Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Characters and Stages Roster Discussion Thread

Ryce said:
A 28 character roster would leave only six characters (and only two Marvel characters!) to be revealed over the next three months, which doesn't sound right to me. Eight characters were revealed at E3 alone, and another eight were previously revealed during the April press tour. Six characters would have to be stretched very thinly between Evo, Comic-Con, Gamescom, and whatever other events Capcom plans on supporting, not to mention the possibility of non-event info drops.

When my source said there'd be a 28 character starting roster, I can't help but think that he just rounded up from the 27 names that he knew for sure, assuming that's all there was. I don't know if he was flat out told the number 28 by someone at Capcom.

So what do you personally think is going to happen?

I'm hoping for 40 characters, but I'd be good with 32-34.
 
you know what we need?

a reveal that wasnt on any list. That way we can go "fuuuuuuuuuuuu now what? now anything can happen! ITS HAPPENING BOYS" for weeks...

so that when we do get a 28 character roster the crushing disapointment can be even greater!

How many of you guys think that there will be more than 28 characters at launch?

I would predict about 36 characters roster. I already post my thought on that matters in the past.

I'm sorry about double post but I really want to get it off my mind so here it goes.

Release date is like three months away so we still have plenty of times to get more information and reveals. I know many people believe that Ryce's roster leak is complete but let humor me and see my point about it. Also I'm going to follow gameplay trailers, not story mode trailers so keep it in your mind.

PSX Reveal - Captain America, Captain Marvel Iron Man, Morrigan, Ryu and Mega Man X (Power Stone and Time Stone)
April Reveal - Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Ultron, Chris Redfield, Strider, and Chun Li (Space Stone)
E3 Reveal - Rocket Raccoon, Dr. Strange, Thanos, Nova, Dante, Spencer, Arthur, and Zero (Reality Stone)

So we still have two months worth of reveals. I would guess that we might have two more trailers to go since we still haven't seen two more infinity stones in action yet. Also I would like to remind everyone that we still have 7 characters left that haven't revealed in gameplay trailer, which are Gamora, Ant-Man, Jedah, Monster Hunter, Spider-Man, Firebrand and Nemesis.

I can't see them splitting 7 characters and two stones into two trailers but at same time, I could see it happen. It's plausible that Venom and Frank West might be part of base roster. My point is it's possible that there might be very few more characters that Ryce and other sources might not know of. I'm not asking everyone to set their expectation for few more characters but just keep your expectation low and we might be surprised at the end.

Man, that sucks if it's true...

Here is the context if he plans to delete in the future.

So I contacted them yesterday, much like I do whenever some new information is released about the game (official or otherwise), and they of course chose to stay tight-lipped. Nothing could be coaxed out of them in regards to the main roster, but I was given an interesting piece of information as compensation, and it's in regard to a character that we've known about for months now and we probably won't see until over a month after launch, Sigma.

You see, according to my associates, Sigma was apparently never intended to be a DLC character. He was a character that was designed to be one of the main villains you'd fight in Arcade and Story mode before they would fuse into Ultron Sigma (and supposedly Ultron Omega afterwards for a three-phase fight (Ultron Omega isn't confirmed yet, this is speculatory)). This is surprising as this would mean that Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite was going to launch with more Mega Man characters than Street Fighter, which is insane to think of in this day and age.
This was apparently not a decision made by the development team, but rather one of the many requests that Marvel pushed on them. The idea they had in mind by pushing Sigma to the DLC slot was that they would be able to keep Ultron in the public eye and have him be the main villain that all players associate with the game. This is also why Ultron Sigma's design is rougly 80% Ultron and 20% Sigma, it's Marvel's decision and it costed them alot more than they bargained for.

Because of Sigma being cut so late into development (His animations were roughly 60% done by the time of this request), Capcom was forced to create an extra character in order to match up with Marvel's launch roster, and as a result, this character isn't featured in the main story. As for who this character is, all the associates could say is that it's a veteran, and a fan favorite at that. Whether it's a fan favorite to Marvel fans or fans of the franchise the character is from isn't specified.

While Sigma being cut for the sake of Marvel publicity is a disgusting tactic, the last piece of information they passed on was even worse. You see, the development team of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is largely comprised of X-Men fans, and from that statement alone, you probably know where this is going... They're well aware of how much of a legacy these characters hold to fans of the series, and as fans themselves, my associates essentially want to openly apologize to all those who wanted X-Men in the base roster of the game, because they did too.
The dev team was apparently fighting tooth & nail for the inclusion of X-Men characters in Marvel Infinite, going as far as to settle with Wolverine alone. Of course, Marvel at first declined the request, but as the dev team kept pushing and asking them, they were forced to come to a deal.

The deal set in place was that Marvel had full-reign on the choices for the Marvel side of the base roster and the first wave of DLC, but come the end of the year, they're apparently being given the freedom to choose from the entire Marvel library. While this is the case, Marvel apparently made it clear that they would still be suggesting characters for DLC.

This is essentially the abridged version of the story I was told, and since they've made it clear that they're not entirely trustworthy, I don't know how much of this to believe. However, the sincerity about the X-Men seemed legitimate, but hey, that's just me.

That's all I have to say for now, just information of Sigma, the X-Men and the state of the game as a whole. I was given open permission to pass this along so I suppose this doesn't go against any kind of contracts they're under, but it has me scratching my head. If Marvel made Capcom force Sigma to become DLC, just how much has Marvel been involved with this game's development? I don't know, but this is definitely something to think about.

See you all in July for more Marvel Infinite news.

Thanks for posting.

If this stuff is true, I'm beginning to wonder if Marvel is the real detriment of this crossover. Capcom does dumb stuff, no question, but this stuff right here takes it a step further.

And the worst part is that it doesn't even sound unbelievable.

His first two posts were


So, I think it's pretty apparent that the internet has been in sort of a fit of denial ever since Ryce supposedly leaked the full roster for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, and to be completely honest, you have every right to be, especially since it turns out that this leak is true.

Before I give you anymore information, I should probably give you some insight on how I actually came to know this. I'm essentially what I'd like to call a freelance animator, having graduated from Toronto's George Brown College a couple of years ago. In the years proceeding, I was lucky enough to meet several people in the business, and two of these people happened to work for Capcom USA. The information I have for you, as scarce as it is, is from these guys. Names will be with-held as well as position (for obvious reasons), but these two individuals have indeed confirmed that what Ryce said is true.

You see, the team behind Infinite is fully aware of the fact that Ryce has been leaking information about the game before Infinite even got announced, but simply let it pass because of one singular reason...he's never fully told the truth. They wouldn't tell me anymore than that regarding characters, but in exchange for keeping surprises for later, they decided to give me details on the story mode. Apparently, this information was deemed to be far less important by the higher ups when compared to the actual gameplay and characters of the game, which they chuckled at.

-In terms of cutscenes, the story is around two and a half hours long.

-The story features the option to play through story sections either as a solo character or creating your own team from the characters available. Certain character choices may effect dialogue before and after a fight.

-There are several unplayable characters being created for the use in Story mode, acting as enemy units for the player to fight. The first confirmed ones are the Asgardian soldiers seen in the first story trailer. The second is apparently a Rathalos from the Monster Hunter series.

-All 6 of the first wave DLC characters will be making an appearance in the story in some form, while the only character the player can actually fight is an incomplete version of Sigma.

-Zero is a part of the story mode, Johnny Yong Bosch apparently returning to voice the character. It's not made clear if he's a playable character.

-While Ultron Sigma is the main villain of the story, both Thanos and Jedah play pivotal roles as major antagonists in the story. These are the only unconfirmed characters that the two actually spoke of by name.

-X is the main character of the story mode for the Capcom side, and yes, he does have a voice actor. No names have been given for his English VA, but his Japanese VA is Takahiro Sakurai, his VA from X8 and Project X Zone 1 & 2.

The last thing I was allowed to ask them was in regards to the DLC and how they planned to handle the 6 initial DLC characters. They then confirmed that all the DLC characters would be coming out with two at a time, all of them planned for release before 2018. The first two DLC characters (Who we've already confirmed is Sigma and Venom (Edit: This was a misinterpretation of information. The actual first Marvel DLC character is Black Panther as of 12/06/17. This was not meant to be a confirmation that Venom was coming)) are set to release in early October with the other four following suit. Surprisingly, none of the DLC characters are actually complete at this point, the most a majority of them have so far is a model (which will be used in the story mode).
As for future DLC plans, it's apparently all up in the air. They definitely plan to have some details by the end of the year, but they've confirmed one thing...it will not be split into seasons like SFV. They claimed that the most likely option they're going to go with is themed character packs. They didn't say how frequent they would come out, but they really want to get out as many characters as they can by the end of 2018, especially since the SFV team apparently has some really big plans for 2018 and they need to compete for attention.

And that's it. Despite what happened with Ryce's leaks, the team is still trying to keep information on the roster a secret. Makes me wonder if it's possible that there's more to the roster than Ryce is letting on? Sadly, I can't confirm that, but I can definitely let you all know that they've already got their plans set for 2017. Expect alot at E3.

Hey all, I'm here to make an update to this post in regards to the information we received over the past few days. Didn't have a chance to do so until now thanks to work, but I managed to get back in touch with my friends at Capcom USA.

It turns out that while they said that Ryce has never fully told the truth (which has been proven correct thanks to recent asset folders discovered in the game demo: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DCPlCgVXYAAWB98.jpg), neither have they.

They've essentially sprinkled in tiny lies to their statements as a means of keeping interesting information under wraps. For example, when talking about the Rathalos appearing in story mode, one of my friends essentially said "If I were to tell you that there was a boss fight against a giant monster from the Monster Hunter franchise, what would make you more excited? Fighting a Rathalos or fighting a Dah'ren Mohran? Obviously the Dah'ren Mohran due to the much larger scale. However, since the idea of battling a Rathalos is also cool, you also want to believe it's real and it makes sense since it's the flagship monster of the franchise."

Other than the Rathalos statement, they claimed that one more piece of information was false, but the thing is that they never told me what it was, only that I'll be happy it's false when we actually see it in game. I have no idea what that could be alluding to, but I do have one more piece of information to pass on.

The next time we're getting information on Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is apparently EVO, although they've mentioned that there may be plans to skip EVO reveals and drop them all at the San Diego Comic Con. They promised me that by July the 12th that they'll have more information regarding the story for me, and that it involves a specific character that alot of people have been waiting for. See you all in July!

Liars LOVE to spout shit like this. Everyone on the planet is expecting news at Evo or Comic-Con, but when the time comes, this guy will act like he made a difficult prediction that proves his legitimacy.

I also died at "btw my source totally mentioned Rathalos AND Dah'ren Mohran, but I'm only mentioning Dah'ren Mohran now that it's already been mentioned in the file leak." This is Compulsive Lying 101.
 
Couldn't we for the moment say this is fake to begin with since he said Thanos was a major antagonist and in fact, it looks like Thanos is going to be working with the team to stop Ultron Sigma?


Oh and the guy should have went further and said the reason why we have an unequal balance of Marvel and Capcom reveals is Marvel wouldn't allow both sides to be equal :P
 
People really feel the need to "leak" stuff about this game. Capcom has never had this many leaks. So far the only "leak" that has panned out is Ryce's roster.

Nah, MvC3 Vanilla had 2x as many "leaks". Fakers were coming out of left and right. It even got so far that once one person was found to be legit, several people started making accounts with that person's name in other places to pretend to be him so they could fake.

Yes, so much this. Any leak is obviously fake when it tries too hard to sound interesting. Real leaks are usually just blanket list drops. I've been around for the pre-release of every fighter for the last 10 years, and I can't recall a single leak that was more than a list drop (I include Lupinko in this - he was just having fun with dropping his list).

That was back when I fell out of games during college.
 
Edit: This video is also good if people want to see some of the Dante and Iron Man changes.

@Skilletor: this match demonstrates the kind of thing I'm talking about in MvCi:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPu5WjoSSMU

At 2:20 Dr. Strange does his pillar hyper and tags into Dante. Dante teleports and does Hammer - it missed, but the player does it with such certainty that I imagine it can connect. Hammer probably causes a hard knockdown here like it does in MvC3, allowing you to get a full combo off of Dr. Strange's pillar at any time. That's a synergy that only a handful of characters will possess, so already if you're looking to team up Dr. Strange with someone, Dante is in a high position of consideration, and choosing a lot of other characters means losing synergy.

I feel you.
 
Dante's vast amount of tools makes it so that he is playable with a lot of characters. Dante was BFF with so many characters in Marvel 3 and it wasn't just because of the assist either sometimes.
 
Big Marvel heads like Kinderparty, Sumbrownkid discussing their thoughts on the Marvel Infinite VS demo:

https://youtu.be/Psib6bYlQt0?t=59m48s

"This is the most disrespectful Marvel game ever!"


Kinderparty goes over really eloquently how the Tag system fundamentally changes the game and uses Ryu as an example. Ryu still sucks tho and you can just use Captain America instead LOL!
 
I got to play the game at CEO.

Believe me, the demo we got is nothing compared to the E3 demo, which, according to the Capcom people that were running the setups, is 3 months old.

Game is tons of fun and insanely freeform and creative.
 
WOAH...

KinderParty says that the Power Stone storm mode negates enemy advancing guard...

Finally some use for that gem because that was looking like the weakest so far.

He sounds just as bad too. They really fucked him up, he was basically a goat fighting game character in 3 and now he'll be embarrassing to watch onscreen.
 
The dumbest part of that bull shit story is that it doesn't even say anything new or interesting outside of "there is a character in the starting roster not in the story". We already knew about no xmen and while the story of why sigma is dlc is funny, it's not very likely. Even if it was true it doesn't change anything about the content of the game.
 
The first point in that bullshit ass leak is him trying to make mental gymnastics about a publisher spreading fake, underwhelming information about the game for the sake of surprise instead of considering the ramifications that could have on the PR cycle and people's general excitement going from event-to-event, and people turning a blind eye to the game and never looking back.

Definitely written by some 14 year old who thinks a PR department would risk some shit like that.

I wouldn't say "never" since there are few leaks that actually came with insights tho. It's just very rare.
 
Seeing that the zip file leak was created 3-4 months ago, and correct me if I'm wrong here, could mean there's even more possible characters in the game.
 
This is entirely meaningless, but if you take the grunts and giant bosses out of the file leak roster, you get 18 Capcom and Marvel characters who pair up fairly well with each other as rivals or partners.

  • Dante & Ghost Rider (hellbound antiheroes)
  • Hunter & Black Panther (expert trackers with tribal aesthetics; fused Valkanda stage)
  • Strider Hiryu & Gamora (space ninjas; fused Knowmoon stage)
  • Spencer & Winter Soldier (soldiers with bionic arms)
  • Zero & Nova (cocky cosmic heroes)
  • Firebrand & Hawkeye (I'm not sure, but they fought in the UMvC3 opening... annoying C-list zoners, maybe?)
  • Sigma & Ultron (evil misanthropic robots)
  • Grandmaster Meio & Thanos (godlike cosmic villains)
  • Nemesis & Venom (transformed into grotesque monsters; I'm thinking they'll share a stage)
  • Jedah & Dormammu (evil dimensional rulers; I'm thinking they'll share a stage)

I don't think anyone is paired up with just one other character in the story -- I'm sure there will be fights and cutscenes where X and Captain America are paired up with other characters. X and Iron Man appear together in promotional artwork, and they're paired together as action figures.

I have a feeling the rest of the cast will be unveiled at once with the next Story Trailer which will probably focus on the last two stones.

August will be modes trailers and DLC announcements and stuff.

Couldn't Dormammu and friends just be a "Doc Ock" here? The files are there, but the playable character isn't in the game.

I still can't believe no one else has looked at those files and produced a model to look at.

Can you even do that on PS4 or X1?

Also, it's not necessarily from the story demo we got (the files appear uncompressed so it's probably just from a general build of the whole game), just lines up well with what we saw in the story trailer although I wouldn't be if typical lazy Capcom left those files in.

It's possible, but I can't imagine Dormammu would be cut for technical reasons like Doc Ock when he worked just fine in a more demanding 3v3 game.

I definitely think the roster is bigger than 28 characters, 32-34 I think. No way are the gonna sell characters like Haggar is DLC in 2018.

I think the roster is great, except for the lack of female representation. That shit is sad

Can you even do that on PS4 or X1?

Also, it's not necessarily from the story demo we got (the files appear uncompressed so it's probably just from a general build of the whole game), just lines up well with what we saw in the story trailer although I wouldn't be if typical lazy Capcom left those files in.

I just can't stop feeling suspicious about the zip leak - aside from its predictive power, we know absolutely nothing about where it came from, how the info was acquired, what's in the files, etc. The lack of reproduction has me disconcerted.

I thought Ock was time constraints.
