i was looking at the logic behind the char placements on the char select screens for vanilla and umvc3 and i just realized something fucking crazy about ultimate's. i knew they were sorted vertically more or less, with some horizontal matches but i never made the connection that the capcom rows all actually have connecting themes outside of chars who share the same series.

starting from the left:

row 1: monsters + hunters (re+vsav)
row 2: platformers (gargoyle's quest, ghouls n' goblins, megaman X, legends, bionic commando, final fight)
row 3: regular people (with or without tools)
and then row 4: is the clover row featuring phoenix wright, which has a character voiced by kamiya

row 3 is pretty iffy but i think it's a leftover of just having so many SF chars stuffed into a row. like how strange happens to be in the villain row on the marvel side, with shuma above him because he's a DLC char

edit:
also you can tell where each hidden character is located on the vanilla char select screen based on that logic. i love that small shit, man
sentinel is on the bottom right because that's where all the x-men characters are lined up
hsienko is on the bottom left because there's where all the vsav chars are

by elimination akuma is on top left, slightly mis-aligned with the SF chars and taskmaster is on top right secret char slot, because Why Not I Guess All The Villains Are Close Enough

Yeah Rashid would be sick and makes the most sense if you're going to have a V rep.

I agree, but whether you believe the smaller roster rumours or not, I think it's reasonable to expect a smaller roster than MvC3, and I think limiting the number of SF reps is a good place to start. There were still 4 in MvC3. Ryu is obviously not going anywhere, but I think Chun will stay too. Makes it hard to justify more after that TBH.

Holy shit, had no idea Kamiya voiced Godot.

Of course it's Godot lol

If Phoenix isn't in this because he's too anime for MCU I'll be so pissed.
 
C'mon guys, we're almost there.

Enjoy/Suffer through whatever you gotta do for your Friday. Relax. Play other games, if you gotta.

Then let the hype flow through you on Saturday!
 
I don't know why they would start from scratch. They can easily port staple characters from 3 with some adjustments and no one would complain.

Tons of people would complain. You have people to this day saying sf5 looks like sf4 and that's built from the ground up.
 
Would it be too much to ask for Wasp even though/if we're already getting AntMan? I just think with her projectiles and flight, along with size changing and insect control, she'd be more fun

though I could see Q-Bee working a bit similarly. (maybe rivals with AntMan?)

I mean, not if we're getting 24 characters or anything

Too similar in terms of character

That's cause Capcom went with the same blocky artstyle of character models for SFV. But even if they didn't, how different did they expect the staple cast to look? Have they played any fighter with iterations before?

Marvel 3 had a beautiful artsyle direction, I want to see them continue with it.
 
I guess I could see Ada taking classic Jill's moveset?

Wesker and Chris/Leon are probably locks for RE reps. Nemesis is probably gone, but there's a part of me that would love to see him back.
 
116 pages tho

raw
 
Here let's solve this right now:

Wesker (not his shitty son)
Leon and Claire or
Chris and Jill

I'd prefer Leon/Claire as they haven't appeared in mahvel

A little OT, but I've never actually watched Pulp Fiction will the way through. As mentioned way back in this thread, I just started Lego Avengers and nearly every cutscene with Fury has him sipping what looked like a shake or slurpee and it just dawned on me it's a reference to that. Sorry just had to mention that.

Don't worry, we'll be getting all the missing characters in Cinematic Marvel vs. Capcom - Battle for Infinite Worlds a year or two after the original release..

They'd still go for consistent asset quality from a technical standpoint (artistic is another story).

Capcom has been guilty of inconsistent asset quality in their fighting games many many times in the past.
 
For the Resident Evil characters I think it's gonna come down to:

Jill
Chris
Nemesis
Leon
Wekser
Jake

I'm expecting 3-4 of them making it in (following UMvC3's rule of 4). I really hope Nemesis shows up again though, because he's more iconic than Wesker IMO.
 
My nephew's cousin's brother's wife works at Capcom and this is the RE character we will have in MvC4.

Replace Jake with Claire and you'd pretty much have the essentials.
