That's a pretty terrible excuse. I think most likely they just needed to get this pack out to make money while they can.
The shitty thing is that further costumes will have this same problem for uniformity's sake.
But aren't these the only alt costumes on the disc? I assume that means they're the only ones that were actually finished. I can't imagine they'd repeat this mistake...but hey it's Capcom who the hell knows.
It's truly unbelievable that there are no alt colors. I thought a light purple Dante alt was a given. He'd be so much cooler if he looked more like Prince.
I also thought maybe they'd atone for their sins and restore PINK THOR. I bet some partypooper at Marvel is keeping that dream from becoming a reality.
Maybe they're going to sell the alt colors separately, like Arcsys did with BlazBlue. Ugh.

Cry more. I expected Spectator and Replays coming from SSF4. Capcom has had ten years in the waiting to release a new Marvel (just a matter of getting the license back) and they've fucked it up ten ways to Sunday with their weird design decisions.
But, do enjoy the new character costumes that mostly look like shit outside of Chris' and a "play the developers mode" no one really gives a shit about! That'll show Capcom they should release a better product!
Boy, I included that little "not defending Capcom" disclaimer in hopes of avoiding a reply like this...and hey, here it is anyway.
Capcom deserves to be flamed. I've said that quite a few times. I wasn't defending them. I was flaming you and your crazy OCD.
Would you even regularly use spectator mode or replays if they didn't have achievements tied to them? Because it seems when you're not playing backseat developer you're raging about achievements. It sure doesn't seem like you play (or discuss) games because you actually enjoy them.
Also these aren't all weird design decisions so much as 'oh shit our release date just got pushed up 3 months hurry hurry' decisions. I don't think the current state of the game is due to developer laziness or incompetence and I think pissing all over the dev team is kinda crappy when it looks like most of the fault lies with the corporate side. Shit, I'm honestly surprised this game isn't an even bigger trainwreck. I remember Steel Battalion: Line of Contact, man. That game didn't even fucking work.
Spectator mode needs to be added (along with a dozen other things) but I'm guessing it'll never be patched in. I'd love to be proven wrong! But personally I can live without it cuz holy shit I hate waiting my turn. It should be there though.

Online is perfect, only takes about 5-10 mins to get into a match where you'll most likely be facing the same guy for the third time who plays like his life is on the line and plays keep away until he can get 5 meters for his phoenix. That is, if you can actually get a match as the online is too good sometimes and fails to match you up with anyone. One of my favorite features is how they show your win losses before a match but the online in this game is so good that instead of your actual records they show completely random numbers! So good!
I'm not even going to go into how good having to watch cards clang against each other instead of the match is, fucking revolutionary right there. Sometimes I don't know how Capcom comes up with this stuff.
Fight request. Player match. You will have none of these issues. Well OK sometimes you run into the play2win bores but there's not much you can do about that.

Wow @ shadow mode. The 15 star ranked guy just got perfected by me doing nothing but Arthur's homing arrows + hidden missiles. Amazing!
The first two stood there waiting for me to punch them. It seemed even worse than normal arcade. I perfected both of them. The third threw out some psychic hypers and one thirty hit Chun-Li combo but still went down astonishingly easy. I'm sure had I used a ranged character she never would have touched me. It looks like they just pull a quote and a character list and maybe a personal combo or two? But you'll probably never see any of that cuz the computer is so damn bad.
