To be fair, no Fox characters has been expected by those who kept up with Marvel Entertainment's recent actions (myself included) for a while. It's wasn't exactly hard to guess.

If Apollo gets in this game then someone fucked up
I would lose my shit if Cable is in.
Imagine if the trailer just ends with a voice clip of HYPER.. VIPER..
Then I can recreate my team of Cable, Iron Man and Ruby Hea- oh =[
Brother I've been praying for cable. I know I'll never get my ahvb back but damn.
Storm/cable/cyke all day

I pointed that out too earlier. I was just kinda joking in that post, lol.
Still, it's good to be sure.

They should put X-Man in instead of Cable.
I don't know, guys. Marvel Entertainment's broken my spirit too many times. I want to believe in the mutants 'cause I actually want them to come back, but we've seen numerous times that Ike Perlmutter doesn't really care about what the fans want. Hopefully Capcom can pull a miracle on this one.

I think it's funny how in the span of like 3 days we've all gone from "holy shit this game is actually getting made" to "holy shit it better have the X-Men"
The X-Men have been a part of the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise since the very beginning. To have them ditch the Fox characters at this point would be an absolute dick move on Marvel Entertainment's part, but wouldn't be unheard of given that it's Ike Perlmutter we're talking about.
We won't blame you if you can't make it happen, Capcom (at least those of us who know better won't), but at least try.

Thinking about it, having both Dantes in would be great. Have classic based off of the DMC3 character and New Dante focus on the Angel/Demon moves in DmC. Classic would have more frame specific inputs whereas new would be focused on being more approachable.

Even though Ono has nothing to do with Marvel, what if he asked Marvel to use the X-Men characters on behalf of Capcom? Surely they wouldn't be able to resist his charm with that Blanka toy and broken English, right?

I'll be there for Day 1 of the Xmen dlc.

Did we play the same AA5? Apollo is the least relevant character in that game. I know he gets a bigger focus in 6 (need to finish) but he's the b story to Phoenix's plotline.

I'm confused, people are saying Lupinko is hinting at X-Men characters while Polygon explicitly states there will be no X-Men character.
Guess we'll find out this weekend

They said their sources weren't concrete on the X-men characters being missing. So they didn't exactly "explicitly" state it.

that sounds terrible.
Here's where my concern comes from. We can presume that the ban started after Contest of Champions' developer got their contract. If MvC4 is indeed coming in 2017, then it must have started development sometime in 2015 if we assume that it had 2 years of development. They must have signed the contract sometime in early 2015 if they're gonna get the game out in 2017. Unless Capcom somehow managed to convince Marvel to let them use the Fox characters, the chances of there being Fox characters are hella unlikely. Believe me, I do want the likes of Wolverine, Deadpool, & Doctor Doom back. But given the events that transpired, I don't feel so hopeful. The only scenario that I could see that Marvels squeezed in some Fox characters at the last minute was if they somehow managed to renegotiate the initial contract they made with Marvel when Marvel's relationship with Fox started to improve.

I'm extremely down for 2v2 with separate assists. As a Lei Lei fan, balancing characters based on how good their assists are can go to fucking hell.

Polygon didn't say no X-Men characters, it said focus on MCU properties instead of stuff like X-Men.

Didn't one of the rumors say 2018 and that the game started as capcom vs ??? Before becoming mvc4? Perhaps the capcom half of the roster was more or less finished while shopping for a cross over when marvel happened.
Cyclops and especially Gambit are two X-Men characters I never would have pegged to see again in MvC, so that's making me think these are deconfirm tweets, if they're anything at all.
Believe me I will lose my shit if these characters are in the game.
But now Polygon is saying that the game is coming out in 2017.

I will cry if I see Asura/Gene in the trailer..
I saw a few matches of MVC3 recently and it reminded me why I got put off with that game. Balance. SFV is proof enough that a fighting game which is based more around player matchups rather than character matchups is still very fun and enjoyable to play. No more infinities and the awful X-factor please.
You are out of your mind. There are only so many characters you can have and DmC dante would be a waste of a slot. They want to actually sell and the original Dante does just that. I expect Dante & Vergil to be here.
didn't they literally use the phrase "sit this one out" regarding X-men?
I felt that there was a bunch of stuff with Apollo, especially in the last two cases. Everything with
his friend being killed and suspecting Athena.
case 1, case 5 and half of case 4.
Edgeworth
As for AA6, I'm only on case 2 but I do know that there's a bunch with him.
I don't believe they had concrete info regarding mutants. Just to not get our hopes up. But lupinko has teased returning mutants
Capcom leaving X out again would be a slap to the face of fans. Are they really stupid enough to ignore and not care that he's the most wanted character on Capcom's side? It's been this way since MvC2 and it's only gotten worse since pre-MvC3 release. If they don't put him in it'll just continue to get worse and people will continue to want him in over other character. He's a guaranteed character they know people want. Hell, that X skin on Zero was bullshit tbh. If he's not included it's just a "wtf are you serious?" kind of thing again. It's best to get him in so people won't be upset and see how he does rather than us going through the process like we do for each of these games.
As much as I want to believe, (as mentioned earlier) it could be taken as an eulogy for those X-characters or a confirmation.
Now the suspense is killing me for PSX. I need to know!!!!

I have a strong feeling X will be in this time around. It's his time.

for variety I would rank them (as many as I can remember)
1. Mattie Franklin: HAHAHAHAHA, like Marvel'd ever remember her, but still she has 4 extra psionic spider-legs and uses the abilities of the other spider-women (so anything Jessica and Julia can do, she can and more)
2. Jessica Drew: Has pheromones and venom blasts, flies, doesn't do anything Peter does.
3. Julia Carpenter: Psionic Webbing. But she's Madame Web now so....
4. Anya: Originally, She had an exoskeleton and stuff. I don't remember what it did though
4. Mayhem/Earth X May Parker: Spider-woman but with a symbiote
5. Lady Spider: 4 extra limbs, no Spider-powers at all, tons of Victorian era tech
6. Mayday Parker: She has low level "magnetism" powers, meaning she can stick to walls AND stick OTHERS to walls plus repel them.
7. Silk: She shoots webbing out of her fingertips or something
8.Gwen: she doesn't really stand out when it comes to variety. Just the hoodie.
9. Ashley Barton: Though I'm drawing a blank on what she actually does.
10. Betty Brant: just to make an even 10
The newest is RYV Mary Jane: too new to rate variety, but I think she still has Regent's ( copy any heroes abilities) suit
Miguel O'Hara is the best...the BEST choice if we're going for Alternate Spider-men.

The X-Men are the final boss of the game and each one you kill gets deleted from your game
That is obviously not "bomba" or whatever that means. 1.4 million might be less than thier predicted 2 million but it's still a healthy number - otherwise it wouldn't be included in Capcom's "platinum" titles. Fighters like GG Xrd, KOF14 and BlazBlue would only dream to have those kind of sales and now with Capcom Cup and season two coming up, SFV will continue to grow even further.
The lack of X-men sounds crazy. Yes there is the issue between Disney and Fox but aren't the X-men characters and Spider-man really the main characters on the Marvel side that get used? Maybe some Doom gets added in there. To the point where the games really should be called X-men vs Capcom to better reflect how the game is played?
Im glad I don't play story or arcade mode.

I remember when Niitsuma said he and Marvel were considering putting in a non-hero/villain in MVC3, but never got around to it. It made me wonder what he meant. Probably Jonah Jameson. I wonder if that concept might be explored this time around.
There was also something about a character that messed up the time or something that had to be scrapped. I really couldn't figure out who that was supposed to be.

Yeah no xmen would be heartbreaking but I rather the game be made. I think capcom has to have something up their sleeve. At least letting them use those characters, It would have to do with marketing, and just putting them in the background. NOW talking about new picks Medusa, Quake, and Songbird would be solid picks.
I would also like Howard the duck just because have him kinda imitate other charcters as his moveset. I think Shuma gorath would have a slot only because I remember for 3 capcom wanted him there even though marvel didnt.But now Dr.Strange is popular he would look perfect on the roster.
Now my biggest concern so far is the 2v2 rumor, I would prefer 3v3 but whatever as long as the game gets made.
