Common belief is that this is it for the base roster.

We'll know for sure either way at Gamescom.
That would involve them making more than the four gameplay trailers that were all they had budget for.

Can you GAF detectives hunt down a textless version of this? This would make an awesome wallpaper.

Capcom really better bring it at gamescom. It's their last hope.
Jedah, Firebrand, Ghostrider, Dormammu gameplay trailer. Then story trailer with two new characters and perhaps a hint at the remaining DLC

Venom can't be DLC, right? I thought that was only new characters.

It's so ugly, they won't even show it anymore. Just buy it for 20 bucks 3 days after release and forget this game ever happened like Capcom will do.

Wait, Venom and Hunter are DLC now??

Guess I'm back on the Infinite hate train.

We don't know. We never knew. It is (was?) all speculation and hopes.

Honestly I'm fine with it but I really don't want them just recycling off the wall choices from MVC3 like MODOK as DLC when they should just be in the base game...I want new hotness for DLC only.

The Marvel side is decent enough, ignoring the obvious holes.
Now, the Capcom side...

Real talk on Ghost Rider...I'm glad he's in again because he is a cool character who was done no real justice in the last title.
And honestly without assists he'd be even WORSE in this game. My list of things I want him to have this go round are simple:
Ghost Rider needed another go. All the bottom tier did truthfully. Hsien Ko was a damned travesty compared to her old versions and Iron Fist...we wont go there. Hell even Phoenix Wright could use the old revisit.
Here's hoping Ghost Rider at least came out good this time. Considering Arthur got a dash but no way to avoid the Hard Knockdown from Gold Armor again I'm worried though. You can't even tag out to make that knockdown safe, use super to reload it or anything...not like Dante or Zero install modes end in an unavoidable hard knockdown *mumble grumble*
- He couldn't defend vs jumpers
- He couldn't really scare you with his mediocre chip tactic because it never did enough
- he didn't win as a zoner
- his jS overhead couldn't really convert to anything
- no converting off of throws
- no real combos.
And honestly without assists he'd be even WORSE in this game. My list of things I want him to have this go round are simple:
- A good GTFO move that pushes out and guards above him as well as beside him. I keep thinking Omega Red's old tentacle flail that hit in front and behind him except using GR's chain with a slightly higher hitbox to help dissuade jumpers.
- A grabbity "get over here" move like Vice in KOF with an OTG version so that he can actually convert off of throws, or jS or even extend combos with repeatedly in order to finally get some damned damage
- Some kind of a mixup. Like any. I'd love it if Heartless Spire was meter burnable so that it could explode arc-ing firey rocks above and behind folks that linger for a bit on the ground. This way you could GTFO someone with Heartless Spire, burn it, and then harass them from the front setting up a left right mixup. It'd even help force them to try and move in ways you could setup stuff for like trying this left right to force jump ins you could now punish into full conversion or to setup for them to maybe dodge forward right into jS.

If he sucks ass like he did in Marvel 3 then i'm not interested. He's a cool character but he's so poorly designed in the game next to iron fist.

Nice. Hopefully Infinite helps him be a better character.
No need to worry about that here! There's no Iron Fist in this game.

Looks like this game might actually have post release support so balance it might get more than 2 balance updates. The characters don't play exactly the same as before either so they should different/new tools especially with the stone mechanics. Of course there is gonna be characters that are gonna be ultra trash or only viable in certain match ups/strategies. I really have liked SFV balance for the most part.

Considering how they've been recycling assets i highly doubt it. Things will only get worse from here since he doesn't have assists not to mention he wasn't that good to begin with

He can't be a direct copy from 3. Capcom has to know he was garbage.

As a Ghost Rider fan I want this Issue but with the last one (Firebrand and Dormammu) my local stores never got them.

Ghost rider would need an entire rehaul since he was poorly designed from the get go, just giving him a few small buffs isn't gonna help

Doc Strange got pretty buffed and Nemesis is usable so far so there is hope.

Maybe a full game blowout @ Gamescom with the whole roster, last Infinity Stone, SP modes other than Story, and maybe the other 2 DLC characters?

Another MvC3 character. Shocker.

I am excited for Ghost Rider if only because he was never very viable in UMvC3. I do hope they can bring some good will to the title at Gamescom. It absolutely needs some injection of excitement into the base roster with legitimate exciting reveals. They also needs to spend real marketing money on those reveals. I don't want to see FChamp's canned responses playing ComboFiend to reveal Venom.

Ya know, this stirs a thought in me. F Champ has been tight with this games dev folks and now Ghost Rider returns and that was a character that was F Champs ORIGINAL favorite. In Fact, the dude wanted to play him like how Justin Wong wanted to play Iron Fist. It was his niche character that he just wished had been better that appealed to his style of play...if only the tools had been better though.
Now, with F Champ tight with them, and Ghost Rider returning we may just see a more balanced and tweaked Ghost Rider that's playable. F Champ was championing that character and wished he could've found any reason to keep trying. Maybe with his input he can now get a second chance at that. Makes me cross my damned fingers for a similar thing happening with J Wong input and Iron Fist someday. I'll have to wait and see how Ghost Rider ends up though before holding out any hope.
It'd be satisfying to see F Champ able to run Ghost Rider/Dormammu together effectively in MVCI so he could finally enjoy both his mains without one being trash.
Assuming, of course, that they have much else to show.

It could go either way. I could see them holding things close to the chest for a larger blow out leading up to launch. I could also see them doing things they think are blow outs that end up falling flat like everything else after the initial reveal.
I am trying to be optimistic if for no other reason than I trust there is a solid game there but covered in terrible marketing, communication, and art direction.
If wesker returns, I would be more hyped as I liked him in the previous game. Needless to say, I would love the x-men to return. I will be excited for the current returning characters provided they have revamped moves that makes them feel like a new character (sort of like akuma in SFV), but all I am seeing so far look similar to UMvC3 with the new system mechanics which is standard across the board.
