I feel like we are in the Denial stage
We've been there with SFV, launch isn't everything.
Post release support, contents and the game's FGC presence depends on active user base. Even when Capcom aim for 2 million launch, they have another completely different number for the amount of active players that make post launch support viable. MvCI tanked hard, but we don't know if three to six months from now, the number of active players who will be there for the DLC isn't going to be enough for Capcom to keep supporting the game.
Edit: I feel like I made this same exact post at least 10 times, between SFV and MvCI(maybe even Monster Hunter) on Gaf and other places. ;p
Some great ideas. Menat and Juri ones are my fave.

What times are the costumes dropping?
I hope you get a job at Capcpom.
I'll take this one if you make Juri's current theme the stage theme and give her a new remix of her SF4 theme. I actually like her current theme but it doesn't feel like a "character theme" at all (not nearly energetic enough). I think the fact that it sounds so low-key and muted would work great in your stage idea because it already sounds like club music thumping from a nearby building.
So it's not just a grab you need, you need the actual motion to go with it?

Reminder that Ryce predicted ALL the anniversary costumes perfectly.
Yes. Probably because i only played T.Hawk in USF4 and i've just gotten used to it.
To hell with those half circles
It's pretty vague but Alex is the Illuminati's chosen one or something. In one of the endings (Gill's?) his skin turns blue and red like Gill's.

I mean, you could also tell folks to look no further then Mass Effect Andromeda.
It's hinted that Alex is actually a descendant of the Illuminati and is related to Gill and Urien in some way. If you want theories, then there's a theory that Alex is actually the true Chosen One that the Illuminati prophesied, not Gill.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
That theory is full of hogwashes since Alex always get stuck in low tier. Look at Urien.
X-Kira dropping tons of hints for future DLC contents on his facebook page in the last few hours. Most interestingly to me, he said a new Shadaloo stage is coming, the stormy grass stage from Alpha 2 is making a comeback (along with Detroit Highway stage), and mentioned something about English and sticks (might he be hinting Eagle, but who knows).
Since when did tiers affect the story? Alex was low tier in SF3 and he was the main character.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
It was a joke that he wasn't strong enough to be a true chosen one. And Urien was implied to be Chosen one and he was constantly placed at higher tier.
Where does Jean Reno fit into all of this?
Ah sorry, my bad. Not in a good mood at the moment so took it a bit too literally
No idea for sure but Urien hates Tom, so there's history there.
He only outright said that a "New" (I'm guessing he meant Neo) Shadaloo stage is coming, and he sort of hinted at stages for Kolin and Menat. The Alpha stage pictures are probably just requests/speculation since they're not accompanied by text.

It replaces all music from the game with Remy's theme.

New Generation stage in SFV? No way that's happening. Capcom doesn't acknowledge the existence of anything past SFII and 3rd Strike.
I really want Ken's 2nd Impact Stage instead
I hope X-Kira isn't letting more bullshit wishlisting fly just because he nailed the content in today's update.
What happened with Andromeda?!
Oh! I see, yea, Andromeda is a better example of the type of game/DLC model Capcom is aiming for with MvCI than SFV, pack it up boys!

That would be devastating so I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
Tanked hard, season pass was supposed to include a story DLC about one of the missing arks.
EA saw the sales, said fuck that and ceased all future DLC

That's weird. If work was done on the story DLC I would think they'd release it regardless of sales.
What are you on? We have 4 SF3 characters (Urien, Alex, Ibuki and Kolin) in this game and they all have their nostalgia costumes and themes reimagined.

I think he meant between SFII and 3S, but not including the characters themselves. Second impact does have some nice music and stages that are worth considering for whatever SF3 characters are coming in season 2. Ken can keep the meh New York stage and we can get Alex's second impact stage, but we eventually have to get Akuma's 3S stage, though. It is a crime against SF that it hasn't been remade in SFV.
Now that is a good point.

Wow jett, thought you'd given up on this game. See you're using my tech now.
GG's man. Try mixing in your jump ins with heavies more often. You let me get away with lazy jab anti airs and could have blown that up for big damage.
Also, DBF is the future if Namco provides a good tournament circuit. Dragon Ball's influence itself already gives it a good amount of potential and Capcom's fumbling will only make it easier for them to sneak in and take the reigns. Not everyone has time to play multiple games competitively, so people are going to gravitate to what's the most fun/best netcode/money/aesthetically pleasing.

use a program called pak mod manager to combine it into a .pak
I don't play much, I'm just interesting in giffing its animations at the moment.
Thanks!

Please make some Kolin gifs too, preferably of her cr.hk (stay crouched so that the full recovery animation plays)I don't play much, I'm just interesting in giffing its animations at the moment.
Thanks!
Also some gifs of Ed's complete animations, that motherfucker has some amazing recovery animations.

Sorry for vagueness, there is a couple of parallels one can draw between the two titles. While one is an RPG (Andromeda) and the other is a Fighting game (MVCI). One of the those I can see is the reception both got.
Andromeda's reception wasn't good, and though Andromeda's reception is mainly due to buggy engine overall, something I don't believe MvCI suffers from, MvCI reception fell flat on it's face from more of a political stand point.
Which is pretty fascinating IMO. Since the gameplay for both is different, I believe the reception itself doesn't necessarily cut through the same type of cake, the negative press has had an impact on sales from both ends of the spectrum. Andromeda released March 21 so we can see how well it has faired post launch support. This is something I'm fearful for MvCI is the post launch support. I do genuinely believe what you said, MvCI should have a player base to support it, but does Marvel care to actually give into player demands for a better roster? If this game doesn't sell well, I do not believe it'll get post-launch support.
If I ever get this shit working, which I'm not lol. Maybe this green screen mod is too old to work for the current game.

I just wanna see all the colours for that F.A.N.G costume.
Goddamn it Capcpom got me excited to spend money wtf that hasn't happened since before the game launched.

Thats the honeymoon dopamine talking. We all know you're overdue for a ritualistic uninstalltion of the game 😛

There's a big difference here: ME has no outside source of income like MvC potentially does. There aren't tournaments for ME's multiplayer, or esports events, or whatever. They rely on game sales and DLC with a massive budget, whereas MvC, like SFV, can get by with promotional esports monies being dumped on its head, longtail sales from being a fighting game, and already hosting a pretty small budget.
It'll probably be the second most watched game (not including Smash titles), so Marvel probably wants to get in on the groundfloor of esports to get more eyes on their products. I feel like unless the esport side flounders, and their hail maries stop working (like pushing it on black friday, during commericals and shit, releasing wanted dlc, a new edition etc), this game will get support. It might be more on Capcom's bucks though.
Looking at your link, even though the game bombed hard enough for EA to cancel the single player DLC, the part of the game people are still playing(multiplayer) is still being supported, if anything, this strengthen my case for "keeping support for the active player base" more than it hurts it!

I wonder if they were made by the same artist

I also mentioned 3rd Strike.
I would love to see stages and music from the Alpha stages, New Generation and 2nd Impact.
