No idea how Marvel got the ensemble rights back from Activision, but it's definitely happening, and the embargo on the Capcom event where it was officially announced is supposed to expire in about 8 hours.
Here, have a leaked trailer. (http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=161ixqw&s=5)
According to the site where I first saw the leak, the confirmed characters are Wolverine, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, and Deadpool for Marvel, and Ryu, Chun-Li, Morrigan, Chris Redfield, and Viewtiful Joe for Capcom. Also, the silhouette second from left behind the Marvel logo really looks like Doctor Doom to me, but I could be imagining it. The MT Framework, for those of you who don't have absurd amounts of esoteric game trivia knowledge, is the Lost Planet/Dead Rising engine, which means this will almost certainly be PS3/360 and possibly PC as well.
Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 (???) was also supposedly announced at this event, as well as a confirmation that Okamiden is coming to the US, but those obviously weren't as hyped as MvC3 so I don't have solid video confirmation of that yet.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Apparently the producer is the same guy that was behind Tatsunoko vs Capcom. This is a very good thing, because TvC is rad as hell.
-
Welp, here's the BC:R2 trailer. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbLg1AI4OOM)
Fatshark is at least part of the team that made the first game, but not all of it as there is another studio of ex-GRIN guys kicking around Stockholm doing who knows what. Hopefully they have the guy who did the music on board; I only got through a few levels of BC:R because it was really fucking hard, but it has some kickass music.
Also: the part of the MvC3 trailer that shows RE5-era Chris fighting Hulk makes me really really really hope that Chris has an Ultra where he punches a boulder, because that would be fucking hysterical. I would main a team of 3 Chrises if they did that, I don't care what fucking tier he is.

Embargo's up, so here's what we know:
Final roster will be approximately 30 characters.
Confirmed 3D models on 2D plane, like Street Fighter 4.
Teams are 3 on 3 like MvC2 instead of the 2 on 2 from TvC.
The leaked list of characters was apparently fake (or at least only inferred from the silhouettes behind the logos in the trailer, because Capcom is only confirming the 6 characters in the trailer right now (Wolverine, Iron Man, Hulk, Ryu, Morrigan, and Chris). However, they've also released a bunch of art with more silhouettes, which has led to a bunch of crazy speculation, including some comic characters I've never fucking heard of.
So rumored characters include:
Marvel: Deadpool, Captain America, Black Widow, Super Skrull (?), Mephisto
Capcom: Felicia, Frank West, Dante (or possibly Nero, they look almost identical after all), Seth
Also the bad news: release date is 'Spring 2011', for 360 and PS3. So it's at best a year off.
-
30 characters seems a little underwhelming. It's not bad by any means, but it's not half as over the top as Marvel feels like it deserves. As long as I can do Doom/Magneto/M. Bison I'll be happy though.
With SSF4 next week and KoF 13 near the end of this year and BlazBlue CS whenever that happens as well as TvC not showing signs of getting old any time soon I think I can wait a year for MvC3.
-
Considering that they're making full 3D models for all of those characters instead of just sprites, and they're probably going to record VO for them all as well, I think 30 is a completely reasonable size for the roster. It'd be nice if it were as massive as MvC2's roster so they could explore all the really weird shit both companies have.
Mostly I just want Gene from God Hand, especially if one of his Ultras is the Ball Buster.
Other news about already announced games:
Dead Rising 2 has two-player online co-op in the story mode in addition to previously announced multiplayer modes. Both players play as Chuck Greene, and the game's cutscenes do not account for there being two people. Only the host's storyline progress is saved, but the visiting player keeps all the PP he earned in the game.
Case Zero is a downloadable prologue for DR2 that bridges the gap between the two games. You still play as Chuck, and his daughter is somehow involved. Since she's not mentioned in any of the material about DR2 itself, I'm guessing something happens to her which serves as Chuck's primary motivation for the events in the main game.
DR2 finally has a release date: August 31st. Presumably Case Zero will come out slightly before then, but I don't think Capcom said specifically.
Lost Planet 2 will have more player skins that unlock based on your save files of other Capcom games.
-
Word is they've been working on this since the Summer of 2008
-
I wouldn't be surprised. People are assuming that the Activision-Marvel deal expired at the beginning of this year, which would explain why it took Capcom so long to officially announce it.
-
Deadpool's Ultra's are going to be absolutely crazy.
-
Here's a trailer for Okamiden (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3178897) from 1 Up
Also this

-
It always hits me as a missed opportunity whenever there's concept art of this stuff that doesn't prominently feature Blanka snarling at Hulk. May the best green dude win.
-
And just to head it off, no, I haven't looked into the news any, so I have no idea if Blanka is even in there. I just think it'd make for a good splash page.
-
I think that 3d models should be a lot quicker than 60fps sprites in glorious HD. After you've got the basic model down it's all modifying it for the animations, but with sprites there's still a lot more creating to do.I think a lot more people have 3d modelling skills than sprite skills these days.
edit- SRK, the big Street Fighter community website, has hilarious comments on it's news posts. I have never seen what I hope is just a vocal minority condemn a new game for such dumb reasons so quickly.
-
Ah, nerds. Never change.

Ha, you're obviously green to video game news sites.
-
That poster makes me imagine that Hulk is what Chris looks like with less hair and just a tiny bit more boulder punch.
Or gamma crush. Whatever the fuck they call it these days.
-
I am going to be on the cock-end of nerd rage here but I am tired of Ryu. Capcom, try a different poster boy.
Otherwise, I am excited as the dickens.
-
Ryu, Chun Li and Morrigan are characters you will never get away from in vs games. It's just one of those constants of the universe. I really hope they cram Alex in there too though.
I have a more serious wish list for a team that would suit me and it's Kitty Pryde, Alex and Guile. I'm not really holding out too much hope for either Guile or Kitty though.
-
4 new characters confirmed (http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/may/08/four-new-marvel-vs-capcom-3-characters-confirmed/)
-
Oh, look, it's Felicia. Shocking.
Anyway, as much as I dislike the character, I'm sorta curious as to what they're going to leave out with Dante, since he's a protagonist from a fighter-esque game in which it is considered perfectly okay to just wreck everyone's shit with stupidly overpowered crap. He's displayed a pretty wide number of abilities throughout the series, particularly in DMC3 when they introduced shit like spawning a clone etc. Still, when you pare his moveset down to the most basic stuff he's always displayed over the years, you still end up with shit like stupidly long reach via his sword, high speed and the ability to juggle at nearly will via a hail of gunfire, so I guess they'll have stuff to work with regardless.
-
Deadpool's teleportation device will comically malfunction if you spam his teleport move. Also, he breaks the fourth wall by beating his opponents with his health bar.

Crap, all I can think of now was how Cable used his guns in the second one. I don't want another Cable.
Also I like Felicia, she goes nice with my other fast moving characters.
-
I don't really mean to hate on Felicia. It's just that a Felicia, Deadpool and Dante confirmation kinda falls under the category of "Tell me something I don't know."
And yeah, my fears about Dante can be summed up as "Fast Cable with obnoxious melee reach." A real priority monster.
-
Also, I love/hate the comment section of that link you posted.
Nice, Dante is in for sure :D nuff reason to buy it right there, good thing stupid little kid wii players wont play this, would ruin the game
I bet you anything that the guy who posted that is 17, tops. Well, at least emotionally, if not physically. I really need to stop reading random internet article comments. No good can ever come from them.

New trailer (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/11/deadpool-and-dante-cross-swords-in-marvel-vs-capcom-3-trailer/) that doesn't show off too much new

Some people are not happy about She Hulk
-
Those people are goddamn idiots.
-
I have no strong feelings about either She Hulk or Zero. The level 3 Hyper where She Hulk throws a car is pretty funny though.
Supposedly there are more announcements coming later this week, but they didn't clarify whether it would be more characters or other stuff like modes or costumes or whatever. Up until now they always revealed characters in groups of 4, though.
-
This has been showing up in Kotaku comments for quite a while and continues to be accurate.
(http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/comment/9/2010/11/df80ca4a65b288f929d6cd9afdbe9a40/340x.jpg)
-
Just got done watching all the videos (http://www.ign.com/videos/games/marvel-vs-capcom-3-ps3-70922) and this is just getting better. I had no idea they were going to be including the likes of Nathan Spencer and what the hell even Arthur from Ghost and Goblins. Mind is blown right now, need to go lay down.
-
Hope that list accurate, at least parts of it. C Viper should fit really well in a Marvel game and Bison/Doom/Magneto is just plain badass.
-
Fake, Shuma-Gorath and Venom are confirmed out and Spider-Woman is not a Spiderman character.
Besides which, there's a more fundamental issue of if that diagram came from Capcom, why wouldn't they have the art for the unconfirmed characters?
E: That being said the Capcom side of that graph is probably mostly accurate. We know there's gonna be a Street Fighter villain which probably means M.Bison unless they put in Akuma or Seth, and C. Viper's and Frank West's silhouettes have been in trailers in the past (West's was in the very first trailer, I think). Haggar was (possibly intentionally) leaked from a Capcom Halloween photodump, although maybe that was just a fakeout who knows. Megaman is obvious, the only characters I think are real stretches are Red Arremer and Strider, because Strider hasn't been in a game in forever and nobody knows who the fuck Red Arremer is. The Marvel side is pretty much all guesswork as far as I can tell. We more or less know Storm is in, but I'm highly skeptical of just about all the other ones there.
That being said, if that list is accurate I'm totally rolling Wesker/Amaterasu/Arthur.
-
Wesker, Amaterasu and Arthur are all confirmed aren't they?
-
Yes, they are. None of the remaining characters on that list would persuade me to change from them though, is what I meant.
Well... maybe Frank West if they got his original voice actor back and his moveset was cooler than in TvC.
-
Double posting because there is some BREAKING NEWS
Gamestop leak confirms MvC3 will have DLC characters. (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=88341#bonusFeatures) The first two are Jill and Shuma-Gorath, and will be included with the Collector's Edition. Indirectly disproves that scanned roster, although I guess the Niitsuma quote about shapeshifting characters being harder to do in polygonal model wasn't as hard-and-fast as I thought. Guessing Jill will be probably completely different from her MvC2 incarnation because they'll probably use the RE5 design to fit in with Wesker and Chris.
-
Apparently Japan fucking loves Shuma-Gorath.
-
Man I wish I got an Xbox instead of a Wii
-
Here's the new list that everyone is referring to as gospel because it accurately predicted the two DLC characters, although I'm still skeptical for reasons I will detail below:
Marvel
Taskmaster (unlock)
Shuma-Gorath (DLC)
She-Hulk
Deadpool
Captain America
X-23
Magneto
Modok
Hulk
Spider-Man
Dr. Doom
Sentinel
Storm
Phoenix/Dark Phoenix
Super Skrull
Dormammu
Wolverine
Iron Man
Thor
Capcom
Amaterasu
Ryu
Rad Spencer
Chun Li
C. Viper
Hsien-ko
Jill (DLC)
Chris
Wesker
Dante
Trish
Arthur
Felicia
Morrigan
Viewtiful Joe
Tron Bonne
Mike Haggar
Akuma (unlock)
Zero
So here's why I'm not 100% buying this list:
1) Niitsuma more or less said outright that some form of Mega Man would be in the game. He's the single most important Capcom character, leaving him off the roster would be like leaving out Spiderman or Wolverine for Marvel. It just makes no sense.
2) Frank West was a silhouette in the very first trailer for the game. Granted, Seth Killian said that not every silhouette ended up making it into the game, but Frank West was already in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and is one of the most popular characters Capcom's introduced in the last 10 years since MvC2 came out. Tweaking him to fit MvC3 would take a lot less effort than building (for example) Spencer or Arthur from scratch.
3) Niitsuma also said more or less outright that there would be no more Darkstalkers characters beyond Felicia and Morrigan. He also heavily implied there would be no more 'shoto' characters besides Ryu because they wanted to make every character play differently, which makes Akuma a puzzling addition.
It's also several characters short of the 42 number that has been the rumor for months, even if you include the two DLC characters that will be hitting a full month after the game releases. I don't know anything about the Marvel side so I can't speak about its accuracy. Mostly I'm just hoping it's fake because I really want Frank West and Strider to be in the game.
Oh, and a little detail I forgot to mention: Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will be released on February 15th, 2011.
-
I think it would be really cool to have Hsien-ko, but where's my J. Talbain Capcom?

Nah, I'm still going with the scanned roster and just assuming Red Arremer got replaced with Jill sometime between then and now.
-
I already explained why the scanned roster was bullshit, and it's even more bullshit now that we know Jill is in.
Also, in the quote where Niitsuma seemed to deconfirm any more Darkstalkers beyond the first two, he mentioned that Talbain was his next choice, but they knew that because Darkstalkers is largely unknown in the West that they couldn't use too much of the roster space on characters from that series.
-
Yes. You said it was bullshit because two characters were on it that are "not going to be in it"- one of whom is now confirmed to be in it, the other being one of Marvel's most well known villains.
I don't place much stock in your argument.
-
I think it would be really cool to have Hsien-ko, but where's my J. Talbain Capcom?
Female characters are where it's at in Japan so us Talbain players are boned.
-
Yes. You said it was bullshit because two characters were on it that are "not going to be in it"- one of whom is now confirmed to be in it, the other being one of Marvel's most well known villains.
I don't place much stock in your argument.
And yet, it now has a confirmed missing character!
Like I said, if that roster really came from Capcom, why would they be missing their own art assets?
-
Also Iron Fist. COME ON MARVEL, IRON FIST, PROMOTE THAT NEW HERO'S FOR HIRE!!!
Also I've seen Galactus added to the top of that list as a boss character.
-
Yeah I forgot to mention that. Galactus is apparently the final boss. But really, who gives a shit about the storyline bosses in MvC?
-
Here's another list
* Wolverine
* Ryu
* Dr. Doom
* Chun-Li
* Magneto
* M. Bison
* Iron Man/War Machine
* Morrigan
* Super Skrull
* Felicia
* Taskmaster
* Hsien-Ko
* Storm
* Mega Man EXE/Classic
* Ultron
* Zero
* Squirrel Girl
* Tron Bonne
* Deadpool
* Dante
* Captain America
* Trish
* Hulk
* Chris Redfield
* X-23
* Albert Wesker
* Dormammu
* Viewtiful Joe
* Thor
* Amaterasu
* Hawkeye
* Arthur
* She-Hulk
* Mike Haggar*
* Misty Knight
* Nathan Spencer
* Spider-woman
* Strider
* Spider-man
* Frank West/Chuck Greene
* M.O.D.O.K.
* Tessa
* Iron Fist
* Red Arremer
* Thanos
* Victor Delacroix
* Amatsu-Mikaboshi
* Soki/Samanosuke
With another two being Emma Frost and Juggernaut
-
Squirrel Girl was deconfirmed by Killian and that list still has Hsien-Ko on it. Also, it seems way too big although I didn't count how many there were exactly.
-
Double posting again, but I figured some people who haven't been following videos of this game obsessively like me might want to see this: a video of (nearly) every Hyper combo for the currently revealed characters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeYB4gZ2GS0). No Jill or Shuma there yet, obviously, and it's also missing Morrigan's where she creates a duplicate of herself and one of Felicia's that I can't remember offhand because who gives a shit about Felicia. Some of them are a little low quality because they came from streams/cam videos rather than actual trailers, but it's the closest I've seen to all of them in one place.

God I hope so. I would love to kick some friends around with Howard the Duck. The rage would be unending.
-
Man that is what I have been hoping for. That would be so amazing.
-
I really want Rocket Raccoon instead of Howard the Duck
-
Fuck you.
-
Some cool shit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6qzKkFOR7w). Starting to see some of the advanced stuff like people using assists in combos.
Spencer's looking really good.
-
We'll know more once he's actually in a build playable to the public. They still haven't even gotten a build with the TGS characters (Wesker, Tron, Spidey, and X-23) in front of people yet, although supposedly that's going to be the one at LA Fight Club on Saturday.
-
Just now caught up on this--the fact that they're including Modok and Super Skrull is really kind of mind-blowing.
-
awwwwwwww snap (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-12-09-storm-and-c-viper-confirmed-for-mvc3)
Viper looks good as hell
p.s. jordan strider was recently deconfirmed so that scanned roster is definitely fake and you can eat me
this is literally the only joy i can take from strider not being in the game
-
Oh sweet.
It's weird though that, after hoping C Viper would be in this for so long, when she get's her reveal the thing I'm most excited about is Ryu's got his wallbounce kick.
-
In slightly related news, this is coming out next week (http://kotaku.com/5710870/clearing-up-when-x+men-gets-here-and-what-it-costs)
-
Some dude is leaking a ton of info about the game on Twitter. (http://twitter.com/klennox22) No proof that it's legit of course, but it's all pretty specific so it definitely sounds real. If this guy is for real then the previously rumored roster with Hsien-ko, Haggar, Akuma, Phoenix, Sentinel, and Taskmaster, with Galactus as the final boss is the real roster.
Some interesting tidbits for people who doesn't want to read the whole thing:
Hsien-ko and Phoenix will be the characters revealed this weekend at Jump Festa, the rumor about Phoenix being revived as buffed Dark Phoenix if Hyper bar is maxed is apparently true.
Capcom was originally going to bring back Venom and Cyclops but they were nixed by Marvel.
Human Torch was originally going to be in the game, but the constant flame effects + his specials/supers was just too much memory consumption and caused online lag, so he was cut and his work was rolled into Super Skrull and Phoenix. Marvel suggested Super Skrull in the first place after they encountered this problem.
Frank West was also in the game and then cut for 'technical reasons', apparently his zombie-related moves also caused a lot of online lag due to memory consumption. Sounds like he won't make it back in as DLC either. Frank being cut meant that somebody from Marvel needed to be taken out to keep the sides even, which ended up being Shuma-Gorath. So Shuma's done but Jill isn't, but it doesn't sound like either will be on the disc or anything like that.
Mega Man was cut pretty early on, surprisingly. He apparently just 'didn't add enough' to the game as a fighting game character. He was replaced by Arthur.
Niitsuma loves Darkstalkers just like every other dude at Capcom Japan, which is why we ended up with 3 DS characters.
Characters that were considered but didn't make it in: Juggernaut, Silver Surfer, Thanos, Elektra, Strider, and M. Bison. Doc Ock and Blade were also considered, but left out because of too much similarity to Spencer and Chris/Dante respectively. Possible that some of them might make it in as DLC, but who knows.
-
I spent literally three minutes trying to figure out who the third Darkstalkers character was before I remembered that Felicia exists.
-
Yyyyyyyyyyyyup. Judging by the public footage we've seen so far, I think Felicia might be the least used character of the entire roster. Haggar might be close though, considering the general weakness of grapplers in MvC.
-
Hsien-ko was my second choice from Darkstalkers if they didn't get Talban
And man I use Felicia all the time. She's part of my Fast Attack group with Spider-man and Wolverine. Also there's that sense of humiliation when they get killed by a half naked cat-girl.
-
Apparently the Twitter leak and the one that popped up after the first one was taken down were fake. Dude faked it pretty well, to his credit.
-
p.s. jordan strider was recently deconfirmed so that scanned roster is definitely fake and you can eat me
this is literally the only joy i can take from strider not being in the game
See I'm starting to think you might not be very good at critical thought because you keep talking about WHY WOULDN'T CAPCOM HAVE THEIR OWN ART ASSETS and the obvious answer to that would be BECAUSE IT'S A SCREENSHOT FROM A PRELIMINARY VERSION BEFORE IT WAS COMPLETELY FINALIZED and I can't help but notice we now have one Capcom character not on that list confirmed and one Capcom character on that list deconfirmed(and implied he was planned but then scrapped) and so far everything else is still lining up.
Basically I'm still holding out for Howard the Duck come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
-
I feel like we should make a bet about this if you're going to malign my critical thinking when the evidence is currently in my favor. If you really think Howard the Duck and Red Arremer are going to make it in then put your money where your mouth is.
-
I understand why they wouldn't but I really wish Amingo would have made the cut. He may have been an MVC original, but damn was he ever fun to use.
-
Some Marvel artist fucked up and leaked panels from the MvC3 comic that show Taskmaster and Galactus (http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/dec/26/galactus-and-taskmaster-shown-mvc-comic/). That certainly implies that the NeoGAF roster is accurate, and that the remaining characters to be announced are Sentinel, Taskmaster, Phoenix, Hsien-ko, Haggar, and Akuma. I know I'm being picky, but I could think of about a dozen Capcom characters I'd rather see than any of those three. Oh well.
-
I would really love to see Son Son and Amingo back, fuck that pirate lady, but I am pretty happy with Taskmaster. I see him playing like Spiral did last game, or just straight up copying the move set of the people he is facing like Mokujin.
-
For real. Why couldn't they just take the risk everybody would have loved and added Phoenix Wright. Also if they were detemined to put in more Street Fighter characters they should have put in Dudley or someone else who hasn't been in a million games already.
-

Apparently he's kind of like Seth from SF4 in that his moveset is kind of a mashup of a bunch of other characters, but he doesn't specifically copy the moves of the character he's facing.
Also, I would complain about the number of Street Fighter characters except that all of them except Ryu look really good and fun to play, so whatever. I especially want to try out Viper, obviously she hasn't been seen outside the videos Capcom released but she looks awesome.
-
Oh lord, saying, "Like Seth," makes me hate him already.
Though I hope they put in his Udon costume.
-
Oh hay there

And also this. If it's a Photoshop, it's better than most of the ones I've seen up until now.
(http://img413.imageshack.us/i/akumat.jpg/)
So far the second leaked list is batting 1.000, so if that is to be believed the final four characters will be Sentinel, Taskmaster, Hsien-ko, and Akuma.
It's just a little over a month away...
-
This just in, everyone and their mother called it.
Some people are throwing around Green Goblin, which might be interesting. Then again i heard the only reason they didn't put in Silver Surfer was because they didn't want to take him off his board, and the floating would be obnoxious, so who knows.
-
I hope one of She-Hulk's costumes will be her legal outfit.
-
Here (http://www.destructoid.com/marvel-vs-capcom-3-extravaplosion--190882.phtml) are some of the variants for the costumes
-
Why can't they do interesting alternate costumes instead of palette swaps?
Look at the Iron Man variants. How many different models of the Iron Man armor are there? Why can't they just do those? The only one that looks like they even tried is Spider-Man. Yeah, I realize it means a lot of extra work making new polygonalblahblahblah but they did it for SSF4 so bite me Capcom gimme something better.
-
And they will. For the low low price of $2 per character!
-
That's what I was hoping for, ie different costumes instead of color swaps. For some they did pretty good, like Spider-man, Cap, and She-Hulk, but others are just pallet swaps.
But oh my god MODOK has his color design from MODOK's Super 11
-
So one of Haggar's supers goes for 9 seconds. That's cool the first couple of times and make cool promo videos but it kinda sucks for playing. I think I'm increasingly looking forward to KoFXIII more than Marvel, partly because of that.
-
Nobody's gonna play Haggar so I wouldn't worry about it. Although Viper's level 3 goes for a pretty long time too.

All of Iron Man's alts are different models of the armor, or at least the color schemes are meant to evoke other models. Original buckethead suit, stealth suit, and Silver Centurion suit according to Marvel.

Just doing the color schemes sorta highlights what Ozy is saying though, really. The shape of his armor has varied more than the color has, so it's a bit weird to see.
-
So you expect them to create and animate 4 different polygonal models per character, then. Keep dreamin', I guess.
-
Yeah, I realize it means a lot of extra work making new polygonalblahblahblah but they did it for SSF4 so bite me Capcom gimme something better.
-
Man, palette swaps are older than half the posters on this forum. We get why they happen. Doesn't make them any less boring to look at.
-
Games take time and money to make and I guess I think prioritizing making the gameplay fun is more important? I'm sure Capcom is very excited to sell costumes piecemeal after the fact either way.
-
Wesker...
:psyduck:

Hm
-
Akuma should be good fun. Like Morrigan with a real dash.
-
Yeah, at this point I think we can pretty much accept the Lupinko leak as fact because it's been 100% right so far if the Akuma/Taskmaster leaks haven't been Photoshopped. Possible, but they aren't traceable back to existing comic/game assets like most other 'leaks', or at least haven't been yet.
Still hoping Strider makes it in as DLC.
-
Hey (http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/01/17/marvel-vs-capcom-3-akuma-introduction-trailer?objectid=70921)
look what we have here (http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/01/17/marvel-vs-capcom-3taskmaster-introduction-trailer)
NeoGAF leak remains 100% accurate, unless he missed some characters the only ones left unconfirmed by Capcom are Hsien-ko and Sentinel. Taskmaster looks kind of interesting even though his dialogue sucks and his voice acting is one of the worst I've heard in the game so far. Akuma... meh. The part where he used his level 3 to catch Doom through Photon Array was neat.
Also, the Akuma trailer features him fighting what is presumed to be a Herald-ized virtue of Doom. Looks like the final boss in single player will be Silver Surfer versions of Doom and Wesker, then Galactus himself.
-
Oh god full screen demons through supers. Akuma's so totally on my team.
-
Taskmasters ending animation makes me think of Soul Caliber
-
Sentinel disconfirmed (http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/jan/22/sentinel-disconfirmed-niitsuma-marvel-vs-capcom-3/)
Fuck, they should have put at least one of these guys in
(http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5663/powerstone.jpg)
-
Huh, if Sentinel is disconfirmed that's the first thing Lupinko has gotten wrong so far. I wonder if it was just a mistranslation or if something changed.
-
Some people are saying it's an effort in misdirection, or trolling, on his part. Like they're pissed that everyone knows pretty much every character before they announced it and want to put attention off of it.
-
RUMOR
I know that Talbain, Frank, Wright, and Venom have all been considered for DLC from official sources.
-
Photos of Sentinel have leaked from some German magazine's review, as well as the final character select screen which shows Hsien-ko. Some dude from Capcom said the next character reveals should come next week, where they'll confirm what we've already known for months.
As for DLC, Frank and Talbain were singled out specifically by Niitsuma as being characters that were considered for the game but cut, the former because they couldn't make his moveset satisfactorily interesting and the latter because they didn't want to put too many Darkstalkers in because nobody in America gives a fuck about any of them except for maybe Morrigan. You'd think that they would have stopped before 3 in that case, but apparently literally everyone who works for Capcom Japan loves the shit out of Darkstalkers, so whatever. Wright and Venom I'm a little more skeptical about, because they were apparently ruled out fairly early on in the process. Then again there are apparently a lot of people who really, really want Phoenix Wright in the game, so maybe Capcom will make it work to milk some cash out of people. The devs are refusing to comment officially on DLC beyond Jill and Shuma except to confirm that they're definitely doing it.

Here's a clearer pic of Sentinel, no in-game shots of Hsien-ko yet.

Sentinel disconfirmed (http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/jan/22/sentinel-disconfirmed-niitsuma-marvel-vs-capcom-3/)
Niitsuma is a damn liar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqFid6xqGyE)
-
Apparently it was actually a translation issue rather than him lying.
Regardless, here's the Hsien-ko reveal, (http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/hsien-ko-joins-mvc3-character-list) and a bunch (http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/mvc3s-sentinel-takes-the-stage) of (http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/uninterrupted-hsien-ko-gameplay) match (http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/sentinel-serves-mvc3-fighters) videos (http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/more-sentinel-hsien-ko-mvc3-footage) featuring the two, courtesy of Eurogamer. Hsien-ko looks much more interesting than I expected. Sentinel is Sentinel, but apparently they nerfed him by slowing him down and removing both his super armor and the crazy chip damage from his normals.

I totally should have made Jordan puts some actual money on the line there.
Also, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJxzu3mCzx8) might be one of the better match videos I've seen.
-
So? One week. Everybody have their team line up chosen?
-
Thinkin' Spencer, Storm, Super Skrull. I just can't be bothered dealing with turtly keep away characters so either bring them here, chip to death wherever they are just grab them from half screen.
It really depends on a lot of things though. I'll probably play a hundred different teams before I settle on something. There's a lot of characters I really want to try.
-
The first team I want to try is Wesker (Samurai Edge), Viper (Burning Kick), Amaterasu (Cold Star). I want to at least mess around with everyone, though.
Except Ryu.
-
Today I payed off half of the game and was asked if I wanted the strategy guide. The guide would help me, "Learn which teams go well together against other teams." Wouldn't that take away most of the fun finding that out on your own?
Some more alt costumes (http://fans.marvel.com/marvel_interactive/blog/2011/02/09/marvel_vs._capcom_3:_the_final_9_marvel_alternates) and where they come from
-
Based on a video I saw today I think my worry of Capcom not making character specific endings can be put to rest.
-
All the characters have their own endings, but they're just static images and text, no video or voiceover. Haggar's involves him being elected President and having a meeting with Chris Redfield and Captain America in the Oval Office, so that rules. She-Hulk's apparently has cameos by Phoenix Wright and Daredevil, which is kind of funny.
-
Oh god Galactus is hard as fuck. Like final form of Onslaught hard as fuck, except Capcom likes to make their final bosses real annoying as of late.
-
I can't dodge any goddamn thing Galactus does. My entire strategy for him is OH MY GOD HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT AW COME FUCKING ONNNNNNNNNNNNNN
-
I think you're supposed to sit there and take it, then counter attack when the time arrives. It was pretty stressful.
-
Just got home from work to find my copy waiting for me, it's installing right now. I think I'm gonna swap out Viper for Chun Li on my first team, because apparently Viper's a pretty difficult character to learn.
-
I think you're supposed to sit there and take it, then counter attack when the time arrives. It was pretty stressful.
Gah. But what about characters whose main shtick is priority? :psyduck:
-
Blocking stuff you can't really deal with is a very important skill in fighting games.
-
Well, obviously, but oftentimes characters with stuff like speed and decent priority tend to pay for it in other areas. That could be kinda stinky if Galactus is mostly some dude you have punish before dying to chip damage. Anyway, I was just lazily thinking out loud, since it's a team game anyway. It's not like you're going to be stuck trying to take him down with 3 Felicias.
-
His attacks are pretty slow, even the big flashy ones. You have plenty of time to get damage in before you have to guard.
I ended up using Chun Li instead of Viper on my Day 1 team because Viper is apparently really tricky to learn and I suck a lot. I've still been mostly sticking to Mission mode and Arcade, I haven't even played a real versus match yet. Then again, I haven't played for more than a few hours because of Tactics Ogre.
-
I can't stop watching this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyIEzgRUHB4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyIEzgRUHB4)
It's like watching a team getting wrecked by a miraculous car pileup.
-
I hate to be that guy who shits on shit he won't even play until his birthday but this game has the damage cranked way too high..
Killing an assist that you double snapbacked by juggling it with your launcher? cool.
Killing a point character because you've got a 100% combo off a low short? not so cool.
-
So who's up for a tournament of some kind?
-
I'm buying the dang out of this when I get my income tax and I am going to train hard as hell to catch up.
-
I can do a tourny.
And by do a tourny I mean mash buttons until I lose real bad.
-
I would also participate and probably lose horribly to somebody who knows what they're doing.
-
I'll pass. I'm good at fighters, but I've decided I pretty much need to give up games like this because I'm pathologically competitive and I don't even need to say anything to be insufferable in victory-- my brother once termed the glow I get from winning as "radiating douche-waves." The only reason I'm a halfway acceptable human being is that I'm not particularly talented at things that are not video games and so I've managed to learn to lose somewhat graciously over the last decade.
-
But could the douche-waves be felt through the internet?
-
(http://www.1up.com/media/03/8/8/7/sm/483.jpg)
-
So, any idea when we could get this tiny tourney started?
-
But could the douche-waves be felt through the internet?
Belated, but I wouldn't put it past me.
-
So word on the street is that Capcom may be making a Super version of Marvel vs Capcom 3
They do that, someone will die. I will kill someone.
-
Any update on when the tournament might go down?
-
I'm down.
-
Unfortunately I only have it for 360 Cartilage Head

Welcome to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Featuring 8 new stages and a slew of new fighters. And in a case of getting overexcited, Capcom accidentally leaked 8 of the new fighters on top of the initial 4 announced. In short, the whole new cast has pretty much been revealed. The newcomers are:
Marvel
Ghost Rider
Hawkeye
Doctor Strange (ABOUT FUCKING TIME)
Iron Fist
Nova
Rocket Raccoon
Capcom
Strider Hiryu
Firebrand
Frank West
Nemesis
Phoenix Wright
Vergil
In the third link, you will also see the new costumes that can be preordered through Gamestop for: Wesker (his old S.T.A.R.S. uniform), Viper (I think it's a nod to Captain Commando), Super Skrull (I'm assuming it's a formal outfit for Skrulls), MODOK (a Elvis appearance, complete with a microphone), Dr. Doom (Don't quite remember where this one comes from), Sentinel (old classic colors), Akuma (Cyber Akuma), Storm (it's her punk look from the 80s, sadly), X-23 (kinda looks like her X-Men Evolution outfit), Chun-Li (her Alpha outfit again) and Morrigan (in casual clothes).
Celebrate/rage/complain/fangasm/etc. as you see fit.
-
Remember when you bought the first game four months ago? And now they have a new one out? Thanks Capcom
Still, excited to see Ghost Rider, Iron Fist, and especially Rocket Racoon
-
And Phoenix Wright. Fighting. MOST LIKELY WITH HIS FISTS. That's gotta hold some merit.
(And Vergil is in it too. Finally Devil May Cry fans can yet again, if they hadn't decided by the 3rd game, determine who is the better brother).

^GamesCom Trailer and gameplay for the new characters, Doctor Strange and Nemesis (who is oddly referred to as "Nemesis T-Type"). As with the trailer I posted last month, you get to see some of the new moves for characters, like C.Viper having Optic Blasts (which she never had in Street Fighter IV, oddly enough).
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/aug/16/umvc3-official-nemesis-and-dr-strange-individual-trailers/
^Individual character trailers for Doctor Strange and Nemesis.
Notes:
--Nemesis has probably the slowest walk speed ever for a fighter that I have seen.
--Nemesis' backwards walk animation is....Nemesis turning his back to you and walking off. Like he doesn't care.
--I am willing to bet his Level 3 Hyper Combo will be banned in Germany and Australia
--Doctor Strange's fighting style is a weird amalgam of Magneto, MODOK, and Phoenix.
--Both fighters look great overall. Nemesis looks like he's going to be a giant tank that can punish opponents while Doctor Strange is going to have one doozy of a learning curve with his fighting style.
-
TRAPS, TRAPS EVERYWHERE. God I will hate people that master him. Can't wait for the Rocket Raccoon trailer. Everyone has been calling him a Cable type fighter
And c'mon Capcom, where's my Power Stone characters at?
-
And c'mon Capcom, where's my Power Stone characters at?
Power Stone is on the permanent "Series/characters that will not appear in this game at all" list.
Sorry.
-
Power Stone and Darkstalkers are the only reason I like Capcom, and they've only been releasing rumors that there might be, maybe, another Darkstalkers game. But after what happened with Megaman Legends I am not too hopeful.
Also they've yet to port Power Stone to XBL or PSN
-
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/aug/19/umvc3-marvel-was-very-attentive-dr-stranges-details/
So apparently Marvel was very hands-on when it came to designing Dr. Strange's character. Right down to his hand gestures.
Oh, and it turns out the Defenders (one of Marvel's other groups of heroes) is making a return with a new lineup. Dr. Strange and Iron Fist are part of the new lineup. Guess why they got picked over characters like Gambit and Venom.
-
Fuck Gambit and Venom anyway. I get that they have name recognition but well, they're both kinda lame. Although, with that said, I'm not exactly big on Iron Fist either, but whatever.
-
Can't wait

New reveals are Vergil and Iron Fist.

Character themes for the newcomers (sans Nova, RR, Phoenix, and Frank).
For the Capcom cast, they are all remixes of themes from their respective games.
Nemesis: "Unstoppable Nemesis" (a boss fight late in RE3, after the clocktower events).
Vergil: "Vs. Vergil 2" (second battle with Vergil in DMC3).
Strider: His MvC1 theme remixed, which I believe is a remix of the intro to his game.
Firebrand: The main Ghosts n' Goblins theme, re-remixed for him (I think).
