Ryce said he heard Chris doesn’t use guns this time around so it’s possible that all the characters coming back aren’t just ported from this 3 to this game.
MODOK is definitely a cool oddball character that I’d like to return. I’d love to see Iron Fist actually be viable this time if they brought him back because he got fucking shafted in UMVC3. Sir. Dormington goes without saying.
Chun: in every Capcom crossover ever
Strider: Marvel icon, people were furious when he wasn’t in vanilla 3, Capcom was never going to repeat that mess
Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye: founding Avengers who are in every modern Marvel game
Rocket: extremely popular, less so than Groot but presumably Groot is making an appearance in his moves. Also Rocket + Groot are particularly popular in Japan
I didn’t say it was confirmed, and neither are any of those 8 characters anyway, but I really don’t see a way Groot isn’t at least in a super unless Capcom is being really lazy. Or if Star Lord has a big Guardians team super I guess?
I don’t see how not using Groot in his moves is “lazy”, especially since Rocket didn’t need him last time. For that matter, why should Groot be just a move for Rocket instead of his own character, that seems lazy. In any case, we don’t know anything either way, besides Rocket being in the game being highly likely.
And the 8 characters aren’t confirmed, but they sure seem likely after everything we saw today.
Because these games are primarily about fanservice, and Rocket and Groot have always been a tight pair. I would’ve liked Groot to appear in a super in MvC3 as well, mind you, but I wasn’t too surprised he didn’t because I was already surprised enough Rocket was even in the game at all.
Likely, sure, but there’s no real need to go ‘groot isn’t confirmed m8’ when nothing in the post was confirmed.
If the game is coming out as early as August-September - then be sure it’s going to be rushed out the door just like SFV and then getting all the promised content throughout 2018
