Look like you don't know what you're talking about. It's movie licensing we're talking about. Also Spider-Man characters aren't at the risk, so many characters aren't as well. Marvel still hold the rights to almost everyone for video games licensing.
It's more of matters with our speculation about Marvel not giving Fox characters any attention with mutants and F4.

Have you hear about Universe law about Jawmuncher?

Spider-Gwen belongs to the Spider-Man universe (it's an alternate universe version of Gwen Stacy after all), but Spider-Woman (as in Jessica Drew or Julia Carpenter) is a unique thing and I'm pretty sure that Marvel has her, not Sony. Marvel did a really big push differentiating the two from each other (what with them also usually operating on different coasts/continents and what have you).
She-Hulk was in MvC3 and is in basically every contemporary Marvel game right now, so no, it's definitely not a deconfirm for She-Hulk's return in MvCI.

If the game really is slated for release in 2017 then I see no better platform to start the marketing drip feed.

Yes, yes, we already know Phoenix Wright is making it back in. ;P

Funny thing is, this gif is pretty much what would happen if Phoenix were to fight Jen. xD
Yes that's exactly what I am talking about. I don't know shit about all this licensing/rights non sense but neither does anyone else in here including Neoxon. Neoxon would've been that dude who would've told me a decade again that Spider Man would never appear in an Avengers movie but here we are.
My concern isn't about roster (because Marvel can put in whoever they god damn want and it's all about who they are feeling hot for at the moment) but the longevity of the game. I don't want there to be a situation where Marvel/Capcom get bad blood in between them and the game gets delisted and hard to acquire.
Or Capcom signs off some quick cash grab contract and they are unable to patch the game a couple of years down the line and the competitive community is left holding that L. These things are more important than whatever flavor of the month Marvel character making it in.
And all of these things can be alleviated with a Capcom All Stars.

Looking at SFV, I'm beginning to hope Infinite isn't apart of the CFN.

It's probably going to be called something like the Versus Fighting Network but it will use the same technology. Capcom isn't rich enough to make another online infrastructure just for a Marvel game.
Only real advantage of this system is the cross play, otherwise it has been a load of doo doo.

It will be there. That shouldn't even be a shock to anyone, honestly.
The entire roster won't be revealed at E3. But you're getting a good number of announcements, first gameplay of a match (and more), and an explanation of the combat systems.

He showed up!!!!
Sneakers, do you have any idea of the roster?

It features a varied assortment of Marvel characters & Capcom characters, fighting one another.
Honestly, i'm more excited about the newcomers. I usually am for new fighting games though.
Capcom can't be leaning on the Marvel IP forever, that is extremely short sighted. They have to grown their own IPs and characters. Nintendo for example never had to partner up their characters with another IP (ie. A Smash VS game) to sell their products. Marvel Infinite even with all the Marvel clout is still not going to touch Smash.

Lemme get Fight Money on both games. Shit let me attach one account to the PC versions too so I can quad dip

No Dante and no X-Men would actually make this a no sell for me.

What if it were no X-men at launch, but came down the line? You still out?
Spider-Woman is deffo for sure not part of the Spider-Man side of things. She's more closely associated with the Avengers. What's iffy is Anya Corazon/Araña/Spider-Girl. Her powers and origin were completely separate from Spidey, and for the first few years she was around she was associated with the Avengers. It wasn't until she got the Spider-Girl moniker that she started being more associated with Spidey. So who knows at this point.
Universal has the distribution rights, or more correctly, is automatically first in line to distribute a Hulk movie. But we don't know if that applies to She-Hulk or other Hulk characters.

No!! Keep that Fight Money shit in SFV.
Infinite needs its own currency. Like Pringles or something.

I was joking because every time Jawmuncher happens to like certain characters and might don't mind to see those characters to be in the game, and they didn't get in (example: Regina in UMVC3, and Solid Snake in Smash 4) It was my terrible ribbing about how bad luck Jawmuncher had with his characters, so I was joking that he happened to like She-Hulk so her chance went from 50 to 0%. It's basically a inside joke with me and him, since he didn't get Solid Snake in Smash 4.
I still believe in Snake for upcoming Smash, and hope to see Regina in MVCI.

Yep, I think so.
I would buy the whole lot of them lol
what no Cyclops!?
I'd normally be down for this, but others have brought up the potential issue of making costumes cost more like in SFV. It's not too big of an issue for SFV since alternate costumes aren't that big of a deal, but a game like MvCI is ripe for alternate costumes, especially for the Marvel characters. There are fair arguments both in favor & opposition of using Fight Money in MvCI.
Dante's a safe bet, but the current rumor is that the X-Men would be DLC. Would that still be a deal-breaker for you?

This wouldn't even be the first time a Marvel game had currency. Mvc2 had that shit as well.

I would buy it once they have the X-Men available lol. I just can't really play a Marvel game without Magneto, and the MCU characters haven't historically been too fun to play for me aside from MVC2 Iron Man. The gameplay shown so far hasn't been too attractive tbh but of course this could all change later on, it reminds me a bit too much of SFXT and not MVC.
Oh and it would need to be classic Dante and not fratboy Dante.

same thing different skin
Not at all.

Same thing, better skin 😏
New presentation would be nice, but there wasn't much wrong with the old art style, just needed a lot of work on shaders and saturation.
But yeah, let's go with this............

Just got back from Japan and met with my uncle who is a janitor at Capcom HQ. From his midnight cleanings he told me
- Assists are back, but they're servbots for capcom side and stark robots for the marvel side
- Roster of 32 (16 per side)
- Story starts with the death of zero
- DmC Dante and DMC4 Dante are the two DMC characters in the game and have 4th wall dialog about their games
- Morrigan is the only Darkstalkers character
- Beta Ray Bill replacing Thor entirely
- Galactus is the actual end boss again, with Ultron Sigma being his lackey
- Thanos and Wesker teased at the end of the story mode (DLC story or sequel bait)
He couldn't get much other information on the roster since it's locked down. But he said he saw Sega labeled folders on one of the desks, so he thinks there might be a third party character as well.

Dante was a total dudebro in DMC3, him continuing to be so would not be out of the ordinary.

How would people feel if we got Xmen/Mutants but they weren't any of the usual ones (ex: no Wolverine, Storm, Magneto)? Would you be happy that Marvel isn't banning them outright or would you be upset?
It'd be bittersweet, honestly.
I would only ask for one particular mutant then. Would be preferred if they kept the usuals but I wouldn't be upset.

Yet they shelved it because they think people aren't buying SFxT because the fighting genre is over-saturated.
