[RUMOR] Marvel vs Capcom Infinite roster leaked

In terms of gameplay archetype and style it makes sense why they chose him. There's no other big-body tank character (with existing assets :/) like him.

Idk how Jedah's gory attacks made it past the ratings board. It was pretty clear and well animated in 2D.
There isn't gonna be any blood. We can all 100% guarantee that.
There's a reason for that: Nemesis was trash tier in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. He as a concept really just doesn't work. Sentinel, Hulk, and Thor are better examples of how to design big characters in these games that can actually compete with the rest of the cast. Nemesis needs significant changes to be effective.
Ditching Wesker is on its own baffling considering his popularity.
I would think there is not a lot of correlation between. MVC coming too fast from announcement not even 1 year

SFV had a similar development time. They had money help from Sony though. Probably adding the story mode from the get go ate up a good chunk of their budget. Capcom probably had to pay Marvel instead of the other way around for this though judging by how dumb their last contract was.

Well, I remember people were upset about lack of female and diversity characters

Mike Haggar?
Not really since they are banking on his popularity to get people to purchase him via DLC.
I don't recall that off hand but I'll take your word for it. I don't believe I frequented NeoGAF back then and those type of complaints I don't usually see as frequently on other forums.
I do recall a lot of people complaining about the short period of time for the upgrade, I think it was 7 months. My friends were still playing MvC3 regularly when Ultimate hit so honestly that was kind of ridiculous. It was a solid upgrade though and IMO worth the money
Or possibly leaving him out entirely. I don't follow the RE series but hasn't he been out of the picture for a while now?

Pretty boring roster, wonder which dante they will use.
If the want to go full trainwreck it will have to be DmC Dante.
P pretty much...
I said full trainwreck, I didn't say it was likely.
If they put in original Dante, DmC fans will understand and probably admit he's the more popular version.
If they put DmC Dante in fans of the earlier games will throw a massive fit.
But yeah DM 3 version is likely the way to go, due to laziness if nothing else.

It's the obvious bet since they revealed Chris.
They could just re-skin him like Hawkeye.

So far the only characters that have gotten subtle changes to their look are the Marvel characters. And that's just to have them look close to their MCU counterparts. The Capcom characters still look the same.
That looks very much like a demand from Marvel. Don't expect Capcom to do anything but the bare minimum with their own characters. Dante will be copy and pasted into Infinite like Chris was.

The laziness on chris pisses me off even more now since Wesker is no where to be seen. Like damn you could've at least given him his RE6 outfit.

Do we know for sure who that "other" capcom character is? Are we just assuming it's Frank West?
I find it interesting that both Ryce and Saikyo didn't know the 14th capcom character.

20 MCU Marvel women?
Scarlet Witch
Black Widow
Nebula
Hela
Sif
Wasp
Peggy Carter
Valkyrie
I think that's it.
After. Hell there about 5 ones in the movies alone that should have been in here before Gamora.
I don't believe for a second that they were genuinely hard locked to MCU only characters.

Yea I dunno, Gamora is actually a pleasant surprise for me
Hard locked, no. But we absolutely know they were that stubborn and weren't going to budge so we shouldn't really be surprised

Wasp, Jessica Jones, Elektra, Mantis, Quake, Valkyrie, Ancient One... heck, I'd take Maria Hill or Peggy Carter at this rate.

Well this roster doesn't have any characters from Netflix and AoS. I thought they would have included an Inhuman but I was wrong.
But what interesting moves is Gamora going to have?
She can punch, kick and she has a gun.
Great. So does Chris.

That basically goes for every fighting game character ever. lol

She also has a sword, which is usually her main weapon.
Jessica Jones
Elektra
I bet they wanted to put Wasp but then realized they could release DLC alongside the new movie.
Black Widow, though... not sure what the excuse is for her absence.

I don't think television characters will be in this game.
Edit: Venom is DLC and not apart of the MCU so shit, idk.

Edit: They'll be DLC.

Why are you using Sony Marvel Cinematic Spider-Verse characters
I really think this roster is a result of a small budget and Capcom cynically trying to maximize safe sales.

Which makes the capcom side even more funny. If they were going full in on that, their side doesn't show it.

I think she's tied to Sony. She could be DLC.

It has every major franchise they have left that carries any weight. Monster Hunter(1x), Resident Evil (2x), Street Fighter (2x). If anything they should have brought in more Monster Hunter characters but looks like the Capcom side is the only area they had to experiment with character wise. Marvel side has some interesting gameplay though Ant-Man could be really sick. I full expect Nova to be kid Nova. Doesn't Marvel hate the regular Nova or something?
A small roster is anything but safe sales since this game will flop because of it.

If they were trying to go in for their big franchises. They would've doubled up bigger names. So stuff like DR and DMC would be having 2 characters instead of one.
2 DS and 2GG aren't pushing that "we gotta go for what makes the most money". Along with the odd solos like Spencer.
The roster as a whole is odd. Because you can say the Marvel side is definitely aiming at the general audience. But the capcom side fails in both hardcore appeal and general appeal. General appeal would've had more reps from the bigger franchises I listed and the more popular picks (Wesker over Nemesis). While appealing to more hardcore would've had more diversity than what is present.
This is why I stand that it's like they went all in on the Marvel side due to mandate. Then just kinda floundered around with their picks since Marvel is the priority.
Some have been mentioned but also:
Yo Yo Rodriguez
Mockingbird
Dagger
Hellcat
Also what the hell Jemma Simmons is a cyborg in the comics? Wow.
