Marvel v Capcom 3 discussion

[CaptKirby]

On the Marvel side, why Storm and no Cyclops? Ok, most rational question out of the way, no Gambit and Psylocke makes me want to cry. Why do we have an original character from X-Men Evolution?

Hey man when you can throw a shitty female Wolverine clone into a game instead of one/all of the Fantastic Four then you have to do it.

(Stretch & Torch are made for this game, they could be like Blackheart and Doctor Doom/War Machine loosely in terms of controls so that part would not have been hard to deal with, and if Juggernaut is out then what is wrong with throwing in the Thing? Invisible Woman would probably not be as fun as the rest because she honestly just has the least powers.)

I used to just mess around with MvC2, not competitive or anything, but I always used a team of Sonson, Amingo, and Captain America. Captain America was pretty easy for me to use, and the other two were just kind of fun. Especially Amingo. I'd like to see him again, but I can't say I expect to see it, sadly.

Silver Surfer and Ghost Rider were both deconfirmed because Capcom said it'd be too difficult to implement their "vehicles," even though Ghost Rider is perfectly capable of kicking ass without his motorcycle. Penance Stare Hypercombo? Yes please.

Super Skrull was put in instead of the individual members of the Fantastic Four to open up character slots. But you'll still see Stretch as an NPC, considering he gets an instant hard-on at the mention of other dimensions. Supposedly Phoenix Wright will make a cameo in She-Hulk's ending, too.

While Cyclops is arguable one of the most important characters to the X-Men storyline, his spot in this type of game is better filled by a lot of people. Ryu and Akuma already have the hand-to-hand combat with a decent-at-best projectile. And I'm sure X-23 was included because somebody really wants to shove the Weapon X arc down our throats (I'm highly disappointed with Omega Red not being in).

The Gambit and M.O.D.O.K. announcements were both on the same day at some convention. According to someone on Facebook that was there, when they announced M.O.D.O.K. it was dead silent. Who cares about M.O.D.O.K., especially with all the other Marvel robots that are actually cool, like Vision or Ultron (Sentinel's rumored to be in but take that with a grain of salt)? But when they deconfirmed Gambit, everyone was totally pissed off, to the point where one guy had to be escorted out of the room. Hell, he's been in it since MvC1.

But there's always DLC.

...and now some leaks!

No surprise, Galactus is most likely the final boss.

Taskmaster included in Dr. Doom's League of Evil, or whatever he's calling it.

Darkstalkers 15

Make a team composed of those who dwell in the darkness, and win a match. (Arcade/Xbox LIVE only)

Refers to the presence of a third Darkstalkers character (so far we have Morrigan and Felicia), most likely Hsien-Ko.

Weapon X 15

Make a team composed of Weapon-X test subjects, and win a match. (Arcade/Xbox LIVE only)

HEY! REMEMBER WEAPON X?! THE OVERSATURATION OF WOLVERINE AND DEADPOOL? HUHHHH?!!?!?!

 

[BAIKA]

Anticipating the release of this game quite a bit. Dante bounce combos are going to be amazing.

I'm megahyped for this game. I was sold the instand M.O.D.O.K was announced. I usually prefer rushdown characters, but I'll make an exception for MODOK. His moveset looks extremely fun and effective (also irritating to face) I am sooo going to troll with him online.

this made me laugh, plus points if it was intentional

 

[Morm]

I'm disappointed by the lack of Nightcrawler, Psylocke or Gambit so far. My favorite characters and the reason for me to get this game hangs in the balance: How many characters can I expect in this game?

 

[TaiCrunch]

They're announcing four more characters before it's released, not including DLC. Nightcrawler would play too much like Deadpool to offer anything unique, but yeah, Psylocke and Gambit not being in has pissed us all off.

 

[CaptKirby]

Do not get me wrong, I am going to have fun playing as Super Skrull. I just do not get the point of not putting your fucking flagship characters (Marvel became famous on the coattails of Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four the most, I believe) in a game that they suit absolutely perfectly. If they can waste a slot on X-23, if they can waste slots on awful Capcom characters, then they could have definitely found some room for all of the FF! or even just the Torch and Stretch (who again suit the style the best)

no Nightcrawler is probably dumb too...he would excite fans

 

[Firestorm]

Because now they can sell them as additional downloadable content!
Or in Super Marvel vs Capcom 3.

 

[Steelicks]

yeah, since Megaman is now looking unlikely as part of the initial roster, Capcom will make a pretty penny selling him as DLC later on

apparently Marvel had a HUGE amount of sway over which of their characters get into the game... like X-23 is a recent character in comics, She-Hulk has a new series starting, etc. apparently Marvel didnt really want Cyclops in, and took a lot of convincing for Shuma Gorath to be approved for DLC

Nightcrawler probably didnt make it because hes dead in the comics =(

Capcom wanted to, but weren't allowed by Marvel to put them in as PC's only as NPC's.

 

[TaiCrunch]

I'd imagine Mr. Fantastic would just play like Dhalsim without a projectile, but some really really cool-looking hypercombos. Expect a LOT of DLC (guaranteed they won't make other editions though).

 

[Steelicks]

taskmaster and akuma in da house!

http://shoryuken.com/content/taskmaster-akuma-marvel-vs-capcom-3-3197/

 

[Eiganjo]

holy hell that wrath of the raging demon comes out much much faster then in SSF4.
but taskmaster looks very interesting as well :D
I'd love to see Sigma as the megaman opposite to zero, but doesnt tron already fill that role?
also did Akuma's intro movie at 50 seconds show a super Doc Doom as Final Boss, maybe with the Power Galactic?

 

[TaiCrunch]

It's definitely possible, Doom, Wesker, and Galactus is probably a 3-part final boss fight. Super Doom, Virus Wesker, and Galactus maybe?

Akuma looks about like I expected him to look, but damn are his supers fast. Raging demon actually looks usable without perfect prediction or setup.

HOLY SHIT TASKMASTER. Web Swing, Charging Star, a Black Knight super, Hawkeye's entire moveset, and random gunshots.

Pretty cool how unlocking these guys is based on player points, it gives people incentive to actually learn how to play the game. 2000 will probably be easy to get, so expect a lot of Akuma spam early on. But 8000 will take a lot of work, skill, and luck, but damn does it look worth it.

EDIT: I swear I recognize Taskmaster's voice from somewhere. Anyone know who it is?

 

[Eiganjo]

Steve Blum it sounds like.
or that must be me, but the voice sounds like his :P
hmm, unlockable chars, meh.
now I need to revise my plan :P

 

[Delibird1]

No more megaman noooooo.
I'm psyched for this game

 

[Plusle]

Can't wait for this

Akuma and Taskmaster gameplay videos.

Revival time! So it seems that a certain german magazine have published their MvC3 review, and accidentally snapped Sentinel. Looks like lupinko was right the whole time through. The images were pretty huge so I put 'em in hide tags.

Aaand...

[TaiCrunch]

bet you anything 90% of teams launch week will be Magneto/Storm/Sentinel.

 

[lilyhollow]

Nah, most casual players probably hated that shit in MvC2, and half of the competitive players have already gotten their hands on the game on some level. It'll be amusing to see how the old standbys hold up in the long run, though.

 

[Steelicks]

heh, we were discussing the Sentinel and Hsien-Ko leaks on IRC earlier =)

according to "ask capcom" we will be getting the reveal trailers sometime next week. stay tuned!

I don't think this is going to be true, Magneto doesn't even look 1/4 as good as he was in MvC2, he seems to be drastically toned down. Storm can still do the same things but it looks like she's been toned down a bit - I wonder if she can do her infinite now? Probably not.

As for Sentinel, I never minded him that much apart from the insanely annoying jumping roundhouse - with the right assist you could just lock someone into the corner forever, it was terrible. Like in MvC2, I bet Sentinel's massive frame allows for some easy infinites. I seem to remember seeing a video of Ammy doing an infinite on Hulk, so it should be even easier on Sentinel.
