If Mega Man is not in this again I'm sure there will be riots.
The X costume for Zero does not count...If we can only have one character, Zero > X.

When you try to log into SFV for the first time on a PSN account, it'll ask you to input a CFN name. That name becomes your CFN account. On PSN, your PSN account name & your CFN account name become permanently tied I believe. By exploiting the previous bug of being able to sign into someone's CFN account by just inputting the same name, you might be able to circumvent the system that way. Just a thought.

That seems like a lot of work for a problem that shouldn't even exist in the first place, to be honest. I appreciate you trying to help though.

Still, I'll probably just avoid all Capcom fighters that are account locked on PS4. That shit ain't acceptable to me.

Oh no lol, It's not that I have any knowledge.

I just have this incredibly strong feeling that even if this game is coming out, it's surely not getting announced this year.

But still, now you guys all got me hyped for it and I'm just imaging how awesome such a game would be, especially after seeing the amazing animations and character models in SF5.
 
Okay finally caught up on this thread in it's entirety.

Nevermind. #TeamReal after picking up on some breadcrumbs I missed not reading the first time. I know it's real when it brings people like MTHanded out of the woodwork
and me
to get hype lol Nothing is as strong as the MvC hype train with how many Marvel fans are on this forum
except Smash Bros. probably, s/o to the Smash Community's passion.

I don't know if I have the stamina for this anymore y'all. During the MvC3 hype train I was procrastinating studying for my undergrad exams and bathing myself in urley hype instead. Now I'm in waist deep in grad school and barely have time to play games anymore let alone post about them but I really want to join in on the wishlisting and arguing based on nuggets of half-truths on character inclusions and in tweets all over again :(

Now that it seems like there is some rumour vetting going on and it might actually happen, there are so many things I'm excited to learn about:

  • What artstyle will they use and how will they use more powerful hardware to embrace it?
  • The Marvel Games people are way too savvy and MvC-fans not to let MSS and X-Men character staples in, right? There hasn't been that much turnover in recent years for them to not go out of their way to ensure that the series' integrity is respected in the roster, right?
  • Will MvC4 give us a peek into the future of properties Marvel wants to push the same way MvC3 was disturbingly prophetic about?
  • Has Capcom learned from their MvC3-specific mistakes? Specifically:
    • Will it be supported as a service, thus avoiding a lot of the patching and content issues that arose post-launch for MvC3?
    • Will there be safeguards for exploiting histstun deterioration beyond reasonable amounts and will the game achieve a sweet-spot for the upper limit of how long combos are?
    • How will they evolve X-Factor into a new mechanic that can create the same dramatic momentum shifts but be a bit fairer and make the outcome of the match less dependent around this mechanic? I'm sure Dahbomb and Karst and co. have more to add here. Of course this is assuming that X-Factor stays, but I think more generally we all will expect some sort of "comeback mechanic" that defines the flow of gameplay moreso than traditional fighting game mechanics.
    • How will they address the lack of story mode [promises] in both MvC3 and SFV and what format will that take?
  • How many characters, and what is the proportion between quirky picks, series veterans, fan requests, and characters to help promote other properties? This is an absurdly fine balance that simultaneously manages to fulfill people's dreams and disappoint, but ALSO, without fail, always manages to breed new favourites in characters (i.e. Spencer) you didn't know you could grow to love. It's always fascinating to see how new fighting games approach this. I find myself valuing a higher proportion of quirky picks (for some reason they're always missing from roster wishlists too even though it's quite explicitly MvC tradition?), for instance, but I also don't really hold high preferences for certain characters to be in vs. not in.
  • What will be the concessions they make this time around for newcomers? Will it be in controls? Specific character difficulty (i.e. Spider-Man & Iron Man easier to play than they were in MvC3)? Modes?

Oh god what have I done, I've stepped onto the hype train without even knowing it.

I was certainly demanding Cyclops to the end...

If they somehow got Wolverine, Deadpool, Gambit, Psylocke, Cyclops, Cable, Rogue, Storm, Magneto, and Sentinel into the game by the end of its lifespan, by most X-Men fans that play MvC games would probably be happy.

Nightcrawler would be nice too.
 
I feel predicting new capcom characters is harder then new marvel characters since Capcom doesn't really have many untapped ip in the vs universe.
 
The thing, to me, that screams fake about that image is that it seems like the 4 is based off of the x-factor icon in UMVC3s hud.

And theres no reason to think that x-factor will return, as it was a marvel 3 only mechanic that would most likely be replaced with something new in a theoretical marvel 4.
 
As for Xmen i only see Wolverine, Deadpool, Storm,Magneto, Sentinel, and the inclusion of Cyclops. He has to make it in with all the damn important arcs he is in.

I recall people stating that the same GAFer who posted those uploaded the photos almost immediately after one another.

All three images were posted within less than five minutes of hitting imgur, and at that time they had no reverse image search results.

What this means is that David_hayter was uploading them to imgur himself and posting them here while passing them off as being "found".

EDIT: Again, not saying that means they are definitely fake, but if someone links to a 2-minute old Reddit leak post with no replies you can safely assume you know who made the post, right?

Well, there's always Asura's Wrath, Dragon's Dogma and Monster Hunter.

Maybe the girl from Remember Me if they're really desperate, lol.
