>Nightcrawler, Gambit, Beast, Angel Colossus, Ice-Man and Psylocke in the background of X-Mansion map
You know what that means? CYCLOPS, EMMA FROST, AND ROGUE ARE STILL ON THE TABLE FOR TOKON LETS GO!!!!! Oh and I guess Wolverine's still on the table too but who cares about that manlet.

>Hey guys, you know those fan favorite X-Men you were hoping would be on the roster?
>WELL, GUESS WHAT!
Game's fucked. Dead before it even had a chance to be born.

At this point I fully expect the launch roster to just be the 8 character from the reveal and none others.

>>725581901 (OP)
>>725582225
Obviously being a character in the background of a stage always means they can't be playable.

>>725582225
t.Psylockefag LOL STAY SEETHING. My BOY is making his triumphant return!

>>725581901 (OP)
Surely, they could just... not show up in the background when you're playing as them, right?

>>725582225
>>725581901 (OP)
Good. X-men is a IP cancer that consume everything in its path.
Less muties.

>>725582493
No one played Yang everyone just played his cooler and superior brother Yun.

>>725582817
No, that's impossible. That's why Alex wasn't in SFV.

>>725582817
With that dogshit half-assed Nightcrawler design? Not happening.

They've been so shy with reveals that at this point I'm 90% the roster is like 16-20 characters max.

>>725581901 (OP)
You forgot Rogue

>>725581901 (OP)
>>725583865
what popular x-men are even left

>>725584013
Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma, Magik, Jean (kinda)

>>725584458
Kitty too

>>725583158
>the Chadlex cope
Lol lmao

>Psylocke deconfimed
This games roster is going down the shitter real fast, especially knowing the roster is going to be tiny. They better add Luna Snow in to make up for the lack of goon.

>>725584013
Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magik, Jean Grey, Magneto, W*lverine.

>>725584013
>>725584659
Also Jubilee, and Kitty.

This game really is going to launch with a smaller roster than 2xko isn't it?

>>725581901 (OP)
>Nightcrawler, Gambit, Beast, Angel Colossus, Ice-Man and Psylocke in the background of X-Mansion map
That doesn't deconfirm them

>>725581901 (OP)
Are they really not going to put four X-Men so you can make a full team? That'd be really fucking dumb

>>725585000
>6 months without new characters
Very likely.

>>725585036
Their designs are bland, compared to the playable characters

>>725584013
On top of my head, Jubilee, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Cyclops, Cypher & Warlock, Magik, Moonstar, Cannonball, Sunspot, Mimic, Banshee, Havok, Polaris, Cerise, Xorn.
Also, they should introduce other villains than Magneto or Juggernaut, like Toad or Blob or Avalanche or Pyro.

>>725581901 (OP)
eh it's only a roster of 26 characters right, obviously they couldn't fill the roster with just X-men

>>725585563
you'll be lucky if you get over 15

>>725585000
how many did 2xko have? I'd assume launch Strive.
>>725585563
Honestly, they're holding reveals back so it makes me think the roster is actually small.

>>725585036
Their designs are bare minimum dogshit. They're not in.

They should introduce this guy. He can rep six X-men at once.

>>725585321
>storm, wolverine, cyclops, magik/armor
That's the only hope, not counting Kamala fuck her

>>725583797
Its basically a 1v1 game with optional tag so makes sense.

>>725585420
>Their designs are bland, compared to the playable characters
could just be a thing for the backgrounds, they could still have proper playable designs

I hope Magneto doesn't make it. He is too similar to Doom in terms of design and personality.

>>725585000
There are multiple possibilites. They are either keeping characters to announce next to launch and will go with marketing this way,game is waay out and 2026 window was late 2026 and game will slip to 2027(this might easily happen due to GTA6) or as you said game will be devoid of content like 2XKO but will be paid lmao.

>>725581901 (OP)
>emma frost
Absolutely NO ONE gave a shit about her before Rivals, and you only want her because of her ass, you fucking coomer bitch. Fuck off.
>>725583865
>Gambit
>Rogue
FUCK
I didn't even catch those, what the FUCK man. Are we really gonna be stuck with just fucking Wolverine, Cyclops and fucking JEAN?

>Rogue and Gambit are NPCs
Based. Fuck them overexposed whores.

>>725583865
>Arcsys partners with fucking Sony and Marvel to develop game
>they dont use their iconic animation method for some reason
>game itself also looks like ass too
Why? DNF Duel looks a lot better than this fucking game id argue that XRD so over 15 years old game does too not to mention Strive. Lighting looks like dogshit in comparison to Strive what the actual fuck am I witnessing over here. Did all of the budget went to Marvel kikes for licensing fees or what.

>>725586297
Just got to pray for Magik or Armor

>>725585516
>missing Emma
>adding Moonstar, Cannonball, Banshee, Polaris, and Ceries in a list of popular X-Men
Xorn would be cool though but I'm afraid if they added him that might mean no Magneto.

>>725586297
>Absolutely NO ONE gave a shit about her before Rivals
Are you fucking retarded? Emma has been main character status in the comics for over a decade. Emma was even going to be in MVC3 before the retarded devs swapped her out for Jean.
Emma is popular as hell.

>>725586297
>Absolutely NO ONE gave a shit about her before Rivals
Secondary spotted. You were never a real X-Men fan if you believe this. Emma is unironically dangerously close to surpassing Jean as main X-girl status.

>>725586297
>Absolutely NO ONE gave a shit about her before Rivals

She was kino in the best X-Men cartoon.

>>725586570
Probably half of the fucking budget went to acquiring the rights to use whichever characters are playable.

They can always use the white Psylocke.

I'll accept Cyclops if he is wearing the condom and not the cringe Jim Lee design.

So, 10-16 character launch roster confirmed?
Also, the GR comment makes me think we'll get at least 2 more 'new generation' characters.

>>725587649
>So, 10-16 character launch roster confirmed?
Based on what exactly? I assume we will get a character reveal at the VGAs.

>>725587649
>Also, the GR comment makes me think we'll get at least 2 more 'new generation' characters.
Why do I feel like Miles is inevitable? Best case scenario, they use Reptil.

>>725582817
That's possible. But the designs of the background characters are clearly half baked.

>>725588013
>Why do I feel like Miles is inevitable?
because you're an idiot

>>725587851
>Based on what exactly?
Why didn't they reveal any characters since the announcement? And it seems to fit into the general starting roster amount a lot of modern fighters go with.

They should add Blob.

>>725586908
>show came out in 2009
>Emma is STILL considered the best part of this show even now.
MY WHITE QUEEN!

Emma make sense since she is basically Collossus and Jean Grey at the same time. But we already have a X-lady in the roster...

>>725590359
Hopefully the devs saw how much social media buzz / money she made NetEase in Rivals and decided they want some too.

>>725590778
I assume the launch roster was already planned during the development phase, so I doubt it.

>>725586182
this was never a problem for mvc

>>725581901 (OP)
Good. Fuck the X-men and fuck X-fags. Retards think they own marvel and never even look at anything outside 90s nostalgia. And mutants are all shitters anyways.

>>725591681
Keep seething. X-men were the second most popular marvel IP nearly tied with Spider-Man in the 90's and they ONLY fell off cus of Fox, and now they're making a huge resurgence, while Avengers will ONCE again be the bronze medalers they were in the 90's.

You know what I've learned from Rivals? You can put literally ANY character in a video game and if they're outfit is drawn slutty enough retards will pretend they're fans of them. Nobody cares about Luna Snow, Nobody cares about Dagger and Angela is a joke. You could add DEATHCRY to the game and retards would flood the R34 sites with her.

>>725581901 (OP)
I know they're not playable but man I sort of wish Arc System Works still redesigned them

>>725584013
Magik feels like a safe bet
Westaboos LOVE her

>>725592224
>Were
And now, they are literal cancer with bloated X-titles. For fuck's sake, how in the world you need 3 X-books and 5 solos, with 4 of them getting cancelled?

>>725592224
>and now they're making a huge resurgence
>From the Ashes. Krakoa bullshit.
Lol. Yeah keep riding Deadpools coat tails. The x0men as a comic if poisoned.

>>725592224
>X-men were the second most popular marvel IP nearly tied with Spider-Man in the 90'
and guess what it's not the 90s anymore, it's time to move on

>>725592491
>The x0men as a comic if poisoned.
X-men and Spider-man, yesssir. Everyone else is fine, in fact Fantastic Four and Moon Knight are bangers.
But those two IPs are existing in a perpetual states of bruh moment. Only Adjectiveless X-men is worth reading, and the rest + the Spider-man titles are like "lol lmao even".

>>725592482
HAHAHA keep coping. The kings are returning to the save Marvel.
>>725592491
Krakoa was awesome. Seethe.
>>725592631
Move on? Lol the X-men are going to be the main focus of the next phase of the MCU. And X-Men 97 is Marvels most popular Marvel show.
Hell rumor has it that Cyclops is going to be the main character of the next phase of the MCU.
Avengerfags fucking LOST. X-Chads are back to reclaim their rightful throne.

>>725592923
>the next phase of the MCU
The MCU is dead
> And X-Men 97 is Marvels most popular Marvel show.
oh yeah because it's facing such stiff competition

>>725593060
Cope! X-Men have retained their popularity throughout even the dark ages while the avengers are rapidly falling off. ITS OVER!

>>725592923
Source I thought the next big bad guy was supposed to that Kang guy? that's what ant-man was about haven't seen any after that?

>>725593364
The actor beat his wife so they shelved Kang since they are somehow stubborn about not replacing actors.

>>725593438
Except for War Machine. And the Hulk.

>>725593364
I don't know about the big bad but a credible leaker said the next phase is going to focus on the Summers family with Cyclops being the main character, and wolverine being sidelined (thank god).

>>725593590
You know when I was a kid, I always liked Wolverine and Gambit. But as an adult I realize Cyclops is the best x-man. And I don't mean fucking meme tier rightclops bullshit. I men actual heart of the x-men Slim Summers.

>>725593590
>family

>two brothers &..........?

Literally how,are they going to add in a sister that shoots lighting from her fingers?

>>725593801
>>two brothers &..........?
His space pirate father, Corsair and two kids from different bad futures.

>>725593790
Scott is really the boring man. What people didn't understand is that's why he was interesting.

>>725593979
I wouldn't call him boring by any stretch. There's a lot he has going on around him. But unlike the edgy tantrum throwers like wolverine he was the one he (Used to) always stand for something. Even more than Xavier himself at times.

>>725593927
>>725593801
And the wife and kid he abandonned to play X-man with his resurected ex-GF.
Aaah, the power of editorial mandate and how it can fuck with a character.

>>725593979
>Scott is really the boring man.
People who read the comics don't think Scott is boring. A bit autistic maybe but not boring.

>>725594098
>And the wife and kid he abandonned to play X-man with his resurected ex-GF.
One of those was the aforementioned bad future kid Cable. But man it's always funny when you try to look at a lot of older comics going forward than retroactively. Hell there was a time were he might have become a thing with Coleen Wing.

>>725594069
I say boring man because that's is his personality. He was cool headed, but truly believe in the dream, and will strive to it with efficiency. Now, that doesn't mean he was emotionless or anything, but his more nuanced emotions make him feel like an adult character even compared to the 50 year old something Wolverine.

>>725594417
Fair take.

>>725594280
You can really tell when someone doesn't read comics. Cyclops is an awesome leader. Mr Fantastic is a wholesome family man whose wife is in a percent O-face from his elastic dong and Superman isn't overpowered (for his book) and has a lot of personality and nuance.

>>725594518
>percent
permanent. I need to get a sandwich.

>>725581901 (OP)
>ROGUE

>Put the visor
>Is instantly recognizable
I am convinced that his ultimate outfit would be a Batman Beyondesque type of suit, only with yellow decoration here and there.

they really need to make a character announcement soon

>>725582527
Cyclops overcoming the humiliation ritual Fox put him through is an inspiring thing to see.

>>725595649
They better have the silver age suit. Its jist so cool.

>>725595801
I'm hoping we get classic costumes all around. The game looks like it's gonna be cool but much like Rivals I don't like these weeb variants too much.

So if there's a Savage Land stage. And Kazar's in the background... does that mean...

>>725595894
What fuck me is that classic japanese superheros are not that different from american one. See Gatchaman or Casshern.

>>725592337
They didn't want to get people's hopes up that they would be playable so they half-assed them on purpose. Kind of Arcsys really.

I hope Venom is not playable. I wanna see MvC secondaries suffers and to be honest, the recent King In Black stuff is hella gay.

>>725596131
Yeah there's a lot of silvage age in those tatsunoko works.

>>725595894
>Arcsys
>Selling Costumes
Anon...

>>725596297
I have never liked Venom. Not even in the comics. And Carnage and the subsequent symbiotes were progressively worse.

>>725596334
I don't even call it silver age. To me, its superhero, plain and simple.
Also, their most popular alien superhero looks like a guy covered in spandex.
And now, you will imagine Captain Marvel (the alien ones like Mar Vell or Genis Vell, not boring earthling like Carol) in a Ultraman-esque suit. It won't happen.

>>725596670
The whole Gold, Silver, Bronze etc age thing really kind of stands out more for DC anyways. Marvel, even in the 60s always felt pretty modern. Like Fantastic Four had that kind of pulp feel to it for a bit but Spider-man and Avengers really kind of fell more in line with bronze age stuff.

>>725594790
Where?

>>725599021
who would Rogue normally sit next to?

>>725596065
Conan but female?

>>725600365
c'mon man, really? I know you're thinking pulp so you're in the right direction but goddamn.
