Nah, I pretty much accepted the roster for what it is. Even I'm not expecting that type of scenario. Capcom isn't that clever.
That said, E3 is still going to be interesting.

Don't get me wrong, I love Nemesis and never expected him to return.
Seeing him pursued Chris in story mode should be interesting.

So when it says "Heroes and Villains will fight together", I'm guessing it'll only be Jedah and Thanos fighting alongside. Would Firebrand and Nemesis fight against Ultron-Sigma, too?

I hope we see the season pass chaRacters sooner rather than later. Even if it's through a leak.

Go back 10 years and ask someone which game would have Akuma
Marvel vs Capcom
Or
Tekken
They will always be wrong

I'll be super surprised if they do a felyne instead of an actual hunter

Have you been living under a rock the past 2 years? There was a mutant ban well into the game's development. Storm will be DLC at best.
lol.
Though I do actually agree, MODOK was a fantastic character and I'm genuinely sad they cut him. He was one of the ones I was pretty sure would get the axe, and I'm disappointed I was right.
Then again most of the Marvel side stinks anyway so no real surprise.

My exact thoughts on all this and to be quite honest, a factor which makes me still want the game.

Now that we somewhat got a grasp of what we getting, here's a question I have for you guys. This, or a X-Men vs Street Fighter 2??
i'd take X-men vs Street Fighter Screw that, shit would blow my mind again just seeing cyclops and ryu giving each other handshakes.
One of the lead XMvSF guys is working on this.

Even with the gimp roster I'd still take this over a straight marvel or capcom fighting game. I'm always going to prefer a vs game over a single franchise game even if it's vs something I have no knowledge of (Tatsunoko).

You have Wesker, Phoenix Wright, Loki and Vergil on yours, so it's 100 times better than the shit we're getting.

Arguably? It's unquestionably better.

Marvel didn't even try imo. They put the entire burden of making attractive roster solely on Capcom's side and there was no way Capcom could please everyone with just fourteen slots.
This better damn well be the name of the OT lol.
I wonder if people are still really expecting a robust story mode and shit after all this and the september release. It's looking more and more like another SF5 style rush job, and that one at least had new models >_>

So after coming to terms with the roster. I do think the plan for dlc for this game is to release them in packs of 3.
I can easily see a
Xmen pack(Wolverine/Mag/Deadpool)
SF Pack(Akuma/Viper/Sfv rep)
Defenders Pack(Daredevil/Punisher/Iron Fist)
Resident Evil Pack(Wesker/Leon/Jill)
Villians Pack(Doom/Skrull/Loki)
DMC Pack(Vergil/Trish/Nero)
3 Marvel packs/3 Capcom packs. All the characters we all want back are there. This also wouldn't include any characters from the 6 were getting at the end of this year (Sigma/Venom/4 more)
I hate to say it but i would buy everyone of these packs and this only includes 6 newcomers.(Sfv Rep, Daredevil, Punisher, Leon, Loki, Nero) The rest is just ported from Marvel 3. Looking at this i see the business sense of it from Capcom's point of view. As scummy as it is. Little to no work at all porting over all the characters and they make millions from it
Also (and i might be in the minority here) But i don't think Marvel's side is that bad. Like we KNEW Marvel's roster was gonna be MCU based. Yet were complaining that it's MCU based?? When u realize then Venom and X-men are coming down the line Marvel's side is honestly not bad at all. Needs more females(Scarlet Witch/Black Widow/Ms.Marvel) But it's not bad.
Capcom's side is the real travesty here. Capcom's side was the side where they were able to take risk and add diversity. Again we KNEW Marvel's side would be MCU based. So thinking characters like Squirrel Girl Gwenpool or Howard the duck was gonna be in is just fooling yourself. HOWEVER there was a very good chance we could finally get Regina/Gene/Asura/Falcon/Nero and Capcom just COMPLETELY dropped the ball here. Jedah alone, as awesome as he is can't save that roster.

That list of characters would still be completely missing any minority characters. Can you imagine the (rightful) shit show if they decided to do a defenders pack and excluding Jessica Jones and Luke Cage while throwing in fucking Punisher? And X-Men with no Storm.
First of all, Squirrel Girl has already been confirmed for the MCU and Howard the Duck is in both Guardians movies. The supposed "MCU only" rule wouldn't apply to them.
More importantly though, being MCU based is not an acceptable excuse for having a roster completely lacking any minorities and having only two females. The MCU has Robbie Reyes, Quake, Hellcat, Falcon, War Machine, Night Nurse, Black Widow, Deathlock, Misty Knight, Medusa, Black Panther, Mockingbird, Scarlet Witch, Colleen Wing, Cloak and Dagger and Jessica Jones. Even without mutants, the "well it had to be MCU" excuse is still bullshit for the almost exclusively white male Marvel side.
A Robbie/Daisy team would have been incredible.
I don't think that's the problem... It's the poor, Disney-mandated MCU roster choices upsetting everyone.
This is another FF7R for me. Lots of excitement upon seeing the announcement, which is totally thrown into a dumpster and set on fire by more information trickling out. I want to be excited, but I'm just not. I hate the MCU outside of Guardians of the Galaxy. Its existence annoys me. Seeing it suck the life out of this broke me.

I think it's likely. Rider was voiced by Troy Baker in 3, Baker is also the recent voice for Hawkeye for Assemble however he's not voicing him in Infinite, I don't think they'd do that unless Baker was voicing another character.

To be fair marvel's 3 dlc characters this year are all but confirmed to be Venom/Black Panther/Daredevil if the variant covers are anything to go by.

I agree and thats what i think is gonna happen as well. Were already getting 6 dlc characters in the span of 3 months. Thats the same amount that SFV got in a entire year.
If we can get 12-14 characters a year for the next 2 years i actually won't be upset at that. It also keeps the game fresh. It's one of the main reasons Overwatch is my most played game right now because almost every month their is something new.

I'd be more okay with moba-style DLC character releases if this wasn't a full $60 priced game. You can't have it both ways ways, capcom.
