GameSpot has a good preview article of the twelve most recently announced fighters in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, sans Phoenix and Mike Haggar, giving you a paragraph or so detailing how each of the fighters play.Crimson Viper
Crimson Viper's highly technical gameplay translates well into the fast and frenetic world of MvC3. Unlike the other Street Fighter contenders we've seen, she brings in the special systems at play in Street Fighter IV. Her focus attack can absorb a number of hits and crumples foes just like before, while EX versions of her special attacks can be excited at the cost of one bar of special meter. C. Viper is a deadly fast character and easy to combo with, even if you're just mashing buttons. When you pair that with her quick and deadly burning kick, she makes an excellent character for both newcomers and veterans alike — even with such low stamina.
Magneto
If you were a fan of the Master of Magnetism's previous incarnations in the series, then you'll be happy to know that little has changed. His disruptor projectile is still great for keeping opponents at a distance. Likewise, his returning gravitation attack — which grabs enemies, stuns them, and brings them closer to Magneto — is great for setting up a ground combo that you can eventually continue in the air with his launcher. The same goes for Magneto's throw, which momentarily stuns opponents in a similar way, allowing you to capitalize as long as you dash over. Magneto's level one supers — magnetic tempest and shockwave — are the same as in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, while his level three super grabs opponents and crushes them in magnetically dramatic fashion. Overall, he's a bit slower than most of the other characters on the roster, but in the hands of the right player, his attacks are pretty devastating.

It looks like one of his alt. costumes is M.O.D.A.M.
(Mental Organism Designed for Aggressive Maneuvers)
Awesome.
Thank god they took away that eyesore sunburst effect from C. Viper's flame kick attacks.
#5 That was a video edit that was never in game, they did that because for some reason ESRB did'nt allow for people to be burned in their videos. Yeah dumb considering half the cast sets opponents on fire and are not censored.
The blur is not ingame.
@ #3 Nah pretty sure its master of magnetism..... smh nooBz
#3
Magnetism = dealing with magnets, gravity, all physics.
So viper is easy to combo with even if you mash buttons ? Fail!.
@ OdinReborn
Seems like nobody else got the reference to X-Men Arcade...
And I'm curious if people will still play Mags in MVC3 on account that he seems so much slower... I haven't seen him played much in match vids of preview builds.
Nope, no one got the reference to the arcade game. Sadly these nerds take things too seriously ;).
Dude look at MODOK, he looks so damn awesome.
He didn't mention that Magneto triangle dash is slower.
