Board 8 > Interesting Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, Street Fighter V, and other Capcom leaks

(+) Yeah! (+)

So, this guy apparently leaked a bunch of the really weirder stuff in the giant MvC:I leak that appeared such as two Ghosts N Goblin characters and Jedah, and sadly this means that the leak is pretty much certain. However, he also has more information about the Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite roster, plans for Street Fighter V, and a couple other nuggets of Capcom info (i.e. New Ghosts N Goblins game...?)

https://www.reddit.com/r/Kappa/comments/6eqnpt/because_incompetence_has_consequences_heres_mvci/

Characters I've leaked for MvCI previously include (I won't put check marks by the ones not yet revealed, but since Ryce leaked them, I'll put an asterisk to be nice):

Spider-Man *
Doctor Octopus
Venom as DLC
Songbird
Ms. Marvel
Ant-Man *
Rocket (but Groot is now part of his moveset) ✓
Thanos *
Black Panther
Doctor Strange *
Star-Lord
Black Widow
Chun-Li ✓
Hunter (from Monster Hunter) *
Rathalos (though I will admit that this one is shaky because they might've nixed it to only be in the Hunter's moveset for a Hyper because Giants might be done away with as playable, and Rathalos was planned to be part of the Hyper regardless) Note: I haven't heard anything since regarding Rathalos
Strider Hiryu ✓
Leon Kennedy
Jedah *
Nathan Spencer *
Captain Commando
Dante *
Frank West *
Asura

I was also told of a Street Fighter V and a 3rd Darkstalkers character, which I'll get more into in a moment.
DLC characters I heard about were Doctor Doom, Super-Skrull, and Silver Surfer. As well as X-Men being DLC. The ones I've heard for the longest time being Wolverine, Cyclops, and Deadpool.

Note: I said that not ALL the Capcom characters I leaked are launch characters before. And I never had confirmation that ALL the Marvel characters would be either, neither did I say they would be. So fuck off with that shit claiming I said things that I never actually said before. People just assumed I did because they're mad that Capcom bunglefucked the launch roster. AND YOU SHOULD BE.

So moving right along, I've recently heard of plans about Season 2 possibly being Fantastic Four vs Darkstalkers DLC pack next year, which is how Doom, Skrull, Silver Surfer, and She-Hulk will be an 8 character season instead of 6, and mentioned Felicia and Talbain by name as Darkstalkers being added for it. Hsien-Ko's return could happen in that too to fill a slot and because they can reuse animation assets from MvC3.

Then the Season 3 plans be that X-Men are seemingly going to be added alongside some Street Fighter characters to play on the X-Men vs Street Fighter part of the MvC legacy. Which makes sense since SF only has 2 of them at launch as reps.

Season 2 and 3 from what I know and hear, won't be released like SFV does with the all year thing to only add 6 characters, but instead one season in the first half of the year, and the second in the second half of the year. Though there is some kind of discussion going on about doing 4 seasons a year, meaning a season every 3 months (like actual seasons of the year, though not accurate probably as they'd follow January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December).

They went in a direction of making this game VERY DLC-heavy. Which as you've seen, is an extremely controversial decision. It's bad. But they made their bed. And honestly, despite having a source knowing someone who works for them, they as a company piss me off, which is kind of an ulterior motive why I leak stuff. Aside from just being bad at keeping secrets tbfh.

I think the thing that bothers me as a fan so much is how they're witholding so much and so many of the most requested characters as DLC and essentially filled the roster with some characters they knew people wouldn't pay for. But peppered the roster with some enticing things like X, Jedah, and the Hunter on their side to try and coax you to. The Marvel side is its whole other issue that so many people have gone over and over, but both sides are littered with scummy corporate bullshit.

With that one down, here are the SFV leaks! Season 2's remaining characters are Abigail, Menat, and Zeku.
A second cinematic story mode is happening. The base roster plus the Season 1 characters were prologues for the general cinematic story mode. Season 2 character's story modes for Akuma, Ed, and Kolin, which all take place after A Shadow Falls are prologues for the second cinematic story mode.

Ready for the biggest of bombshells? Super Street Fighter V is happening.

But it'll be a free update.

It won't make the base game useless either. It's really nothing more than an update. A glorified one, but an expansion none the less.

But what does SSFV contain? Lets run that down, shall we?

It adds:
Arcade Mode
Extra Battle
Some kind of PvE mode against the Illuminati
Some expanding on the existing mechanics
New Critical Arts

But it doesn't end there. SSFV brings with it a UI overhaul, and maybe more than that too.
You're probably curious of the characters too, huh? Those 6 will be Sagat, Sakura, Oro, C. Viper, Q, and Necro.

If you want a laugh, Street Fighter vet Alex Valle already leaked them "accidentally" (though it seems he just didn't care) on Twitter already. He never bothered deleting it either in case you don't believe me.

So there you have it. SSFV is a thing and will be announced likely by year's end at Capcom Cup's conclusion. Believe me. Don't. I don't care. But you would be wise to keep this all on record.

Here's the bonus. Back when I leaked Arthur and Firebrand being on MvCI, I personally found odd when I heard it, but fine since I heard the roster was going to be pretty big. Which it is.... over time. But like I told people, which SOMEHOW gets glossed over, I never said EVERY one of those characters I leaked would be there on launch. Just that they were in. Which in hindsight, I should've personally been more suspicious of. Now, if you want to hear something else regarding why they chose Arthur and Firebrand, Capcom Vancouver (the Dead Rising team) are doing a new GnG game (not sure if it's a sequel or a reboot) but the direction is seemingly realistic instead, and takes place in the 70s (on Earth from what I know, at least for the most part, and not in Makai/Hell). Because that's EXACTLY what GnG fans wanted!.... So because of that for some weird reason, we get Arthur and Firebrand on the launch roster. Even though neither will likely show up except I imagine realistic Red Arremers on that sequel/reboot.

I'll still be pissed if Zero and X aren't in the same goddamn game.

Eh, I think it works pretty well for Killer Instinct.

And it should work well for these games, but they keep fucking it up.

In SFV they're releasing an entire season of new characters nobody is willing to get hype or invest into.

In Marvel it looks like they're saving all the fan-demand characters for DLC so people put out the money for it.

It just seems like Capcom is trying their best to figure out the best way to take money from their fanbase and kind of screwing themselves as a result.

All I know is that I probably wouldn't spend another cent on SFV until they reveal what the hell's going to happen with this expansion.

Illuminati is the name of Gill's organization that orchestrated Street Fighter 3

They are involved in the story of Street Fighter V now too

Yeah I think the problem is Capcom is selling a full price game and then doing DLC seasons on top of that. KI didn't do a full price "base game", the whole thing was JUST seasons.

And if you just bought the character passes and not the bigger bundles with extra costumes and classic arcade games and whatnot, by the time you paid $60 you had 25 characters, a number SFV has just now reached.

fyi this guy p much does nothing but compile other leaks and adds some shit to them while backpedaling on things that dont match up with the things changed/will be dlc/outdated info excuses. literally no reason to believe him. especially over ryce
---

That guy, Riku, has already been proven wrong and called out by a legit reliable leaker as being a fake. I'd be wary of trusting anything he says.

Sagat was all they had to say

Right, so how does he know there's two GnG characters, Jedah, and Monster Hunter BEFORE Ryce did then?

Out of all the people that were claiming to be leakers, and there were a lot, don't you suppose it's possible that one of them just happened to be right? I mean, we run a website with contests where the majority of people just guess on the outcome.

Besides, I don't recall Ryce ever telling him he was wrong about the GnG characters or Monster Hunter, and Ryce did accidentally let Jedah's reveal slip a long time before we got confirmation.

Now obviously I can't guarantee for 100% certainty that either Riku or Ryce is 100% legit, but Ryce is a lot more credible given that Riku has been wrong about things before.

I'll probably start playing SFV again if C. Viper is added

Same, except instead of "probably" it's more like "maybe, if her execution barrier isn't as fuck-off high as it is in SF4".

That's actually way more accurate for me as well. I always loved her design and the way the character moved, but I couldn't actually play her competitively because I just wasn't good enough execution-wise. My fundamentals were/are solid enough that I can still beat scrubs and maybe some half decent players, but yeah... it sucked knowing I wasn't anywhere close to being able to use her as she was meant to be played.
