That leak goes out of its way to mention Venom DLC but forgets Sigma is already confirmed DLC roster in the game. I find it to be a pretty suspect final roster leak. Especially since if they are just porting over dudes from 3 it makes no sense to dump so many and yet keep others like that. 32 cuts? Not even all have license issues on the Marvel side of those cuts either.
Sorry but this feels like misdirection. Whatever does get announced later will come as such a relief to players that they'll be thrilled in comparison and I think maybe thats what this leak is for. To make people happier with the final roster which will likely be smaller than 3. Hell the newcomers are all c listers and none of the popular Capcom legacy characters were in this list? Makes me think that if they reveal anyone popular from last game now it'll be huge good reactions after this bombshell because it'll spell relief.
A list like this just softens the backlash of a small roster or content reveal later IMO because "at least it wasn't that OTHER list."
