Chun Li was in SFV and look how that turned out...

Chun-Li is boring as hell in Marvel.
Though if they gave the entire cast TvC style air-dashes at minimum, that'd be a start. TvC Ryu was the most fun that character has ever been in any game.

Replace Ryu with Rufus.
The idea isn't to merely sell to a bunch of copies. If they don't fuck it up like they did Street Fighter V, they will do this either way.
The idea is to keep people playing and join the FGC. Capcom is, for better or worse, entirely basing their fighting game stuff around esports. Getting more people into it is the long term goal.
If the game is complex enough to intimidate a lot people out, and I'd argue Marvel 3 was, they have less upside here.
I'm not too concerned about the hype level of current fans. At this point, you know so little about how it functions or plays that you can only offer vague concerns over it's direction - not actual informed criticism.
Even now, I'm prepared to bet you'll wind up giving the game a shot.

Hoping this means they will add some fucking assists. It's like the one feature that made mvc, mvc.

Taken from Urban Dictionary:
"Tricking someone into doing something for you for your own personal gain.
Example: Sony really honeydicked us into watching The Interview."
it really isn't if you actually spend the time to play it but i hear the complaint from folks who have issues w it often enough for it to probably be a real issue to some degree. i think its pretty easy to tell the general idea of whats going on without the knowledge of the whys or details
assists change so much at every design level that i cant see it happening. itd be the equivalent expecting everyone to suddenly getting an airdash or something during sf5's beta

Yep. That bit of extra mobilty made him a beast.
TvC Chun was pretty fun, too. Probably the only time since XvSF that I actually enjoyed using her in a Vs. game.

I still say there won't be assists like in MvC1. Where you could have nonplayable characters such as jubilee. Assists i'm still betting on being nothing more than calling your one teammate out.

The best part about all this is that they clearly haven't decided on anything besides 2v2, no assists, and gems
This game is coming in hot when it releases just like SFV, isn't it

What do you mean by this? Do you mean they're going to rush it out the door?

Based on what? Them not specifying every single mechanic the game has in its reveal? Because that was never gonna happen.
I was actually going to quote him lol
but nah, i just remember seeing that a lot back in the day. it used to bother me quite a bit

Chun Li and Akuma have been in basically every marvel chars vs capcom chars game so I doubt they'll miss this one especially since they can port their animations from umvc3 hd.

Akuma actually wasn't in MVC1.
With Wolverine seemingly out of the picture (for now anyway), Ryu and Chun-Li are the only characters to have perfect attendance in the Versus series.
The characters revealed so far and that rumor about the "huge" roster imply that Capcom's not going to throw away characters that already have finished assets if they can help it. Chun-Li's probably in because she's been a Vs. series staple for a long time, and MvC:I being willing to reuse assets means she's something of a sunk cost and that her inclusion will not have come at the cost of another character.
Edit: Wolverine would also have a perfect attendance record were it not for the Fox/X-Men ban.

What about Spider Man?
EDIT: Unless you meant ALL the versus games, not just Marvel.
X-Men vs. Street Fighter. Spidey is no X-Man.

Ahh yes, forgot about that.

Have a good look here, folks.
Ryu and Chun-Li are the only characters to have a green check on every single game in the series. Wolverine would of too, but alas, the Fox ban.

Are there any gameplay analysis videos yet?
Morrigan deserves a special mention for being in all of the Vs. Capcom games (since she's obviously not going to be in the Vs. Street Fighter entries). She's in Marvel vs. Capcom, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Capcom vs. SNK, Capcom vs. SNK 2, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Only Ryu, Chun-Li, and Morrigan appear in all of those titles.

Y'all are missing the point. Nobody's doubting Chun is in, it's just nobody wants Chun to return.

Not a Capcom-developed game but she's also in SNK vs. Capcom Match of the Millennium for NGPC.
Morrigan needs a captain falcon outfit, for now being in more VS games than actual games in her series and now probably more known for that.
Hoping for impossibilities is a waste

That's true, though I still count the Vs. Street Fighter games considering they still basically are the first Versus games that paved the way for all of this.
Even MVC2's opening includes them in its little recap of the series, and it considers itself "The 4th VS. installment".
But then again the announcer in MVC3 says on the CSS "Marvel vs. Capcom 3! That's right, the third chapter!" so I dunno.

Good thing we're getting Smash 4 Switch very soon.
I could be wrong but the way Mike and Bill from Marvel Games have been talking it doesn't sound like its a consideration for this game. And as Neoxon has said, X-Men characters are being added to CoC again.
I would guess that since these games exist outside any canon (and are just games) they don't care as much right now. (They did before of course.)

also in looking at this shot i've only just now noticed that it's asgard and some city merging together. maybe the megaman x city?
Wow, this is awesome. I hope this isn't the only mixed stage, really cool idea.

This post reminds,
There's no artwork for this game yet. That seems strange for Capcom
it's melee all over again.
only after brawl came out and sakurai gave the game shit for being "too difficult" did melee SUDDENLY become this hard game that NEEDED to be toned down. christ.
People look at videos of top level play from Evo Marvel 3 top 8 and go "OMG this game is crazy, I can't even tell what's going on! How do people play this shit!" and somehow that becomes the new normal for the game. Now Marvel 3 has the perception of being insane, fast, hard to learn and impossible to follow for the average player because not everyone can move with Magneto like F Champ can.

Why are we talking about Smash again, I thought we agreed not to talk about party games here

Marvel and DC going head to head on video games front looks like it with injustice and mvc4. You think mvc4 can hang with injustice when it comes to financial success? I still think injustice will outsell mvc4 by a mile. With capcoms name attached to the project might turn away a lot of casual players.
I think Disney is cautious about this games success thats why it looks so low budget compared to Injustice. The graphics alone have tremendous difference.
