So basically it's a better Street Fighter X Tekken?

At least it sounds like they learned from Street Fighter V's mistakes.

Nope, it's Marvel Super Heroes (THOSE Gems) crossed with Capcom vs SNK 2 (different grooves)

No X-men characters? Not bothering if true unless they have some really strong Capcom character selections to me.

Only MCU trash.
No x-men

Eh... who cares.

Also who had the genius idea of putting Iron Man and Captain Marvel(I know, Disney), B lister heroes against X and Ryu? come on show some respect.

Are you... New... to the vs series or something? O_o

Also I'll never understand this whole "No X-Men, no buy" attitude like Marvel doesn't have great characters outside the X-Men. I mean the "Fox Ban" sucks, no doubt, but there's way more to Marvel than X-Men.

Also, MCU... Trash? Yeah sure, and I bet Cowboy Bebop is a mediocre anime that's poorly dubbed in English in your world, right? Rolling Eyes

Edit: Checking your recent posts, somehow I correctly predicted you bashing Bebop as a "mediocre" anime. Not intentional, but hilarious to me,

Before the movies, sure Iron Man was definitely a B Lister, but the veritable ray of sunshine talks like he's some obscure nobody new the series which is just Laughing

Wait, did I miss something?

Is there a source for the "no x-men" talk outside of a vague apprehension of a potential Disney mandate and that neither of the only two Marvel characters confirmed so far belong to the group?

Lots of vague rumors in the internet. Even some of the "successful" ones.

Only time will tell, for me is too early.

Also today they are going to announce another duo in the noon pst (my night time, as I al rrom Chile) https://mobile.twitter.com/marvelvscapcom/status/805300194069749760

An interview with Game Informer seems to refute the "No X-Men" thing but if we're being realistic I'm not expecting anyone outside of Wolverine and Deadpool.

And maybe Quicksilver. Have it be Avengers Quicksilver but make him act like the Quicksilver from the X-Men films.

Again, Iron Man's big in Japan. So that's why they included him in the game. And they probably want to sell the game to girls in both countries, which is why Ms. Marvel is in there. As for X-Men, I imagine they can't use the movie ones, anyway. Unless Disney wants to pay extra, of course, like they did for Spider-Man.

It might be hard for some people to believe but Iron Man was indeed a b-list hero before the movies.

There's no official confirmation as far as i know, but fans have noticed all the circumstancial evidence points to it. Marvel's complete mishandling and ignorance of X-Men and FantastIc Four, along with their heavy push for their new OC Gwenpool instead of Deadpool to the point she gets representation over Deadpool in events and games. All of them have their movie license with Fox, funnily enough. Hopefully at least Wolverine and Magneto get a spot.

Marvel has mishandled many of their characters. Tony Stark isn't Iron Man yet here he is. Hulk will be in it even though Banner isn't Hulk and if Thor isn't female then that's another inconsistency. If Marvel doesn't update the characters it will show that they have no confidence over their creative choices. Sure, you can say "they're using the MCU characters" but Ms Marvel hasn't even been released yet.
