Marvel:
Thanos
Galacta
Loki
Clea[S][/S]
Uncle Ben(I got nothin’ after the first 4 that wasn’t already screamed at the top of longs)
Capcom:
Regina from Dino Crisis(seriously, only one other person wanted her?)
Asura
Lucia from DMC2(THAT’S RIGHT, I SAID IT)
[S]Monster Hunter rep[/S] GENE FROM GODHAND
Fiona Belli & Hewie from Haunting Ground(complete with alternate outfits)
I don’t read comics, so I was just trying to get some decent choices. Galacta is female/Galactus for online, Umar is online/banging Strange.
Emma Frost:
For the love of God, I do not know how she isn’t already in this game. She is far and away one of the more interesting (AND RELEVANT!) characters in the X-Men universe**. **An install super ala Complete Change Ryu from MvC1 but for her diamond form, would suit her perfectly…or perhaps like Ryu’s denjin buff—but–you know, less shitty.
Cyclops:
Meh–the reasons seem obvious to me.
Nightcrawler:
Only relevant in X-Force, but the possibilities are too cool to ignore.
Juggernaut:
Pure nostalgia pick.
Thanos
Ditto.
Capcom:
Jin Saotome Ken
** M. Bison** Dudley! Captain Commando
Marvel:
Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers/formerly Ms. Marvel)
Psylocke (X-men)
Cyclops (X-men)
Star Lord (Guardians of the Galaxy)
Blink (Clarice Ferguson/Leader of the first Exiles team)
Capcom:
Gene the Godhand
Lt. Linn Kurosawa
Classic Megaman
Asura
Breath of Fire Ryu
Marvel
A - Gambit
B - Shanna the She-Devil
C - Black Cat
D - Loki
E - Scarlet Witch
Capcom
A - Oda Nobunaga (Sengoku Basara - I know you said historical figures, specifically Nobunaga, are void… but this version of Nobunaga has more than enough flair to be Capcom’s property.)
B - Tessa/Tabasa (Red Earth/Warzard)
C - Jedah Domah (Vampire Savior)
D - Date Masamune (Sengoku Basara)
E - B.B. Hood/Bulleta (Vampire Savior)
REALLY hope they add some more females to this sausage fest, especially on the Marvel roster. Meanwhile, the Capcom side could sure use some more villains.
marvel:
star-lord - not sure how he’d work to be massively different from any keepaway character atm. morrigan kinda makes them lame and weak in comparison because her lockdown is so safe + strong.
cyclops - it’s cyclops. he is a strong all-rounder with a great assist, command grab, and strong normals.
ms. marvel - flight enabled rushdown char similar to nova? more powerful projectile options but no ridiculous dolphin flip H?
luke cage - mobile bruiser type. think hulk with a strong wavedash and lots of armor but less strong normals/no gamma charge type pressure. possible ‘haggar’ grappler type with less dominant normals but armored normals (not slow! not slow normals!) and specials?
polaris - honestly this is just a fanwank option. i think polaris is cool design-wise and green projectiles/attacks are really cool
capcom:
savan + his party from dragon’s dogma - all rounder char, i want this dude to be fucking nuts. sword normals + party moves for specials and supers. must have an install super that lets him teleport and throw really really strong projectiles. must have capcom assist featuring party member using lightning spell.
asura from asura’s wrath - basically wolverine. but with punching. and flight. and a beam super. and machinegun projectiles. man i don’t even know where to begin with this guy his powers are fucking insane
ptx-40a OR lost planet 2 grunt - either robot char that is actually good, or sustained gunfire keepaway char using grapples and invin command rolls.
gene from godhand - idk. fan favorite.
jean reno from onimusha 3 - IT’S JEAN RENO also whip normals, grapple mechanic, blah blah it’s jean reno
there, large cast of chars from different games and series that all have a basis for either being popular or infamous who are all cool and could possibly bring unique playstyles
You are forgetting your Marvel votes Smashing XD
I know you can think of something (or just copy paste someone else’s ;p )
You can, but please inform me via pm or something, once I registered people’s votes in my spreadsheet file (which I’ve done for most of page 1) I don’t recheck for changes in the votes I already processed (I try to keep up semi daily, otherwise in the end, it’s too much work all at once)
