The Broken Ska Record

Have any insiders said if Capcom has finalized the roster?
The 2017 pass is described as containing "all-new" characters, and SneakersSO says that it doesn't contain any X-Men.
OFC its finalized. Game comes out in Sept of 2017, not 2018.Have any insiders said if Capcom has finalized the roster?
That would be the perfect surprise. Not seeing Wolverine, Deadpool, or any X-Men characters is just...ugh.
This is how I feel. It's going to be refreshing to see a bunch of newcomers.Let the newcomers have their time to shine without everyone just crowding around the old-mainstays just cause they are familiar. It's not like we aren't getting them anyway.
Unlikely, but Wasp (Janet) is another character I wanted super super badly in MvC3. I got over it, but I'd be over the moon is she somehow got into Infinite. I feel like the shrinking gimmick will be unique to just Ant-man if he makes the roster.
Let's be honest, Ant-Man's a lock at this point. Leaked by both Polygon & Eurogamer, and that's on top of Hawkeye's Level 3 being changed. Ant-Man's coming.Unlikely, but Wasp (Janet) is another character I wanted super super badly in MvC3. I got over it, but I'd be over the moon is she somehow got into Infinite.

Oh shit, how did I miss this. Good looks with the correction.The 2017 Character Pass has nothing but newcomers, & SneakersSO already heard that we won't get any Fox guys until 2018.
Remember, the game was likely in development for 2 years, and things between Marvel & Fox didn't improve until recently.
I'm happy this post alludes to newcomers. Hope it's around 1/3 of the cast like MvC3.Honestly, i've grown way warm to the idea of having them as DLC.

Yeah, I'm confident he's in too. However, he's not real until he's revealed.Let's be honest, Ant-Man's a lock at this point. Leaked by both Polygon & Eurogamer, and that's on top of Hawkeye's Level 3 being changed. Ant-Man's coming.

He'll be super cool, I'm sure they'll use Scott Lang. Even less of a chance for Janet assuming that's the case.
Yeah, I think the super and hyper moves will most likely have to do with shrinking and growth powers. It would be a missed opportunity to not have a giant man hyper.Or simply Wasp is going to be part of super or hyper move(s). I doubt it would happens tho.
"Old mainstays"... but most of the Avengers fit in that category (not trying to make a hate post lol) I know that Marvel owns all their rights and want to push them, it's just hard to be an X-Men fan sometimes, blame the animated series for that hahah.
If the new reveals are indeed newcomers, that would be great. I need Daredevil in the meantime for the FOX characters.
Well, it's a good point of view. I'm more dissapointed on the part where are no reps in the base roster at all, the X-Men started the series after all (at least 1 character would have been nice) "The legacy is not lost" will have to wait until next year...You're right in that the Avengers have been in the Marvel games for awhile now, but they never got top billing did they. It was always the X-men roster. Hulk & Dr. Doom also did pretty well from there, but everyone knows that Magneto, Sentinel, Storm, Wolverine, and to a lesser degree Cyclops, Psylocke, & Cable is who everyone wants to see here, lets not pretend otherwise.
I will give you that, independent of the game, being an X-men fan in this day & age is rough in Marvel comics, but at least we get some solid films (DoFP, Logan, Deadpool) from time żdto time. But you just know if those 8 characters (Dr. Doom, Storm, Sentinel, Mag, Wolverine, Cyclops, Psylocke, Cable) were in on day 1, that is all we'd see very heavily the beginning of play, unless some of the other characters were just straight up broken.
I feel, with this method, we'll get the old familiars getting their time in the sun when they come out, but at least initially in the beginning the cast will get their proper chance to be explored.
I could see Wolverine, and maybe Deadpool if they allow two. In the Base Roster.
I'm sorry I asked, dude.OFC its finalized. Game comes out in Sept of 2017, not 2018.
I thought that the thread was closed after not seeing it after some time.
So, Rikurikumore is back with more leaks and is saying that Thanos and Asura are new characters for Infinite. I know that Ryce debunked it with the "red and blue" hint but it would be nice to get them (even though both are safe bets)

One of those posts, yeah. As I said, we don't really know if he's one to believe.
Maybe Gene could be one of the DLC characters.We need more Gene rumors and confirmations before Asura. ;p
The weirdest part is that he supposedly confirmed my theory about Chun-Li being recast because of Black Widow.
We got gameplay in December bruh.This game really is a lesson in how weird Capcom is.
1) Release trailer in December with absolutely no information aside from telling everyone its 2v2, theres gems, and its for casuals
2) Wait 6 months and say nothing. Everyone thinks the game is basically Street Fighter x Tekken. During that period we get constant speculation about how the game is going to suck and everyone is down on it. No hype whatsoever. Also the game looks like ass.
3) Story mode trailer with DLC set 6 months later???
4) Finally get gameplay. Gameplay looks really different than we expected, they've basically made a complete sandbox game that is going to be amazingly broken and fun. Game still looks like ass, HUD is LOL, Chun Li has a WTF terribad face but clearly they're trying to save money b/c Capcom is like broke or something
5) Do nothing except 15 second Raccoon trailer
6) pray they dont screw up the launch.
They found a pretty good balance for SFV's base roster.In fighting games capcom is never able to find the happy medium of just the right amount of new characters and returning characters. SFV is a prime example.

I don't believe it, but I'd like for it to be real too.I really want Riku's list to be legit.

Riku said that wasn't the whole roster. Just the characters he's personally heard of.
I doubt Phoenix Wright will be left out, anyway.
To me, the characters that make most sense to include in these VS games are characters that can pass off as heroes/villains to stand next to Marvel characters and not look out of place.
Most of the Darkstalker characters have the edge in that they look like villains/super heroes but also come feature ready as fighting game characters. They are easy inclusions hence why they end up getting high number of reps despite low number of games sold per series.
That's why something like DMC ends up getting a bunch of series rep. Not only is it a top 5 series for Capcom but all the characters in it are super hero/villains. They got super abilities up the wazoo. It also helps DMC because they come moveset ready as DMC at times is modeled after fighting games in terms of some mechanics.
Of course there are exceptions especially with characters that have their own franchises and have to be included despite not meeting this criteria (like Phoenix Wright). But that's why we can't have both Chris and Leon/Ada/Barry in the game because they are just too... normal for the game. Regina unfortunately has a similar issue but at least she represents a whole series.
You can force a fighting game moveset on any character you want, that's rarely an issue. It's having characters in that make sense and create a balanced roster in terms of archetype and series representation.
Aside from RE5 Jill, they are all a bunch of dudes/gals with gadgets. Basically a bunch of Punishers and Black Widows. That's not enough to differentiate them.But Resident Evil is Capcom's most popular franchise. They need to have a lot of reps, and the good thing about RE characters is that they all have gimmicks to differentiate them; Chris stole Jill's old weapon based moveset, Jill now is a melee based fighter, Leon can be vehicle-centric while Ada relies on her high-tech gadgets and Grapple Gun (a mix betwen Viper and Spencer)
Yup, I'd prefer not to have too many ordinary guys. I still think of how much relevance Black Widow has in any of the avengers movies when she looks like a joke when any super human is on screen... I guess Batman is in the same league as Black Widow in this aspect, (which was why Batman vs Superman ending he basically did nothing in the last fight).Aside from RE5 Jill, they are all a bunch of dudes/gals with gadgets.

You can always "differentiate" characters by providing different tools/mechanics but at the end of the day, Chris/Leon/Ada aren't going to be air dashing or flying or teleporting around. This is a series that is built on super heroes fighting other super heroes. You can only handle so many regular humans in the roster.
Having 1-2 characters that are "just human" from each side is probably acceptable... just to show the kids out there that you can be a hero without having super powers.Yup, I'd prefer not to have too many ordinary guys.
