If Capcom vs Knack had Phoenix Wright (or literally anything on the Capcom side other than Spencer, nemesis, and 2gng characters) I'd buy it over MVCI in a damn heartbeat. At this point I'd take it over Ryce's roster. Knack certainly has more interesting moveset potential than Gamora and Captain Marvel

Has the same Morrigan sprite. There's some validity to this.Who needs MVCI when this here bad boy just got leaked?
Yeah, the MCU is the most recent case of "die a hero or live long enough to become a villain"... I'm not big on the more traditional films in the universe, but I respect that people like them. Where I take exception is it bleeding into things where it doesn't need to, like a fighting game. The fact nobody seems excited about the choices, and it ranges from outrage to begrudging acceptance, tells you that Disney needs to cool it. They killed their own gaming company, and now they somehow think they can tell Capcom what's up... It's frustrating.

More interesting moveset than gamora or captain marvel? I'm going to call bullshit on this one, if you read comics you already know about all of the bs they could do with carol. She could turn out to be this games phoenix but I doubt they go that far.
Edited to add,
She could get an energy absorption mechanic that unlocks a temporary binary mode. As an example.

Which Ant-Man do you guys think is the one in the game? It's probably going to be Scott Lang because MCU but LEGO Marvel 2 is featuring Hank Pym in a huge role. Plus Ultron is the main Marvel villain, so...
I don't remember, do we know the identity of the Ant-Man from UMvC3?

True in my case. I see no problem though
Wait, Max is a 90s kid?!
I really wish they did more with her
Such an amazing character and I would hope they'll bring her back if they're gonna do fan favorites.Capcom vs Knack? lmao nice
Lang's been Marvel's primary Ant-Man for a long time, even before the movie. Plus, the LEGO game there has Pym as Giant-Man (with his Goliath costume for some reason), not Ant-Man, so I don't think that supports Pym being Ant-Man here much. He'll probably be an alt.

True. The FB game and Future Fight have Pym as Giant-Man too. Hopefully's he's mentioned in dialogue or something, but yeah an alt seems the best bet.

Cammy recently received a color for one of her costumes that reference Psylocke, it's something...True in my case. I see no problem though

Yea that and the Cyclops costume were nice to see. Better than nothing at least.

Aside from gameplay that we're obviously going to get, I'm hoping Capcom unveils some official promotional artwork for this game. I'm tired of that stale image of Carol, Tony, X, and Ryu already. We know actual artwork...preferably from Shinkiro.
Come on, Capcom.
Come on, Capcom.

Psylocke has been one of the top requested female characters, the last thing we have to lose is hope.
I wouldn't be surprised if they let us down on that front too...

I can't really think of a reason why Spencer shouldn't return. He was pretty popular, has a pretty unique moveset, and that arm is iconic.
Doctrine Dark
Member
I feel like that reasoning could apply to many characters from MVC3.
Some would even make more sense (Zero to complete the X theme, for example) when looking at the game as a whole.
I don't dislike Spencer. He's just a "whatever" character to me.

Spencer was never popular and this is coming from a Bionic Commando fan.

Spencer has a fun moveset but I'd prefer other characters before him.

I don't really think there's any problem with Spencer coming back. He's the only thing representing Bionic Commando, and its not a weird issue like GnG getting two reps.

Still say a lot of issues would be prevented if people had new costumes/looks. When a character is looking different, that helps a lot and i'm not just saying the artstyle.

He has every rights to return if both Arthur and Fireband comes back.
but fuck capcom for putting Chris and Nemesis instead of Leon and Wesker

Spencer is a remnant of a time when Capcom's crazy signature concepts were at an apex. A hot shot commando with an extendable robo arm tasked with battling the forces of Hitler and his flying fortress of death. You don't get more peak "Capcom" than that. Granted much of that cheesy 90s anachronism is lost upon the modern redesign but it's the symbolic nature of it that counts. Also helps that he has one of the most fun base toolkits out of any characters in the game.
I never expected him to be in MvC3 for the obvious reasons of the franchise revival being a commercial and critical failure (even if I legitimately think of it as a diamond in the rough) so when he was included I was fist pumping. That was one of my most hyped inclusions of any fighting game. Similarly I wouldn't expect him to return here if it weren't for Combofiend being on the project but it makes perfect sense for him to be in as a part of Capcom's history, because he's a character from a franchise that had no reason disappearing into the ether after the NES in the first place.

Don't understand Capcom's love for this character. He was in TvC, MvC3 and now MvCI.
HE SUCKS.

Haven't played DR, so I don't know much about the character.
He appeared in PxZ too, must be popular enough.

Frank West and Spencer deserve a spot on every vs roster from now until the end of human existence. Both are incredibly unique gameplay wise and rep unique franchises.
If you are going by unique gameplay, then the likes of PW deserve a spot too. But it's not like that for Capcom. I guarantee you the only reason they keep including him in these crossovers is because they think the west have this huge affinity for the DR franchise.

ppl like zombies tho
Good think they have this little franchise called Resident Evil (they still choose the worst characters like Chris and Nemesis lul)
How about Jill, Leon, Wesker, or Jake?

You can't trash Frank West and then say that Jake from RE6 should be in MvC:I lmao. Who's next , the helicopter from Resident Evil 1 ??
No one asked for Nemesis, that's the real issue in the casting regarding the RE characters. Frank West is an amazing character, with a great gameplay.
Btw i'm really curious to see if they're going to keep the whole level up system for him.

Jake would be a better inclusion than Leon just due to his Kung Fu alone

I am fine with Frank (same with all the characters in the game so far), I am just confused about their character picks for the base roster at launch. FW is so tired at this point, we outta be getting better character picks this early on in the game's life.
Smooth Operator
Member
I understand your point of view. At the end of the day, i feel like the issue isn't only FW, but the whole process of Capcom's picks for the base roster, especially when you only have 14 slots to fill on the Capcom side. But i feel like every other character wanted for the game will be in DLC :/
More like they desperately want the west to have this huge affinity for Dead Rising. It's not like they've had any other decently successful IPs from that era (well, that and Dragon's Dogma I guess) and they really want some more series to take off, so they gotta push the narrative that DR is this huge, integral part of Capcom.

But Chun can already show you her Kung Fu
It's one of only six Capcom IPs to have cracked the 10 million sales mark, so it sort of is.
There you go again, making sense with rational conclusions based on actual evidence. Don't you realize that every Capcom character should be from muh Resident Evil????
I'm not entirely sure it is anymore after seeing how badly Capcom bungled DR4, but I get your point. Frank is certainly more deserving than a lot of the cast, like Firebrand or Spencer.

Fuck it. Let's get a plane as a playable character in MvC.
Someone asked that to Seth Killian pre-Umvc3. He gave a positive answer iirc.
