Awaiting the denial from those who still refuse to believe in the leaked list. Always good for a laugh.
@ MrPavy:
It looks like his Level 3 Hyper is gonna play a HUGE role in his arsenal as opposed to being something that you will 'hopefully, eventually' land.
But mostly you're right. He does look very "Evil Ryu"-ish
Also, of note: It looks like he's copying Hawkeye, Moon Knight and Spider-Man more than anything, even though Deadpool is his greatest adversary. Probably don't wanna copy TOO much from another character then... just the Spidey Swing.
Damn Shun-Goku-Satsu is faaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssst!
Lovely additions, they certainly bring more of a mix, especially Taskmaster, I had no idea they would make him THAT crazy!
Akuma isn't that much of a clone, surprisingly, and his demon flip kick is actually useful. The only thing that kinda threw me off was that his Messatsu Gou Hadou is now multiple, separate fireballs and his Tenma Gou Zankuu is a beam hyper...they switched places. lol
1ST OF ALL IT WOULD BE WAY BETTER TO HAVE AKUMA THEN RYU BECAUSE RYU VIRTUALLY PLAYS THE SAME IN EVERY GAME AND AKUMA OFFERS MORE POSSIBILITIES THAN KEN
2ND OF ALL WHEN THEY MAKE THE BUILD WITH THESE CHARACTERS SOME1 PLEASE BUT T.MASTER ON PLAYER 1 AND DEADPOOL ON PLAYER 2
"yaaaaayyyyy..."
Atleast akumas moves look kinda different, but basically do the same exact thing especially since shinkuu angles..whatever.
lol that AND the fatc that taskmaster basically revolves around mimicking his opponent. That's hilarious hey....I hate seth killains humour, i actually took him seriously when he said styles wouldnt copy from one character over another, this must have been just to spit in the eye of anyone who believed him
I think that's Steven Blum as Task
Now Task not having a Level 3 shown is disappointing
Dante and Deadpool looks like he's got some stiff competition in the moves market with Task now on the scene since he's using Hawkeye's bow work, Black Knight's Swordsmanship,Caps shield charge, and spideys swing as well as a pistol(he pulls it out during his grab and when he throws spencer down) I'm wondering if he has more than those 2 supers because if not he's very limited if so I WANNA SEE
Anyway Love the new twist on Akuma's theme
Not sure what to think of Task's theme it sounds kinda like Abel's listen to the main beat not the instruments http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZG78N...
Someone please upload the videos to Youtube or Vimeo. IGN videos don't load for me.
Taskmaster's music theme is sick!
I will say this, though: isn't it strange that they picked Hsien Ko for the grand reveal? Wouldn't Akuma/Sentinel be a little more epic to the hardcore fans?
All good, I guess. Still think Hsien Ko is the greatest thing since tits.

Boss is a Super version of Doom?
==============================================================
*Watches video again*
What the hell, you're right. That sucks! Hopefully it's a 3 part boss fight or something.
-Super Doom
-Virus Wesker
-...Galactus?
Liking what I see from Akuma. He looks faster than Ryu and has more options offensively. If he can aim his beam super, he'll be the shoto of choice.
@JoseRufus
Y'know...that sounds REALLY plausible! That sounds like something that would happen, because that was the first thing I thought of when I saw "Super Doom", he looked like he was infused with the Power Cosmic.
On another note, did anyone notice that Akuma beat Doom and Taskmaster beat Wesker as their final KO for their videos?
I like how they stayed true to Taskmaster & made him take moves from other people on the roster but still gave him other notable moves from the comics!
@Burn What's wrong with Haggar?
Amaterasu/Dante/Haggar FTW!
Ahhh akuma....looks like tokido intimidated capcom into putting his main into the game XD.
I noticed the part where they are fighting "super doom" the timer says SAVE THE EARTH and above the time it says earth limit? hmmmmmmm
Hmm it would be cool if Taskmaster had the ability to use one move for each character his team defeats, creating 2 special commands for this purpose and adding to his arsenal, or even 4 if he could take the abilities of his team mates that are KO'd. That would be pretty cool.
they should've incorporated akuma's second ultra from ssf4
QUICK EVERYONE!! Go to wikipedia and look up Taskmaster and come back talking about how he has always been your favorite Marvel character!
Most common online team: Dante/Deadpool/Taskmaster
not that im disappointed that Taskmaster's in it, but isn't he 'literally' the biggest clone of all?
@ArykheartX
Yeah, doesn't that sound like a climatic final battle??
I'm curious about the timer, "Earth Limit"
I know it's a normal timer, but I just had a crazy idea for how that last battle could have gone. What if it was like in MvC, how Onslaught had a "partner" come to attack for him while he regenerated health? That could have happened, but while a "partner" is fighting for Super Doom, he attacks the Earth, and if the timer reaches zero...TRY AGAIN?
Just my mind going crazy at 4:54 in the morning, off to sleep! X.x
http://i45.tinypic.com/veu061.jpg Just waiting for Hiro Kala to stomp on everybody and their mum
@chunli
for somereason that makes sense
AND IT SCARES ME!!
UMMMMMMMM catalyst shouldnt it be noted that on the Euro gamer site they clearly say 2 MORE CHARACTERS TO BE ANNOUNCED!!!!!
Clearly euro gaer knows something the rest of the world doesnt
Am I the only one thinking Akuma is not even close to a clone of Ryu in this game? Demo flip, angled haduken, horizontal hyper shoryuken, raging demon, different tatsu properties, teleport, different normals.... Akuma looks good, but who doesnt in their intro vids? Glad they through him in but stop with the omg clone and omg better ryu comments...edumacation peoples!
People who say Akuma is exactly like ryu knows 0 about fighting games
I rofl'd at #76's insane ignorance.
Akuma is in MvC because HE PRETTY MUCH STARTED THE CROSSOVER SERIES WHEN HE APPEARED IN COTA (and almost every crossover game after that). And if you really think Akuma is just Ryu with a raging demon, I urge you to rinse the feces out of your eyes and rewatch the trailer once or twice.
Wow this was the most unexciting MvC3 reveal. Not cause we already knew it but neither character looked any bit interesting. Akuma plays exactly like Ryu except a little faster and some ever-so-slightly different combos. And Taskmaster just looks like a Seth type where he just has a bunch of random moves that other characters already have.
With that said, it looks like Taskmaster is a great character with a lot of tools, but I never thought that I would be completely disappointed on new char reveals.
Hopefully when they release Hsien-ko and Sentinel soon. I want to see them play already.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vML5_k...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Alwot...
Here are some youtube links. Not the official ones, but still the trailers, so others may view too ^_^
@82 That would not prove it wrong it would prove it incomplete. As it would have no false information on it.
'kay ya just voicing out my frustration not really asking about it,
and i'm not gonna get into some internet argument BS here but i think i speak for many to say i'd prefer more variety of characters than another shoto clone in a title like mvc
taskmaster is just some crap i never seen b4 i'm not from america
thx anyway capcom
@85 you don't know anything if you think Akuma is just a shoto clone LMAO
89 is right.
If you're an Akuma fan, great. Be happy that your character got in. That's fine.
But don't kid yourselves and try to convince everyone that Akuma is some completely new and different character. He's SIMILAR to Ryu. Yes, similar. You need to accept this, and you also need to accept that there are a lot of people out there who would have much preferred to have a brand new character than another shoto who plays similarly to a character that's already on the roster.
HERE IS THAT VIDEO OF DOOM STEALING THE COSMIC POWER OF THE SILVER SURFER http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ws-u3...
AND THESE http://www.facebook.com/marvelvscapco...
And all you haters should just be grateful we are getting a great game and not be mad about any characters inclusion
@EmeraldFont
But there's a huge damn difference between being "similar" and BEING A CLONE. It's the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it.
And the only thing that's really similar anyway is the art design and his move template. If history is reflective, then his play style is neither similar nor identical to Ryu's.
Akuma? I knew he would be in but I don't really care. It's interesting that some of his properties are different. his Demon flip seems fast etc.
Taskmaster - Like the design don't care for the voice it doesn't seem to match his character, but that's just personal preference. His moves are Too similar to to Captain A and Spidey yet there are some unique aspects from what I see., Will still give him a look over. In fact I'll try all of them. They might all be really fun to use.
Crap I have to get Player Points to unlock them?? Craaaaaaap I hope they ain't talking about fighting online... I'm gonna be getting my arse kicked for these characters...
(Lol, they still didn't give him that ground pound super people wanted. Anyway, looks like TEAM USE-ALOT-OF-METER is now available:
Akuma-Viper-Phoenix
I wonder if people are still gonna say Akuma is using Ryu's theme now.
Was that a glimpse of BossDoom in single player?)
@#92
Or we are just going to accept that your opinion is garbage .
Even if he was actually similar , that's only two shotos among the street fighter characters of the game .
Whiners need to remember how it usually would take 60-70% of the list , and worse when some marvel chars used to be pure shoto clones too
kara
actually yes I have read Mark Twain(I'm an American by the way) but the fact you're wondering why there's a marvel character in a game called Marvel vs Capcom, the point is research the company learn what the characters that are being rumored and look into who they are. Like I only know about Taskmaster before this because I kept up with Marvel for a while and saw him in 3 different series(including his own mini)
EmeraldFont
the point the Akuma haters are saying stuff ranging from "he plays just like ryu but with a raging demon" and yes one person actually said that and "He's just another shoto" when that's not true on both accounts, I'm not akuma lover infact I probably won't play him unless gulie and charlie are in(because I like to go shoto vs air force) but am willing to point out someone being a f***ing dumbasss
ok, taskmaster has a bow...big woop. other than that, he's Deadpool, Dante, Spider-man, and Cap all rolled into one it looks like.....i'll still probably use him though lol
Time for some assessments
Taskmaster: Has a projectile reflect, Arrow shower, arrow fireballs on ground or air, and a web swing like move, and a command counter. That charging star like move seems to be a part of his fierce (C) chain due to the frequency of it happening everytime before he does an air launch.
For a guy that supposed to be good at mimicking, he doesnt show off alot of moves or diversity. Figure HE should have the most moves in the game or atleast as much as dante >_<
I really hope theres more to him than what they showed. Everyone else reveal trailer showed alot of things and possible speculation. Taskmaster seems to be basic and straight forward like ryu, capt america, etc.
@#116 Mark_Morrison
review doesnt sound bad, pretty accurate given that capcom has pushed the game to come out earlier than originally planned( less stages and characters)
And cheap last bosses should be the norm. If it keeps up like the other marvel games and be some big giant that cant block himself then accidentally losing 1 outta 3 characters isnt a big deal. Remember Cyber akuma had an air SGS as well as a very fast ground one( both unblockable), Onslaught hyper grav was unblockable, Abyss second form had them unblockable green bubbles.
Also he said it "seems" to be unblockable so its not a definite and could easily be patchable if proven problematic.
What do you mean "if that review is true"? The review didn't say anything! It didn't mention character balance, input response, story quality, or online play.
Basically, the reviewers knocked off a couple of points because there weren't enough stages and the final boss was too hard. It confirms what we already know: that non-fighting game fans aren't going to be crazy about MvsC3. That's no loss.
#116 It's truly sad if you let that review sway you and I hope that is not the case. I am happy with the amount of characters because they are quality characters. Need I remind you a good 10 characters out of MVC 2 were basically clones so its no real loss that we don't have said clones. Secondly the stages are dynamic and amazing looking so once again quality over quantity not to meniton MVC 2 didn't have that many stages. Most fighting games average an 8 or 9 I don't recall ever seeing a 10/10 for a fighting game. Super Street Fighter 4 average a 9 through most reviewers. Plus a cheap final boss in a fighting game? Wow what a surprise as if we haven't seen that a million times before.
@ 118
Stop being a tool lol.
Seriously,thinking a game is bad just because a review says it's lacking stages and has a cheap boss(lol,SNK)
Anyways,fighting games are still a niche genre,and the fact is that most people can't really appreciate fighting games because it takes alot of dedication to become good.
Imo,they are like reviewing a MMO.
You can't review it by just playing for a couple of hours.
You gotta put much effort into it and then you'll discover how deep/shallow the game is.
1.Glad AKUMA made it, cuz he got history with wolverine
and he was a hidden character in 1994/1995 COTA
and cyber akuma in MSH Vs SF.
2. at least Taskmaster Wear's cloths unlike that naked
Eunuch Seth from Street fighter 4
3. Capcom needs more Villains or is Wesker just that
evil that he make M.bison look like Sponge Bob.
I was actually looking forward to Akuma but his implementation is just a little disappointing. He still seems way too similar to Ryu...
And why does he have that Messatsu Go-Shoryu special? It would have been a lot cooler if he got the one from SF3 where he hits the ground and energy bursts out (can't remember what it's called). At the moment, he looks like just a more fun version than Ryu...
For all flamers, yes I know his attack options are completely different (I've played SSF4 extensively) but like Seth Killian said, in a game like MvC3 the subtle differences are less easy to notice.
#126 Sorry to hear that man there are people I wanted in it to but the thing is you just have to learn to move on and adapt to someone else. I have been waiting for Alex in Super Street Fighter 4 but I still haven't gotten him so instead I found someone else fun to use in Cody and Adon. You just gotta let it go.
Breaking News: Tokido say USA Free!!!!
Also I'm wondering how long it takes to get to 8000 points.
Shiiiit took me forever just to get past 4000 bp in SSF4 lol!
@#129
You talking about his KKZ level 3, he seems to do the pose for it as his win taunt just like he does in ssf4. Its only a reveal trailer he could have 2 different level 3s.
As to why he has the messatsu gou shoryu, he always had it since his odd debut in Xmen:COTA. Why would they take it out now lol especially no ken around doing a version of it.
Kickass Akuma voice, much improved from SSF4. Screw you, Japanophiles.
@#134
In the article posted it said that even people not really good at the game can unlock the all the characters within a few hours. Also said you can get 2000BP from beating the arcade mode once. So its not a big deal as people may be making it out to be.
Didn't like Taskmaster's VA at all. cool stuff anyways.
Still can't understand why no Bison though.
#91 Kara
Mark Twain is an author, not a book. And since he's an American author and historical figure, he's required reading in most high schools, so it's safe to say he has read it you dolt. You just proved his point. If you've read any Mark Twain novels outside of the states it's possible for u to have read Marvel as well. The printing press makes it possible.
Does anyone remember when Capcom said they had enough time to add more characters? was that before or after the leak list started going around? If so it may be true that we will be getting Hsien-ko and Sent but we could see some characters not on there. Now wouldnt that make for a nice curve ball at the end to prove the leak lists wrong :P
OH and one more thing. i assume these player points are similar to what they have in SSFIV. i dont play that so i was wondering if 2000/8000 player points is hard to get. will someone please enlighten me?
wow and they said there would be no akuma... does this mean cyclops and juggernaut are still possibilities???
Holy Crap! Taskmaster is awesome! He bones for whom the was already boned. Akuma was kinda the same but then again why change it? OMG!
I dunno what's worse. Akuma not playing really any different or the fact that you have to earn player points to unlock him and Taskmaster.
What about the people excited for this game despite not being good at fighting games? Or the rare case of a person not having online capabilities? Will we still be able to earn player points without fighting people online? I mean, god, Capcom, you really want piss some people off, don't you?
@#143 and #150
It seems like you two failed to read the article, and my comment previous about pointing it out. They said that you can get 2000 player points for playing through the arcade mode once, that = akuma most likely. Also states that most people can unlock the all the characters within a few hours regardless of skill.
@#141
how would capcom adding characters outside the whats been predicted to prove the list wrong? It would just show that everything wasnt leaked thus incomplete, what would prove it wrong such as having wrong characters.
@150 From Eurogamer:
"2000 PP is roughly equivalent to a single playthrough of Arcade Mode. You also earn them by playing multiplayer, doing character challenges and spending time in training mode. Capcom estimates most players will have unlocked all the secret characters within a couple of hours, regardless of skill leve"
Thank you for showing us our failed ways #154. Thanks! ^_^
People who say Akuma isn't different, play him when you get the game. Just try him out. Turtling doesn't work that well with out the Air Ball. And even then, #153, that's his Exact same move set from X-Men vs Street Fighter and Marvel vs Street Fighter. So, unless you want to fight online Akuma's with instant access to Double Air Fire Balls like Children of the Atom, shut it. I don't.
So, I'm anticipating that if Nimrod ain't in, and Sentinel is, Nimrod color should be added. If not, Nimrod will be all dull if not in MvC3 in any shape or fashion.
@152 and 253
WOW, you guys should stop acting like babies
@155 Oh thank god. Some of us had to give up on XboxLive recently to pay for other things.
So now that Akuma is confirmed, who is even going to bother picking Ryu.....
Guys, you can get Player Points offline doing any of the game modes.
3 things...
1) I can say here that Akuma is NO shoto clone. He's fast, strong and amazing. His theme is also great which symbolizes Akuma.
2) Taskmaster... is *imitates the Miz* AWESOME!!! I mean it... he's awesome. I can't wait to have fun with him.
3) Knew that it was inevitable BUT I never thought they'd be unlockable. Looks like I need to put my game face on if I'm to unlock them.
That's all. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be unleashing my anger on why Mega Man hasn't been revealed yet elsewhere.
I'm just wondering if they will implement Taskmaskers ability to copy move...lets hope
Akuma is cool.
But taskmaster is retardely bland. Another stupid addition to the game, to join the ranks of ''fan-favorites'' like x-23, dormammu, she hulk and MODOK.And Sentinel another bland and boring character is back. A robot devoid of any personality.
The capcom part of the roster is way better than the second iteration of this game.But the marvel roster is WAY WAY WORSE.
Why capcom wouldnt characters like Cable, Apocalipse, Silver Surfer, Nightcrawler, Dr Strange, Namor, Green globin, Dr octopus, Omega Red, Ciclops, Emma Frost, Psylocke and many others.
One and another thing. We probably going to get Ice-man as a dlc, since a reason they cut out silver surfer was because he looked alike ice man.
"ccording to EuroGamer both of these characters are unlockable fighters. Akuma is unlocked after reaching 2,000 player points, Taskmaster 8,000."
That's awesome! I'll be sure to just reach 2,000 and circumvent the autosave BS so I never reach 8,000.
Never playing this game online and I don't care about trophies /achievements, so I'll never have to be concerned about it in the slightest.
I hope it's the same for She-Hulk, X-23 and Omega Head, too. I'll avoid them like the Black-Ebola-Plauge-Aids.
I would complain about Akuma, but he actually looks fun... so instead I'll complain about Ryu. Ryu is lame.
Taskmaster looks fun, but I was hoping he'd be like Charade or Olcadan from Soul Calibur, where he completely copies a fighting style for the match. It would have been hilarious to see him mimic MODOK.
What happened to the 3 hit Marvel Female combo? Where's my damn Elektra!? -_-
Is TaskMaster the "Crazy" character Seth Killian wasn't allowed to mention a while ago or was that Phoenix ?
------------

--
One of the problems with saying Akuma is just a better Ryu clone stems from their SF4 iterations. While Akuma pirates much of Ryu's move list their actual functionality completely different ultimately making him a completely different character with moves that look similar but act entirely different.
I was personally hoping they would re-imagine Akuma's Hyper offerings. Admittedly I love the new Shungokusatsu -- its nice to see it be a powerful move in its original iteration. However I was dreaming of him having Kongou Kokuretsu Zan again and perhaps Messatsugourasen or Demon Armageddon although I feel these moves are essentially the same thing.
first of all can people shut the heck up about the lists? im sick of reading them and people saying " oh they are in denial.."
i mean seriously who cares if they are real or fake!
second what are player points?
Akuma.....wow....they really spruced up the visuals on his moves...daaaaaaaaaamn....
Eventhubs.com has to many idiot kids on here. The only one thing the shotos have in common is the discipline they know but they styles have subtle differences and if one plays the same with all of them they going to lose.
Akuma is no clone of Ryu because he has his own style and requires a different approach. And I have no doubts of Akuma being in the game because he has been in every VS game to date and he was a boss character in Marvel VS Street. I am just glad Akuma is back with all of his supers with no compromise.
who was Akuma fighting at 0:50? it looked like dr doom, but in like some metallic boss form. O_o
For some reason I expected a ghoulish voice for Taskmaster lol I think he will be the more talked about
The best part of Akuma's trailer was the new stage.
Anyways, Taskmaster seems like the broken character people have been asking for. Look at the damage done to Dante, it's like a 70% combo.
#184, I have more than enough friends visiting me on the daily. Online is just too impersonal and it's never the same as a regular-ol' face-to-face confrontation.
The "online play" has absolutely no charm in it whatsoever for me. Most people on planet earth who can't seem to breathe without playing online either really have no idea what they're missing or have simply forgotten what having a REAL circle of friends to hang out with feels like.
That's great I guess, better akuma than Ken, akumas different.
Trackmaster looks awesome!
Atleast we know there will be unlockable characters!
C'mon Gouken!!! Cant have the Satsui no Hado without the "Mu-no-ken(Power of Nothingness)".
@153
I haven't seen any marvel character with a new moveset either so you can't just say anything to capcom only.
Jill is being completely renewed, but I wonder if shims gorath with have his same moveset.
I dont care who it is but more characters = win!
#125
I was thinking the same thing lol. I was like, man they sure sped the game pace up then I was like, oh wait IGN plays at 60fps lol. If I recall correctly, I believe they said MVC3 will play at 60fps, I gotta find that thread again talking about it.
#194
Playing with friends is always fun but it's always the same competition. You can't beat having the hilariously funny people getting mad on the mic online lol.
Well, if you know how to play Ryu, then learning Akuma isnt very difficult.
Similar clones if you will lol
As was said on this board, Akuma has history of being the star crossover character.
Not only did he first appear in Xmen:cota(1994) he also appeared in the fighitng game 'Cyberbots'(1995) as Zero Akuma.
Cant wait for this to come out!
@183 If he is then Seth really overhyped the guy. I can't deny that Taskmaster is crazy, especially moveset-wise. But I can't say that he's what I'd call the craziest character ever put in a fighting game either because the idea of a character who's moveset is a mix of various existing characters' moves, (Not that Taskmaster doesn't have his own original stuff...) has been done before. If anything MODOK and Deadpool are far crazier than Taskmaster.
Don't get me wrong. I like how he plays (and this is coming from someone who wasn't interested in Tasky as far as the comics go) but I wouldn't say he's the craziest thing ever in MvC.
ya know what i just thought of with what eurogamer's last sentence says now that im fully awake now.....
It doesnt mean there is only two more characters to be revealed...... it means maybe there are two more soon to be revealed
I mean they would have said "two more characters left to reveal" wouldnt they?
but yet they said "Two more characters are to be revealed. "
@174
Complain, complain, complain.
You have a list of uninteresting characters. This is the problems, the fans (98% of the time) ruin the game. Let the creators do the talk and choosing
Kinda sad that they made akumas air fireball super a beam instead of actuall fireballs? And then what happened to his hurricane kick super!!!! He has em all cept that one....... And the major point why are people asking for dead marvel characters and boss characters when they know that most likely it won't ever happen
BEST DAY FRIGGIN EVER!!!! MUTHAFUDGING DREAMS COME TRUE IN THE FORM OF THE DEMON THAT IS AKUMA!!!!YEAH BIYOTCHES!!! THIS IS FOR ALL YOU SHOTOHATERS...NAN NANNI NAN NAI...AKUMA IS HERE 2 STAY...GET READY FOR THE RAGE OF DEMON...Seeing this game play..im like Capcom finally has ANOTHER HEAVY HITTER..WAR IS ON..NOW add ELECKTRA...AND LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!!! oh yeah the skeleton version of link looks cool...im just playin..TASKMASTER FRIGGIN ROCKS!!!!
Looks like that "Misogi" special everyone was clamoring for has been reduced to a victory pose...again. I actually would've liked to have seen how that finisher would look MVC3 style. At least he isn't too much of a clone of Ryu, only a little.
Also, does anyone else hear little girls giggling when Akuma punches the floor in his winning pose? I guess he's not that intimidating.
Taskmaster looks amazing! REALLY fun to play as, it looks like. His moves are a nice balance between unique and borrowed from other characters. Although I wasn't expecting his voice to sound quite like that. His music sounds great, too. All and all, looking forward to play as this guy!
Not gonna lie guys, I did not want Akuma from the beginning, but this video changed my mind :P
@#216
Misogi and the KKZ are 2 totally different things. Earlier here was people talking about KKZ from 3rd strike. Misogi on the other hand is Shin Akumas, in which is find much more devastating than what the KKZ only appearance does. Misogi auto tracks and is unblockable. KKZ: Akuma just invulnerable until he pounds the ground and engulf the area around him in power energy but is blockable in 3s.
Once again Lupe was right and I don't care who comes behind me and bash. It's not about riding anyone. The matter of the fact is that when he told everyone about the releases a lot of people jumped on him calling him a lair and a fake. So yeah as I mentioned before he deserves for some people to say he was right cause he has been ever since he announced it.
They're really saving Hsein Ko for last? She's a great character but that's the most unhype final announcement they could have made apart from announcing Spencer last...
god im sick of this site having so many people complain!
its like 1 percent i see people are like " yay new characters"
the rest are bumbling idiots who cant accept the character roster.
1. i rather have more diversity
2. i dont care who makes it, the game will be awesome no matter who is in it
3. if you like the marvel vs capcom 2 roster so much, just go out and buy or download marvel vs capcom 2! no one is stopping you!
4. we are finally getting a sequel since the past ten years Capcom probably had to go through some lincense battle with marvel to actually get the project up and running.
5. we are finally getting a sequel and all you guys can do is bitch and moan about one character?!
im sorry but there is a reason i dont comment on here that often. most of the people on here are either trolls or nerds who dont like games for one specific thing!
either grow up! or shut it
taskmnaster? really? he looks like a c-level mutant
having modok, shuma, and dormamu are bad enough.
from the whole marvel univers why would they even include these 4?
no one from the fantastic 4(how is this possible??!).
no sentry(marvel's most powerful doesn't make an appearance? oook)
only way to make up for these are if they would release marvel zombie skins for dlc(lol)
Wrath of the Raging Demon was so fast and it can be used as to counter someone randomly using a hyper pretty OP
I think Doom stole the Power Cosmic from Silver Surfer again. But I'm not going to go into speculation. Sigh...Akuma's in the game...whoo...at least someone on the Capcom side can represent the glass cannon while Phoenix is mucking it all up on her side. As for Taskmaster, I'm impressed. I look forward to his Level 3 and I don't think he copies his opponent's moves, I just think he has a set amount of moves he's copied from the fighters of Marvel. I wouldn't be surprised if he threw out some sais or something. Plus, he doesn't like copying Moon Knight's fighting style, because Moon Knight would rather take a punch and give one back (Cross Counter?) than dodge. He was copying Black Knight's sword style, Capt's shield work, Spidey's swinging, and Hawkeye's bows (with the kinetic device he stole from SHIELD in an issue or two). Probably might take something from Daredevil too, who knows.
Taskmaster. I know he was leaked but I was hoping the list to be FALSE.
If you were going to put another gun and sword character, why not Blade? It's Martin Luther King Day and this would've been a better reveal of any of the numerous black characters from Marvel - like Blade, Dr. Voodoo, Luke Cage, and Sunspot.
As for Akuma, he's a waste of a slot which could've been much better used for Mega Man. I mean we have 4 SF characters: Ryu, Chun Li, Viper, and Gouki. 3 RE characters: Jill, Chris, and Wesker.
Why not take out Akuma and add Megaman to even it out 3 SF, 3 RE, and 3 Mega Man characters?
@#242
You know better to just remove ryu and leave akuma, all i see ryu doing that akuma doesnt is a wall bounce boot kick
@240 Whaaaaaaaaa whhhaaaaaaaaaa my characters didn't get in whaaaaaaa whaaaaaaaa
@Nissan
I'm not crying. I'm not even getting this game. I was never into the vs. series. I knew about the Taskmaster leak and feel that his slot could've been better suited for another character with similar abilities, that's all.
As for Akuma - I feel he is a waste of a slot. It's my opinion and I don't like the character but alot of people do. That should've been a slot for Mega Man or any other capcom character, but Akuma is overused and it's bad enough Ryu is already in the game(yes I know they play differently).
Akuma was in the exact same leak as Taskmaster. He isn't a wasted slot he was the first crossover character if you know your history so he is very significant. He plays nothing like Ryu. Sure he has fireball and a dragon punch but the way he plays is way different. And he is overused? Please no one will use Ryu and Akuma this game. The overused charcters are going to be Dante/Deadpool/Taskmaster/Wesker
@Nissan
I'm not talking about overused as in people are going to overuse him in the game. Overused as in Capcom throws him in everything/anything. Ex. Oni Akuma in SSFIV AE(a game mind you that has Akuma already, smh)
I know of Akuma's history with the vs. series, I grew up with friends that loved these games. I'm just not a fan and speaking my mind on who could've been put in. I don't care that he's in but Mega Man should've been there instead, In My Opinion.
As for Taskmaster, he's cool but I felt there were tons of other sword based Marvel characters that could've been used.
P.S. - In my original post I said I was aware of the leak list, but was hoping it to be FALSE.
DLC man. They had to save a handful of popular characters so they could make some serious dough for DLC. Thus would be a perfect time to implement characters like Megaman/Strider/Cyclops etc.
@249 that will be the most popular team online. Equivalent to Ryu in SSF4... more power to you though.
I bet Capcom put Akuma in the game because they knew Tokido was gonna play it for realz!
Tokido time baby! lol
I really wish Akuma had Misogi. Akuma isn't a clone of Ryu, but they still need to ditch Ryu for another character slot. But since he's Capcom's Poster Boy/Baby of the crossover and sf series, they have to keep him.
Taskmaster is Brutal, I can already see some wicked combo potential with him and his aerial swings to charging star to re-launch.
ON a side note, Bison Should be brought back. DLC or something. I would like to see him doing some sick otg combo's, they could really get creative, imo. From all his appearances in fighting games, he has an amazing movelist to choose from. I'm tired of the 09'ers who only play Super and say they need to keep Bison out.
Wow Akuma looks amazing and so fast now i might play this game seriously why the "salt" about Akuma being in this game I'm glad none of u major in making fighting games b/c they would be garbage i think FREE1UP is so free about his thoughts on any given game he is critical about any thing shoto related and a very unthankful gamer complaining about akuma and task being in the game wow man and many of u as well
@#261
That win pose isnt the misogi, The KKZ from 3s is what that mimics. Dunno how people keep mixing up the two :/
Also for others that really dont know about the misogi

And the KKZ from 3s http://www.fteam.org/EDLB/wp-content/...

Depending what game version you are playing, the Misogi will have different factors to it.
CvsS2 - Extremely fast and it IS blockable here
SvC Chaos - A tad slower giving you time to counter but it's not blockable. In this game, it actually flips back n forth from being a cross up attack. So holding back can sometimes make you walk forward into it. Your only chance is a counter or teleport.
Do none of you read? You get about 2000 PP every time you beat Arcade mode. You get PP for playing any mode, including spending time in training. Capcom specifically stated that you'll have both characters within a couple of hours of playing the game. It's all right there in the Eurogamer article.
Impossible! We had no idea these guys were coming! ;-) I'm stoked though. Taskmaster looks unique and awesome!!
