I'm glad they know. Please make the right calls Disney/Marvel, Capcom, and hell even Sony to make this happen.
Marvel vs Capcom 4 is my most wished game of all time (obviously I knew Breath of the Wind was coming, just didn't have an info blowout until last week), so please make this happen...somehow.

Come on capcom lets gooooo!!!! It's time for Mahvel again.I am sure Capcom can negotiate a deal for MvC4 with disney. In a world where last guardian has a release date and JR smith is a NBA champ I believe MvC4 is possible too. Lets goooO!!!!!
Huh, I didn't peg you as a Cleveland Cavaliers fan. Still, I'm glad that you're feeling the optimism like I am.

Man, I'm getting myself excited for something that might not happen for a while. I've already started talking about possible character lineups with my friends.

I remember how bleak the possibility of a new MvC was in the era of MvC2 dreamcast / ps2, everyone thought it would never happen. #NeverGiveUp
I know that feeling, my friend. I even thought of how the roster would pan out given the recent restrictions.
MARVEL
- Iron Man
- Spider-Man [Peter Parker]
- Rocket Raccoon
- Captain Marvel (Rogue successor)
- Nova [Richard Rider]
- Star-Lord (Cable successor)
- Captain America
- Hawkeye [Clint Barton]
- Quicksilver* or Blade (Deadpool successor)
- Scarlet Witch* (Psylocke successor) or Medusa
- Groot (Sentinel successor)
- Black Panther (Wolverine successor)
- Hulk
- Black Widow
- Loki (Doctor Doom successor)
- Ultron (Magneto successor)
- Thanos
- Black Bolt
- Ms. Marvel (Super-Skrull successor)
- Taskmaster
- She-Hulk
- Thor
- Doctor Strange
- Dormammu
- Iron Fist
- Daredevil
- Ant-Man
- Falcon
- Wasp
CAPCOM
- Ryu
- Strider Hiryu
- Mega Man [Classic]
- Chun-Li
- Phoenix Wright
- Captain Commando
- Spencer
- Zero
- Dante
- Morrigan
- Tron Bonne
- Gene
- Akuma
- Crimson Viper
- Leon S. Kennedy [RE6] or Chris Redfield [RE6]
- Jill Valentine [RE Revelations]
- Albert Wesker [RE5]
- Arthur

- Vergil
- Trish
- Viewtiful Joe
- Amaterasu
- Frank West
- Felicia
- Hsien-Ko
- Jin Saotome
- Nero
- Rathalos (if the MH team allows it) or Yasha
This would put the hypothetical game at 58 characters, which is the same as Smash 4 & what Niitsuma originally wanted UMvC3 to be at.

But what if it turns out to be the much hated Sam Alexander?

I'm a huge Capcom fan and feel like MVC3 got all the heavy hitters Capcom has left. Kinda feel like they should just make an all Marvel fighter at this point that plays like MvC.
Balancing that many characters is tough for sure
That said, Capcom really didn't do themselves any favors when they designed certain characters.
Just compare somebody like Dormammu (1/3 screen covering projectiles, opponent-based teleports, 8 way airdashing, lots of combo potential etc.) to Arthur (slow ass walk speed and no dashes because it's "accurate to the games", world's stubbiest normals, his powerup super puts him at a disadvantages for some stupid reason etc.)
I really hope they dial that nonsense back, especially for the Capcom side. I don't want characters that are "super accurate" to their original games if it means they're complete garbage to play as.
Amen to this, they could've at least given Arthur a ground dash.
Though just like with SF and it's Dan, UMVC3 had its obvious joke characters like Phoenix Wright.
Marvel Entertainment seems to be dialing back on Sam Alexander a bit as of late (he left the All-New All-Different Avengers recently, & he hasn't been featured on the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon in a while), & they let Gazillion have Richard Rider as the default Nova, so Richie has a shot.

It's gotta be coming eventually. Disney and Capcom seem to be cool with each other, so I'm sure that'll make things a lot easier. I guess it's just a matter of the devs being at the right place at the right time.
How about Avengers VS X-Men with the SF5 engine. I could give a shit about any capcom characters. They don't even need to develop the game at all. Give it to the tekken devs or something. I just want a great Marvel fighting game.
It was always so unrealistic that Marvel characters could ever get their ass kicked by anyone in the Capcom roster anyway.
Make a D.C. vs Marvel fighting game already.

I'm just salty megaman wasn't in MVC3
And also money. While in theory, Capcom could renew the license, they seem to be playing it too safe with their cash right now. A few risks wouldn't hurt every once-in-a-while, & something like MvC4 would be a worthwhile risk since the MCU hype is at an all-time high. But yeah, Disney & Capcom are friendly with one another. DuckTales Remastered is still being sold, was a PS+ game, & helped revive interest in the DuckTales IP.
Marvel put the X-Men characters off-limits, so it's not like that could happen anyway. That said, Marvel Super Heroes 2 would be a more apt name. As for the developer, Capcom would still be the best ones for the job given their experience with Marvel.
I will never understand posts like these.
Yeah man... Children of the Atom was SO UNREALISTIC, no way would Sentinel could ever hope to beat Magneto!
Or Injustice and Catwoman laying the smackdown on Superman without any Kryptonite involved.
Also if you want to talk about power level than Capcom has some decent heavy hitters and gods too. Enough characters can take on the likes of Captain America, Wolverine, Iron Fist etc. -

Capcom doesn't fund games on their own anymore, so Sony most likely.
Good point. Haha.
In the case of Injustice, they explained it away with the 5U93R pills. But yeah, that's the kind of stuff you're supposed to hand-wave in fighting games.
NRS, ASW, Namco, probably Iron Galaxy.
I think ASW can knock it out of the park if given the chance.
Arc System Works, Namco, Iron Galaxy, & Lab Zero Games
On the Marvel side of things, they've just announced a new comic staring an African American Inhuman who goes by Mosaic. If he takes off popularity-wise like fellow Inhuman Ms. Marvel, maybe he could be in MvC4 if it happens in the near future.
As for his powers, Geoffrey Thorne (the creator of Mosaic) had this to say...

Well then that is good to hear at least.
He really needs to say "Blue blazes!" upon being defeated.
Nova already says it in one of his win quotes.

I hope they make Marvel vs. Capcom 4 and put out the garbage Capcom guest characters.
I want a Marvel fighting game not some crossover again.

Then it would just be Marvel Super Heroes 2. And while I wouldn't be opposed to that, it'd feel like something's missing.
I like your list, made some changes in what I hope we'd get if there ever was a MvC4.
MARVEL
- Iron Man
- Spider-Man [Peter Parker] (Spider-Gwen alt)
- Rocket Raccoon
- Captain Marvel (Rogue successor)
- Gamora
- Star-Lord (Cable successor)
- Captain America
- Hawkeye [Clint Barton]
- Elsa Bloodstone
- Scarlet Witch* (Psylocke successor) or Medusa or Nico Minoru
- Groot (Sentinel successor)
- Black Panther (Wolverine successor)
- Hulk
- Black Widow
- Loki (Doctor Doom successor)
- Ultron (Magneto successor)
- Thanos
- Black Bolt
- Ms. Marvel (Super-Skrull successor)
- Taskmaster
- She-Hulk
- Thor
- Doctor Strange
- Dormammu
- Iron Fist
- Daredevil
- Ant-Man
- Songbird
- Wasp
I'd have to draw the line at cutting Nova. He stays, but Gamora can take Elsa Bloodstone's slot.
Not gonna lie, I have a personal grudge against Nova as I felt Captain Marvel could've had his spot in the previous game. :lol

NRS? I liked MKX just fine, but I'm still super disappointed that they didn't let Capcom just make the DC game instead because they're so much better at it.
NetherRealm Studios is an in-house fighting game studio for WB Games. They have no reason to let anyone else handle DC fighting games.
No reason why we can't have both in MvC4.

Yes, though I see it being more appropriately used as a death cry. Course he kind of says that loads of times regardless.
Ah, fair enough.

Those lists seem too safe for a company that put MODOK and Rocket Raccoon in MVC3
and Spiral and Marrow in MVC2
I'd expect another off the wall, crazy choice or two. Maybe Arnim Zola? Speedball?
I'd think Cloak and Dagger have a shot, since they have that TV show coming up.
Baron Zemo seems plausible because of Civil War
I think we'd see Moon Knight
Mockingbird would be nice to replace gambit.
Elsa Bloodstone would be fun to pit against the Monster Hunters of that franchise
I could see a good amount of Thunderbolts because that may or may not be coming as a movie
Night Thrasher might be getting a push...maybe he'd get in?

Rocket was included because of the then-planned Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Neoxon please stop. You're like a low tier Dahbomb, it's painful to read your posts.
I'm hurt. I'm more like a mid-tier George, on his best day.

Yeah I am NY Knicks fan since i am from NYC but I am also a big lebron fan. Good to see the king exposed curry as the fraud he is. Curry can't produce where it counts the most. So much for comparing this guy to MJ. Not even close. But good to see the Return of the king. Hopefully Knicks pick it up next season.
Also please capcom make MvC4 happen please.
You & my dad would get along just fine.
That said, this could be the way to get more outcry for MvC4 going (at least, more than usual).
Street Fighter V is doing fine competitively, & the FGC has been reaching new heights thanks to it. Granted, SFV had a rocky start, but it has a bright future ahead of it competitively. Even if MvC4 happens, SFV will probably remain as the top game of the Capcom Pro Tour.

If MvC4 ever happens do you think a sprite based 2d game like MvC2 or 1 or heck even SF vs Marvel (which was my personal favorite vs game) can succeed in this day and age? I really hope so. Tired of the 2.5D design over the last decade. I know most anime games are still old 2d style. But who plays anime FGs? lol....
joking lol obviously some people do.
Not likely. Sprites are hella expensive to make, with even the likes of Guilty Gear & King of Fighters moving on to 3D models.

Man 2.5D games look ugly to me lol. Especially new MK and injustice games. I actually prefer the old digitally putting in actors like MK1,2,3. Those played smoother and looked better IMO. I also though compared to MvC2 or SFvs Marvel, MvC3 looked really bad graphics wise. Looked bland and generic imo.
