In advance of that,developer Arc System Works has released the game\u2019s opening movie and it is straight up an anime OP. Though there are probably some comic-book purists who don\u2019t like seeing Marvel lean hard into other styles, after years of seeing Marvel superheroes looking bland and often greenscreened into their environments, any time I see these characters pop in a new style, especially one as expressive as anime styles tend to be, all set to an emotional rock anthem? You got me.<\/p>\n<p>The OP gives everyone in <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/marvel-vs-capcom-tokon-fighting-souls-fgc-arc-system-works-2000699478\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">T\u014dkon<\/a>\u2019s starting roster a moment to shine, but it definitely has a few favorites in Captain America, Spider-Man, and Iron Man. I guess they are faces of the franchise at this point. Gah, the way the music swells as everyone gets a cool hero moment is plucked right out of your favorite shonen anime. It\u2019s peak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The last time Marvel did something that really hit me like this was <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/marvel-rivals-trailer-wolverine-iron-fist-black-widow-1851711241\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marvel Rivals\u2019 launch trailer<\/a>, which had the same vibes. I still listen to the song, \u201cRivals \u2018Til The End,\u201d all the time.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m looking forward to getting some extended time with T\u014dkon this weekend when the beta comes to PC and PS5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marvel T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls\u2019 public beta begins this weekend.
