Does either Ryu have a last name they could use to differentiate them with?

For SF Ryu? Nah, he was never given an official last name. Only time they did that was the live action movie which gave him the last name of Hoshi.

That is awesome. Hoping to see more Spider-Man representation in this game!
Well, BOF2's Ryu had an actual surname, Bateson.
Of course, with BOF2 being my fave game, I would most want to see representation from that game. Personal favorite Ryu, my pick for Best Nina, and even had characters like Rand and Katt that are ripe for potential, even if you somehow couldn't use a Ryu or Nina.

Should be Ryuji. At least it makes sense. 
Forever renamed that for me
Forever renamed that for meSpider-man villain reps have me so conflicted, because I want more than one, but I doubt we're getting more than one.
It's between Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Venom, and Mysterio for me.
Doc Ock - his four extra arms would add so much potential.
Green Goblin - he's kind of the big bad for Spidey, plus he's got a fun personality and his glider could present some neat gameplay opportunities.
Venom - He'd be a great returning character from the previous versus games, and the fluid physics of his model could lend to some neat visuals. Plus he's edgy and popular.
Mysterio - Has almost zero chance of getting in sadly, however, as previously stated--his abilities would be quite the spectacle and his model with that mirror dome on his head would look great.
They'd likely to go with Nina (who I personally prefer) assuming the name is a factor, but I'd be super happy either of them. In the end, I don't think the name matters all too much. If he's popular enough, he'll probably get in.
These are some of the best choices for gameplay, but I'd also throw Kraven into the mix. You can do a lot with different hunting equipment that he can use. Traps, spears, guns, bombs, the lot. I remember people throwing around a lot of great Green Goblin gameplay ideas around MvC3 time, being able to detach and call back the glider to assist.
I doubt we'll get more than Spider-Man, but I would be happy with Venom with an updated moveset. Always loved his animations as they felt like the monstrosity he should be.
I would only add two more to this fine list!
Lizard - My personal fave Spider-Rouge, and one that I could see them doing a quite a bit with. Plus, if Talbain did get added to the roster on the Capcom/Darkstalker side, well, that's another rivalry waiting to happen.
Speed Demon - If I can't get Quicksilver, "because reasons" (or just because "Wanda is enough"), Speed Demon would be a nice alternate. Plus, after NRS got to have their chance to make a moveset for a DC-based speedster, I think it's only fair that Capcom gets a chance to do so for a Marvel one. Either Pietro or James would be great!
Yeah, Kraven has a lot of potential as a trap based character. However, I personally think he has a pretty lame outfit haha. I'd be down with his inclusion. His daughter looks much better, but I'm not a fan of legacy characters replacing the original unless their recognition has surpassed them by a wide margin (and that's def. not Ana).
Another character I forgot that has a lot of potential is Sandman. He's pretty cool.
If Ryce's sources are on the money, Pietro & Wanda will likely be fair game for DLC.

It is, but I would totally be down for Howard to be a new Tron Bonne esque mech character if Tron doesn't come back.
Alternatively, I'd take him as just a wacky diminutive fighter like Rocket but with more hijinx.
Basically give me Howard the Duck and nobody gets hurt.
EDIT: Voiced by Seth Green if they know what's good for them.

I preferably would like a non mech Howard. But at the end of the day, I just want Howard.

I would unleash Cthulhu to make sure Howard never happens. I'm serious.

So the devs have moved on from stealing super moves from Street fighter and now are stealing whole characters? (tron)

Yup, pretty much. Which makes it so surprising that Marvel's most marketable character doesn't really have a lot of characters in their fighting games.

Man, I wish Capcom would release the art and theme they had made for Doc Ock. Probably had art for Frank West also. Maybe if Doctor Octopus gets into MvCI, they'll show it. I assume it would have been his more classic design in the green jumpsuit with four arms, rather than the look he had at the time where it looks like he was sort of mummified, and had eight tentacles. While that look certainly wasn't as iconic, I feel that incarnation of him would have been better as a fighter since it had more arms and had drone bots. Probably would have been nuts to animate and work out though, especially if only four of his arms kept him out of the original roster.
Also as a side note, any of the superior foes would be welcome, though not expected.

Yeah, I don't think this last part is a concern... he did end up making it in Ultimate after all

Yeah, I wanna see that too. Especially the music
I wonder why Niitsuma didn't say his name?
...Maybe they're not even giving out his name because he's in MVCI?
Well, I mean he could still have his classic green and yellow look and have octobots, right? Nothing says that Capcom has to pick a specific era and stick to it for his moveset.
I wonder if Molina Ock would be a possible Alt choice. Maybe just him with a coat?
We'd probably get this as his alternate costume
Or maybe this

Lets get Carnage Doc Ock

I would love any of these except Venom. Ock, Goblin, or Mysterio are my top wants and could all bring some really interesting stuff. I think the chance of Ock or Goblin are good, and probably a bit higher than Venom, though I wouldn't be surprised to see him, but just really disappointed.
I would guess their probability would be:
Ock>Goblin=Venom>>>Mysterio.

Since Spidey referenced Black Cat when fighting Felicia would he reference John Jameson/Man-Wolf when fighting Jon Talbain?
So regarding Breath of Fire reps, I'm still not thinking Ryu gets in (unless they go for Ryu Bateson, or the more awkward sounding Brood Ryu), but what about Nina or Garr?
Nina could be a replacement for Storm with her wind spells, and Garr could be the requisite Big Slow Dude.
Nina could be a replacement for Storm with her wind spells, and Garr could be the requisite Big Slow Dude.
Nina placed relatively high on the fan voting lists too if you recall.
She comes up just as often as Ryu in discussion from what I've seen.
Nobody talks about Garr.
One day I hope Capcom makes a crossover only instead of Ryu it's Ken who gets in and BoF!Ryu shows up instead.
...Maybe that too... >.>
I would like Garr too, even though I prefer Rand from BOF2. But the sad thing is neither of the "big guys" would (or even should) be priority over a Ryu or a Nina.
Ryu, Nina and Fou-lu are the BoF rep candidates. Maybe Myria too, since she was the main antagonist for the majority of the series, had a card in MvC3 H&H, and Capcom doesn't have that many big villains of note. But besides that, everyone else is a pipe dream's pipe dream.
Oh, and Happy Holidays, Mahvel-GAF.

dat gif tho... man wtf were they thinking with Phoenix
It was a pretty novel concept. Execution though...
The big problem with Talbain getting in, is that Hulk will most definitely be in, and unless they change his move set, gamma charge and beast cannon are both near identical moves.
Though then again Akuma and Ryu have been in ththe same game for years with variations on th same move so it's probably fine

They're not really the same at all. And they could change them so that talbain could combo after them....and it's one move out of large movesets with characters that are nothing alike and if they were choosing based on play type would have zero overlap. Talbain would be speed, hulk would be heavy.
Parallels for one move aside, Hulk and Talbain really don't have much else in common. We might as well be talking about how the likes of Steve Rogers has his own SRK equivalent and the like.
Having said that...I do wonder if it may be time for Talbain to get some upgrades to fit the Marvel style better, though. His nunchaku move wouldn't mean much, verbatim from his original games.
Edit: And beaten by, of course, my part time "twin" Skilletor!

Look, Quicksilver is my favorite Marvel character, maybe my favorite fictional character ever, but he has as much a chance of getting in as Pod and the Zebra kids. He is physically and thematically similar to Vergil, a much more popular character( although he now wears a godawful purple costume). His videogame status is spotty and up to Disney's whims. He's only comic presence is one mediocre team book and
he's dead in the MCU
I would LOVE to have him in the game but very few characters have that much going against them. But hey, if the Browns can get a Christmas miracle and win a game maybe we can too.
Happy Holidays, everybody!

I will catch up with the thread soon since I saw Breath of Fire being mentioned but I want to say something right now.
In spirit of Christmas Day, we should play around with the notion that Santa Claus with Infinity Glove should become playable character.

Her absorption would be pretty unique and cool.
How would that work differently than Nova's absorption powers, especially in a fighting game?
