Marvel reveals could be tied into movie releases. I can easily see Rocket Raccoon being revealed around the time GotG2 comes out, Spider-Man for Homecoming, and Thor or Hulk for Thor 3. Dr. Strange perhaps revealed for the DVD release of his film. Dunno. I mean they can easily make it work that way too heh.
I also can see them saving some popular names for the big comic cons.
Beyond those though, I don't think it really matters much to Marvel in which order/pairing the characters get revealed.
That as well. Spider-Man is much MUCH more popular outside of NA than any other superhero is. Even more than Batman or Superman.

Y'all forget about Spiderman with a super robot? That was my indication that Spiderman's Japan popularity was a cut above the rest.
I also remember Spiderman got revealed at TGS and I 'think' there was some fanfare.

Its sad how weak Leopardon was written in Spider-verse. I still haven't got a chance to read all of it, but I did see the panels. All that buildup and hype and it gets torn up in one to two panels.

He's basically responsible for Sentai and Kamen Rider, right?

Spider-Man should just be based off the Japanese version after looking more into it.

I do know Miguel and Lady Spider fix it up again, but I don't think it becomes relevant and was just a way to get from 2099 to her dimension.
Also, I was pretty disappointed this guy made no appearance in Spider-verse to my knowledge even though he was in the teaser image
After seeing that gif of the AntMan movie (at least I think I did?) I wonder how an AntMan stage would look

I'm not a fan of this Spider or anything but it would have been interesting to see what happens when a Ghost Rider gets involved fighting the inheritors.

Fixed that for ya.
All those people... I... epic fail...
Both Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and Kamen Rider predate Toei Spider-Man by a few years. Three and seven years, respectively. But overall Spider-Man was one of the earliest shows. I don't know much about Super Sentai stuff, but I think Spider-Man's popularity helped propel the genre to what it is today.

What are the chances I can get ANY context for this?
I can't even fathom this gif, dudes
It helped settle some cliches from sentai stuff like giant robots

I don't know if I'm right since I haven't seen the origin show/episode, however, my guess would be that he's looking for some underground tunnel/pipe system by trying to find out which spot he's knocking on sounds hollow.
Yeah, I'm pretty hungry for new news lol.

You can't really have SamNova be a alternate costume with voice over of RichNova, since one's a kid and the other is an adult. They have to be different sizes by default, which means different ranges and thus they wouldn't be the exact same character. At best, you'll get them with swapped costumes, like we had in UMvC3, which its adult Nova wearing kid Nova's costume, but it still being Rich's voice. Or vice versa with Sam wearing the classic costume, if he's the default character.
They are waiting the Switch direct for more character reveals ;D

Real talk, let them take the MRS approach and don't reveal jackshit till 3 months before release.
Real real talk give us something Capcom.

It's the Spider-Man vs Ant-Man scene from 2016's blockbuster hit Captain America: Civil War.

Actually, didn't vanilla mvc3 have a cover story on Game Informer back in the day? I remember they put their own wishlist which included Phoenix Wright, Vergil and Wesker(those naive bastards).

Game Informer had a big article on it the month after the reveal I believe, and may have been the official reveal for Cap and Felicia, though mostly everyone knew about them being in due to the silhouettes.

Street Fighter 5 was revealed in December and we didn't get a character trailer for Nash until the end of February, and then things went quiet for awhile again until the end of May with a Bison trailer. It wasn't until after E3 we had monthly trailers for SF5.
MvC:I is suppose to come out this year so I hope they aren't quiet all the way until E3.

To be fair SFV had only 16 characters to show within the timespan of a year and two months. MvCI will probably have twice the amount of that and it's most likely coming out around October.

MvC:I will most likely have a larger roster too so I doubt that they'd go that route, unless they're gonna continue with the whole "reveal one character from Capcom and one character from Marvel at the same time" thing.

There is a rumor that would point at roster's number being 32, but I really hope that they would manage to push the numbers toward to 40 by miracle but it's highly unlikely tho.
I would love to see them trying to beat MVC2 numbers because they were so close with UMVC3 but they had to cut 8 characters at the end.
Keep in mind that they're reusing animations from UMvC3. As such, I'd be disappointed if they don't go for at least 40. If they redid the animations from scratch like SFV, I'd be a bit more forgiving for a smaller base roster.
First page of this thread says low 30s.
IntelliHeath

I have no doubts with that but I'm talking about base roster which I have a doubt.
Let see how many characters they are going to reuses for MVCI first. I'm pretty sure that we are going to see Hulk, Spider-man and Thor coming back for sure.
Which would be a disappointment given that the veterans so far are near carbon copies of their UMvC3 selves (with a new move or two thrown in).
don't forget this is a 2v2 game though. with no assists.
their incentive to pump out a massive roster size is reduced by that alone. not to mention unique design decisions in terms of balancing out chars to make them unique without having the luxury of freedom that an assist system provides makes tuning way, way harder/time consuming
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Yes, but the numbers usually don't get decided until like few months before they are finishing up with the development. It might be for best to set our expectation with 32 or 34 characters, but who know they might manage to push few more characters into the game.
Yup, that's why it's more likely to be low 30s because it's 2 vs 2 mode, and they need to focus on single player contents after their fiasco with SFV single player contents, and they make a huge promise with that as well.
