I like Nero more than Vergil, so fine by me.
Sissel was another character I really wanted pre-MvC3. I still think he'd be super cool. The way I envision his moveset is that for every attack, a random everyday object appears on screen which he possesses to "attack" with. I.e. a bike rolling forward, causing a ball to drop from above, a door swinging open, etc. Would probably be work intensive though so chances are he'd either be less complex, or he wouldn't be in the game at all 
Today, I just want Cloak & Dagger:
Cloak and Dagger would be a single unit. You can't have one without the other, y'know.
Cloak would float behind Dagger, perhaps coming forward when blocking and teleporting. Strings could switch between Cloak and Dagger as they progress. Projectile attacks would rely on Dagger. If they wanted to go simple, they'd basically be one character, but they could go more complex, with properties of moves depending on the character in front or have them work as a "puppet" character.

You... you're alright.
A Cloak and Dagger combo character is up there with Machine Man or Man Thing in terms of "non-mainstream characters I desperately want"

I got a virus on my first attempt at trying out FightCade. Never again.

Also, I was thinking about stages... It'd be cool if there was a Resident Evil x Marvel Zombies stage. Lol

Nero is better than Vergil so sure why not
Who actually plays MvC2 on Japanese sticks? Never mind having that on a non-head to head setup -- it would be actually impossible to get two American players to play on that damn thing.Everyone is speculating about the new game and im just here playing MvC2
...and I actually used to go to an arcade that actually ran MvC2 on Japanese sticks, and the players hated it. Never got much support from the local community, but the owner was too stubborn/prideful to switch it out. Never was an issue for people playing other games there like CvS2 or 3S (never mind something like GG or MB).

Its marvel 2...they'd play it.
OG parts BNgames or did you pop in your own gear into that egret? Slick cab btw. All you need now is a cozy bench or some bar stools for the setup. Been trying to figure out where on earth in my new house I might have enough room to justify getting one of these cabs. Still not sure what I'd put in it either. Probably go mame since I'm indecisive.
edit:
waitaminute...
That thing says egret and atomiswave. From the speakers its definitely the atomiswave. Still piecing together the machines sticks?BNgames said:
Only if it's Ward.
probably wouldn't make for a good fighting game character, but hey
You know, it just kind of dawned on me that with REmake 2 coming, it really isn't all that out there to think we could get William Birkin as a character. That is, of course, if they're okay with adding another Nemesis style monster character.
Nemesis showing up in 3 was one of the best surprises of that games roster though, so hopefully they do it!

I'd love it if someone had them as summons in their moveset like Parasoul's soldiers or Doronjo summoning Tonzra and Boyaki. Big yellow hazmat guys would be fun to see running around for attacks. Failing that though, I could see them as a stage thing running around an A.I.M base stage.
They're actually getting their own MCU-TV show, so there's hope.Today, I just want Cloak & Dagger:

I have no idea who any of these characters y'all are requesting are, and that's pretty neat
Does Fox own the film rights to Alpha Flight? Always loved the look of Guardian/Weapon Alpha. I'm assuming they do because they were a folder on Lady Deathstrike's desktop in X2 along with Omega Red and whatever else, lol

Alpha Flight has mutants in it and they debuted in an X'men book I believe.

Well he turned into

Alpha Flight's an X-Men sub-series, so the rights are with Fox.

That's what I figured. Wasn't 100% sure it was "anything that's ever existed under the blanket of X-Men"

It essentially is. Disney can't even use the word/origin "mutant" in their films lol.

I assume the rights fall under X-Men, but then again, the Inhumans and Black Panther are evidently not part of Fantastic Four despite first showing up there. Alpha Flight also isn't that mutant heavy.
Red Arremer
Member
Alpha Flight isn't mutant heavy, but it's heavily tied to the X-Men franchise. Much like Excalibur. They're basically off-shoot teams for all intents and purposes.
The Fantastic Four license seems to be a lot more specific about what is part of the Fantastic Four and what isn't (e.g. Silver Surfer, as part of one of the most important and popular F4 stories, is part of it, while Black Panther/Inhumans aren't), while the X-Men franchise is a lot broader.

Yes please. I hope she gets in, she was my main in SFIV and I practiced her a little in UMVC3 (which means I was useless

I guess the way to lookit this is to figure up Marvel the same way you would capcom. Pick a major franchise and pick out its better representatives. Then cross it all up with a criteria of gender and different demographics for mass appeal.
Your go to folks would be mostly Avengers these days.
Cap. America, Iron man, Captain Marvel, Spiderman, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Hulk. All of those folks have their own series or have had their own series at one time so a pick of any of them is so vanilla that it may as well just be Marvel's branding and less trying to show off any particular Avenger brand. Though Spiderman is his own thing and always has been. He's a big part of marvel unto his own stories.
So not counting the normal dudes I listed I guess if I'd try to pick reps for these areas I'd go with...
Cap. America, Iron man, Captain Marvel, Spiderman, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Hulk, Ultron, Black Panther, Falcon, Vision, Winter Soldier, Medusa , Thanos, Star Lord. Adam Warlock,Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, Blade,Squirrel Girl , Kamala Khan,Wolverine, Magneto, Mystique, Magik, Daredevil, Luke Cage, The Punisher,Silver Surfer. Dr Doom. Human Torch
So if all that made it in plus the Avengers standard it'd be a LOT because thats 31 characters, but I do predict heavily that folks from this lineup would be the first grabs to represent these areas of Marvel in MVCI.
Expect a good deal of these IMO. Biggest stretches are likely the two female mutants. Mystique due to how many licenses she may end up dealing with but if she's there for a montage of bit players those faces may come as a package deal cheap and give the most bang for the buck. Could go either way, but with the right deal she could be an affordable means to cover the most history of mutants in one character. Crap shoot on Torch vs any of the other FF, but I feel Torch would go in before Sue, Reed, or Thing. Just a feeling is all.
- Avengers
- Cosmic Marvel
- Mystic Marvel
- Tween fluff comic marvel
- Mutant Marvel
- Street Crime Marvel
- FF...or whatever the hell they are. Cosmics? Family Marvel? Dunno.

- Avengers- Ultron (good villain), Black Panther, Falcon, Vision, Winter Soldier. All dudes that stepped up in MCU and who are excellent fresh faces to add to rep Avengers side.
- Cosmic Marvel- Medusa (face of Inhumans more than Black Bolt honestly), Thanos, Star Lord. Adam Warlock. (The latter two are popular and never made it in and likely big players for Infinity War)
- Mystic Marvel- Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, Blade (the rare Occult Marvel dude everyone likes)
- Tween fluff comic marvel- Squirrel Girl and Kamala Khan.( Probably the top tween demographic faces they got and well worthy of inclusion at this point.)
- Mutant Marvel- Wolverine, Magneto, Mystique, Magik. (2 classics folks crave and 2 of the most popular women in Marvel. Mystique offers cameos if included which pacifies somewhat fans of obscure reference characters. Magik is a sword user with magical whatver powers. She's perfect for MvC movesets)
- Street Crime Marvel- Daredevil, Luke Cage, The Punisher (likely the two top Netflix shows and the 3 top street Crime related characters they've ever produced)
- FF - Silver Surfer. Dr Doom. Human Torch (The most visual FF member though Sue is likely the best choice for movesets, The overlooked Cosmic Marvel megapower everyone loves, and honestly the best thing in FF...its top villain Doom)

Is this for the base roster or counting DLC? Also, why no Ant-Man or Rocket?
I remember reading on r/Kappa or somewhere else on reddit that Yipes said MvCI would have its own league (on Marvel Lives show). I was doubtful but not anymore...

i want to see a huge push for this game. make it playable across consoles and pc so the pool of players is huge.
I'm kinda worried that they may not allow it in the Capcom Pro Tour, as this game could give the CPT a huge push.
You don't think SFV's botched release was enough of a slap in the face?
Red Arremer

Capcom maybe not on their own, but they have Marvel's backing, and Marvel is extremely conscious about their properties these days.
They're going to make sure MvCI isn't going to be subpar.
christiankid7

Yeah, and to be honest, I'd say that Freeform project is going to need all the pushing it can get. Same with Runaways when it actually comes out and New Warriors if it is real.
I'm okay with this.

I'm feeling really great about Infinite. I think we're going to definitely get certain characters back, whether they're on the base or DLC.
I look forward to the future!!

Marvel won't let this game fail. They're slapping their name on it, and throwing their ips in.;
I think the CPT is fine as it is and it had a great year in 2016. MvCI can have a separate league in order to differentiate it from the CPT and considering Marvel own half the characters in the game I wouldn't be surprised if they do this.

Absolutely. She's not in season 2, even after they built her up in the story mode, probably saving her for Marvel.

A chance for certain, but I dunno if I'd be comfortable with a character like him being playable, to be honest.
If already a Hydra member, perhaps one that's a bit less of a blatant Nazi.
christiankid7
Member
I don't know. Whenever playable Red Skull was brought up in other places the whole...Nazi thing...kinda puts people off...I think Marvel especially.
Plus...he kinda sucks. Gameplay-wise. They normally have to give him some sort of gimmick in other games to make him a unique threat. He's got a gun, an army and some dust that kills you instantly. You could do something with the army aspect but....
I mean, MAA gave him a cosmic cube and he still wasn't that interesting.
Plus, I mean....nearly every other HYDRA head would bring more to the table. Vipers got the whip, Zemo's got the sword/gun combo, Zola creates monsters, and Strucker has the Satan Claw
I think he made it into Future Fight, so there's at least one instance.
Yes please. I never played much of UMvC3 during the original release window(s), but I've been enjoying her a lot since I purchased it on PS4.
Ghost Rider's probably a lock - right? Being on Agents of SHIELD this season and all.
Troubled Bat
Member
He better be. I loved the way he played, and he was in my main team.
Plus I always loved Ghost Rider.
Hey, people loved her in Marvel! It was in her own series where she wasn't as popular.
They're having a separate league because they think Marvel would cannibalize SF (and with all the Disney money going into this game and its promotion they're probably right).
christiankid7
Member
I think Ghost Rider should make the without too much difficulty.
Would it be Reyes or Blaze, though?

I haven't seen any recent Marvel title that's given me confidence that this is the case. Perhaps it's only the titles not yet released that they've taken this new stance on, time will tell.
I think Capcom nails Marvel characters in thier games better than FOX does in thier Marvel movies.
I don't think it will cannibalise it as SF has always had the strongest tourney and FGC scene but I do think it would get confusing when trying to discern the two if they were both in the CPT tour.
