I wonder if Capcom will neuter their roster too. Having Ryu but no Wolverine seems weird. I wonder if they'll have the main bad guy excuse some of the main characters on both sides from the plot.

I don't actually mind the idea of culling a large part of the roster to look at new characters.
 
A shame that it would just consist of the MCU characters, don't think there is any character there that I actually like. Then again I also didn't know most of the TvC cast and that game is easily the best VS game Capcom has ever made so there is hope that with some originality some characters could be very fun to play. Hoping Capcom is a bit more out there with their character choices like they were with TvC than they were with UMvC3.

That's a terrible idea.

At least Marvel can somewhat make up for the X Men loss.

Capcom doesn't have as many huge characters/franchises they can sell games on. They have SF, RE, DMC, DR and MH. They really need those Ryus and Akumas to sell the game.

They can't afford to neuter the Capcom side of the roster. That means characters like Strider, Dante, Zero, Wesker, Morrigan have to stay and they have to get in Megaman back.


Remember, any time they put in some obscure character... people are going to riot with "why did they put in Y character over X?" Saw this a million times for Marvel 3.
 
I also wonder if they'll take MCU characters as they are from the movies, or from the comics. I wonder if the Marvel mandate was to push characters like new Thor, Morales Spider-Man, Kamala Khan, RiRi (lol) Iron-Man.

Given Marvel's work with Insomniac I guess it's doubtful.

I don't mean removing franchises. But having Street Fighter represented by someone like Ken or Sagat. Resident Evil by Leon instead of Chris or Jill. That sort of thing.
 
I want to get hype, but then I remember SF5 and realise that even if it exists they'll probably find some way to fuck it up.
 
I'm more upset with Doom not returning, as my team of Strider/Tron Bonne/Dr. Doom (since MVSC2) will feel disjointed. And while I feel indifferent with the lack of mutant characters, I do feel sorry for people that main Wolverine (since his apperance in Children of the Atom) won't be able too.

As for the rumour of this game taking a page from the MCU...I would've liked the game taking more inspiration from the comics, but whatever.
 
So what does Groot do? Die and come back again? Why would anyone be excited for this character? Does he extend tree arms like Dhalsim? That would make him interesting in a game.

Holy shit haha. What if he resurrected like Phoenix but instead came back a Viewtiful Joe sized baby Groot? I'd main him day one for the laughs.

Maybe as a support character he could use himself as a shield against enemy attacks and die. That seems fitting.
 
I wonder if it being MCU based, Marvel throws some money at it & the actual actors do the voice work?


Could be cool.


Well, its not exactly unprecedented, if Behindthevoiceactors is credible

http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/Iron-Man-The-Video-Game/side-by-side/

If Sega could get RDJ and Terrence Howard to voice act in a game...there MIGHT be a shot?

Of course, this was before Iron Man made RDJ so valuable....

But would you really want Holland over Keaton for instance?
 
anyone that expected anything different wasnt paying attention really. Still, lets see what they could pull from if we get with a MCU focus:

Captain America
Ironman
Hulk
Thor
Hawkeye
Vision
Scarlet Witch
Quicksilver
Ultron
Loki
Ghost Rider
Doctor Strange
Ant Man
Wasp
Black Panther
Spider Man
Falcon
Winter Soldier
Daredevil
Luke Cage
Punisher
Iron Fist
Jessica Jones
Starlord
Rocket
Groot
Gamora
Drax
Mantis (in GotG 2)
Nebula
Thanos
Ronin
Valkyrie (in Thor 3)
Nova
Captain Marvel

or, you know, any comic book character they want to push that Fox doesnt have its hands on

Blackbolt
Medusa
Karnak
Ms. Marvel (Kamala)
Gwenpool
Spider Woman (either Gwen or Jessica, probably Gwen)
Howard The Duck
She Hulk

Hell, I wonder if you cn have Doom in his Ironman armor he's using right now lol. Its techniclly not Doctor Doom :3
 
MCU is so fucking awful. If that's what it's going to be, I would rather they just partner with someone else. TvC2, Sega vs Capcom, Bamco vs Capcom, Nintendo vs Capcom, Capcom vs Capcom...

I'm firing this bad boy up to make me feel better.

its the characters they can use in the MCU, it doesnt mean its the MCU likenesses and shit.

PREACH

As much as I like the MCU, these crossover games will just not be the same without X-men :S

Daredevil and J Jones will be fun, though. Also, fuck Phoenix Wright, put Apollo Justice in there, he's DA MAN.
 
MCU is so fucking awful.

People are really jumping all in with this whole idea that live action Marvel doesn't have beam supers or air combos and thus "won't work" as a Marvel vs Capcom game. O_o

There's plenty of Marvel characters outside the Fox ban they can still use. It's not like "MCU" characters are going to be suddenly grounded all of a sudden.
 
They can use MCU characters without using their literal MCU incarnations, lol. They've been doing this in everything from Lego to Disney Infinity.

I hope they go with a cel-shaded Xrd-esque art style.

UMvC3 was ugly as fuck.

It's Ronan, not Ronin. Anyway, the list is far more extensive than that, since you were skipping a lot of the villains, and some others. You forgot:
Black Widow
Yondu
War Machine
Rescue (arguably)
Iron Monger
Whiplash
Savin
Mandarin
Quake
Deathlok
Mockingbird
Nick Fury
Kingpin
Gladiator
Nuke
Hellcat
Purple Man
Elektra
Colleen Wing
Misty Knight
Cottonmouth
Diamondback
Shades
Malekith
Kurse
Klaw
Red Skull
Baron Strucker
Baron Zemo
Crossbones
Kraken
Hive
Agent 13
Sif
Fandral
Volstagg
Hogun
Odin
Lorelei
Hela (in Thor 3)
Mordo
Ancient One
Wong
Kaecillius
Dormammu
Yellowjacket
Vulture (villain in Homecoming)
Cloak & Dagger (if that planned show is part of the MCU at least)
Black Bolt (there'll be an Inhumans show featuring the royals once SHIELD ends)
Medusa
Crystal
Gorgon
Triton
Karnak
 
Uhm, you cant just answer honestly this type of qestions. What should they say? "It's in development but please don't tell anyone"


He didnt have to answer. All he had to do was say:

"Cant comment on rumor or speculation". Done. Reps for companies do this all the time.
 
As a horror fan, I'm legitimately curious how many Resident Evil characters are going to be in this one. With it and Street Fighter being Capcom's flagship series right now, and with RE as the only series Capcom is releasing consistent games for currently (not to mention they've recently been describing the RE characters as 'Superheroes' in most interviews), it'll probably have the second most Capcom representation after Street Fighter. Curious who they'll pick (obviously Wesker will be one due to his popularity, in general and in the last Marvel vs Capcom game). I'll bet it'll have 3-5 characters, probably 4.

Wesker and Jill seem like safe bets since they already have movesets in mvc3 they can port and touch up, my guess is either RE7's protagonist or Leon for a third playable if RE gets 3.
 
If it comes to characters like Deathlok, will it be based on the comic version, or am I gonna be playing as Gunn from Angel in his crappy Deathlok costume?

They always use the comic book versions in these games.

Hawkeye in Marvel 3 isn't the MCU Avengers Hawkeye but the comic book version with purple circus outfit.


And some of you guys are listing some third rate Marvel characters in here. Honestly I doubt they will be using any character that isn't in Marvel Heroes or Contest of Champions.
