Thinking about it, I think the main reason we didn’t get Joe and Amaterasu was because they couldn’t figure out how to integrate their time altering hypers in a game with the Time Gem.
Clover Studios, the now defunct development team behind Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and God Hand.
Joe and Ammy were most likely cut because 1) they’re not essential to the roster for most people and 2) could cause headaches with their slow supers in a game with free tags. There’s also the issue of them having very stylized looks in a game that takes after the MCU, so they’d be hard to do in these shaders.
I hadn’t even thought of this. How depressing that two characters from some of the most gorgeous games ever made are “too stylized” to fit into this game. :sad:
See, for the flack it gets, those characters were fantastic in MvC3 because of the overlap beteween comic shaders and their native style. In this game, even the off-anime types like the Megaman characters look off. Nemesis manages to look crisp asf because the art style promotes the kind of gritty detail that sells the character.
Bullshit. Another leak that take characters people ask for a lot, like the Regina guy on GAF, and some that people theorize because of some indications, like Goblin being on Spidey’s super and Dante not having Kalina Ann moves.
Hell, I’m probably responsable for Nina and Bleu being there, and I’m surprised Fou-lu isn’t too.
I had you in mind when I saw Nina and Bleu haha, I thought he’s been asking for Nina for months lol. All I want realistically is Starlord, Cyclops and Captain Commando (also Juggernaut but that’s never gonna happen) and I think all can be forgiven roster wise, just seeing their faces on the character select would really bring back the nostalgia while keeping the roster fresh at the same time, having almost the entire GotG cast on board. Current but nostalgic.
Green Goblin is a real contender I think, I can’t imagine they’d theme Spider-Man’s Lv.3 based on him if he didn’t have some relevant involvement with Spider Man in the story. I suppose it could be like Ant Man and Hawkeye, but if come launch Green Goblin isn’t in the background of his hyper I think he’s got a really good chance of making the cut.
I remember seeing somewhere that Capcom plans to release dlc in themed packs for this game. Maybe we’ll get a villains or femme fatale pack in the near future?
