I kinda hope they don't do any console exclusive characters, some people would be very upset if Sony got Spider-Man as an exclusive character on PS4. I doubt they would do that but with the Sony / Marvel movie deal, anything is possible.

I hope we get to see the full roster and get a release date at E3, it's been a while since we had any news but I want the roster to be big. UMvC 3 had 48 characters, so it would be great to get at least 48 again, more would be a bonus.

The movie deal was between Sony Pictures & Marvel Studios, not Marvel Entertainment.

Also, UMvC3 had 50 characters (counting Jill & Shuma), not 48. Though with the possible loss of the X-Men/F4 characters on Day 1, I wouldn't get your hopes up for MvCI's base roster matching UMvC3's (even with MvCI reusing UMvC3 assets).

We're going to lock this for a while as we want to focus on the new story trailer thread and all the reveals there.

I'm thinking about overhaul the OP since I don't think we would get character arts anytime soon.

Which one do you think should be better for OP?

that's actually a good point. I guess I will nix number 3.

 

[Skab]

Oh, were back? Good.

On subject: Now that we know how the mechanics work, I keep thinking about Doom/Strider and how much I hope Doom comes back.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Anyone know if Evil Ryu can do the Shun Goku Satsu?

 

[BassForever]

Gif no loop looks weird af

WE BACK

 

[Pieman0920]

We back.

You know, since this is the characters and stage roster discussion, I've got to say, outside of being a bit barebones, I do hope the stages aren't all tied to the story mode, and if they are, that the story mode goes places other than Marvel. What everyone was first speculating was mashup stages, with a Asgard crossed with the highway stage from MMX, but that doesn't look to be the case. Its just Sigmatron infection, and its in the Asgard throne room too. Outside of that though, we just have a basic Avengers Tower control room stage, and possibly some nondescript beach stage, or at least what seems to be a nondescript beach stage for now.

Ah, it's good to be back.

Definitely do the gif loop.

I tried but it make the banner even more cluttered.

Okay, I'm still testing the banners even more. Do you prefer characters' names being in full caps or not?

I'd vote against using all caps, but that's just me.

Kneejerk was caps, but...eh.

Neo's right, not all caps.

The background of that stage does have Maverick Hunter HQ (as depicted from MHX's Day of Sigma OVA). So, the merging may still apply.

Pretty sure one of the press interviews today confirmed the stage name as Xgard, which yeah, fuses Asgard with Abel City from MHX.

Let's get interesting for a bit. Who are some characters you don't want in this game that have a good chance of making it in? It can be new or returning.

*no_more_mutants.png* C:

Mostly because if there are any, it's going to be the same X-men, as always. You start telling me that someone like Quiksilver, Scarlet Witch (yes, I know they're not technically mutants anymore), or even Vulcan is a possibility? I may get a bit more interested.

 

[Sigmaah]

This game looks fucking fun af I'm so damn happy guys.

I still can't believe I get to play X AND SIGMA...

I need X GAMEPLAY!!!

 

[Dahbomb]

Let's get interesting for a bit. Who are some characters you don't want in this game that have a good chance of making it in? It can be new or returning.

Warmachine is probably at the top of my list of characters I probably never want to see back unless the roster is going north of like 80 characters.

 

[Neonep]

Easy. Tron.

 

[Dahbomb]

Random ass SF character coming back would be lame too. Especially jobbers like Sakura, Ken, Charlie etc.

Guile would be fine because it's GUYELLE and I am biased but even he would have to be extremely retooled to fit the game engine.

 

[Anth0ny]

I can't think of a single character I don't want.

Bring back Bone Claw Wolverine.

I'd pay extra if Virgil didn't make it, but you know that piece of shit is coming and will be brain dead top tier.

You know they can remake him like Jill right? He doesn't have to be Iron Man with missiles anymore. And hell, even Bonerine could have new moves if they wanted to go to that effort. This isn't the era of pixel art animation anymore.

Guile would be fine because it's GUYELLE and I am biased but even he would have to be extremely retooled to fit the game engine.

They can easily update / upgrade SF characters, also Ken and Nash can be quite different as a result of their SFV incarnations. Capcom could even combine SFV Ken with Violent Ken abilities or something crazy like that.

 

[Anth0ny]

Damn, you're a true Melee fanboy.

I want Akuma and Oni.



SEPARATE CHARACTERS

 

[SAB CA]

Let's get interesting for a bit. Who are some characters you don't want in this game that have a good chance of making it in? It can be new or returning.

There's so many characters that can basically do everything the old cast did, just... in different ways. Complex weapon sets could be handled by the Monster Hunters as good as DMC characters, Ironman could have been replaced by Ironheart, Black Panther could probably do a lot of what Wolverine does gameplay wise, etc.

Some of the most fun of the crossover games is seeing often-forgotten or under-utilized characters get the chance to have modern voicework and animation applied to them. It'd be nice to see just about every UMVC3 common cast member get a bit of a change, either as different versions of that character, or replaced with someone else who effectively can fill the spot.

Especially with this different graphic style. A face I don't love on this games version of Chun Li might be pretty awesome for the Tong Pooh sisters from Strider, for example.

 

[J-Tier]

Let's get interesting for a bit. Who are some characters you don't want in this game that have a good chance of making it in? It can be new or returning.

Any psuedo-clone. Warmachine, Ken and the like (I'm partial to Akuma for legacy reasons).

Easy. Tron.

Yeesh. Personally, Tron is one I'd want back.

 

[Gorilla Blade]

So can we expect news on a regular basis now or are we in for another age of dark till E3?

 

[Dahbomb]

They can easily update / upgrade SF characters, also Ken and Nash can be quite different as a result of their SFV incarnations. Capcom could even combine SFV Ken with Violent Ken abilities or something crazy like that.

They could do this with every character to differentiate them more.. but Warmachine is still a wannabe Iron Man character. Better use that slot for something else. Even Hulkbuster Iron Man would be more interesting than that.

I think they should just create a "super" Shoto character for these games rather than have us play as either Ryu or Akuma. In these situations one of them ends up clearly better than the other (90% of times its Akuma because of better tools).

Have a Shoto that has all the tools of Akuma/Evil Ryu/Ryu/Ken/Oni/Gouken etc. Just go ham with the movelist. Have him be able to transform between different modes of demonic possession.

That's a character people would pay money for.
