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

Would like to see Cyclops make a return. It's been TOO long. :(

I'm hoping the polls heavily influence the roster choices for the Capcom side. With Mega Man X, that may be likely. The poll results are actually really good.
 
I don't remember seeing this much support for BoF Ryu when MvC3 was being teased. I'm down though, I've always wanted Ryu represented. Didn't he make an appearance as a card in Heroes vs Heralds?
 
For the record, here is the post-launch UMvC3 DLC top 10 wishlist results from Capcom-Unity:

MARVEL TOP 10

1. Gambit (615)
2. Venom (561)
3. Ms. Marvel (447)
4. Cyclops (294)
5. Psylocke (268)
6. Green Goblin (236)
7. Black Panther (204)
8. Carnage (202)
9. Anti-Venom (191)
10. Squirrel Girl (168)

CAPCOM TOP 10

1. Mega Man X (1075)
2. Gene (647)
3. Classic Mega Man (263)
4. Jin Saotome (197)
5. Jon Talbain (195)
6. Captain Commando (192)
7. Masamune Date (144)
8. M. Bison (137)
9. Megaman.EXE (118)
10. Jedah (108) / Bass.EXE (108)
 
Gene
Jin Saotome
Jon Talbain
Captain Commando
Masamune Date
Jedah
Bass.EXE

I'd be happy if more than one of these guys from the post-UMvC Capcom-Unity poll made it in.

EDIT: Especially pipe dream Date.


 
Get ready for the Captain Storm Lvl 3 Hyper Combo.

I'd like to see him back, but I'm doubting it. If he doesn't.. He'd be perfect for DLC.

Breath of Fire had 5 cards total.

I'm still salty. Dino Crisis didn't even get one. Still feels it's because at capcom there is no face or team for that franchise. It was Mikamis game, then Shu Takumi, then the Dino Crisis 3 directors were a shared joint. After 3 I feel like all of of groups related to the game disbanded. Which is why we rarely see it ever represented. unlike a lot of smaller IPs that get shown a lot, that still have some sort of face or group to them.

Wow, I'd never realized the entire series was represented in those cards:

Ryu (BoF1)
Fou-Lu (BoF4)
Lin (DQ)
Myria (BoF3)
Nina (BoF2)

That's so cool. I'd also forgotten all about the Myria and Lin cards.
 
For the record, here is the post-launch UMvC3 DLC top 10 wishlist results from Capcom-Unity:
Now I feel pretty good about Green Goblin's chances. Then again, Marvel cares more about promoting the next big MCU movie or show than they do about fan demand. If the two align, then the latter would likely be icing on the cake for Marvel.
 
One incredibly unlikely rep that would make for one of those "what the fuck" kind of inclusions I'd love to see personally is a Killer7 rep. I have no idea how they'd manage to make that work, but I have a feeling if they go with any character at all it'd be Dan
Smith.

He's by far the most popular character from that game. Several moves I can see them making out of him include Double/Triple Tap, his counter move, maybe a Frank West-styled attack where he tosses an exploding Heaven Smile onto the opponent and perhaps some of the rings like Fire, Water and Wind can be used as projectiles. His signature Demon Revolver could be charged up (possibly with your own meter just like Killer7 uses thin blood) to perform a Collateral Shot that can be stored, similar to Zero's buster. For his supers he could transform into the other Smiths. MASK de Smith, for instance, could be a Level 1 and fire his Shock and Focus Shells in quick succession, followed by his missile barrage from the ultimate outfit. Perhaps a more gimmicky Level 1 could be Scanning which allows Dan's gun attacks to perform boosted damage similar to how Killer7's critical lock-on performs instant kills. Level 3 ought to be transforming into Harman Smith and using his anti-tank rifle, firing a single straight shot. 460,000 unscaled damage perhaps? When Dan Smith is defeated he could also explode in a bunch of red particles similar to what happens when you change a persona in Killer7. At least, that's how I'd imagine a K7 rep in any way to work.
 
I don't think Regina was in Street Fighter x All Capcom either.
The only capcom developed games where it had a "crossover" was Resident Evil 3 as a costume and Dead Rising 3 All Stars DLC once again as a costume.

Couldn't even get into Onimusha Souls F2P either

I never count Namco X Capcom since it was developed by monolithsoft. So capcom played more a "yeah that looks fine" role.

Like I said, I think it's because there's no team or face for Dino Crisis at capcom. So when crossover stuff is happening everyone forgets about it. Shu would be the closest thing, but he's considered the Ace Attorney guy who dabbled in Dino Crisis more than anything.

Y'all better prepare for the Vulture's inclusion, yo.

You forget they likely have a multi year-long post-release content plan.
 
I'm also not really banking on Vulture being a second Spidey-rep. Falcon seems to be the most likely if we're talking a guy with wings. I'm still expecting it to be Venom since he has the potential for an incredibly unique moveset, and he was one of the more requested characters for UMvC3.
 
That's pretty sad.

It is pretty sad. I mean, Gene wasn't in it either but at least he was a card in H&H for UMvC3.

And that was one of the awesome things about RE3, getting that outfit to use. At least she did get into that DLC for DR3, which I loved.

Which reminds me, they used X4 Sigma which gives me hopes for Sigma in Infinite. :P

Which reminds me, did she pop up in Project x Zone? No, right?

Nope. I've played both and she never even gets referenced. But then again a lot of characters from NxC haven't returned to PxZ. Like the soul calibur characters
 
I've been thinking about which SF chars id like to see and I have to say I'm now hoping we get Dhalsim in this game. He was always really fucking fun to play in the older games. His mobility in Vs games was godlike.

We need to be heard, Heath! We have to keep the dream alive!

I'm talking about us getting two representatives in one fighting game. There is no way that it would happens but I'm not giving up a dream for one BOF character to be playable in a fighting game. That meant we really need to tweet to Ono and Combofiend to push our agenda. ;P

Fightings are more popular than action games atm. We haven't seen a pure action title in a good while now.

Really? I thought there are some action titles coming out lately? Like Dark Soul 3 and Mirror Edge but I just realized that Adventure and Actions kinda shared a lot of similarities but can be different in their own way.

How does this logic make sense when we got Arthur, Amaterasu, and Viewtiful Joe in MvC3? :P

Ssssh, my boy. Let me basking in an aura of pessimism.

I don't know exactly how it would work, but I think it'd be super rad if the Killer7 was just one character and it would swap between them in different stances or moves.

Maybe something super weird like each normal is a different character like Double from Skullgirls or something.
 
It would be awesome to get Miles Morales as a Spider-Man with a different moveset, but I doubt that'll happen. We should get him as an alt skin though, right?

This was my second thought really. I think it'd be incredibly resource intensive really but if they can make something like that'd work it'd be pretty incredible.

Spidey has so many alt. possibilities, Spider-Verse makes it even crazier...I think that actually lowers Miles' chances because he's pretty much a different character so he'd be better off as his own character, yet too similar that they would probably pick someone else over him.

Since you had distinguished the adventure and action genres from each other in your initial post I thought you were talking about pure action games like DMC, Bayo, NG, etc. Souls series and Mirrors Edge and other stuff while definitely can be counted among the general action genre are more of hybrid titles that are focused on delivering different kind of experiences than the after-mentioned pure/more focused action games.

Unfortunately that kind of action titles have been on a decline as of late.

They could have Miles, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Mary Jane, Mayday Parker, Scarlet Spider, etc. work like the Dolls in SFV, where they play like Cammy but have one or two unique moves.

Parker should be normal Spidey, and Miles could be a chameleon/trap type character.

I really want them both in, but I'm sure Miles' suit will just be an alt.
 
I'm thinking since Miles get the most push out of Alt Spidey's, he might has a good chance being a dlc character. Probably way down the road though.

Could work in what's sure to be a story of dimensional fuckery

I hope Spidey has a quip about the rumors of his death being exaggerated, ya know, cause MVC spidey was killed in the comics.

Would be kinda neat lore-wise to have Morlun playable. Though there are many better characters imo. I do hope they take the death of MvC Spidey into account somehow.

This is the best idea. I'd like to see a K7 rep as a stance character where you can switch between maybe 3 characters (Dan, Mask, and someone else) with the remaining Smiths appearing in Supers. Of course, that's a lot of work for a character from a pretty obscure Capcom title. Plus there would be no slashing wrists or constantly shouting "Fuck you!" that one would expect from a Killer 7 character.
