Marvel or the producers of the the game have looked through these forums and used the mods? Maybe even based some of the new moves on some of the new ones modders have made?
Probably not but I noticed some of Iron Fist's moves looked quite similar. Though they probably just reused Elektra stuff.
They probably checked it out to see what we had done, but i doubt they used some of the mods moves for the new characters.
I'm under the impression that they have the right to use whatever the users of the game (aka us) make for it (at least that's what I think it says on the very first screens when you turn the game on).
Second, if I were a programmer, I'd definitely check the mods, and grab the better ideas, at least as a starting point.
Third, Iron Fist is the only 100% original mod character that's going to be in MUA2. From the rest of the roster:
a) they were originally in MUA1, either out of the box or DLC.
b) their mods were based on their XML appearances (Juggernaut, Gambit, Jean Grey)
c) their mods don't exist (Green Goblin, Songbird, Penance)
so there isn't a lot they could've copied.
Thanks for that Gevth, I was thinking that same thing but was to lazy to type it up.
Yea guess your right Gevth :P
I read somewhere that Iron Fist was going to be a PSP exclusive and he was pulled at the very last minute, so the PSP version of MUA still (apparently) has Iron Fists files on the UMD. They could easily have ripped moves from that.
Shauny's right when looking through the charinfo.xml you can find Iron Fist and Longshot as exculsives for PSP.
And I don't think that they'll look at this website unless they thought "Let's see what the modders and talented people think of us" so it's a maybe for me.

Nope. He and Longshot were mentioned in one place on the UMD, and only one place. So at one time they were planned, but there's nothing left to salvage, and from 10+ years of experience I'd say they weren't very far along if there was nothing left but two mentions in one file.
Yeah I remember they said how Psylocke was originally to be in the game.

Thanks for clearing that up :D
It's strange that both of those are in charinfo, while the eventual psp exclusives weren't.
That is weird. Perhaps when those two were scrapped the other four were put in. What does charinfo do for the game?
Charinfo is the file that tells the game what characters are available when. You can't simply change the lines for Iron Fist and Longshot, though, as (without mods) they don't exist anywhere else in the game.
Do they still contain there actors (skins)?
Damn... So they removed everything they did of them except charinfo.xml. Come on!
It was probably more like they didn't have anything else to begin with.
Nothing, just scrapped? Is that why they put already made models into the game?
What does it matter? We don't have the files, and legally they cannot give them to us. So whether they were just words in one file or 100% finished it doesn't matter - we'll never get to see what they had. Besides, we have mods for both of those characters, and given what the PSP exclusives were like our mods are probably better.
Besides, we are all going off-topic?

Blaw is right!
I still don't think they'd look in this forum.
Make no mistake, developers look at mods if they know about them. As an admin for multiple sites over the years I've dealt with devs and their 'secret identities' as they prowl the forums to see what good ideas modders had.
That would be cool, searching in forums for the best characters to use.
I hope they didn't steal my Glider idea :P (built in the mesh)
Hah, I don't think so.
Who knows, they probably did.
I doubt it. The glider looks kind of different.
People would of cause change the looks so it doesn't look like it so they think that they made it up them selves.
Yeah but I still doubt it. Did BLaw even release it? I don't remember.
If he did I didn't find the forum.
No I didn't, because there has to be a Goblin mod yet. But I let everybody know how I got the glider working in-game.
Ohhh... SO you'll release it?
