>Marvel and Capcom characters will duke it out in a new crossover fighting game coming to consoles next year. Multiple sources tell Polygon that Marvel vs. Capcom 4 is currently in development and slated for release sometime in 2017.
>Capcom will unveil Marvel vs. Capcom 4 this week alongside Sony’s PlayStation Experience event, we’ve been told, where the Capcom Cup 2016 Street Fighter 5 tournament will be held.
>Fans of the series should expect Marvel vs. Capcom 4's roster of Marvel characters to draw strongly from the cinematic universe that Marvel Studios has popularized — and has full control over — during the past decade. That means fighting game fans will more likely see characters plucked from The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy films, and not from properties like the X-Men. Expect to see superheroes like Ant-Man and Groot make appearances, with characters of mutant origin — think Wolverine and Magneto — sitting out this entry.

The Capcom side will most likely be lackluster as well.
Dominic King
Rev up the replacements
>Doom - Ultron >Wolverine - Black Panther
Isaac Gonzalez
>Storm - Wanda
By the way, they most likely will have their MCU looks too.

Carson Garcia
I got the chance to play the Shuma/Amaterasu/Thor dream team I dreamed of for years in Marvel 3. My hype for a new one is pretty low, especially considering the Capcom imbalanced UMVC3 on purpose.
Also the fact that they'll push marketing for character slots instead of trawling the archives makes me depressed.
I think you missed the memo where it said that it would be filled with MCU characters, no X-Men or F4.
Nicholas Young

I wouldn't believe any comments on the roster until it starts getting revealed. There's definitely going to be an MCU focus, but I doubt we're going to lose people like Wolverine and Deadpool (at least not the latter, that'd be throwing money away).
That said, MAKE THEM DREAM ROSTERS NOW, BOYSSSSSSS
David Wood
But X-men is iconic and the MCU doesn't have enough characters.
Isaiah Green
There's a lot of speculation being touted as fact in that article.
Parker Wood
>Wanda replaces Jean >Carol replaces Storm >Natasha replaces X-23
Josiah Campbell
>MCU advertising will shit up the roster again
yay
Christopher Lewis
Deadpool - Gwenpool Phoenix - Loki Sentinel - Hulkbuster Iron Man Super-Skrull - No idea
Nathaniel Walker
...
Adrian Campbell
Tell that to Marvel who have total control over the Marvel roster for the game.
Robert Hughes
>Super-Skrull - No idea Kamala
Christopher Jenkins
This. Wolverine, Deadpool, Magneto, and Storm are probably safe...the rest maybe not so much.
If Capcom got Shuma into MvC3, they can get those guys in.
Wyatt Scott
Doesn't he use Torch/Susan/Thing powers too?
Luis Lewis
>yfw Marvel will probably force more Inhumans wank.
Parker Martinez
We never said "straight replacements", just replacements. And the roster from 3 wasn't that great anyway. 2 was still the best in that regard and had the best Marvel character design too
Jackson White
it'll probably draw more from MCU anyway regardless of whether the x-men are featured or not. marvel will promote their current brand.
expect black widow, black panther and loki at the very least. rocket and strange as starters this time around.
Adrian Lewis
She'll be Super-Skrull with out the fire/rock/invisible powers.
Jace Thompson
>playable Rathalos
Anthony Barnes
Back then Marvel didn't really give that much of a fuck about it. Capcom was basically "hey can we add this and this character" and they just nodded it off.
Damn I didn't cosider this at all.
Angel Reyes
What you don't like Kamala?
Isaac Evans
Black Bolt, Kamala, that big ass dog, and Karnak could be cool.
Jack Wilson
I wouldn't mind if I didn't know already that the roster will be fucking small. They could pretty much fill the last game's Marvel roster with MCU characters alone.
Christopher Nelson
What games does Capcom even have that they can put in? I can't think of anything memorable and recent that isn't more Street Fight Shit
Camden Anderson
>Black Bolt Now you're being optimistic here. It'll probably be Medusa.
Asher Thompson
I don't even care about the roster switch. Swapping to MCU characters will (hopefully) mean actual new characters instead of just new versions of the same old characters I've been playing since ps1. who am I kidding? they'll be clones of the characters that got omitted
More importantly, will it have a proper control scheme (MVS, Alpha, CVS) instead of the kid-mode 3 attack buttons of MVC3?
Tyler Harris
They can just play it like they did last time. Phoenix Wright, Devil May Cry, Resident Evil. You know the more modern ones. I won't expect Zero this time around though, Capcom clearly wants the brand to be dead now. Monster Hunter would be cool.
Daniel Ross
>trusting capcom after SFV Even mvc3's shitshow wasn't as bad as SFV despite doing stupid shit like shuma/jill dlc and making it casual as fuck with a dedicated launcher button
Matthew Myers
Post character wishlists and shit
Elijah Thompson
>More importantly, will it have a proper control scheme (MVS, Alpha, CVS) instead of the kid-mode 3 attack buttons of MVC3? HahahahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHANo
Ethan Brown
>Based on the MCU
The dream is dead. Fuck the MCU.
Landon Mitchell
>Wolverine and Magneto sitting this one out You better have fucking Doom
Ryan Perez
I honestly take based on the MCU than based on NuMarvel Imagine it being filled with Bendis' creations.
Jordan Sullivan
They will dumb it down even further because for the people who watched the movies but never played the games
Eli Hughes
He'll be a DLC skin for Iron Man
James Cook
One of the rumors is that they are returning to 2 vs 2. Believe it.
Jaxon Watson
F4 are in the same basket as the X-Men.
Nathaniel Taylor
...
Nicholas Lopez

Ethan Cox
>Implying Capcom would touch nuMarvel.
They'd probably heavily be using 80s and 90s characters.
Elijah Wood
If they keep the Inhumans to just Black Bolt and Ms. Marvel, I'd be okay with that.
Aiden Carter
why do you retards keep this shit up
Alexander Davis
MCU is pretty sucky man. Regardless, even if it wasn't shit, the more obscure characters would be cool to see in a fighting game.
Jack Brown
Doubt it.
>Rathalos and Kirin female/ Rathalos male hunters heavily requested for MvC3
>Monster hunter team says no
William Fisher
What shit? Bashing nuMarvel or commenting on 80s and 90s Marvel?
Evan Johnson
They will put beck and fatty megaman instead
Cooper Allen
>Capcom uses Kamala >Do no research and basically make her a bubblier girl Dhalsim Make it happen
Joseph Miller
>tfw you just remembered Dormammu is in the MCU
Charles James
nice opinion
>nu epic meme
Jace Rivera

Nathan Russell

Justin Long
a spiderman game is being made
Julian Nguyen
Can't wait
Eli King
>Capcom is the shittest it's ever been >Marvel is shittests it's ever been >Xmen and F4 gutted for MCU and Inshitmans
Everything is terrible.
Ethan Perez
Why would we lose non MCU characters now? MvC3 came out just fine in the midst of the character property wind down.
Samuel Lopez
ok so
Jason Kelly
Sorry they want femwesker instead of qt beret jill
Blake Lopez
>nice opinion
When all your movies have the same plot, pacing, and feel, then your movies suck. Also, you're lying to yourself if you think the nuMarvel characters are good.
Jaxon White
Marvel has the final say on the Marvel roster
Ian Sanders
>my opinion is fact
hahaha
Ethan Stewart
>marvel isn't trying to sink the X-Men guys
Alexander Ward
They've had a good seven games run, that's enough. Give me some new characters.
Evan Sanchez
Fuck, man, you're really bumming me out right now....
Hudson White
they can still use the x-men
you sound fucking stupid and you keep saying nuMarvel what the fuck does that even mean
Jace Rodriguez
As long as they actually use his comic look and not the movie one I'm game.
Well they gave Laura a different personality too
Connor Butler
I supported my statement. The fact that you refuse to adress it just proves that I'm right.
Evan Morales
Guess Deadpool's sitting out of this one as well since Fox won't be giving him back anytime soon either. Good, Gwenpool can take his place
Ryan Cruz
Devs on MvC3 were pushing really hard to bring back pretty much every character from MvC2 but Marvel nixed it and demanded new characters.
Their motives are reprehensible, but ultimately it was a good thing.
Charles James
I thought Fox traded the FF rights back in exchange for merchandising rights for X-related characters. What happened to that?
John Flores
>they can still use the x-men >implying the Mouse will allow that
Ian Walker
>yfw he comes back as a floating head
Parker Cox
>back then Marvel didn't really give that much of a fuck about it. Capcom was basically "hey can we add this and this character" and they just nodded it off.
Actually if you were following back then they were extremely hands-on with MvC3, hence why Cyclops didn't return. Capcom had to beg to get Shuma in, Marvel saw it as a wasted slot.
Caleb Gray
>Nu
>New.
It's not that hard to figure out where that comes from.
Nicholas Fisher
Deadpool is such a draw for the demographic they want to hit with these games that I doubt they'll skip on him.
Jeremiah Martin
It was still a shitty thing to do. Especially since the roster all in all was smaller until Ultimate.
Nicholas Wright
Fuck the Mouse he can suck my dick
Nathaniel Hill
It never happened and was just a rumour that you bought into.
Leo Cox
It's temporary not permanent >MAKE ME USE X FOR THIS MOVIE >FINE BUT I'LL USE Y FOR OUR MOVIE >K
Tyler Foster
To be fair Medusa would be far more interesting as a fighting game character. She'd probably call BB in for her level 3 anyway.
Jaxson Allen
those are the movie rights they cant ues
are you fucking stupid
Owen Jackson
Explains why he was DLC
Yet I doubt we'll be getting any X character that Marvel don't want to market. So maybe we'll get Storm. I can also see them putting X-23 in as the new Wolverine, since they want to push that angle and to take a piss at Fox for Logan.
Parker Stewart
>And the roster from 3 wasn't that great anyway. 2 was still the best in that regard You mean a roster that was MUGEN before MUGEN was a thing, just cut-and-pasting every character from a past VS. game without accounting for gameplay balance?
Gavin Evans
Won't be getting Storm because she overlaps too much with Rashid.
Sebastian Turner
Japs loves shuma to the point that dormammu x shuma art became a thing during mvc3's peak
Cooper Anderson
You're the one getting autistic over nu.
Nathan Allen
>RE2 remake soon
Finally time for my boy Leon S. Kennedy to shine
Camden Cox
Fucking what? Post pics or its not real.
Luis White
Please let Domino be in it.
Luke Phillips
So like any Capcom vs. SNK?
Henry Baker
so you think thay will get rid of storm him get the fuck out of here
no you retards keep saying thay will use new characters what characters are you so spooked they will put in that were not already in the games
Gabriel Allen
>Keeping the Delusion Meme >Quoting Polygon
CAPCOM JUST FUCKING SAID THAT THERE ARE NO FIGHTING GAMES COMING OFF UNTIL 2020!
Just because some faggot was "wouldn't be nice if this was a thing!?" does not mean JACK FUCKING SHIT
Ethan Roberts
Games with tons of original sprites made just for them? No, not at all.
John Hill
Knowing Capcom, they'll still put Wolverine in to maintain their perfect attendance record with him, and Marvel likely wouldn't be against one or two mutants as a token gesture to the X-fans.
