Howard the duck better be playable.

 

[SDBurton]

A Marvel with no X-Men. We really are in the darkest timeline.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

If Sony is funding it, expect LT exclusivity. No word on that yet though. I had heard that Sony were the ones who signed a deal for a new Versus game, but I don't have specifics.

I could see this as something they did during all those deals for the Tim Schafer games.

A Marvel with no X-Men. We really are in the darkest timeline.

But MCU has no X-Men and people love it to death.

 

[sjay1994]

... It feels fucking weird to hear a MVC game is being made and there is no wolverine.

 

[Starphoenix]

You have one job Capcom.

ONE. JOB.

 

[Spinosaurus]

If an SFV character gets in it better be Rashidoooooo

 

[Septimus Prime]

They could at least make the shoto rep Cyber Akuma so he isn't immediately low tier.

Is it just me or does anyone else think these kinds of "reporting" stories needs to stop? If there's some kind of injustice or scandal going on in the gaming world, have at it, but it completely takes the wind out of the sails of the fans as well as the companies involved when a website/magazine just outs an announcement as a matter of fact.

Sony and Capcom were all ready to go to make a big surprise announcement in a week's time and now it's ruined. Not just for them but for us too. It would have been so much more exciting if we got to see the reveal trailer along with everyone else. Instead, we know the game is in development and that it'll be announced for sure this weekend.

I don't know. This kind of thing isn't reporting. It's just raining on everyone's parade for clicks.

 

[SuitedforGaming]

I have. For many years as well. I can safely say (especially his recent versions) are NOT shoto clones.

How dare you even imply that? How DARE you! As a ken main, I am deeply offended!

/Disgusted

Is your Ken:

get it?
Flo? Chart?
I crack me up.

How old are you my dude? You really complaining about being spoiled of a game announcement?

It's still gonna be hype as fuck
Relax about it

 

[Pieman0920]

People put too much faith that the X-Men are going to be replaced by new Marvel characters, and not Capcom characters.

Say hello to your new Gods, mortals.

 

[neojubei]

Hopefully there will be a playable Black Panther and Luke Cage.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Seriously though, Capcom.

 

[Spinky]

They should do something with Ant-Man.

Like leave him out.

 

[L Thammy]

They could at least make the shoto rep Cyber Akuma so he isn't immediately low tier.

How about

 

[Vex_]

Is your Ken:

get it?
Flo? Chart?
I crack me up.

Hmmm .That was actually alright. That was p good. High five me bro. High five me right now.

 

[Manmademan]

Like leave him out.

ant man would be really tough to make work as a fighter with moves that made any sense.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Well it's known now and PS4 has four exclusive fighters now. I'd say if you haven't gotten a cheap PS4 and like Fighters you're doing it wrong.

We're not gonna know if this deal will be worth it for Marvel until the sales come in.

As a fan I can say that if they do announce it this weekend, I will still be as excited about it as I would be if I didn't know before hand.

 

[Anth0ny]

I can't find any gifs but I think it would be cool if they gave him Storm's moveset/play style.


alternatively, scarlett witch = storm, vision = magneto

 

[lucebuce12]

ant man would be really tough to make work as a fighter with moves that made any sense.

He could have 3 stances. One being default, one being Rocket Raccoon size and one being Sentinel size.

The 3 stances could have different properties as well. That's just off the top of my head.

He can definitely work as a character.

 

[Pieman0920]

ant man would be really tough to make work as a fighter with moves that made any sense.

I've always thought a good idea would be that he could change sizes from pretty much Sentinel sized Giant Man, and slightly smaller than Viewtiful Joe sized Ant Man. For a Giant Man super, he could grow larger off screen and do a giant stomp or could specialize in throws, and at Ant Man size he could summon a swarm of ants or have ant projectiles and do "teleports" by growing small and then appearing elsewhere.

 

[SuitedforGaming]

which reminds me

*Snipped funny Doom panels*

Hmmm .That was actually alright. That was p good. High five me bro. High five me right now.

High fives all around for some deep cuts and senses of dry humor

 

[Bluth54]

Well at least if Sony's funding the game it will probably show up on PC too like Street Fighter 5.

 

[Vex_]

It would be funny if polygon was actually wrong tho. And Ono comes from out of no where laughing really hard (to tears) even tho this has nothing to do with him.

 

[Parfait]

No wolverine, storm, cyclops, deadpool, sentinel, phoenix....

Kinda yuck. The only way i'd play this is a Rocket Raccoon confirmation.

 

[smurfx]

not gonna get hyped until i see it be confirmed by capcom.

 

[Manmademan]

Neither of these are ant size though. and we've seen him at ant size as a super in MvC3.

and Giant Man was the size of a damn building in Civil War.

so the only way to make him useable is to nerf his powers to hell. And this ignores the whole "ant man has those things he shoots that shrinks other people"

 

[Kalentan]

Wonder if we will get Quake. That would be neat.

 

[NotLiquid]

Now that Combofiend works for Capcom I hope his day-to-day hours involve persuading them to add Spencer back in

I see your point, but nothing you can do about it.

 

[OmegaSmash]

Ultron's level 3 hyper: Hidden Missiles but with Drones instead.

 

[SneakersSO]

Well at least if Sony's funding the game it will probably show up on PC too like Street Fighter 5.

When it came to Marvel 3, Marvel was responsible for the game not coming to PC. So while I think PC is most likely, the situation isn't as clear cut as that.

Well yeah, I don't think it's possible to make him that small or big while still keeping him balanced.

Some sacrifices will definitely have to be made to his level of power usage but it's doable at least.

 

[brandonh83]

All I need is Spidey.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Please Good Art™ this time!
MVC3 looked like absolute shit, especially compared to Tatsunoko which was on freakin' Wii and looked amazing

 

[Manmademan]

Well yeah, I don't think it's possible to make him that small or big while still keeping him balanced.

Some sacrifices will definitely have to be made to his level of power usage but it's doable at least.

better to leave him as an assist or a super, rather than just nerf the shit out of him for the sake of having him on the roster.

 

[Gunslinger]

No x-men means a trash roster already....No cyclops, no Erik, no Logan, no Storm, no Mango Sentinel ewwww......nah pass for me.

 

[CriterionDog]

Just going to throw it out in the open:
The win theme in MVC3 >>>>>>>> UMVC3

 

[Son Of Sparda]

HOW THE HELL DID I MISS THIS?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

No x-men means a trash roster already....No cyclops, no Eric, no Logan, no Storm, no Mango Sentinel ewwww......nah pass for me.

Sounds good to me. Bring me cool new characters.

 

[phaonaut]

I just dont believe no x-men will happen, so many character designs and move sets thrown out the window.

Capcom would have begged Marvel not to throw out 2 decades of work.

 

[Spinky]

If Capcom don't use Leon to represent RE this time, I will be fucking

 

[CriterionDog]

I hope the roster is just as big as UMVC3 or bigger!

 

[Producer]

Just going to throw it out in the open:
The win theme in MVC3 >>>>>>>> UMVC3

I dont think thats an unpopular opinion haha

 

[Syntsui]

Mahvel without Doom. What a time.

 

[Choppasmith]

NO MAGNETO IS A HUGE META CHANGER.

Dude has been a solid force and defacto assist for teams since Marvel 2. If Dr. Doom is absent as well for any reason then its gonna be a completely new world in terms of finding a good beam assist for teams (though Doom was pretty well Missiles by the end of MVC3).

Magneto rapid fire air mobility and triangle offense coupled with his zoning and fast conversions made him an easy choice for a great zoning assist/character to add to any team. Dropping Magneto is BIG.

My God I am pumped for this. I love series shakeups.

I agree. The Fox ban sucks, but people are being ridiculous. Seeing you avatar reminds me of when Tatsunoko vs Capcom was announced.

"I don't want these Anime Power Ranger nobodies! I want Marvel!"

Speaking of Tatsunoko, I hope the return to 2 on 2 could mean the return of giant characters. Devil Dinosaur please!

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Poll fucked up.

It's Thor 2: The Dark World.

 

[cordy]

Hmm...

I haven't asked yet but since I haven't seen it and I'm not up to date with this X-Men news, why is there a ban on them in general in the first place? How long has this been going on and why did it get this bad? Personally, the fact that they won't be in the game means more room for other characters (which is fine for me as it starts a new "era" I guess) but still it's surprising that it's happening to something as iconic as the X-Men.
