Honestly disappointed to see so much MCU inspiration here. Feels so far removed from the original Children of the Atomic game, but at least I have my Megaman X.

I didn't plan on sharing this just yet, but with the incessant Fox ban discussion I thought I should speak up.

Yesterday, I was told with complete certainty that X-Men and Fantastic Four characters will be coming… as DLC. It's a done deal.

Thank you. I was growing tired of the "Fox banning Marvel's own characters" narrative. It would make no sense when they were clearly in MVC3.

Did they happen to give a number or hint at which specific characters?

no - but i did hear initial character count is low 30's. if i had to guess, season pass would be 6-10 characters split across marvel & capcom. really hoping cyclops makes his long overdue return.

what if Hawkeye is in the game, same mvoeset, but its this Hawkeye

Marvel-%D1%84%D1%8D%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%8B-Kate-Bishop-716254.jpg

I would love if they release 2 alternate costumes for each character or something. One could be Kate, the second I would love for it to be Aja's Hawkeye, I love that book.

I hope they don't shoe-horn Vulture in to this game as the Spider-Man villain. He's only a focus in the movie now because they burned through all the important ones already.
He would be fine in the Insomniac PS4 game, but they really need a heavy hitter like Green Goblin or Dock Ock. I don't care which. We just need one, and both are heavily requested.

I wouldn't mind them or heck even scorpion or hobgoblin.

The technical issues that got Doctor Octopus cut from MvC3 might not exist on the new consoles. I'm sure most of his attack animations are already complete.

Pretty sure the success of MCU has Disney wanting to continue in the video game space. Plus the MCU is awesome.
 
Venom being left out of the base roster would be dumb. He's the heavily-demanded Marvel character left out of UMvC3 that they can actually use in the base game. I hope his moveset gets some spicing up to make Web Throw and Venom Rush more useful, assuming he makes it in.

Perhaps? No one really knows much of why he was scrapped. But I'm hoping they made enough progress that revisiting him would be attractive.

Meh. Venom is boring when we already have Spider-Man, and he had his chance.
 
My 32 roster prediction:

Marvel
Captain America
Iron Man
Captain Marvel
Spider-Man
Black Widow
Thor
Groot
Doctor Strange
Black Panther
Scarlet Witch
Vision
Ant-Man
Wasp
Hulk
Ultron
Thanos

Capcom
Ryu
Mega Man X
Morrigan
Samanosuke
Felyne
Ada Wong
Chuck Greene
Godot
Roll.exe
Astaroth
Cyber Akuma
Captain Commando
Ruby Heart
Nero
Skullomania
Rouge

On the Marvel side I purposefully excluded the Netflix shows and TV shows.

Chuck Greene and Skullomania, my man. :)

He was excluded from MVC3 because Eddie Brock wasn't technically Venom anymore at that point. He still isn't today.

However, the fact that they let him into recent games like Contest of Champions and Disney Infinity gives me some hope.

Yesterday we got some toy photos (which could be fake, but havent read about them anymore) for MvC which Venom was a part of, so he should be in. Strider, Captain Commando, War Machine and Spiderman were there too.

Those were MvC1 toys from 1999.

Man, at this rate, we'll get the whole roster soon and meltdowns sooner rather than later!

Happy for the ~30 cast though, even happier they plan on doing DLC with more characters unlike how MvC3 went w/ 2 DLC (preorder chars) then a whole another game for the rest of the chars

Those toys were made back in the 90s. I remember almost buying them.

They were real figure sets from way back. I had a few. It doesn't mean much in terms of needing to put them in the game, even if the Morrigan/Cap reveal was a cool nod. Those two made sense for this reveal anyway.

Ryce, I don't know you that well so I have to ask why should we trust you on the X-Men/F4 character stuff?

Not tryin to be a dick, just trying to know if I should get hype or not. If Doom comes back I will die...

We found out about the game first from him

But I heard he stole my car so I'm going after him
