I love the presentation as a Japanese anime fighter game.

This looks awesome. However, it doesn't launch with 50+ characters at least I'm out. There is no reason for them not to cram this thing full of characters. And I don't even care if there is a Season Pass that adds more, if there aren't at least 50 at start of game it's a bargain bin game.

I watched the Making of video on the Playstation YouTube channel and the developer of the game says it's still being worked on and there will be more news to come.

I mean it's an Arc System Works game, unless you want most of the characters to play exactly the same I'd say for balance reasons alone they're not going to launch with 50 unique characters. But I guess we'll see.

Hulk and Black Panther announced:

What a comical post. No base fighting game comes with anywhere near 50 different characters.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 did, but that was 25 years ago.

Andy decent fighting game will have careful balance between the characters, so unless the majority of the 50 characters are palette swaps or something...
