Thor and Hulk have more mainstream appeal than most of the characters you listed combined. Its really not hard to see why these characters were chosen.
Fuck Hawkeye though most boring character in the MCU along with War-Machine.

Urien and Q combined contain more hype than this whole roster. You know it.
Better than using 20 slots on avengers.
I just cannot get over the fact how bad the Capcom roster is 
Still the best SF roster to date. Would rather choose that over those boring outplayed SF2 rosters. Come at meee

The fact that it includes BOTH Arthur and Firebrand has me suspect it. It's one thing to have Arthur but 2 GnG reps is a very odd direction to take.
Of course it's not better and you would be foolish to think otherwise.
Those Avengers characters lead billion dollar movie franchises and have their own comic book lines going back decades. Some of them have their own movies... multiple even. None of the Spider Man villains lead their own movies, they are famous because of their relationship to Spider Man.
Hell we might still get some Spider Man villains like Venom, maybe Dr Ock. That's enough representation from one comic book series. We don't want an Injustice type situation where like a quarter of the roster is from the same rogue gallery (ie Batman and villains).
I know this is your opinion but god damn imagine the backlash if they don't put in stuff like Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America in the game. Would be worse than when they forgot to put in Megaman in Marvel 3.
I mean let's be real... just about every Marvel super hero has been an Avenger at some point anyway. Even Wolverine.

It's cool that they brought back Arthur and Firebrand with how safe / limited the Capcom side is. Really liked seeing Ghosts 'n Goblins characters in MvC3. Hopefully Arthur is.... good this time.
I'm surprised there are so few characters on the Capcom side who weren't in MvC3 - just Jedah, Monster Hunter, X, and possibly the missing character (before DLC)? If they were going to pare the roster down to the degree they did, I think it would have been cooler to overhaul things and bring in a bunch of new characters instead. I guess this lets them recycle things from MvC3 though.

But then how would they reuse animations
I think I'm going to pretend MvC Infinite doesn't release this year. I wasn't expecting it anyway and the DLC seems like a must have given this poor core roster, so maybe they'll have a 'Complete' edition in 2018. If not at least the base game will be substantially cheaper by then.

Funnily enough, MSHvSF only had Sakura and Dan as new characters. There was also Shadow who is an altered Nash IIRC.
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit
although firebrand is in gng he has his own offshoot series that has 3 games in it

gargoyles quest 2

The FIRST Marvel vs Capcom didn't have Akuma lol
You could play as Akuma technically speaking in Marvel 1. You just had to enter some code on Ryu but all of his moveset is in tact.

He wasn't in 1 either. Ryu could access his moves though (whether you want to call it Evil Ryu or not).
edit: likewise Ryu could switch to Ken's moves as well. I thought it was a pretty cool work around than having all three there.

I still count those games as part of the GnG/Makaimura series TBH. He did debut in Makaimura for one thing.
Oh man, we had a guy at our local arcade (eons ago) that used to do this. He never told anyone how he was doing it either. Yeah this is technically Akuma, just without the actual character.
I'd be excited to see how they implement the character in a fighting game. I still find it odd that the team "rejected the idea" for MvC3.
I'm honestly shocked there was no Felyne Mii Costume DLC in Smash 4, given how crossed-over they are with Nintendo games. Now that XX is coming to Switch a stage or an assist trophy seems like a solid possibility for the rumored port.
Thats not why everyone liked mvc.MVC was never mainstream. Casuals cant play those games. People liked MVC for its weird character choices like why would anyone put blackheart ? he is not mainstream , then every marvel game would have same fuckin roster because popular characters are mostly same.
who the fuck is modok why put him to when we can put our boring hawkeye etc etc
I didnt know MVC games we turned into mobile game tier advertisement fest.
thats shame because if i wanted those they are free on iOS

Looks believable, reusing assets where they can and focus on the MCU characters. Lame.
cant say I can trust Max on anything capcom related he never says much negative stuff about their games, just supports them no matter how bad they act

He's been pretty negative on SFV for awhile now at least.
If you ask the pros I dont even know if they would say its good.
I agree with the polygon article. I do feel that they should have mentioned that the premium costumes can only be bought with money which annoyed the hell out of me when I got the season pass. Im just going to stick to kof when MvCI comes out

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Another sausage-fest then.
Honestly this game is going to die by comparison to Injustice 2. Crap looking basic outsourced character models, casualed up fighting system, and a boring roster.

As a casual fighting game player this roster would kill any excitement I have for this game.

NRS games never make it in the fighting community. also why are the animations for those games so weird looking? the impact and juggling body animation are so odd.

At least in Smash you can make a mii fighter, smash also has ganondorf which is 100% more non white characters then mvci. Also outside of obscure as fuck fe characters which non white humans from Nintendo series actually are big enough to be in smash? Marvel has tons of black characters it could/should have added so most people are less likely to give Marvel a pass.

The roster is trash, but there's nothing casual about the fighting system. It looks and plays like a Vs game.
NRS games do fine in the FGC. Their fans just move on to the next NRS title.
People who say them removing the Xmen and F4 removed possible females are right but that doesn't mean they wouldn't have had a big spectrum of possible females that are even pushed in recent years
Ms Marvel
Spider-Gwen
Gwenpool
Captain Marvel
SheHulk
Jessica Jones
Spectrum
Miss America
Medusa
Thor?!?
SpiderWoman
Last Captain Universe
Angela
Nebula
Phyla Vell
Etc etc.
Problem is Marvel tried too hard choosing movie characters eventhough of all of them their comic counterpart and visual design is way better.
The roster is embarassing.
The capcom side is somehow even worse, no Vergil, no zero, only 2 sf chars? Nemesis over Wesker or the father of RE7?
Arthur again?????
Damn this game has such a cool collectors edition that I want, though the game looks to be so underwhelming and not deserving my money

One of these might be a bonus (see how fighting game threads have people asking if the game is great for newbies?) but not at the cost of the roster, which is kind of boring.
Funny seeing people scream for different characters, though. Even at 60 characters there likely would be people massively disappointed that their favorite isn't in the game.
yeah no,you didnt play it, people were saying who played it is indeed casualized. No assists, casualized control scheme etc etc

This would become from trash to acceptable if you just would replace Nemesis with Jill, replace Arthur and Firebrand with any other requested Capcom characters and add Wolverine, Magneto, Black Panther and Scarlet Witch.
You would have at least 2 more females, 2 iconic mutants of the franchise and fucking Black Panther.
But this roster they can take it and stick it up their ass.

I want Xmen including cyclops, Logan, cable, storm, sentinel

You are in for a rude awakening when you play this game online and get slaughtered by stuff you didn't think was possible in a fighting game.
This game is still a Versus game. The "casual" stuff they added/changed is not going to make a lick of a difference... the skill gap will be apparent very quickly.
The Tag in system is actually very robust and is a solid replacement to the assist system, only with a higher potential skill cap. It's pretty new for the Versus series which means uncharted territory when it comes to technology.

Even with an mcu focus
Black Widow
Gamora
Captain Marvel
Jessica Jones
Wasp
Elektra
Nebula

They could have put plenty of female characters in if they wanted to, the problem was they'd all have to be new, and clearly capcom wasn't about that.

Yeah, and there are also people who've said the game's system was a throwback to the older games moreso than MVC3 was. Having no assists doesn't suddenly make it a casual game unless you're going to say every Vs game without assists was a casual game.
It has MVC2's button layout. The "casual friendly" option was the auto-combo option. Aside from that, based on various impressions, it looks and plays exactly like a typical Vs game.

Max just can't win. He was shat on by some in the SFV thread because he doesn't like the game and doesn't cover it much.
