While respecting the source, do you know anything about this obscure returning character ala are the moves similar, etc without revealing anything major

Even mentioning if they don't use a weapon is too much haha

Maybe it's Trish since I think we all assumed she's cut.

He said a veteran that he was surprised was picked in MvC3.

Haggar wasn't a veteran. Strider wasn't an obscure pick. He was one of the most requested.

Arthur's back yo

Don't play with my heart, I think now they'd be a veteran after being in MvC3.

It's nice that it might be bigger than 24 though.

 

[Troubled Bat]

No, a veteran I'd consider one of the more obscure Capcom picks in MvC3.

Arthur is back, boys!!

With respect to my source (and Capcom), I'm not going to spill any specific details. I just wanted to mention that because of the 24 character rumor, which seems unlikely in light of what I was told.

Great.. even less characters. ;____;

 

[BroBot]

This thread has been amazing so far. This gif has made it even better.

 

[Already Torn]

If Arthur and Phoenix come back and aren't complete dogshit I'll buy day 1.

 

[Jawmuncher]

No, a veteran I'd consider one of the more obscure Capcom picks in MvC3.

Lets see here.


Arthur
Firebrand
Haggar

These are the only obscure characters this day and age I would consider in the MVC3 roster.

Strider had a new game this gen.
Okami still gets a lot of random things from capcom
Viewtiful Joe had a lot of games prior
The Darkstalkers get a lot of cameo appearances.
Bionic Commando just hit 1 million sales and had all those games last gen

The only thing these 3 characters have gotten in ages are arcade releases in capcom collections and Virtual Console ports.

 

[I-hate-u]

Arthur is back, boys!!



Great.. even less characters. ;____;

I think Ryce is saying that because this certain obscure character is in, the small roster rumor seems unlikely. Cheer up Bat.

 

[Kouichi]

Hm Tron Bonne perhaps?

Tron? Trish?

 

[sephi22]

Veteran of MvC3, not necessarily MvC2.

But seriously, guys, I'm not saying anything else.

Okay. Some char that was in 3, but not in 2. Mayor please!

 

[TreIII]

No, a veteran I'd consider one of the more obscure Capcom picks in MvC3.

Cool!

*crosses fingers for Firebrand*

 

[Ryce]

You guys are ridiculous. (Not that I blame you, but still...)

 

[Xamtheking]

You guys are ridiculous. (Not that I blame you, but still...)

We'd shit our pants over a pixel at this rate

 

[Jawmuncher]

Tron? Trish?

Trish was in DMC 1 and 4. She's pretty prominent especially with the recent playable special edition. Wouldn't count her as Obscure.

MAYBE Tron. Like i'm on the fence and could fall either way on that one.

 

[TheAnvil]

Frank has a good shot of making it back.

But will it be Frank West from Dead Rising?

Or notFrank from Dead Rising 4?

 

[Already Torn]

You guys are ridiculous. (Not that I blame you, but still...)

I appreciate your sacrifice made to set my fears at ease.

Ah- didn't realize she was in 4.

Tron had her own game but like that was forever ago and Legends is one of the least known Mega Man's.

 

[FinKL]

Yall are crazy

Spoiler

Tron Bonne

 

[I-hate-u]

You started this shazam breh.

And I am grateful for that. It's been a fun week.

I sure hope so. I can't go back to a small roster anymore for Marvel. D:

This holds some truth. xD

Man what the hell have you started here!!!!???

 

[sephi22]

How disappointing if it's Nemesis

 

[Dusk Golem]

Spoiler

I'm just playing here, this is from MvC3.

 

[Already Torn]

This really shouldn't be allowed here tbh. I shat my pants.

 

[TheDinoman]

I'm thinking Ryce might be talking about Firebrand.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'd put my money on Firebrand. To me he is by far the most obscure character on the roster.
Even with his multitude of GB games and Demons Crest, they were all such small titles. They rarely even get brought up here on a hardcore enthusiast forum.

How disappointing if it's Nemesis

Not disappointing since he adds a much needed villain role to the roster.
Plus since he's a monster he adds some uniqueness as well. That's before even talking about his heavy potential.
Always obscure I wouldn't say for nemesis.

Resident Evil 3 is capcoms 11th best selling title at 3.5 million units.
He was also in a movie that went to theaters and grossed over 129 million.

So he's far from obscure.

 

[Troubled Bat]

How disappointing if it's Nemesis

B-But Nemesis is one of my most favorites, and one of main characters.

 

[I-hate-u]

How disappointing if it's Nemesis

It's a possibility. There is no one on Capcom's side that fits that 1,200k+ health, slow but powerful slot.

 

[Drayco21]

But will it be Frank West from Dead Rising?

Or notFrank from Dead Rising 4?

It'll be classic Frank, of course.

Spoiler

He just still won't be voiced by Rotolo.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I'd hardly call Tron an unlikely veteran

She's more likely to be a Megaman rep than fucking Megaman

[Raitaro]

Haggar wasn't a veteran. Strider wasn't an obscure pick. He was one of the most requested.

Arthur's back yo

Such a shame that a once near-mascotte level character like Arthur would actually have to be considered obscure these days... And that after Ghosts 'n Goblins was included in the Nes Classic lineup. Sad but true I guess, and now that I think about it, maybe Firebrand is even more likely / obscure by extension.

Amaterasu and Viewtiful Joe might qualify as well, depending on how loosely you interpret "veteran".

All that said, if Dusk Golem is indeed correct about the game using the MCU actor's likenesses instead of Capcom's tried and true, usually great cartoony interpretations of these characters, my interest in MVC4 is dwindling rapidly anyway. I don't need more realistic proportions, natural lighting and dark color palettes in fighting games (which were the reasons I never really managed to get into the new KI or newer MK games). Cartoony and colorful or bust imo. Getting really curious and more than a little bit anxious how the game will look at this stage.

Firebrand has been in a lot of VS titles tho. Arthur was more unprecedented.

Firebrand would be great.

yes, and it was very fake.

 

[Dusk Golem]

There's not really a single character you could point to that'd be universally hated from the MvC3 roster unfortunately, there's some more niche favorites but generally the cast was pretty solid with some good variety, plus the characters were all from something before to give added likability.

Spoiler

I like Nemesis. ;3;

Is the Dog returning?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Captain Commando will make a glorious return.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Ryce said MvC3 not UMvC3.

Spoiler

I'm going in on this ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)‎

 

[TRUE ORDER]

I will not stand for this.


fucking what

Psylocke needs to come back!

With respect to my source (and Capcom), I'm not going to spill any specific details. I just wanted to mention that because of the 24 character rumor, which seems unlikely in light of what I was told.

It has to be Arthur

I would personally cut Spencer, Taskmaster, and that version of Jill immediately.

Unless Spider-Gwen is in it too it seems REALLY weird to have Gwenpool. Unless they're both alt-costumes maybe?

They're different characters, but it's fake anyway

 

[Drayco21]

Spencer is great though; just make OG Rad his default instead of the Grin design.

 

[Weiss]

Are there seriously only 24 characters?

2v2 and a slim roster would kill my interest in this tbh. I don't need 8 million Darkstalkers waifus but the variety allowing characters like Taskmaster, MODOK, Amaterasu and Dormammu were what made MvC3 charming.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

I know about a pretty obscure character on the Capcom side coming back -- someone who would seem really out of place in a "smaller roster." I'm not saying we're getting 50+ characters, but I'd be shocked to see this specific character in a roster of 24.

So it is a 24 roster?

 

[BronsonLee]

y'all got no chill

 

[Poltergust]

Come on guys, it's obviously Phoenix Wright.

Spoiler

Does he count as obscure? I'm honestly not sure.

 

[Jawmuncher]

So it is a 24 roster?

I'm still banking on 28-32. It's gonna be smaller than MVC3 I feel. But not by too much.
