Classic is the only way to go.

Classic. I don't personally care all that much if Venom makes it. I'd like to see him because MvC1 is my favorite MvC game (XvSF is my favorite Vs. series game though), but I wouldn't miss him all that much if he wasn't in, and I doubt I'd play him. I just want Gambit back in. But I think there would be a fair amount of backlash if Venom didn't make it and it wasn't classic Venom.
I don't remember the clip but "THIS ONE'S FOR YOU MORPH" always gets me.
Any idea of when to expect match footage to see? We're not going to be waiting until E3 with this doing testing early 2017 right?
Why not just use Toxin, instead, then?
That's Brock's current symbiote pal, so if Marvel was at all anal about staying current (again), we'd at least still have Eddie.
Sweet. Ready for my dreams to come true with no possible doubt or way to possibly be let down whatsoever now!

Wait. Was it confirmed we will get over 30 characters?

No, all we know is that the roster will be "huge"

Ryce said he knew about a certain obscure Capcom veteran character returning from MVC3. He said that he'd be surprised to see this character on a smaller scale roster.

They could just give us this and we'd technically have Red Venom back
and He doesn't really look like that anymore

Ideally Marvel would try to balance making sure fans of the comics, movies, and classic games are happy. Classic Venom would probably get the most positive reaction from the most people.
We don't need a mutated/evil/crazy version of Spider-Man with similar powers again when we've never had either of his enemies that are almost as old as the character himself. Either of which would bring pretty varied gameplay by nature of their design.

Thanks for sharing this!
It's a shame that they won't be included in the base game but the DLC option is better than getting nothing at all.
Now I'll hope Psylocke makes the cut, aftrr all, she's the most requested X-woman from all the polls IIRC.
It would be great to see Cyclops and Gambit again too.
I assume Agent Venom is the first choice, since the change happened very recently, and Flash's been Venom for years at this point, and featured in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon.
But Venom is the perfect example of how Capcom could use DLC. They could release Agent Venom first, then have classic Eddie Brock Venom as a distinct character as future DLC, with current Lee Price Venom and Agent Toxin as clones of the two with different voices and maybe one or two different moves. Heck, they could also do Anti-Venom and Toxin (Eddie Brock) as re-skinned clones as well.

I'd just stick one in there and make all the others alternate colors and costumes
Or just give everyone a symbiote DLC costume....

I want this game to have DLC characters until the end of time, honestly. Hopefully that's the implication with the "Infinite" subtitle, beyond the gems and the troubled history the series has with infinite combos.

To quote agent venom
"You won't be laughing when my tentacles get a hold of you"
"You won't be laughing when my tentacles get a hold of you"
For DLC, yes.
Now's the best time to push for your favorite Fox character for DLC. I'm mainly gonna push for Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Magik, & both Maximoff Twins.
PSYLOCKE PLEASSSSSSSSSEEE!
It's been damn too long and she was seen in cinema recently (apocalypse was meh), fucking please
Cyclops too because iconic.

I think it's reasonable to assume that's Spencer too since we know he's there.
Realistically I don't think they actually have a chance. I could see use begrudgingly getting the Fox characters that were in Ultimate because why not, but outside of that?
Most likely Spencer since it was mentioned a while back that someone knew for a fact that he was in there.

So, if Phoenix Wright/Apollo makes the roster again, do you think they'll make him...better?
There were ways to make him work, but it caused too much sacrifice to the rest of the team. Even if a Phoenix Wright did knock Yipes out of Evo one year. ;o

As a guy who's wanted a 'Goblin and Lizard in this series forever, I'd certainly agree with your point.
But it can't be ignored that people love the Symbiotes almost as much as they do the Spider fam. It's why I'm expecting at least one to show up, be it a Venom or just Toxin.
It's even weirder considering Classic Venom has appeared all over the place in other games, when I believe one of the main reasons he was kept out of MvC3 was because they didn't want to undermine Flash's.

I sure hope so, but has a Marvel character ever gotten drastically better without a complete overhaul? Morrigan?

Honestly, that wouldn't be so bad if you sit down and think about it. Like as we said before, almost all of the popular essential characters like Haggar, Arthur, Viewtiful Joe and Phoenix Wright were put into UMVC3 and I'd hate to see them get axed. With X in, all I really want to see from the Capcom side is Gene, Asura, some others.
With the X-Men and FF gang sitting out the base roster, that gives Capcom a lot more leeway to design a whole bunch of new characters for the Marvel side, so there's that.
yes, i'm in agreement with that.
i'm in agreement with anything that gets Asura into the game, though.

I wonder if that means the ban is over.

Marvel and Fox share the Maximoff Twins. Although considering Fox hasn't used Wanda, I think she might have better odds than Pietro.

Buff him up again
Make his normals less shitty
Maybe not drastically, but Hulk got pretty beefy in 3

Considering UMvC3 roster was near perfect, I wouldn't complain.
Just give me Wesker and Nemesis/Chris/Jill.

We need her back!PSYLOCKE PLEASSSSSSSSSEEE!
It's been damn too long and she was seen in cinema recently (apocalypse was meh), fucking please
Cyclops too because iconic.
She's been kind of busy these last years: Remender's, Humphries's and Spurrier's X-Force, Wood's X-Men and now Bunn's Uncanny X-Men.
Her "debut" in Apocalypse this year made her a more know face to the people who don't read comics.
Hopefully they give Psylocke a chance as DLC.
Yeah, I know some grew up with Venom as the big baddie, but I grew up playing this:
_Coverart.png/250px-Spider-Man_(1982)_Coverart.png)
So my idea of the classics are different. It always bummed me out MSH and all the subsequent games never had one of the Sinister Six or some other really old-school ones. Probably because ones like GG or Ock would have been too difficult to design.
I always wanted a home port of the Spider-Man arcade game too, because we finally got some of them well-presented in a game, but that never happened.
The fact that she has had a big screen appearance is what is giving me hope since Marvel wants the game to be more "accessible".
Plus she's been in almost every Capcom fighter that has featured the X-men, she is just as iconic as Storm is.

If UMVC3 got delayed to early 2012 and the dev team was able to implement those additional missing eight characters they originally wanted to put in, I get the feeling one of the Marvel characters would of been the Lizard, because of The Amazing Spider-Man film coming out during that time.

People say its just his joker voice, but to me its a bit more sane. The goofy laugh and everything is just presentation and over the top hammy-ness. But unlike Norman, Roderick is supposed to be perfectly sane.
I'd be cool with Green or Hobgoblin. Maybe they could take that flame sword from that loser Phil Urich and give it to Roderick among all the other insane weapons the goblin uses.
for example....
Off-topic, but Roscoe Lee Browne is also the best voice for Kingpin ever....RIP
One of the characters was actually gonna be Miles Morales.

oh god
remember the tv commercial for that game? "YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF FLUID!!!!!"
i'm with you, Spidey's classic rogues gallery is the best, but i assume it will never happen. (Kraven's Last Hunt is the best spidey story of all time. OF ALL TIME.)
We had Dr Octopus in the files of Marvel 3.

I just want one. One measly character. I get so tired of people are begging for multiple X-Men characters that have been in almost every game, and there hasn't been one "classic" Spidey villain yet for the old folks.
