Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 images of character select screen, stage select, new stage

Posted by Catalyst — October 17, 2011 at 9:34 p.m. PDT

A lot of people were really hyped to see the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Heroes and Heralds mode direct feed trailer that was released today, but if you didn't pay close attention, you might have overlooked some notable details.

A new stage was shown for the game, which is a black and white version of the Ghosts'n Goblins stage, with a rain effect. Also, you get the full view of the character select screen with Frank West and Rocket Raccoon (sans Jill and Shuma-Gorath), along with the new stage select screen. Here are some images to save you the trouble of tracking them down.

Why is it so hard to get Frank's face right?

Dude130 said on October 17, 2011 at 9:41 p.m.

Frank looks drunk lol.

These "new stages" all look a little familiar...

Hrm said on October 17, 2011 at 9:47 p.m.

Considering all they've done to change the other stages, I hope there's more to the new GnG stage than just being black and white with rain.

@3 "Ok, check this out right. It's Celebrities houses...at night!"

Tensa said on October 17, 2011 at 9:51 p.m.

I love the new character select

Von_Kunlun_BOOF said on October 17, 2011 at 9:52 p.m.

They could have been a little more creative with the stages, instead of recycled ones at different points in time.

werewolfgold said on October 17, 2011 at 9:53 p.m.

I'm not gonna rage too hard over the stages.

But, wait... Why aren't Nova and RR next to each other on the select screen. Doesn't that ruin...everything?

gamefreak20 said on October 17, 2011 at 9:56 p.m.

I say it's suspicious, but it have 9 new stages. Well, I guess that we don't have to see the reveal after all.

Adam_Zapple said on October 17, 2011 at 9:57 p.m.

@5 Always appreciate a Fresh Prince reference.

SHOGUN said on October 17, 2011 at 10 p.m.

Frank West looks a but like Nic Cage.

Sure it would have been nice to have a few more new stages, but they've been recycling those for a while now. This is not a new occurrence.

#11

jtir123 said on October 17, 2011 at 10:06 p.m.

Word on the street is that the black and white stage is part of the mode...the more you complete the stage percentage, the more color returns to it. Don't quote my on that, it's a rumor that should be taken with a large grain of salt.

#12

courte said on October 17, 2011 at 10:07 p.m.

how is that a new stage?! i can't say it's like they didn't even try.

because they didn't even try

Why is there a black censor bar near the bottom of the first two screenshots?

#14

Fear4theHero47 said on October 17, 2011 at 10:09 p.m.

@12 that'd be pretty interesting.

#15

jp_ftw said on October 17, 2011 at 10:11 p.m.

The black and white stage is the effect that happens when someone uses the speed up buff in Heroes v Heralds. It's in the video. Not a new stage sadly...

#16

courte said on October 17, 2011 at 10:11 p.m.

@12
that's what i thought at first... but there it is clearly on the stage select.

it's a beautiful stage they all are, but make it black and white, add rain just seems...

and i think that censor bar is an information scroll akin to the bar during Tekken 6 Loading matches

#17

Mezerian said on October 17, 2011 at 10:12 p.m.

lol, Megaman and Gambit staring at each other in the background of the character select screen...
Bloody tease!

#18

Ozyroth said on October 17, 2011 at 10:18 p.m.

It's a new stage, just look at the stage select screen!

I like all the "new" stages even if they are recycled it's nice to see a diferente vesion and background tiem to time.

#19

GlassTop said on October 17, 2011 at 10:18 p.m.

If you look at the character select screen, you can see that all the characters that belong to their respected series are aligned vertically. you can see ryu,chun,akuma, and viper aligned for street fighter. Nemesis, Chris, and Wesker for Resident evil series. Vergil, Dante, Trish for DMC series.Firebrand and Arthur for Ghosts n Goblins. Morrigan, Felicia, Lei-Lei for Dark stalkers.America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk for Avengers. Wolverine, Storm, Sentinel, Magneto for X-man. You get the point.

Why is Franks face so weird???

Rocket Raccoon looks mean.

Dark_Pinoy said on October 17, 2011 at 10:29 p.m.

Why are there two unknowns left even though all the revealed characters are on the screen?

#23

neon6 said on October 17, 2011 at 10:30 p.m.

@11 remember when ssf4 came out and it brought new stages?

#24

YoshinatorZ said on October 17, 2011 at 10:32 p.m.

@23
It's Jill and Shuma. I don't know why they're missing.

#25

jtir123 said on October 17, 2011 at 10:32 p.m.

@23 Jill and Shuma.

#26

InitialR said on October 17, 2011 at 10:35 p.m.

Actually, they messed up twice, and both are on marvel. Rockt Raccoon and nova are mixed up. And for some reason spider man is in the middle of the x-men cast

#27

king_e_dawg said on October 17, 2011 at 10:35 p.m.

Wow, and I thought the OTHER "new" stages were uncreative... They seriously just washed out the colors on the GNG stage and added rain? Oh PLEASE take forty more dollars from me, Capcom! You've earned it, baby!

#28

Oroku_Saki said on October 17, 2011 at 10:35 p.m.

Um...Isn't this the stage from Makaimura Gaiden [Gargoyle's Quest I] on the gameboy¿ Those coffins remind me of the stage.

Damn, I'm showing my age, I have memories in black and white/green :'(

#29

InitialR said on October 17, 2011 at 10:36 p.m.

I'm guessing they are keepin the MvC2 tradition and having different "times" of the stages. I don't really mind it honestly.

#30

Dark_Pinoy said on October 17, 2011 at 10:36 p.m.

@25 and @26 Why would they leave them out if they come on the disk? =S

#31

jtir123 said on October 17, 2011 at 10:38 p.m.

@31 They're still DLC. If you downloaded them for Vanilla, they transfer over.

#32

YoshinatorZ said on October 17, 2011 at 10:38 p.m.

@31 That's probably the only thing I hate about Capcom concerning this game.

#33

Dark_Pinoy said on October 17, 2011 at 10:42 p.m.

@32 Oh.... ok.... I thought they came on the disk.

#34

StriderHiryu said on October 17, 2011 at 10:42 p.m.

So, that still only leaves us only about 50 characters if you include Jill and Shuma. So...where are the last two going to be?

#35

InitialR said on October 17, 2011 at 10:44 p.m.

Here we go again. If you didn't pay for them in Vanilla, WHY would you get them for free in the next game?

#36

jtir123 said on October 17, 2011 at 10:45 p.m.

@35 Frank West and Rocket Raccoon are in that picture, look closely =p

#37

MightyAfro said on October 17, 2011 at 10:45 p.m.

I see nothin' wrong with frank, but PW kinda looks derpy

#38

Dark_Pinoy said on October 17, 2011 at 10:58 p.m.

@36 Because Capcom is a dick like that and probably would do something like that :P

#39

InitialR said on October 17, 2011 at 11:03 p.m.

@39
Actually, its not them being a dick, its them not upsetting even more people then they have done already, namely, the people who weren't cheap or had enough interest in the new characters and actually bought them.

Who gives a f*ck about stages? "Ooooo must have shiny new stages!"

*! month later*

No one cares.

Hotdiddykong said on October 17, 2011 at 11:33 p.m.

Am I the only one who noticed how Horrible Frank's face looks in the character select screen? I hope its better than that.

I love the new stages, sure its the same stages but thats the point, nobody cares in fighting games so they just give us a new perspective, and its MUCH better than MvC2. Shadowland being in a middle of a city rather than a dojo, Daytime and ACTUALLY ON THE HELICARRIOR, the Main Menu is technically Better than Training Any day, Snow Kattlnox is peace,Calm with Servbots playing and you could actually see the scenery better, Days of Future's past is technically Different compared to Haggar's stage with Sents.

We only have a PICTURE of a black and White GnG stage with rain, as we know it MOVES and for all we know, there can be major changes, Heck, for all we know Astaroth could be someone else.

@Kshein:
That's the selected/current card.

#45

Maryokutai said on October 18, 2011 at 1:33 a.m.

@34: well, they are on the disc and only get unlocked when you buy the "DLC". There was a video up showing Jill even before the DLC was released, when someone with a hacked Xbox loaded hidden game files.
I think that’s pretty sad. And more so, almost every major company has done something like that once one twice already (Namco with Soul Calibur, Epic with Gears of War and so on).

I just make sure I’ll never buy something like this.

#46

Summoner said on October 18, 2011 at 1:42 a.m.

...i smell Frank West and Rocket Racoon gameplay reveals trailers very very soon...also don't like this stage, don't like idea of BW stage, i mean like we aren't in 40-50s move who soing to like it...besides it looks way too much to already existing stage (forgot name)...

#47

Snow said on October 18, 2011 at 1:44 a.m.

A black and White Ghosts and Goblins stage? Really now?
Couldn't they have just given us the galactus/ herald space stage from arcade mode instead of this one?

#48

Summoner said on October 18, 2011 at 1:50 a.m.

№48 ah yeah...ghosts and goblins that is...oh well gues i'm not alone at that statement...

#49

Hotdiddykong said on October 18, 2011 at 1:52 a.m.

@43
Well I guess its harsh, but it was unexpected atleast, Frank's ALWAYS changing his face in every game he appears

#50

InitialR said on October 18, 2011 at 2:16 a.m.

@46 Because $10 is alot of money...

#51

InitialR said on October 18, 2011 at 2:17 a.m.

Also just throwing this out there, Jill was on the Disc but she was incomplete. HENCE the reason they made her DLC.

#52

Denariax said on October 18, 2011 at 2:25 a.m.

This is just sad.

I'm pretty sure Frank is gonna play exactly like he did in TvC; you know, like Zero, Viewtiful Joe, Ryu, Chun Li, and Morrigan (sans Lilith obviously). Hey Caps, why not give us Megaman Volnutt and Soki while you're at it? Its not like you're putting much effort into using the exact same game engine while throwing some sparkly effects over Wii-generation models and changing minor details about each character.

#53

InitialR said on October 18, 2011 at 2:30 a.m.

@53 adding more characters is always a good thing

#54

50Sent said on October 18, 2011 at 2:49 a.m.

@53
Yeah, I'm not really sure why they put Ryu in there either. Might as well just make this game Ultimate Marvel vs Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition 2012. I mean really, what the hell Capcom?

#55

genesiskhan said on October 18, 2011 at 3:01 a.m.

so 12 new characters bringing it up to 50 right? so theres 48 with frank and raccoon soooo weres the beef? lol

#56

Denariax said on October 18, 2011 at 3:32 a.m.

@54, 55

Adding more characters is good. Adding characters that were already made is just lazy. Its pretty much proven now that all the ones I mentioned were just given a smaller bit of work than they were in their Wii incarnation. However, this feels like it could have easily been on, say, Xbox, rather than current-gen.

Its not that they were in another game, because thats what a crossover is. Its that they play almost identically; almost being the keyword, because they made the level 3 for Viewtiful Joe just a slowdown mechanic and changed to a level 1, and making Chun Lis Bang Shishigami-like air capture to a ground invincibility one. The problem isn't that they are in, but rather that its the same thing.

Also; Frank West is probably the reason Jill is in her RE5 incarnation, besides, you know, RE5 Wesker and Chris. Zombie call-ins.

That also being said, MVC3 as a game is just underdeveloped. It feels underdeveloped, it plays underdeveloped. That might just be my Tatsunoko and Bloody Roar hype, but there's not enough to do in MVC3 besides just fight. At least in Tatsunoko there were minigames, and a reason to play Arcade.

If they're trying to cater to the casual crowd for Marvel Vs Capcom 3, they're doing it horribly.

mp91 said on October 18, 2011 at 4:17 a.m.

there are only 2 new stages so far and that's it

More recycled stages...?

This has angered Doom.

I wouldn't mind the recycled stages if Capcom didn't promote them as NEW! FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!

#61

RedWaltz79 said on October 18, 2011 at 7:02 a.m.

@61

I agree. They aren't on the same team or anything. They are just both from Marvel U comics.

#62

neon6 said on October 18, 2011 at 7:12 a.m.

@42 really? you guys usually make such a big deal when you're trying to argue how good of a deal this game is whenever you mention the stages.

LuigiFan64 said on October 18, 2011 at 8:08 a.m.

Love the MvC picture at the left of the character select and the stage select. Which only begs the question: When is Marvel vs Capcom coming out for XBLA and PSN?!

#67

Wolfeyes187 said on October 18, 2011 at 8:24 a.m.

The character selection is out of order on the Marvel side.
It Should be:
X-men Stand Alone Characters
Phoenix Nova
X-23 Rocket Raccoon
Wolverine Ghostrider
Storm Iron Fist
Sentinel Deadpool
Magneto Spiderman

#68

Wolfeyes187 said on October 18, 2011 at 8:25 a.m.

bah that didn't work like it was supposed to.

X-men= Phoenix, X-23, Wolverine, Storm, Sentinel, Magneto

Stand alone characters= Nova, Rocket Raccoon, Ghostrider, Iron Fist, Deadpool, Spiderman

Obvious troll is obvious, dont ruin the game for us.

Hotdiddykong said on October 18, 2011 at 10:20 a.m.

@53
Why shouldnt he? Him,joe,and zero had a great moveset for First timers(Dont,tell me about Megaman Zero I know), why make a different one especially since franks moveset is Very unique? TvC had certain problems with his moveset, which this game will fix and make more fun just like Joe and Zero.

Thats like saying that the MvC2 characters are "Being the same" in Mvc3, pointless argument.

Also, anyone notice how Frank is literally the last batch with RR? Rather ironic considering since he was an unfinished character, who was supposed to be DLC, and shouldve been among the first to be revealed in UMVC? Im rather excited to see him in action!

#73

BrolySmurf said on October 18, 2011 at 12:42 p.m.

They shouldve put some real character art in the game, instead of using those ugly a$$ in-game models....they need more work...

Grayfire50 said on October 18, 2011 at 12:43 p.m.

Wow Frank looks more like his VA(Tj Rotolo)then his actual self!

#75

Denariax said on October 18, 2011 at 12:55 p.m.

The thing with that, 74, is that Tatsunoko vs Capcom isn't Marvel vs Capcom. Thats like saying Capcom vs SNK plays exactly like MVC; to my knowledge it doesn't.
