PS4 is what I'll be getting it on.
When I can get myself an actual gaming PC... Definitely getting it there. The mods are going to be amazing.
You know damn well we're going to DC characters. Lol

I'm just waiting for the Steam release cuz I don' fuck with current gen consoles.
Hopefully there's a good mod community. Maybe we'll get Magneto's alt finally.

Ps4 for now and maybe pc down the road when I finally make a gaming pc (probably 2 years away want to finish college first)
The Marvel/Capcom fusion feels a lot more fitting as the final boss of a Marvel/Capcom crossover game than the Marvel villain by himself. Ultron/Sigma being some sort of sub-boss and Thanos being the real final boss would be anti-climatic as hell IMO.
Flip the two, Thanos sub-boss and the mix the main boss, and I'd be happy.
Yeah, perhaps. Depends on execution really.
There's no way they're going to reveal the final boss in the first trailer. It's Capcom. I'd be surprised if it ended up being Ultron/Sigma.
What did he mean by this?

Thanos x Pyro could work, even if it is just Thanos on fire. Maybe with bigger horns.
As much as I would love that, they're probably gonna go with his MCU design.

I think when it comes to reveals, they'll happen at around the same time as the MCU films, like a reveal for Star Lord and Rocket Raccoon to coincide with the release of GOTG2 in April, Spiderman reveal to coincide with Homecoming in July, etc. They also have PAX Events, GDC, E3, D23 (Disney's expo in July), and SDCC (also in July) to have reveals.
The reason why I think they'll go with the reveals coinciding with the films approach is that they could maybe have that reveal shown before every screening of the corresponding MCU film (ex. Star Lord reveal trailer before every GOTG2 screening), and that would be a simple and clever way to market the game to a very broad audience, while, probably, not costing a whole lot because it's a Marvel game, rather than a random third-party game (like TLG before Fantastic Beasts).
I think those out of the blue reveals would be of characters who don't have an upcoming MCU film to have their reveals coincide with (i.e Hulk, Ms. Marvel, etc). I think a reveal coinciding with a film, or a game, would be too good of an opportunity for Capcom and Marvel Games to pass up.
Eh, they already have Taskmaster who is presumably imitating his style with his swordplay, and mentions as such in one of his supers. But then again they later added Hawkguy anyways.

I remember in SNK Vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium, you had to fight Bison/Geese before fighting Evil Ryu or Orochi Iori as the final boss. In Infinite, I see it being similar, only Ultron and Sigma would merge for the final battle.
Having said that, Thanos being the mid-boss or final boss would be perfectly fine with me. Really excited with how they're going to handle this.

Hulk has Thor: Ragnarok, but it maybe too close to MvCI's launch.
Actually, I brought up the idea of advertising MvCI in front of MCU films & shows a while back.

I don't think they'll advertise in front of films, but shows are most definitely a possibility.
Just imagine an Agents of SHIELD episode where Fitz and Mack are just clowning around, playing as Thor vs Hulk in a build of the game when Coulson comes up, makes a comment about Thor's hammer not looking that cool in real life or something then moving forward with the plot.
I mean, it just makes so much sense to include Thanos, in some shape or fashion. He's going to appear more in the flicks in the near future, so it just makes sense that Marvel would likely push for him to be in.
I do definitely foresee him doing the "Hijack by Ganon" trope, though. Sigma and Ultron will likely be the main instigators of the plot, and then Thanos just comes in with his "Alright, I'll do it, myself~!" self to collect the Infinity Gems once Sigma and Ultron + the Heroes already did the hard work for him.

Yeah, Thanos is 100% for sure. That scenario you mentioned would be welcomed with open arms, too. I want to fight an incredibly difficult Thanos with the Gems. I miss the days of fighting a final boss that made me seriously consider giving up. Seth was the last Capcom boss that did that for me, but he became dull after figuring out his pattern. Galactus wasn't hard at all.
In the SFV story, Ryu ended up fighting Bison for the final battle. I'd like to see how something like this would work in Infinite. Damn, the possibilities are endless.

Depends on how many characters we get this time around, because we also get multiple pairings at some of the bigger events. Most likely though, yeah, I agree.
I'm expecting Wesker in January.
I'm not 100% convinced on Thanos. Wasn't there something about the heroes teaming up to fight "a new threat" around the first announcement?
Plus an Ultron/Sigma hybrid is both a way to have a final boss from both universes as well as do something cool with the crossover concept. And unless I'm mistaken it was said somewhere that X was going to be heavily involved with the plot.
I'm thinking/hoping Thanos gets saved for a sequel, and both Ultron and Sigma are playable characters.

There's definitely a chance that Thanos won't make it. I'm on the other end where I'm not convinced at all that Ultron/Sigma are the final bosses. Though they're definitely both playable.
In regards to a sequel, that'sprobably going to be half a decade away or more. There'd be no reason to even push Thanos at that point. Now is the right time for marketing purposes. Ultron serves no real purpose in business-wise after Avengers 2 had already passed.
That guy they showed off at the end definitely had elements of both Ultron and Sigma, right? What's the point of them fusing together if they're not even going to be the final boss?
I guess it's possible that that was just Sigma, though.
What was the point of having Dormammu showing up at the end of the first MvC3 cinematic? Came out a flaming tornado that opened up a portal in the sky.
I mean, I think there's a difference between one character doing something in a trailer and a fusion between two popular villains and doing nothing of note with it because of some big purple guy.
Yeah, I'm just not convinced. Based on current Marvel focus--the story will probably be cosmic centered. Ultron as a big bad doesn't really fit that narrative.
I mean, if we got no glimpse of Mysterious Two Faced Robot Guy at the end then I'd say with absolute certainty that the final boss would be Thanos, both because of the Gem mechanic and with Infinity War on the horizon (which, basically, is why Dormammu and Rocket Raccoon got into MvC3; because they had movies on the way).
If it turns out MTFRG was just Sigma, then yeah, it's gonna be Thanos, but Ultron/Sigma would fit this game for a lot of reasons.
I suppose we'll just have to wait. It's all conjecture at this point.
I still doubt Ultron/Sigma being the final bosses, but I'm not opposed to it.

Regina is the final boss.
She combined the two universes through third energy, to try and see if perhaps marvel would treat her better. But then decided she'll just take it out on both of them.

It's a shame she'll be the final boss but not playable

That combination would almost make it worth her not being playable for that finale.

I'll be fine as long as Team Trenchcoat (Dante, Vergil, Wesker) returns.
I'd love for Asura and the protagonist of Dragons Dogma to be in though, along with some Power Stone characters.

Ultron Sigma fusion boss would be cool. Maybe sub boss. Followed by a bigger more final badguy for each side depending on who you chose. Thanos and like... Mega Bison or something lol.

It should be noted, Ultron had a rather good run as a cosmic villain in Annihilation: Conquest, where he controlled the Phalanx... wouldn't be too much of a stretch to merge elements of that with the Signa virus. The comic miniseries Age of Ultron storyline also dealt with time travel and alternate timelines. That's two pretty noteworthy events in the last decade that were very broad in scope.
I think writing Ultron off just because he isn't usually tied to the Infinity gems is a mistake. He's an extremely popular and extremely versatile Avengers villain.
I do genuinely think we'll see Ultron and Sigma playable, and the tag-team duo will be phase one of the final boss before they merge. The only problem is, given the prominence of the Infinity Gems and the direction of the MCU, it will be REALLY weird for Thanos to not be the big bad in the end... which he could be, but it would kind of undermine the uniqueness and threat of the Marvel/Capcom villain combo.

Perhaps Thanos isn't a bad guy but a hero in the plot. He was a member of the Infinity Watch, who were guardians of the Infinity Gems. It could be that Ultron and Sigma stole the Gems and Thanos is recruiting people and trying to get them back. If you play through the game as him, you might even get an ending where he does the Thanos things once he acquires the Gems, perhaps.

This video reminded me how amazingly creepy the train stage was. I wish they'd resurrect it for this game.

You know, while I don't want him, since I hate fighting him, its kind of weird that no one ever wants Bishamon. I mean, I get that people might think that Victor is too silly, and Sasquatch is too dopey or Rikuo is too strangely attractive, but like I'd think more people would request Bishamon.
Still, you know its sort of a shame that Victor will never make it through. His moveset's pretty cool. Maybe one of the strength based Marvel characters could borrow some of his moves.
Being in one miniseries for a villain doesn't make him a cosmic villain imo, it would be like calling Iron Man a cosmic hero for his run in the guardians. They could draw inspiration from from that storyline I suppose (which I doubt because it's going to be infinity gem focused, the costume would be rad as hell though). When I think of cosmic villains, it's Thanos, Annihilus, Ronan, the Skrulls, Terrax, etc. It just seems random to me to make Ultron the big boss at this point in time.
However, as said previous--I'm not opposed to it. I just doubt it. And the fact that he shows up in the first trailer, Sigma fusion or not has me skeptical. It's a teaser, not necessarily for the big bad.

Ultron and Sigma would be good character reveals as villain foils to MegaMan and Iron Man. I hope they aren't fused into a boss. I especially hope that the boss would be a lot cooler than that and also revealed a lot later (Like earlier mentioned in the thread)

You know it's funny, cause Annihilus didn't start as a cosmic villain. He has been established as one after Annihilation, and has stayed around, but he originally was a straight Fantastic Four baddie.
Yeah definitely. I also like the castle interior stages, but Tower of Arrogance and Iron Horse are definitely my favourites.
I think it would be fine for them to be perfectly playable as separate characters, but the "Combiners" form is strictly a NPC boss.
And again, even if "Sigmatron" is a thing, I have no confidence that he/they are going to be the Big Bad. They'll likely have a good battle and then quickly get upstaged by Thanos (and his partner, if applicable).
