The big body characters ain’t meant to be grapplers. They are characters meant to kill you using fewest moves possible. Guys like Hagger are meant to be grapplers. Someone like Nemesis isn’t.
When did I say they were? I was just thinking of big characters that could be on Capcom’s roster. What I said about grapplers is that you wouldn’t get Zangief and Haggar in the same game, not that all big characters are somehow grapplers that doesn’t even make sense.
Lost planet’s PTX was only memorable for being a huge character but never a remarkable character in fighting game history unlike Galactus, Onslaught and Apocalypse. PTX’s design was not as interesting like other Capcom mecha. They should have picked along the likes of Megaman X bosses, Tech Romancer Robots or simply Jin Saotome’s Blondia. It should have came from from 2d brawlers, 2D adventure scrollers, shmup bosses and mecha fighting games not from an FPS. It might be because of promotional cause that made Capcom scrapped Zero G-13 Gouki to rival Gold Lightan.
It’s okay to using obscure resources to expand references for character diversity and find synergy to compromised a relevant theme for a crossover game, but it’s different when the goal is just make things obscure, different and random that is a bad decision and lack of creativity. If a crossover FG game doesn’t want to go All-Star game at least have a significance in plot and synergy to each other.
Take note that the possible cast of Marvel characters in MVCi are mostly members and enemies of the Avengers, So each of them is easily known to have a common goal and synergy to one another. Even together with few X-men characters would never complicate interaction to each other. So I see no problem having 5-8 Street Fighters in a crossover fighting games, since this is also a fighting game. The best is for Capcom to used their previous “modified”/“What-if” Street Fighter counterparts that is exclusive in the past crossover games and will never be in any Street Fighter games. They were icons of fighting games that brings nostalgia overload for being a remarkable moment of arcade gaming history. Crossover Capcom games is were “what-if” characters belongs and shine!!
A possible Spencer alternative here is Kraken a villain from Powerstone
If I had to pick a street fighter character, I’d probably pick Rashid. Only so I can hear a sweet remix of his theme.
But seriously, Nash would be cool. I’m more of a “lets include characters from games other than street fighter” guy, but I do admit street fighter does have good characters
Street Fighter has its own game. Outside of the obligatory Ryu leave them out of MVC unless they are villians which capcom needs more of like M.Bison or Gill, maybe Juri as well.
There are too many series that are just left in the cold for me to care about a ton of SF characters in Marvel.
Asura (Asuras Wrath)
Jubei (Onimusha Dawn of Dreams)
Samanoske (Oninusha)
Rogue (Power Stone)
Falcon (Power Stone)
Ada Wong (Resident Evil)
Dante (Devil May Cry)
Saturn or June (Star Gladiator)
Nina (Breath Of Fire)
Jedah or BB Hood (Darkstalkers)
Some obscure or random monster from Warzards or Monster Hunter.
Rival Schools doesn’t really have iconic characters but if you were hard pressed I would say Akira or Batsu if you want to get boring, Tiffany if you need to sex it up or Bowman if you need affirmative action. TBH the more interesting characters would be Natsu or Yurika.
Victor Delacroix from Chaos Legion should replace vergil

Thats interesting thought there is also Nero that can be a less Vergil or a combination of Vergil and Dante. If they are not gonna include Vegil or Dante.
Sieg is also interesting for being a summoner and swords man. Capcom had no red head summoner in the crossover game.
Victor looks like Fou-lu from Breath of Fire 4 mentioned by someone earlier in the thread.
Fou-lu is BOF’s Ryu other half like Morrigan is to Lilith, So that means he can also turn himself into a Dragon. His like Capcom’s answer to Sephiroth and Bahamut of Final Fantasy series.
This type of characters can have interaction with Infinity Gems like Reality and Soul because of their character’s power and origin or plots dealt into their origin games. Capcom had alot of underated character that is rich on design even they are inspired by other games. They are obscure characters but not random but sensible to a theme.
