Capcom Marvel vs. Capcom 3

I'm talking about Asia though. Arcades are still massive out there. Hell, people actually get treated for addictions to arcades and internet cafe things.

ok is it wrong that the one thing i want is stories

i loved 2 but it royally pissed me off when i beat the game and only got credits, at least give me something

Ditto, I loved MKvsDC's story though it was stupid as hell.

Ehhh Superskrull is awesome anyway.

But if he gets in and the likes of Nova or Thor don't i will be left scratching my head... to say the least.

Thor has a way better than chance than Nova, though I'd want him in.

With the success of these versus games and Marvel fighting games by Capcom in general, I wonder why we never got a DC game. Did WB simply never approach Capcom? I wonder why not.

They approached & then bought Mortal Kombat & it's company.

I hope you can change costumes. I want to play as War Machine. Thats who I always was in the first game.

I want him as a real playable, that plays different from IM.

I also doubt we'd get Juggernaut again. From what we've read so far, they are really looking for a varied roster and try to get characters that don't fulfill the same roles. And we already have Hulk.

Juggy's popular with the non-comic fans, thanks to the 'I'M DA JUGGANOT b*****!" videos. So he could get in.

I actually liked X-23 ever since I saw her first appear in X-Men Evolution. She would indeed play different from Wolverine, just alone because of her agility and and blades in her feet.

But I think she'd be an odd choice, looking at the vast X-Men library of characters. If we only get 30, I'd really prefer someone else. If we might get a number closer to 40, I wouldn't mind.

oh okay, thats why I said unless its Japan. I know theres still an arcade presensce there. I see an arcade version possibly showing up in Asia but I doubt NA or EU would see one. There arent enough of them to make it worth creating a unit for

Well, the last two aren't really solid reasons why the list would be BS. There's no guarantee of any of the heroes you posted having a spot. In fact, Daredevil and the F4 have been excluded before, and maybe they just don't want to make the game a total X-wankfest and want to utilize other characters. I mean, that list already has like six X-Men (which is already way too damn many), adding more would with the last two would just suck

Even if X-23 is a literal clone of Wolverine, it's not unheard of for characters to be similar, but have a variation of sorts. Just like at Ryu and Ken, they are similar in move sets and how they play, but overall they're pretty different.

If the roster is gonna be smaller than MVC2, then a character that obscure shouldn't get in over DD and the F4 who are more important characters. I do agree about the X-men. We don't want too many.

And we shouldn't get characters that are similar to another. So with Ryu confirmed, there should be no Ken, no Akuma, no Dan, no Sakura. I don't see how they could not make X-23 similar to Wolverine.

Wrong. X-23 is NOT just a female Wolverine.

But I would say the list is false. From what Ive heard the X-men in this are Wolverine, X-23, Jean Grey and Cyclops

Ehh...she's close enough.

 

[Nathan]

I don't see how they could not make X-23 similar to Wolverine.

They wouldn't be like Ryu and Ken who visited the same school and as a result fight very similar. She's got a completely different build, is more athletic and doesn't rely on brute force like Wolverine. She'd be using a lot more kicks simply because of the blades in her feet. They both have adamantium claws, but the fighting style would be completely different.

Like a mix between Vega, Chun Li and Wolverine.

 

[Havok83]

I don't see how they could not make X-23 similar to Wolverine.

Ehh...she's close enough.

again her speed, agility and blades on her feet. Those offer moves that cant be replicated with Wolverine

 

[Oscorp]

As someone said, with less characters in the roster, they will probably not have too many similar characters. Which is also why I doubt Venom won't make a return.

I really hope Green Goblin is there!

 

[ProjectPat2280]

X-23 has no business getting in the game over more popular X-Men if the roster size is going to be limited. The fact that so many ppl think she's just a female Wolverine can attest to that. Like someone else said, if we get a larger roster, bring her in, if not, go with someone more popular.

 

[Tron Bonne]

If the roster is gonna be smaller than MVC2, then a character that obscure shouldn't get in over DD and the F4 who are more important characters. I do agree about the X-men. We don't want too many.

Eh, I can agree that the F4 and Daredevil are more important in several contexts, but their simply not that huge of a draw. I mean, don't get me wrong, the I love the F4 and they're iconic in their own right, but overall they just don't have the selling power of characters like Spidey and Hulk. Their movies have only had decent success, their comic hovers in mid-tier sales range, and as I said, they have been skipped in many of the previous titles. It might be something as simple as the developers not being fans of the characters, and them not being big enough draws that the publishing side enforces it.

As far as Daredevil, he's even lower on the list.

And we shouldn't get characters that are similar to another. So with Ryu confirmed, there should be no Ken, no Akuma, no Dan, no Sakura. I don't see how they could not make X-23 similar to Wolverine.

See Nathan and Havok's posts on the character. She really would not be that difficult to design differently than Wolverine.

Honestly, I don't see a problem with having one or two lesser fanboy-approved characters on each side. Yeah, I know we all want our favorite characters and such, but we're going to get all the popular stuff, there's no doubt of it. If the developers want a little leeway to do something that they may be a fan of or simply want to do something different than the norm, more power to them.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea i don't mind a few obscure characters. Superskrull is reeeeally obscure, but he'd have an awesome power set.

Same with Nova. It pains me to say it, but he is obscure too. But it's undeniable that he would be sick to play as.

 

[Havok83]

I hope they put at least one female Avenger in this. Id love to play as Ms. Marvel or Spider-woman

 

[zeptron]

I think one of the silhouettes we can't make out might be Trish.

 

[zeptron]

EDIT: Double post.

[Nathan]

I'm almost completely convinced that that is Trish. Not only because of the arm piece she is wearing, but also when you look closely at the silhouette, you can see the character is wearing something that is not connected and free at the mid-section. Just like Trish.

 

[Aztec]

It looks like they are making some really interesting character choices. They seem to be heading in a much darker direction with this game. I like this!

 

[Nathan]

Since they want this to have a story, it would make sense. They'd probably want to avoid any or too many joke characters. So we probably won't see the likes of Roll in this game.

And I have to say, I'm actually glad this gets a story, for the simple reason that it means this won't be a random mess of crazy stages and weird ass music like MvC2 was. This game will probably have many stages that are character relevant and important to the event and the music will set you into the appropiate mood of two worlds clashing and duking it out.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's ironic that I'm saying this because story is virtually all that matters to me in other games, but for fighting games, story's not really that important. I kind of liked the mish-mash element of MvC 2. Just take as many characters as you possibly can, throw them in a game, and let the players go crazy.

But we'll see how they incorporate the story into this one. Could be good. I doubt it'll make much of a difference in the end, but we'll see.

 

[Nathan]

I don't mind a bunch of different characters, as long as they are not characters like Roll. Honestly, who's idea was that? But I was never particular fond of the music or the stages. Luckily, with MvC2 released on PSN/Live, I can at least take care of the music part.

 

[Nathan]

A little something I threw together. Just to see all currently speculated characters from the Promo art standing next to each other. If this really is the roster so far, I'm not disappointed. Well, except for Dormammu and Frank West.

It's kinda big, so I put it in spoilers.

[Ipodman]

Deadpool sounds interesting...

And I hope you cant "button-mash" your way into the game. Ive seen people in the arcade just hitting all the buttons at once on MVC2 and you can get quite far

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I hope you can. That's the only way I ever got anywhere in the MvC series.

Button mashing in that one's special, though. Not every game has one button access to half-screen filling towers of energy.

No, but seriously, I probably like fighting game stories more than most, and I'm personally not jumping at the bit as to why Wolverine is fighting Ryu. I mean, it's cool, because it gives meaning to the endings and all, but I am oddly not interested. Perhaps it's because the old games downplayed it so much. Didn't X-Men vs Street Fighter just...HAVE both X-Men and Street FIghter characters as if they where in the same world? I'm not complaining or anything, though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That's how I remember all of the Capcom crossover games. And hey, if it's good enough for Super Smash Bros., it's good enough for Capcom.

 

[Ipodman]

I hope you can. That's the only way I ever got anywhere in the MvC series.

well, in King of Fighters (If anyone knows whats that), they give you two modes to choose from, Easy and Normal. In Easy, you can button-mash and do your thing... you will 'accidentally' unleash some combos and special attacks. But it's only on Normal that you can do your most powerful attacks. So yea.

Doesnt MVC2 have these two modes already?
