A number of new things about Marvel vs. Capcom 3 were revealed at San Diego Comic-Con. In case you missed it, there was a similar write up last week with additional details that can be found here.
Here's a quick rundown of the new stuff I was able to track down.
• Capcom is thinking about doing a demo for MvC3, but they're not sure what form it would take at this point.
• Seth Killian said the whole cast is almost finalized at this point, but there could be a switch or two.
• It was stated again that the Fantastic Four will not be playable characters.
• Balance issues will not plague Marvel vs. Capcom 3, like they did MvC2.
• Every character in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will have their own ending in story mode. These endings will feature other characters from the Marvel and Capcom franchises — even people that aren't playable like Ghost Rider and Man-Thing.

• Amaterasu can change her weapon to alter her attacks depending on what she wants to do. She also has a Hyper move that slows down time and makes it possible to land some combos that wouldn't be possible otherwise.
• Felicia currently has the smallest hitbox in the game, even smaller than Amaterasu, so she can walk under certain Hyper moves and attacks.
• Chun-Li has low stamina right now, but her Lightning Legs are great and she has an outstanding rush down game.
• Character themes will be returning. There will be new songs and updated old favorites in the game. Music has a very techno/dance feel to it so far. Some character themes are recycled from older Marvel and Street Fighter games.
• Depending on the characters you choose, they'll say different things to each other — basically, there is team recognition. If you pick a squad made up of The Avengers, there's specific dialogue related to that.
• Seth said it's too early to say for sure if alternative costumes will be in MvC3, but he thought it was a good idea. [Editor's note: Coupled with other statements previously made, this more than likely means they'll be in the game.]
