The latest details for "Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite" will feature Rocket Raccoon and Groot in the roster and the sequel not appearing in the Capcom Pro Tour 2017.
Two members of the Guardians of the Galaxy will appear in "Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite" as the game's official Twitter page tweeted a gameplay teaser featuring Rocket Raccoon and Groot.
In the video, we see both Rocket and Groot going for an ultimate finisher against Ultron, with Groot pummeling the villain up in the air and Rocket finishes him off with a large cannon saying their famous lines "I am Groot" and "There aint like me, except me."
Hilariously enough, the Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Twitter account recognizes the fact that the reveal of this move coincides with the motion picture release of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" film, with two hashtags reading “#ShamelessPlug” and “#MovieTieIn.”
Rocket made his debut in "Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3" while this is Groot's first appearance in the fighting crossover series. Rocket made a brief appearance at the end of the first story trailer for "Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite" asking Mega Man X if how powerful X's buster canon.
Joining Rocket and Groot in the sequel are Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Captain America, Hawkeye, Thor, Hulk. Ryu, Chun-Li, Strider Hiryu, Chris Redfield and Mega Man X as they battle Ultron and Sigma to save their both Marvel and Capcom worlds.
