I suggested him for characters on the Capcom side with no chance. Remember Me has a better chance of getting a rep than Dark Void

Fixed.
I never posted that. Don't taint my post, you filthy swine.

Do you think that Capcom will add any of Hiryu's new abilities from Strider 2014? Would Strider 2014 be the default look like reboot Bionic Commando was the default Spencer?
EDIT: Probably not, if they're reusing models they'll probably just transfer his model from 3 to infinite

I mean, they used SFV Ryu, so I wouldn't put it past Capcom to do 2014 Strider Hiryu.
But that was a 3v3 game, this one is 2v2. Although I could easily see 2 protags and a villain.
Nah, too similar to the original.

The same people who we believe the rumors of fox chara as dlc said low 30s for base roster hence so many doing speculation 16-18 characters per side so at best we'll see as many as base mvc3 (which had 18 per side plus 2 dlc chars at launch)
Actually, each side only had 1 DLC character, & they didn't come out until about a month after launch.
Also, I don't think Ryce gave a finite number for the base roster.

Yeah my brain combined my per side vs total roster into a confusing wording (there were 2 dlc characters at launch total, 1 per side)
He said low 30's though and I wouldn't interpret 36/38 as low 30s. Besides this is 2016/2017 capcom/fighting game, why give fans a 2v2 fighter with the roster the size of even base mvc3 when you can give us a slightly smaller one at launch and have fans pay for dlc character packs for years ala sf5, ki3, and mkx.
In the case of Street Fighter games, the base roster is usually pretty small to start with. SFIV ended up with 22 or so characters for its console release because it wasn't the first version of SFIV. The arcade version of SFIV launched with 16 characters, then added 3 more later (Akuma/Gouki, Gouken, & Seth), which was later followed up by the console version adding more characters on top of that. SFV didn't have an arcade version come out before the console version (& unlike MvCI, it redid everyone's animations from scratch), so its base roster was comparable to SFIV's initial arcade release.
That said, do you have a link where Ryce specifically said the game's base roster would be in the low 30's? I feel like he said that it'd be more than we'd expect, especially with all of the reused animations going into the game.

BassForever is most likely referring to robot over here, who said he also heard that the Fox characters would be DLC.
Loki makes sense from a business perspective but I think they would have to be very creative to get a good moveset out of him.
Granted I'm not against his inclusion, I just want them to get it right if they are going to put him in
Got it, thanks for clearing that up.
Also, is the Marvel side gonna be exclusively MCU (Film & TV) for the base roster or will it have some rising stars from the comics as well?
I'd say Daredevil, Elektra, Kingpin and Bullseye all have a reasonable chance of getting in, although the further you go on that list the lower the chances are. Those are really the only ones I could see unless they really want to do a WTF pick and put the Owl or the Gladiator or something in.

Sorry if this has already been discussed but what are the chances of this coming to the Switch? It looks like switch could run it but still probably not going to happen.
Given the specs listed by Eurogamer, slim. Not impossible, but very unlikely given recent developments.
As with any Nintendo console, the best policy is always assume there's no chance in hell until you see an official, unpredictable announcement.
Don't let rumours of UE4 compatibility and development ease fool you, it's par for the course before reality hits. We are talking about a historically underpowered, doesn't want to keep up with industry standards, could-give-fuck-less-about-third-parties-and-do-the-bare-minimum-in-supporting console manufacturer.

I don't think Ryce gave out the numbers. It was someone else.

Yeah it was the second person who confirmed he heard the same thing about Fox as dlc. I guess you can argue it hasn't been double source leaked like the fox dlc, but I think low 30s is reasonable guess for a base roster. The real question is for the marvel side will the base roster be mcu exclusive or will it feature characters with no current or future mcu plans. With capcom's side the question is how many of the one off character franchises will be represented vs multiple characters from the bigger series.
I also think expecting similar or more at launch to mvc3 with a 2v2 game is setting yourself up to be disappointed.
MvC3 had 36 characters on Day 1, so it's not that far-off of a guess. Plus, with the reused animations for the veterans, you'd kinda expect there to be more characters overall as compensation.
BassForever

Look I love the optimism, but even with reused animations they still clearly have to spend quiet a bit of time reworking each veteran into the 2v2 style. Also they're gonna want newcomers which will take up more time during the development. I would have liked to believe that back when the game was ???? Vs capcom they had most of the capcom side done before it became a marvel game, but as we saw in the reveal trailer mega man x is still really rough so that's not what is happening. We could also see a potential mk9/x/sf5 scenario with characters being playable in story but not balanced playable for multiplayer.
This was always a Marvel game.
For sure. With Jay Ong at the helm of the Marvel video games division, with a goal of putting out higher quality Marvel titles starting with Insomniac's Spider-Man, I'm sure they were the ones to reach out to Capcom.

Also I would like to remind everyone if you want to check up on rumors or leaks, then you should check second post on first page because I would keep the information up to date much as I could.

Cool hadn't seen the groot info but would guess that means rocket with baby groot will likely happen.

Still can't believe this game exists tbh.
We know exactly what you know.
Yeah, it wasn't too long ago when this game was considered a pipe dream.
As was 3. Dont get me wrong, I didnt think they would make a new one either, im just saying back then we said the same thing about 3
Admittedly the whole line of Capcom fighters in the 90's was basically "how can we shit out a new game every 8 months?" Add 4 new characters, mix up the rest, add a few backgrounds - bam, you got yourself a fighting game!
Kind of surprised they didn't go just go back-to-basics of a Marvel Fighter with 3, and then iterate on that along with SF4, then do a mixup by the end. Guess Tekken vs SF got in their in a weird way.

All I want is Breath of Fire Ryu and Nina.
Please...

There was reasonable support for both in the old DLC polls, its definitely in the realm of possibility at least one makes the cut, if not base roster than maybe 2 or 3 DLC packs down the road....
Breath of Fire is one of the few notable Capcom franchises to not have a rep (and indeed, it never has), and it does have that mobile game on the way.
I don't think Ryu really has a chance due to the unavoidable naming problem, but Nina could be unique both with flight and magic spells.

That's one Capcom game I never played. Was it good?
I will never give up hope.
Kinda thought I might be done with gaming once FFXV ctually released. But they have pulled me back in.
I dunno if we'll ever get that kind of escalation in fighting games(or games period) again, It was quite the ride goin' from only the X-Men to MvC.

Doctor Octopus had complete art and a theme. Pretty cool to think about.
I really hope this character is revisited for Infinite.

I can see it. This way they can hawk Venom as DLC.
Green Goblin seems like he'd be more interesting, though.

Damn, that sucks to hear. No Spider-Man villain of any kind was a pretty big omission from UMVC3's Marvel cast. It was really weird that Spidey was all alone in that game.
I'm guessing that they got his Spectacular voice if he was that far along. Either way, I hope they revisit the idea at some point.
Oh wow, so close to happening. They gotta bring him back.
Doc Ock had a bunch of files on disc, so it's clear they had a lot of work done on him. Shame he didn't make it. MvC3 sorely lacked a bigger Spider-Man presence, which was a common criticism of the roster. But he seems like a likely candidate for inclusion now since he almost made it last time.
BoF6 is already out and it failed miserably.
I really doubt the name would be much of an issue.

Yeah, Doc Ock almost made it. Would love to see him make the cut this time around.

I was disappointed that Spidey didn't get a villain in MVC3. It seemed like a strange omission

Hope is a powerful tool, and I still hope to see one of those character become playable character but I don't set my expectation high on that tho.
Hopefully they would revisit those concept and try to make him working on MVC:I.

There's pretty creative ways to get around that, I think. Like if they used BoF3 Ryu, they could call him Brood Ryu to diffrentiate him from SF Ryu.
I mean, this was the same company that put two separate versions of Wolverine in MvC2, and made no attempt to diffrentiate them by name. The name excuse doesn't really fly.
