Plenty of non-roster fighters pop up in MvCI's single player modes

While reading through a recent article from Game Informer, we spotted a quick Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite detail that may have been overlooked during the recent influx of major news about the game.

Suriel Vazquez of GI was able to play a build the of game not yet released to public eye. This particular build contained more of MvCI's single player modes, including the general story.

Vazquez made it a point to note that there are plenty of non playable (as of right now) characters that will both aid and hinder the progress of the 36 initial-roster and DLC combatants as they traverse their Infinity Stone scavenger hunt.

"Although the emphasis is definitely still on the 30 characters who will make up the game’s initial roster, we will definitely see characters outside of it," says Vazquez.

"An earlier story trailer showed off Strider’s Grandmaster Meio, Mega Man’s Dr. Light had a few lines in the section we played, and though M.O.D.O.K. isn’t playable this time around, he still featured prominently in one story mode scene."

While it is exciting to see Dr. Light and Meio make appearances, one other character has our interests piqued a little more because of their inclusion on a leak list from months ago.

The author makes mention of a Rathalos armor-clad monster hunter that teams up, to some capacity, with our heroes.

A leak list from Ryce that hit the internet at the end of May this year pointed to 28 characters, (you can get a refresher by clicking the logo below) 26 of which eventually made it in. Ant-Man and Monster Hunter were the only ones that did not:

"I also saw one interesting scene in Valkanda between Ryu, The Hulk, and Black Panther, the latter of which holds an Infinity Stone. They’re joined by a monster hunter in what looks like a Rathalos armor set," continues Vazquez.

"The character was part of a roster leak earlier in the year, but when I asked Capcom about her potential inclusion as DLC, they said they had nothing to announce."

We're certainly not beyond speculating a character from Capcom's Monster Hunter or Marvel's Ant-Man to appear as one of the four remaining DLC characters after Sigma and Black Panther.

We'd love to hear you thoughts on the matter, specifically how likely you think it is that these two are on their way, and also whether or not you'd like to see them.

They would be two fighters never before seen in the MvC playable universe. There's plenty more MvCI info in the Game Informer article, so be sure to check it out.
