Seth Killian dished a bit more info about Marvel vs. Capcom 3 on the Unity Boards, mostly talking about the game's random select and character select screen stuff.
Will there be a random feature for selecting characters? — GhostTear
Seth: Yes.
Will the random feature go as far as picking your whole team for you (via not knowing who your team is until the battle begins)?
Seth: You can pick randomly one character at a time, or you can choose to have a totally random team. You can back out of any particular character choice, but once you have selected all 3 plus their assists, you are committed. This means if you opt for the fully random team, you are locked into that random team.
Will you be able to change your controllers on the character select screen like Blazblue?
Seth: No.
Is there any other details you would like to share about the character select screen?
Seth: It also has a nice feature called "Reserve Unit" where you can "turn a page" on the select screen and find your three most commonly chosen teams + assists as pre-selectable items. If you're like most people and tend to play a few set teams, you can have those teams queued up and ready to rock without having to go scroll through the entire select screen every time. Very handy time-saver.
Tip from NewOrleansFrog.
Props to Andrew Bergeron, aka Ghosttear for the questions.
The reserve feature is pure win, I hate picking my characters in MvC2 then accidentally picking the wrong character or assist or just taking the time to search for characters on the character select screen if you forget where they are.
The inability to change control settings at the character select screen is fail though, it would have made tournaments go much smoother. At least put the feature in for Local play.
All I said was the leaks look to be very true. Just because Megaman, Frank West and some other hipster Marvel character aren't on the list, you're entitled to moan and attack other people. I guarantee if your favorites were on that leaked roster and it was shaping up to be true, you wouldn't be so butthurt all of the time.

Dude calm down it's not that serious to be making comments like that and so what if people are giving him credit for what he stated. Considering everyone bashed on him calling him a liar and that none of that stuff was going to be in the game. So yeah he deserves for at least a couple of people to be like yeah he was right.
Hmmm reserve unit is one hell of a great idea !
I have to admit !
Oh...my...GOD! This game is going to feature a RANDOM button?! NO WAY! That is SO TOTALLY FRIGGIN' AWESOME! I wasn't sure if I was going to get this game, but now that a random button has been confirmed for the character select screen, I'm pre-ordering 10 COPIES for EACH SYSTEM! RANDOM BUTTON, FTW!!!
As if they were going to leave out a random button for this game, sheesh. Anyways, the only real interesting bit of information here is the reserve feature. That should be a helpful addition. But this time around, I'm gonna mix up my characters a lot more.
Any new bit of MVC3 info is good enough for me!
#19 LOL Why do you care..... "bro?"
@24 I don't care if he read a Capcom employee's mind. My point is that people are still acting suprised that the list is correct after confirmation 2 reveals ago.
Sorry for having a shared opinion, I forgot the internet has laws againts that. Would'nt want to get a ticket or anything right?
xShonuffx and mark_morrison is just salty that Megaman isn't in the game.
Hmm the reserve unit is a very nice feature
