Marvel fighting game highly anticipated by fighting-game fans.

Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 15/08/2026

This week in the comments

A record week with over 1,500 comments, dominated by the game's launch: gratitude toward guides, Deadpool voice-actor trivia, and pride around Ghost Rider, alongside lingering friction over the PC port and accessibility options.

The 'Choose Your Main' guide is a massive hit

About 15% of this week's comments thank Rooflemonger for his 2.5-hour character guide, praising its clarity and the sheer effort behind it.

→ see 'Gratitude toward community guides', a classic since the very first guides
Who really voiced Deadpool?

A brand-new wave this week: dozens of comments point out Nolan North has voiced Deadpool since 2008-2009, long before Ryan Reynolds, mostly correcting a remark made in the video.

« Nolan North (Nathan Drake from Uncharted) has been playing Deadpool for about 17 years, way before Ryan Reynolds did in the movies. I love that the people in the comments knew it, and told you about it as well. »

Robbie Reyes finally wins over the skeptics

Several comments praise Robbie/Ghost Rider's story arc and his chemistry with Deadpool and Loki, a sentiment already strong since the character's original reveal.

→ see 'Love for Ghost Rider/Robbie Reyes', strong since his character trailer
The PC port still lagging behind

Complaints about PC performance and bugs keep resurfacing, an issue flagged since the early betas and still unresolved according to several players.

→ see 'PC port and mandatory PSN account', a recurring issue since the beta
Default text-to-speech: accessibility or annoyance?

A new topic this week: several comments debate the default text-to-speech narrator, some finding it useful for accessibility, others simply annoyed.

« Not everybody is blind by default... accessibility settings, I get it, just ask for the players' choice on first install. Or better yet, make it a system setting that newer games need to adhere to. »

Top reactions and controversies

'No disc, no buy': the anti-Sony backlash

Controversy
32 %

Since mid-July, a massive campaign has flooded the comments protesting Sony's announced end of physical game discs by 2028, often unrelated to the game itself.

85 % Pro-physical / boycott 15 % Indifferent or pro-digital

A cast and designs that win everyone over

Dominant take
18 %

The voice cast (ProZD as Doom, Kellen Goff as Carnage) and character designs draw consistent enthusiasm with every new character reveal.

« Dang, ProZD is kinda cooking as Doom, I thought he'd do a generic voice but it's unique. »

PC port and mandatory PSN account: growing anger

Controversy
12 %

Bugs, frame drops, and the game being blocked in over 100 countries due to the mandatory PSN requirement spark recurring frustration, contrasted with satisfied PS5 players.

65 % Frustrated with PC port/PSN 35 % Satisfied (mostly PS5)

Story mode surprises with its quality

Dominant take
10 %

The writing across story chapters, especially the Samurai Outriders arc with Robbie Reyes, is hailed as the game's best surprise, found more touching than expected.

« This story mode is awesome and deep. Robbie is forced to enter the tournament to save his brother, has to form a team with strangers while fighting his inner demons, and discovers along the way higher stakes that make him doubt himself. Blade helps him become a real hero. He grew a lot as a character. The story is just perfect. »

Gratitude toward community guides

Dominant take
8 %

Since the earliest trailers, the community has consistently thanked guide creators for their clarity and dedication, a stable pillar of the overall tone of the corpus.

« Been rocking with you since DBFZ, which was my intro to taking fighting games seriously. Literally would have quit if it weren't for your easy to understand guides. Just wanted to give thanks for all the time you put in to help people like me, Rooflemonger! »
