This is what I have been thinking as well, with grandmaster possibly being the missing capcom character.

Though it would be funny if my Death theory turned out to be correct.

I dunno about grand master. They made it seem pretty quick at the panel that he's just an NPC

Oh, did they? I missed that then. Interesting. Hopefully we get a nice surprise then.

And I guess Green Goblin, if he does in fact show up like was hinted, is probably dlc wave 2?
 
As someone who hasn't read much GotG, or anything starring Gamora in general....is that Shadow clone super something she does in the comics?
Nope. Just a function of Cable.

Put this together after the Zip leak info and the latest SDCC roster. Unless I'm missing something critical, I'm fairly sure we have the roster outside of one final Capcom character. Bottom row is DLC.

I still believe in Ant-Man, & believe/want TWS as an NPC, although I guess Death does make sense as the keeper of the Soul Gem.

MODOK throws everything in flux though.
 
I really don't see Modok as anything more than an Alex in SFV situation (when he was a background character). If he's coming back playable or even as a boss it won't be until next year.
 
Why? Because of the '6 all new' thing? They could have easily meant 'not from tvc/mvc3' by 'all new', because they'd essentially have to be.
You know exactly how well that would have gone over with the internet at large.

We are "up" a Marvel character at this point on the .zip leak and the simplest explanation is that Bucky is an NPC. It leaves the number of newbies balanced on both sides. The alternative explanation would be that "Death" is the Capcom CFAS version and that both he and Bucky are in as DLC or base. But that would be one bizarre set of selections, even for capcom.

Random select buttons being Bucky and the Mystery slot would fit here.
 
I do think Venom is probably on the base roster, but at the same time, he's super popular ($$$) and still 'new' depending on your definition vs Capcom's so DLC is not so farfetched.
 
I'm really hoping some of these characters are base. If monster hunter is DLC that'll be pretty whack and make the newcomers on the base roster look even worse. Since that means we have a total of 4 and that's just sad.

Thanos references Marvel's death when he dies so i cant see it being the capcom version.

Looks like we can scratch that one off then.
 
Who's that character in the bottom row next to Sigma?

Also surprised there's no Deadpool.
It's Monster Hunter, & there's no Deadpool due to the Fox debacle.

You could apply that logic to Thanos, but he isn't DLC.

5. 2 Capcom 3 Marvel. So someone else on the capcom side has to be a base newcomer.

So yeah, the more I think about it now the less i agree with Max's roster pic.
 
Capcom is starting to push Monster Hunter in the West, which is currently pretty obscure over here. Making the Hunter DLC just doesn't make sense to me -- who would that appeal to? Black Panther and Sigma are both highly requested characters. Hunter is a mute avatar from a niche series. Putting him on the base roster would introduce a much wider audience to the franchise in time for Monster Hunter: World.
 
So if hunter and Venom are base roster, that gives us 32 base characters.

If Winter Soldier also turns out to be just an NPC, then that means we basically have no idea who the other 4 dlc characters are.

That...would actually be kinda nice, since it opens the door to possibilities like Green Goblin again
 
Maybe it's for Dormammu.

Much like free lockdown (space) and a free damage boost (power), having your options choked by the amount of meter (don't) have is definitely something you see at high levels of play and something that's hard to say no to.

I just imagined Dormammu with the time stone too, the amount of stuff he could throw out there is probably biblical.
I don't see why Dormammu would want the Time Stone. The teleport dash is basically his default teleport. You should generally pick a stone based on its normal ability, not just its X-Factor.

If rumors about the Soul Gem are true, I think that will be the one Dormammu chooses. He can easily run away while building meter to resurrect his partner, and the passive heal whenever you hurt your opponent will make him even more oppressive.

Reality Gem seems superfluous on him, and he will crush anyone who crutches on it by default. Time Gem is superfluous. Mind Gem... Dormammu isn't going to get into range for a command grab. ROFL. Space could be okay, since you could potentially mess with their attempts to get in and move them into Flame Carpet.

Personally, Power Stone is looking to be the one that I would pick with Dormammu. It fills an actual gap of his, which is the ability to push people off of him once they get in. Plus he can combo off of a full screen wall bounce, so the synergy is strong. The Surge ability negates pushblock, which means Dormammu can really mess people up with Stalking Flare mix-ups, and of course Jedah will have a field day with no pushblock plus endless instant overheads.

So yeah, Power Stone for sure, Soul Gem is promising, and Space Gem is interesting. Unless Reality ends up being so OP that it is better than Dormammu's default tools, I don't think it is an appealing choice.

Assuming he plays like he does in Marvel. My hunch is that he mostly will, since Dr. Strange is intact. The same characters that struggle against Dormammu struggle against Strange. If one is in and the devs think he is balanced, the other probably will be. I think they might change up Dark Spells and nerf Flame Carpet, but the basic style will be the same.
 
Roster still makes me sad but I just saw quite a bit of footage from Gamora and she is looking so good, love the combination of Sword and Gunplay. Character roster may be weak but if it stays like this then my team will be Gamora and Captain Marvel, so I'm lucky in the fact that I will be able to learn 2 new characters.
 
So heres a question for those that like to speculate.

IF Green Goblin made it in as DLC like they hinted, how would he play?

Green Goblin could work pretty easily as a playable character. I hope it happens. He’d only be superficially similar to Firebrand in the way that Gamora is similar to Deadpool.

Specials:
Horizontal glider rush
Anti-air glider loop
Pumpkin Bomb (explodes on impact)
Gas grenade (explodes after a second or two and stuns opponent)
Quick razor bat projectile
M.O.D.O.K.-style flight

Hyper Combos:
Frantically hurls a bunch of Pumpkin Bombs
Maximum Goblin (zips around the screen on his glider)
Level 3 - throws a smoke grenade, rushes forward on his glider, grabs the opponent, flies up really high and simply drops the opponent while laughing maniacally

And that’s just four minutes of brainstorming. Capcom could obviously come up with something much better.

Aerial Rushdown. Has an aerial trap ability but it's slow and really only helps against the slower, big-bodied characters.

Can throw up to 3 bombs while in the air.

Has to summon his glider but once in it, has the best aerial mobility in the game. Can also send his glider to move straight-forward ( hits as a projectile) while he drops to the ground but then has to summon another glider once on the ground.

Replace Sigma and BP with randomselects and you have my bet for the launch, non-DLC roster.

Now that Meio was deconfirmed, this mystery Capcom character gets even more interesting.
 
I'm honestly just expecting a 32 character base roster at this point, with Hunter, Jedah (formally), Firebrand, Venom, Ghost Rider, and Dormammu left as the only reveals. I don't think there's a mystery Capcom character -- what we saw in the .zip leak is what we're going to get.

I'm freaking glad that Capcom just came out and disconfirmed Meio for everyone to know so we can move on forward. I knew he wouldn't become playable character via base roster and season pass 2017.

I really hope we are going to get four good choices of characters for SP 2017.

You're giving up on Ant-Man?

Personally, yeah. If he was in the base roster he probably would've been revealed by now alongside all the other core Avengers.

I think Venom will be revealed whenever we get the next story trailer with A.I.M.brella and New Metro City, leaving Jedah, Firebrand, Ghost Rider, and Dormammu for the inevitable hell-themed story trailer in August. I don't know where that leaves Hunter, but there is a Monster Hunter panel later today, and newcomers have been revealed with each cluster so far: X/Captain Marvel at PSX, Sigma/Ultron in April, and Gamora/Black Panther at E3. (I know I'm being hopelessly optimistic there.)
 
WHAT IS THIS

YOU BETRAYER

I regret nothing

Hunter has to be base. Marvel has a +1 to newbies atm, he balances it.

Not only this, but it would be EXCEPTIONALLY WEIRD for Monster Hunter to take up one half of one of the worlds and one of the major "bosses" with absolutely no playable character.

Especially with BP definitely being DLC, it would just be weird for Valkanda to have absolutely nobody playable for either half on disc.

Yeah this where I am too. I also doubt that the final reveals are going to be just Firebrand, Dormammu, and Ghost Rider. Hunter and Venom in the final group reveal would be a solid way to close off the roster.

Though, I am holding on to some hope that the zip leak is also incomplete since MODOK isn't on there.

With M.O.D.O.K. being a stage prop, his model wouldn't be in the characters folder. I doubt you'll fight him in story mode either -- he'll likely send out Nemesis and some grunts to do his bidding.

MODOK is a stage asset, and was likely modeled by that team, hence him missing from the list full of character models.

Ah yeah that does make sense. I just thought he'd make a substantial enough appearance in the story for a model to be in that leak as well.
 
What's going on in here with some of these bets? There won't be an options menu in this game, it will be called funct- (cane pull off stage).

I have a really bad feeling about Venom tbh. I would love for him to be in the game but given MCU focus I can't see him being more than an NPC in story :(. He's in a weird grey area for me. I'm going to be so disappointed if he isn't in.
 
You know the one thing about these rosters that always seems to be overlooked is Ultron-Sigma. Going by the story mode demo, he still needs a partner, so he'll probably be a regular character at some point.
