CHARACTERS KNOWN SO FAR

Ok something for a little more discussion while we wait for the next trailer. After thinking about it and reviewing the info and the original game I noticed a trend that could lead to some interesting predictions. Traditionally mua has had standard lineups of each main team having 5 characters as the standard. In the original game avengers were the only exception(at release). Now from the info we have there are dozens of characters playable and we have about 16 revealed and 3 major revealed factions(and 3 smaller ones that aren't a confirmed team but have been previously)
So the reason I bring it up is a major part of mua on top of making your own teams is that each major team has a full team(and usually an alternate) which means 5 total characters. So here's the confirmed factions, and minimum slots. So a big one is we don't have the full X-men lineup and we should get at least 4 more
So here's the factions we know of
Gotg

1. Starlord
2. Gamora
3. Drax
4. Rocket and groot(seem to be a single character)

X-men

1. Wolverine
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?

Avengers

1. Iron man
2. Cap
3. Hulk
4. Thor
5. Falcon
6. Scarlet Witch
7. Vision(not officially shown but in a split second frame of the trailer)

Inhumans (not nessecarily a full faction as Both have been a member of multiple teams)

1. Crystal
2. Lockjaw

Shield(has been a sub faction, and the only faction only character is generally Nick Fury, but we could see more with it as a primary this time)

1. Nick Fury

Spider friends (general colloquial for Spider-Man related characters)

1. Spider-Man

Now the last three won't nessecarily fill up, oh and marvel knights are likely as both hand ninjas have beeen shown. We don't know if there will be playable villains. X-men could get more as we truly don't know what other teams were getting but 5 characters are the most likely. Oh and if we go off previous games here's a legacy team that is like
Marvel Knights

1. Daredevil
2. Elektra
3. Luke Cage
4. Blade
5. Ghost Rider
6. Moon knight

And of course avengers is likely to be the biggest it's wver been however it's also possible for multiple characters to be focused in their sub teams like west coast avengers

Wasn't expecting it to be an exclusive. Looked pretty fun!

 

[Neoxon]

So is Nintendo developing the game? I'd imagine that they're publishing it.

Either way, I'm hyped. And we got the Guardians & X-Men up in here!

Holy shit.

Geoff was right. Never would have expexted this.

 

[Knight613]

Graphically could be better, but I do want to play another one of these. I guess Activision has to be making it right?

[SolidSnakex]

Who's developing this as it looks pretty low budget?

Also, it's cool to see the X-Men.

 

[BernardoOne]

[Strings]

Weird that it's an exclusive, but I'll definitely play it. Loved Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 (plus X-Men Legends).

 

[Ghost Rider]

Might pick this one up

 

[Kinsei]

The fact that it's exclusive is odd. I'm happy to be getting the game at all though.
