6 completely new characters will make the roster much more palatable.
I still don't fucking understand why both Arthur & Firebrand and in this game. To a lesser extent Nemesis. Replace Nemesis, Firebrand, & Arthur with Wesker, Phoenix Wright, & Vergil and this roster would look MUCH better.

I fully expect by the time the entire Season Pass 1 is revealed a lot of comments are going to be "This should've been the base roster"
Going by the rumors from interviews it'd probably look something like this.
Female Capcom Rep
Sigma
Asura
Doc Ock
Black Panther
Female Marvel Rep
Doc Ock and Asura were heavily hinted at with the whole 6 arms thing. The. There were female characters that were discussed and changed topics on. Then black Panther just seems like a logical thing.

I already ready feel that way about Sigma
Jill should have gotten in over Nemesis.
Main character from Remember Me.

I don't really agree. The problems I have and most seem to have are lack of total # of characters, lack of completely new characters, and a lack of diversity. Those 3 don't fix any of that

And Tatsunoko VS Capcom. They actually pulled it off after years of being cagey due to license issues, only lost one character, and made up for it with 5 new ones. The whole release was a miracle and they handled it amazingly.
Then barely over a year later everything went downhill.
IIRC it was also because if they released it in 2012 it would've conflicted with SFXTK... and I guess they didn't want to delay that. There might've been pressure from marvel but I wouldn't know that. Which is silly, because things would have worked out so much better if they released it to tie in with Avengers.
Yup. Been saying it since the release date announcement, but the September release date screams of shareholder pressure to get it rushed out at all costs. This game does not need to be releasing this year.
To think Firebrand, Arthur and Nemesis could've been replaced with Vergil, Zero and Wesker and some would have complained less.
But of course, no one's going to buy GnG DLC, but selling Wesker, Zero and Vergil as DLC guarantees sales. It's so transparent but oh so stupid. It seems the only lesson they learnt from SFV was 'We can make a cheap game with low sales at launch and make our money over time by nickel and diming the 10k players for DLC'.
Fuck you doing with my favorite franchise Cpacpom?
I used to main
Haggar/Chris/Doom
Trish/Hawkeye/Doom
Spiderman/Hawkeye/Doom
and 3 of my characters have been removed.
I can always run Spiderman/Hawkeye but Spiderman's going to be butchered and be made into an ez mode low tier character, and with no assists I can't make him go crazy like in 3, so I'm not buying this at launch

It makes the launch roster less shitty for people who are looking to main their previous characters.

Okay you know what I actually wouldn't mind this since it would finally lead to Nintendo vs Capcom (and they would also have a budget for it)

Does that include Panda?

So a super niche game character.

Ahh yeah forgot about TvC, outside the Wii only release (which was understandable considering its arcade board roots were based off a Wii). That didn't have any sort of bad blood either. As you said most were amazing they even managed to pull it off.

I'm fairly confident that 3 of the six you named will be in the first wave of dlc, unless they were lying in their interviews and yes that would have made the initial roster much better. Side note I'm going to break Thanos in the lab.
Those 3 make the roster look better but I see your point though. At minimum this game should have 30 characters at launch with 8 of them being women and a few characters with different nationalities. It's as if since Capcom couldn't use X-Men they were lost.
Yeah but unlike other niche game characters that people throw out just to show how hipster they are... Nilin is actually a feature complete fighting game character with a ton of moves and abilities. She is like a female version of Gene (which everyone except Beef wants in the game) only with less swag but more tech.

Have you been living under a rock that you don't know those Marvel characters?
Mega Man and Ryu in Smash Bros. is just the beginning!

Remember me broke 1 million in sales and wouldn't be an odd franchise to rep. Especially when Spencer is still in with the same criteria basically (though he does at least have a legacy backing him).
nintendo should really think about buying them out
they'd probably make their money back in a year thanks to monster hunter software + hardware sales alone

Capcom could have at least went with 36 character like vanilla MVC3.
4 more for Marvel:
Vulture
Yondu
Black Widow
Scarlet Witch
4 more for Capcom:
Samanosuke
Roll.exe
Asura
Ada

I find that most people who don't think Capcom has made a good VS. game since MVC2 have never played UMvC3. UMvC3 is the best in the series.
Jawmuncher
Member
You won't see me disagreeing. I like UMvC3 a lot.
The capcom side was nice and diversive. Biggest issue was no black Panther.
better than marvel 2 honestly
and I love marvel 2
but marvel 3 is like a fucking dream come true for a marvel fan

It has to be the black version of Spencer they are using right.
Is Combofiend even a designer he was a glorified PR guy at first I doubt he has that much pull (No Offense). Judging by how they chose characters in the past, the director sends a list to Marvel and they have their own list they go through and see what character would fit and isn't too similar to others. If you look at the current character roster it looks like a straight up business guy sat down and chose them on the Marvel Side. The Capcom side varies cause they don't have more big franchises anymore and looks like they wanted to limit because if not they should have added The Monster Hunter Cats, those would bring in more sales than Pheonix, Asura or Ami.
Honestly, I'll be surprised if they survive this gen.
And those cinematic videos?
and those HYPEEE AS FUARKKKK dev panels?
Leading up to launch of MVC3 and Ultimate was the best thing ever. I still remember that night before Vergil's TGS reveal.
It's fucking baffling. I legit would love to know what the thought process was behind these choices. Cause it doesn't seem to be "Push current/upcoming releases".
It's unfortunate that Capcpom's only answer when we ask these questions is the PR-ass "We had complete freedom to choose any characters we wanted, but in the end the characters that presented the most unique movesets and gameplay got priority."
fucking don't lie to me peter
The voice acting too.
Sooooooooo good. For every character!

He's not black, it's just the lighting and dreads that make it look that way. The red hair spencer from rearmed is the same guy in that Bionic Commando by Grin. That game is even a sequel to BC2 on NES

Making a great game and meeting sales expectations are two different things. If they expect DMC5 to do RE number they are fucking crazy.

That is so disappointing nothing will ever beat the Marvel vs Capcom 2 roster, it's a shame it go de listed would love to keep playing it on my Xbox One
BlazinSkatinAxel

They couldn't add War Machine, Black Panther playing as Wolverine, or Captain Commando?
You already know they'll have crazy expectations.
Capcom never expects RE numbers for DMC. They expected 2 million for DmC (the series average) but it didn't quite reach that mark. I expect same number for DMC5, around 2 million.
Marvel Infinite is also at 2 million but everyday that milestone seems harder and harder to achieve.
As far as great games go... IMO Capcom's last great game was RE7. It gives me hope that their non FG division is capable of putting out something great again.
Umvc3 shits all over it.

DMC hasn't had a game in forever. I don't know if it could pass 1 million. Unless Capcom decides to market the hell out of it.
Yeah, with this limited roster that's one character we didn't need.

Whoa he definitely looked black to me in UMVC3. I only got to play Re-armed which was a great game.
DmC which was reviled by a majority of the fanbase still almost made 2 million.
DMC5 if made properly will for sure generate hype and can make 2 million. Just because a game has been absent doesn't mean there isn't interest for it. I mean look at FF15, so long in between games but it still managed to sell after all this time.
