You know what, I’m believing the base roster will be 34. It adds up with the datamine leak and the variant covers. There will be 20 variant covers, 3 of them will prbably be for dlc characters, so 17 characters on each side on the base roster. The datamine has Ghost Rider, Dormammu, Venom, Haggar and Frank West. Spider-man and Ant-man ain’t in that list, so maybe there’s one Capcom character missing too, or Grandmaster is in the base roster.
I think Venom and Grandmaster are going to be DLC just like Sigma, going off of what Ryce already leaked, though Ant-Man might have been swapped with Venom in the base roster at some point. Spider Man is on the list though. My guess is 16 per side. The variant covers might have some repeats to showcase the same character in different fights.
I’m thinking (hoping) the Hunter is just going to be a generic enemy you fight in the story mode (like Ultron Drone and Xgardian) and the actual MH rep is a monster.
I don’t, but with how lazy X moveset is, the Hunter will probably have only three weapons or something like that, so a monster might be a better option.
So the question is which Ghost Rider? I like Robbie but I always felt that Johnny Blaze and Dante made a good team and dialogue. I think Danny Ketch is the least likely to appear.
I also wonder how they’ll handle his moveset/magic routes. S will probably be moved to crouching HP, so maybe low chain will be moved to df+HP?
