this really sucks because i don't like the Wii graphics and mostly wanted the ps3 version. but Psylocke is my favorite character and i'd definitely prefer her over the other random characters they have in the game :frown:

No big loss. Cyclops SUCKED in the first MUA. But I was hoping Psylocke would show up in this game. She was so cool as a boss in the first game.:frown:

And Blade was a no-brainer.

Nice that they gave Wii a little something but I'm still getting it for PS3. Really I couldn't care less about Cyclops since well I hate him and Blade who cares about him when you got Deadpool. Psylocke this one makes me sad but I hope she makes it to DLC in the HD console versions.

Cyclops was a great character. You had to level him up and use him accordingly though. He gave pretty decent boosts to the team if you leveled up his tactics and leadership.

True, but he was a weak character. All beam characters were pretty weak. Hopefully that will change.

Why did blade come back? Talk about the worse character in MU.

Blade is most likely coming back because he is one of Marvel's best known properties, like it or not.

As for DLC, don't be so sure about that. Both Hawkeye and Black Widow were only made playable on the PSP in the first Ultimate Alliance.

As optic rage said, all characters are available through the DLC (whatever that is) and can be downloaded complete with fusions with the other characters. There is no need to panic....I'll provide a link if needed.

The beam characters were terrible: Cyke, Mags, Iceman, Ms. Marvel were just not very fun IMO. In a four player, it was like if you controlled these characters you were just helping the others get better since your damage to enemies was garbage. Hated that....and Gambit was THE BEST character in legends 2....crazy right?

Jean was the best in XML1(killed everyone on the screen with one move)
Wolverine was the best in XML2(one hit kill move)
Mr Fantastic was the best in MUA(did over 2000 damage to everyone on the screen with one move)

And yeah, i think they will be DLC. Esp Psylocke and Cyclops since they have had a huge amount of requests, and people are going crazy that they are not on the 360/PS3 at the MUA2 forums.

The X-Men have a huge gamer fanbase, the characters are guaranteed to boost Wii sales. I doubt they'll be the DLC for PS3/X-Box 360 it's the only thing the Wii has over them.

Looks like there won't be any telepaths, no mental damage in the game and Jean just lost her only TP move.

I'm glad Psylocke will be on it, but it better be DLC for multiple platforms. Wii is crap, especially in how you have to play MUA. I'd love for Husk or M to be in any game at all. I'm also hoping for Wiccan, Ronin, or Kate Bishop-Hawkeye. It would always be nice to see some young X-Men or Young Avengers in it.

I'm sorry--but, yawn. A blaster (theres only so much you can do with Cyclops' powers without stretching it too far) and 2 melee characters (let's not pretent like Psylocke will have psi powers like she did in the 80s--the buttfloss version only every uses the dumb knife and katana).

This company rarely includes characters that could actually change or pump up the gameplay. They just keep sticking in characters that have limited powersets or that serve the same function as a handful of characters already present.

Instead of some of these X characters (Cyclops, Psylocke, Jean, Gambit, Juggernaut) there should have been some Young Avengers--or at least X-men that have versatile powers. Emma would have been a better option since, if they actually thought about play mechanics, you could level and use her as a tank (diamond form) or ranged/crowd control (psi)

At this rate I'm sure Elektra, Ghost Rider, Black Panther & Rhino will be revealed next, lol.

Yeah Psylocke will be a TK, their Havok system or whatever it's called doesn't cater for mental damage...I think it's only physical and energy. Hence the reason why Emma is very unlikely and why Jean who had 1 TP move now has 2 TK moves and 2 Phoenix Fire moves.

I'd expect her to show up as a NPC, since she did play a role in the comic book. And she'd be awesome, but it might be hard to do a character like that, ya know? She was kinda odd to use in X-Men Legends.

Emma was pretty counter productive. Using telepathy is very hard in games like this and I would not be happy for moves that make people "run away" from you. The point is to kill people not run all over the screen trying to catch them.

Now if Emma had a power that held people still while beating them, that would be nice. The diamond brick form would be cool as well....menta meets brick is a great aspect. She has a large fanbase so i wouldn't count her out yet.

I'm glad Psylocke was confirmed, he's perfect for a melee/rpg game. I mean she's a ninja. Plus she has mental abilities, I'm sure Jean will be used as more of a range attacker (which is how it should be done anyway) with Betsy more physical.

Even though Jean was made for all platforms, while Psylocke wasn't.

for a character that really hasn't done that much in the books (especially in the past decade) he's been in the first 2 XMLs, 1st MUA (in addition to X-Men Arcade & a Capcom fighter)--Colossus fans really have nothing to be complaining about. Especially considering his powers consist of not being much more than a tank, it's not like he opens up more gameplay options or playability (than Thing, Hulk, Luke Cage, etc)

I agree I think it's a shame that Colossus is thrown in the games more than most other X-Men.

I just think developers see him as familiar or recognizable, plus he was in the X-Men movies I guess.

I had more fun playing as Juggernaut in Legends 2 than I did Colossus. I don't see why both were in that game plus Rogue as already a tank as well.

I'm not saying I can blame the developers. It's the truth and it's why characters like Wolverine, Storm, Jean always can be pretty much guaranteed in a video game of the franchise.

We say this and then we get characters like Songbird. While nothing against the character, it's just that they went from one extreme to the other. Who that doesn't read the comics knows who the fuck Songbird is? Or Penance, Nick Fury etc.,

Actually they put her in the game because of her "role" during Civil War and the artwork that an artist did for the Thunderbolts created interested in the developers.

I doubt it's because Marvel told them that Songbird is a huge up and comer or anything like that.

I have to disagree on Nick Fury though, if you were to put Wolverine, SpiderMan, Iron Man, Captain America all together and with Nick Fury I can be sure that non-readers wouldn't be able to identify Nick Fury.

That was the reason I was hoping she would be in the game. Emma even beat Jean in the polls. And if they are going to have character like Songbird, Penacne, etc in it who are lesser known than Emma I thought Emma would have a chance. There was just some false hope... I don't even think she'll be a NPC. I got excited that Emma was mentioned in MUA in conversation with Xavier.

And yes their powers are similar... but so are Hulk/Thing/Juggernaut and they are all in it.

And no one will get Dagger and Emma confused if they are designed right. Not to mention Dagger is a NPC and won't be in the same scene.

this isn't in reference to anyone in this thread, but just something I always found funny in general about gamers re: video game characters:

they will bitch out the whazoo if there is more than one blond character playable. "There are too many blonds, this will be confuzing!!!11!!"

Oh, I'm sorry--is the extra blond overshadowing the 50 dark-haired players running around :confused:

MUA1 had similar complaints. "There's no room for Emma or Dazzler as playables, we already have Warbird and Invis Woman--it will just confuse players!"

regarding the wtfcrackrocks inclusion of Songbird and Penance (among others), this game company has a habit of including characters THEY want playable--instead of off of fan feedback or what the character could offer to the gameplay mechanics. This is why Deadpool & Iron Man were playable in XML2 and why Songbird & Penance are playable now. And why, of all characters, Longshot was going to be a PC exclusive playable in MUA1... yes, you read right

It's different though. Emma's arguably only risen to her level of prominence because Jean is out of the picture. And Morrison remarked that he only gave her the diamond powers because Pitor was still dead at that point.

The whole function of the psychic first lady of the X-Men has already been filled by Jeanie, and there are more than enough brawlers in the game as well.

And I say that as a die-hard Emma Frost fan.

He gained the powers of the grandmaster and although he said he was going to use them for good....Can you really trust Zemo?

If we're going to consider her a major player because of her involvement in the Thunderbolt series, we might as well consider all characters affected by Civil War whether it was the main series, tie-in issues, one-shots and Civil War related mini series.

It's different though. Emma's arguably only risen to her level of prominence because Jean is out of the picture. And Morrison remarked that he only gave her the diamond powers because Pitor was still dead at that point.

The whole function of the psychic first lady of the X-Men has already been filled by Jeanie, and there are more than enough brawlers in the game as well.

And I say that as a die-hard Emma Frost fan.

Emma rose with Gen X when Jean was around. And really rose during New X-Men when Jean was around. My issue is that can't people like Emma AND Jean. I really could careless if Emma is with Cyclops... she could do better.

And I know Morrison did want to use Colossus and Moira, but thats when Joe Q was cool and wouldn't let them bring back the dead. He picked Emma because he couldn't use Storm, it was the one character Claremont had dips on. Secondary mutation was theme within his book I don't think Emma turning to diamond had anything to do with Colossus. Its not like he turned her into a muscle powerhouse.

If we're going by importance in the actual series then I would think that both Goliath & Tigra would be in it, that's right TIGRA.

I have a Wii so I'm happy that Cyclops, Psylocke, and Blade made it in.

I agree with you. Why don't people get that Emma and Jean CAN be in the same comic together?

LOL Iceman's alternate costume for MUA2 is this:

They got it from his cameo appearance in the insanely popular X-Men Ronin!!!

I guess Bobby has a lack of costume variety that they had to take one from X-Men Ronin (of all places lol)

That's really weird. I would have thought they'd have gone with the First Class outfit like they did with Jean.

I don't really understand why they even thought up using that costume. It's so completely obscure and random, I wonder if fans would have even noticed where it came from. Most people probably would have though that it was just a creative take on Iceman's more recent Carey/Bachalo outfit, but it's clearly from X-Men Ronin. Luckily, I'm such a huge nerd that I recognised the ressemblance immediately LOL. :tongue:
It's definitivly a wft costume choice.

I think they used that costume because it look like something a real person would wear. Them seem to modified some of the characters costume in the games IMO to add more realism & etc.

Damn. I do hope he's DLable. Him and Ghost Rider were my best characters in the last game and was disappointed when neither of them were announced. Good to hear Cyke is in it also. He was my best in the Legend games.

Oh! How I would have loved to see New X-Men with Storm, Colossus and Moira in there instead of Emma. I mean, Emma was great, but I love all those other characters so much more and Morrison was on fire for that run(other than the ending...).

I'm just glad they're still throwing bones to us owners of PS2. However, I'll probably only use Psylocke, since Blade wasn't great in MUA1 and I don't really care about Cyke. I'm still not sure why there's only 1 alternate costume per character though :confused:
