Capcom-Unity conducted an interview with Marvel vs. Capcom 3's producer, Ryota Niitsuma, at Comic-Con and archived video is up on their uStream page.• Ryota Niitsuma confirmed that these characters will NOT be in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Phoenix Wright, Emma Frost, Daredevil, Gene from God Hand, Ghost Rider and Punisher.
• Ghost Rider was on the list of potential characters up until the end, but didn't make the cut and Punisher wasn't included because he was too similar to Chris Redfield. They developers were careful about not having characters who would overlap too much.
• Niitsuma didn't rule out more Comic-Con MvC3 announcements — although he said this before Thor and Amaterasu were confirmed.
• The current character select screen is not completely indicative of what the final character screen will look like. So counting the available slots won't get you far.
• Each stage is tied to at least some of the characters in the game. Later, Niitsuma was asked if that means Mega Man will be in the game because of the Mega Man Legends stage. He said he wouldn't go back on what he said previously, but fans will have to wait and see.
• Air dashing will be as similar to MvC2 as possible. Not every character will have one, but it will be close to what was in the previous game as far as how many fighters can perform it.
• An arcade version isn't planned, but if the reception to the game is good, an arcade release might pan out.
• Ryota recommended Ryu and Captain America as good characters to start off to learn the basics, but said that you should choose fighters based on if you like them and if their style of play fits you. He added that the game isn't that difficult to learn, so you should be OK using most of the roster.
• The 'Take You For a Ride' song might be returning. It's a popular tune and they did a few new arrangements on it, so we'll see if it ends up in the game.
• Capcom realizes the timer is running out quickly on players in these early builds, usually before they can K.O. someone — but the game is still being balanced and they're aware of this issue. Basically, if it continues to be a problem as the game progresses, expect a change.
• Trish is an advanced character and isn't recommended for beginning players.

@Quezacoatl & Apollo13: It seems like, based on what he said, it's not going to be the obvious choice of character for that stage, so it may not be Megaman or Tron. I really don't know who else from Legends is iconic enough to represent the series, though. Maybe Servbot? lol

No Phoenix Wright makes me sad, and I definitely want a new, interesting song for the MvC3 character select screen. But I have Viewtiful Joe and Iron Man lined up and I highly doubt I can influence Capcom's music choices.
Also Capcom please make an arcade release! Any way to get it out there would be amazing for my local arcade.

This now proves the leaked list to be a total fraud, but it so far correct other than the fact that some characters up there are confirmed not. Give me Captain Commando, Bionic Commando, Cyclops,Seth, Gill, and Mega Man X
Posted by Spiderkid on July 22, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. #19
@3 Saying Mega Man is confirmed is like saying Spider-Man is confirmed. EXE would be a much funner character to play than MvC's and TvC's Mega Mans, but I don't think enough Capcom fans like him more than the others. I personally would LOVE to see X in the game over any other Mega Man. I think he's well deserved his turn in the fray.
Posted by JoseRufus on July 22, 2010 at 9:36 a.m. #20
THAT STILL LEAVES ROOM FOR THE PHOENIX AND THE SILVER SURFER
RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW I AM CONFIRMING SPIDER-MAN AS A CHARACTER BECAUSE HE SAID EACH STAGE IS RELATED TO A CHARACTER AND THEIR IS A DAILY BUGLE STAGE BUT IT COULD BE CARNAGE(IF ITS WERE TO BE HIM I WOULD BUY IT), MORBIUS,OR THE BEYONDER

Read 1st paragraph. But yeah he did mention no Jean Gray aka Pheonix. I am glad Ghost Rider did'nt make it, just seemed out of place, and why would anyone want Gene from God Hand, I think they are trying to bring characters that are fresh in everyones mind in the last couple of years, not every one remembers that game.
#19 I agree, never understood why in all versus games Megaman X was passed on so much. But with a Megaman Legends stage we might get some Legends' character....again, and I never liked how Voulnutt played, he was'nt fun to me.

@ 21
I agree. I was really hoping to hit someone with a Hardcore Level 3 Hyper Objection Take That Hold It Combo Finish.
I just hope they don't leave out Ken because he is too similar to Ryu (btw I feel they are very different) I also hope to see Spiderman. Megaman X would be a nice addition in my opinion. Like he can have a move where he gains all of his suit upgrades and fires hadoukens. Just saying.

Posted by SaitoKojima on July 22, 2010 at 10:58 a.m. #36
Personally, I'd rather it be SS Rockman/Megaman as opposed to EXE. He's got a much nicer design, with a somewhat more darker theme than EXE did (only maybe once or twice did EXE ever get "dark", while the whole premise of 80% of the main plots in the SSR games are pretty non-kid friendly).
Plus, seeing him transform into Fire Leo and use Atomic Blazer for one of his Hyper moves would be quite amazing.

No. I'm extremely disappointed because that's the second ******* time he's used the same excuse. Nitsuma should just be honest and say, "I can't think of a moveset for him." Instead of using the same stupid excuse, "We'll try to put him in the next game.." That's what he said with TVC and now he's said the same thing with this.

Posted by Xurkey on July 22, 2010 at 11:42 a.m. #44
The lack of Pheonix Wright is terribly disappointing.
He's one of the better new Capcom characters to come out in awhile and he's pretty popular. Sounds like a good fit to me but I guess Capcom disagrees. A shame really, I think he would of been an awesome character with a unique set of moves and great personality.
Posted by SaitoKojima on July 22, 2010 at 11:43 a.m. #45
Honestly, the X series got it's representation already.
The only ones left for the MegaMan/Rockman is ZX and SSR/Star Force.
Classic was in for: Rockman (MvC1 and 2), Roll (MvC1 and 2, TvC Cross, TvC UAS)
X was in for: Zero (TvC UAS)
DASH was in for: Rock Volnutt (TvC Cross and TvC UAS), Tron Bonne (MvC2), Kobun/Servbot (MvC2)
Zero was in for: Zero (Onimusha Buraiden/Blade Warriors, SVC CHAOS - SNK VS CAPCOM)
EXE was in for: Rockman EXE (Onimusha Buraiden/Blade Warriors)
But knowing how Capcom only works by popular-demand for stuff, and seeing how fickle the Megaman fanbase is, I already know for a fact that anything ZX and SSR/Star Force related will likely not happen for MvC3. >_>
Posted by Caivr on July 22, 2010 at 11:51 a.m. #46
No Gene from God Hand?
WHY?
Posted by SoulBroRyu on July 22, 2010 at 11:53 a.m. #47
Hope this doesn't rule out anyone else from the Ace Attorney universe. Franciska Von Karma would still make a great addition to this game. I heard a crazy that Tron Bonne's older brother, Teisel, will be a playable character, despite being in the background of the MegaMan Legends stage.
Honestly here are some classic Capcom characters that are long overdue for this game:
- Trojan
- Arthur (from Ghosts & Goblins)
- Bionic Commando
- Michelle Heart (from Legendary Wings)
- Tessa/Tsubasa (from Red Earth/Warzard)
- Akira Kazama with & w/o Helmet (from Rival Schools)
- Mega Man X (really long overdue)
- Vanessa Z. Schneider (from P.N.03)
- Albert Wesker (from Resident Evil 5)
- Anyone from Power Stone 2 (especially Wang Tang - best name ever!)
There are many others, but I'll spare ya'll for now. I hear rumblings that Bionic Commando & Wesker might be contenders, but I'll believe it when I see it. The two I really hope that appear are Akira & Wang Tang, but I'm sure they'll get denied.
Anyone still believe that Bayonetta might be appearing in this game? With all these iconic characters (Viewtiful Joe, Amaterasu, Trish & Dante) from the games Hideki Kamiya made while at Capcom, there's a chance they might jump the shark and have her in here too.
A slim chance, but possible...

Posted by sephirothclone on July 22, 2010 at 1:20 p.m. #59
Can we have Mega Man X yet, please. We got 2 types of Mega Men, Zero...but not X? C'mon already.
Magneto is bound to be included, since him and Dr. Doom are the 2 most notourious Marvel villians of all time.
The comment on Ryu and Captain America being the best characters to pick up and play just means they'll be 2 of the best characters in the game...I'm calling it now.
Other characters include Dr. Strange, maybe Blade(already have Deadpool though), Namor the Sub-Mariner, Silver Surfer, Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, and maybe Professor X.
Capcom might include Ken and Akuma for SF legacy purposes...but no other shotos, and probaly only one of them will make it. I'll take Charlie over Guile(he seems to have more VS. series appearences anyways), Captain Commando or Bionic Commando will make it, lost likely a newer character from SFIV(Abel, Juri, Hakan, Rufus, ELF, and Vipor all have chances of making it), and some type of character from Dark Void or Lost Planet 2...just to advertise those two crappy titles.
Posted by DrKilledByDeath on July 22, 2010 at 1:22 p.m. #60

In MvC1, we had Mega Man and Roll.
MvC2 we got Tron Bonne and Servbot (hate that bugger).
In TvC, we got Roll, Megaman Volnutt and Zero (X series).
So for MvC3, we need X and I say that we should plead to them to add X for MvC3... he hasn't been in the spotlight for years.

@#66 and all the "We want X" people
The X series had enough fair share of representation. Give ZX and SSR a chance, seeing how they're the only ones that haven't been given any love at all.
I laid it out and explained it, too, in one of my earlier comments.

X has only had ONE representation and that was Zero, it wasn't even Megaman X himself. We already had megaman Zero in SNK vs Capcom chaos, we had original Megaman in MvC1, we also saw Exe in onimusha battle games, and Megaman volnutt in Tatsu. I think its time for Megaman X to finally appear the other Megaman don't need to appear or rather they shouldn't appear till they add Megaman X
Posted by GZR666 on July 22, 2010 at 1:47 p.m. #67
Hopefully "Take you for a ride" doesn't come back. No reason to bring back a crappy song that is only popular because it was so out of place/random. The current music they got going sounds more oldschool and true to the crossover series. (Thank you Capcom for no more terrible jazz)
I'm not too familiar with Okami so the addition of Amaterasu is w/e to me, but Thor looks godly. He better have some high damaging combos. Dude looks menacing. Mega-Man, Gene, and the rest can kick rocks. Although I'm sure MM will make the cut I'm already too hype over Skrull, Doom. I had no idea who Skrull was but he looks sick as hell!
And if they're waiting on the MvC3 launch reception to decide whether or not they should release an arcade version they better get crackin' on that then, because MvC3 is too hype.

Ryu and Ippatsuman are the best beginner characters. Ken the Eagle is not because he has short grounded hit confirms and his high damage comes from difficult air juggles.

Yes, but what does that have to do with PICKING UP AND PLAYING?
You can perform basic combos with Ken in about 5 minutes.
I've owned the game, so I know what I'm talking about.

Am I the only one that cares more about the lack of universal air dashes than certain characters not being included?
@TheDarkAce
Dio Brando's from a freakin' SHONEN JUMP MANGA. How exactly would he fit into this game?

Omg if they dont announce Spidey im going to cry literally
Posted by FroggyMan77 on July 22, 2010 at 4:35 p.m. #99
@Cornwad
He's probably the only one out of the playable characters so far. Which is actually pretty silly as he's supposed to be surprisingly fast and agile for someone of his size.

I feel sad for lack of Phoenix Wright. :( But I simply can't wait for this damn game~
@110
Yeah, because of his bulk. You don't think there might be other big-guy characters who can't air dash? Zangief and Juggernaught, maybe?
Posted by ultrapowerlevel on July 22, 2010 at 7:59 p.m. #106
I want Mega Man X too. Plus good news guys. He might be in. This interview's most important question for us X fans isnt shown here. Check out the interview. At 17.30 Nitsuma is asked a question "Will Mega Man X be in this game?". Unlike the way he denied the other characters like Pheonix Wright, Gene, Daredevil, Emma, Punisher and Ghost Rider, Nitsuma pauses for a while and changes the subject and says "If there is any questions that I can answer I'll be willing to answer them". Definitely he cant just say "Hey Yes X is in." The thing is, why didnt X get denied like the rest of the characters. The only two characters that wernt denied is X and Amtarasu in the interview. Then in the end Nitsuma says, "Some of those guesses are correct". This could be X's day to shine folks!
Posted by SurgeFist on July 22, 2010 at 8:32 p.m. #107
YES!! GIVE US X!!!!
Posted by forsaga on July 22, 2010 at 8:34 p.m. #108
I've always wanted Megaman X to be in MvC, he's finally coming, Zero would be nice addition too :) Too bad Gene (God Hand) didn't make it, but I hope Viewtiful Joe could be in this game too. At least, Dante and Amaterasu are in, I'm happy :)
Posted by deathheadver666 on July 22, 2010 at 8:42 p.m. #109
well this would be good news to peeps that didnt want x-23 since some of her abilities will probly overlap wolvies so hopefully with that they aren't going to put in akuma and put in some more capcom charaters that aren't in street fighter so far the roster is looking good
Posted by jhayze on July 22, 2010 at 8:44 p.m. #110
i just only want...
IRONFIST from Marvel
VANESSA Z. SCHNEIDER from P.N.03 (Capcom)
...to be added on the full roster!
thats all i ask!
Posted by GZR666 on July 22, 2010 at 8:48 p.m. #111
The only past vs. characters (thus far) that should have an air dash are Iron-Man, Morrigan, Dr. Doom and Chun-Li.
Ryu, Wolverine, Captain America, Hulk, and Felicia never had it, so why would they do it now? In TvC, Ryu (and everybody else?) could air-dash, great. TvC is its own series. They've established that as a universal key feature. It would suck if in TvC2 they removed UAD. That would be something to complain about. But in this crossover series not everybody can air-dash, and that's how it should be. It's MAHVEL FFS!
They're using TvC when it comes to the visual style and button layout, but this is Marvel vs. Capcom. They need to start incorporating some staples of the series.
Lots of new characters? Cool. Just don't forget about the classic vs. characters that have made the series what it is today. I'm unfamiliar with a lot of these characters but that's ok. I'm not afraid to learn brand new characters, but they need to add oldschool familiar faces (love'em or hate'em), too.
Posted by jhayze on July 22, 2010 at 8:49 p.m. #112
btw fyi to all...
games made by capcom that are based from anime/manga cant be added or even requested cuz they are not original capcom characters! this include powerstone, jojo bizzare adventure, etc.

Am I the only one that liked MvC2's soundtrack? The Jazz theme was lovely, and it puts a smile on my face to this day. "Nobody to dry your eyes....Drive me CRAAAZZYY, but I won't let you GooooOoo....inside me" *trumpet solo*. The good old days
Posted by Loghorn on July 22, 2010 at 9:36 p.m. #114
"The 'Take You For a Ride' song might be returning. It's a popular tune and they did a few new arrangements on it, so we'll see if it ends up in the game."
Oh, HELL NO! HAVE MERCY!! :(
Hopefully, there will be an option to change that through the custom soundtrack option.

I talked to Seth Killian at EVO and he told me that there is a "Good" Chance that X will be in Marvel vs Capcom 3. Just that I did not hear it from him lol.
Posted by Jarkyttaa on July 22, 2010 at 9:41 p.m. #116
@126: Powerstone had an anime based on the original video games made by Capcom. Capcom 100% owns those characters. The Jojo videogames, however, were based on a manga, so Capcom doesn't own those characters.
Make sure you do your research before spouting off statements as fact.
Posted by TheDarkAce on July 22, 2010 at 9:48 p.m. #117
@FroggyMan77
he's still a capcom character in his own game.
i could picture him being in it.
Posted by Jarkyttaa on July 22, 2010 at 9:49 p.m. #118
@125: I think they have a pretty good mix of new vs. old so far, and ~1/2 of the roster has been revealed.
So far 5/8 of the announced Marvel characters are returning from MvC2 and 4/8 of the announced Capcom characters are returning.
The only other characters that are ~for sure at this point are all new (Dormannu, Viewtiful Joe, and Frank West), but that still leaves tons of open slots for returning characters.

@128: I'm almost 100% sure we'll be able to play our own music. Every game has that feature now I think?
Sucks that back in the day (before custom MvC2 DC modding tutorials) you were forced to put up with "take you for a ride" and the horrible stage themes that followed.
WTF was Capcom thinking? Jazz music in a 2D fighter??? C'mon. -.-"
Posted by jme on July 22, 2010 at 10:39 p.m. #122
this is such a big ass let down. First they say ken masters isn't coming back. The phoenix wright now ghost rider kill all my dream capcom why don't you
Posted by Loghorn on July 22, 2010 at 11:17 p.m. #123
@135: It most likely will, though I hope that the character select theme also becomes optional as well.
@136: In case you forgot about this statement here:
"Ghost Rider was on the list of potential characters up until the end, but didn't make the cut and Punisher wasn't included because he was too similar to Chris Redfield. They developers were careful about not having characters who would overlap too much."
Translation: There will be no clone &/or palette swap characters such as War Machine, Charlie, Classic Roll, Sabretooth, X-23, Akuma, Sakura, Dan, KEN, etc. in this game.
I can understand why they're doing this, though, because it's to create diversity of characters from different franchises. It would be too stale to have characters such as Ken in this game, given that he's a clone/palette swap character of Ryu. Better get used to it.
Posted by GZR666 on July 23, 2010 at 12:41 a.m. #124
@Loghorn: While I agree with keeping useless copies out of MvC3, I do hope they realize that some of them may look similar but are in fact very different or at least different enough to perhaps warrant a spot in the game.
*No need for War Machine when Iron Man is better in every way.
*Guile should definitely not be in this game, because Charlie is superior to him in every way. (Screw Remy)
Sabretooth is to Wolverine what Venom is to Spider-Man. Similar, yet unique.
And all shotos have the same three specials. They only differ in specials, and even then they resemble one or the other. But some (like Akuma) are their own character regardless of similarity. And leaving a character like Akuma out of a game like this is sort of a kick in the balls. Seeing as he's been fighting side-by-side with Ryu since XvSF. Hell, you can even argue Ken should have been chosen over Ryu, if only because he was way better than Ryu in MvC2.
If they go the no carbon copy route I just hope they look at each character carefully and choose him because he's the right choice. Don't just discard him completely because someone else has similar attributes.
With that said, where's Charlie??? I want oldschool combo-machine Charlie from XvSF, damnit!

@Coal92
you said it man: Nightcrawler. He was so cool in that arcade game back then. Carnage would be OP for sure. Maybe Spidey that could switch to Black Spidey would be interesting.
So far the roster is already more appealing to me than SSFIV's. I'm so glad Phonix Wright is not in there, as good as his games are, he doesn't belong in a fighting game.
Posted by Jarkyttaa on July 23, 2010 at 7 a.m. #126
I know it's 100% impossible, largely due to how obscure he is, but I would love to see Age of Apocalypse-era Sunfire. Him and nightcrawler would easily be my two favorite Marvel characters to make it.

Posted by Loghorn on July 23, 2010 at 1:04 p.m. #127
@138: I just hope that they don't give in (or cave in) to all those whiny fanboys of theirs out there. There are plenty of other Capcom characters that are more deserving than more shotos, & they need representation as well. If a 3rd SF character would get into this game, it would most likely be someone like Bison, especially when developers for this game have been talking about getting villains into this game, such as him & Wesker.
They dealt with other shotos not being in such as Capcom Fighting Evolution (Capcom Fighting Jam in Japan; only Sakura was in there besides Ryu), Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, & Marvel Vs. Capcom 1.

@138
Ken, Venom and War machine maybe unique they are basically just Ryu/Iron Man with different moves, people who prefer them over Ryu are the ones that wanted them in the game and capcom was trying to please everyone.
But think about it if the start putting in characters like Ken, Charlie, Akuma, Sakura, the roster starts to become stale.
One of the biggest problems with MvC2 was how weak the Capcom side was. They stayed too true to their classic street fighter style and it just could'nt compare to Marvels screen filling Hyper combos like Storm's Hail attack or Cables Hyper Viper Beams. Characters like Amateresu, Dante, Trish provide a significant challange to the marvel side and allows Capcom to legitimatly compete. I hope people understand some of your favorites just won't legitimatly return. No throw away characters.

Posted by TeamEHRGEIZ on August 11, 2010 at 8:30 p.m. #135
They didn't mention that Nitsuma also said in the same interview that NO characters from Power Stone or Rival Schools would be playable. Rival Schools I could care less about, but the lack of Falcon pisses me off (Let's face it, if a Power Stone character were to make it in, it would've been him). Power Stone is a FIGHTING game, his moveset probably would've been easier to make than a lot of the other characters. Capcom, you've got a loyal Power Stone fan base, and you just LOVE to ignore the crap out of 'em, don'tcha?!
Don't get me wrong, I'm still BEYOND hyped for this game (Especially since Thor's announcement!) and I will definitely pre-order it. But I'm just VERY frustrated that the Power Stone franchise continues to be overlooked.
