Support NeoGAF

[Choppasmith]

You know what would be awesome is that each character has a "pair" that they associate with and could perform unique moves only with that character. Obviously you can't make it too good, but it's an idea to add variety.

I remember my mind being blown when you picked Ryu/Ken in X-Men vs Street Fighter, Ken can do a Shinku Hadoken, but ONLY when paired with Ryu. I think this was the only instance of an unique pairing.

I honestly didn't know about this until I watched a super compilation video a few days ago. No joke! You can do it in MSH vs SF too.

But anyway, having special supers for certain characters would be neat. SNK did something like that for NeoGeo Battle Coliseum. The inputs and requirements were crazy as I recall (you had to land certain moves or something like that first)

I too made a roster:

The original plan was to have the same number of characters of UMvC3 with half of the cast returning. Once I realized no reasonable Capcom roster would actually satisfy me I stopped myself at 6 extra characters, without any thought given to the 3 Marvel ones. I made a point to have 3 villains on both sides though.
I actually want like 7 characters out of these!


Pretty sure that's the main reason Shuma-Gorath caught the eyes of the Japanese designers

I LOVE this roster. My only complaint would be I wish TvC/Classic Roll was on there somewhere (Yeah I know "b-but that would be FOUR Mega Man characters!"). Not only is she a fun character but she always stood out in MvC1 for having a vocal theme which I'd really like to see return in a Marvel game (and hey it's not like they can't use an English version of the theme). That makes me wonder though. Giving Deadpool and X23 vocal themes in MvC3 was a nice surprise (Deadpool's is just weird), I wonder if there'll be a new character or two that'll get a vocal theme.

I don't want to see revelations Jill. I hate that damn wetsuit. It's her most boring look.

I was thinking more opening of Revelations, while exploring the beach with Parker. I'd be fine with her "Lost in Nightmares" look.

 

[Neoxon]

I started making this roster pre-DLC rumors
Juri is more interesting than Akuma. And Jedah works better as Thanos's counterpart (they have very similar colors even!).

But at the same time, Wesker is a fan-favorite from one of Capcom's biggest franchises. RE is definitely gonna have more than 1 rep.

 

[TheDinoman]

I'd love to have Wesker back, but hasn't he been dead since 2009? They might not view him as important anymore.

I'm telling you, special character specific supers would be awesome. In a game like this, you could have so much fun with character specific stuff.

Plus, in this age of youtube, you'd have tons of "MvC Infinite Super Compilations". easy advertising right there.

it certainly works for MK with their fatalities.

 

[Troubled Bat]

If we get her, do you think Jill would be in her MvC2 form, her Revelations form or RE5? Maybe a mixture of them?

I'd like to see BSAA Jill, I kinda like the design of her. Although her classic outfit needs to be in.

 

[christiankid7]

If Wesker somehow doesn't return, who would be the RE villain representative? Or would we not have one?

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Ditch Wesker, replace him with Wesker.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

If it isn't Wesker, the only other one I could see is Alexia.

Maybe Birkin? Resident Evil 2 Remake is in development, so they might use reps from that. I doubt it'd be Saddler from 4, since he's not popular. Krauser? His arm is cool and looks like a good weapon in a fighting game. I don't see it, though.

But honestly, if it ain't Wesker, I don't want anyone else.

Yeah that look I'm cool with.

I feel like Wesker has a high chance of returning. He's a fan favorite, adds a villain to capcoms side, and while dead in the lore is still affecting the series.

Apparently the villain in Vendetta might be a clone or something of Wesker. Even if not, you have Jake who is his son stuck on his shadow. Along with the character recently being in Umbrella Corps. Plus I'm sure he'll be popping up in RE7 in some form.

Alexia would be cool. Get a female, villain, and bow all in one. Though they'd have to tone her down. Since her fire blood probably wouldn't fly with marvel.

 

[Negaduck]

S.T.A.R.S Jill or bust.


I really dislike squirrel girl. Not sure why to be honest. Maybe the fact that it's a joke character that always (at least to me) seems so forced.

Or at least. Not in the starting roster. I really dont care if she were to be added as dlc.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

When thinking of villains, I try to think of how they'd fit in the context of story. Wesker makes the most sense when looking at it from that standpoint. A BOW like Nemesis, Tyrant, Mr. X, or Birkin would seem odd in a story.

If it were up to me, STARS Jill, Wesker, and Leon would be the RE reps. I'd be perfectly fine with those 3.

I could see the BOWs being cannon fodder in the storyline. Just a recurring fight the main villains send after your characters in the storyline but you never play as them.

But outside of the story, they'd just be playable characters

 

[Doctrine Dark]

I can see that, too.

Just imagining MVC2 Jill in this new system makes me want her even more. I really wonder if they'd be able to recreate MVC2 Jill in a 3D game with all of the call summons and stuff. I could see her lvl3 being the Tyrant call similar to how Hawkeye summons Antman.

Regina over Jill

she can summon dinos instead of zombies

 

[sixteen-bit]

Jawmuncher would approve

 

[Negaduck]

I wouldn't be entirely against this.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

No other villain tops Wesker, so instead of wasting the spot, just give it to a B.O.W.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Jawmuncher would approve

I would too.

 

[christiankid7]

I think even if Regina had the same basic summon X moveset style like MVC2 Jill, it wouldn't be exactly the same. Dinosaurs behave much differently than zombies. Which dinosaurs anyway?

 

[Troubled Bat]

Regina/MvC2 Jill dream team.

Edit: I just imagined Jill landing her counter, and switching to her teammate after the last shot of her gun...

 

[Sayad]

If Wesker somehow doesn't return, who would be the RE villain representative? Or would we not have one?

An RE1 Tyrant.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

I always wanted to see a Regina/Jill team.

Damn that'd be awesome.

 

[vg260]

I'd love to have Wesker back, but hasn't he been dead since 2009? They might not view him as important anymore.

Yeah, I could see him sitting out the base roster. People call him a fan-favorite, but you could call almost the whole cast fan-favorites. If they kept all the fan-favorites, the roster would never change. It made sense in MvC3 finally getting a few RE reps for the first time, but there's a lot of competition there now. The biggest thing going for him is that he's a villain.

When thinking of villains, I try to think of how they'd fit in the context of story. Wesker makes the most sense when looking at it from that standpoint. A BOW like Nemesis, Tyrant, Mr. X, or Birkin would seem odd in a story.

It think it depends on who the ultimate bosses are and how they write it. A bunch of otherwise big name villains may have to be relegated to lower status in the story anyway, so I don't think it really matters.

 

[Mista Koo]

I don't want Chun in this.

Reputation and fame aside, I think Akira would be a great replacement for Chun.

I LOVE this roster. My only complaint would be I wish TvC/Classic Roll was on there somewhere (Yeah I know "b-but that would be FOUR Mega Man characters!"). Not only is she a fun character but she always stood out in MvC1 for having a vocal theme which I'd really like to see return in a Marvel game (and hey it's not like they can't use an English version of the theme).

I love Kaze yo Tsutaete and I think there should be representation for all main MM series, however there are way too many characters to ever be satisfied. If it was up to me I would just remove all those Marvel characters

 

[vg260]

I don't want Chun in this.

Same. Get another female character instead. She's never been that interesting in the series.

I'd take Rose over her in a heartbeat, but I know it would never happen.

why is it a competition? both would be cool. especially when there's a deficit of women already 4-to-2 and the game's just been revealed

 

[The Right Deal]

Akira replacing Chun would be one of the biggest upgrades in video game history.

 

[vg260]

I'd take Rose and some other SF female instead, then.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Chun gets in and then no one uses her, since she still keep her charge stuff despite being in a versus game.

 

[Skab]

What if we don't get old capcom characters like Captain Commando/Jin at launch, but instead get them as the first capcom characters dlc along side the fox/xmen characters? A "classics" dlc batch, if you will.

 

[Veedot]

UMvC3 had four fun, diverse RE characters, and only one was a protagonist.

I have no problems with them on the gameplay side, and I only say protagonist going off of most peoples roster wish list's normally having more than one . I just don't have a personal attachment to most RE characters in a vs series setting, just my own personal bias. Basically I would rather see more interesting Capcom franchises get the rep treatment RE gets. But I completely understand RE's impact/popularity In capcom history, So I know they will be well represented.

 

[vg260]

What if we don't get old capcom characters like Captain Commando/Jin at launch, but instead get them as the first capcom characters dlc along side the fox/xmen characters? A "classics" dlc batch, if you will.

That's what I was thinking, and why I hope the base roster is mostly new and fresh on both sides aside form the obvious givens.

 

[Seyavesh]

it's gonna be barry as the RE protagonist pick for mvc4

(it's probably gonna be leon considering re2make)

 

[Choppasmith]

PREACH!

 

[Troubled Bat]

I'd be fine with it as long as we get them. Especially Jin! One of my most favorite characters ever.

Also the thought of having C. Viper/Captain Commando amuses me.

 

[christiankid7]

What dinosaurs/creatures would they add for Regina's moveset?

the triceratops would be an interesting one

a group of velociraptors, perhaps?

of course, the Trex

the Oviraptors that spit poison

the Pteranodons could work like Hiryu's flying options and I think Jill's crows?

T-Rex should be LVL3 attack where he would stomp on the opponent.

Velociraptor should be summonable so they could grab the opponent and gawk on their arms or body.

 

[The Right Deal]

It seems like the only way to make the Capcom DLC is to hold off on classic VS. characters for it. I wouldn't mind if they released characters in pairs that looked something like:

Wolverine and Strider
Cyclops and Captain Commando
Psylocke and Jin
Doom and Akuma

All I know is her LVL3 would have to be where she summons the Giganotosaurus, where the Giga and the enemy are blasted by the orbital laser cannon at the end.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Jawmuncher would approve

Indeed. If Regina could take that moveset easily from Jill if they don't want her going back to it.

 

[DedValve]

Ditch Wesker, replace him with Wesker.

Alex is trash so no.

Leon, Wesker, Jill (MvsC2) for the triage.

Wesker as the villain, Leon representing the action and the "second" set of heroes (Leon/Claire), and Jill representing the classics. Although MvsC2 Jill would probably be somewhat similar to Frank West.

Oh god Frank is getting his new face isn't he?

EDIT: I'd take Barry over Jill/Chris. Hell give Chris' moveset to Barry. Ada could cop some of Jills MvC3 moveset.

 

[Ryce]

I'm probably in the minority, but I dislike MvC2 Jill. She's basically an original character with a few RE references slapped on. I feel the same way about most MvC characters prior to MvC3, actually, like Mega Man, Tron, Jin, Iron Man, Magneto, Sentinel, Shuma-Gorath, and so on. '90s Capcom didn't seem to do much research.

 

[nachum00]

Because capcom has way better non-street fighter female characters that I'd rather have.

Yeah, I agree. We've been stuck with all of those deign decisions for the most part for the life of the series too.

I get what you're saying about Jill, but some of those others confuse me.

Mega Man: Faithful animations and classic MM weapon references. I'll give you Hyper Megaman seems weird and makes no sense. Rush Drill is based of Casshern's Friender Drill who Mega Man and Rush are based off of AND was originally supposed to debut in MM3. Beat Plane > Friender Jet.

Tron: Aside from King Servbot, she seems pretty faithful to her game to me.

Jin: This I'll agree with. He's basically like the VS equivalent of Captain Falcon

Iron Man/Magneto: Eh, I'm not sure what you're expecting exactly...?

Sentinel: Same as above, except I'm not sure where "Hyper Sentinel Force" comes from.

Shuma: Yeah, as people have said time and time again, Capcom just loved the idea of making a character out of an Alien Squid/Octopus thing and not much else.

 

[christiankid7]

Now that I think about it, what the heck would Shuma do in the story? Woo Hsien-Ko?

Taken seriously, he's a really powerful being.

 

[tribal24]

Chun gets in and then no one uses her, since she still keep her charge stuff despite being in a versus game.

i used her all the time! she is on one of my main teams in mvc 3. If it does allow another character from SFV like Rashid i be for replacing her. Doing a trade off for chun for juri or viper wouldn't make sense though.
