Well, she may be undergoing a revival again here soon with Second Coming. I hope not(pun intended). I've come to like Emma Frost over Jean.

They owe Jean Grey for fucking with her character so much with retcons and the whole Emma/Cyclops thing. I dont even read X Men, and I feel bad for that character.

There is really no need to feel bad for Jean, she had fallen in love with Wolvie several times over they years through various versions of X-Men, calling only Cyclops has become almost laughable.

All I know is that I liked Dark Phoenix Saga and apparently they have been fucking shit up with that little group of characters ever since.

I can understand that, but all I am saying is each time there is a new universe is pretty much a given that at one point during it Jean will fall for Wolvie, now she may not do anything with him and or go back to Cyc, but she ain't no angel and she certainly isn't the innocent one fo the group.

Weirdly enough I say all this as some one who hates Cyclops.

I don't think what's happening right now matters, though. People are saying stuff like "such and such can't do this anymore, such and such blah blah", but the fact is, DMC3 Dante is in and Wolvie uses the old school costume, so continuity isn't an issue. Pun intended.

Well, it might matter in some ways. The fact that some characters like Jean,
Carnage and Nightcrawler
are dead at the moment might affect who Marvel may put up for their side of the roster. Not to mention things like Eddie Brock now being "ANTI-VENOM", while Scorpion is now donning the Venom symbiote changes things a bit as well.

As for Capcom? Well, I believe Niitsuma already was cited on saying that Capcom side of the roster would likely do more with "newer characters", rather than old school picks from the 8/16 bit era getting in.

That said, I'm still going to dare to hope for Breath of Fire love in some way...ideally, through some one like Rei or Fou-lu.
 
Wu-Gambino said:
didnt they say we'd be blown away by the amount of characters?

and theirs only gonna be around 30?

am disappoint.

30 is what they have "at this time". They're supposedly going to focus on adding as many as they can before release next year.

36 would be fine by me. They're going to likely have enough problems balancing all that out as it is. :lol

Could the figure people thought was Trish be a redesigned Cammy with her hair down?

hell no. they'd never fuck with cammy's hair.

she is pretty popular though so she could be in it by the end. they even put her in Cannon Spike. :lol
 
Just browsed the article in Game Informer. I love that it mentions how Deadpool's Super is that he beats his opponent with his own lifebar. Can't wait to see the game in motion.
 
Dali said:
How can you tell the difference? What fo you mean by characters from the 90's? Deadpool? Carnage? Who is a character from this decade people should ask for? Following Spike's threads it seems like the only new characters Marvel's created in the last ten years are Wolverine clones. If this were sprite-based I wouldn't put it past Capcom to re-draw a claw in every frame of Wolverine and call him Daken.
It's mostly the people asking for characters like Jean and Jubilee who have no relevance anymore, but did in the 90s. I'd want Moon Knight even though he was created back in the '70s.

As far as Capcom voices though, Morrigan and Felicia in English video games aren't new. They were given English voices for Cross Edge (Erin Fitzgerald and Melissa Fahn respectively), and they used the same pool of VAs that Capcom used for SFIV so I find it very possible and likely for them to use the same VAs. But then we're talking about a JRPG compared to an "Americanized" Comic Book crossover.

For those curious, here's a clip from Cross Edge in English with Morrigan and Felicia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP7-TAcImZw

Erin Fitzgerald and Melissa Fahn did a great job but they just didn't sound right. Morrigan was a little too sultry for me and Felicia sounded a little too cute. A post I made earlier suggested Megan Hollingshead and Stephanie Sheh as alternatives. Megan Hollingshead can do sexy but deadly and Stephanie Sheh does innocent and cute like no one else. And on the subject of X Edge, I wonder if they'll ever release Dash over here? I highly doubt that.
 
I'll say this again, I would love to see Linn Kurosawa from the Alien vs Predator arcade game.

There are a ton of characters from the old Capcom beat em ups that would b a perfect fit for a versus game.

Only problem is that it's the legal situation governing those games would likely be a problem to some degree. D&D, AvP, and even the likes of Cadillacs & Dinosaurs would fall under this.

And on the other hand, Nitsuma went on to say that we probably can't expect many, if any, 8/16-bit throw-backs any way. If they likely didn't appear throughout the latter PSX/PS2 era, or made a resurgence in the last few years otherwise, we likely won't see 'em this time around...
 
Somebody from Battle Circuit then? :lol

That's pretty sad to hear that there won't be any throback characters; I'll honestly say that I had no idea who Sonson was until MvC2, and that led me into finding out about past Capcom games. Something like that might even renew interest in past games, so they may get remakes/sequels. Remember what happened with Strider after MvC1?

Simone from Cannon Spike. Same thing. Arthur and Shiba from that game would be beastly as well.

Cyber Blue all day. I rather see him in TvC though.

I even concocted a move set for him. You can see it at the link below.

Eh, I chalk that up to another thing to blame Nitsuma for. :lol

Capcom never should have allowed Noritaka Funamizu to leave them. Chances are, if you played a Capcom fighting game in the 90s (this includes the likes of Jojo too, God's Beard!), Funamizu was likely either the planner or producer for that game. Pretty much the only Marvel vs. game he didn't touch was MvC2. He did produce Strider 2, though. :lol

Now, he's gone from the company, and he was actually responsible for the very nicely done Super DBZ with Crafts & Meister, but has not been of heard since.

As a guy who was responsible for so many fighting games I love dearly, I hope he comes back soon. If he gets hooked up with the right people (like say, Arika?), maybe he could end up being a better source for the "Capcom style" Fighting games we miss so much.
 
Just give me one Spider-Man villain other than Venom or Carnage and I'll be happy.

Any of the below will do:
Doc Ock
Scorpion
Sandman
Electro
Mysterio
Green Goblin
Lizard
Shocker

It'll probably be Venom again.

Doc Ock would be sweet though.
 
I wonder if any of the god 4(Storm, Magneto, Cable, Sentinel) will make it in? They've been the foundation of MVC2 for over a decade. It would feel so weird without them.

Storm and Mags have the best shots, being such popular X Men characters.

Well I think Mags is pretty damn likey, he is the X-Mens number one villian after all.

But as for the rest I am guessing no, simply because they are all X-Men characters and with the game being a basic reboot I think there will be a more balanced cast list.

That and would it be so werid with them gone? I think it would be more weird if they where there and no one picked them because they where no longer at the top of the list.

Storm is on the same tier as people like Cyclops, Iceman and Mags in terms of mind share. Plus she brings gender and race diversity. She was also one of the X Men reps in the UA games, for another example of her popularity. I think she has a pretty good chance.
 
TreIII said:
I'd definitely prefer Lizard over some of the others. I mean, how would you translate the likes of Vulture or Green Goblin to a fighting game of this sort...?

I think Green Goblin would be perfect for this game. Throwing pumpkin bombs around, his little hover thingy shooting missiles, him dashing around on it. He could have a move where the hover board just attacks you and he is on the ground. He could do alot.

I don't know about Vulture though.

I still want my Spider-man universe only fighting game though :)
 
Good news for those worried about the controls! This was recently posted from Seth

Hi guys,

Sorry I've been slow on this--being on the road all the time slows this kind of stuff down more than I wish it did, and I really wanted to nip this in the bud before it got blown all out of proportion. Darn you internets! Smile

Here is the bottom line: MVC3's controls are still in development, but it currently has 4 attack buttons, and two assist buttons. If you want the take-away, you can stop reading now because that's the bottom line.

The excitement has all come from the way those buttons are labeled--specifically because one of the attack buttons has a new name. Why does it get its own name? Because:

a) coming up with exciting new names for stuff is what marketing departments do (was "Aerial Rave" a reason to worry about what we used to just call "air combos"?).

b) it does some fun new stuff in some circumstances, but in many ways that stuff is not different than command normals in MVC2. It does stuff like launching (also a normal move in MVC2), causing OTG-able flying screen (normal in MVC2), and some other interesting effects (not as much like MVC2, but a pretty natural evolution).

I understand people's concerns and that even the hint of a change can cause people to go to red alert and divert all power to forward deflector shields. We know MVC2 is serious business, and a very special game. Part of the reason we know that is because we made it, and there are key people from MVC2 on MVC3. We've worked for years to make this game a reality, and so we take it very seriously. The objective is not to "dumb down" a thing, but there are ways to go new places without also giving new players the finger. We have high hopes--you should too. It's easy to get worked up and complain in the absence of a lot of hard info, and there will be plenty of time for that, but I hope we can agree that stuff should come after people have actually played the game and seen it in action.

The good news on that front is that--just like SFIV--we're not hiding this away, and want to get it out and into your hands as early and as often as we can.

best,

Seth

Breathe a sigh of relief MvC2 fans.

Because it would be like a SF game with no Ryu or Ken. They've become the bread and butter of Marvel.

Source please? I haven't heard that yet. If they meant that then we wouldn't see commendo captain, strider, jin, hayate and arthur?

You're the second guy that spelled Hayato as Hayate. Or was it you both times?

that might be me both time. I apologized since I don't really play as him that much. However, I would love to know what is the source of that comment.
