24 characters is way to low, tried to make a roster and couldn’t fit enough “needed” characters for each side let alone the ones I’d like to see
Hope that is just from the start and there will be more as unlockable
24 playable would be more than cota-mvc1 had. And we know there will be dlc chars. Relax
Not many games give huge rosters anymore and people complained mvc3s 38 character initial roster was too small also. For 2v2 its not a bad start.
Xmen vs SF had 16 dudes. TvC was 2v2 and had small roster start also. Seems you don’t get big roster unless its 3v3
Yeah, I’m really thinking under 30’d go over pretty badly.
I can at least understand why people are getting so up in arms over the game supposedly having 24 characters.
So many fighting games in the past have spoiled us in terms of selectable characters (MKX, DOA5, Smash 4, MvC2, TTT2, KOF XIV, CvS2 etc) that anything less is considered ‘bad’.
I think it’s best we temper our expectations, let things play out and hopefully not get disappointed later down the line.
Just like SFV I imagine they will announce immediate post release dlc to ease people over
Yeah, honestly. DLC will most likely be a HUGE part of this game going forward. I could see a shitload of characters being released over time.
All I really care about at this point is a game with a solid foundation. Everything else will work itself out.
DLC is the way
24 charas is enough for me, if they are done well. Id rather have 24 awesomely designed and animated characters than 50 ok characters. But I gotta admit I’m an mvc1 fanboy (though I don’t like a lot of the dumb things in it)
And hopefully not the ‘on-disk’ kind, though I’m sure Capcom has learned their lesson regarding that.
…Hopefully.
24 sounds like a good number. And we’re passed the point to be complaining about DLC. Free time released characters would be fucking great but doubt Capcom would bother with that…
I don’t want to keep my console on for days to unlock characters. I don’t want to do that ever again.
How man can you really do with Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Black Widowetc. I mean visually speaking they just look like regular people.
I miss the days where everyone can shoot beams out thier asses.
Someone said they will use non xmen characters to cover for xmen. I.e black panter = wolverine. Sentry as magneto etc
I just meant chars as free DLC like how they are doing with Tekken 7 in Arcades right now. Couple chars get released every so often. I think it happened with Skullgirls as well and a few other games I must be forgetting, KI and others. It’s kinda annoying having to buy characters or a season pass to make sure you have all matchups covered but suppose that’s how shit is done nowadays.
PUNISHANE AS CABLE? OMG
THE ULTIMATE MAN VAS THE ULTIMATE MAN
Maybe the initial roster will be something like this
Capcom:
1.Ryu (Street Fighter)
2.Chun Li (Street Fighter)
3.Necalli (Street Fighter)
4.Morigan (Darkstalkers)
5.Dante (Devil May Cry)
6.Chris Redfield (Resident Evil)
7.Wesker (Resident Evil)
8.Nilin (Remember Me)
9.Batsu (Rival Schools)
10.Strider Hiryu (Strider)
11.Asura (Asura’s Wrath)
12.Ingrid (Street Fighter)
Marvel:
1.Iron Man
2.Captain America
3.Thor
4.Spiderman
5.The Hulk
6.Ms Marvel
7.Emma Frost
8.Scarlet Witch
9.Rocket Raccoon
10.Dr Strange
11.Dr Doom
12.Thanos
…is it out yet?
Capcom will probably use the SFV model of having to grind in-game currency to unlock characters. Skull girls offered it’s DLC characters for free for the first three months. You had to pay $5 after that.
24 characters? That actually sounds much easier to predict.

I probably broke a few of the rules a had in my earlier post, but I don’t see picks for a 24 character roster being easy. Obviously, there’s always DLC.
Wonder if there will be original characters like how there were in MvsC2
