Hype!!! I'm gene or asura right guys?
I feel like it's a character who would be pretty damn difficult to animate. But I suppose animating them faithfully could also count.

I'd only accept Jedah/Pyron.
boy if you don't get
but anyway imma guess and say that this is about a character that don't fight in their source material like Ace Attorney or Ghost Trick or someone outlandish like The Smith Syndicate from killer7
Edit: or a Darkstalkers character that hasn't been in the series yet.
Or, as TroubledBat suggested above, a hard-to-animate character from, say, Darkstalkers.
EDIT: Oh, you noted that.
I really hope that Capcom doesn't wait too long. The wait for more Injustice 2 info is already starting to get to me, I don't want to go through the same thing for Mahvel.
Those are good choices for shapeshifting / hard to animate. But I'd also throw Lord Raptor a bone too
The possible issue with Jedah is that he may be a bit too bloody for Mahvel, especially if Marvel, Capcom, Disney, & ESPN are gonna go all-in with eSports.

Regina's hair would be hard to animate
Jedah has the whole squicky gore-porn thing that someone mentioned earlier that likely would disqualify him, unless they're going to remake his entire shtick from the ground up.
Pyron would definitely be nice to see, though, as his animations are amazing AND we'd get Nobuyuki Hiyama's voice in a fighting game again. He'd also be a nice foil for whatever "cosmic" level Marvel rep(s) we may get.
I'd also accept Donovan, just for the sake that I always liked the guy, and that we'll never get a satisfying conclusion to his story arc played out in an actual Vampire sequel.
Though, I'd still take Talbain over him.
So is Regina the new Snake? Obviously she's your avatar, so I'm not surprised about your enthusiasm for her, but still.

When it comes to Darkstalkers, I wanna see some characters who don't usually get the spotlight. More or less, if they've been in Project X Zone 1 or 2, skip em. Too bad Morrigan already broke that.
There's two things I want more than anything.
A new Dino Crisis
Snake in Smash
Regina being in MVCI would be a nice, since then I could finally have some new art and more exposure to new people for the series.
Don't worry though, it won't get to snake levels. Since she's never been in the game, it's just wishful thinking.
Snake on the other hand gets that whole extra level due to his prior inclusion.

im hoping we get half the roster revealed in videos, the rest at release we find out how they play. Kind of like the surprise of no hidden charcters without having to unlock.
Me thinks this character is hard to animate in a 3D setting...I'm guessing it's going to be
Understandable, though I admire your dedication.

Capcom just trying to kill me here if true. Like I get it capcom, you got a lot of cool older franchises that a lot of people probably don't even remember. But please, if you're going that far back in the vault you gotta have some Dino Crisis representation. The series sold 3 million for them. I've said before, i'm still salty there wasn't even DC heroes vs heralds cards. This isn't even entirely MVCI related. I always find it odd how they just kinda skip over the series in general. Even for smaller crossovers that include some of the most random stuff from their catalog.
Regardless of that though, I was thinking the same thing though. Unless Amingo is coming back.
Speaking of that exposure it doesn't seem it really did much for any of the characters in Marvel 3 other than Strider (who got a new game in 2013). Darkstalkers, Ghosts n Goblins, Mega Man X, Mega Man Legends, Final Fight, Okami Viewtiful Joe, and Bionic Commando all had characters in 3 and have been dormant since then. Not to say they were bad inclusions at all, I just don't think Capcom has really done much with its older or more obscure IPs the last 5 years and that being popular in crossovers doesn't mean that they might see a new installment (otherwise we wouldn't be coming up on 2017 without a proper Devil May Cry 5).
I think the saddest case would be Haggar, it's insane that Marvel 3 is one of the only crossovers he's ever been in. He's obviously a super popular character, I don't know how he's missed the boat on both PxZ games, USF4, SFxT and SFV.

Haggar not being in Street Fighter is by far the oddest thing. Especially in SF4, where basically the entire gang is there but him. They definitely need to fix that with SFV. But if they do, he'll probably be a lone wolf for a while in that roster.
As for your first point, yeah I was a bit sad with how MVC3 representation went. All the smaller IPs like you said got nothing out of it but Strider. Hoping that what newcomers from smaller IPs show up have more to gain from their inclusion. Even if some of them are just new rereleases of their older games.

Damn it. So many different possibilities going through my mind now.
I still got a feeling that Haggar will eventually make it in SFV. But I marking out when he was revealed in Marvel 3.
To be fair, Zangief could be attributed as the reason for no Hagar in SFIV, xT, & V (thus far).
That makes sense (and he's probably more recognizable tbh) but I don't know, it's still weird how such a fan-favorite gets snubbed so consistently, especially in games like V where Gief is almost completely inconsequential to the story.

Shiiiiiiiieeeeeet I wanna know. My first thought is Sissel. Someone without a corporeal form would definitely be difficult to implement.

We already had Sissel though

Agreed, though you at least need some classic characters in the SFV roster. Hell, people are complaining that there aren't enough World Warriors.
Jawmuncher is as devoted to Dino Crisis as you are to telling people that the X-Men will be DLC.
You got me there, my friend.

Lord Raptor Lord Raptor Lord Raptor pleeeaaaaase.
Street Fighter V underperformed because it didn't have Blanka. It's, like, science and stuff. Street Fighter games with Blanka on average outperform Street Fighter games without Blanka. I am, of course, half-joking about that, but still... Blanka games are pretty popular.
As for hard to animate, I'd love to see Pyron in 3D. His animations range from somewhere between NOPE! and impossible in translating to 3D, so if they could pull him off... that would be amazing. At least they can get some physics help with having his flames respond to movement now.
I would say Blanka is more iconic than popular, at least going off of the SF Character Poll.

Can you tell us the series at least?
Surprising, awesome and sick ....
So it is obviously Boogerman considering his snot comes from disease and he is surprising since he is not a capcom character and awesome because he is the boogerman, right ?
Like a shot-in-the-arm for MahvelGAF.
Well, at least in some cases, the absences and gaps in the last few years made sense. For example, there couldn't be a "Devil May Cry 5", when Capcom was marketing DmC at around the same time (and as we found out, how well/poorly DmC performed would have affected the brand's long-term future). Conversely, Classic Dante and crew were put into 3 because Neo_G and other members of the dev team were fans and specifically requested those characters.
With Capcom having loose talk about how they're going to start leveraging their IPs again, a game like Infinite may be more indicative of what we stand to see in the next five years. There's a number of hints that point to a new DMC coming. I also wouldn't be surprised if something like Mega Man X was a possibility for long term plans, possibly on a separate tangent from what the new toon and mobile game are aiming for.

Probably not since for certain seriest it might make the pick too obvious like God Hand for example

I'm guessing it's Sissel from Ghost Trick.
I mean, he wouldn't be THAT hard to animate, but he would be surprising.

The twist is that it's gonna be "sissel", if you know what im saying.

Something tells me capcom if they brought back gt for a cross over fighter wouldn't use sissel like that his iconic look is what we'd see.
The problem with trying to figure this out is that we can basically go nuts with any kind of speculation that falls under "hard to animate."
For example, it's Regina and she's based off of MvC2 Jill and summons dinosaurs as helpers.
As for me, I'm going to hype myself for inevitable disappointment by saying it's Harman Smith, and he cycles through all the Smiths for specials.

I tried to think of characters that were often looked at as a chore to animate.
Jedah was the first that came to mind. I started thinking about Jin and his Cyberbot as well. Damn it, Ryce.

There are quiet a few capcom characters who've only been in 2d sprites that would require a lot of work to make look good in 3d. Half the darkstalkers alone would be hard to make look good in 3d.
That's why my mind is stuck on a new Darkstalkers rep.
Would Dimitri be considered "hard to animate" without Midnight Bliss? Otherwise he or Talbain seem like the most obvious candidates for a second Darkstalkers rep.
If it is Darkstalkers, and one that would be a challenge to animate, then I'll go with Pyron or Lord Raptor. I'm not super convinced, though, since I'm not sure there's going to be anyone beside Morrigan.

As in "Heathcliff"
It's probably going to be Darkstalker or Asura.
That's why I always appreciate Versus franchise for bringing some characters from old franchises into the battles.

Even someone as simple as Venom would be hard to make in 3d
You know what would be REALLY hard to animate?
Chun Li from Pocket Fighter. All those transformations would need a new model
I mean, Asura would be cool, but he wouldn't necessarily be hard to animate. In addition, Asura wouldn't be that surprising.
