Elektra and Ant-Man (and The Vision, though we already knew about him from a promo screenshot Ninty accidentally put up early) were basically revealed today via some t-shirts.
So the confirmed playable roster so far is >Ant-Man >Black Panther >Black Widow >Captain America >Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) >Crystal >Daredevil >Deadpool >Doctor Strange >Drax the Destroyer >Elektra >Falcon >Gamora >Hawkeye >Hulk >Iron Fist >Iron Man >Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) >Nightcrawler >Rocket Raccoon w/ Groot >Scarlet Witch >Spider-Man >Spider-Man (Miles Morales) >Spider-Gwen >Star Lord >Storm >Thor >Venom >The Vision >Wasp >Wolverine
Lockjaw and Luke Cage were initially reported to be playable, though Lockjaw is actually the NPC in charge of character switching and Luke Cage hasn't been seen or mentioned at all, so jury's out on whether he's in it or not. Ghost Rider will also likely be in since the Game Informer article last week mentioned "The Midnight Sons" team bonus.
>Are you excited for this, Yea Forums? No, because i can't play as ice man. That was my favorite thing about this series. Now how will i freeze fuckers? What am i supposed to do, just punch shit? That's boring.
Mason Ortiz
Crystal can basically operate as Human Torch and Iceman rolled into one.
Miles and Spider-Gwen are such gigantic wastes of space that it makes me a little angry when I think of all the hundreds of characters who could have been put into characters who could have been skins
Kayden Smith
No. Movie synergy, boring as fuck roster. Where's Moon Knight? Where's the F4? Where are the playable villains?
Parker Collins
DLC.
Xavier Brooks
pass
Aaron Ramirez
>staring everyone to ever headline a Marvel Movie This is not nearly as disappointing as the cancellation of EMH.
>Where are the playable villains? Fuck playable villains. Only edgetards want to play as the badguys and for every baddie that's one less goody. X-men Legends 2 sucked for that. Can't play as Psylocke but make sure to add Toad. Because that's what sells games. Toad.
Jayden Jones
Honestly I don't think anything will ever break my heart as much as that did.
Remember when Beast was likable and charming and quoted Shakespeare while offering advice and friendship. I do.
Ethan Gomez
It's only going to get worse, Marvel fans.
Luke Cox
If Venom is playable, so should Magneto
Liam Garcia
Venom has spent most of his publication history as an anti hero. Magneto is a mass murdering terrorist/racial supremacist.
Brody Butler
One of the best parts of UA was having villains like Doom shit on their own plans and call his other a shitty Doombot or other such interactions
Christopher Harris
Give me Punisher
Logan Green
Beast's a faggot and traitor, leave him to die.
Isaac Powell
I wish the plot was something original and not this infinity stone shit
Hudson Allen
Remember when he and Wonder Man were mega bros
Zachary Cooper
Bitch and moan about the MCU all you want, but thanks to its success we've gotten a fuckton of classic comics reprinted that otherwise wouldn't have.
Jordan Flores
Would trade Gwen for Superior Spiderman(Doc Ock) with the mechanical arms and more relying on gadgets combined with his own Spider moves.
Kayden Young
You're right. This means ephemera that exists to profit off of it are good. Because it made Marvel money. Which if I understand you're point right means the last 2 MvC games didn't feel like ads disguised as cashins at all.
Angel Garcia
We also got a lot of shitty comics as the comic universe tries to bend over backwards to copy the movies. And they used to reprint those comics all the time anyways, so get fucked.
Spiderman (Peter) Spiderman (Miles) SpiderGwen Superior Spiderman (Otto) Scarlet Spider (Revived Ben Riley) Scarlet Spider (Kaine or is he dead again?) Spiderman 2099
Something like that?
Eli Ramirez
I'm so bothered by the pushing of this particular Captain Marvel. I totally get that they want a woman to have a central role but what was wrong with Ms. Marvel? She looked cooler and had an actual arc and problems. Or how about Storm/Skarlet Witch/Black Widow/etc? I just don't get it, the character's only success was her movie which had to piggyback hard on being "essential" for Endgame and coming out between it and Infinity War.
Christian Clark
I mean there's several quntillions of spiders throughout the multiverse.
Nathaniel Morgan
Scarlet Witch wasn't pushed as heavily as she probably otherwise would've because of the Fox lawsuit.
My main problem with the game is the art style. While it looks good, it's a shitload more simple and "clean" than the previous ones so it actually looks like a downgrade instead of an upgrade.
Lucas Powell
I mean they'd hardly have stopped the marketing push in the middle. Though I imagine they'd've taken three or so years to decide whether or not they succeeded in a Roman Reigns Job. Which I imagine they will claim... or is it deny?
Carter Williams
these games were so bad
Jace Williams
Is this an actual sequel? So why is Nick Fury black instead of white?
Austin Carter
So why exactly is this game a Switch exclusive? Seems like the kinda game that would do really well on stronger hardware with a non-fucked online infrastructure.
Leo Green
Someone didn't grow up with comic books and siblings. My sister and I fuckin co-oped the shit out of the first two and the xmen games that came before it. They're almost designed to play with friends. I couldn't imagine going through them solo.
Gavin Gray
Because the switch won't be powerful enough to run the upcoming avengers game
Wyatt Johnson
>Am I excited for the next game in a series that stopped being good after the first Ultimate Alliance >And the current developer has nothing to do with the series before this No.
Eli Wilson
Nintendo paid for its development.
Charles Harris
Its a Bayonetta 2 kind of deal
Benjamin Murphy
i played UA1 with a friend. liking comics doesnt save that repetitive piece of shit.
Anthony Brooks
>playable Nightcrawler and Antman
Now I have to but it.
Still holding up hope for Ghost Rider, but knowing fags here they will scream "movie/tv synergy reeee!"
Daniel Davis
no, looks like fucking shit
Jacob Turner
Ghost Rider was in agents of shield which is in the MCU so he could show up
Dylan Turner
Not Johnny Blaze, the beaner with the car.
Levi Brooks
I like actually like comics may be more to the detriment.
Brandon Moore
The tv shows aren't canon
Zachary Scott
I'm sorry autistic user, but agent's of shield is
Eli Bennett
neat
Nicholas Barnes
I had a lot of fun with the first game, so I wish I was excited, but I just cannot care about capeshit anymore.
Cooper Davis
Johnny Blaze with a Robby Reyes alternate skin could be cool
Probably going to get it because I’ve got fond memories of XL1-2 and MUA1. Still holding out on them actually putting in Cyclops, Ghost Rider, Punisher, F4, Blade and Moon Knight. Honestly F4 as a DLC pack would be acceptable but it’s fucked that they keep getting sidelined.
Jackson Green
>play X-Men Legends 2 every so often just when I feel in the mood for a grindy game >finally pick up Marvel Ultimate Alliance after like ten plus years of owning Legends 2 >it doesn't feel as good for some reason, maybe feels dumbed down >put it down after two hours and haven't wanted to play it since Am I missing out?
Nathaniel Baker
she fucks niggers like spidergwen
Luke Bailey
Not really. The games were good when they focused in on the X-Men and their villains.
Henry Young
Top kek >our show is canon we mentioned Thanos! >season 6 is a one year timeskip that wont mention the Snappening Yeah sure man it is canon
Parker King
I just need cyclops and moon knight. Also, I´d never ask for him under normal circunstances, but since we already have 3 spiderpeople, add miguel ohara already so we can make a full team with spidermen
Jeremiah Richardson
No. Beyond a few tiny glimmers of quality here and there, Marvel Comics have been a complete joke since the mid-'90s. Even earlier if you want to be cynical. MCU synergy? That's nothing on complete hacks like Mark Millar, J Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada being allowed to get a foothold in the industry. Fuck, they got so low at one point that they had Kevin Smith writing stories for them.
Still, not like DC were much better. Any company that employs Brian Azzarello has got fucking problems.
Jace Butler
No Cyclops, no buy.
Tyler Long
UA 1 is pretty good, at least I remember playing it a lot and really enjoying it. The same goes for x-men legends 1. For some reason, XML2 and UA2 didn´t have the same feel for me. Honestly I don´t know why I don´t like XML2, since it´s just a bigger and better game than the first one. Maybe I just don´t like the plot (not an apocalypse fan). Also, I miss marvel heroes
Dominic Jackson
I skip any and all cutscenes so the plot is not what's losing me about UA. XML2 might have a horrible plot and I'd never know even though I've played it for 100+ hours
Austin Hall
Cyclops was DLC in the first one so ...
Cameron Hall
JUGGERNAUT
Logan White
Aw no gambit and no rogue?
Landon Martin
Isn't he a hero these days?
Logan Jackson
>moon knight Boooooring
Charles Campbell
What did they do to him? Stopped reading comics a long time ago and dont watch the movies. Guess if he gets in im just gonna skip story to keep the memory i stored alive
Brayden Fisher
War Machine, Gambit, Winter Soldier
Julian Lee
Like PS4 Spider-Man would run better in a PC, it’s would.
Michael Martinez
Elektra was the one character that I really wanted so this is the best news. Even better that they’re using her classic outfit rather than the Netflix costume, though that will probably be an alternate costume.
Ian Clark
Nah nevermind he's still a villain
Ethan Green
Seriously, does anyone cares about Moon Knight? I see why Marvel wants to put F4 on the fridge for a while.
Mason Nelson
This where is iceman
Carter Russell
At first I thought this was going to be a timed exclusive for Switch and that Marvel was just testing the waters to release it on multiple plataforms later but then I discovered that it was being developed by Koei Tecmo and was entirely funded and published by Nintendo.
We live in weird times, but not that I mind since I have both PS4 and Switch.
Charles Nguyen
>Storm has nice tits >they even gave Elektra a nice ass Based Koei. Now give me Agent Venom and Black Knight.
He's out kissing boys because Jean Grey turned him gay.
Benjamin Perez
Come to think of it, this version of Spider-Man is possibly the strongest Spider-Man. >Has the powers of The Other stacked on top of his post-Queen mutation giving him Class 20 strength (much higher when going all out since regular Spidey has feats that are beyong Class 20) >The Venom symbiote would double his baseline strength since it has grown stronger since they first time it and Peter has bonded >The complete Other transformation is strong enough to impale Solus who has fought Captain Universe twice >Since the Venom symbiote has grown stronger since its debut, Peter had access to a Hulk-like transformation whenever they have bonded. This monster form is strong enough to draw blood from Thor (Superior Venom) and punch Carnage Green Goblin through multiple buildings. Just imagine how much of a monster Poison would be if he stacked the Other transformation with the Venom Symbiote's Hulk mode. Poison's the Madara Uchiha among Spider-Men.
I want Robbie playable too and I hope The Black Order are unlockable.
William Ward
Nah, Mags and Sabertooth were absurdly fun in the first game, as was Green Goblin in the second. I see your point, but at the same time the right villain picks can be really cool.
