AndriaSang.com translated an interview that Famitsu conducted with Marvel vs. Capcom 3 producer, Ryota Niitsuma. There's a number of interest bits here, but probably the most compelling was Famitsu believes that there are 10 more fighters that will be announced for the game.• Famitsu believes that as of Nov. 30, 2010, there are ten more characters to be announced. Some of these may be DLC fighters, though.
• Having 6 people playing online at one time — with one person controlling each character — was considered at one point, but dropped due to online networking constraints.
• The team is having trouble with online play due to the 3 on 3 aspect of the game.
• Niitsuma stressed that MvC3 did not come about because of the success of Street Fighter IV. MvC3 an SFIV started as separate projects. In fact, Capcom has been undergoing negotiations with Marvel for years.
• Capcom included a lot of older MvC2 fighters to balance out the roster, as far as speed, power and gender, and other similar attributes went.
• MvC3's development team is made up partially of old MvC2 staff members, some Tatsunoko vs. Capcom people, among others.
• Converting 2D characters to 3D has proven especially challenging. A special note about Amaterasu being the most difficult to recreate in MvC3 was made here as well.
• As previously stated, all of the playable characters have their own personal background music.
• Niitsuma stated again that Monster Hunter characters would not be in this.
"The team is having trouble with online play due to the 3 on 3 aspect of the game."
BIG PROBLEM! I hope they fix it. Games that have a 1-2 second delay drive me to the edge of Mike Ross Suicide by hanging myself with my arcade stick cord.
I can sense this game will have tons of problems with lags.
@#8 they may have opted out of using it due to being process intensive and being 3v3 game play probably already taking a toll on the systems it wouldn't mix well for the frame rates.
IIRC the ps3 and 360 dont have alot of ram to work with, so overtaxing the systems would be lethal, and knowing how bad GGPO program can get when trying to keep things synchronized with the roll backs it wouldn't be wise to use it, giving how crap Americas internet network is.
Domino would be good. For the female side, I wouldn't mind seeing her, Ms. Marvel, or Spider-woman.
For the mens side, I want to see Nightcrawler.
Come on Mahvel, Nightcrawler's dead in the comics. We need him to go out with a bang so put him in this game!!!!
If I had my way, it'd go a little something like this.
Capcom: Guile, Phoenix Wright, Bison (With his SF2/SF4 moveset), Abel, Chuck Greene
Marvel: Juggernaut, Cyclops, Ghost Rider, Sabertooth, Carnage.
6 player multiplayer sounds pretty awesome actually... Your teammates would have to work with you to time their assists to extend your combos or help/save you, and everyone on the team could focus and specialize on their one character. If they could figure out how to do that locally (wouldn't be a problem on PS3 as long as you've got the USB ports for it), that'd be a fun side-tournament to have.
Also, that's one more strike against my hope for online play being competent in any way for this game. As long as I can play decently well with people who live close to me, I'll be cool. I've given up hope playing against anyone out of state online, or hell, even out of city.
@ 17
Probably referring to the first batch of playable characters.
So right now we have 30 characters (28 disc, 2 DLC). This is 10 more left to be announced before release? So it's 40 characters + unannounced secret characters? I hope we can break 56 characters. It's looking to be a pretty damn solid roster though.
I'm really hoping that Cyclops is one of those 10 characters that will be announced.
CYCLONE KICK...BEHOLD OPTIC BLAST...
He was one of them deconfirmed characters sadly.
personally give me Thanos or give me Death(pun intended...)
you now have the right to facepalm.
just balance the damn thing and limit the glitches
man Im beguinning to wonder if Feb 15th is a mistake, I think they need another month or two.
Also Amaterasue was the most difficult to design. Usuallyt he most difficult character to make is the best character due to the attention they gave her. IMHO.
I still don't think it'll release on feb 15 that's just me though i don't believe it till I have it in hand I did reserve it though. I mean I don't see why it shouldn't be out by then but it was in the works for a while now. I wonder if sf x tekken will be out by the end of next year? As for the dlc i hope it's not rape price like the blazblue dlc that's out now. I'm willing to pay for characters but at reasonable pricing.
I would like to so some JoJo Bizarre adventure characters to be honest , that game was AMAZING!
Only a hand full of you guys spoke on the real issue!!
If they can't get the online play right and this game will be released in Feb than it's ass already!!! It will kill my Hype for this game!!!! Seriously I play 99% online. This Shiiiiiit gonna turn out like Tekken. They spend All the time dev'ing with characters and less on what is really the reason most like myself want the game for. Don't have much of a gaming community in my neck of the woods so I rely on online play vs others.
I hope they figure this out!!!!!!!!
Ok I'm good now.

New Vesperarcade tutorial on execution techniques such as pianoing. just thought you wanna know, its chapter 9 part 3, and part 4
Give me th eoriginal Mega Man... that's who I want to join the fight.
Capcom reveals "Daigo" could be the final boss... XD
@Melanocito
I think Yipes would be a better boss lol. Imagine dealing with SNK Boss Syndrome with a whole lot of "Mahvel baby" being shouted out while getting Pringle'd by a part of Sicily.
I'm disappointed that they didn't do the 6 player mode, but I'm happy they at least considered it.
What is the count up to now? And did they say by Nov 30 (which is today btw) that they were going to announce the 10 characters? Or starting today, the character announcements will start trickling out. I thought they were going to do 2 per month. Hopefully they blow our MODAFOCKEN MINDS!
Last few characters have been pretty rush down based. Maybe they'll announce more zoners like MODOK (hopefully Sentinel) We need more trap or Lockdown characters as well, like Trish or the aforementioned Sentinel. Give us a buffed up Strider Hiryu to complete the Strider/Doom team (Team Cl0ckwork).
"The team is having trouble with online play due to the 3 on 3 aspect of the game."
After reading this I still don't get why they can't put a 1 on 1 mode. Most people are like "omg that would be stupid, pointless ;_; and such" but it's a good way to focus on one character and seeing what they can do alone without having to worry about team attacks and such. It'd be good training and kinda fun online. The way to set up a 1 on 1 match would be to kill off the other 2 characters or agree to end the match after the one character is defeated by why make people go through something so lame? A 1 on 1 setting would be a good idea. I bet people would use that feature more than tournament mode in SSF4 o_O
Oh yea, hopefully they bring in more tank-like brawlers or grapplers in as well. Haggar, Colossus, Warpath (Although I guess he would be too much like T.Hawk.) Juggernaut, Beast, Kingpin, Kraven, Lizard, Doc Ock, Sandman, Scorpion (although I doubt they'll bring in him because of MK)
Sounds like Capcom is rushing this to market like they did vanilla sf4 and we all know how that turned out.
BTW Japan has a release date...2 days after USA.
Time Zone Wise we get it about a day earlier than anyone. And HELL YEAH, rarely do I care, but Midnight Launch for ME!!
no more X-Men without Cyclops. it'll be stupid if his team keeps coming without him. who cares if he fights like a so called shoto like people say. big deal if he has an uppercut and a kick that he spins around, its more like a spinning leg sweep. cyclops's throws alone are cool especially in the air and aren't anything like ryu's. also the optic sweep and shooting at an angle ryu can't due without his hc. i don't know why people complain if another character fights similar like another (even though i use cyclops like crazy he doesn't feel nothing like ryu to me) just because you got your ryu doesn't mean you gotta knock the cyclops fans, akuma, ken, and sakura fans. ryu and cyclops were the first to open up capcoms vs series so the xmen should have there leader and some more mutants especially with the number of avengers.
Here is what I think might be the rest of the roster
Capcom side
Mike Haggar:leaked accidently by capcom
M. Bison: Apparently a SF villan was mentioned by frank tieri. I would like a source for that information though
Frank West: The number of silleuttes he has appeared in is staggering plus he had a there was a silleuette in she hulk's art.
Strider: Is likely even with the copyright issues, he was teased twice by nitsuma
Megaman classic: This possibly the most likely he would be a rep for classic and he is Megaman for crying out loud
DLC? Please excuse me as I go change my preorder to something else.
@58 explain how sfiv was rushed? If my memory seveves me correct it was announced in late 07 and then came out in arcades in summer of 08 and didn't see a console release till feb of 09. I don't know about you but that seems like enough time to me.
@14
I have been asking for 2 people... Sakura and Domino.. sadly it would seem Domino has a better chance but she would be a great freakin addition.
Here's who I'm for!
Marvel
Carnage
Miss Marvel
Black Panther
Venom or Anti-Venom (Eddie Brock)
Moon Knight
Capcom
Juri
Red Arremer
Megaman (Classic)
Frank West
Mike Haggar
Tessa
out of those 10 all i kno 2 are mike haggar n frank west
@70: I know the Original Mega Man will join because it isn't MvC without him though having Zero and Tron Bonne is awesome too.
i call bull sh*t on MVC3 not coming about due to success of SFIV, ofcourse it did!
@73 apocalypse is the reason cyber akuma even exist,wouldn't make since if cyber akuma is in the game if apocolypse isn't.
@59 if you haven't noticed cyclops has changed a lot since the 90's so he wouldnt play the same way he did in the past.he isnt even the leader of the xmen anymore.
@27 & 31 jojo's bizzare adventure the "game" is made by capcom,not the series,so that wouldn't happen.
Guys......Niitsuma has just dropped a bomb here, an atomic bomb:

"I'm like a flying dragon is very popular overseas. This time, I remove the concept because it was different."
And for those who don't know, Hiryu means "flying dragon"

Man, it's hard for me to believe that Capcom is going to drop 10 characters in our lap in one show after feeding us nibbles for so long. I think it might be their way of saying that 10 more characters are to be announced before the games release.
I really hope I'm wrong though. Another huge info dump for this game is waayyy overdue.

most importantly evil capcom characters
and female marvel characters
I don't know if someone already saw this or not, but I found this site that has Mega Man and a character called X. It shows the voice acting for those two characters.
here's the link:
