Since Thanos is a very safe bet for this roster, what would be a good Capcom equivalent? I keep picturing villains like M. Bison and Dr. Wily and can’t help but think they don’t come close enough to match him. Pyron? He strikes me as more of a Dormammu counterpart (not just because of the flames). Is there some Capcom badass I’m missing?
I think all you are missing is Bilstein, Scion and Grandmaster Meioh.
But there really isn’t an equivalent for Thanos from Capcom. He is a titan which is seven times smarter than Dr. Doom, which in turn is considered an absolute genius.
True. Asura’s Wrath seems like a likely series to see some representation, but I don’t know if anyone besides Asura himself would make it. I do want to see a playable Sigma this game, but idk about Ultron…like, what will he do that sets him apart? (robot minions? I feel like someone else would fit that role better) I’m alright with having the roster promote the MCU and everything, but not every recently-featured movie character should make it.
I’m not going to lie. Between UMVC3 and the MCU (Including Netflix) I’ve developed an interest and strong desire to learn about more Marvel Characters. I didn’t care much for marvel, outside of the superficial spiderman, wolverine, venom etc… Before MVC3 came out, then the movies furthered my interest in all things marvel. I say this because I can’t think of too many Marvel side characters I want in this game, except for the return of popular X-Men characters.
Marvel:
(I’d like the return of most characters such as Rocket, Strange, Ironfist, Ghostrider and the main Avengers)
Black Panther
Black Widow
Bucky Barnes
Spider-Gwen
Luke Cage
Daredevil
Ant Man (This one could be weird, as far as game play goes, have no idea how this could work)
Star Lord
Groot (New Sentinel, just without flight? Maybe more like a Marvel Nemesis)
Gwenpoole
Gamora
Falcon
Warmachine
Carnage, or the guy who ripped him in half… I forget his name but hes like a schizophrenic Superman, Sentry?
Capcom:
Juri or Rashid or NASH, (Probably the best option)!!!
Zero
Strider Hiryu
Sigma or Bass/Bass.exe
Vile/Vava
jin Saotome
Captain Commando
Hayato Kanzaki
Arthur
Firebrand
Phoenix Wright
Viewtiful Joe
Dante
Vergil
Trish or Lady
Jedah
(Rival Schools Rep, Batsu?)
I know Capcom for sure wants to promote their current, on-going, licenses…
But I swear if they do with Monster Hunter what Nintendo did with the latest Smash games, shoving all those stupid Fire Emblem characters up to our throats, I’m going to be really pissed off.
To me, the part of Capcom on Marvel vs Capcom games should be composed of classic characters, not whatever they’re trying to push forward as a marketing machine. A little of the latter is OK, but if there are more than 2 Monster Hunter characters and/or more than 1 stage, that’s going to be hugely enraging.
OK, let’s get serious, if the initial roster is 24 characters, I would be sure Marvel would put all the characters that lead a movie. That would be:
[list=1]
[] **Iron Man
**[] Captain America
[] Thor (Loki? They could have some villains to be more balanced)
[] Spider-Man
[] Doctor Strange
[] Ant-Man (Wasp? More female representation)
[] Black Panther
[] Captain Marvel
[] Star-Lord
[/list]
For the missing 3 spaces, I would say:
[list]
[]**Hulk **and Black Widow (they need more females and they’re mainstays in the Avengers movies. Hawkeye could be saved for DLC because who likes Hawkeye).
[] Probably Thanos, since we need more villains and he will be the focus of the next Avengers movie.
[] There’s a chance Ant-Man/Wasp could be saved for DLC/updates since their movie’s still a little further away, they could use that space to put Ultron, so there will be more villains and Age of Ultron is still fresh in our minds.[/list]
9 heroes of their film properties and the main villains for the 3 Avengers movies, I think that would be a deal, specially since they said they’ll focus more on their MCU representation.
They been doing that in fromTVC to UMVC3 but it looks like they didn’t want to add huge characters like they did with Gold Lightan before in TVCU?
Yeah, Since it’s movie promotion so more likely it’s Gamora? they may not prioritize Netflix for being mature audiences centered?
Asgard’s Destroyer and Groot? Vision? Nova? Rocket Racoon?Thanos? Taskmaster?
Racoon and Groot is famous in their movie counterpart. Vision - because of Ultron and movies. Nova - because of possible future movie and appearance in the Guardian o Galaxy. plus the Spider-man Rivalry in the cartoons. Asgard’s Destroyer - upcoming Thor Ragnarok movie. Taskmaster - Rival of Spider-man and enemy of avengers in the cartoons. Thanos - and because of GEMS.
Probable 3 from Fox issues? Doom? Wolverine and Magneto?
There probably more into movie and cartoons promotion.
Mh, do people generally dislike Zero? I’m noticing on more and more of these list we don’t see Zero on the capcom side. I’d imagine he would be mroe likely than a monster hunter, breath of fire, or powerstone rep. I’d imagine more people are calling for cyberbot’s Jin or someone like Captain Commando. Either way, he was one of the top characters in both Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, seeing X in without Zero would be a loss. Similarly, I’d like to see Vergils return with Dante.
I honestly would have been fine with Volnuts inclusion in UMVC3, with a retooled move set. He would have fit well with Tron in MVC3. Seeing MVCi is in development I’d hope they would just do the same for UMVC3 Zero. I’m hoping each series would have at least two to four reps depending on the popularity of the franchise. If a character already exist why not use that one with the addition, in this case zero and x. I’m in the camp for a sigma inclusion but I’d still prefer zero and x before sigma. Regardless I know these are personal wishlist so I’ll settle down.
I don’t care either way about Zero but I see 3 Mega Man reps max and I picked Sigma for a villain and Tron Bonne for a female rep. Vergil is the Capcom character I least want to return.
I hate to say it but I’m beginning to think the rumor of 24 characters at launch is true.
The game being real was true.
2 vs 2 was true.
The game looks super early and they want to get it out in 2017.
They claimed a huge roster, but they also claimed “the heritage was not lost” and fans of all Marvel properties should be satisfied when asked about X-Men and FF. Now there’s a rumor their DLC. So I’m thinking they meant with DLC when they said there would be a huge roster.
Wesker’s voice actor claims he hasn’t been contacted.
