why are they so limited? this has like less than half of the characters from Mvc2. it seems like they are just lazy to add new additions from the game cuz its too much work,,, thats tood bad.

chickenwings said on October 24, 2010 at 3:32 p.m.

@4

i rather have a smaller cast with every character competitive they have 50 character with only 7 of them legit and u know thats exactly what mvc2 was.

Honestly, you can't have xmen without cyclops and wolverine. Marvel please put scott in. Its not fair that marvel super hero squad gets him and the wii version of ua2 gets him. We want him in marvel 3!

Damn too many cool characters already deconfirmed, i know ghost rider was like deconfirmed form like the start, but why? i mean he is so cool also daredevil,and gambit, damn i will miss him, for megaman x i would be too happy if he was in, but im a fan of megaman so im happy with every version of him, also too bad vergil didn't make it. And in the questionable thing: Come on, you cant deconfirm cyclops, he is the leader of x-men, also wayne would be cool,also black panther and obiously akuma, i think this ones still have chances, like it says in there:Its not official that they wont make it, so im still with hope :D.

Please akuma! (yeah i wont stop, i dont care if he is a shoto he is too cool to not be in)

#13
Dan_CiTi said on October 24, 2010 at 3:50 p.m.

No Gambit? That sucks. And didn't the tweet about DarkStalkers just say no Demetri, but don't count out DarkStalkers as a whole?

No Gene, no Phoenix, no Monster Hunter, Silver Surfer or Dr. Strange is really too bad. ESPECIALLY Gene. He is PERFECT for this game on so many levels.

And Cyclops is not a big deal, I like him, but he was not in MvC1 and I've never really had much fun playing him myself. In addition, His play style isn't very unique, especially now that Ryu has an aim-able hyper fireball.

I have a feeling we are going to see classic Mega Man(buffed up and modernized w/ stuff from MM9 & 10) next, possibly along with Zero(MMX4, like in TvC).

#14
Wishpig said on October 24, 2010 at 3:52 p.m.

@#9

Cyclops has decreased immensely in popularity since MvC2... and really what role would he serve? All he can do is shoot his gay little eye beams and is decent at hand to hand. Waste of space!

That said, it surprises me they didn't add Loki. Not only do they need Thor publicity atm, but he would make for a great fighting game character... so many different ways you could interpret him into a game.

JMJ_Th3_Wik3d said on October 24, 2010 at 3:54 p.m.

Green Goblin and jill still on my list or Sheva Alomar

why are they removing gambit? he was one of the best characters..why are the Original MVC cast removed too? No Jin?

MugenLord said on October 24, 2010 at 4:29 p.m.

Just give me Falcon from Powerstone and Valgas, the boss from Powerstone including Mega Man Volnutt and Pyslocke(or a female Marvel character with her playstyle) then I will be all set.

#34
Steele301 said on October 24, 2010 at 4:29 p.m.

I'm eternally pissed that Megaman X or battle network isnt in. If they put Classic megaman it would be like a slap in the face; he'd be the the only kiddie character in the game (so far) :-(

kingofthesharks said on October 24, 2010 at 4:41 p.m.

I'm kinda over it that phoenix wright isn't it in the game now that he is revealed to be in another crossover game with Professor Layton. But people who think he couldn't be in the game because he isn't a "fighter" are just not thinking outside the box. The makers said its all about mixing conventional with unconventional and Phoenix has a lot of fans (myself included) that would do anything to play as him again, especially since the Ace attorney series moved onto other protagonists.
He would seriously be the Deadpool of the Capcom side, shouting Objection, Hold It, and Take That as his Hypers to varying effect. He could use the Magatama and psyche-locks as a special attack or assist. Various major pieces of evidence or weapons throughout the game could be put to use or he could just do fisticuff melee attacks for all I care. He would look ridiculous and it would be awesome. Victory poses would include passing judgment on the opponent (guilty or not guilty).
Also Cyclops should be in the game, I dont care if they change his playstyle to not be a shoto guy, he's the man shaking hands with Ryu on the front of Xmen Vs. Street Fighter and it would be sad to not see the man return.

At least with this we know whose in it and who is not. I feel bad that Gambit didn't make the cut. He'd be awesome to fight with especially if he has a Lv3 Hyper where it would dish out serious damage. I also feel bad that X didn't make the cut either though I wish that either the original Mega Man or Megaman Trigger (Legends) join the fight.

No Gambit is veryyyy saaad.

But Still, i'm personally hoping for Danny Rand, Nova, Ms. Marvel or Jessika Drew.

Shut the **** up about racism every time a cast doesn't consist of 100% blacks, i'm tired of hearing this **** EVERY TIME a game doesn't entirely consist of black people. It's like one of those Madea movies where it's entirely black except the awkward boyfriend or random waiter (but oh wait, it's not racism when black people do it to whites, only when black people are on the "oppressed" side is it racism). **** you!

#56
Kurow said on October 24, 2010 at 5:07 p.m.

It's funny how people always talk about small cast = competitive game and that is not true at all.

Players always find a way to make the game broken and after see the early builds of MvC3the game is far not be balanced at all. We have a lot of characters that are wasted slots like Hulk, Thor and Felicia.

As other member said if they want to add a character and make it powerful they can do it but they are lazy... just look at Amaterasu and all the modes and moves the character have and the same case with Dante.

#57
MrPavy said on October 24, 2010 at 5:07 p.m.

Well cyclops was a shoto basically and psylocke was only picked so people can spam her assist.X probably cant get in since his game series had blood.i wished they remove the stupid naked cat girl,she looks like an anime character

#58
cadnexus said on October 24, 2010 at 5:07 p.m.

#56 Conrad, Then what is Spencer, he looks black to me lol..
What about the black characters on Resident Evil, of course they don't have chance in the game.

#59
MuuvStehpah said on October 24, 2010 at 5:10 p.m.

Lol, next you'll be saying that Capcom's Resident Evil 5 is racist against Africans because the protagonist is Caucasian and he kills Africans infected with Las Plagas.

Oh wait.

#60
MugenLord said on October 24, 2010 at 5:13 p.m.

You also have Black Panther, Blade, Luke Cage, Cloak, Storm, Black Falcon, Goliath, Deathlok, Ladyhawk, Kasper Cole,and Shard (Bishops Sister)

man foreal no megaman x they bet no put in any more piece of s h i t people from the legends series. so how is going to be we arent going to get sigma so can we get protoman or bass?

#64
Bison said on October 24, 2010 at 5:22 p.m.

@48 I agree with you.

Perhaps Capcom plans to bring in the Samuel Jackson version of Nick Fury? I think that would be tight even though Blade would have been much better.

#65
cadnexus said on October 24, 2010 at 5:24 p.m.

Yeah, that's what I want to see if Strider or Captain Commando is in. THEY BOTH SHOULD BE!!! The game feels like it's missing something, like not having Cyclops, Strider, or Captain Commando is sort of losing most of it's flavor.

#66
cadnexus said on October 24, 2010 at 5:25 p.m.

That Gambit looks like a pre-model for Gambit for Marvel vs Capcom 3, is it?

#67

@cadnexus

dont get your hopes up.Anyway this narrows it down to )megaman MVC2 Version) or Megaman Volnutt

So the crazy character on the marvel side is.....Sentry, or Galactis?

#72
afreytes said on October 24, 2010 at 5:45 p.m.

I think Akuma/Ken aren't needed, IHMO, with Ryu already in. (Disclaimer: Ken is favorite Capcom character ever.)

I have never played God Hand. But the way others speak about him makes me want in in the game; at launch.

Which brings me to my next point. These characters have been de-confirmed for launch. But, what about future DLC?

#73
DarkBurialX said on October 24, 2010 at 5:50 p.m.

I really want Megaman X to make the cut and Gambit as well. If X made the cut, then I would choose him as one of my teams.

JumpMan33 said on October 24, 2010 at 5:55 p.m.

I still have hope for Vanessa from P.N.03 and Garcian Smith from Killer 7.

Since when another character taking an original characters theme mean that the other character won't make the cut in the game? There were multiple different themes in Mega Man Legend.

I don't get why they never consider putting any Breath of Fire characters in; or making a BoF6, for that matter. It seem like there would be plenty of options in there for fighting game characters, and maybe even some more interesting play styles.

#78

Bison said on October 24, 2010 at 6:03 p.m.

I hope X get's chosen too. When X was originally "deconfirmed" by Seth, he said it was due to time constraints. Then there was a later announcement mentioning that they are looking to add some last minute characters which lead me to believe that X may still have a real possibility.

#80
Phynx said on October 24, 2010 at 6:04 p.m.

Also, the Darkstalkers de-confirm means no B.B.Hood. What a bummer.

felicia just looks like the average anime character.No brains just boobs

#86
Oracle said on October 24, 2010 at 6:15 p.m.

Why do people want Megaman X? He has NO actual fighting style, he just shoots things. We already have projectile-based characters in the game, so X would just be a duplicate/fan service.

Zero makes much more sense as a fighter.

#89
Bison said on October 24, 2010 at 6:21 p.m.

@94
X strength can come from a variety of things. I see his advantange not really in projectiles, but a creative developer can add his increased agility and the use of various armors from the different series which were not all projectile based.

Plus in X6, he did use Zero's sword which would definitely add a new element to his potential gameplay. Not to mention they can add his ability to acquire other characters strenghths, probably similar to Rogue, if Capcom is creative enough to think like this.

kirbykirbykirby said on October 24, 2010 at 6:21 p.m.

this should have been trons theme.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwAXYW...

and yeah darkstalkers really needs new reps or add more from that series if they really want to make and start promoting a darkstalkers 4 which i doubt. capcom even wants.they just use those 2 whores to get young teenagers excited while playing.

I'd actually be very wtf is they didn't add one black character, even if it Crusader in human form, Crusader is a Skrull with a Piece of the Cosmic Cube so he can be the Seth of the game with alot of his normals and specials coming from other people THAT ARE IN THE GAME and have like 40 special moves(*takes a shot at Dante*) and him having one or two attacks to himself. (oh yeah if they do this I'm hoping they the have a Spiral like Super where she turns into everyone)

the striders(either hiryu or hien)
m.bison(street fighter 2)
sigma(megaman x)
magma dragoon(megaman x7)
that all we need.

and just saying.
sean is very diffrent than ryu, ken, akuma, and, dan.
sean never learned the hadouken only just his super (hado-burst). all he has is a dragon smash, double hand shoryuken to the smackdown, and his tornado kick. plus the other supers he has are the shoryucannon, and the ryubi kyaku and that could be his lvl 3 hyper combo. and dont forget that he was a cameo ryu's ending in MvC1 and when the battle is starting when u use ryu or facing against him. plus he can shoot freaking basketballs. PUT HIM IN!!!!!!!!!
