What if it's a mobile game?

would be amazing

 

[KrebStar]

No X-Men is terrible, but at least this makes room for Moon Knight.

Spoiler

We're never getting Moon Knight

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

No X-men seems weird considering Lupinko has been blatantly teasing X-men characters.

Maybe they allowing a very small amount? 2-3?

 

[Mr. X]

RIP X-Men
Please spare Dr. Doom

 

[cordy]

X-Men characters being DLC...is a damn brilliant move.

That's the smartest thing they can do with those characters. Keep them out of the game and then when demand builds up, put them in for DLC and at least this way we'll use those DLC characters and it keeps the hype going.

 

[BassForever]

MAHVEL BABY!

 

[notaskwid]

Time for Phoenix

Spoiler

Wright

to shine!

 

[sensui-tomo]

isnt logan's moveset just easily moveable to black panther?
I mean fuck most of the broken shit was due to xmen , aka that team and phoenix. Dr doom not being here also makes sense due to fox.

 

[The_Spaniard]

Ouch, I hope that X-Men characters somehow make it into the Super Mega Hyper Diaper Edition that will without a doubt come out later, or else 2/3rds of my mains will be nixed. I almost always played with a Cyclops/Cable/Iron Man team. Triple Hyper Combo with those three was always GODLY!

 

[FinKL]

POGCHAMP

Wolverine and Magneto will sit out

But what about my "mwahahahah you are defeated" Gravity Squeeze

 

[Calm Mind]

"It's like a good fuck, half is worse than none at all."

MvC4 is half a fuck without the Xmen.

 

[RPGamer92]

I expect the Guardians, Ant-Man, Loki, Black Panther, Quake, Daredevil and Luke Cage to be some of the new characters.

Also Jessica Jones and Captain Marvel. Squirrel Girl as a joke character.

 

[vazel]

X-Men gone, Inhumans in!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

MCU? I guess Spider-man is free of problems?

 

[TRUE ORDER]

Watch them be DLC characters.

It's the only way I see it possible if there's no X-Men at all.

But why would Lupinko make a few teases with the X-Men... just to troll us? Me sad hah

 

[tribal24]

Watch them be DLC characters.

I'm down take my money capcom and marvel this is the perfect game for it!!!!! lets go!!!!

 

[schaft0620]

Movie rights werent an issue in 2011 when mvc3 launched, why would it be now?

Marvel has a lot to gain by those IPs failing so for example Cyclops is dead in the comics, X-Men don't have an animated series anymore. Instead Marvel uses these platforms to build the MCU brand.

 

[Vex_]

MAGNETO

SENTINEL

STORM

No more mango sentinel.

 

[entremet]

Always knew this would happen after The Mouse bought them.

There's no company committed to IP fuckery than Disney.

 

[Ferrio]

Also Jessica Jones and Captain Marvel. Squirrel Girl as a joke character.

Oh I hope they put in Kilgrave. QCF+P "Jessica!"

 

[Eolz]

I'm down take my money capcom and marvel this is the perfect game for it!!!!! lets go!!!!

Probably better to wait for Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 4 in 2018 this time...

 

[Maleko Saint]

Still hoping we'll see Beta Ray Bill in some capacity in 4.

 

[Cipher Peon]

OH SHOOT, I forgot about how much I want DmC Dante. Damn, I want him in SO bad ahhhhhhhhhhh

My excitement for this game just shot up dramatically c:

 

[Skab]

Always knew this would happen after The Mouse bought them.

There's no company committed to IP fuckery than Disney.

Has nothing to do with that though

 

[I-hate-u]

Damn, Sony is on a roll with all those partnerships.

Polygon didn't confirm that btw,

 

[Sigmaah]

I, for one, would like to see what Beef thinks of this.

Same pls!

 

[Jarnet87]

X-Men was already getting phased out of MvC with that poop tier selection in 3.

 

[friskykillface]

RIP fuck the knicks dream team ?
no more wolverine

but
PROTONNNNNNN CANNONNNNNNNNNN hype

lets do this

 

[Menitta]

It's not like the roster for Marvel is gonna be any smaller. They're gonna have new characters.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

gonna make a starlord, that zoe saldana character and groot team

 

[Galactic Specter]

RIP X-Men
Please spare Dr. Doom

Fantastic Four characters are likely in the same boat as the X-Men.

 

[Manmademan]

I expect the Guardians, Ant-Man, Loki, Black Panther, Quake, Daredevil and Luke Cage to be some of the new characters.

There is absolutely ZERO chance that Captain Marvel doesn't show up. They're pushing Carol as hard as humanly possible.

 

[Obliterator]

cinematic trailer gonna look rad as fuck

then people are gonna think its gonna have a cool ass story mode

when its just arcade mode like 3's

I'm not sure that will cut it in fighting games anymore. It seem recent titles in the big fighting games that heavily cut down on single player options (Soul Cal V, SFV) under performed at release. Meanwhile Mortal Kombat has become massive on the strength of its large amount of modes.

If they want to focus on a mostly just online / competitive model then I think they are best served pursuing a KI model instead of a full priced $60 release.

 

[7DollarHagane]

No more mango sentinel.

Probably the most famous marvel video in the universe is all xmen characters.

[spookyfish]

As long as it's a rotoscoped, digitized Robert Downey Jr. I'm in.

 

[notaskwid]

Will probably have a similar business model to SFV I'm imagining.

 

[PadWarrior]

So a chance for black panther??? And vision?

 

[MADGAME]

So the Bish Bounce is a thing we don't know?

 

[Xater]

I don't know if it's actually licensing issues, and more that Marvel just doesn't want to advertise characters Fox owns.

Which could also be applied to them vetoing any attempt to revive MvC3.

There are no licensing issues. Marvel just really doesn't like Fox. Hell Marvel has made the mutants less important in favor of the Inhumans for a while now. Also Fantastic Four are totally irrelevant right now.

 

[BeautifulMemory]

Oh I hope they put in Kilgrave. QCF+P "Jessica!"

Have iron man say to winter solider "you killed my mom"

 

[manzoman96]

No X-Men no buy for me. Not a fan of the MCU focus.

 

[Karish]

I always played as Cap and Spidey anyway!

 

[Surface of Me]

Pls no exclusive.

 

[karma2578]

If like sfv they're using it as a base platform then the door is always open to xmen dlc in the future

 

[Infinite Justice]

No more mango sentinel.

If true then this is the biggest tragedy

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

It's not like the roster for Marvel is gonna be any smaller. They're gonna have new characters.

Yeah, like the fan favorite Inhumans.

 

[chun li's thighs]

Seems like a lot of folks don't know about the beef between the MCU and the X-Men. Basically Marvel does't own the rights to make X-Men movies, having sold those rights to Fox a long time ago. Now that Marvel has become a movie making powerhouse, they want the rights back, but Fox won't give them up. Seeing as how X-Men comic books are free advertising for a rival movie studio, Marvel has been slowing killing off the X-Men (mutants and villains) in the comic books as well as not allowing them to appear in any new video games. The same happened with the Fantastic Four.

 

[KAL2006]

Marvel own Star Wars

If the 2v2 rumour is true

I want a Darth Vader and Darth Sidious team

 

[Lashley]

No sources? I don't trust Polygon.

Also no X-Men or Doom? Sigh.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I just hope the MCU focus means they won't change the designs 3 had for Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Dormammu, etc etc

Movie Hawkeye is a fucking loser
