Well, we know he's not the director or producer (Norio Hirose and Michael Evans respectively) but maybe hes advising or something.

Maybe his job is to promote the game?
Or he's just trolling lol

You guys listing long stretchy dudes or clunky slow robots are missing the point yet again. Especially the Groot/Nemesis references... like these dudes don't have ANY air mobility whatsoever
What makes Sentinel appealing to play with is the fast fly/unfly mechanics combined with fast limbs for zoning all while gaining the air superiority over the opponent (ie. stomping on their heads while doing fly bys). These mechanics would kinda be broken on most other characters but because he's a big target in the air it makes it sort of work out. That's what makes it interesting, he's a surprisingly agile big character.
Phobos is much closer but he's on the Capcom side and he's a bit more rushdown centric than Sentinel.

This. Phobos has the air pressure,laser drone lockdown,pressure that pushes you on top of traps, Armor and more. Hes the best playstyle alternate to sentinel. He isn't marvel though.
Best substitute sentinel to hope for is likely Hulkbuster Ironman as its own character. It's not like it wasn't already the biggest thing they had to merchandise and promote in other games already. It showed up on EVERYTHING.

Phobos would be cool as hell, hopefully they bring in some of the more visually interesting Darkstalkers like him or Raptor/Jedah/Pyron and won't just settle for Morrigan/Felicia.

I was bad dissapointed when Morrigan was announced again. Such an anti hype character. So many darkstalkers to choose from and they use her.

I mean, at this point she's a vet of these games, she's been a character in every MvC game so far. She's like Ryu. Doesnt mean they won't use other characters from DS
Pretty much to be expected, but still.
Edit: it appears to be fake.
No DMC5 so obviously fake.
Being disappointed at Morrigan being shown to rep DS is like being disappointed at them revealing Ryu as the first SF rep.
You can totally dislike the character, but don't pretend they would put anybody from DS first over the face of the franchise.

Every bump makes me anxious. 
Any news on that toy line?

I sincerely doubt Felicia is actually coming back. They reduced Morrigan's bust size; you think they'll let a half naked catgirl into the game?

Just watched this

Marvel, can you let her be on the game this time? At least as DLC please! hahah
Yeah, as others have said, to not expect Morrigan as a locked DS rep is like not expecting Ryu to be on the game.

To be fair though. It's not like Darkstalkers is a big fanchise. So having someone other than morrigan isn't a risky idea. I'd say most people probably just know her as vampire girl. So I'm definitey in the camp where if they wanted to cut morrigan and put someone else, I don't think it'd be an issue in the grand scheme of things.

Never said I didn't expect Morrigan and Ryu. Just that I'm always bored and dissapointed by them. Just push Akuma as the new face of Street Fighter and pick another Darkstalker to push that was prominent already imo. The former is far more likely than the latter really.
I even mained Ryu in vanilla and feel he's just boring product placement that has more exciting alternatives to use for the role these days. Morrigan requires more Darkstalkers games to try to create a new face of the product though. That ain't happening lol.

Ryu and Morrigan pretty much have a perfect Vs. Series attendance record, so I don't see that ever changing.
Hell, Morrigan is more of a Vs. Series character than she is a Darkstalkers character at this point, lol

Why does SF need a new face? Ryu is iconic. He's the grandfather of all fighting game characters. But nah lets just ignore him and randomly decide to make Akuma the new face.
This is just changing for the sake of changing, and adds nothing.
Big bodies
I can hang
Monster Hunter has been on Sony platforms so I need something big from there to complete the duo
They're done announcing things. The game will only have 6 characters in it.

30th anniversary Street Fighter panel on April 1st. I'm sure the focus is SFV, but it would be nice if Capcom throws MvCI a bone.

Weird. I literally just dreamed that Infinite launched with the six revealed characters. Capcom said the future of fighting games were small rosters because it kept the game balanced.
Please give us some news, Capcom.
Hmmm
Would Honda Tadakatsu be a good alternative then?
I admit I've only played Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes (and I didn't find him fun to actually play as, though his stage is damn cool) so I'm not too into the series, but I'm pretty sure he's got the size and actual flight/air mobility parts down.
4 darkstalkers characters confirmed

Here's my wishlist of returning veterans based on likelihood to come back:
Very likely to return
Marvel - Spider-man
Capcom - Phoenix Wright
Moderately likely to return
Marvel - Rocket Raccoon
Capcom - Frank West (hopefully still his DR1 form)
Moderately unlikely to return
Marvel - Iron Fist
Capcom - Amaterasu
Very unlikely to return
Marvel - She-Hulk
Capcom - Tron Bonne
I decided to keep it to one character per category to avoid clutter.

I'd move Rocket to Very Likely, given his recent popularity. He's basically a household name, now.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Rocket Raccon was leaked along with MVC:I so I would imagine he have a good shot getting in.
Almost forgot about that. So yeah, Rocket's a really safe bet.

I was debating which character had more of a shot of getting in and I think Spider-man is simply more popular.
I didn't know this, though.

Yeah, I mostly agree with this. I do think they'll go with DR4 (ugh) Frank and have his old design as DLC bait ala Spencer, though.
