It can be done, the question is who will lol

I want a standalone Marvel universe fighting game (no Marvel vs etc...except DC that be probably biggest video game seller ever).


As for roster

If I had a say Id like:

Heroes (15):
Spiderman
Captain America
Dr. Strange
Ironman
Thor
Black Cat
Wolverine
Gambit
Torch
Black Panther
Ms. Marvel
Psylocke
Deadpool
Iron fist
Iceman

Villians (15)
Venom
Carnage
Dr. Doom
Dormammu
Loki
Thanos
Galactus
Magneto
Emma frost/white queen
Dark Jean/ Black queen
Electro
Doc Oc
Sandman
Lizard
Juggernaut

That's a lot of Spidey villains.

It COULD be made, but I couldn't see it while Capcom are making the MvC games which will always focus on tournament balance as opposed to fun etc.

but I'l name a roster for fun anyways.

Heroes

Gambit
Silver Surfer
Spiderman
Thor
Ironman
Captain America
Hawkeye
Wolverine
Human Torch
Storm
Miss Marvel
Elecktra

Villians

Deadpool (not really a villian I know)
Venom
Magneto
Loki
Juggernaut
Doctor Doom
Super Skrull
Ghost
Ambomination
Sentry
Lady Deathstrike
Mystique
Dark Phoenix

Heroes
1. Spider-Man
2. The Hulk
3. Iron Man
4. Captain America
5. Wolverine
6. Nightcrawler
7. Thor
8. The Punisher
9. Ghost RIder
10. Daredevil
11. Elektra
12. Mr. Fantastic
13. Invisible Woman
14. The Human Torch
15. The Thing

Villains
1. Green Goblin
2. The Leader
3. The Mandarin

As long Psylocke is in, I'm happy.

Yeah Im slightly biased since Spiderman is my favorite and it's villians are pretty cool. Im sure there can be a fair selection of villians from other posters though ;)

I actually want a remake of X-Men: Mutant Academy (1 and 2) from the PSX days. While the game wasn't great, I had tons of fun with it. Plus I'm a real X-Men fan. Of all comics, they hold my interest the most.

It shouldn't have 2 symbiotes. Either Carnage or Venom, but I'd have to say Venom.

I think Marvel could do it, but not as long as they have MvC going on. Only characters I need are:

Captain America
Hulk
Wolverine
Spider-Man
Gambit
Venom

Ugh the Mutant Academy games were fantastic (to me, for their time). Mutant Academy 2 is the first game I ever really ANTICIPATED coming out. I didn't eat for like a day waiting to go to Toys R Us to go get it and I played it all weekend without sleep and made myself sick XD.

Ignore my nostalgia.

They should have a story with Spider-Man/Peter Parker faces off against his alternate dimension self who's had enough taking responsibility and the criticisms of people like J. Jonah Jameson treating him like a freak & menace.

So Spider-Man kills Jameson at last and starts to have several heroes & villains conquer the world.

Elektra is NOT a hero guys! For my list, each of my characters has a selected rival, like Injustice's select screen.

Heroes:

01. Cyclops
02. Storm
03. Wolverine
04. Psylocke
05. Spider-Man
06. Black Cat
07. Captain America
08. Iron Man
09. Hulk
10. Thor
11. Daredevil
12. Human Torch
13. Invisible Woman
14. Ghost Rider
15. Squirrel Girl


Villains/Neutral:

01. Magneto
02. Mystique
03. Silver Samurai
04. Vertigo
05. Venom
06. Sand Man
07. Madame Hydra
08. Ultron
09. Thanos
10. Enchantress
11. Elektra
12. Super Skrull
13. Dr. Doom
14. Blackheart
15. Deadpool

Considering Marvel doesn't make games, I'd say no.

I'd love to see Marvel fighting game like Injustice :)

Heroes:
1. Spider-Man
2. Captain America
3. Hulk
4. Thor
5. Iron Man

2. Loki
3. Magneto
4. Sabretooth
5. Venom
6. Mandarin
7. Quicksilver
8. Enchantress
9. Dark Phoenix
10. Songbird
11. Mystique
12. The Leader
13. Mephisto
14. Super-Skrull
15. Red Skull

Galactus - Main Boss

DLC
1. Deadpool
2. She Hulk

And this is me being CONSERVATIVE

It's not "name all your favorite Marvel characters". It's "pick and choose based on a realistic roster size for a game's limited development resources."


I could fill a roster of 50 up with just mutants :|

Whatever this hypothetical game may ever turn out to be. I will NOT be buying it unless it has...

CARNAGE.

This guy just keeps getting the shaft. UA2 doesn't count. I've been waiting since Maximum Carnage on snes for an opportunity to bust him out in a fighter. Not MVC Carnage. I was so upset.

Needs more Carnage.

We agree on everything. (And Songbird too)

Marvel fighting games are made by Capcom. Have been for years. I think NRS would want to do something that hasn't been done before.

Okay 30 heroes & villains each then.

Heroes:
- Spiderman
- Wolverine
- Captain America
- Iron Man
- Hulk
- Thor
- Hawkeye
- Black Widow
- Vision
- Storm
- Rogue
- Psylocke
- Gambit
- Human Torch
- Mr. Fantastic
- Doctor Strange
- Gambit
- Anti-Venom

Villains:
- Green Goblin
- Sabertooth
- Baron Zemo
- Mandarin
- Abomination
- Loki
- Boomerang
- Madame Masque
- Ultron
- Magneto
- Mystique
- Super Skrull
- Dr. Doom
- Dormammu
- Carnage

This is... so far.

But you chose Squirrel Girl, who would be literally impossible to portray accurately in a fighting game.

Why in the world would you say that?

Also, accuracy is relative in fighting games. There are so many liberties taken when translating any media characters into fighting games. It's to be expected... not that Squirrel Girl would be any different from any other character in making the jump.

True, but undeniably, a good portion of what makes her compelling is the very fact that she's nigh-unstoppable and canonly the most powerful character in the universe.

You realize that you can defeat Galactus with Phoenix Wright in MvC3 right?

She's not unstoppable, she's just gotten wins under her belt that are there for comedic purposes. She beat some powerhouses because they were acting cocky, and some characters because they were weakened. Also, some of her victories were assists, in where she used clever strategies to give her allies the upper hand.

Her defeat of Thanos is like a long running gag. No one knows if it was the real Thanos or not. The Watcher said it was the real Thanos, but then Thanos said he could create clones that were perfect enough to fool the Watcher. Then it was revealed that the Thanos who said that was actually a clone himself. Not only that, but it was a clone who had his mind wiped.

She's awesome comedic relief and never really taken seriously by anyone, besides Deadpool, but she's still a good fighter.

Yes, her undefeated status is a strong part of her comedic presence, but I don't think it's the fact that she's undefeated that's so funny. I think it's the fact that she defeated these ultra powerful characters at all... and that's something that can easily translate into a fighting game.

I've actually put her in a mod I did in Warcraft III. She can summon armies of squirrels, eat nuts to replenish her health and other stuff. There's a billion things they could do with her in a fighter. I hope she's in MvC4, tbh. I'd main her up the butt.

DC's Injustice did a story about two dimensions.

Why not Marvel do the same with Spider-Man as the main hero, where there is a Spider-Man who became the ruler of the world, tired of taking such responsibilities and kills J. Jonah Jameson?
