I'd love to see BlazBlue more centrally-focused.
Sadly, I doubt it ever will. DS4 has a chance, though, if we ever get it.

I don't blame anyone dropping marvel. It's gonna cause aneurysms and strokes
The time is right for Darkstalkers 4.
I'm looking forwardto getting my hopes instantly shattered when it doesn't get revealed tomorrow.
Uhh, they already said it's a trailer for Street Fighter IV.
Wait, they did? I must have missed that.
Well, thanks for the destroying my hopes/dreams earlier than I had intended. It's less painful this way. :/

GGXrd looks flashy enough and has a ton of sparks, so maybe.
KI certainly looks dumb enough, but who knows.
They'll flash "Darkstalkers is not dead" at the end of the trailer and reveal
a Morrigan DLC costume for Chun-Li in v.2014
the way Capcom is acting I don't think we see a new fighting game from them for a little while. I think SFXT bombed so hard that it might be hard for them to greenlit another fighting game so soon
edit: Also downloadble games like MVC: Origins and Darkstalkers Resurrection bombed also.

I expect "Darkstalkers isn't DEAD!" followed by a Morrigan DLC costume for one of the female characters in SSFIV ver. 2014.

lol, that's what I was trying to type and completely effed it up. Too sleepy, man. 4 in the morning.
Haha, no worries man. It's getting late here too. -_-
I know I should sleep, but all of this EVO hype isn't helping things. At least the Finals tomorrow start a little later than the Pools the last few days. Maybe I can actually get my morning coffee this time!
It will help
a bit...

So, how about that AE?
Even better!
Morrigan/Lei-Lei/Felicia alts for ALL female characters!
I'd actually be really hyped about this if they also included Dimitri/Jedah/Bishamon alts for the fellas

I don't think Capcom is getting the license back. I really think that Marvel is a dead game to them. I also think that CAS is a strong possibility...It seems that people will shift their focus away from Marvel after Evo. Which is fair because the game has gotten pretty stale. The other games are still getting new content and updates.
When will Capcom get that Marvel licence back?
Marvel really needs an overhaul to combat the staleness, though. The game is fantastic, but there were a lot of really poor core decisions made, like the high damage meta-game and X-Factor. A reset-based fighter is always more interesting to watch than a ToD one. One reason the game is losing some steam is that every match between competent players goes like this:
1) Get hit.
2) Lose a character.
3) Lose second to an incoming mix-up + pressure.
4) Burn XF3 to avoid incoming mix-ups.
5) Maybe make a comeback.
Even though Street Fighter has its own scrubby comeback mechanic, it's far more interesting in practice. People still get hype when someone lands an Ultra, but when Vergil goes XF3 I go do some dishes for a minute or two.
People need to check out that ChrisG guy.
I think KI won't even last as long as MK. I stand by the fact that a game with a combo system that is basically endless TACs is a bad competitive game. If someone brings it to locals, I'll have fun jumping around and poking people with Glacius.
Maybe Skullgirls will pick up more players as time goes on. The game gets continual support and is a better Marvel game than Marvel 3 is in a few ways. It also has some problems, but they are less hindering.
If only it were remotely appealing to Marvel players.
Salt, meet wound. Apply liberally, and rub as hard as you can.
That would basically be the experience for me.

I still hope for the next-gen DS4 miracle, but I almost don't want it with the way Capcom is .___.

I think they're fun as side-games. To me, any 1v1 game can only be a side game, because the matchups I have to deal with become redundant pretty fast. Team-based fighters are enjoyable because:
1) They involve a ton of creativity.
2) You can make a team that feels like it is "yours".
3) Team synergy means that your matches rarely get stale.
Assuming the game is well made and well balanced, of course.

A costume? you guys are fools if you dont think it will just be Morrigan straight up.

fuckin' called it, man
If only it were remotely appealing to Marvel players.
I like one character in BB and dislike looking at the rest.
Yeah, we'll have to see about KI. They recently added combo breaker breakers? Something like that. I have no idea how it's supposed to work, but maybe you can actually "tech" combo breakers, which would make it less of a TAC-like mechanic. Honestly, I think I'm just desperate for something new and fresh at this point, and Injustice really isn't my cup of tea.
And despite problems, it's also going to have updates and character additions as time goes on.
Maybe Skullgirls will gain more traction. I certainly hope it does.
But wouldn't it be fun to beat up on the ugly characters with the one that you like?
New exciting ways to pop x-factor.
I'd fucking love it. New main confirmed.
EDIT: Actually it'd be kinda neat to have Morrigan w/Limiter as a character. She had a more SF-esque moveset and fewer movement options in order to blend into the roster since she's just there for fun. She could be dressed in her Casual Friday costume.

Every day getting money
Very sad news if thats the case. The game has superb gameplay in its combo flow and snap-ness. Truly Capcom is unrivalled in combo and combat designing as shown in this game and DMC4. The game does need some overhaul as you mentioned and I hope Capcom does not cast away the fighting mechanics in this game.
This would be the most legendary troll if it used the old 2D Versus Morrigan sprite.

I mean in terms of tournament activity levels. NRS can pay for MK to be in as long as they want. Ditto for Microsoft and KI.
I intend to when it comes out next gen, but again, as a side game. No 1v1 game can hold my interest as a main game.
I like several BB characters, but I can't handle playing quite of a few of them (lol Arakune bug combos). I will probably hold off on this next version and wait for the final game. I find Rachel the most interesting right now, but I don't dig the loli thing.
I was going to type a post about what makes sense from Capcom's perspective, and then I remembered that Capcom rarely does what makes sense, and deleted it.
It's okay, I'm pretty-much numb to the pain by now. It still causes slight discomfort, though.
I'll agree with this. I still love Street Fighter IV, and I feel it's a lot more interesting to watch, at least in my personal opinion, than MVC3/SFxT, etc. You can get a few really great matches going if there are players who can do so.
MVC3, though, I find incredibly boring [basically for the reasons listed above]. I'm not going to necessarily say it's a bad game, since I know it has quite a bit of fans and it might be a lot of fun to play locally, but for tournament matches I just can't get excited. I've tried, I can't.
This is my third EVO [I know, I started late], and each year it's my least-exciting round of matches. My eyes usually just glaze over as it's assaulted by a barrage of color and flashes.
I'll still watch the Finals tomorrow, but it's definitely the game I'm least hyped for.
It's actually next week!
Darkstalkers is not happening. They might announce X1/PS4 versions next week though.
It's a general Capcom panel BTW, not SF specific.
Nope...
"You guys wanted Street Fighter with HD sprites, so we're pleased to announce..."

Tokido said that out of all the games he entered for Evo, he was the most confident for KOF.
I'm curious what we'll see since he's fighting MadKOF tomorrow.

Wouldn't this have been figured out already? I thought they had tickets for the event?
I think they'll reveal the fifth character at SDCC, and he'll be related to something else they reveal there. No reason to be so secretive with it if it isn't related to a new project.
