I don't think adopting the Super SF4 model is a bad idea for Marvel, actually, since Marvel is a game about loads of options at the same time. Base game + DLC expansion with optional retail option + patches every couple of months (just minor stuff, with big system changes for the expansions).

Yeah, I'm okay with that as well to be honest. As long as the price is right I can totally get behind this.

 

[Brainiac 8]

I'm actually not upset at the X-men being left out since the two I liked the most weren't in MvC3: Cyclops and Gambit.

I will miss X23 though.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

Frank West will be back since he is the lead in the new DR.

He is? I have not see him in the game at all.

 

[Boke1879]

This is damn near a sure thing at this point. James Chen more than likely knows about it lol.

Sucks it go leaked. It would have been an awesome surprise this weekend.

 

[Experien]

No X-Men means no reason to even look in this direction. Such a shame, silly Disney.

 

[Mulgrok]

This better have Squirrel Girl as the final boss.

 

[EdibleKnife]

Wait. What's this weekend?

It would have been one of the greatest surprises.

 

[Reverend Funk]

I'm most excited about seeing characters on this that I've never even heard of

 

[Nudull]

Frank West will be back since he is the lead in the new DR.

Would it be too much to ask for Capcom to keep TJ Rotolo as his VA?

 

[mreddie]

It would have been one of the greatest surprises.

Wasn't SFV getting revealed leaked days before?

 

[Vaughngief]

Frank West will be back since he is the lead in the new DR.

Bring in the original Frank and voice actor. Not whatever that thing is in DR4.

 

[HK-47]

He is? I have not see him in the game at all.

Well itll be an imposter cosplaying as Frank West as least.

 

[Boke1879]

Wait. What's this weekend?

Playstation Experience and Capcom Cup. CC will be an even at the PSX. That's where this is supposed to be announced

From the other thread:

Just so there's documentation in this thread and I like to read as close to primary sources as I can, McWhertor's response about X-Men and another about how he has no information about FF/other characters.


In response to @TotalMackerel:
@MikeMcWhertor Is the no X-men bit from your source or just an assumption based on the current state of Marvel?

@MikeMcWhertor
@TotalMackerel both from sources and Marvel's business practices



@MikeMcWhertor
@AgeOfMyself all I've heard is to expect zero mutants — unsure of how that extends to Fantastic Four, Deadpool, etc.

Will be very interesting (especially to see the conspiracy theories) if no mutants appear but FF characters do. DP appearing would throw a wrench into those theories, but AFAIK he is a mutant?

No x-men should have been a no Brainer expected situation. Marvel/disney is smothering the x-men franchise on all fronts, basically a long term plan to get back the rights.

Pretty much.

I also believe Disney/Marvel might be playing the long term game to get the full spidey rights back, giving Sony a shitton of money in the process (i.e. over $1B). Especially if all these upcoming Marvel games are exclusive (with the possible exception of the TT one).

 

[Skab]

How open minded of you

Spoiler

Fuck Felicia and fuck Trish I take nothing back

 

[Neoxon]

There's literally no reason to think this. They probably won't add any more X Men and Wolverine is the head Marvel character.

Sadly, Wolverine isn't the head Marvel character, anymore. He hasn't even been in a new game in years.

 

[HK-47]

Wasn't SFV getting revealed leaked days before?

Capcom is the leakiest ship in the sea.

 

[christiankid7]

Yeah she is. Here's hoping we luck out and get her this time.

Now I'm hoping this game is 2v2, as I doubt there will be a lot of characters that I'll give a shit about playing as. :lol

Songbird would be incredible.

 

[Effigenius]

By the way am i a bad person for secretly wishing that its a pure Marvel fighting game without the baggage of Capcom characters?

That would be awesome. I wish.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

Wasn't SFV getting revealed leaked days before?

capcom accidentally uploaded the trailer the day before the announcement

 

[Jawmuncher]

By the way am i a bad person for secretly wishing that its a pure Marvel fighting game without the baggage of Capcom characters?

I personally have always wanted the opposite

 

[mjc]

I'd be fine with a Capcom-less fighting game, tbh. Mahvel baby.

 

[Jigorath]

God I hate this Marvel/FOX feud.

 

[Toki767]

Do we at least get Quicksilver?

 

[PK Gaming]

X-Men gone?

But what about Phoenix

 

[Manmademan]

By the way am i a bad person for secretly wishing that its a pure Marvel fighting game without the baggage of Capcom characters?

who would make it?

EA Tried this once and it ended HORRIBLY.

 

[Crocodile]

By the way am i a bad person for secretly wishing that its a pure Marvel fighting game without the baggage of Capcom characters?

Yes. Yes you are. Shame on you!

 

[Kadey]

FGC talk. Don't know if they talked about Marvel yet.

[Spman2099]

Yeah, I am very mixed on this. I started reading comics in the late 80's with fantastic four. Byrne's run was just before my time, but I gathered all those issues up quickly and read them religiously. From there I moved on to X-men. Seeing what Marvel is doing to properties that they own, simply because they are pissy about a deal they agreed to makes me furious.

Ugh. And I am so sick of them pushing the boring-ass Inhumans on us.

Absolutely. I don't care about the Avengers. I don't care about The Guardians of the Galaxy. I care about the X-Men. Those are the heroes that I like. Cyclops, Colossus, and Night Crawler. Those are the characters I want to see.

If there are no X-Men then Capcom is going to have to nail their side of the roster. If they want me to be interested, that is.

 

[Ivan 3414]

I hope Hsien-Ko is back

Spoiler

and not garbage-tier

 

[friskykillface]

I'd love for Sigma to be playable
Hated that boss in the mega man X series, so tough

Do it capcom

 

[OmegaSmash]

Tbh, if MCU is the focus, then most of the Marvel protagonists are a given. I'm far more interested to see who they go for in terms of antagonists.

Thanos
Loki
Ultron
Dormammu
MODOK
Any of the big Spidey villains
Baron Zemo
MCU inspired Winter Soldier
Shuma is possible

Decent variety, I think, from mostly just movie sources.

 

[Skilletor]

who would make it?

EA Tried this once and it ended HORRIBLY.

Capcom? lol.

Marvel Super Heroes 2 would tie in perfectly with Thanos coming back for the infinity gems.

Personally would be my choice, especially if they do 1v1.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Sadly, Wolverine isn't the head Marvel character, anymore. He hasn't even been in a new game in years.

I think people have a hard time grasping Marvel games without X-men characters. Which is funny because they've been missing from their mobile games besides CoC.

 

[Prototype]

Songbird would be incredible.

Song Bird would be really cool.

Also found this old post I made (early 2015) about Sony locking down the FGC by funding MvC4

http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=979994

 

[Seven Force]

I'm actually really interested to see how they'll inevitably adjust the designs for (returning) Capcom characters. Strider w/ the laser scarf design from the reboot would actually be pretty dope. I'm sure if any new RE characters show up, they'll probably either be from or based on their appearance in Revelations 1/2 or RE6.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I'd be fine with a Capcom-less fighting game, tbh. Mahvel baby.

I would be perfectly fine with Capcom vs Capcom. I couldn't care less about the Marvel side.

 

[RedEther]

No X-men is whack but I'll take it rather than not having a new game at all.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I really hope that Nero can join up this time! I think he'd fun as fuck to play as.

 

[cordy]

Just look at the the MvC1, MvC2 and MvC3/U rosters and take out the X-Men on the Marvel side. It's very X-Men heavy so taking them out leaves room for a lot of new and interesting characters people can become fans of. Even if it's a new frontier, that's great news for the future of the franchise. If it does well and fans love it, we'll be seeing more and besides, there's DLC and eventually the X-Men will be back. I don't know about you but if you think about it, say the X-Men were in this game. It would be much harder for newer characters to be introduced. At least this way we'll get them in and then when things are right for the X-Men, they can come back and be just as dope if not doper than before.

I'm not worried about the Marvel side. I'm worried about the Capcom side.

I get a feeling they'll fuck Megaman X over again for no reason and then do the "lol keep playing our game guys we got what you need" crap again. Capcom can't afford to fuck up again.

 

[Already Torn]

Sadly, Wolverine isn't the head Marvel character, anymore. He hasn't even been in a new game in years.

I mean in every single confirmed-to-exist Marvel fighting game

Would it be too much to ask for Capcom to keep TJ Rotolo as his VA?

He can take Chris Redfield's moveset

 

[Spman2099]

I would be perfectly fine with Capcom vs Capcom. I couldn't care less about the Marvel side.

Absolutely. That seems like the better idea, even.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I know the author said that he wasn't even sure about no X-Men being accurate. But I don't think we should count them out just yet. Since there is a rumored UMVC3 port, and I couldn't imagine that they would cut those characters out of UMVC3 port.

It's basically wait and see game for X-Men and F4 being in MVC4 or not but yeah, it's easier to temper your expectation that they wouldn't be in.

 

[dankir]

You could essentially swap some characters to work like the others, like Sentinal can just be Hulkbuster, and Magento could just be Quake. Lack of Deadpool will make me sad tho.

Oh man Hulkbuster level 3 hyper "Goto sleep goto sleep"

Starlord for sure is gonna be a dance off, he does some Michael Jackson shit, thrn he points to the enemy and they try it and fall over" it's an instant anywhere on the screen hyper like Mags level 3.

 

[Ragnar Blackmane]

No Deadpool vs Dante, no buy.

 

[TreIII]

By the way am i a bad person for secretly wishing that its a pure Marvel fighting game without the baggage of Capcom characters?

Hell naw.

A MSH2 that took it back to 1v1, bought back Infinity Gems, and went balls to the walls because you didn't have to worry about toning things down would be just fine by me. Because again, I don't have high hopes for the Capcom side at the moment.

 

[Manmademan]

I mean in every single confirmed-to-exist Marvel fighting game

I don't see Wolverine on this box art....

Spoiler

this is literally the only version of this game with no wolverine on the box art

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

No Black Panther on that poll, but some random obscure, posts? Whoever made that ain't shit!
