The followup by Mike Evans right after that is even more nonsensical. He says that Marvel fans today probably don't know who the X-Men are. Huh?????

lol holy shit this post cant be real
Sadly, there are some kids who don't know. But the comment just comes off as Capcom trying hard not to throw Marvel under the bus.
Why bother with the license at all if the characters don't matter? Might as well make an internal vs game.

I mean absolutely, I get that their hands are tied and there's not a lot they can say aside from no-commenting it. But...

To be fair, two of those movies are R-rated.I mean absolutely, I get that their hands are tied and there's not a lot they can say aside from no-commenting it. But...

That's the problem with PR, in order for you to do your job, it requires you to say some hilariously wrong and stupid shit if someone asks you a question in the right way in the heat of the moment. You just don't have time to think of a smart response. People know who the fuck the X-Men are, like they didn't have comics and movies a couple of years ago. Like the fucking hugely popular deadpool movie didn't have X-Men in it. OK.
Because kids never watch R-rated movies.
I definitely didn't start watching South Park when I was 8...
If they're looking at their characters as functions instead of iconic creations that have been heavily supported for for decades then I don't know what else to say. What does Arthur add? Spencer? Nemesis? Ghost Rider? etc. Roster is abysmal and the only reason I'm considering picking this up is for Captain Marvel, someone who should've been in the last game when it was first announced.
Fair, but you're not gonna have dozens of kids in the theater like with the other comic book movies.
Yeah, I think they'll be lower for this reason.
Their pre-order costume bonuses for their past fighters haven't really been over a $4 or $5 value if bought later, and they're giving away two costumes with pre-orders. I can't see that changing, so maybe like $4 or $5 for a set of two costumes.
When I went to watch Logan, there was literally a family with two young boys sitting in front of me. I was bewildered at the parents thinking this was a movie that they could watch.

This game as a service already has a season pass and a ton of DLC ready to go. It's like everything I hear just gets me more excited for dragonball.
I'm DBZF won't have DLC or a season pass, don't worry.

Even if it did, at least that game doesn't look like some low budget doodoo. And it keeps the traditional 3v3 crazy that I wanted in MvC4.
2v2 is more traditional in the VS series....

I'm fine with DLC when I'm not paying for reused assets.

Recently? Mvc2 and 3 were the faces of the series for a decade. I know 2v2 is cool in the other games but I wanted 3v3 back.
Well... You are 100% right.
But it would do the game so much good right now if they announced an X-men character, or at least confirmed that they are coming in the future. That leaked roster has really fucked them.
Marvel probably has approval rights over that as well.

Killer Instinct's been available on W10 for quite some time now, and it's soon going to be on Steam as well.
You don't get everything you want in life I'm afraid. Want 3v3? Well there is MvC3 and the new DBF. Regardless, I have a feeling a lot of people are simply all talk and no action and will probably stick with MvCi when all is said and done.

It would be funny if the leak was wrong and all of the internet was pissed about nothing. Roster wise at least.
Still gotta fix Chun's frakkin' face.

Marvel isn't going to sort out those rights because Fox isn't letting go of X-Men. Well, maybe Marvel can get Fantastic 4 back but it isn't going to be any time soon with rumours of a reboot floating around.
...like plummeting from being an industry leading company easily capable of producing their own games, to being reduced to begging Sony for enough coin to scrape together SFV and bending over backward and self-applying spit as lube for the MCU?

Lol
Sony gave Capcom money for SFV. Ono stated that SFV was a few years down the road. That doesn't sound like begging to me.
And what do you expect Capcom to do? Shit talk Marvel for not letting them use Xmen characters in the roster. Current Marvel has an agenda and on that agenda is put the MCU first.
Oh look, a ban that isn't really a ban.

I'm actually thinking the same.
Or maybe getting the game super cheap (20 bucks or less) next year.
Street Fighter 5 STILL looks like it is a few years down the road.
And yes - considering the fact that the actual game is theirs, as is half the cast, I'd expect Capcom to at least be packing an A-cup jock strap at the negotiations table, and demanding the characters that they know will actually serve to enhance the game in which they inhabit the curious position of being both a force to promote said game, as well as being themselves promoted by it. B-Bs falling out of small shorts, assuaging self-inflicted movie rights butthurt is NOT a good look.
After playing the story demo and seeing the leaked roster I'm going to do the same.
Exactly right. They're doing everything they can to avoid saying it because obviously they don't want to upset anyone. There's a lot lining up against this game and this sure is not helping at all.

I agree with you completely, and I'm not sure why they can't do this, at least.
One of my issues is with DLC. The game isn't even out yet and we are already talking about DLC. Shows that your product is lacking. The whole Black Panther is DLC upsets me. It's like if anybody should have been in the base roster it's him. It's just a problem that already the 2 announced characters for DLC are already in the story. This is SFV all over again just in a different way. They are more focused on DLC and support than delivering a good initial product. They can't assume everybody is going to stick around.

Same. The GaaS model can work, and games like KI have shown that, but Capcom can't seem to get it right. I don't care about DLC for years to come when the base roster is so weak.
I could sort of get that if they're talking about eight year olds, but I imagine nigh everyone buying a Capcom fighting game in 2017 is 30+.
Marvel: Contest of Champions at 50+ million downloads is more how they're reaching the general audience.
You think the same about injustice 2 and Tekken?

No X-Men or F4 were in any new games for two and a half years. Seemed like a pretty solid ban to me.
Even then, it isn't completely lifted. Marvel Heroes Omega has all references to the F4 removed except for Doom (since he's the final boss and can't be removed without massive plot changes). It looks like Marvel's either given up or come to an agreement with Fox over the X-Men, but they're still adamant on getting the F4 back (and seeing how Fox is with the licence, I'd do the same in Marvel's place).

I was very happy with the MCU focus but sadly the game looks bad.
Also i have no clue who the F4 are.

A company wishing to control its IP is not a ban. In fact, that's the opposite of a ban since if Marvel wasn't in control, they wouldn't be able to touch the game in the first place.
Don't really care for Injustice and Tekken 7 is dope. Tekken has already a deep roster with damn near all fan favorites. Also both of those game have better presentation than this game.

SFV to this day doesn't have a "complete" edition a year later and MvC:I is probably gonna go down that same supporting path.
