Where Ya Curly Mustaches At?! Marvel vs Capcom 3 Hype Thread of Scoops!

If it's THE Super Skrull, he's not so much of a villain anymore -- he and Nova have fought together on several occasion's - including Kl'rt helping Nova get to Earth during the Skrull invasion. So, we still need more villain's in my opinion :P

Well, Magneto was actually the leader of the Xmen for a while (canon too, not just that AoA reality!). Doesn't stop HIM from being largely recognized as a bad boy, now does it? :lol

I'm going to assume that list is a fake because I can't believe Shuma-Gorath made it in again. He's barely in 616 Marvel Universe and, despite his shape, wasn't all that interesting gameplay-wise in MvC2. However, I could see Tron Bonne and Taskmaster in the final product. Tron Bonne had a unique fighting style. By breaking canon a bit, Taskmaster could be a Mokujin-style character that seems to be common in 3d fighters.

I dont get how nobody missed a random post with a "leak" and then everybody misses all the following posts that confirm its fake. Its like some weird forum magic.

List is fake. No, really, its is. Lets keep going.

Also, Super Skrull is a total villain, just because he dabbles in anti-hero lands everynow and then doesnt discount him (because really, most Marvel villains have blurred the line at some point, even Thanos!)

You're reminding me that an Age of Apocalypse game would be badass.

I'm hyped enough for this that I just bought MvC2 XBLA and the SF4 fight pad. But I'm having a hell of a time figuring out how to do Storm's Lightning Attack on this thing. =(

Everyone? I don't remember Dr Doom blurring the lines, the times he aligned with heroes was always for his self interest (Correct me if wrong, long time disconnected from Marvel universe).

You might as well say everyone.

Regardless of whether it is for a truly "greater good", "self interest", or something that will just get retconned away later, almost every Marvel villain has had a day or two where they weren't but so bad.

If it counts, I remember Doom's moment in that one issue towards the end of Spidey 2099's run. THAT was awesome. :lol

You're reminding me that an Age of Apocalypse game would be badass.

Sure would.

For now though, I'd be happy with AoA DLC skins for those characters that could apply. Obviously, Wolverine's would have to be modified. :lol

Speaking of which...X-man. I know he's been mentioned once or twice already, but that guy should be here, in my opinion.

This sentence is what I imagine I sound like when people overhear me talking about videogames. Frightening.

he would be good in a modern game with all the flashy effects. he was in x-men legends 2 for the psp. the character came back in some form recently didn't he?
 
Chairhome posted this earlier, but I'll bring it up again. The MarvelvsCapcom twitter account has stated that no one has guessed all the silhouette characters correctly. This was reiterated on Capcom-Unity also.

So the common consensus for the silhouettes are:

Capcom
Felicia
Frank West
Trish
Chun-Li
Dante or Nero

Marvel
Captain America
Dr. Doom
Deadpool
Super Skrull
Dormammu

So who's incorrect? Dr. Doom is a bit of a tossup because many characters wear cloaks, Frank West could conceivably be Nathan Spencer, and I know there is some debate on Trish because the armlet is on the wrong arm. (The shadow still looks quite like her though.)

The rest seem pretty apparent though. (Unless Capcom decided to put Shadow Lady in instead of Chun-Li. XD )

Thoughts?

So, does Gametrailers visit this thread, because
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gt-pop-block-marvel-vs/64778

That Capcom twitter about no website correctly guessing all the shadows was posted before this video, right?
Capcom posted the video on their site along with the statement that no one has guess 100%.

Oh.

Intriguing.

I'd say that Dante is an absolute given with the silhouette on the Shinkiro piece. And not Nero, when doing the sword comparison.

Captain America and Felicia are obvious... unless they pull something stupid like replacing Captain America with U.S. Agent... in any case, it's pretty much going to be Captain America.

Deadpool looks like a given. Is there anyone else that could fit that sword? Blade maybe? I'm just trying to find any doubt possible.

The most ambiguous ones are the Capcom female, the Marvel fire head dude, and Marvel cloaked dude.

It has to be Deadpool. If you look at the pic with just the Marvel characters, you can clearly see 2 swords.

I don't think Trish is in the game also.

How many characters do you think they'll reveal at E3 ? another 6 ?

i wouldn't be surprised. they'll keep milking the hype by not revealing everyone at once

the Marvel fire head dude...
If you look at the Shinkiro silhouette, I don't see how it can be anyone but Dormammu. It's like an exact match.

The flame, arched collar, points on the gloves and boots. It's all there.

pretty spot on. kinda random.
 
I just found this interview.

http://www.ausgamers.com/features/read/2889094

It confirms that the reason the Tyrant wasn't in the game was the same reason it wasn't in TvC. But more importantly, it confirms that the Fantastic Four won't be in the game (which ends that fake roster, I believe) and Niitsuma's response to that seems to suggest that Super Skrull made it into the game as a replacement.

AusGamers: So we can't talk about any characters that are in the game (beyond those already revealed), but can I ask what characters didn't make the cut from either the Capcom or Marvel side you really wanted in there?

Niitsuma: Oh, that's a really nice question. There's actually quite a list of characters who were on the table until mid-development who just couldn't make it into the game for various reasons, but I wanted to include a couple of the monster-type characters, you know, from Resident Evil such as Nemesis or Tyrant, but they were considered a little to grotesque and disgusting and for ratings reasons they just didn't make it. From the Marvel side there were a couple we were considering using, such as some of the Fantastic Four characters, but for various reasons we just couldn't implement them, or they weren't on the right table but Marvel came back and said "why not use this character instead", and we responded "oh, okay that's fine", but unfortunately we couldn't get any of the Fantastic Four into the game.
 
Mr. Fantastic is the only one of the Fantastic 4 that I could see really being interesting from a gameplay perspective anyway.

Kind of a bummer, but not a huge bummer.

Tyrant/Nemesis would have boring regardless.

Thanks for the link. That's a pretty good interview. Good questions asked.

AusGamers: Okay, one of my first questions is something we touched on during the presentation's Q&A, but choosing the characters - both from Marvel and Capcom's side - and adhering to both the new fans of Capcom and new fans of Marvel, while keeping the fan-service as was promised in the presentation - how do you balance that? How long has it taken to trim down the list of characters or potential characters?

Ryouta Niitsuma: Well the easiest way was we just asked Marvel "what characters do you want us to use?" and they give us a list of characters they think would be good for the game and we look at that list and come back and say "well what about this guy? Can we use this one too?" and they give us the yes or no depending on their current situation. But that was actually pretty easy, the hard part was needing to match those characters to the Capcom side and internally, the decision was to go with more recent characters; some of the more popular characters that people now know, as opposed to older ones. And so I took it upon myself to get everyone inside Capcom in agreement of which characters would be best to use in this game.

So Marvel will likely use this as a platform to promote certain characters. This was expected, but hopefully this still leaves a lot of room for the ones that don't have multi-million dollar budget movies on the horizon.

AusGamers: Although there's no precedent in terms of adding to fighting games in terms of DLC, is there a possibility down the track to utilise the DLC platform to deliver more characters for the game?

Niitsuma: As far as downloadable content goes, nothing at this stage of the game has been decided yet, but of course there's all types of things you can do with downloadable content, as I'm sure you're familiar with, and we're taking everything under consideration as far as what we can do and can't do - downloadable characters is just one of those options on the plate and in the end we'll see what we'll actually be able to deliver, but we're in talks amongst ourselves and Marvel about what we can actually do.
No precedent? I hear Australia gets games late. Has SCIV not hit yet?


AusGamers: So why go with MT Framework as the core engine for Marvel Vs Capcom when you have a perfectly good fighting game engine with Street Fighter IV?

Niitsuma: Well we basically wanted to move away from using that engine, basically because MT Framework is our proprietary engine and it's really evolving every day and it's just getting easier and easier to use. And so taking that into consideration, making a really visually stylistic game is easy to do with MT Framework, and I mean the Street Fighter IV engine is a good engine, but the fact is these games are coming out close to each other and to make another fighting game using that engine; the games would look alike and that's kind of boring for them to look the same, so we wanted to distinguish between the two rather easily, and so using MT Framework was the best solution and idea.

Uhhh... ok. It's a good question, but that answer seems suspect.

You never know. They put friggin sonson in mvc2!
 
A shame that Niitsuma's quote seems to do a lot to dispel the notion that we can expect some more "blasts from the past". Going with merely the PSX-PS2 era could stand to make this a bit boring on some levels... T_T

Well not sure if this was posted but its from the MvC3 facebook page.

"Fate Of Two Worlds"; a clue to the story combining these two universes. Perhaps something involving Dormammu, who can bridge dimensions?"
 
The more I see the trailer the more I am impressed with Chris's model. I just love the detail and animation even if it's just a cut scene and not in game.


Anyone else thinks that this game could eclipse SF4 and become the best selling arcade fighter this gen ?

Like Dormammu for example, who I'm not really sure is a very popular or used character nowadays. The last time I remember seeing him was in the 90's Spiderman cartoon where he was ordering Venom and Carnage around. I hope there are more like him, Namor for example.

i remember that terrible version of Venom and Carnage's storyline in the toon. they got their powers from him or some shit.
 
"It'll be definitely be faster than what you saw in TvC, and for the mechanics, we wanted to make it easier for people to get off moves easier than, say, Marvel vs. Capcom 2... We're also looking at the possibility for some moves to be one button." - Ryota Niitsuma, MvC3 Director to 1up.com

This worries the shit outta me. I wasn't a big fan of TvC's lame ass controls, and both the Ps3 and 360's pads have more than enough buttons, so either stay with MvsC2's control or go back to the classic 3 punches/3 kicks set up.
 
Not sure if this was posted yet. MvC3 producer blog

Basically he started a blog in Japanese about the development of MvC3 and Capcom US translated it.


BTW I think that Facebook page is fan made not an official one because it links to the fan made website.
 
If it is Trish, I'm going be disappointed. I love DMC, but all they need is Dante really. I much rather have the spot go to another series which would be excluded otherwise.

He played a pretty important role recently in The New Avengers, where his possession gave pretty remarkable powers to Parker Robbins, AKA The Hood. Dr. Strange eventually exorcised him, though.
