I believe he calls Strider "bandana face".
Nova / Dante silly 260 hit combo that does no real extradamage because of the scaling but still.
The stuff with Nova at the start looked good.

A better way to position it is this:
If you could pick those 3 characters returning, over something else Capcom hasn't tapped into, which would you prefer? Me personally I'd like new characters from Capcom IP's not used in a Marvel vs. game yet, rather then rehashing these 3. Maybe if they had done a crazy overhaul on all 3 it would've made more sense, but it's minor tweaks you would see in like a balance change in a fighting game they got as far as what I have seen and read to their core gameplay loop.
Asura, A power Stone character, a rival schools character, God hand character, Breath of Fire, Dino Crisis, Onimusha, Lost Planet, etc etc. These guys aren't starved for IP's to draw character's from for a game like this.
So my statement still stands. Those 3 slots suck when I think of anything I listed above could've had a chance in their stead.

People will get excited for anything at a convention you could say a fire had broken out and people would still cheer and be excited to see a fire in real life.
The bigger point to make is that Capcom never really had such "events" for character reveals. We didn't even get individual trailers for characters.
They would release one trailer and then threw on a crap ton of characters in them. We had like 5 trailers total and in those 4 trailers the entire roster was revealed.
Trailer 1 (extended version): MMX, Ryu, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Captain America, Morrigan. Power and Time stone.
Trailer 2: Ultron, Hawkeye, Thor, Hulk, Chun Li, Strider, Chris. Space Stone.
Trailer 3: Dante, Rocket, Arthur, Strange, Thanos, Nova, Spencer, Zero. Reality stone.
Trailer 4: Spider Man, Frank West, Haggar, Nemesis, Gamorra. Mind stone.
Trailer: 5: Jedah, Ghost Rider, Dormammu, Firebrand. Soul stone.

hopefully that changes for the DLC at least :/

People would still lose their shit if that happened today. But you can't get hype over the same shit you saw nearly 10 years ago. So that leaves a total of 6 reveals people can get excited for until the first DLC batch releases. and I think people enjoyed all 6 of those reveals. But 6 reveals can't sustain hype for a year.

Does SFV dlc still come out on the last day of the month? Cause that's kinda what I'm expecting here too.

They stopped doing those trailers after SFxT bombed.
I guess those cinematic trailers costed a lot of money.
They had 5 trailer and every trailer had a total of one new character in it except the first one... LMAO!
At least they were wise enough to spread out the new characters.

TBH Firebrand was what put UMvC3 on my radar. I love Demon's Crest.
Not exactly enthused he's returned though. I like the stoic demon badass he is in DC. Not the annoying gremlin thing he is here.
Mike not even coming back for Marvel? Damn SFV really broke him.

I'd be 100x more hype for Firebrand if it was actually Firebrand from DC and not Arremer

As in "Heathcliff"
The game is pretty great. It's definitely way better than simplistic OverWatch. I think I put quite a lot of my time in this game and I enjoy every minutes of it until eltiists ruined the game eventually.
She-Hulk become Grey becuase she was pissed to find out that her cousin (Hulk) was killed by Hawkeye so she's trying to find her place in the society becuase of everything happened to her. (Since she almost died from Warmachine's mishap with the missile or rocket).
Shush, please don't point out the flaw in the picture!
Yes, some of the other stages you unlock after playing Story mode are pretty cool. They're mainly variations or other parts of the other stages but they look nice.
I have to imagine they weren't cheap. It's a shame, because they were the best things that we got from SFxT.
Also Capcom probably figured that story mode trailers would be a fine substitute for big cinematic character reveal trailers, and hey, why not reuse the stuff you already made? I don't blame them because the story mode stuff they showed off (with the exception of the E3 trailer) looked about on par with the stuff we got for MvC3 and SFxT.
Really the biggest problem with how they marketed this game comes back to the roster. It's a lot harder to get people hyped for characters they already used in the last game, and it's sad that they blew their load on new characters with the lackluster Jedah reveal at EVO.

Is that a Credo color for Jedah?
Would be pretty cool if there was a SFV character profile thing for characters from the Marvel and Capcom universes like they're doing with V.
Though I feel like the "Convergence" that caused the universes of Marvel and Capcom to collide, or the actions of Ultron-Sigma, or both have wiped out most of both universes.
tbh he barely touched MvC3. SFIV was his game, period.
Actually they quietly retconned it to the missiles not doing much but instead Thanos attacking her after that did it.

I don't think Miguel Ross has any desire to play Capcom games anymore. He despised sfv I think and he was never to big into MvC post 2.
UNFATHOMABLE
Ninja Theory basically had a panel at GDC going over the DmC art direction. There was a segment about redesigning Dante so that he's less "flair" and more "grounded" by western standards of what it means to be "cool". You can check it out yourself here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Pz8WiEW4U
While the panel itself is 30 min the segment in question is within the first 5 minutes.
For the record I put the better part of the blame on Capcom rather than NT because they were the ones who specifically mandated this.
Strange's colors are also the Order's colors. It's what the goons wear though I don't have a good picture of that.

There's a grand total of 6 new characters(almost 1 trailer per new character), showing off MVC3 characters like they actually did any work would be ridiculous.
Puny Metal Man (X)
And we were this close to losing the classic series if DmC actually was successful.

They want Dante to be similar to cowboys? I'm not a DMC fan and even I find that a dumb choice lol

We need Strange's casual costume DLC.
I've only seen friends play Devil May Cry & I know Dante absolutely is glam rock, in-your-face edge, & campiness. I've seen this picture before but it frustrates me each time.
They didn't want their design to be like a cowboy. DMC4 Dante had cowboy boots so they were making that correlation (ie. our Dante is not like DMC4 Dante).
However, they messed up using the wrong cowboy image. If they had use like a regular stock cowboy image then it would've been fine... but they used Brokeback Mountain instead (a movie about gay cowboys) and it comes off as being fairly homophobic. This was not their intention but of course you can't read into intentions when you are just looking at a random slide like that. It was bad PR all around.
Thanos ain't new.
The leak kinda sucked the air out of his official reveal.

Even with the leak him and nemesis were the too "Why?". Though i'd say even Nemesis had more on his side since being a BOW and large character for the RE series worked for his advantage. Along with his armor hype where he smashed through a chun li special.
The official reveal sucked the air out of his official reveal.
No, really, there was nothing hype about his reveal, even without the leak.
Math jokes. Read as function of x men.
Yeah...the optics were not good. At all.

Dante's Theme is confirmed Dumpster Fire Tier.
God damn who listened to that and went "Yeah this is fine."

They'd have been better with no lyrics and just techno.
Makes the MVC3 version look like straight fire (I actually like the MVC3 version but I know some people don't).

He doesn't play much like his MvC2 self and even then barely anyone remembers he was even in that game.
Damn did DR2K hit the poll with every device in his home or something? Can't believe MvC:4 Female Characters shot past f(x)-men.
I think the rules are midnight EST unless the mods would have otherwise?

Yes, he is. He's new in terms of work, moveset, and animations.
