Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite

Because he now has a motorcyle chainsaw & a cowboy hat that can bring down meteors.

Yes, I'm sure they all told their game plans with each other about promoting DMC V.

I'm honestly surprised Loki wasn't in Infinite, and I'd be surprised if he weren't slated to be one of the DLC characters.

The game was never shallow enough when it counted. Except maybe when it came to Thanos & Black Panther.

For me, Asura, Doctor Octopus, and Claire as a Chris skin.

I've wanted Doc Ock in Mahvel ever since MVC 3.

They could even sneak some references to Omega Red in there.

How about one of the Fantastic 4? They have never been in the games while Doom gets to chill as one of the most beloved fighters in the franchise's history

I kind of want Super Skrull back, too. I like him.

There are three members of the F4 in Mvc3! Spiderman, Ghost Rider and She Hulk.

Don't forget Wolverine, Storm and Hulk.

Also Ant-Man has a cameo! (If that's Scott Lang. It's probably not, huh?)

It's probably Hank Pym since Earth's Mightiest Heroes was a thing. If it was Infinite it would've definitely been Scott.

Never really saw the appeal of the F4 being in the game but it's not like they couldn't work. Well maybe except for Ben.

Mr. Fantastic is basically Dhalsim and Sue’s force fields and invisibility could be fun with Interface Screw mechanics.

I mean, Super Skrull in MvC3 was basically the Fantastic Four, but since we have the likes of the Ninja Turtles in Injustice 2 and Pokemon Trainer in Smash Bros Ultimate, I think it's possible for them to share a character slot.

The Ninja Turtles shared a character model and a ton of moves, and Pokemon Trainer was horribly implemented when he was first added to Brawl. The Fantastic 4 have too different body types and superpowers for them to work as a single character. If you want the F4 properly, they have to be four individual character slots.

PT works fine in Smash Ultimate and there have been other weirder character combinations in fighting games.

If they wanted to put the work in they can implement them in one character slot just fine.

If you bring in one of the F4, you probably have to bring in all of them (Mr. Fantastic being the most forgivable single representation, but still leaving questions as to the others). Super Skrull was probably their way of a compromise that gets around this while pleasing the various fans of all four.

My instinct would actually be Sue Storm, depending on how creative they get with representing her forcefields.

Sue is easily the best pick to rep the FF.

I think a Ginyu Force system could suit the Fantastic Four well. Have Reed as the point man, and the rest pop in as built-in assists for specials and supers.

Vergil when?

Yeah, Sue and Johnny are the best choices for a fighting game.

I can see Reed and Ben being one character, but Sue and Johnny have enough to be individual characters.

I think all of them have enough content to be separate characters. The only potential issue is that you wouldn't be able to have all four of them on a team at once. The clear solution here is for MVC 4 to have 4-v-4 battles.

Ew. No. I actually prefer 2v2. Alternatively, ratio from CvSNK:2001MotM is the best of every option.

Skullgirls uses something like that to pretty good effect and double and sometimes even solo characters are actually pretty viable.

Feels like nowadays fighting game developers are terrified of scaring players off with too many options, though, so I doubt we'd get anything but a standard, universal system.
