornFree” Sheridan, who caught up with LI Joe. In the video below, BornFree shares some of LI Joe’s matches against Capcom’s Mike D, while also getting his impressions on the DLC characters — who he’s using, what he thinks will be effective with them, and more.
