Yeah I'll be honest, the more I think about it the less I think the new Capcom villain will be Jedah. There's just too much about him steeped in being viscerally gory and creepy that I don't think he could fit. Raptor is freaky but he's still a largely comedic character. There's like one move you'd have to get rid to make him work.

Hell maybe this whole time Ryce was talking about Sigma.

I mean, if Sakurai was able to censor Bayonetta for an E10+ game, censoring Jedah isn't out of the question.
 
I seriously doubt he'd be talking about Sigma based on how most have guessed him to be in. This character seemed to be a complete surprised with the way he worded it.

This series of panels summarizes everything I fucking hate in marvel right now. I would read anything this write pumped out if it was on this level of commentary. Nails all the problems with Marvel's creative in one big bang.

The only really problematic thing is the Cyclops situation. There's no real issue with Carol being Captain Marvel & Kamala being Ms. Marvel, though it'd be nice if Miles Morales got a unique name to set himself apart from Peter (same for Sam now that Richard is back). As for Viv Vision.....just read the recent Vision run, it's amazing.

DC can have 2 flashes but Miles can't be Spider-Man despite him filling a niche that Peter is frankly well above now?

Fair enough, though I wouldn't be opposed to Wally getting his own name to set himself apart from Barry, but that's another debate for another day. Regardless, I have nothing but respect for Miles & Kamala. I wasn't too big on Sam until recently.
 
So when it comes to the story mode, you guys imagine we'll have an opportunity to use villains as well? Or will we only have access to the good guys?

Really interested in the pairings.

Dick Rider being back and Kate Bishop having her own book almost makes up for many of my favorites being left to rot because they're not popular enough or don't fit whatever plan Marvel editorial has.

I'm hoping the story is mostly the heroes duking it out with each other, and the villain cast is kept to a minimum. There's definitely a lot of cool villains that could be playable, but I'd rather play as the heroes.

Say what?! Villains are barely represented as it is.

Personally, I want more villains!
 
How are Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Punisher superficially similar? Visually, they look nothing alike, and they would all have distinct gameplay hooks.

Daredevil - two batons, radar sense (slowdown, dodging)
Iron Fist - Rekka-style kung fu, chi power-ups
Luke Cage - grappler/brawler with hyper armor
Punisher - firearm/explosive specialist
Yeah I can't really see a reason why all four of them can't be in

Yeah, when I read through that earlier, I couldn't make sense of it. Even on the surface they're very different.

I am guessing that Marvel leak is fake because no one here is talking about it.

LMAO @ the notion of Zangief and having a SF DLC. And LOL @ not having more than one DMC character on there when DMC5 is incoming.

dude have you been stuck under a massive boulder for the last 3 or 4 days or something?

unless you are talking about a new leak, if so, mah bad boo.

Yeah, it's pretty bad for MVC3 since we only have Wesker, then they finally add Firebrand, Vergil and Nemesis to the roster in UMVC3.

I really hope that they would outdone themselves with villains this time, along with other categories as well.

The potential dlc money this game could make off of dlc character packs and costumes, is bonkers

Yup, gimme me Ms. Marvel costume for Captain Marvel.
 

IntelliHeath

Isn't the umvc3 firebrand the good one from the demon's credt games?



Can we leave the white washing out of video games?



:p


Psssh, BassForever pls. It's one of most obvious alternate costume for characters, unless they decided to go with Binary form.

I'm one of those biggest advocate for Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) to be in MVC:I. She's one of few reasons why I really hope that they wouldn't based the roster on MCU.

Squirrel Girl, She-Hulk, Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel really need to be in this game, along with Scarlet Witch and Storm.
 
You know, I mostly ignored Lord Raptor throughout my life. I just always thought he looked annoying and stupid. Well, after the recent talk about him, I decided to give him a try in Darkstalkers 3. The character ended up being a lot more fun than I expected.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in now.
 
While I was thinking Jon Talbain and Jedah are better DS representative, I like playing as Lord Raptor more. I would also like Wily. So bring it on.

It's gonna be trash, maybe Twelve?


She would probably just use Super-8 in her supers just like Jin with Blodia.


If you're counting every bad dude as a villain then Hideo counts.

Who was the one pushing for Twelve on UltraChenTV? Was it UltraDavid? I don't know....a fleshed out Twelve could be interesting but at that point just give me a symbiote :p

I could see Devilot as herself or always inside Super-8 being equally interesting options

I wonder if Jedah would keep his weird inflation grab. Not sure how it would work on certain Marvel characters....or if Marvel would be cool with that...
And this
because it might be hard to do in a 3d game?

Just barely didn't count him as a villain. Should have put him as a possibility. Servbot was another that I almost labeled a villain

Its kinda hilarious how the TenCount guy stated that his "source" was angry at him for leaking things....yet gave him more things to leak. Because that makes sense.

Sorry to hear about that Ryce. After said character is revealed/the game is released would you be able to tell us who it was you were teasing? Or would it be clear just by the reveal trailer?

I hope that Nova meets the newly resurrected Night Thrasher, as well as Speedball, Justice, and Firestar in that new Nova comic.

We need more Anti-hero representation.

Deadpool, Spawn, Ghost Rider, C.Viper... and Ada Wong :3
Deadpool probably won't happen until DLC at best (Fox ban & whatnot), and Spawn isn't even Marvel (though he has a shot at being a guest character in Injustice 2). Ghost Rider is a possibility, though.

I just saw the Max video which was recently uploaded. I saw some hints of Capcom character by Ryce but that's all.

Honestly roster speculation doesn't interest me that much so I just glance through this thread quickly, I just want mechanics/controls/modes information.
 
Isn't the umvc3 firebrand the good one from the demon's credt games?

Firebrand is a weirdo case who was made even weirder thanks to localization.
The "species" of demon he belongs to is called the Red Arremers (though some versions of the English GnG games called them Red Blazes or Red Devils I believe). The protagonist of the Gargoyle's Quest games (and Demon's Crest is essentially GQ3 for all intents and purposes) is also named Red Arremer. In fact, in Japan the GQ games are called "Red Arremer".
t's never exactly specified whether the enemy in the GnG games is the same Arremer appearing multiple times or if it's several, however, the implication is that the protagonist of the GQ games is a member of that particular species, much like there's unique Toads called Toad.
In the English localization of Gargoyle's Quest, Red Arremer was renamed "Firebrand", but in Japan his name is Red Arremer still (even in UMvC3 - if you watch Japanese footage or his Japanese announcement trailer, you'll see his name being displayed as such), and he doesn't utilize any powers from the Gargoyle's Quest games either, only from his appearances in the GnG series, which means that it's not exactly clear if he's supposed to be a generic Arremer or Firebrand.

In his own spin-off games, Firebrand is indeed the hero of the demon world, but it IS the demon world, and especially in Demon's Crest it's a quest for personal gain and power, bringing him closer to being an anti-hero.
 
I mean, if Sakurai was able to censor Bayonetta for an E10+ game, censoring Jedah isn't out of the question.

Censoring Bayonetta's sexiness compared to this:

I don't know about that.. I feel like he'd end up getting a complete overhaul which would defeat the purpose of even having him in the game.

For the first one just change the blood color.
The second one is abstract enough that it's fine.

They could go and make it black, and the. Tone it down from looking like blood. The head cut though would be out.

Guys the decapitation can be done non graphically, look at Alisa who decapitates herself (among other dismembered body parts).

Sure she's a robot, but Jedah isn't human, he's the anti-Christ.

Tekken remains a T for Teen game and the only country that censors Alisa is South Korea. (Different graphical effects are subbed in, for example her chainsaw arms become laser swords.)

She's a robot though. Yeah Jedah isn't human, but he doesn't look as cartoony as say if lord raptor did the same thing, since he's a zombie.

It could stay in, not disagreeing there. But it'd be heavily altered I think.

Jedah cutting off his own head to shoot blood at the opponent is the most damning one.

Anyway, couldn't they get around the ratings by making him DLC?

Less to be with rating, and more to do with Marvel just not wanting shit like that in their game.

Maybe they could retool Jedah's animations to look similar to how they did Blackheart.

And just remove the excesive blood splashes from the contract super, conceptually it's not that different from dormammu's lvl 3 super, and several characters in the Marvel universe had done contracts with the devil anyways hahahaha.

That's just an assumption. MvCi has a wildly different demographic from their Lego games etc, and they're not averse to touching on darker subjects (see: TV series). We have no clue what they want or expect for this game. Sure, self decapitation may be out of the question, but the rest is pretty reminiscent of Venom/Blackheart visually if they changed the blood color.
