Ok really, last tidbit this time - Black Panther isn't in the base game.

Considering the variant cover stuff I guess it's a safe bet that he's already planned for DLC.

Saving the DLC for his movie next year

 

[mnz]

Especially after how barebones RE7 was.

Was it? I wouldn't know. But MH and RE are Capcom's money makers, not sure if a new DMC would get their treatment...

But why

 

[J-Tier]

This is incredible, the heel turn from hype and hope, to hysteria and hate.

The remaining reveals better be amazing af.

Gonna guess this

He already said no Black Panther on Day 1.

 

[Anth0ny]

damn i guess they're saving black panther for the movie release

probably thanos too


wonder if loki is base roster or tie in with thor ragnarok

 

[Lothars]

No X-Men is the big bummer but I still have high hopes for this game plus the hate this game might get will be overblown.

 

[Baleoce]

Seriously, guys, prepare yourself. The launch roster is a massive fucking disappointment.

Been prepared ever since they announced dlc characters before showing us the whole base roster.

 

[BassForever]

He already said no Black Panther on Day 1.

I dunno what you're talking about

Spoiler

I started making that before he posted that

 

[opricnik]

Thats seems to reason why they decided to use Ultron Sigma and robots as main villain for story cause they have no fuckin villains in the game lol.

 

[Lulubop]

Been prepared ever since they anounced dlc characters before showing us the base roster.

like every fighter? This really isn't fair

 

[Professor Beef]

From the sound of this thread, the roster sounds like it'll be boring. Seems like they're gonna nickle and dime the hardcore fans for what they really want.

Why wouldn't they? Sounds like a smart decision tbh.

 

[BronsonLee]

Why wouldn't they? Sounds like a smart decision tbh.

This is your fault somehow

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I found the cover art for MvCI.

 

[opricnik]

Why wouldn't they? Sounds like a smart decision tbh.

That seems to work for Street Fighter 5 /s

 

[BitStyle]

This game is dead to me

 

[kirblar]

Lets do the time warp again: BP IS DLC edition

3. AVENGERS #10 - Ultron
8. GENERATIONS: BANNER HULK & THE TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #1 - Hulk
9. GENERATIONS: THE UNWORTHY THOR & THE MIGHTY THOR #1 - Thor
13. MIGHTY THOR #22 - Thor
10. HAWKEYE #9 - Hawkeye
12. INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #10 - Iron Man
14. ROCKET #4 - Rocket/Groot
11. I AM GROOT #4 - Rocket/Groot
15. SECRET EMPIRE #8 - Captain America
19. THE MIGHTY CAPTAIN MARVEL #8 - Captain Marvel
18. THANOS #10 - Thanos
20. VENOM #153 -Venom
2. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #31 -Spider-Man
16. SPIDER-MAN #19 -Spidey/Venom
17. SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL #20 -Spidey/Venom
7. DOCTOR STRANGE #24 - Dr. Strange
1. ALL-NEW GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #7 - ???
5. CHAMPIONS #11 - ???
6. DEFENDERS #4 - ???
4. BLACK PANTHER #17 - Black Panther (DLC)

Now that we know that BP is almost assuredly DLC, we know that the 3 DLC characters are included. We know they're newbies.

Already announced: Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Ultron, Rocket&Groot, Captain America
Strongly Implied: Spider-Man, Venom, Thanos, Dr. Strange,
Wildcard: ???, ???

DLC: Black Panther, ???, ???

The catch here is that if there's only one MvC2 rep making it in among the remaining characters, either Venom or Thanos didn't make the cut, so there's a third potential wildcard slot there.

Also, w/ 14 characters needing a cover all to themselves, that would mean one of the Thor or Spidey/Venom covers is actually for someone else, suggesting Doc Ock or Loki as a potential DLC character.

 

[mnz]

Why wouldn't they? Sounds like a smart decision tbh.

It's really only a smart decision if the base game is popular enough.

 

[7Th]

Why wouldn't they? Sounds like a smart decision tbh.

Sure worked for SFV...

 

[MoxManiac]

Is Ghost Rider considered MCU? He was in Agents of Shield, I think.

 

[Zackat]

I was hype for black panther. Hype deflated.

 

[Weiss]

Alright screw it. I'll pass until the complete edition. Not spending 80 bucks on a half finished game.

 

[KingBroly]

Ok really, last tidbit this time - Black Panther isn't in the base game.

Considering the variant cover stuff I guess it's a safe bet that he's already planned for DLC.

WOW, I thought he was a Safe Bet for sure.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Gonna guess this

You have venom but no spider man

 

[BadWolf]

like every fighter? This really isn't fair

Not every fighter.

 

[Vermillion]

Seriously, guys, prepare yourself. The launch roster is a massive fucking disappointment.

Wait, please let us know... Black Panther?

EDIT: Oh, fuck this game then. Should have known better - not this time Capcom!

 

[Baleoce]

like every fighter? This really isn't fair

That doesn't sound unreasonable to me at all.

 

[BitStyle]

Alright screw it. I'll pass until the complete edition. Not spending 80 bucks on a half finished game.

Same. Will be there for Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom Infinite

 

[BassForever]

You have venom but no spider man

Lol I just assumed he was confirmed and forgot to include him

Edit: dropped nova for spiderman, though I guess it could be ghost rider dropped for him.

 

[Professor Beef]

Is this gonna be another Smash thread type of deal where people are upset that Obscure Character #11 from something only they've heard of isn't included? Of COURSE they're going for safe picks here, people. They want characters that are recognizable to get more people to buy in.

This is your fault somehow

Om nom nom

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Yeah, I'm not buying this at all. Maybe in a couple of years. So sad.

Only 4 female characters in the base roster. Fuck that.

 

[TreIII]

Learned some new details over the weekend. I'm going to try to keep it vague and not confirm any characters specifically to avoid ending up on Eventhubs or whatever.

- 28 character launch roster, I know all of them but 1 for sure and I think I might know who the last one is.
- No Ace Attorney, Viewtiful Joe, Final Fight or Okami characters. No Ms. Marvel, no X-Men or F4 to speak of.
- Of the remaining cast there's one returning MvC2 character, nine characters coming back from 3 (ten if the last character is who I think it is) and only four more newcomers.
- I know of one DLC character besides Sigma and he's coming back from MvC2, not sure if he's scheduled for this year or next year.

There's definitely some cool surprises left but I get the impression most people are going to be disappointed.

 

[Dahbomb]

They should have just delayed the game and included the 6 character DLCs in the base roster. This is going to make a lot of people really unhappy and probably lose them sales.

Capcom gonna greed it up.

 

[BronsonLee]

Om nom nom

STOP EATING OUR TICKETS

 

[Lulubop]

Not every fighter.

Which? Also they announced they special editions along with the DLC stuff, because they'll be included. So tell me, does it make sense to announce your special addition and not tell us wtf is actually included?

 

[KingBroly]

They should have just delayed the game and included the 6 character DLCs in the base roster. This is going to make a lot of people really unhappy and probably lose them sales.

Capcom gonna greed it up.

I'm waiting for the 'Story Mode in 3 months after launch' shoe to drop again

 

[Dahbomb]

So how many non whites/non alien characters do we have in the base game?

I am going to take a wild guess and say... 0. Black Panther was single handedly holding down for his people now even he isn't in the base roster.


Capcom is for sure going to get flak for this.

 

[BadWolf]

Only 4 female characters in the base roster. Fuck that.

Theme for SFV: Blondes, blondes everywhere.

Theme for MVCI: Sausagefest.

 

[Chavelo]

There's just too many fighting games out or coming out that I don't really have time to be fucked around with anymore. I felt like I lost a whole year with SFV, trying to play FGs competitively.

Fuck it, Tekken 7 already has me blue balled at the moment, while Xrd Rev 2 will be fun to mess around with.

You dun goofed, Capcom.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Might not be Capcoms fault if Marvel forced them to have it by a certain date

 

[opricnik]

Ryu is asian
chun li is chineese

you are wrong already

 

[direct_quote]

28 would be reasonable if the characters were built from the ground up. Injustice 2 looking models/ street fighter V quality... Capcom must be hurting for money...

 

[Dahbomb]

Ryu is asian
chun li is chineese

you are wrong already

Not dark enough for me!

 

[Father_Brain]

Capcom is the publisher. It's pretty rare for a licensor to issue those kinds of mandates.

 

[opricnik]

Not dark enough for me!

fuck off with derailing thread shit already.
you said there wont be any white human and there are already in confirmed roster.

 

[Neoxon]

Wait, you're not liking Tekken 7?
