Was her name Lucia? She was the DMC2 character right?

I know people hate DMC2, but how did they feel about her?

I personally want Trish to come back, but I'd accept Lady

Spoiler

We'll actually get

She's Lucia from DMC2, the second playable character in that game.

Her design is cool, I don't think I have heard anyone say bad about her design. Her personality, back story and character is just really bland but I chalk that up to DMC2.

She has a strange Devil Trigger in that when she transforms she resembles more like an Angel. She is more agility and close quarter based than Dante and uses stuff like daggers/bombs at long range.


Would be appropriate for a Marvel game of course as a rushdown character with some trickery and zoning toolset. Kinda like an Ibuki character with a DMC twist on her. She doesn't have teleports or Helm Breakers/Stingers so people wouldn't as salty.

 

[Jawmuncher]

The fact they farmed out 3 to Spark Unlimited after the first two were internally developed suggests to me they were just about ready to be done with the series, unless 3 somehow sold really well. I think one of the financial reports mentioned that 3 underperformed, so it's probably super dead.

This has me curious about Dead Rising 4. Since atm, things aren't sounding too hot for it.

 

[remz]

I hope Itsuno's game is Dragon's Dogma 2 or something new. Whenever he talks about DMC it's like he's worried about it getting tired, but with Dogma it seemed like there was plenty of room to make more games.

I think just Dad Dante would be plenty of DMC reprenstation. Generally my favourite mvc characters are the ones I don't see coming, so I hope capcom really goes to the IP Mines and digs up some suprise character nuggets rather than rehashes.

 

[Sesha]

Dead Rising might be safe if Microsoft provided funding, which would take some of the heat off. I'm sure they'll be thinking really hard about what direction to take the series further if sales end up worse than DR3.

Is there any substantial DLC confirmed? I can't remember if there is any.

Holiday Pack, Minigolf, and Overtime Mode. With the last being the only one of importance.

Seems meagre compared to SFV and RE7. Of course, those are bigger games. But Capcom is all about providing DLC long term in between sequels, with major titles every year in order to always have something out. I wonder if they have anything more planned for DR4 they haven't announced.

I could see some extra DLC hitting when it hits PS4. Much like we saw with tomb raider.

her cartwheel kick (I think its a handspring actually...I think. I'm not a gymnast) is pretty cool, watching some footage of her in action. I could see her being a very cool acrobatic character. Haven't got to see her devil trigger in-game yet.

 

[lupinko]

Dead Rising will continue to be inhouse probably since it's pretty much all what Capcom Vancouver does.

If only the leak talked about Gene being in MvC:I because God Hand 2 is in development. RIP Clover.

It's a shame Dantes DMC2 design and Lucia are attached to DMC2. Lucia had a sweet design, I'd love for her to come back in any form.

 

[Durrzerker]

I hate Udon Taskmaster, way too 'tacticool', but hey, no problems with it being in the game as long as his proper costume is in.

As Taskmaster himself said in a comic, "I know my cape isn't practical, but I love the way it looks."

Can't stand any capeless look for him.

 

[I-hate-u]

Only 1 DMC character? Good joke.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Sometimes I wake up and I still can't believe a new MvC game is happening. After the last couple of hype trains I sort of gave up hope.

I doubt anything could let me down at this point, but I'd really like to see at least a few characters return from MvC3. If the roster is half-returning half-new, that'd be perfect. Even if none of the limited amount of characters I played made it back in.

 

[direct_quote]

Only 1 DMC character? Good joke.

Yah seriously, give me Nero, Dante, and Vergil please (and Lady).

 

[Rhaknar]

Cant wait for the next gameplay reveal so we can stop all this hype from speculation and go back to shitting on no assists, 2v2, casual etc.

:3

 

[I-hate-u]

Yah seriously, give me Nero, Dante, and Vergil please (and Lady).

I would be okay with them cutting the girls and Vergil provided Nero is in. Despite much fewer weapons than Dante, he has so much potential with the Devil Bringer OTG/wall bounce, revving up red queen and charging up blue rose.

But it will never happen if Spencer is because of the Devil Bringer mechanics crossover.

 

[Weiss]

I mean, when you get down to it, tag-ins instead of assists just kind of cuts out the middle man, doesn't it?

You don't need Deadpool/Wesker/Haggar to exist solely for prolonging your combos. Now you do that manually.

And anything that kills shit like Hidden Missiles is fine by me.

It's not like Hidden Missiles are gonna be in the game, anyway (at least in the base roster).

That was a really roundabout way to bring up the X-Men/FF thing again.

 

[Neoxon]

That was a really roundabout way to bring up the X-Men/FF thing again.

Though I feel like DLC is gonna cause PTSD for all of those who had to endure Hidden Missiles (myself included). Damn things blew my Wright to kingdom come.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

They could create assist that don't prolong combos. I mean, I keep seeing people say assists were only made to extend combos but what about the other functions? Assists that help lockdowns, approach, zoning, mix-ups, etc. What happened to assists being seen as extensions of a character rather than combo extenders?

That don't prolong combos? You'd have to add mad scaling to them on hit then making the usage of them mid combo or as a starter something that would significantly shorten the length of the combo before people could tech out of it. If this were the case folks would likely use setups more and fish for resets with assists rather than generalized extensions.

This is the primary concern, and I would say assists helping prolong combos was more of a thing in MvC3 than it was in any of the previous/other Vs. games.

This is a huge deal, and kind of what separated MvC from other team games.

 

[J-Tier]

It's not Marvel without Doctor Doom. His DLC return will be glorious.

 

[Dahbomb]

The good assists in Marvel 3 and in Marvel 2 were neutral assists not combo extenders. If you built your team around two OTG assists for combos then you team was bad. MOST of the neutral assists could be used for combos as well or other purposes (like mix ups) which was why they were strong.

So talking about assists in the limited scope of combos is a very narrow way of looking at assists. Sure with a tag combo system you do not need combo assists.. what about assists that cover super jump height, assists that are used as get off me, assists that cover the horizontal screen, assists that lock down or have other utility like meter/HP gain. These aren't things that a tag system can provide easily.

 

[Jawmuncher]

If only the leak talked about Gene being in MvC:I because God Hand 2 is in development. RIP Clover.

That's another series I think they'd just start over if they made a new game. The game didn't sell a lot in the first place, and it's been so long. That a numbered sequel probably wouldn't even be of interest to them.

 

[sixteen-bit]

God Hand 2 will be a Vanquish buddy cop crossover

 

[J-Tier]

With the Monsters Unleashed, Inhumans vs. X-Men and more comic arcs coming up, you guys think they'll draw any characters from that?

At least one Inhuman is a shoe-in.

Though the only ones who have any chance are probably as follows in order of chances:

Ms. Marvel
>
>
>
Black Bolt
>
>
Medusa
>
>
Quake
Karnak
Crystal
>
>
>
>
Lockjaw
Synapse

I don't think anyone else has a chance.

 

[christiankid7]

Gorgon could be cool since he's a horse-man, I wonder how he'd play

Of the Inhumans I'd only really like the 3 in the middle there (Karnak, Crystal, Quake) plus Gorgon.

No clue who the monsters are going to be in Monsters Unleashed but

he'd be cool

 

[Weiss]

Ms. Marvel is a guarantee, and I don't think Black Bolt is impossible.

But, well, nobody cares about the Inhumans.

 

[Harpoon]

Monsters Unleashed is all about the giant monsters, not Man-Thing, Werewolf by Night, or the like, so unless the game has giant characters, I don't think that'll tie in.

 

[Neoxon]

Ms. Marvel is a guarantee, and I don't think Black Bolt is impossible.

But, well, nobody cares about the Inhumans.

I do think we'll get Ms. Marvel & at least one of the Royal Family. I could also see us getting Quake thanks to SHIELD (having her voiced by Chloe Bennet would be a cool selling point for people who follow Agents of SHIELD).

 

[Platy]

As sure as we've ever been.

So we will have a new Devil May Cry with Street Fighter 6 ?

 

[christiankid7]

I think we'll see a new DMC before then


people on other sites are linking Lupinko's tweets to Songbird. I wanna believe that's true, but I don't think he's hinting at anything.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

You mean I won't see more Elsa Bloodstone?

 

[Jawmuncher]

I personally think Lupinko knows nothing.
With the amount he has posted, seems like he's going for the "a broken clock is right twice a day" route.

 

[christiankid7]

You mean I won't see more Elsa Bloodstone?

Weeell..
They did say everyone in the Marvel universe will be affected but that's probably just a hyperbolic statement. Probably means everyone that has a current series....

It would make sense for a monster hunter like Elsa to be involved though. And actual monsters like ManThing and the current(?) Howling Commandoes

 

[Dahbomb]

He was tweeting out Jems again before Marvel Infinite and I didn't make much of it but them the Infinity gems were shown and I was like damn Lupinko tried to tell us again!

 

[Neoxon]

But not everything he posts is a hint.

 

[christiankid7]

But not everything he posts is a hint.

And as of now you can't really tell which is a hint and which is not. Unless its about Tekken, which is definitely not a hint. I don't think Retweets are hints either. If anything he posts even is a hint to anything.

 

[DerekOfTheDykes]

No clue who the monsters are going to be in Monsters Unleashed but

he'd be cool

I would shit a clay brick if Man Thing got announced. TELEPORTING GRAPPLER, YO!

 

[Sesha]

So we will have a new Devil May Cry with Street Fighter 6 ?

Who knows. I assume it's just referring to future releases of SFV, like Season 1/2 Edition and so on, or to future content.

 

[The God]

Is there a link to this leak?

 

[J-Tier]

You mean I won't see more Elsa Bloodstone?

She's going to be involved in the upcoming Monsters Unleashed along with Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and a few other heroes I don't remember.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I SWEAR we better see a Resident Evil character this month, or so help me....

 

[christiankid7]

Is there a link to this leak?

What leak exactly? The TenCount one is most definitely fake, the Songbird thing is people making connections from Lupinko's tweets to her character.

She's going to be involved in the upcoming Monsters Unleashed along with Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and a few other heroes I don't remember.

Awesome!

 

[Red Arremer]

It's pretty likely that the next Capcom character they'll show will be Dante or someone from Resident Evil.

 

[Dahbomb]

They should save Dante for when they unveil DMC5. Double dip on the hype.

Though before characters they should unveil system mechanics and at least controls.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Yep, i'm hoping they double dip with their announcements. Just means more hype for both.
RE7 is this month, an RE character reveal would be cool to see. Then like you said DMC or some other capcom game being announced, with a character from said game being announced for MVCI as well. The only issue would be incorporating the marvel reveal, if they keep the whole one per side thing going. But most of the time, marvel doesn't seem to care. Wesker was revealed with Spider-man at TGS, which for such a big character is odd.
