Yeah Gene would be to fistfighters in this game what Dante was for sword users in the last one. Just so many moves.
I agree completely about them not conflicting, but I hope they see it that way too.
They also have different attitudes. Gene is corny and sarcastic, Asura is just MAD.

I have zero expectations of Gene getting in this game. He was still semi-relevant at the time of MvC3 but is now just the main character in probably Clover's most ill-received and least successful title, that has never been heard from since a greatest hits re-release on PS2. If they did another poll I doubt he'd be top 10. Which, they should do another poll, although I have a feeling the road map and roster for this title are already completely finished, including DLC.

God hand was one of the first PS2 Classics on PS3, and likely one of the more popular ones.

Dunno why capcom doesn't push for ps2 on PS4 classics with god hand
Agreed, they can really go nuts with Gene's combat and he has a nice joker personality so it would all flow well.
In many ways Asura is the complete opposite of him, and would be a total power house in his own way if he makes it in. Easily one of the most badass characters from last gen.
God Hand is a game from 2006.
I don't see how he was more relevant at the time of MVC3 than he is now.
Ah, didn't see that in the info I looked up. Small breath of life, but I still think Capcom would rather its fans forget its existence. While I think he'd be a great addition, I really can't see them going for it with an already reduced roster size and a Hollywood Marvel cast.
Because every year comes with new gamers that haven't the slightest clue who he is. While more well-remembered I think Asura will have a similar problem in future titles if he doesn't get into MvCI. And I wouldn't compare either to someone like MegaMan X because they don't have anywhere near the legacy.

They'll do it when Namco gets their head out of their ass and puts up the Ace Combat PS2 trilogy.

Eh, it's kind of a reverse-Nintendo situation here. Since MvC3, Capcom hasn't released many titles that introduced popular new characters. There are some, primarily in SF and RE, but at some point they're gonna have to look farther back for characters and they'll most definitely remember the demand for Gene.
And if they are gonna add back Viewtiful Joe and Amaterasu, might as well complete the Clover trifecta.

Characters like Gene, Asura, Bulleta etc. are aimed at fans, especially when there is fan demand (which there clearly is with Gene).
They don't just include presently known/popular characters. You say Megaman is popular but did he make it into MVC3?

Also capcom put fan favorites from older Street Fighter games into SF5, so I could see this time around Capcom putting in some old fan favorites..
You'd be wrong.
The game is going to have bucketloads of DLC for years to come. Capcom is currently all about long term DLC support for their major console games.
You can classify most characters as presently known or popular, with an additional factor of "fighting game legacy," which is the only reason we still see characters like Tron Bonne and Shuma Gorath. X wasn't included because Capcom was hell-bent on not having a MegaMan of any kind in the game, and was convinced (and tried to convince us) that rehashed TvC Zero was enough of a rep for the series, and that he provided more gameplay variety (another minor factor in selection).
This title seems like it'll be focused more on character popularity and who is the most marketable (or most in need of advertisement for future games/movies) due to it's reduced roster size, and showing X first thing. X was a no-brainer. Far and away the most requested character (probably would still be the most requested character in a new poll). Gameplay variety be damned, they'll just figure it out.
But if we're looking at 15-20 Capcom characters total for this title, I can't see them giving another newcomer spot to Gene (as much as I love him, I don't even see Joe getting back in). I'm sure Asura has higher fan demand than Gene by now. If MegaMan X isn't a part of a poll, same with Phoenix Wright, Strider, and Frank West, who do all of those people vote for? Would Gene really rise to the top? I highly doubt it. And while I can't prove my doubt, a four year old poll also doesn't prove he's the next-in-line-most-popular-choice for a 2017 Versus title either.
Seem like they are working on the Gambit movie still.

I think Mike Jones mentioned Vitality as an effect of another off-hand. Regardless, I expect one to either replenish or regenerate health. Maybe Soul.

That's what the soul gem did in MHS.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but the Press Release I got a few days ago mentioned six total Infinity Gems that players will select from.
Confirmed so far...
Power (In Trailer)
Time (In Trailer)
Space (mentioned by the Mikes during the PSX interview)
Mind (Not Shown)
Reality (Not Shown)
Soul (Not Shown)

Power: Damage Increase
Time: Speed Boost
Space: Super Armor
Mind: Meter Regeneration
Soul: Health Recovery
Reality: Elemental Attacks/Projectile
From MHS, but I'm sure Space and Reality would be different, maybe Mind as well.

I'm hoping one of the gems, either space or reality, fucks with mechanics like more otgs and more wallbounces.

If X uses the Reality stone, does he get cancelled?
I thought that was already confirmed.
Btw, you made a small error in your last MvC video. You mentioned that SFV was primarily developed by Dimps, which isn't the case. The majority of SFV, about 60-70% of developed, was handled in-house at Capcom. Since games like RE6, DmC and Lost Planet 3 underperformed, Capcom reorganized much of their company structure and moved away from outsourcing. So now, most of their projects, both console and mobile, are handled mostly in-house now and in the future.
Source of the 60-70% statement:

You should add a small annotation to the video to clear up potential confusion. To save you time, here's the time tag for the video.

If anything, the upcoming movie lessens his chances (Marvel doesn't really like promoting the Fox films).
And even then, going by what Ryce said, there won't be any X-Men/F4 characters until DLC.

...Like the Power Gem?
I took myself for a ride.
Yeah I believe you can see Ryu doing this in the trailer right? Wallbounces on everything and it looks like his launcher picks someone up OTG.
I think Space should let you move through people Vision style or something.
Do we know that for sure, or is this going to be another situation where the license expires and the support dies?
I hope it has long-term support, but haven't really seen any sort of indication in the materials and interviews so far.

but the Speed gem did that !

Oh man, I hope Venom actually comes back this time but I heard he's too difficult to animate in 3D.
Well shit. I don't know much about the old game lol.
Also I guess the Soul Stone would do that, considering that's what's in Vision's head in the movies. But even aside from something like dashing through someone, it'd be cool to activate a low-frame invulnerability window where opponent's attacks whiff and you can act freely.

Now-a-days, I'd imagine that a Monster Hunter monster could fit that bill much better.
Rajang, for example. Every's "favorite" Super Saiyan would be more than up to the task...
And with Hirose's background that extends into being a part of the programming team for MonHun throughout the series' lifetime up to MH4, I wouldn't put it past him to find maybe a way to stick 1-2 reps on the roster, if he could.
Make that "probably", then. I assume it based on Capcom's current business model, the name Infinite, which suggests it's a long term thing, and recent comments by Max or Yipes or either about Marvel supposedly working closely with Capcom and the game being developed with long term support in mind.
I doubt we'll have another MvC3 situation at any rate.
In Marvel Super Heroes
Power = attacks hit harder
Time = you move way faster
Space = you gain extra defense
Reality = you get a bunch of gimmicky projectiles that shoot out along with your normals attacks
Mind = your super meter regens
Soul = Your health regens
Now in MvCI we've seen that
Power = Gives all your attacks wall and ground bounce
Time = gives you a dash-teleport and a custom combo-like ability
Marvel was a different beast in 2012, both in business practices and popularity. I think it's pretty unlikely that there haven't already been significant discussions and planning for post launch support. They've proven to be very forward thinking and hands on when managing their properties.
I wouldn't be surprised at all to see some Monster Hunter representation, though I feel like they'd want to include a poster boy of the series like Gore Magala. At the same time, I don't think I've ever seen a huge beast like that done very well in a fighting game. That hurt box would be fucked.

That is not true. Check the credits and you will see that most of the people who made SF 5, also worked on 4.

Just a reminder for people who like to discuss about characters or stages. There is a thread for it.

His god power keeps his pimp hand strong, so trust him or you won't last very long. We need Gene in Infinite!

"Don't act like you don't like the ball buster!"
As poster boys go, Rathalos is probably the most likely, as he's been one of the most familiar "faces" of the series. That much probably will work whether they go with an actual one, or the little one that Ryuto/Lute rides on in the Stores series.
Either way, if size is really a problem (and there ain't gonna be any giants in the mix), the easiest answer would probably be to say that it's still a "juvenile that's not fully grown". Or again, they could just opt for someone like Rajang, who wouldn't be that much bigger, scalewise, than Sentinel was.
"Ball buster~!"
No idea. If a miracle happens & MvCI comes to the Switch, we could get some reveals in January. Otherwise, it's anyone's guess.

Nope... the Capcom Pro Tour for this year just wrapped up- if they follow a similar schedule next year there won't be any Capcom sponsored tournaments until around February.
That's what I was thinking. We could see a pair of reveals after each CPT major starting in late February or so. I'd expect bigger info-dumps at around E3, SDCC, & NYCC.
I'm expecting this as well.
Yeah and it seems like Ryu can self OTG with it.
To be honest we know jack squat about the game's mechanics. We don't even know the controls.
