If legit...largely interested in seeing if/how they'll integrate MonHun into something like this. It's been time to finally see a Rathalos or Zinogre tear into a Sentinel, Devil Dinosaur or another "big target" that the Marvel side could produce. And it'll only make that much more sense if they're going to try pushing the series more with a new (groan) Hollywood movie by Paul W.S. Anderson.

Didn't the MH team stop Niitsuma from representing Monster Hunter in the MvC3 games?

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, as well. The cited reason being is that they didn't want a game like MvC to make for an "established" look for a Hunter, when the Hunter is supposed to be a player avatar.

Of course, it remains to be seen if that rule still applies, since Monster Hunter Stories finally has a "default look" protagonist in Ryuto and his Rathalos. Or they could just cut out the middleman and just use a monster like Rathalos, instead. And again, if Capcom wants the series to get bigger in the West, the team's original wishes may have to get compromised, anyway.

So the Akuma reveal that Ono said wasn't indicative of him being playable in SFV was actually for MvC4?

Very much doubt it's real, and personally I'd rather see a different crossover.
 
I can see it if it was partly developed by Sony or funded by them ala SFV. Given the deal Sony made with Marvel, I could see this being feasible.
 
Man would a PS4/PC release completely fuck over the Xbox crowd, then again, you could argue that without Sony the game isnt going to happen.
 
I wanna see Howard the Duck and Dr. Wily. After that they can do whatever the fuck since most other characters I can think of have already been in a MvsC game.

Also morbidly curious if the X-Men would be fucked over or if Marvel/Disney have loosened up their 'no characters from movies Fox own's the rights to' rule. Guess that extends to Dr. Doom and Deadpool, though I was under the impression for some reason Deadpool had been exempt from that rule this entire time? I definitely see a ton of merch of him all over the place.

As I've said like a goddamn broken record at this point, there's a rumor that Marvel Entertainment's loosening up on the "no Fox characters in post-CoC games" thing sometime next year as part of their improving relationship with Fox. If it's true remains to be seen, but the increasing amount of X-merch is a good sign (though based on my research, Funko is the main one benefitting from this right now).

U niggas ain't gettin me foh.

I believed for years, I still wanna but can't.

If true tho....

GOODBYE SF5 and WELCOME BACK MAHVEL!!
 
Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on this one. Sure would be nice, though.

But if it was true, give BoF some love for fucks sake. The excuse for no BoF representation in MvC3 is and will continue to be bullshit.

With the movie falling through I doubt we would see any Inhumans outside of Ms. Marvel.

If Devil Dinosaur somehow gets in (which would be excellent, if a Rathalos got in as his rival)? I could see Moon Girl getting in at least as a "support" character for him. Maybe he could be a "style switch" character depending on whether or not Lunella was in control, or not?

In my defense, it's not like 'what has Neoxon said about the relationship between Disney/Marvel and Fox' is at the forefront of my mind 24/7.

After SFV I don't think Sony would want anything to do with the development of a new fighter from Capcom, let alone fund it.

plot twist... what if Microsoft or Nintendo are the ones to fund it?

edit: oh wait i forgot capcom cup was at psx

As in "Heathcliff"
I'd like to officially blame Wiz for being his source

Or YAMS is the source

I think it might be latter. I could see Baked Yam is more likely to be our main source. I meat he could potentially setting up someone to take the fall so he wouldn't get banned. So he could get away from it by making a thread and putting someone else in a huge target. What a clever cheap(beep).
