Only two series get me absolutely crazy for reveals. Smash and Marvel. Smash because of third party inclusions and snake coming back. Marvel vs Capcom, because capcom is my favorite company and have a lot of franchises I like. Marvel side is cool too, but it's the capcom side for me that has me staying up at night to see who get's revealed.

If MVC got confirmed tomorrow, and Smash for Switch got confirmed next month, then we are going to riding on two biggest hype train at once. SmashGAF vs. MarvalGAF. :x

There would only be one logical culmination:

Capcom announces they managed to convince Marvel to let them use the characters for another fighting game and immediatedly announces Project X Zone: Arena, featuring characters from sega, nintendo, capcom, namco and Marvel.
 
Turns out that all of these top insiders made a fundamental mistake. It's not Marvel vs. Capcom that's being unveiled tomorrow.

It's Kellogg's vs. Capcom.
 
Shit I'm having a good time now. This feels more like the hype trains of old where shit was constantly flying off the rails :)
Still laughing at the "No Megaman so it must be real" comment.
 
As badly as I want MvC4, I REALLY REALLY want MvC3 on current consoles, hopefully releasing right away.

I want it badly.

Yeah, we're bad for that.

Although, on a related note, Ono could call me personally on the phone and say Gene is in MvC4 and I'd call him a damn liar. (No matter how bad I want him, I have to see it to believe it.)
 
Bouta go to a concert tonight, getting a new good paying job... everything is going right for me for once...

I NEED the trifecta tomorrow, the stars have aligned.

TOMORROW

MAHVEL BAAAAYYYYBEEEEE!!!!!

I tried to compile all the information we have thus far because as time goes on people are just trying to spread nonsense, and the OP isn't being updated. I left out completely unreliable/unaccountable stuff (4Chan, Discord), but all of this stuff shouldn't be taken as fact and people should use their own judgment.

You the MVP.

I'm one of the biggest Marvel fans around, but I stick to the "I'll believe it when I see it" creed so I haven't been following anything.

I'll be watching, but no hypes or hopes from me.
 
Only thing I think of when I hear 'bounce' is Itagaki's old interviews (When he was a part of Team Ninja). Wasn't there a page in Next Gen magazine or something that had a picture with him and the caption of the picture was just him saying "Bounce"? lol
