Should be interesting how a 2v2 Morrigan team with no Doom assist should be for Chris G.
X switched into his armor set from X1- bruh just show me sigma mannnnnnnn.
Additional Caps
Spoiler: show
The keyword that kept coming out of this interview was "freeform." 3rd character/assist was dropped to focus more on on team synergy between two characters of choice, tagging in and out "at will", while X-Factor was dropped completely in favor of Infinity Stone system (pick gem to augment your [comeback] play style).
tl;dr, if you loved TvC, you'll very likely love the shit out of this game.
The likely future?
I'm ok with this, TvC was a ton of fun. But they need to bring mega crash and baroque mechanics. I love how capcom used some guilty gear mechanics in TvC.
If I wanted to play a game where I airdashed forward endlessly, I'd just play GG (and I'd get better graphics, to boot).
The thing that separates Marvel from all the anime games (including TvC) is that there is an actual variety of playstyles, instead of a bunch of variations of rushdown. Cable/Commando, Spiral/Sentinel, Strider/Doom, and Morrigan/Doom don't exist in other games.
That's actually the thing I'm most concerned about with the loss of assists: Marvel being turned into yet another one-dimensional rushdown-only anime fighter. Fortunately, in the past Capcom has shown that they know and understand the value of zoning/trapping in Marvel, so I'm not that worried about it. (It's fairly clear that the changes Morrigan received in MVC3 were specifically intended to make her the equivalent of MVC2 Strider.)
hypeeeeee my girl morrigan is back!
I would be shocked if Astral Vision works the same in MVCI.
I would hope it's changed if for no other reason then the benefit of spectators. I respected it but man, watching Chris G lock down people for an entire set got old.
Well, the spectator angle (ie twitch) want prevalent at the time, so you'd assume the people watching were much more inclined about fighting games and more likely to appreciate what may be going on.
Marvel 3 benefited massively from not necessarily needing to understand the mechanics and just enjoy the flashy bullshit, and Morridoom definitely was counterintuitive to that angle of appeal.

Well known leaker on Neogaf says that X-Men and FF characters will be in the game, but as DLC.
Logan is in the concept art.
Hello again, children.
Also, like I've been saying since '09: Breath of Fire 3 chars, plez. (No, I don't give a fuck about 4, shut up.)
