GamingUnion.net has an interview with Capcom's Seth Killian, talking about his current role at Capcom, but the conversation quickly spills over to Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and trying to recapture the insanity that is the Marvel vs. games.GamingUnion.net: So what's your role this time out, are you still an advisor, or...?
Seth Killian: [Laughs] That's always what they call it, "special advisor." Because we don't know what else to call it. So basically - I generally feel more comfortable dealing with very specific things - but we sat down at the beginning of development and had a discussion about what is a Marvel game. What makes a Marvel Vs Capcom game.
GamingUnion.net: And what is that, in your mind?
Seth Killian: Well, obviously it's things like super jumps and a large character cast and the tagging and all that, but for me I think it came down to - it sounds a bit silly, but this is exactly what we agreed - at the beginning it just wasn't insane enough.
One of the gauges of insanity is how much crap there is on the screen. It doesn't have to be constant crap on the screen at all times, but if you are playing well, or you want to generate a giant storm of crap, if you are able to do that, then - when people pass by and say, 'I have no idea what's happening there,' then you've nailed it.
So yeah, you can start it slow and play it like any other Street Fighter game, but the Marvel games have a level of insanity just waiting there underneath. So when you start becoming a little more virtuoso, there's just a screen of nuttiness.
