My personal list so far; it's a bit of an amalgamation of who I'd predict and who I'd personally want.

fantasyroster5butp.png


Honestly it's really hard to predict anything for this game. Conventional wisdom says there's probably going to be less characters in this game's starting roster than Marvel 3, but that makes it really hard to rationalize what characters of the obvious picks will return in order to make room for newcomers, as well as whether or not certain "groups"/franchises have to be toned down to make representation fair.

As much as I hate the thought I feel like we're only getting one Darkstalkers rep this time (if we're getting two I'm erring towards Hsien-Ko over Felicia due to Capcom seemingly wanting more of a marketable exposure and we know what the likes of ESPN think of R.Mika for one). I'm kind of flip flopping on Strider, depending on what time of the day you ask me I'd say Asura is more likely. Phoenix Wright might be assumed as the easiest pick for the chopping block in terms of vets but he's among one of Capcom's most popular ongoing franchises as of present and I think they'll want him back for that reason.

Marvel side is a bit easier to predict but I think they're gonna want to throw a bone to some of their ongoing comics as well.

No zero?
 
I was wondering, for players want DMC characters, which version makes more sense to use? DMC4SE Vergil or keep umvc3 moves?
Dante with DMC4 makes sense if this would be a new iteration.
Dahbomb where are you?
 
I'm not surprised about that X thing. There was such a hubbub about needing a Mega Man, and X got the majority of the attention. Personally I still would have preferred Classic, but he got into Smash, so whatever.

Still have hopes that the Marvel side will have good MCU villain representation.

Iron Monger
Red Skull
Loki
Ultron
Abomination
Thanos

Letting us know X-Men/F4 are coming down the line is pretty big news.

I don't mind it, because we all know these are the sure sellers, well at least the X-men lol
 

IntelliHeath

As in "Heathcliff"
I'm very glad that Mega Man X made in the roster this time so I hope that we are going to get more variety in the roster, in term of franchises. I would love to see Breath of Fire rep tho.

Didn't Gene also top a lot of these along with Asura?

Gene, Yes. He made to top three pretty often when it come down to request polls/ballots.
 

SargerusBR

I love Pokken!

Iron Monger
Red Skull
Loki
Ultron
Abomination
Thanos
Abomination is the least likely candidate because of Hulk. I could see Iron Monger being a replacement for Sentinel tho.

I didn't plan on sharing this just yet, but with the incessant Fox ban discussion I thought I should speak up.

Yesterday, I was told with complete certainty that X-Men and Fantastic Four characters will be coming… as DLC. It's a done deal.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU

I feel like asura is too intense and hype to not be almost a lock for this game.


I mean he started a fight on earth that went to the moon and then back to the earth!

He also went one on one with Akuma!

Asura has to be in this

They need better cosmic Marvel representation.

Annihilus
Silver Surfer
Gladiator
Phyla-Vell
Gamora
Ronan

I want them all!

Capcom's actually doing to this game that they should have done with all their other games that have had issues this past decade.

- First in-house studio title the past decade
- X is getting the respect he deserves after fan requests
- X-Men and Fantastic Four will be in the game (as DLC but still you're giving people DLC for characters you know they actually want)
- Possibly a large amount of characters
- Amazing Story Mode that Marvel themselves are already mega-hyped about
- Rich single-player content that's already been mentioned
- Rich multi-player content that's already been mentioned

Looks dope so far.

According to this Famitsu interview, X's inclusion was directly influenced by him placing at the top of several UMvC3 surveys.

For those curious, I did a search for such polls and found the following

Dante with DMC4 makes sense if this would be a new iteration.
Dahbomb where are you?
DMC4SE Vergil is kinda broken even in that game. You need to make some adjustments.

I think you can make some slight adjustments and make it more like SE. They can make Vergil more interesting in this new game by adding in the motivation mechanic from SE. He starts out weaker and has lower range on normals but gets more motivated over time. You build that motivation meter by being aggressive, landing attacks and lose it if you get hit or whiff normals. They can add in perfect Judgment Cuts like EWGF to make him a skillful character like in SE. Some more aerial options like the air combo for Yamato and air Lunar Phase.

They have to make Spiral Swords cost 2 meter now. Or change it dramatically. Vergil from Marvel 3 would dominate in this game if it's going to play like I think it would.
 
I don't buy there being a Power Stone character and no Rival Schools character.

Didn't Capcom reach out a while ago at the possibility of a new Rival Schools/remake?

As much as I like Batsu's VA, I'd love to see Akira or give Hinata her turn. (Natsu would also be ok)

Can't find any other attack that looks as similar as that.

Oh, you're right. I'm an idiot... As I'm looking at the GIF now, it's definitely that. I was seeing something Completely different last night. xD
 
I like your list NotLiquid, but surely one of those from the Marvel side would need to be removed in order for Thanos to make his way. I think he is definitely a shoe-in.

Yep that's definitely looking like Crystal Hunter. He's got that, his X1 armor so they're keeping him faithful and grabbing moves from each game thus far. Amazing. Man, this is crazy I still can't believe X is actually in the game.

It's going to be most interesting how they handle Dante.

I think if they are porting heavily then we will just get DMC3 Dante. Which is fine because that's a great Dante moveset wise. Probably best to do that to save time and resources. They should add in Spiral moves too though.

The last two on the Marvel side are basically personal wishes that I don't entirely expect, and I fully anticipate Thanos to be there instead lol

I don't know if they'll keep the whole moveset tbh. I hope they will. Dante is probably one of the best fighting game character ever created in that aspect.

Maybe this is a way that fox doesn't get a cut of the full game?

Doesn't marvel have to pay fox for merch?

Time for GAF, Capcom-Unity, SRK, reddit, etc. to make their own polls for Infinite.

I hope it's MvC3 Dante with his DMC5 look, and additional moves from DMC4 and DmC like Lucifer, Pandora, Ricoshit and Reverse Rainstorm. Maybe some from DMC5 as well.

For Dante I say they do the unthinkable and give him his DMC5 look with DMC5 inspired moves or at least a few from the game. That way, it'll be a "hey, DMC5 is happening and we have some moves for it check it out" sort of thing.
