Sigma (the acting leader of the Maverick Hunters before the X-Series) actually turned into a Maverick himself when he fought Zero for the first time. After he fought Zero near his capsule, which was leaking the Maverick Virus, he was severely weakened because Zero almost defeated Sigma, but he managed to get the upper hand. Due to large exposure to the Maverick Virus during the fight and being very weak after the heat of battle, Sigma started to succumb to the Maverick Virus real quick which turned him into a Maverick.

Just shows how much of a badass Sigma actually is. He might be beaten at the end of every game but man he was a monster. Even the scene with him vs Zero in X4 blew me away as a kid.

I'm actually probably going to be disappointed if we don't get him now lol.

Strider... Megaman X... Just give me Zero and a BoF character and I'm set on the Capcom side.

I just need Dante. Megaman X, Dante, Strider is amazing and everything past that is like all the Christmas miracles.

It'd be amazing if they got Bass.EXE in with say Megaman Zero series Zero as the "Megaman 3" for this one.
 
I cant be the only one who thinks Ultron at the end there had a certain dragon in his chest

A list of Lupinko's tweets were complied earlier by tirkaroKujo. Something I'd like to note, though, in addition to the X-Men character tweets possibly being more eulogies than hints: although the one tweet is listed at possibly being a hint at Proto Man or Vile, I'm pretty sure it was actually for X as that was the Ruby-Spears episode that had him in it.

I'm still catching up but is there anything outright confirming there's no X-Men/F4/Deadpool representation? The UMvsC3 remaster gave me hope otherwise. :/

Capcom side looking whack atm if these in the future turn out to be true, outside of like Lin

I updated my post btw, because I read your post later.

Sigma did NOT get infected by Zero in anyway, so not even the punching on Zero's crystal on his helmet.
The Zero Virus is something that is developed later.

Lots of people think Zero infected Sigma with the Maverick Virus, which is not true.

Ah okay, it's been a long as time since I've played the X series. Appreciate the clarification with Sigma.


Forgot about the zero virus.

I believe this cutscene shows helps explain.

The Zero Virus is something that comes up way later though, Zero never had the Zero Virus in the first place. He was just simply a Maverick influenced by the Maverick Virus.
The Zero Virus actually came into existence when Sigma merged his Sigma Virus with the Colony Virus form X5.
 
Every time I see the word "Sigma" I hear it in Phi from VLR's voice. Especially when "Zero" is written close to it.

In other words, I probably played too much VLR.

Is that Sigma is bad ass.

Remasters of older games made before Contest of Champions are exempt from the ban (as shown by Deadpool & the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games). Newly-made games from after CoC, like MvCI, are what's being impacted by the ban. Also, the fact that Wolverine was completely absent from the reveal (when he was front-&-center for the reveals of other MvC games) is pretty telling. The leaks that foretold the reveal of MvCI also said no Fox characters.

Nothing as of now, but it's probably what's going to happen. Wolverine didn't show up as Ryu's "rival"
There's DLC at least.

The rumors that said this would exist at all (and would be shown at PSX) said there would be no X-Men, and Wolverine got replaced by Captain Marvel.

If that's not confirmation I don't know what you want.

Dope. Thanks for clearing it up. I've always wondered about that. I could have sworn I read that somewhere though so maybe it was a retcon or translation issue.

What are we thinking RE: control schemes?

4 button fighter + 1 Assist?

1 assist would make sense as it being your second partner.
Going back to 2v2 I could see it going to 6 buttons, but on the other hand. I could see them keeping the 4 button. That's easier for the mass audience.
 
Capcom's list of features describes players being able to engage in "accessible and FREE-FORM" 2v2 team battles, that allow for new gameplay dynamics never before seen in the franchise

What do they mean by "free-form"?
Marvel's always been the type of game where you can make your own combos. It's not like SF games, where you follow a set sequence.

Yeah, I'm hoping the calls for accessibility by the devs are on the money - I'd love a lower execution, slower paced MvC game that more people can enjoy.

PlayStation Move

sounds exhausting

just realised that its very likely that the gameplay trailer will have other characters than just those 4

So, Unreal 4. Who's making this game? Dimps? Eighting? Team Ninja?! Taking bets. Hoping for Eighting.

also hoping for eighting but assuming this really wasn't some quick CG trailer thrown together in the span of a couple hours, the animation looks considerably subpar compared to their mvc3 cinematic trailers. so.....
