I'm kind of hoping the following characters don't return in the next Marvel game. Not that they aren't any good, but I just feel like they don't need to be included in the next round:

Arthur
Hsien-Ko
Nemesis
Iron Fist
X-23
Tron Bonne
Jill
Chris
She-Hulk
Trish
Felicia
Phoenix
Super-Skrull
Taskmaster
 
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.
There isn't even seriously a game yet

Wait till it actually gets announced before losing your shit

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.

Hello.
 
I feel like the only characters we can brand as obscure are those from PSX era and back (Not couting PS2-Ps3 poor selling titles like FF street Wise or Dark Void) who haven't had any sort of new release in ages. Even if they had appearances in something like PxZ. Which to be fair is a game aimed at super fans due to how far back they can go.

For example I would consider a lot of the Star Gladiator cast at this point obscure.
Same with the Cyber Bots, and captain commando.
Not counting the veteran status of the characters that did make it into the game such as Jin, CC, and Hayato. But even then I'd say their obscure if you're not a fighting game fan at this point.

For example if June from Star Gladiator was revealed as a new character. That would be pretty damn obscure to most. Even with her recent appearance in PxZ2.

Though that's what I like about the Capcom side. They have enough to balance well known with obscure to keep everyone on their toes.

Ghosts 'n Goblins is a big cap franchise and absolutely needs Arthur to rep it. You're buggin if you think otherwise

Yeah, Arthur needs to be in it but Firebrand can be removed despite having an interesting playstyle. I know it's impossible considering all the hoops that need to be jumped through with the MvC series but Capcom should treat it like the Smash Bros. franchise with their representation. Some characters can leave but I want as many obscure franchises repped as possible (and even then I'm mostly talking about GnG, Bionic Commando, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, etc. which aren't so much obscure as there's not much reason to use those inclusions to "promote" those franchises which likely aren't coming back anytime soon).
 
Hsien-Ko is fucking awful and Nemesis is trash too

Everyone on that list can boun-



BOUNCE

Nah nemesis is legit, we need heavies and villains.

Isn't a vet

He didn't seem to specify if he meant they'd be a rep in the 4th game.
I took it as a a character from MVC3, because said character appearing in 4 would become a "veteran"
I don't usually specify UMVC3 and MVC3 since I consider them the same when talking roster.
 
Arthur isn't obscure... He's almost a gaming legend.

Obscure Capcom characters from UMvC3 would be:
Hsien-Ko, Firebrand and Tron. You could make an argument for Trish too I suppose.
 
DS needs new reps, they have limited appearances as is. Morrigan is probably a lock too since she's a legacy character. Felica and Hsien-Ko needa go for some new dudes

Well, Ryce specifically said MvC3 so that may exclude the UMvC3 added characters.

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

So a veteran who came back in 3, who was more obscure.

And based on the Marvel 3 roster, I'd say its Tron.
 
That would make sense; Tron is a staple of the series, but it's not like she's been regularly showing up in Mega Man games, even when Mega Man games were regularly coming out- she's probably the most likely Mega Man rep at this point.

It depends really.
Obscure to the fans of these games no. If you bought MVC1-3 characters that have appeared aren't going to be obscure to you.

But to everyone else? Yeah I could see the argument for just about anyone really.
Even Arthur could fall into that bill now. Yeah he's a gaming legend, but he also hasn't been very big in a long time. He's no pac-man. If you're pushing for casuals, a lot of the capcom roster is a bit "Who are these guys".

I'm just talking in general here.
Even my top pick regina despite her series selling 3+ million and both DC1 and DC2 selling more than a million each is obscure now.
Just not as obscure as others.
 
Isn't a vet

He said a vet from MvC3, not necessarily MvC2, which I took as an obscure character who was introduced in MvC3. If you go by that metric, how many "obscure" characters on the Capcom side were introduced in MvC3?

Spencer, Arthur, Haggar and Firebrand are the only ones that come to immediate mind. Hsien-Ko, Wesker and Nemesis aren't exactly obscure due to franchise association. Amaterasu is arguable.

Unless I misunderstood what Ryce is actually saying.
