Well, but Avengers 3 they'll have a ton of variety so I'm not completely against that. Though we might lose some of the odder characters like MODOK and and She Hulk.

That is true.

It was a pretty good roster and I enjoyed some of the "weird picks" like Volnutt, Kaijin no Soki and Saki Omokane, but I wouldn't say it was almost perfect. I think the TvC roster +
Capcom side: Amaterasu, Phoenix Wright, Jill Valentine, Tron Bonne, Dante, B.B Hood,
a Monster Hunter
Tatsunoko side: Samurai Pizza Cats, Shurato, perhaps Casshern Sins' Casshern and... I really don't know a lot about Tatsunoko works
Would be amazing.
Niitsuma tried to get a Monster Hunter character in UMvC3, the dev team refused.
Also, Quake for MvC4

I heard that story. Did the team justify why they didn't want a Monster Hunter in MvC?
Capcom is weird.
The team didn't want a Hunter to be represented by one moveset because of how diverse they can be.

It really holds a special place in all of our hearts, and I hope one day this is recognized. RIP to your friend.
Thanks for your condolences, it's pretty much why I feel so passionately about the MvC series specifically of any Vs. game, or any game period (even more than Smash). MvC1 was one of my first arcade games (& games period) that I ever played as a child, & introduced me to my love of Marvel & Capcom. While I wouldn't mind a Marvel Super Heroes 2 made by Capcom or a Capcom All-Stars game, it'd feel like something is missing without both sides clashing in battle.

That......actually might be a good idea.
One of the most awesome moments in fighting game history for sure!
My hype went through the motherfucking roof when it happened.
I guess this is why Capcom wanted Combofiend as Seth Killian's successor. I wouldn't be surprised if he championed MvC4 in the somewhat distant future.

The Hunter could have represented a lot of different weapons, though. They would only need to be creative with her/his moveset. Oh well...
I am sorry to hear that. :| I hope your friend found peace or whatever he was looking for.
Marvel's out for blood for the F4, so I'm not sure about Doom. It's sad that his removal is even possible.Don't even joke, I would be so pissed if Dr. Doom wasn't playable in MvC4.
They can't legally mention it since the contract expired.
That's why I was pissed at the MH developers for not letting it happen.
Also, another discrimination against the mutants on Marvel's part occurred, but it's spoilers for the Axis story arc.

What was it? I am curious and I don't mind spoilers.
Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch are no longer Magneto's children, nor are they mutants.
I would be pretty content with a just a patch my dude. The game's engine is good enough for 10/20 years if they tweak it a bit and remove the dumb stuff.
Capcom legally can't touch UMvC3 unless they make another contract.

Wait, are you saying they were planned to be in UMvC3?
No, I heard murmurs that Black Widow was planned, but I couldn't find any links to back up the claims I heard.
Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch, it's more of what could happen with a potential MvC4 later down the road, since the twins' ties to the mutants has since been severed.
I thought Gene and Black Panther/Vision were next on the "list" for inclusion?
Dr. Doom is too huge for removal. Super Skrull might've been up for removal though. At any rate, I guarantee X-23 would go. She was being pushed by Marvel at the time and her announcement coincided with issue 1 of her new series. Not anymore.

Who do we talk to to get the #UMvC3forPS4 movement off the ground?
I can lead the following, but I'd need a bigger name to back me up on this one. And it'd have to be directed to Sony so they can foot the licensing bill.
In other news, that Injustice knock-off just came out.
I've been religiously tweeting Ono everyday about the future of the versus series.
And I will join you as soon as I log back onto Twitter.

I was at that tournament and thought it was kinda lame (but funny).
Basic and sloppy play that looks even sloppier with nearly 4 years of hindsight.
Hey guys, check this out:

It was to dispel a common misconception. Many assumed that (U)MvC3, MvC2, & soon MvC Origins were pulled because Marvel terminated the contract with Capcom like they did with Activision (who once held the X-Men & non-movie Spider-Man rights, & they still hold the movie Spidey rights). In reality, Origins proved that Capcom simply chose not to pay the funds to maintain the contract & keep the games available (Origins & MvC2 were digital downloads, hence why MvC2 went down when the MvC3 games did & why Origins didn't go down until next week). If Capcom had more money to burn, maybe the MvC games would still be up & Origins wouldn't be going down soon, but given their position (barely making a profit), they have to choose their investments carefully. Activision lost their contract because Marvel terminated the contract due to the quality of the games not being at where Marvel wanted them to be at.
We need an ULTIMATE: MVC collection. Think of it like "The Orange Box" except it comes with every MVC title playable on PS4/PC with cross play.
With the Activision purge already come & gone, including Children of the Atom & XvSF won't be a problem. The issue is Capcom getting the funds to get another contract with Marvel going. As stated before, both sides want more MvC, it's money that's the problem
unless Sony foots the bill

I just noticed that people are sharing a lot of rumors, but most of them were false if I recalled correctly.
From top of my head, I recalled those information that are more likely to be true.

- Gene and Mega Man X almost made to final step on roster planning phase
- Monster Hunter character were denied to be in MVC3 or UMVC3 by Monster Hunter creators
This part is true for certain. I think the first one is true as well, but I'm not 110% sure.

damn..i bought it on sunday on XBL couldn't afford to let this historic gem go away. Now my MvC collection is complete.

I think it's because I remember someone mentioned it in interview. To be honest, I hope that Marvel Vs. Capcom 4 would be like Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 in a retrospect of porting all characters from the game and add more characters there. I don't like to see characters being cut from Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 to Marvel Vs. Capcom 4. I can see that it's unlikely to happens tho.
No cut characters will be impossible on the Marvel side at least (Capcom will most likely bring as many of the UMvC3 Capcom cast back as possible if MvC4 is a thing). Expect most of the cuts to be from the X-Men & the Fantastic Four franchises. The likes of Wolverine & Deadpool will likely be safe (& maybe Dr. Doom), the same can't be said for the rest. Basically you can say good-bye to Sentinel, Storm, X-23, Jean Grey/Phoenix, maybe Magneto, & Super-Skrull. Likewise, unless Shuma is a villain in one of the Doctor Strange movies in the future, don't expect him to come back (Capcom had to beg for Shuma, & Marvel only allowed Shuma as DLC). This isn't even mentioning the potential split on which Nova to use (Richard Rider, the UMvC3 veteran, or Sam Alexander, Kid Nova).
Same, except on PSN. Now my MvC collection is complete as far as PS3 games go.

That's what I'm afraid of.
Sadly this will be a reality, Marvel licensing is different than back in the 90's.

They weren't so big back then but now heh micromanaging every single aspect.

It's simple. They could went with Capcom All Stars but for some reason, they haven't really working on it.
I guess they are afraid that it mightn't sell.
