Who are the guaranteed characters still yet to be announced? Like so guaranteed, you'd bet your avatar on it?

EDIT: Let me change the parameters: that is a newcomer

Just newcomer?

Antman is IMO all but confirmed considering Hawk Eye's level 3 was changed, also if they go with comic story line then Ultron has a relationship with Hank Pym so it'd be weird for him to not be present.

Edit: I forgot Black Panther, he for sure is going to be in 100%

Didn't we hear Groot a lot back when the rumors of an MVC4 was gonna happen? The fact we saw Rocket without Groot leads me to think he'll likely be his own character.

Capcom side of the roster is a lot harder to guess, Monster Hunter has only grown in global popularity but IIRC a MH rep wasn't in MVC3 because the MH team didn't want to play ball. That's capcom's biggest missing franchise.

Street Fighter WILL get a newcomer, who that'll be is a crap shoot between Juri, Rashid, Necalli, Fang, or Laura.

After that it's hard to guess

 

[TreIII]

The MMX fanservice and the fact that he doesn't seem to play like ass is music to my ears.

We eatin MMX brehs

Damn right.

I mean the moment someone decided Sigma Tron would be the main antagonist X (and possibly Zero) almost have to have a bigger story focus, same with Tony Stark (and possibly Hank Pym) from the Marvel side.

All true, but I guess that's what I was getting at: they didn't "have" to bring back X and Sigma if they were going to do an adaptation of an "Age of Ultron" arc for a MvC game, (plus throwing in the Infinity Gems because why not).

If anything, the usual thing for this series is to have the Marvel big bad doing it for himself, or having minions, so Sigma and Ultron doing the nasty and wrecking havoc afterwards is an interesting buck of trends in more ways than one.

Spoiler

Pending Thanos ruining everything and showing up at the end, just because.

As much as I like Juri, Rashido would be amazing as hell in Marvel

[TheDinoman]

I could see a Monster Hunter being the Villager of this game. As in, a character left out in the previous game due to certain circumstances only to be brought into the next.

Over the years Animal Crossing became even more popular than it was back in 2005 when Brawl was being developed. I always felt that's probably what made Sakurai cave in and represent it with a playable character in Smash Bros. Monster Hunter's in a similar boat with it being more popular than before, so I could see it being represented unless the MH team is still just that stingy about it.

To be fair, we saw Rocket in a story cutscene. And the likes of Ryce did hint at Groot being part of Rocket's moveset.

As for Ant-Man, it's most likely gonna be Scott Lang in MvCI, not Hank Pym (beyond maybe an alt).

 

[Harpoon]

Antman is IMO all but confirmed considering Hawk Eye's level 3 was changed, also if they go with comic story line then Ultron has a relationship with Hank Pym so it'd be weird for him to not be present.

It's more than likely going to be Lang as Ant-Man given that he's Ant-Man in the comics and movies now. Although Pym will probably be an alt.

Didn't we hear Groot a lot back when the rumors of an MVC4 was gonna happen? The fact we saw Rocket without Groot leads me to think he'll likely be his own character.

We haven't seen any gameplay of Rocket at all, though, so it's kind of hard to say we've seen him without Groot when he's only appeared five seconds in a cutscene.

 

[ZeroCDR]

Who are the guaranteed characters still yet to be announced? Like so guaranteed, you'd bet your avatar on it?

Base roster only, I'd imagine a large portion of the MvC3 cast is viable for porting here, sans the X-Men and FF characters which has been discussed the death. Hell it sounds more and more like even they have a shot, but still feels unlikely outside of DLC.

Newcomers, I'm thinking Ant-Man and Star Lord are safe bets.

While Star-Lord is pretty damn likely (cue avatar quoting), I'm not sure if he's an absolute given. I feel like there's a shadow of a doubt concerning him, but not enough to make me heavily question his possible inclusion.

 

[BassForever]

If we had to avatar bet (WHICH I'M NOT DOING) Ant-Man is the only newcomer I'd be willing to throw down for. Outside of Kayos I dunno anyone who would actively bet against Ant Man though.

Can we discuss how you're more confident in an inhuman character nobody outside of comic nerds has heard of getting into MVCI then the leader of the GotG after the first film became a mega hit and it's sequel is about to make a butt load of money?

Monster Hunter's in a similar boat with it being more popular than before, so I could see it being represented unless the MH team is still just that stingy about it.

It's more interesting with Monster Hunter because not only is the player character a blank slate, they got several different playstyles/weapons to use. But unlike with Dante, there's no weapon switching in Monster Hunter.

So, do you go with just Great Sword and calling it a day, or do you go for a mish-mash, even though it's not "true to Monster Hunter"? That's perhaps the biggest thing that they would have to address.

...Though I still think a Felyne Prowler or an actual Monster would still be a better idea. Rajang is pretty much MADE for this type of game. Let him turn Super Saiyan and get into a raging punch fest with Hulk.

 

[MoxManiac]

Game is releasing a few months after GOTG2. I bet Groot is in there in some form.

 

[Armigr]

I just googled Flash as Venom and WTF have they done to Venom?

No no no no, i want Eddie Brock back, this is so wrong.

Rick Remender's run on Flash Thompson Venom was really good if you can believe it. Much better than anything that's ever been done with Eddie Brock Venom IMO.

 

[Wallach]

Guessing we will get Star-Lord and Black Panther. Punisher and Daredevil probably also on the table.

My dark horse pick would be Moon Knight.

I'm putting Star-Lord at the same likelihood as Ms. Marvel in my opinion, 95%. Enough to bet on their inclusion should I feel like it, but I still have some kind of doubt.

I do expect both at some point, be it base roster or the 2017 Character Pass. But at the time of that post, I forgot about the need for a 2nd Guardian if Groot's paired with Rocket.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Do not recall.

Thanks tho! I was disappointed that Injustice 2 didn't even bother to include subtitles for those intro dialogues, clash dialogues and victory dialogues for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

 

[ZeroCDR]

Crossing my fingers! Would love to see him here too.

 

[Dahbomb]

Dante and Spider Man are easy top 2 so obvious picks you can bet your avatar on.

I think Wesker and Dr Strange are very likely too.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Ant-Man and Black Panther

 

[Neoxon]

As would I. But given how big the Guardians are, there's reason to be hopeful.

 

[cordy]

Only noticed it between X and someone else. I think Ultron?

I believe Ryu and Chun Li also had one.

Oh! That reminds me, I got one story detail that wasn't in the trailer. Instead of working with Jarvis, Tony's hologram AI partner is Dr. Light.

Dr. Light also has a "museum" in the game for you to unlock profiles and artwork.

X is running roughshod over this game. Thank you Capcom.

 

[BronsonLee]

Watch this game bomb because X is all over the place, that'll be two franchises he's killed

 

[MoxManiac]

With the new "cinematic" graphic style, I wonder if characters like Amaratsu and Viewtiful Joe are off the table. MMX already clashes pretty heavily with the other characters.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

X is the best megaman, thank god classic is gone.

I don't think that's uh.. You do realize there's a talking racoon, right?

 

[eggandI]

rashid would be alright

but i'd prefer gief back in the vs series again.. he was so fucking fun in XvSF/MvC1.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I'd bet Vision is playable.

 

[Neoxon]

rashid would be alright

I'd rather they stick with Haggar over bringing 'Gief back. The former doesn't really get included in Street Fighter games, so this may be Haggar's only chance to be in a current-gen Capcom fighter.

 

[BronsonLee]

Gief locking you in a box sounds scary as fuck

 

[TheDinoman]

rashid would be alright

To be honest, I'd rather have Haggar back. Reps his own series and generally has the same kind of fighting style. Except with a pipe lol.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Eh, I would prefer Haggar over Gief.

Imagine Pipe and Suplex in the Shame Cube? It's Pipe Time!

Which MCU film heroes are we NOT expecting to see

War Machine
Quick Silver
Scarlet Witch
Gamora
Drax
Falcon

 

[go_straight]

just fix chun-li face, cacpcom, and we have a deal.

I could see Scarlet Witch being offered as future DLC character if they aren't allowed to add mutants in base roster.

 

[Neoxon]

I'd probably agree for the Day 1 roster, but I could see Falcon getting in. Maybe not as likely as, say, Star-Lord or Black Panther, but Falcon has a somewhat decent chance.

 

[TreIII]

Wanda and Pietro being in the sticky predicament they are currently makes me so sad.

After two Injustice games, I REALLY want to see how Capcom would do a "Speedster" type of moveset.

 

[Dahbomb]

Groot if the rumors are true.


IMO characters that have the best shot to be included are:

*MCU staples (Dr Strange Antman, soon to be Black Panther)
*Popular characters that were in Marvel 3 (Dante, Wesker, Zero, Tron, Frank) especially on the Capcom side.
*Super requested characters on fan polls (Gene, Nina, Venom).


Characters beyond these are suspect IMO.

 

[sixteen-bit]

just fix chun-li face, cacpcom, and we have a deal.

fix her limbs too

they got the strongest woman in the world outchere looking like Olive Oyl

 

[Gurish]

People think this game is ugly?

Game looks great. My only fear is that we only get MCU Marvel characters.

Game is giving me mobile vibes, it's ugly as hell and looks very dated visually, gameplay looks pretty awesome though.

 

[Neoxon]

Wanda and Pietro being in the sticky predicament they are currently makes me so sad.

Same here, man. I'd love for Capcom to try their hand at a speedster, especially with one of my favorite Avengers growing up.

 

[vg260]

I want Haggar in SF at some point, but I would bet on him being back. Plus, I'd want him to kick ass in the story.

 

[DaytimeWhiskey]

Eh, I would prefer Haggar over Gief.



Imagine Pipe and Suplex in the Shame Cube? It's Pipe Time!

I am imagining the ShameCube getting SPD'd and the Mayor giving a tour of Suplex City and it is glorious.

I could see Star-Lord as base roster or in the 1st season pass. Unlikely we wait much longer. I doubt Groot gets to be his own character. If we got a 3rd GotG character I'd really like a female, Nebula preferred but Gamora would be cool too

 

[BassForever]

I could see Scarlet Witch being offered as future DLC character if they aren't allowed to add mutants in base roster.

Yeah I could see her being part of the 2017 character pack. If she's not in by then and Fox characters get the green in 2018 I think her odds go way down over other X-Men/FF characters.

I'd probably agree for the Day 1 roster, but I could see Falcon getting in. Maybe not as likely as, say, Star-Lord or Black Panther, but Falcon has a somewhat decent chance.

Yeah that's probably the one on that list I feel most iffy on. War Machine will likely get an alternate costume type deal.

Groot if the rumors are true.

If Groot is part of Rocket's move set I dunno how we count him for this discussion. We're not considering Ultron minion to be playable are we

 

[OSHAN]

Remender's Flash/Venom run was tip top. As someone who thought the idea was dumb and was set on Brock/Venom from the 90s, I was happy to be wrong. Definitely pick up some of the collected editions if you're a Venom fan. I also think he has no chance appearing in MvC.

 

[enzo_gt]

s/o To ShockingAlberto giving us the inside scoop.

Why didn't they use the new Chris design?

GC: And in terms of Capcom character design, I was surprised Chris still looks like piggy-eyed Hulk Chris?

ME: The RE5 version?

GC: Yeah. That’s not a placeholder or anything is it? Given the situation with Resident Evil 7.

ME: We felt that version…

GC: [under breath] The worst version.

ME: …of Chris was one of the most recognisable versions. Wait, did you just say the worst version?

Same here, man. I'd love for Capcom to try their hand at a speedster, especially with one of my favorite Avengers growing up.

Marvel games are so inherently fast that damn near everyone already is a speedster. Quicksilver's movelist would probably just look like the new Time Stone shenanigans, tbh.

Yeah I agree with this. I think Daredevil has a better shot than Star-Lord. Black Panther is a lock.

[Neonep]

As far as Capcom reps are concerned, the only safe bets are Wesker, Frank West, Dante, & Vergil. Everybody else is 50/50. I don't expect to see Zero in this game, it would be nice though.
