Dang, so the stages might be like some Playstation All Stars kinda stuff? Sounds cool!
Nathan Spencer is technically a captain.
It would cool to see her tell the Capcom characters they are in a game and reveal the Capcom enemies weak spots.

Daredevil is pretty much a shoe-in, right?
Seeing him on the stage in MvC3 was sweet but need him playable.

I could easily see them just giving Logan's moves to Black Panther.

Logan and Black Panther fight nothing alike, though. Logan is berserk and just tries to tear through you like a wild animal. T'Challa is calculating and skilled. I'm pretty sure Capcom will have their unique take on the character without having to reuse Wolvie's stuff.
Going with the "good chance to return because they are reusing models and animations" narrative, Marvel characters that should be a shoe-in:
Dr. Strange for obvious reasons
Dormammu because of Strange
Iron Fist because of the show
She Hulk has a new comic
Spider Man because they made nice with Sony.
Hawkeye, Thor and Hulk because Avengers
Rocket because Guardians
Nova is back in the comics
Ghost Rider is on tv and in the comics, even if its a different one.
Shuma could with his relation to Strange but hes so obscure (and was dlc) that I was shocked he was even in 3.
Modok and Tasky could come back, but they have nothing going on in comics or in movies or in...anything.
No X-Men, Skrull and Deadpool for now for obvious reasons.
So we're looking at 10-14 easy returns, with the 3 now announced makes 13-17, with some new characters like Kamala, Gwenpool, Starlord, Groot, Black Panther, Daredevil for example, we could be looking at a "easy" 20-25 per side for a 40-50 character roster, which would classify as huge like the Marvel dude said I guess.
This is of course just wishful thinking ;_;
Also im bored at work.

BP flailing around like a drunk canadian with height envy would be a pretty big disservice to BP. Dude is generally much more elegant.

Black Panther is more likely to get X-23's moveset than Logan's.
That's probably it. The arc makes sense, there's also some effect behind it as well so I can see that.

When it comes to X, I just hope they give him a technique from every game similar to Zero. I don't understand X as well as I do Zero because I often choose Zero in the X games. Actually, seeing X revealed makes me want to play through the games again.
One of the things I enjoyed playing through the X series was seeing where most of Zero's techniques originated from. Might as well do it with X this time around.

ElBoxyBrown, please edit your post because we're going to be debunking it all day otherwise.
Because he lurks GAF.
Not saying that the list isn't fake, but he probably saw Lupinko's post here confirming it is fake.

Never seen this.....i dont want Protoman anymore due to the fact that they would never add this look as a alt. costume.

Marvel's going to be tight with the roster, and that's sad. Hopefully we'll get some interesting characters like Quake and Bucky. I'm interested in what Capcom does. So many of their IPs have been just sitting in a drawer for years, I wonder how many of them we're going to see. Give me some Red Earth & Rival Schools representation, guys.

I feel like it's some made up move, and that bothers me a lot. I'm expecting to see some moves from his games. At least that move doesn't look familiar to anything to me.
Also, I'm expecting him to have one of the shields as a special.

Im relieved to see Morrigan return. Chun is my pick for boring, inevitable return, but if she gets some of her SFV DLC costumes, I'd be pretty happy with that at least.

it's about time she showed up again

Looks like Crystal Hunter:
Can't find any other attack that looks as similar as that.
First of all: How many games have even attempted this? Smash Brawl is it's own animal that actively crippled competitive players to keep it a party game, as intended. It's not even close to the same thing here, and even if it was, it remains the most successful Smash game ever in terms of units sold.
Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V were both developed to simplify the franchise and appeal to more casual gamers than before. Both were criticized for it in the same way people are concerned for Marvel Infinite, and both wound up being decent games. Of course, Street Fighter V didn't have a lot of success, but there are other reasons for that. Capcom botched it's release and rode a wave of negative publicity for a month ahead of time. At no point have I heard a coherent argument that Street Fighter V is less successful than it should be because it simplified things and chased fans away. If anything, the core of the game is more popular with the community than IV ever was.
And then there's Street Fighter IV, which was widely criticized by FGC members for "dumbing the series down". It has created more new FGC members than any fighting game since Street Fighter 2 basically invented the FGC. It had a bigger and more consistent online playerbase with ranging skill levels than ANY other major fighting game of it's era. It's success is basically the reason fighting games exist as a genre in 2016, beyond the niche. Even shit like Mortal Kombat has re-focused around the FGC in it's wake. So of course it worked, even if there were other reasons beyond the more accessible gameplay.
And now we have a situation where Marvel is the biggest license on earth. Much, much more popular than it was even when UMVC3 released. They have every ability to sell to millions and millions of gamers here, and if not having a complex engine helps even 2% more of them stick it out long enough to stay interested - that's worth it.

And that is the entire point.
You know what's going to move this game off shelves and get it to sell like gangbusters? The Marvel license, the character roster, some flashy graphics, and enough single-player modes and/or unlockables to satisfy whatever "content" metric is laid out by the button mashers with short attention spans who aren't really out to compete in the first place.
The finer points of the gameplay literally do not matter in this regard. That is why it is painful to hear that the core aspect of the series that set it apart from all other major fighting games is being nuked to appease an audience for whom it doesn't make a difference in the first place. I ultimately wouldn't give a shit how "dumbed down" the game might be otherwise. They could strip out all traditional Hadouken-style motions for all I care if that's what they think it'd take. But if it's not going to be a real team game anymore, then they sure as fuck better make up the difference in some regard so that it's still distinct. I'm not terribly hyped about King of Fighters Cross Tekken at the moment.

No one can replace my baby boy Nemesis.
Just have them be rivals or something. I think it's safe to assume Groot is gonna be the Marvel's side big dude. Even if we do get X-Men characters in MvCI I don't see Sentinel returning.
i mean, how does changing it to that make the game easier to follow though?
both are pretty clear and without assists it's not like you have to track that + another thing at the same time or anything
the same feeling applies to his j.h btw, where it's that anemic looking boost spike instead of a single shot from the repulsor blast- it's functionally the same but aesthetically looks way worse.
same with his cr.m, where it straight up makes it harder to follow because there isn't a giant pink ring going 'hey this is actually how far this attack goes', but rather another spike that doesn't read as well
it's just something that i hope is touched on later, because there's no real justification for it- it's just worse as it is.
man, i wish the pc ver. of umvc3 was out already so i could actually get comparison shots, haha

Hope Chun Li gets replaced by Juri.
Why would anyone expect the first woman of fighting games to not be in a versus game?
