Marvel side speculation/ wishlist
Black Panther (getting a solo movie he’s a lock)
Wasp ( is going to be part of a team up movie where her names in th title , is female, has more move set potential than ant man)
Daredevil ( more popular than ever thanks to Netflix show)
these may be a bit more risky than avengers + their movie villains and Spider-Man but I’d say 70% confident on these.
Capcom side
Juri (she’s always wanted to be in a marvel game let’s be honest.)
Samanouske (Capcom released a statement about reviving dead franchises right after the MvC reveal and I’ve seen onimousha pop up in more than one discussion about games they want to bring back)
Strider ( because Strider)
I’m not quite sure about the roster size yet so I’m going to venture a guess that the initial roster size like MvC3 (36.) I don’t have my finger on the pulse of who’s in demand on the Capcom side so here are my Marvel picks:
1.) Captain Marvel
2.) Captain America
3.) Iron Man
4.) Thor
5.) Loki
6.) Hulk
7.) Black Widow
8.) Hawkeye
9.) Scarlet Witch
10.) Vision
11.) Ant man & Wasp
12.) Doctor Strange
13.) Black Panther
14.) Groot
15.) Rocket Raccoon
16.) Star Lord
17.) Ultron
18.) Thanos
DLC pack 2: Marvel Netflix pack
1.) Daredevil
2.) Jessica Jones
3.) Luke Cage
4.) Iron Fist
Characters I could possibly see making it if the game is successful:
1.) Elektra
2.) Punisher
3.) Winter Soldier
4.) Falcon
5.) Gamora
6.) Drax
7.) Psylocke
8.) Gambit
The thing is, they all run around the whole court mechanic. Phoenix is funny because it’s this normal guy who couldn’t hurt a fly bumbling around solving a case and inadvertently beating you up. If you put in another anime lawyer it’s not really that special anymore. I definitely understand wanting more from your favorite series but I just don’t see what another lawyer could do and I don’t really see the merit in cloning Phoenix. It’ll only serve to make him less special.
But then he’s just kind of some guy in underarmor. It’s all about the flash!
My own point:
Does anyone else wanna see MvC2 Jill back? I didn’t really care for MvC3 Jill, so generic.
Also same for Chris, they may as well have called him CoD Guy.
However, no one has assumptions over Daisy johnson/Quake? Agents of Shield is still running strong and Quake was actually fun in Future Fight. Id pick her over Emma Frost… is she even relevant now? I dont know what happened to her after AvX.
