AMMY! 
Thor's cool too, though that was bound to happen given the movie coming out not long after and all.

I really hope Ammy has the Golden Fury and Brown Rage moves.

Great, I've always wanted to punch a dog.

Yeah, there's a lot of characters that I can't really understand the "no moveset" excuse, but Phoenix is one where I can't really even imagine what they'd do. Even on a basic level, Phoenix Wright throwing punches and kicks would simply look weird.Sad_Panda said:

usually Capcom rectifies this by giving small characters less HP so they go down in fewer hitsHunahan said:

Capcom owns all the rights, but they'll never use them again. The IGN score for God Hand was a huge embarrassment for the company, and one of the reasons they disbanded Clover.OMG Aero said:

Okami did well enough to get ported to a different system, has a sequel coming out in the near future, and has pretty good name recognition in the current gen. Gene is from a game that reviewed pretty badly, sold even worse, the series is dead in the water, and when the game was brand new practically nobody knew about it.

That much is obvious. Popularity doesn't make Ameratsu a more compelling fighting game character than Gene however, which is what we were discussing.Monroeski said:

I agree with you on the BoF rep. On the Wright front: I always thought if an AA/GS character were to make it into a fighter Phoenix and Edgeworth never made much sense as a fighting game character. It would make more sense to have Franziska von Karma, Godot (w/ Samurai Sword), or the Steel Samurai since they actually have weapons they could use (Godot could also do Coffee projectiles and Cyclops beam attacks for lulz if they wanted). Manfred von Karma and Damon Gant are two more I could see that I would believe could go out there and just beat people up with their fists (Manfred could even have a taser special, lol).

I guess you'd have to ask Mikami. He seems to think it was a pretty big deal.LiK said:
Well that's odd.
But I'm glad that Thor isn't based on the movie costume, thank goodness - Iron Man's movie design is the best he's ever looked, and it would have been horrible if Thor had went the same route...
That's one hell of a goof-up by Marvel though to leak the art AND gameplay pics though, imagine if Capcom wasn't smart enough to have structured the release of characters and had other unconfirmed characters in the shots as partners...

As awesome as this is, am I the only one who feels like Ammy's design looks a bit off?
I mean I guess it's supposed to be sort of a marvel style but for some reason it is really bugging me.

Are we sure it's even a leak and not just another Comic Con timed reveal they put up on their site?
Captain Falcon was a superhero bounty hunter, though. That wasn't much of a stretch.USD said:
I'm not saying it's unprecedented, but I dunno, with Phoenix there's just something that seems weird abut the whole concept. It's not that I can't think of things for a moveset, it's more that I can't think of things that wouldn't seem way too over-the-top for him. Stuff like a super where a giant pointing finger/gavel smashes the opponent seems obvious, sure, but in practice I think it'd come off a bit too silly.
I could see Trucy working well, fwiw. With a magician you can have all sorts of cheats where they don't really have to be fighting directly; hitting with scarves, stuff from their hat, playing cards, etc.
Franziska could probably work well also, yeah. Steel Samurai I think is getting a bit too deep into the cast, I know it's a recurring character but in general I think they'd like to stick to someone who at least appeared on a cover.

Thor is a fantastic addition, but the addition of Amateratsu is just absolutely mindblowing. I can't wait to break the news to my friends later on.
She has a spot on my team.

What YOU were discussing, maybe, since most others that mention Gene in these threads don't really mention it that I've noticed.
Also, it's not necessarily just popularity, as I'm sure more popular characters than Amaterasu will be getting in; it's more about relevance. This game has a strong marketing component tied to it, and outside of the givens (Wolverine, Ryu, etc.), returning characters (Doom) and general legends (Dante, Chris Redfield), just look at the new characters getting in - Frank (new Dead Rising game coming), Amaterasu (new Okami game), Thor (new movie), Deadpool (massive push in comics + was in recent movie with possibility of his own coming up), etc. Super Skrull is kind of an odd one since I wouldn't go as far as to call him one of the most well known characters outside of comic enthusiasts, though he'd get a boost from Secret Invasion not being too long ago, he adds the Fantastic Four (legends) element, and if the rumors last year of a new Fantastic Four movie are true it's possible he'll make an appearance there. Trish is the only odd one IMO that doesn't really have either "given" status or any kind of marketing push around her.
I don't think we'll be seeing a return to MVC2 style character selection where they just throw a billion characters in there with a good chunk being ones that practically no one has heard of (Shuma Gorath, Jin, SonSon, etc.). There's going to be a good reason why anybody gets in to MVC3 IMO, and a failed character from a failed series from a failed developer half a decade ago just isn't going to cut it no matter how well he'd "fit."
Not that I wouldn't love to be wrong.

I think super scrull is supposed to make the fantastic four obseleteKevinCow said:

Which is impossible. Mr. Fantastic wouldnt play the same or likely even have many of the same moves as Skrull. Hell, I havent even seen any IW force fields, energy constructs, or TK yet.
He's just a decent stand in, since the FF are a package deal, but not big enough to warrant 4 spots.
I wouldnt mind them in a sequel or as a DLC package.

I really like 23XX Zero, but TvC Zero (based on MMX series) was really good tier-wiseSutanreyu said:

Seriously. Why the fuck aren't Gene or Azel in any of these games?_dementia said:
"God's Beard!"

obvious reasons
Why would Capcom use some character from an unpopular game (Godhand) or Phornix Wright (no fighting moves), when Capcom can use a Breath of Fire character, Arthur from GnG, Haggar from Final Fight, and Onimusha character, Rad Spencer from Bionic Commando, Frank West from Dead Rising and etc.
Basically Capcom have much better options so why are people arguing over Phoenix Wright and God Hand character to be in the game.

Frank West is confirmed via obvious silhouette. And honestly, if Rad and Arthur aren't in I'll be surprised. Haggar deserves some love though, the recent Final Fight stuff on XBLA/PSN maybe means that could happen, but we'll see.

Frank West is in MvC3. Just let you know that.
I would love to see Mike Haggar, Arthur and BoF characters, but I think only one of them would make in.
