Pretty much. Especially hearing people compare this game to SFV in terms of content, when that is just not the case. Like okay, the game doesn't have as many characters as a few entries as earlier entries in the series at launch, but I actually like the roster we are getting a lot, and am excited for the characters we may get in the future.
KoFXIV gave the full roster (of 50) day 1 and made no mention of DLC.
And no, such DLC and people buying it blind never made sense to me.
Once I heard the release date I knew this title was on a budget. The timeline between the initial reveal and release date is too small.
Haha, haven't even tried it, that's the problem/good thing. I mean, I've been waiting for the game for so long that I will definitely put a shit ton of time into it now.
That doesnt bode well Marvel's given statements about how will they care for each title they put on console etc etc.

Disney sets mandates like this with their partners all the time. The Disney/EA deal for Star Wars games stipulates a ton of stuff EA must adhere to, as well as release windows for projects.

This game is going to get shredded upon release if the info is true, and if it fails, the series is probably toast.(((
If that happens, i'll never get to see Regina in a VS fighting game
If they're trying to hone the game to ensure that every character is substantially different, then Arthur will probably make it in.
I'd put hard money on Arthur making it in.
Please put Arthur in, Capcom.
I'll be your friend.
Your best bet will be skin and maybe not even launch , as DLC$$

Some of the most requested characters in KOF14 were left for DLC.
Rock Howard? Yamazaki? Vanessa? Come on now, those were obvious fan favorites, while the base game had characters like Tung Fu Rue and Choi.

Don't give up hope! There's always the possibility of TvC!
It's very hard to justify a fully new Miles character when there are so many other options out there that would be more unique.

Hmm, is there a source for that? I stand corrected if so.
As mentioned earlier, don't overlook Marvel's potential involvement in the limitations here. It wasn't until way later after UMvC3 that people started understanding the constraints w/ Marvel licensing timelines and looking at the bigger picture. Still, this took a disappointing turn.

How long was this game in development?

It also had less than MvC2, another 3v3 game. Conversely, Infinite will have more characters than MvC1, a 2v2 game.

In reality it makes sense there haven't been that many reveal trailers, because there are barely any new characters to show...
I am the sad

Source: I was at EA when the deal was signed.
I'm talking about characters new to the series, like Captain Marvel and Ultron, not the actual roster count. There are only seven characters in this game who weren't playable in a previous entry. That's pathetic.

Capcom is just tiresome at this point. Beginning to be over them altogether. What a disgrace.
That is one sad attempt at defending Capcom, yet again.

Welp. So much for this series. GJ Capcom.
More inclined to blame Capcom given that if this game wasn't coming out they wouldn't have a big title released during this fiscal year.
Sounds about right.

Why would the press give the game no mercy because your particular faves aren't in the game?
The game sounds like it has a full cinematic story mode, arcade mode, 28 characters (the same size as Injustice 2), and it looks fun.
Did I say anything inaccurate there?
Lol, is "Capcom fanboy" the only counter you guys have anymore?
Every recent fighting game has DLC. That includes your beloved KOF14. Inj2 and T7 announced DLC before release, just like MvCI. And, just like MvCI, Inj2 and T7 have lots of reused assets.

It's probably a little of both, but I do agree it's probably more on Capcom.

Can't wait til things calm down. Tatsunoko vs Capcom only had 26 characters and people are singing its praises. MvCI has 28, plus 6 from DLC and all of a sudden it's shite. Realistically, the ones proclaiming they aren't going to buy it now are being either reactive or never had intentions to buy the game.

TvC had a lot of new characters. Not a good comparaison.
Exactly, The reactions really makes no sense but it seems like it's always the ones with an agenda.
Yeah I understand some people are getting awfully hyperbolic but this isn't by all means the end of the world here

They're reusing assets, though.
No matter how much you may love the Vs series, a brand new game in the series having less new character than UMVC3 is a joke.
I wish Ryce or Saikyo would just put us out of our misery and leak some shit. This is already too much. It feels like a really bad joke.
Those characters in tatsunoko were created from scratch. At least 20 of the characters in MvCI are copy-pasted from UMvC3 with minor changes. It really should be larger.

So are the reactions so far tbh

Knowing how lazy Capcom has become, this will probably be the cover of the game. Just like that lazy ass cover for SFV.
It probably will be. I doubt they get any good artwork done for the game.
Hey if you can't see the difference between a game launching with 16 (or 28) characters and announcing DLC day 1 and another game launching with 50 characters and announcing DLC over half a year later after release (as per fan requests and polls) then there isn't much else I can say.
No one thought Rock Howard would make it into KOF btw.
