I don’t understand why Psylocke is so popular. She isn’t THAT popular in the comics. I’m assuming it’s because people want her copy and pasted from her MvC2 counterpart. I’d sort of love it if Capcom trolled and pulled a Jill and rehauled her fighting style. Just to be mean.
Anyways, the characters I’d be okay with seeing are:
Juri, Cammy, Megaman… don’t really care too much about the Capcom side.
Cyclops, Emma Frost, Scarlet Witch, Wiccan (far shot I know), Elektra, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Venom (or Anti-Venom), Ms. Marvel, Rogue, Gambit… heck I’d be okay with Psylocke too.
These wishlists have little to no chances of happening, but I can dig the wishing part. Afterall anticipation sometimes is more exciting than the actual application sadly: Here we go again, list has changed slightly. This is great for procrastination btw, if you’re not familiar with them, look them up:
CAPCOM
Juri
Balrog and…
[details=Spoiler]Garcian Smith -No More Heroes: Killer 7
Although I have nothing against Sheva Alomar, how would she be different in terms of gameplay compared Chris / Jill and the zombie summoning antics of Frank West?
Just curious, maybe you’ve got something in mind that I’m looking over.
You have some awesome choices in there. Definitely down for anybody from Cannon Spike - though I’d prefer Shiba Shintaro, I’d take Simone in a second without any disappointed about Shiba. Definitely agree with Juri also.
As for your Marvel picks, the only one I’d be down for is Gladiator. When I was growing up, he was the only character in Marvel Comics who could just beatdown anybody, anywhere at will. If he didn’t it was because he chose not to. Too sick. I know he has a son that’s a regular in the Wolverine & the X-Men book - which is surprisingly good.
Well in the past few years, they’ve really fleshed out her character and she got a lot of spotlight in the Uncanny X-Force books, which are really popular.
That being said, most people want her cause of T&A and they think she’ll be exactly like her MVC2 counterpart. The more I think about it, I’d want her to be a lot different, because the MvC2 version did nothing with her swords, which are a huge part of her character.
What I had in mind was a more MvC2, Jill/Elena mix type of moveset with another take on zombies. Difference betwee her and frank would be that her summons would be more RE5 subboss types. Like the Axe Majin flailing about, a licker jumping from above, or a Ndesu (with crazy durability points) running across the screen, or some Ouroborou monster grabbing from under ground. Basically creating the ultimate summoner. My idea would call for it to cause friendly fire and stay on screen only momentarily.
That and dat ass. Hah! Frank summons but his gameplay hardly revolves around it. So imagine if you will someone who runs while shooting guns with their own pressure assists (that would do damage to her as well if she’s caught) with a bunch of wall flips.
Yeah I know she’d cluster fuck the screen a bit, but no more than Maya. One monster at a time. Level 1 could be a zombie tribe trample and maybe her level 3 could be random monster calls for 20 seconds.
Did not know Gladiator had a son? I’ll have to check that out. Honestly out of my Marvel choices I mostly would
want Alex Wilder or Emplate. Odd characters that I think could have a very interesting moveset. I just have crazy
gimmicks I’ve dreamed up for those characters. I have pretty original ideas for the others as well but alas…I’ll leave
that stuff in la la land.
Alright, I guess I’ll post my wislist. These are pretty much only going to be from Marvel, since I don’t really play many Capcom games. A CC character might sneak its way in there, though.
Silver Surfer: [details=Spoiler]I don’t believe Capcom’s excuse that they couldn’t make his board work. I can totally see a Surfer moveset revolving around the board’s use; maybe he stands on the board normally and sends it out for some special moves. He might have different stance-like settings depending on where his board is. Even if they can’t, they made Ghost Rider work without his motorcycle, and Silver Surfer doesn’t look all that much like Iceman (silver vs. blue).[/details]
Quasar: [details=Spoiler]The Quantum Bands are a unique weapon that works kind of like Green Lantern’s Power Ring, so imagine him creating an unlimited variation of energy-formed objects, weapons, and effects. They could really do just about anything they want with this guy.[/details]
Nightcrawler: [details=Spoiler]This could be cool. He teleports a ton (probably have at least one special move based on porting instead of just a normal teleport); he’s incredibly acrobatic so has lots of mobility options, which would only be increased by his prehensile tail and wall-clinging hands and feet; and is a master fencer, which is a sword style we don’t have in the game yet.[/details]
Thanos: [details=Spoiler]What can I say? He’s one of my favorite villains and has a great character design that lends itself well to a moveset. He wouldn’t have to be changed much from MVC2. But maybe they could bring the Cosmic Cube into it more somehow. (Actually, I wish Thanos was the main villain instead of Galactus, but I get why they picked him instead since he’s more well-known.)[/details]
Loki: [details=Spoiler]An illusion and deception-based character could be really cool, but hard to pull off. There’s also no spear-wielding character in the game so far, so that would be an interesting moveset as well.[/details]
Hayato:[details=Spoiler]I mained him in MVC2, so naturally I would want him back. Moveset doesn’t need to change; just make him better.[/details]
Cable - He is a missing piece to the roster IMO. Why is that? Well lets take a look at what we have in the roster: 3/5 God tiers of marvel 2, 2 of the god tiers in Marvel 1, God tiers have always been the heart of the MVC’s from 1-2, they were the “talk abouts”. Cable is the missing Marvel god… the missing Metagame icon. This game has allot of good reps from good capcom franchise reps, various marvel team reps, marvel characters who are having a movie coming up, the 3 god tiers who innovated the MVC metagame, and 4/5 of capcom’s most famous figures. Cable just makes this roster a complete MVC roster.
Guile - Greatest theme of all time, an iconic fighting game character, and a character who has unique move sets… well, yeah… we need that theme in this game.
Captain commando - MVC2 nostalgia, Capcom nostalgia. Do not let this awesome classic die capcom! Make the Sentnel nerf axe up by bringing back his bff.
Daredevil and Elektra - These are the only 2 missing flag ship heroes who never made an impact in video games ever. These two make would fulfill Marvel’s flagship line up. I know it’s hard to make a unique concept for these two though.
Cloak - A black guy. The game needs a black guy and i think cloak would be unique. He could be a dual character with dagger.
Megaman - he’s the character people bitched the loudest for so this iconic capcom character should come back to enrich the capcom roster with iconic figures.
If/when we get DLC or the third version of the game I actually think Daredevil is going to be in it. He’s referenced in Taskmaster’s winquote (much like Iron Fist is and then became playable), Iron Fist references him in a win quote (easy intro fight connection), he’s in a stage (much like FireBrand was/is more or less), and he would have made more sense as Iron Fist’s alt than the one they chose but they didn’t do it. Now why is that? Perhaps he’s going to be in the game anyway? I don’t really know how exactly he’d play, but he’d probably be pretty awesome. I don’t remember if he’s a H&H card though.
Given a bunch of my friends have already asked where Mega Man and Cyclops are they seem like the obvious choices. Cyclops is a well-known staple of the Marvel Universe and Mega Man is as Capcom as Ryu, it seems counter-intuitive to release a game with such a vast roster without including an icon. Mega Man worked pretty nicely in TvC as well.
I know it wont happen, but if I could pick a random from each Universe, I’d pick Thing or Juggernaut from Marvel and Zangief or something completely whacky, like a T-Rex from Dino Crisis.
Actually, now I think about it, give us The Human Torch!
Human Torch was going to be Super Skrull (not exactly obviously) but Marvel told Capcom not to for reasons unknown at the time and recommended Skrull to more or less rep F4 as a whole. Connecting the dots/creating a time line shows that this reason was because
[details=Spoiler]
Human Torch was killed off in The Three/Countdown to Casualty during the Summer…now back due to whacky circumstances because well that’s comics[/details]
That’s retcons for you, you can never take anything too seriously when you read a comic. Ah well, it would still be nice to have one of the F4 running around, especially with Doom, Skrull just doesn’t count, we need a hero. I get why you wouldn’t have say, the invisible woman (try balancing that capcom) but a Mr. Fantastic Dhalsim rip-off would be pretty cool. Thing (though I really want him) is kinda ruled out due to the obvious gameplay similarities to The Hulk I guess. Same reason I know Zangief won’t pop up, he’s just too much like Haggar, I guess I’ll need to wait till SxT to play him in another title.
i wonder if cyclops is going to have his st.H be the single eye shot or be his flash kick thing on the ground. i hope megaman has more power ups in this game. im so excited for this!
