That is what the current roster is right now every major franchise player from both companies even Monster Hunter. The only exceptions are on Capcoms side and Nova(unless it's kid Nova). Adding dead clover studio franchises to the game isn't gonna produce major sales.
Sorry I must have blanked out and not noticed all those super successful Bionic Commando games that have been coming out between MVC and now.
We're talking specifically about one of the designers keeping a character in because he personally likes him rather than the roster as a whole right now. Interesting how you try putting words in my mouth though, I don't think that putting any of those Clover characters are a good idea unless they have an indication that the fans want them, and if we're just talking about personal preference I'd much rather have Spencer than any of them.
If Peter is going to make decisions based on his own personal preferences, that's on him. Maybe the other posters were wrong and there was some data they had that indicated he was popular or maybe they felt that he was needed in the roster, but if he just put him in because that's what he wanted it's pretty unprofessional.
If you want to talk about the overall I've said in other posts that I don't think sticking with mainstream MCU picks are a bad idea, I just think they ended up with a lot of boring ones.
Hopefully it ends up being more interesting than it currently looks, I'd much rather have this game be enjoyable and successful than a failure.
