[RUMOR] Marvel vs Capcom Infinite roster leaked

Rumored list has too few characters than I was expecting. Also sucks that the Capcom side has only 3 (up to 4 if you give them the unknown one) new characters compared to Marvel's 6.
 
With so few characters, I hope they find a way to make the historically bad VS characters good. I know this game is a much different formula than MvC 2 and 3 so maybe characters like Chun and Ryu will be better.
 
And again, we have some reason to believe Capcom CAN use non-MCU characters, but it's more likely to manifest in DLC.

I believe we have Sigma and 5 other DLC characters coming in the first batch of MVC:I DLC.

Only took 4 games to finally kill Shuma but there it is.

Really terrible representation overall even if i love Venom.

Yeah I don't know how they can put Dr. Strange in a game when there's no Shuma Gorath.

Capcom just has twisted priorities. Maybe he's DLC again.
 
They're so obviously holding back people like Vergil and Black Panther to sell as DLC. Pretty annoying. Who gives a shit about Arthur and Nova.

I wouldn't be as mad if we were getting more DLC characters with the $30 Season Pass, but it's just 6 of them, it doesn't feel like much for a 2v2 game. They should release at least 10 more characters during year 1 in my opinion.
 
If that is real that is ass. I mean the Marvel side is fine as I got the ones I care about the most. (Strange, Nova, Spiderman)

But the Capcom side is ass tier to say the least. Plus Marvel side really needs Daredevil...

Either way if this comes to fruition I may pass until a GOTY edition or some ish. Given Capcom's last offering with a fighter I am extremely skeptical , and the initial MvC3 was one of the worst slaps in the face since UMvC3 came not even a full year later and was barebones to hell and back. Throw in a "meh" roster and it's a tough sell to me.

If what we've seen is any indication, MvCI is using hella assets from UMC3

It is.

MVC3 is the only Marvel vs Capcom game in existence that did not. But if you're gonna complain about Infinite doing it, know that MVC2 was utterly littered with it.

And Infinite has at least changed some things. MVC2 were straight rips.

Maybe animation call outs for the charcters moves. But the backgrounds and character models (Ryu may be from SFV) are definitely new as terrible as the art direction makes them look. The characters in MVC3 are worse but the cell shading effect helps them a ton.
 
I long for the day Perlmutter no longer has any control over Marvel.

Gimme Marvel Super Heroes 2 with a huge fuckin' roster and a great story mode. Shit like Captain America & Ms. Marvel vs Quake & Ghost Rider.

It's about roster, not balance.

Balance impacts roster usage immensely.

You could play 50 games of the XBL version of Marvel 2 and run into Sentinel shells like 45 times.

Competitively we saw like 10 or fewer characters see play, some only used there as assists, in the years before Marvel 3.

True in regards to the backgrounds and models. But MVCI looks fucking ugly. Like not far off from looking like a phone game. Celshading would have helped a lot. In fact, in one of the threads someone did mock-ups with cel shading effects and the game looked infinitely (lol) better.

I mean that's true but a lot of those also came from other games as well. But isn't it also a little disingenuous to compare this to a game that came out almost 2 decades ago?

This thread is purely about the roster that is in MvCI. A majority of people that played MvC2 and that will play MvCI will not be impacted by broken characters. A majority of people played MvC2 with the fondest memories of a large roster of diverse characters from the Marvel and Capcom universe.
 
I'm interested in seeing what Monster Hunter, Jedah & Gamora are gunna be like but overall not feeling this list at all. Really surprised/disappointed at the lack of Black Panther & Ms Marvel. No Gene either, personally my most wanted Capcom character. I really enjoyed a lot of the less obvious characters that showed up in MvC3 like Viewtiful Joe & Phoenix Wright & MODOK. Nothing new here that's anything like that.

If we talking diviersity in characters no mvc game is beating 3 in that aspect tbh.

Such a sad looking roster.

4 females
Not even one black character (Black Panther)
Not enough capcom franchise diversification

I'll be waiting for DLC unless something changes.

Bet you that they'll do a cross promo with the new BP movie...

Is that 2018? If it is then probably DLC. If not then still DLC but sooner.
