Ryu charges up a Hadouken in a cel-shaded mod for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

Crossover fighting gameMarvel vs. Capcom: Infinitefirst sauntered onto various videogaming mechanisms back in 2017. We forgot to review it. Oops. But others did, sometimescomplaining about the art style, which was a chunky and plastic-looking departure from previous games in the series. It’s now almost seven years later but at least one person has not forgotten this missed opportunity. A fighting game modder has been tinkering with shaders to bring the comic book style of previous games to Infinite. Looks cool.

Case in point: fighting game streamer Maximilian Dood has also pledged support to the mod, saying he hascommissioned the modderto continue work on the project. “We’re in the early stages, with only a couple days of tinkering, but already the results are absolutely incredible,” he said recently.

The same code-wrangler working on this alsoput Sonic into Guilty Gear: Strive, andCloud Strife in Multiversus. Excellent. I don’t know if those previous efforts are publicly available to download or simply fun antics the modder enjoys posting online. Either way, I appreciate it.
