    As a result of yesterday's poll, Gwenpool has joined the DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis roster!



    Now, remember when I said that Booster Gold and Gwenpool would be the last characters?


    In a surprise move that I totally spoiled in the thread yesterday, we'll be adding one more character per side to reach a total of 80 characters! We're picking out of a pool of characters who came in second (or if two characters were added, third) in previous rounds but hadn't made it in since, out of the following:



    (top to bottom, left to right: Bane, Etrigan, Red Hood, Killer Frost, Hawkgirl, V, Clayface, Scarecrow, Captain Cold)



    (top to bottom, left to right: Namor, Nightcrawler, the Vision, Adam Warlock, Nico Minoru, Ant-Man, She-Hulk)

    For DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, I've got an unusual situation on my hands - there's a three-way tie for the last Marvel character between Gwenpool (top-left), She-Hulk (top-right), and Adam Warlock (bottom).



    We're having another vote today to decide who gets in. If that vote winds up being tied, I'll figure something out. (maybe I'll just decide randomly - if it's that close, then either people will be happy with whoever gets in or they're so divided that there will be complaints no matter who gets in)
    Megadoomer
    We've added the final DC character for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis - the people voted, and the winner by a landslide was...



    RED TORNADO!

    ...I mean, Booster Gold! (last time I do that "mistaking his name" joke, I swear)

    As well, here are the nominees for the final Marvel character of the game:


    Top to bottom, left to right: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Adam Warlock, Kang the Conqueror, She-Hulk, the Winter Soldier, Nightcrawler, Taskmaster, and Gwenpool

    We're voting on them today, and after that, it's just a few more things to wrap up before the thread is done! (though it will still be open in case anyone has ideas for interactions and whatnot)

    This is going to be an image-heavy profile post today; for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we finished off the boss line-up with Frieza!

    We're nominating the final stage for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis - a One Piece stage! We've got two nominations so far - the Thousand Sunny (the ship of the Straw Hats) and Marineford (the site of a major turning point in the series).

    We're also nominating the final DLC costume pack. We'll likely have the guest boss nominations tomorrow.
    Megadoomer
    Today for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're nominating a Dragon Ball stage, along with Goku and Luffy's rivals.

    Admittedly, Goku has a really, really obvious pick for a rival (Superman, given how much people on the internet have argued over who would win in a fight between the two for an extremely long time), but there are still plenty of options for all of these categories! (so far, the Dragon Ball stages that have been nominated are Planet Namek and the World Martial Arts Tournament arena)
    Megadoomer
    The last two guest characters for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis are Goku from Dragon Ball and Luffy from One Piece!



    The guest line-up for this hypothetical roster probably isn't the most realistic...



    ...and the difference in tone between Spawn and Luffy alone would probably give some people whiplash, but even if I'm not familiar with all of the characters in here (I only know Spawn from his Mortal Kombat appearance, and I've only seen the first episode of Invincible), I'm happy with all of these inclusions.
    Megadoomer
    We got a lot of nominations for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis's final guest round.



    Top to bottom, left to right: Charlie Brown and Snoopy, Kamen Rider Double, Kamen Rider Decade, Space Ghost, Big Head/The Mask, Izuku Midoriya (My Hero Academia), Luffy (One Piece), Mermaid Man (Spongebob), the Dragon (Savage Dragon), Judge Dredd, WordGirl, Kick-Ass, Captain Underpants, Goku (Dragon Ball)

    It's a varied line-up, to say the least, and we'll see how the voting turns out!
    Megadoomer
    DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis has added its second-to-last Marvel character: Moon Knight!



    Unfortunately, getting into this roster will get him no closer to getting his money back from Dracula.

    Today, we're nominating costumes for Moon Knight, along with arcade mode rivals for Peacemaker and Moon Knight. I'm thinking that the guest character round will start on Friday, but we'll see how it goes.
    Megadoomer
    For DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we've added Peacemaker to the roster! (if you had told me three years ago that I'd be making a DC vs. Marvel game concept that would have Peacemaker as part of the roster, and that people would be excited over his inclusion, I'd likely say "who's Peacemaker?" Definitely shows how far the character's come thanks to James Gunn)



    It also gave me an excuse to post a song that's been stuck in my head since I watched the Peacemaker show.

    As well, we're voting on which Avengers member to include, out of the following options:


    Top to bottom, left to right: Moon Knight, Luke Cage, Ant-Man (Hank Pym), She-Hulk, Gwenpool, Black Knight
    Megadoomer
    I normally wouldn't make two separate profile posts about a job for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, but the Avengers nominations are surprisingly quiet. We've only had three nominations in almost 24 hours (though to be fair, two separate people nominated the same character, so it's more like four), even though we're missing characters like...

    • The Vision: arguably one of the faces of the franchise (he was used as the icon of the series for a while), who has ties to several playable characters (Scarlet Witch, Ultron), has a wide array of abilities, and hasn't been in a fighting game before
    • Hawkeye (Clint Barton): a long-running member of the team who was one of the core six Avengers in the MCU. (we have Kate Bishop in the roster, so I can see why people might want to go in a different direction)
    • Black Widow: much like Hawkeye, she's one of the core six Avengers in the MCU
    • Quicksilver: weirdly enough, I don't think he's been nominated a single time, even though his sister and father both made it into the base game
    • Beast: a founding X-Men member and a long-running member of the Avengers
    • She-Hulk: a fun character with some great potential interactions who just had a show of her own
    • Captain America (Sam Wilson): either as Captain America or as the Falcon; his jetpack and his control over birds give him plenty to work with
    I could go on and on, especially if we're counting teams like the West Coast Avengers and the Avengers Unity Division from Uncanny Avengers in here. I'm not sure why it's quiet (character jobs are generally the most popular, and we're nearing the end when it comes to deciding on the roster, though maybe I jumped to a new character job too quickly), but I figure I should try to bring more attention to this thread.

    We're voting on street level DC characters for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis today, out of the following:


    Top to bottom, left to right: Red Hood, Huntress, Question, Peacemaker, Katana

    We're also nominating Avengers members; we've got quite a few of them (especially if you include premiere costumes), but we're still missing out on plenty of mainstays like Ant-Man, She-Hulk, Black Widow, or the Vision.
    Megadoomer
    For DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're nominating street level DC characters; most of the well-known ones are Batman characters, but there are still others like Peacemaker, the Question, the Ted Kord version of Blue Beetle, etc., along with various villains and assorted anti-heroes.
    Megadoomer
    We're nominating the final DC stage of the game for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis today.

    Also, I'm going to see One Piece: Film Red tomorrow (surprisingly, it's showing in the theater nearest to me, which rarely if ever happens with anime movies - the only time in recent years was with Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero), and I'm hoping to see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on Saturday. (it will depend on whether the show times coincide with my work schedule)
    Megadoomer
    Today, for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're voting on the Beyond Human category for Marvel. The only rules were no humans and no mutants, and we wound up getting a vampire, a robot, an alien dragon, a swamp monster, a being from another dimension, and Adam Warlock.



    (I'm not entirely sure how to describe Adam Warlock)

    We're also nominating rewards for beating two of the bosses, Amazo from DC and Galactus from Marvel.
    Megadoomer
    Today on DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're voting on an anti-hero to include out of the following:



    Top to bottom, left to right: Red Hood, Peacemaker, V (from V for Vendetta), Lobo, Metamorpho, Booster Gold

    We're also nominating the last Marvel boss for the game. (we currently have the Beyonder and Knull)
    Megadoomer
    For DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're having another X-Men DLC round, and here are the nominees:



    Top to bottom, left to right: Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, Psylocke, Phoenix, Archangel, Gwenpool, Magik, Cable

    So far, this is a pretty close one. We're also nominating a DC character to serve as a boss. (So far, the only ones that we have are the Anti-Monitor and the Batman Who Laughs)
    Megadoomer
    The winner of yesterday's vote, and the first character in season 3 of DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, is Static of Static Shock fame!



    I don't think this result was shocking to anyone who checked the thread; he got roughly twice as many points as the second place person. (I've used that pun twice and I regret it both times haha)

    Today, we're nominating his moveset and costumes, along with voting on the moveset for the Ninja Turtles and voting on premiere costumes for Star-Lord and the Ninja Turtles.
    Megadoomer
    Here are the nominees for DC's people of colour round for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis.



    (top to bottom, left to right: Vixen, Bane, Static, Aqualad, Black Bat, Black Manta, Katana)

    Admittedly, one character's winning by quite a bit at the moment, but it couldn't hurt to participate. We're also nominating premiere costumes for the second half of season 2. (Lois Lane, Star-Lord, Spawn, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
    Megadoomer
    We're kicking off season three of DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis by nominating people of colour from DC's comics! We're... a little lacking on that front when it comes to DC, to say the least.



    -Cyborg
    -Black Adam
    -Blue Beetle
    -Nubia (premiere costume for Wonder Woman)
    -John Stewart (premiere costume for Green Lantern)

    Ra's al Ghul might count, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

    As of now, only Static (of Static Shock fame) and Black Manta (Aquaman's arch-enemy) have been nominated, so there are still plenty of options.
    Megadoomer
    We've got season 3 roughly planned out for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis (we're ending it off with one extra character for both companies, so there will be ten characters total in the last season - four Marvel, four DC, and two guests), so today, we're voting on which themes we'll be using for the character rounds. We're voting on guest bosses between Shredder and Krang:



    On top of that, we're also coming up with movesets and stages for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles today.
    Megadoomer
    For DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're nominating themes for the third and final DLC season today, along with nominating a boss from one of the guest series.

    While I figure we could keep going and going with this (there's no shortage of characters), three seasons with eight characters, four stages, and sixteen costumes each seems like a lot, realistically speaking, and we have to stop somewhere.
    Megadoomer
    We've added our next two guest characters for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis...



    ...Spawn and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

    This finishes off our second season of DLC!


    -Poison Ivy
    -The Sentry
    -Gorilla Grodd
    -Ultron
    -Lois Lane
    -Star-Lord
    -Spawn
    -the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    It was a controversial one at times, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
    Megadoomer
    Here's the second round of guest character nominations for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis:



    Top to bottom, left to right: Spawn, Kamen Rider Kuuga, Hellboy, Billy Butcher (The Boys), Optimus Prime, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Judge Dredd, WordGirl, the Fourth Doctor (Doctor Who), Megamind, Vriska (Homestuck), Deku (My Hero Academia), Luffy (One Piece)
    Megadoomer
    We're moving on to guest characters for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis - last time, we added Scott Pilgrim from Scott Pilgrim and Mark Grayson/Invincible from Invincible, so there's a lot of untapped potential for this round! (as long as they're comic book characters and/or superhero characters, they're eligible)

    We're also nominating arcade mode rivals for Lois Lane and Star-Lord, and voting on costumes for Star-Lord.
    Megadoomer
    We're nearing the end of season 2 for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, with the last Marvel character of the season being Star-Lord!



    We'll be doing the next batch of guest characters in the next few days, and shortly after that, we'll move on to the third and final season of DLC!

    Today, we're nominating a moveset and costumes for Star-Lord.

    Are we going to do an Ultimate edition with 8-10 brand new characters (please) 🥺
    Megadoomer
    Megadoomer
    Haha we could probably keep going with three more seasons of DLC and have 100 characters total (there are certainly more than enough options on both sides - we've barely even touched the various Lantern Corps., and there are a ton of Avengers that we could include like Hawkeye/Clint Barton, the Vision, Ant-Man, Black Widow, She-Hulk, etc., on top of countless other characters like Blade, Namor, Black Manta, Hawkgirl, various X-Men, and so on), but I figure that we need to stop somewhere.

    (plus, 24 DLC characters, 12 stages, and 48 costumes seems like it would be a lot as it is)

    I think the idea is atleast worth considering if there is demand for certain characters afterwards
    MvC3 did as such after all

    Today, for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're nominating a cosmic Marvel character. Here's a list of cosmic events/comics that I found, in case that helps to inspire anyone; as of now, the only ones who qualify are Thanos, Rocket Raccoon (and Groot), and Captain Marvel. (and maybe Thor and Loki, if we're counting modern Thor as cosmic)
    Megadoomer
    Our newest character for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis is also one of our oldest characters, having been around since 1938. Predating even Batman, our next character on the roster is Lois Lane!



    She got in thanks to a really inventive moveset proposal by PinkFlare PinkFlare , and I'm glad she did. Much like Starro the Conqueror, Lois Lane (now there's a sentence fragment that I never thought I'd type) is a bit of an out-there pick, but one with a lot of history, and the out-there picks can allow for people to get really creative and keep the roster from feeling bland/safe/predictable. (this one mixed elements of Phoenix Wright's moveset in UMvC3, April O'Neil's moveset in recent TMNT/Nickelodeon games, and investigative journalism)
    Megadoomer
    Today for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're nominating women from DC for the DLC roster. At the moment, we've got:



    -Wonder Woman
    -Harley Quinn
    -Raven
    -Zatanna
    -Black Canary
    -Catwoman
    -Power Girl
    -Poison Ivy
    -Nubia (premiere costume for Wonder Woman)
    -Superwoman (premiere costume for Wonder Woman)
    -Supergirl (premiere costume for Power Girl)
    (Big Barda's a part of Mister Miracle's moveset)

    Aside from them, any other DC woman qualifies.
