Yay. Cap's puke-y aqua and red colors are gone. Those were awful.

I'm actually sad about the red one being gone since it was a reference to another Marvel character, the Red Guardian, essentially a Russian version of Cap.

... Which means no more fellow Russians playable in Ultimate. D:
 
As someone who mains Chris I dig his alts. Would've loved a red one, and yellow doesn't match anyone else I play him with but it stands out. LOVE the new grey Cap and solid black Chris.
 
Why they couldn't put that much effort into all the new Alts is more aggravating than having no good alts at all to be honest.

Its such a "favorites get the best" situation. Especially when some of them are so lazy looking and just "Hey here's a redo of an alt from the old MvC2 alt."
 
The Marvel side ones have generally been pretty solid but most of the Capcom ones have been pretty damn meh and lazy. Even NeoG himself couldn't influence the art team to make some decent ones for Dante/Trish (Vergil got some pretty awesome alts I am not gonna complain there). The DS characters got the worst ones by a mile.

Is there really going to be a reveal this week?

Which alts were dissapointing? Most of them were pretty good.
 
So where are sitting on alt costumes? I know shoryuken showed some but I can't seem to them. I know they had the one dlc pack Chris, Captain, Ryu and some others and the female pack coming with the UMVC3 launch. Did we ever get Scarlet Spider or 90's X-men cartoon Storm?

Storm only gets her punker alt, not the cartoon one (you could always play the white color :P).

We do have the vanilla pack and the 3 pre-buy packs, and Chris Baker told us that Phoenix is gonna have a Jim Lee Jean Grey alt costume. Otherwise, nothing new.

We don't know. It's end of October, though, and probably the last bigger event that Capcom attends. So might be. Might not be, either. It's still 3 weeks until release.

Maybe Cosmo will be one of Rockets assists/ or hypers :D

I can dream

Not Alt Costumes for DLC, but the alt colors? I would hardly say they were really good.

Why can't we get actual references or maybe even new ideas or designs for ALL the characters, not just the popular fan favorites.

I mean a really awesome recolor like Ghost Trick Phoenix Wright with Ammy-Missle is amazing, while looking at the Darkstalkers and some of the other characters, it's just plain boring. Deadpool gets an X-men outfit with redrawn details while most characters get a new pallet thrown on their existing clothes?

It's just lazy

I hope for much Hawkeye. Tons of Hawkeye. All the Hawkeye.

He might not make it into the first, but I got some good footage of the guy. Also really like him too, but have yet to figure out how to play good keepaway. That slide is too good not to use...

UMVC3 gameplay videos coming later today.

:>

Argh. I'm so tired and now I can't sleep.

Whilst I'm waiting, let's see some more teams, people (and another excuse to post more of these awesome banners).

Day one (and probably all of UMvC3 for me):

Team A Ninja and his Pets:

Secondary team:

Team My Leftovers from MvC3, and Vergil who I really want to play but don't really want to main because of how overused he'll be (catchy name, huh?)

I ran Team Aqua with Cap, Hulk and Yipes Maggy. :/

I think it suited Magneto, but on Cap it felt pretty out of place.
 
Chris' alts are ass and Caps alts are awesome aside from the Avengers Cartoon Space Suit or whatever.

Saying the Capcom alts are lazy is one way to put it. I said it before, they should focus on palette options instead of references for some characters because some of those references are just mundane or do not translate well to the character models. Darkstalkers being the worst offenders.

This is probably a given, but I hope the Nova rundown has a meaty segment clarifying the red health mechanics. That's the one thing from the trailers and footage so far that hasn't been clarified a lot. Seth said 2/3 hypers burn red bar, but it seems only the beam does and then there's the matter of how much his Gravimetric moves get buffed. I'm assuming there's 3 levels of damage/hitbox/property adjustments there as well depending on the amount of health burned along with how X-Factor further boosts stuff like the beam.

Also something I've been wondering about is that if Nova gets tagged as an assist, loses 90% of his health upon which you DHC into him, is all that red health burned or is it then just the amount of red health required to get the full damage boost. Say the damage boost cap maxes out at 400.000 red life is anything more than that not deducted?

They couldn't even be bothered to put the Zebra print on the Chris alt, but did put leopard on Haggar and Spencer

That bugged me as well.
 
I like how varied and cool Cappy's costumes are yet Chris' are awful.
But yeah the red one should've stayed.

I assure you a lot of these references are an after thought.

"So I need a character in white tee and blue pants, do we have such one?".

Yeah it was based on a very questionable color choice carried on from the old CPS2 games. At least these seem to have some inspiration. Glad to see it go, though I feel for fans of color-coordinated teams. I love doing that.
