Someone explain to me, why would you want the new characters to have the same moveset of old characters from the previous games? Isn't better to have something completely new?

From Capcom's perspective, they may not want to let so many unique playstyles go to waste.

Thinking about the roster, if we assume the roster is the same size as MVC3, removing the X-men and FF character leaves a whopping 9 slot sized hole in the cast, which btw already has an overwhelming MCU presence (most characters would just need a tune up visually and to some moves like a new lvl3 for hawkeye and a reworked moveset for rocket), so if everyone [who is not XM or FF] from MVC3 returns, they could still add 9 MCU or new characters before they even break the number of characters MVC3 had, and since this is marvel, it's very likely the roster will be bigger.

So im very optimistic about most everyone coming back, specially since updating the characters from MVC3 would probably be cheaper than starting from scratch.

The only one i fear they could axe for being too silly is modok.

Deadpool CAN be used either way, Marvel has his game rights. It's just a question of whether or not Marvel sees him as worth putting in over a character whose film appearances they can profit from.

Honestly, I think the best thing would be if the game had no FF or X-Men characters EXCEPT for Deadpool... and he frequently commented on that fact.

Deadpool hasn't been in a post-CoC game for just as long as Wolverine. Hell, Marvel Future Fight had to use Gwenpool as a substitute.

Deadpool's just as screwed as the other Fox characters. And the worst part, She-Hulk won't get her runback with Deadpool in MvC4 (if She-Hulk even shows up).

Polygon's article? Seems like they were going by speculation instead on information given to them for that portion of the article.

Cause while fans love the idea of a new iteration, they just really want the old movesets they are used to. Its a shame really, cause one of the most exciting things about Marvel 4, to me, is that we might get a huge injection of new cast members & moves on the Marvel side.

This is going to force the dev team to really flesh out the Marvel side of the roster, which is something that did happen to a certian extent, but not nearly as much as it did on the Capcom side of things last go around. I'm super excited to see some Inhumans, some newer Marvel characters, and some not so often seen Avengers & all of their respective villains in action. There is so much gameplay potential in some of the potential new cast members. Black Bolt alone gets me excited.
 
Honestly hard for me to get hyped without at least Wolverine. You gotta have Wolverine. The game is going to feel incomplete.
 
look man, if blade is in it i'll be happy

i wish they'd give a little breathing room for bendis' x-kids. young cyclops would be cool.

Then I just hope the devs don't listen to these fans. I mean yeah, they lost some of their of favorite characters, but that's no reason for the new roster to play very similar to the old one.
 
I never really gave a crap about the Xmen or Fantastic four so this doesnt hurt me.

As long as I still get She-hulk again I'm good.
 
Another reason I believe the roster will be smaller is because of the rumor that it will be 2 vs. 2. With a reduced team count, there will still be team variety (lol probably not) at least available to players. I just don't see them going over or near the size of UMVC3s roster.

I'm bummed about Wolverine, since he was one of my alternatives on my regular team. Plus, I assume Doom and other Fanatastic Four characters would be excluded as well.

That being said, I'd love to be able to play as newer or more popular current Marvel characters like Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl (hopefully as a secret boss). And I imagine Captain Marvel and Black Panther are guarantees due to their movies coming up. Maybe we could even get Black Bolt and Medusa or Netflix/TV characters like Daredevil, Punisher, and Luke Cage.

Agreed. It isn't Mahvel without that berserker barrage.

my dream cast now would include:
Wolverine
Ken. He is different from Ryu. I will fisticuffs with any man on this.
Black Panther
Jessica Jones
Jin
Jubei Yagyu (which will never happen)
Akuma.
 
I'm just happy about the possible inclusion of Daredevil, Thanos (return), Groot, and Black Panther.

RIP Dreams:
Sentry, Nightcrawler, Magik, Silver Surfer.

I really want to know about MvC4 already!!!! I need to know if Gene/Asura made it in. ;______;
 
Are you listening Capcom? My MvC4 Team will be

Bass (Classic Version)
Daredevil
Winter Soldier

You can add whoever else you want as long as I get those three (Also wondering if anyone else prefers Bass to Zero. I've always preferred Bass, both classic and EXE, to Zero but I get the feeling most do not)
 
I love the idea of Bucky/Winter Soldier, but I fear they'll just make him a Spencer/Bionic Commando clone (minus the morphing arm attacks).
 
That's a shit idea.

Palette swaps back in the day were lame, and now this is what some are actually asking for? No thanks!

Really don't need MCU heavily inspiring the Versus games. The point of these were dream matches with fan service. Dropping X-Men or not including, say, Kamala because she has no movie is dumb. I'm all for Gamora, Groot or a few other characters coming in due to MCU popularity, but over X-Men? Over Wolverine? Just seems absurd. Might as well drop Ryu and the SF faces.
 
The more I think about this the more it doesn't sit well with me

Doing this game without wolverine and the rest of the x men would be like doing a new street fighter without ryu and ken, not because capcom couldn't but merely because they had licensed those two characters out years ago for that crappy movie and now they wanted to make a new street fighter movie and out of spite refuse to acknowledge their existence

Lucas was not a big fan of Fox, but they got along and worked together for the inclusion of a new hope in every release of the Star wars collection, despite that being the only movie fox has publishing for. Imagine buying the complete saga, but it missing the first movie in the original trilogy

This would be a different story if Fox was still putting out shit movies with these characters sure, but between the new xmen pseudo trilogy and deadpool they have done some amazing stuff rebuilding the brand after origins wolverine and xmen 3. Fantastic four was shit but indications that had more with Josh trank "tranking" himself and fucking up. Trank was a great choice coming off of Chronicle, dude just refused to come down off coke mountain

Again, it's not literally "MCU only" Kamala's chances are quite good.
 
Seeing some of these character lists just makes me sad. Talk about some boring shit. Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are no replacement for Doom and Magneto, sorry.
