I really doubt that's the case, but it would be for the greater good hahah.
Fuck as hell.
A whole DLC of Darkstalker characters? Yeah no. Then again it's Cacpcpcpcom to who knows at this point.
I really like the idea of doing themed DLC packs like that though.
Yeah that's fine and all but Darkstalkers?

oh nice.
Dark stalkers is the big the cat of Capcom.
Non one really cares about big the cat, but the people who work at Sega really care about big the cat. And will randomly just do weird bullshit with big the cat , because they like big the cat.
That's their weird hill that they will die on, every company has one.

I wish I could say things like this, but nobody likes unlockables anymore.
Unlockables stopped being fun the moment everyone started knowing what they all were before games even launched
Morrigan and Felicia.
That's the only reason Capcom still acknowledges the series
If this is the rate at which they're going to pump out characters? Sure, why not! The game's roster will quickly be ginormous anyway, which would make having 6/21 Capcom Reps be DS reps not a big deal in the long run.
I think you mean a real kick to the Dick.

This isnt new per say. This is the same guy who keeps spouting the same thing under different names. We heard this months back.
It might work if they are doing the whole 4 seasons per year thing.
Man if that is actually true the roster might be enormous in 2 years.
DMC DLC - Nero, Vergil, Trish
Survival Horror DLC - Wecker, Jill, Regina
Darkstalkers DLC - Felicia, Hsien Ko, Talbain
Clover DLC - Gene, Amaterasu, Joe
Anime DLC - Phoenix Wright, Asura, Nina
Megaman DLC - Zero, Tron Bonne, Roll

Haven't read that post
Themed DLC wouldn't be a crazy idea, it could give a much needed fresh air to the base roster.

Reading the seasons thing, it's not so bad. It's just Darkstalkers and Street Fighter though? We get enough of them and you know it's just gonna bring back the ones that were already in the series before and maybe one newbie and probably not even the more interesting ones.
I really hope you're right & that Capcom was allowed to make Richard Rider the default. But if Gazillion was able to for Marvel Heroes, maybe there's hope for MvCI. And yeah, Marvel has dialed it back on the Sam push.
DLC characters are just a fact of life when it comes to fighting games (see NRS games, ASW games, even the likes of Smash & Tekken). But if that post is accurate, I do agree that the amount of DLC for MvCI would be a bit excessive within a short amount of time.
I scanned the thread and didn't see this, I still need to get caught up, but I have to get this out.
With Ultron as an Avengers villain, literally half of the Marvel side is Avengers. Yes, many of them are popular in their own right. Yes, many of them have had their own standalone movies. Yes, they're very successful.
But you can't defend this.
Half of the Marvel side is Avengers.
Literally half. No rounding. Seven of fourteen.
Get out of here.

All the characters bar Nova (and the Nova Corps have been in the movies) are MCU. Marvel views this first and foremost as a promotional vehicle and made sure their babies were first in line.

If really wanna be technical. Only Ultron, Thanos, Gamora, and Rocket aren't some kind of Avengers

Yeah, if a Darkstalkers character should be included, Demitri could be one of them. Morrigan & Demitri (a la PxZ) must happen.
Concerning Nova, Richard was only on the Secret Avengers, whereas Sam was on the main Avengers team at one point.
Ultron is an Avengers villain, and Thanos is often, but not exclusively an Avengers villain. But I totally see your point, and that's disgusting.
I absolutely support DLC characters, that's one of the big things that stopped MvC3 just short of INCREDIBLE. As it stands, what they did was miracle work, and I applaud them.
Now, the issue is, it only makes good business sense to make DLC characters that people will actually buy. Be that returning fan favorites, long-requested new characters, what have you. Characters from tiny, dead franchises like Asura's Wrath and God Hand are not going to be bought by the majority of people. Yes, Asura and Gene are absolutely made for MvC, and it's a travesty if they don't make it in. But characters like that need to be in the base roster, so people can see that they fit without having to pay money, and they'll actually make the effort to purchase Wesker, Vergil, Magneto, Dr. Doom, Sentinel, Akuma, Strider, the list goes on and on and on.
That is very concerning to me. More than anything, I wanted either Gene or Asura to make it in, and with the way they're going about it makes me think they don't have a chance.
Demitri will have a different super then, because I his supper IIRC is why he isnt in MVC in the first place
Imagine how I feel about batman characters in Injustice. At least with Avengers it's almost impossible to not have a large amount of marvel to not be an avenger or affiliated

I feel like the more descriptive a leak is, the more likely it is bullshit. Trying to compensate for it being fake by adding lots of details, etc.
Again, legitimate points here. Notable exceptions include the one about reused assets, because that's always a stupid ass complaint, and that there are still fan favourites on both sides by the boatland, just not all of your fan favourites. And that's part of my point, it's an all-or-nothing criticism that is being applied. This impression that there's nothing of worth currently of there because suddenly including Spidey and co. counts for nothing when the givens like Deadpool or Ms. Marvel aren't in there? Spare me.
I don't disagree. This is also Marvel, though.
Tell that to the several MCU-only (at least at the start) Marvel games on mobile platforms that have been making Marvel games more money than ever.
Again, people that need X-Men are the minorities. Not ever consumer does a literal pre-order cancel upon finding out there isn't all these characters that haven't been alongside these other characters in games for years. Whether that sentiment exists in MvC fans specifically is up for speculation.
This is old, but I didn't read that bit about them not being launch characters necessarily (and I find it pretty shaky that they corrected themselves afterwards to say they're not talking about launch necessarily).
I don't even believe Capcom is capable of that aggressive of a DLC plan, if I'm honest. 4 seasons a year would be great and probably everything everyone wanted with post-launch support for MvC3, but in that case the game should really launch at a lower pricepoint.
But yeah, I guess the 2019 MvC:I digital deluxe edition will be the greatest MvC of all time for people? And expensive as fuck.

He has plenty of other supers outside of Midnight Bliss. There's also nothing actually stating that Midnight Bliss is what stops him from getting into crossovers, but a lot of people expect him to have it, and it would be a lot of extra work for not that much pay off

Midnight Bliss IIRC.
But if Jedah is indeed in the roster, I think that Capcom can make Demitri too.
I wouldn't mind her. She was fun to play in 2.

Yes yes yeeeeees. I loved Demitri thanks to PxZ (loved his interactions with Dante and Morrigan as well). Was dissapointed to learn he wasn't featured as playable in most Capcom crossovers. This needs to happen.
Oh, really? They didn't include that part of Midnight Bliss in the PxZ games and it was fine. Either way, go for it Capcom!

Is there any precedence for a retail, $60 game that's had a poor launch but has accumulated a community and commercial success via microtransactions and DLC?
SFV perhaps but we don't even really know besides the fact that they're still investing in it (and fans seem sort of happy with the content)?
I'm rolling my eyes at aggressive DLC plans when/if MvC:I bombs at retail. Wouldn't be surprised at the strategy Riku described, though. People, including me, will probably pay. In general, I'm reaaaaaaaaaally skeptical that games can make up for lost ground for poor launches with DLC and sales down the road. At least it never works that way for the games with the biggest communities.

Only game I can think of is Rainbow Six: Siege. The launch wasn't all that great but things got better and it has a dedicated fanbase. However the DLC being free helped with that (You can still pay for skins and early access to heroes and other things). Fighters there doesn't seem to be any, though Killer Instinct seems to have the best free mode now that they rotate the free characters more often.

Honestly can't think of any games off the top of my head. Most that end up become successful through MTs and DLC still have fairly decent openings.
Edit: ^ Jaw, I was thinking of Siege too but I think I'd consider that as a decent opening rather than a bad/poor one. It sold decently in its launch month and had good legs almost immediately. I can see the argument the other way too though, so that does seem like a good example.
MvC:I will be at D23 in July. There's only so much time between now and release but June and July are packed with announcement opportunities, and D23 is one of the more likely ones even if it's close to EVO.
Hopefully we get the real important announcements - some damn key art so I can start working on the OT.

SDCC will be where the real shit drops, it's always a big event for Capcom (UMvC and SFxT were both revealed their.)

A DLC plan like that for a full price game just seems like poor business practice IMO. With this lackluster of a roster (not saying its horrible, but it is definitely disappointing), there will likely be alot of people who just plain don't buy this game from the start.
Haven't paid attention to SFV at all due to how Capcom handled it, is that title doing well sales-wise?

Yeah that information is old, and all the guy did was change his info to now coincide with Ryce's leak. I dont know who this guy is or why does he keep going on with that fake leak...

As in "Heathcliff"
there are quite a lot of events starting with E3 then we still have D23, EVO, SDCC, Gamescom, NYCC, TGS and PSX.

No pre-release announcement for MVC:I will be half as hype as this at NYCC for MVC3:

I wonder how much there really is to reveal? I'm sure they'll go over other stones and stuff and probably story too. I can't imagine they'll be making too many reveals for characters, unless they start jumping into DLC.

I'm actually sitting here watching all of it now. People are hype just to see the different skins. Like the hype is so freakin real. I almost forgot how much we all fell in love for MVC3
