I was at work last night, and got thinking about the roster and got angry.
but not for the obvious reasons like all of you. You see, I was expecting this. I was expecting no Fox characters, so I cant even be mad at it. I knew it was happening.
Not even at the lack of new characters, no no. Again, I knew the game was on a shoe string budget, so I expected few new characters. Im not even mad at that.
What im mad is at the non FOX, non "ban" characters that were left off and would at the very least round up the roster numbers wise.
Taskmaster, She Hulk, MODOK, Shuma, Iron Fist.
IRON FIST, who has tv shows! thats 5 more characters.
and then 5 more for parity with Capcom, well that is so easy to do its not even funny. Hell, even if you want to be cunts about it and save the big boys for DLC, I get you Capcom. Times are rough, you want to maximize your DLC plans with peeps like Vergil, Akuma, Wesker? Fine. Its a cunt move but fine.
But I can think of any random 5 characters already made to make parity with those 5 marvel characters.
Hsien Ko, Felicia, Pheonix Wright, Tron Bonne, Viper. Boom, there you go. Or Amaterasu or Trish or Jill or Viewtiful Joe! Hell most of these would even help with the lack of female problem!
This is the part im actually mad about lol. 10 more characters would round up the roster putting it at over 40 (which is more than vanilla mvd3).
Then I also started thinking, remember MvC2? That game had a FUCKTON of hidden / locked characters. I owned a japanese Dreamcast and I rememeber having to get a save online (somehow, I forget how lol) with the full roster because I couldnt be arsed to unlock all that shit. The character screen almost doubled or something right?
What if they were doing that again (they're not lol)? Can you imagine? Like youre Capcom, they go "you know what would be cool? What if we had like half the roster locked like MvC2, wouldnt that be a awesome throwback?" and the backlash was what we have now lol.
they are not doing that btw, Im not kididng myself. But it would be cool
