I think the guy who mentioned Ant Man up there is off the mark slightly, but on the mark in terms of Loki, Black Widow, Nick Fury, and THANOS. Hell yeah. Asura too, never played AW but when I saw the trailer I wondered why he didn’t get in Ultimate.
Enough digression, why won’t Antman be in? He is in Hawkeye’s hyper combo. It’s not like Servbot in Tron’s combos who is just a generic character, but it’s a real fictional character with a storyline. Am I stretching too far thinking this is why Ant Man wouldn’t get added?
The infinites in this game are so irrelevant compared to certain assists and point characters.
If I’m not good enough or well informed about Marvel to say it doesn’t need a balance patch, there’s no way in hell you are. Reductionist argument here maybe, but if you think the game **should not **have a patch, you are discounting dozens of arguments made here. If you think it **should **have a patch, all you need to really do is cite one thing like Soul Fist, Hidden Missiles, etc. - So to claim it shouldn’t be patched seems like an incredibly bold statement
I’m starting to think the reason people don’t want a balance patch is because they don’t wanna switch their ____/Missiles/Vergil team. Get over it, we live in an age where you can actually put in a balance patch without hundreds of arcade operators each spending hundreds of dollars on update. I don’t know of any style of modern game that doesn’t regularly receive updates?

Careful with your sound logic, the villagers might get angry and grab their torches and pitchforks.
Personally…
There are VERY few things in this game that I think COULD be nerfed as a solution although I believe for some other solutions are possible:
<ul>
<li><b>Astral Vision</b> - Lower the amount of meter she can gain while in it. Better yet make all transformation supers negate meter gain across the board. (If Dante/wolvie can’t, why should she?)</li>
<li><b>Lightning/Buster</b> - Zero can already use a charged buster to negate any X-Factor cancel comebacks and lightening loops do WAY too much for so little. Personally, I think make the damage for LL lower so it requires a <b>Min</b> of two <b>COMPLETE</b> reps along with the initial start-up combo (so three if you started with it) OR Make it so that in the air only, Buster cannot be cancelled into anything else. I personally think that would break the character so I advise against but I hate him anyway so atm idc. </li>
<li><b>Swords/Slash</b> - Take away Vergil’s ability to negate projectiles with his slash. He gets away with WAAAYYYY to much and WAY too many Happy Birthday’s because the projectile assists of the opponent are instantly negated to an H/S happy Vergil.
Also, why is Rapid Slash faster then Jet Stream? If I can’t go Ham with mixups and then turn you around with Jet Stream (the same damn thing that <b>ALSO</b> get’s you punished if you don’t cancel into super) because it’s too slow why should he be able to? Well that’s my personal reasoning. The less bias reasoning is that it’s an easy combo/reset starter that basically gives Vergil a built in reset no assembly required.
</li>
</ul>
So far those seem to be the most prudent nerfs to the game atm in terms of characters.

<b>HOWEVER</b> I would GLADLY keep all of those things as is in return for a playable online netcode <b>And/Or</b> The alteration and balancing of both TACs and X-Factor.
<b>X-factor</b> for the most part I’m ok with although I think Universally a damage reduction would be nice in exchange for more speed or a longer duration imo. Or maybe only make it usable for your anchor character. THAT would change the game DRAMATICALLY.
<b>TACs…</b> all reward no risk. I get 2/3 chances per every TAC. You get 1/3 each time. You guess right. (slow clap) I guess right, dead character…
<b>Netcode…</b>
Step One… Fix
Step Two… It
Step Three… Fix It.
That’s my rant for today lol
I really think an update is coming. I mean it’s free money/promotion for Marvel.
If there is another version of Mahvel 3, Thanos & Star-Lord are definitely getting in.
