[RUMOR] Marvel vs Capcom Infinite roster leaked

Those are the two best returning characters. That is what I want in a Vs. game, an array of classic characters from classic games. The majority of the other characters are just straight-up boring.

People don't respect the classics these days...

I'd rather have one GnG rep and another classic series rep.
 
This roster is slowly becoming legit:

I like how the Marvel side focuses on current/upcoming movie characters (but like no Panther tho) while most of the Capcom side hasn't had a big game since, like, the Dreamcast days

So one side is too expected and the other is too forgettable

Days of Future Past

but no X-Men

Honestly in the long term of MvC3 how many characters did we see on the regular? When was the last time you saw Jill, Arthur, Hsien KO, etc. etc. being used.

If all the characters are fun to use and aren't being shoe horned in I'm fine with 28 to start.

yes I realize Arthur is in this version I'm hoping they give him better tools than last time.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Zero and Phoenix Wright?

:( :( :*(
 
Didn't know we were applauding DLC characters already.

He's not happy with the full roster either, especially with no X-Men. He's just happy that he has a team to get excited for, like how everyone is happy Jedah is in it.

We're all desperate to find something in this game to be excited for.

Anybody who thinks the Sony Smash bros rosteris better then this needs to get their head back on straight.

That game got Donte, famous sony character and not xbox Big daddy, RAIDEN over snake, and Zeus over dart and some dead space guy as picks.

The dude from dead space got in over Cloud, Lara Croft, Crash, or Spyro.

You're saying that like Sony had a choice.

Of course they would have included characters like Cloud and Crash if they had the option, but they clearly didn't.

Sony had a choice, they could of given super bot their blessing and gotten the rights to these characters, instead they pretty much ignored super bot

Yeah I don't think you know how stuff like this works, it's not that easy securing really popular characters owned by others. Especially for PSBR which was a new IP and getting mostly negative vibes since its reveal and just being called a Smash rip-off.

Sony absolutely had a choice if they wanted to make something to compete with Smash bros. They had to go all in and throw money at these companies to get the characters if they didn't have enough of their own franchises to fall back on. Konami's Smash Brothers game had a better roster than Playstation All Stars. This is of course completely different as Capcom has to follow what Marvel allows/wants them to use.
 
Surprised by the lack of other Resident Evil characters like Leon and Claire for the upcoming RE2 Remake/Leon just being popular anyway. I mean, Nemesis again? Really? Bizarre choice.

Why put them in now when they can just charge for them down the road closer to RE2 remake's release?

Sadly I already put $90 bucks into a pre-order for this game, because I know I wouldn't be able to resist regardless when the game drops. Dante/Venom for me at least is something to get excited about, but that's about it.

I bitch to everyone about how the MCU has become a monkey's paw wish from my childhood. I just want it all dialled back so that it isn't a severe annoyance. Every time it's the same damn handful of faces popping up constantly because posers are the easiest and quickest way to make a buck, and they only comprehend the most generic things (at least in the minds of the higher-ups).

I used to be excited about this stuff, now it's like a prostate exam. It sucks, it hurts, but you still need to know the end result.

The reality is comics don't make money. It's all about the movies. Everything Marvel does from here on out is to expose more people to the MCU.
 
Yeah, the MCU kind of has a drawback in that stagnates everything else. Like you'll get interesting stories or cool callbacks to old comics in the movies, but in the comics and other adaptations, everything is basically catering to be more like the movies, instead of their own thing.

Anyways, I've cooled off about the roster. I think the Marvel side is more or less fine given Marvel still being petty about the Fox stuff, though the Capcom side is pretty weird overall. One thing I do kind of wonder about people who complain about the Marvel side is what they would have gone with in a situation where you still have to have constraints. Prior to the full leak, I was dreading the idea Jill 3.0 in the form of Black Widow, and Star Lord with space guns, but in the end it was Ant-Man and Gamora who have much more interesting potential for movesets (though I'll also say there are probably better picks than Gamora like Ms. Marvel when it comes to movesets). And to that end, I wonder how people would spread things out if they could only have four newcomers or in the case of the Fox characters, how they would make a roster of 14 Marvel characters with four of them being newcomers. Prooooobably a lot of people axing Hawkeye and Nova.

If this is legit, my team will be X, Strider, and Dante. I'll be so disappointed if no Ace Attorney rep. Ace Attorney is more alive than it was when UMVC3 came out.

2 characters per team though.

Also not to single you out but were people actually happy with how Phoenix Wright turned out in UMvC3? I love PW but i'd rahter they don't bother if the end result will be like that again.

I'm super curious as to how Thanos is going to play.

I'll probably use Dante & Jedah. A lot of characters I like on the Marvel side but fuck I wanted Daredevil & Black Panther, that was the least they could have done with no Wolverine.
