0A playthrough of the DLC character Winter Soldier/Bucky in the PC/Steam version of Capcom’s Marvel vs Capcom Infinite.
A huge, huge thanks to user GodShin for the values for this game.
This guy is known as Winter Soldier here, but nearly everyone knows him as Bucky, so I’ll generally being referring to him as that.
Bucky is one of those characters who works much better as a part of the MCU than outside of it. He’s one of the most morally ambiguous characters of the entire universe, and helped to give both Captain America: Winter Soldier and Civil War a level of depth which made them my favourite films so far in the MCU, with Winter Soldier in particular possibly being the darkest, most grounded film in the whole anthology. While the first Captain America film wasn’t anything too special, it did help to set up the moral ambiguity and darker tones of its sequels, as Hydra insidiously manages to survive throughout the decades despite its defeat in WW2, very similar in fact to how fascism survived in both East Germany and Croatia following the Second World War, while Civil War took a pretty maligned comic book plot and somehow actually made it work, by dividing Avengers into those who believed in regulation of super-heroes and those who didn’t.
This video seemed to be the worst affected by the recording glitches, unfortunately, but that’s life I suppose. Gameplay-wise Bucky is pretty standard on the whole, utilising a skorpion submachinegun, along with some powerful striking special moves. Like Widow, his moveset is actually relatively grounded, and with a lack of core, recognisable powers like most superhumans, he makes for a somewhat bizarre character to play as. Zany powers have always been a big part of comic book superheroes (as you’d expect, really), but the MCU tries to keep the whole thing relatively grounded on the whole, with characters not utilising their powers excessively and said powers usually having a more grounded basic. In that way, characters in Children of the Atom were based on well-known characters with well-known abilities for you to utilise, whereas characters like Widow and Bucky are pretty grounded without definitive “powers” as such, and so trying to make them work with the rest of the Marvel cast just seems odd. Don’t get me wrong; Bucky plays pretty well here, with some strong, powerful attacks and some decently complex combos, but I can’t say he’d ever be a character I’d personally prefer to use.
Next up, it’s time to finally finish this excuse of a game.
