Different times. MCU was just starting and they didnt care for games.
Alone the X-Men getting axed is a obvious indication that Marve/Disney gonna have a huge say in it this time for what they want in it.
I remember everyone saying characters like Dormammu and MODOK being in vs Venom and X Men was because of the big MCU push
Getting regina, devil dinosaur, and Hauzer in the same game would be amazing.
Thankfully unlike Smash, I don't have as much personal investment here. I mean I do, but if Regina doesn't show up I at least have Resident Evil characters to fall back on.
But I really hope she does show up. Cut down on some bigger IPs, and let more series get a chance. Instead of 4 RE and SF characters make it 3. Instead of 3 darkstalkers make it 2, etc. Get the most amount of a capcom catalog in there.
You know who we are going to need: Miguel O'Hara
Rocket is popular and has had his own comic at several points now. They're not gonna leave him out of 4, and I doubt he will be DLC.

Wolverine is practically the face of x-men, and magneto is the villian of xmen. If this was smash bros, and Pokemon was x-men, it would be like taking Pikachu and Jigglypuff out.veteran status doesnt mean shit
Marvel Cinematic UniverseWhat is MCU? I keep seeing it on this thread, what does it mean?
Low key, I hope they still put a lot of effort into the alternate colours for each of the characters. It was super awesome how far they went with all of the costumes in UMvC3 (most of these links are dead now it seems)..
But, y'know, I'll take colour edit mode as well if they can sneak it past Marvel.
Foolkiller and slapstick have their own comics. that doesn't mean anything.
Marvel tends to include characters to promote upcoming movies and shows, so rocket probably won't make it in as anything more than an assist if Groot is already there.
I fully expect a voiced alt of Spider-Gwen for Spider-Man (maybe even a unique victory animation), and Gwenpool if Deadpool makes it.
Foolkiller and Slapstick ain't popular, and haven't been in a $700m grossing movie.
Rocket is popular, has several game appearances outside of UMvC3, and has had his own comic at several points now. They're not gonna leave him out of 4, and I doubt he will be DLC.
Can you imagine having Regina and Devil Dinosaur in the same game? Oh Lawd.
Is it just me or does Polygon's article not refer to it as "PS4/PC" exclusive, while saying "coming to consoles next year"?
EDIT: Actually, it's better to ask directly to them, and see if they'll answer.
@MikeMcWhertor said:@DonAbbade sorry, I don't!
@MikeMcWhertor said:@iantothemax Specifics on who's in. Deduction on who's out. No more info to give other than that.
Deadpool is absolutely not making it in. that character is 100% fox.
They had a huge say in 3. Shuma and Sentinel were the only characters Capcom really pulled for that wouldnt have made it anyway.
What about Jessica Jones? That would be an interesting addition as well I think.
Yup I can see this, which again I think gwenpool might be a character to even gether more exposure as a fuck you to fox.
Wolverine and Magneto could still be in, and like Dormammu they can introduce future charactersBut the difference is this time have characters established/upcoming they can promote with this.
Why would they pick a random unknown Marvel character if they can give the spot to a movie character.
Heck apparently they cant even have 2 spots free for Magneto and Wolverine.
Also, he told Ian Walker (who freelances for Red Bull eSports) that the only confirmations are characters they're adding. The removal of X-Men characters is based on deduction.

You realize Carol is probably the only one on that team that makes it in, right?
Not enough people throwing out Ronan the Accuser for Marvel's side
YupSo.. if I'm understanding this right..
Groot and Ant-Man confirmed?
Wolverine and Magneto could still be in, and like Dormammu they can introduce future characters
More I think about it the more I'm OK with no Xmen
Will change things more than nearly anything else, and there are still plenty of characters to choose from.
war machine, vision, black panther, Ultron, Loki, Hulk Buster, groot, star lord, Destroyer, winter Soilder,
No shortage of characters by any means.
And Panther
There's literally no reason to think this. They probably won't add any more X Men and Wolverine is the head Marvel character.They won't. Marvel are not promoting Fox's characters.
Marvel side is easy:
Iron Man
Cap
Thor
Spider-Man
Hulk
Black Widow
Hawkeye
Loki
Ultron
Dr. Strange
Rocket Raccoon
Star Lord
Groot
Black Panther
Winter Soldier
Vision
Scarlett Witch
Ant Man
Wasp
Daredevil
That's 20 and there's a whole lot more they can sell as DLC.
Capcom side should honestly just be the MVC3 Capcom lineup with Megaman Classic. They nailed the Capcom side with 3, and there hasn't really been anyone new since then.
