Iron Man is confirmed for the game, though

heh, guess my lack of paying attention to Marvel for the last few years is showing. I have yet to see a single movie in the MCU.
I thought X-Men movies still do crazy numbers, though
I too miss the 90s Ballado
Wow, that would be a shitty move, a game company cutting out a major portion of a game and selling it as DLC.
Nah. Put Haggar in season 3 of SF5. MVCI needs a Saturday Night Slam Masters rep for the capcom grappler. What I want from Capcom is more obscure characters from games like Rival Schools, Cyberbots, Slam Masters, Plasma Sword, Dino Crisis, Onimusha, Ghosttrick, Darkstalkers etc. The less returning characters from mvc3 the better.

MCU movies do better now
I'm hoping Haggar sits out, and is one of the season 2 "new" characters in SFV instead. He's long overdue in SF.

Yes, it has Zangief. SFV has plenty of room for him. They can play differently even if they fall under the same general archetype.
Nah, flip them this time. Let's see those two in Marvel.

The best grappler choice is clearly Biff Slamkovich. Dont kid yourselves

Well, there's Ryu, Ken and now Akuma
Exactly, let Haggar sit this one out
Don't forget Nash and Guile

I see a lot of lists with people picking Black Bolt as the Inhuman representative for this game. While I think that would be pretty sweet, I'd go as far to say that Karnak as a rushdown style character would be the better pick.

Nash now has a completely different style of play than Guile though. The only real comparison between them at this point is that they both have a strong fireball game and that they both use Sonic booms.

I vote Lockjaw.
Azam is a lock for season 2 and he'll fit the role as other heavy still grappler and can differentiate him from gief for than they can with Haggar. Put Haggar in sf and he's way to similar to gief, put him in marvel and it's way more creative freedom. And no I don't need Cody and Guy taking up 2 slots on an already limited roaster
Yeah and what makes you think they wouldn't change up Haggar?

Man I'm praying Asura joins just to see new players experience Asura's Wrath DLC bullshit for the first time again.
There's the possibility female representation on Marvel's side from the Thor series. Sif, Hela or maybe even that female Thor featured recently.
Howard the Duck and Machine Man seem like good candidates. Neither have been in the MvC fighting series before, I don't think. Odin would be kind of cool, same with Loki. War Machine is probably going to come back as a standalone character + the Iron Patriot as his alt costume swap.
Eh, could see Capcom go completely nuts with DLC costumes if they wanted to. Just the number of variations that have graced comic covers over the years, the movies, and just Iron Man's different armors alone ... it's hard not to think about.
My completely crackpot roster choice (which would itself require extra licensing) would be Ash Williams on the Marvel side (since he was in the Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness crossover).

Onimusha Blade Warriors (alongside MMZero).

Not saying that they can't change him up, just saying that it's unlikely.
Haggar's main thing is grappling. At best, they can make him a slow and hard hitting character with a command grab.
But why do that when there's already Birdie, A big slow character with hard hitting normals and high damage and a command grab, as well as Zangief who is the most grappli-est of them all.
Again, he can definitely show up but I don't think he'll show up for S2.
Plus there's also the fact that Ryu, Ken and Akuma are all fan favourites. Guile is also a fan favourite. Haggar is less popular than those characters who are almost considered the representatives for the series.
EDIT: So I suppose I kinda agree with you on the Season 3 stuff. Though my dream is that SF5 gets one Slam Masters character while MVC:I gets another.
and include Squirrel Girl. PLEASE.
Marvel current popularity list:
1. Iron Man
2. Spider-Man
3. Captain America
4. Deadpool
5. Hulk
6. Thor
7. Rocket Raccoon
8. Wolverine I guess?
it's not the 90s anymore, bub. Wolverine isn't as huge now as we like to think.
Iron Man wasn't in XSF, MSF or MvC1 for vs games.
Wolverine was in every marvel game starting with X-Men COTA.
haha, sure pal.
i think we're irreconcilable on this so i'll leave it that- i'm pretty sure my opinions vs yours here are exact opposites, haha
man i really hope they bring back unique theme team supers like double shinkuu though- its probably too much effort with a huge cast but its so fucking cool
edit also cyke with all his air normals intact and his meaga fucked up jhp
I can't agree with the bolded, given that they have more freedom to be creative with unique V-skills and V-trigger for each character than in previous SFs. It's not like Haggar has an SF move set defined yet. That argument would have more basis if he'd been in SF already and played the same. Again, if they take make Nash, who was almost identical to Guile before, much more unique now, they can do the same with Haggar.
Also, Haggar has a pipe. Zangief does not. How that is implemented in-game could make a big difference between them.
Do want:
Marvel:
X-23
Black Panther
Ms. Marvel
Daredevil
Ghost Rider (Reyes or Blaze will be fine)
Gambit
Carnage to please my inner edgelord
Capcom:
Wesker
Leon
Juri
Regina
The Merchant
Jack Baker A.K.A. Family Man
Those last two are very important.
Make it happen, Capcom. I'll buy it at a high price.

Throw in gizmo duck and darkwing duck and you get my money.
Thank goodness for 2-duck tag teams
Black Widow is pretty much guaranteed. She can borrow part of C. Viper's moveset
Its Quite Toasty

while on the subject of asura please let asura be in the game it would be so fucking cool.

Lol indeed!
Yeah, there's a chance for Storm as DLC.
Ingrid would be an SF rep no? Idk how I feel about that on a limited roster lol.
Lol I'm not sure if she would technically be considered a SF rep since she was originally supposed to make her debut in the cancelled Capcom Fighting Allstars game, but instead made it in Capcom Fighting Evolution or whatever it was called.

Get Ingrid the hell out of here
I want Saki too. She was a surprising addition to TVC for me. I enjoy the Capcom side of TVC in general.If Cable doesn't make it in as DLC I want Saki.
She was fun in TvC

I thought Zangief was sort of just a carbon copy of Haggar, who was planned to be in SF2 before they decided they wanted a Russian wrestler character as the grabbler and they put in Guile as the USA rep.
I dunno, I know SF has Ken and Akuma and all that, but I never really saw Capcom putting both Haggar and Zangief together in the same game.

I mean, even if they were still weirdly beholden to that
