Who are all the Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls characters? Arc System Works has some difficult decisions to make before its 4v4 tag-team fighting game launches, mainly on the character roster front. After all, if Wolverine isn't in this game, we suspect Arc will have to respond to some rather stern emails.
With the Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls easter eggs we've spotted.
Here is every Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls character revealed so far:
- Captain America
- Iron Man
- Ms. Marvel
- Spider-Man
- Star-Lord
- Ghost Rider
- Dr. Doom
- Storm
Captain America
Equipped with his trusty shield, made from a mix of vibranium and adamantium, he's ready to throw down with anyone who gets in his way. The only weapons this man needs are his hands and his shield, using them to great effect to pummel his opponents to a pulp. The only form of projectile you'll be using with Cap is his shield, acting partially as a boomerang that he can use to hit opponents from a distance.
Iron Man
This anime-inspired version of Iron Man has all the gadgets and gizmos Tony Stark is known for. His suit of armor enables him to deal damage using energy blasts and beams, giving him the tools required to keep his distance during combat. He also has an air dash that utilizes the thrusters on his suit, perfect for cros unsuspecting opponents – combine this with a projectile assist to create deadly mix-ups.
Ms. Marvel
Ms. Marvel, also known as Kamala Khan, is ready to grapple her way to victory, taking advantage of her extending limbs to pack a massive punch to her enemies. Taking a closer look at her moveset, she appears to be a grappler, featuring a powerful command grab and a spinning cyclone reminiscent of a popular Russian wrestler.
Spider-Man
Bitten by a radioactive spider as a teen, Peter Parker takes full advantage of his enhanced strength and speed to dazzle his enemies with lightning fast maneuvers. Spider-Man's impressive acrobatic abilities take center stage as he shows off using a range of theatrical attacks. We also see his suit comes packing web shooters, though they aren't used much in the short gameplay we've seen so far.
Star-Lord
As the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Star-Lord specializes in ranged combat, sporting a variety of weapons in his arsenal to blow his opponents away. He has his legendary blasters, a large grenade launcher, and a freeze ray to stop enemies in their tracks by turning them into a lump of ice. Star-Lord also appears to be quite mobile, springing into action with his rocket-powered boots to quickly jump behind enemies.
Ghost Rider
Roberto 'Robbie' Reyes takes on the Ghost Rider mantle, whipping enemies from a distance using his Hellfire Chain. Ghost Rider looks to be a heavy hitter, capable of bouncing his opponents off the ground using his fire-imbued chain. Speaking of which, fire appears to be a large part of his arsenal, utilizing it as both a defensive and offensive tool.
Dr. Doom
Dr. Doom may be the slowest character we've seen so far, at least in of his walk speed, but he more than makes up for this with an instant teleport dash to get out of harm's way. He appears to take advantage of orbital strikes, capable of tracking opponents as they walk around the battlefield.
Storm
The final character reveal from Sony's summer State of Play event, Storm's appearance confirms that at least one of the X-Men will be on the Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls roster. As a master of the elements, Storm deals damage using wind, electricity, and ice attacks to inflict pain onto her targets. Her attacks appear to have large hit boxes, so she could be excellent at hurting any assist characters who happen to be called out at the wrong time.
Potential Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls characters
As highlighted by Takeshi Yamanaka, producer at Arc System Works on the PlayStation blog, he stated there's a certain set of criteria that any potential character must fulfill to be added to the roster. In addition to having characters who give the developers plenty to work with in of battle types, they want characters who have never been playable in a fighting game before, and those who are the 'face' of Marvel.
Based on the easter eggs we've seen in the gameplay so far, coupled with these crucial details about the criteria characters must meet, there are some standout fighters that we feel could be coming to the game.
Here's a list of the potential characters coming to Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls:
- Thor
- Daredevil
- Black Widow (Yelena Belova)
- The Winter Soldier
- Mr. Fantastic
- Black Panther
- The Punisher
- Vision
All these characters are heavily involved in the current and Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and TV shows, so it would make sense if Arc tried to add some relevant characters to tie-in with any movies on the release schedule. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to release at the end of 2026, and we can't imagine the developers would miss a golden opportunity like this to build some hype for both the game and the movie.
Those are all the Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls characters revealed so far, but keep an eye out on this guide as we'll be adding more as soon as they're revealed. In the meantime, we'll direct you to our best multiplayer games if you fancy something competitive instead.
