I think it’s very possible that the characters were chosen based on the story and the fact that they want to keep other big time characters for DLC.
MODOK I guess they wanted to use as story, but don’t care for him to be playable.
It’s Thanos. There’s no “possibly” needed.
Is there potential for RE characters other than the Chris/Jill/Wesker/Nemesis in UMvC3? And anything relating to A.I.M.? I think AIMbrella will very likely become a thing down the line, along with a demon onslaught featuring Jedah and one of Dormammu/Thanos.
i hope not. dont see anybody else warranting a spot other than wesker.
I’d say Leon except I don’t think there’s enough to differentiate him from Chris.
Ada Wong would be another contender but I can’t see her getting in ahead of Wesker or Jill.
Speaking of Jill, I’d much prefer her MvC2 moveset and transfer RE5 Jill to Black Widow, but I don’t think either one is going to happen.
EDIT:
I forgot about the possibility of Jack Baker. (I haven’t played an RE game since 4)
Rebecca Chambers
I know the RE movies aren’t Capcom but I always wished they would put Alice in the game.
Give me Sheva damnit. I’d be down for axeman too.
Make her a summoner character and I’m sold. To maker her different that Frank, make her summons super installs with boss monsters like Axe Man.
Nice got a wishlist thing out of my system, now to accept the fate of an uninspired roster.
Jack Baker.
just a wild thought…if dlc characters are in the story mode, so far this remains to be true, then maybe all dlc characters will be or have a story mode connected with them. maybe not tied directly to the infinity stones but something on the latter. would be kinda cool actually.
Capcom will be at PAX WEST showing off MVCI

So same thing as SFV, then
Balrog, Juri, Urien, Kolin, Ed all appeared in SFV’s story mode before becoming playable later
Hmm… Let me think…
First and foremost:
Wesker needs to be in this game, the villain count is far to low.
Tbh, I found Sheva Resi’s most likeable new protagonist introduced in the last few years (Helena was just too whiney and don’t even get me started on that broken condom bastard named Jake)
The problem is, most RE characters (protagonists) are too similar when it would come to playstyle (and Chris already being in that spot)
Making her a summoner archetype would solve that but people would complain if she would make it over the likes of Leon.
I know Leon is popular enough to make it in through dlc but how can you make him enough different from Chris to begin with? (Not that I’m a huge fan of Mr. Kennedy)
Gun fu perhaps? (Taking some cues from RE Vendetta)
Ada Wong would be another popular pick, but the thing that makes her stand out, her hookgun, isn’t so special in MvCi. We already have Spiderman and Spencer zipping and swinging around (perhaps Venom as well)
A monster would be easier to work with, as much as I like Lickers, they are a minor threat.
I have to agree that the “Axe man” is a good pick, the Executioner Majini has become quite an iconic RE creature over the years, plus there is no axe user in MvCi.
The main problem is, he just a another manufactured monster with no unique identity like Nemesis.
Ooze Rachael from RE Revelations would be a decent pick imo
If Capcom wants to promote RE2 remake they could use Mutated William Birkin, but I think he could be to graphic for a Teen rated game (that didn’t stop Nemmy though but he’s mostly covered up)
I would rather see all of the above monsters over Jack Baker, I know he may be the most memorable enemy from RE7 but he wouldn’t make much sense outside of the context of RE7’s setting
(As in the reason he does what he does, I’m trying to keep it spoiler free here).
Besides that he uses shovels, chainsaws, etc., Frank’s got that part covered already.
If Jill would make it back, how would you guys want her to be in terms of outfit/moveset?
I know brainwashed Jill wasn’t a popular choice to begin with but it made sense because of RE5 being promoted but now they could just use an BSAA outfit.
(And use part of her MvC3 moveset for Black Widow)
Edit:
Double, I screwed up my spoiler tags ^^;
It’s actually kind of surprising they never went with Tyrant.
Especially since he was in Jill’s MVC2 moveset, and they considered him for TVC as the Capcom Giant before they went with PTX.
Was thinking today about how hilariously fucking broken (aka LITERAL GOD TIER) Ammy would be in this game:
- Can throw a bunch of heavy normals at the start of a combo
- Power Slash stays out for a long time (god, imagine that shit with the Space/Reality Surge)
- Forward moving normals/specials for Time Storm bullshit
- Okami Shuffle + tag (give everyone the Doom/Ammy THC)
- An unblockable, fullscreen slow super that applies to both opponents and cannot be escaped from
Some other random musings on the UMvC3 roster if they made it in:
- Viewtiful Joe with a partner who sets up his bombs/tracking Voomerangs
- Gold Hsien-Ko with the shame cube
- Wesker would actually be really tame in this game since OTGs are more universal and you can just tag in higher damage characters from characters with better neutral
- Phoenix Wright as a ghetto Ultron lol
- TAG CANCELED MOLECULAR SHIELD HNNNG
- Sentinel in a game where you can mitigate long start up attacks by tagging off a long-animation move
- Magneto with literally any Infinity Storm (idk what’s more broken on him: no pushblock, shame cube, or using the Mind Storm to do 3 level 3 hypers in a combo)
- Iron Fist not being completely ass after a few common-sense buffs from UMvC3
- BONUS: MvC2 Cable/Spiral in this game would be insane
I now have the mental image of Phoenix calling a bunch of Mayas and they all start shooting beams. If Phoenix gets in this game I now know what I would want out of model swapping.
Wouldn’t gold pushblock work against Spiral though?
