no new info in the last 6 or 7 hours I missed? Maybe some Combofiend interview or something? Anything? no? Ok then :/

All this Zero talk. If he ends up being in what you guys think are the chances that they go with the Zero series body and weapons instead of the X version?

I have a great feeling about this game and its roster.

- Game Informer interview sounds like X-Men and F4 aren't off limits? I'm sure they'll be DLC if they're not there Day 1.
- No assist characters means we don't have to worry about characters like Arthur or Haggar from the last game being demoted and staying that way through the game's lifespan.
- I know for a fact Spencer is in the game, which I think bodes well for other obscure Capcom characters.

I don't think this game is going to disappoint anyone as long as we keep an open mind.

Someone get me that Yipes nodding in the crowd gif because my wife arm can only get so erect right now

(no seriously someone fetch me that Yipes gif I love it)
 
"Magneto was also revealed way in advance lol

The last reveals were Akuma, Hsien Ko and Sentinel"


It seems my brain is trying to forget MVC3 happened at all costs.

Since Captain Marvel is already in, if I could get 3 out of the 9 listed below I'd be ecstatic.


Songbird (Thunderbolts)
The Runaways - [From Left to Right] Karolina Dean aka "Lucy in the Sky", Molly Hayes, Nico Minoru, Chase Stein, Gertrude Yorkes "Arsenic"
Elsa Bloodstone - (Nextwave)
Gamora (Guardians of the Galaxy)
Ms. America (The Ultimates)
Ms. Marvel
Angela (Guardians of the Galaxy)
Singularity (A Force)
Gwen Poole - Gwenpool

I didn't list Black Widow because she's obviously going to be in, and I'm confident She-Hulk is a shoe in as well.
 
Now that X Men are all but out and Captain Marvel was revealed before Captain America, I'd be surprised if Gwenpool wasn't in.

And we gotta get that Howard. He was in guardians, and apparently the entire Guardians extended cast is in soooo
 
If Spencer's in, I really hope his classic costume is his default attire this time around.

Been playing UMVC3 for the last few days and man, Classic Spencer really does look so much better than the modern dreadlocks one. I always use it whenever I pick him.

I'd be alright with the mustachio design from Rearmed 2 as well.

Kamala and Gamora would be no brainers. I dunno about Gwenpool but Spider-Gwen is pretty easy. Are the runaways or songbird doing ANYTHING that would justify putting them in? I like em both but I dunno.

Gwenpool world replace Deadpool to keep his legacy in the game while skirting the ban.

Certainly possible, but if X and Sigma are playable I'd kind of like him to stay his X incarnation just for consistencies sake.

I can only see Gwenpool happening if Deadpool gets cut.

Runaways are getting a TV show, Songbird just
rejoined the Thunderbolts
so I'm hoping they give her some love.

We're in this together! I would love Molly but I'm worried if she'd get caught in that mutant ban. :(
 
Also, I don't know why people disliked "assist only" characters in MvC3. It let you experiment a bit more with their movesets (Arthur) and it only make comebacks more intense when you were down to only your Assist Character, like PRBalrog's comeback with Tron in vanilla.

I mean it kind of sucks if you don't want to use a "point" character at all but still.

Wasn't Tron really strong on point in vanilla though?

Yeah, I'm not expecting Molly, but Angela would be my out of left field Marvel pick. Give me a strong and fast sword lady.

Yeah she wasn't that bad, but people definitely picked her for her invincible assist. When people say "assist only" characters I think of Vanilla Tron and Haggar.

At least as far as MvC3 is concerned, and in the interview they mention those characters existing in early MvC3 so I assume those were the characters he had in mind.

It was intense for sure but it was also really, really difficult. A solo char making a comeback without X-Factor against a full team was incredibly rare in both 2 and 3 (which is why the one time Justin did it is so famous).

The Thunderbolts have also appeared on the Avengers cartoon, and it's one of the rumoured projects for the MCU.

Plus Songbird is the shit. She needs to be in.

That all being said, while rewatching the trailer again it hit me that all four characters were basically playing the exact same way. All short range rush down combos ending in a super. You don't really get to see any different sort of play styles, and I think seeing those from other characters as time goes on will give a much better idea of what this game will be like.

I mean if you rewatch the MvC3 trailers they all did basically the similar combo strings. I wouldn't worry about stuff like play styles until much later. Even early MvC3 everyone was doing similar shit.

So because I'm a blinding optimist, was it Assists that were banned, or was it specifically confirmed that there were no MvC1 style Assist Characters?

There are no assists at all according to the GI write-up. Closest you get is the new TGC system. Apparently infinity stones are an attempt to eliminate assist only characters.

If Polygon's sources was right about this being MCU focused then I expect almost every significant character from the MCU in this.


Captain America
Thor
Hawkeye
Black Widow
Hulk
Vision
Ant-Man (Not sure how that would work)
Spider-Man
Dr. Strange
Dormammu
Daredevil
Jessica Jones
Luke Cage
Iron Fist
Thanos
Rocket
Starlord
No way we don't see Gwen in some fashion. I expect Spider Gwen or Gwen Poole

If one of the only specific pieces of info people have about the game (especially due to how much of the roster is apparently TBD) is that Spencer is returning perhaps he's being revealed today. If that's the case, Spidey reveal as well? Guess Cap would make sense too but I'd imagine either Spidey or Bucky would make for better counterparts.
 
I'm hoping for Songbird. She has powers that would work really well for this sort of game. She's not particularly prominent right now, but I feel that people underestimate the chances of characters that Marvel may want to promote in the future, and the Thunderbolts could get a push.

I'd be alright with the mustachio design from Rearmed 2 as well.

Another thing they could possibly do is base it off Shinkiro's original concept design for the Bionic Commando 09 alt outfit which was only seen in the Rearmed trailer.


It feels a little more true to the original NES design and I'm surprised this design was never used. That said I think it's likelier we'll get dreads back.
