The Capcom side in TvC was never that great. It has the distinction out of the modern crossover fighters of having Onimusha and Rival Schools characters, and someone super obscure like Saki, but compared to MvC3 and UMvC3, it's not great. Especially when you consider all the characters they looked at but didn't include, like Leon, Nero, Franziska von Karma, Fou-Lu, Princess Tiara, and The Smiths from Killer7.

TvC made me watch Karas and I still have no clue what the shit was going on in that film.

TvC's roster has a girl from an obscure '90s quiz game but nobody from Resident Evil or Devil May Cry. It's certainly an interesting roster, but I don't know if I would call it a good one. It's very small, the Tatsunoko half of the roster doesn't appeal to me, and the Capcom half is missing way too many key franchises.

Until I get Vanessa from PNO3 and a BoF rep, I don't care much about the Capcom side in any fighter. I'm here because of Marvel. Which is why I wish this was MSH2 and not bogged down with Capcom peeps.

I'm the opposite. There's only a couple marvel characters I really care about and they aren't in this game. Though the capcom roster is so shit this time I'm more interested in some marvel characters since they're newer.

Yeah that's sadly where I'm at. Gamora looks cooler than any newcomer shown so far

To me, at least, I think the Capcom side was fine. Could've used more, but for it to have been a glorified test bed, I think they did quite well, even if we don't include those who later "graduated" to Marvel 3 in that count.

Alex, Volnutt, Soki and Roll not joining the others was probably the saddest thing about the whole ordeal.

I still think it's really odd that Mega Man was able to have three different characters on TVC's 26 character roster, and yet got locked into only two on UMVC3's 50 man roster.

I love how Niitsuma tried to justify Mega Man's absence by explaining that he wouldn't work because he'd need a bunch of moves pulled from different games, which is exactly what they did for Zero!

That's because TvC's roster was odd in general.

If people actually cared about it before it came out, you might have seen a massive outcry about all the franchises not represented in TvC's roster. Then again, maybe it's just evidence that the Megaman community screams the loudest when not given preferential treatment.

Joe, Frank West, and PTX were dope additions, and I guess it was nice to throw Onimusha and Rival Schools a bone, too. Low key in the spirit of the VS series and making quirky picks, but there was generally overrepresentation and underrepresentation going on that would have rustled jimmies for sure if it wasn't a game squarely aimed at a Japanese audience in the first place.

Didn't Inafune hand-pick Zero & Tron Bonne?

I don't remember hearing that. This is all I know about Tron's inclusion:
Karasutani: Why was Tron chosen as a character to appear in this game?

Niitsuma: All the female character on the Marvel side were of the sexy variety, so I wanted to balance it out with a regular girl character. The first two girl characters to come to mind that are well-known in America were Roll and Tron. There are a lot of Mega Man fans overseas, after all. I also wanted to add a power character for the sake of the game's overall balance. So we ended up going with Tron, who had also appeared in MvC2.

The character roster means a lot to everyone playing the Marvel vs Capcom series, so you must get an awful lot of requests. My big question in this regard is Mega Man. You have Zero, but not the original. Where is he?

Ryota Niitsuma: I assume you're talking about the original Mega Man. There was a Mega Man slot for this game - we had room for a character from that series. But when it came to the propriety of that character being in a fighting game, Mega Man has some problems.

If we were to adapt the original Mega Man character into a fighting game he would have to have a lot more extra moves and abilities, and that would then create a different Mega Man entirely. You couldn't retain his original character as he is. So we looked into other Mega Mans, and decided that Zero had the best list of moves already in existence when it comes to fitting into a fighting game.

So nonsensical.

Capcom side definitely is wack though.

That's like not putting Mario in Smash because Ryu is in and he does like the same stuff.

According to Seth, Megaman wasn't in because Capcom JP thinks Americans don't like him.

I'd rather we get the rumored Capcom Vs. Capcom than MvCI but beggars can't be choosers. I want more obscure Capcom picks.

I'd take that if it meant more obscure Capcom picks.

Either way, is fine by me, but for MvCI, it looks like combining the games means less obscure people on both sides and that sucks.

The only real thing about the game that I am just not liking is the voice acting.

Nobody sounds hype. Dr. Strange is perhaps the biggest offender, given how awesome his MvC3 voice was.

This can't be a voice actor issue as then it'd be specific people that don't sound good, when everyone sounds bored it has to be the voice direction.

Kinda funny that Frank's zombies count as projectiles. Feels like projectile zoning in this game just might not really be a thing given the advance guard reflection mechanic.

Not sure what you mean with Strange's animations, looks pretty good.

Looks fine. Looks like his marvel 3 animations.

It looks like there are frames missing when the zombie is out. He's skipping from crouching to standing instantly. It looks...bad.

Definitely voice direction. Must be someone not familiar with video games.

I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel used the same voice director as their cartoons, who may not be familiar with video games, instead of just sending their VAs to New Generation Pictures (who usually handles Capcom fighting games' voice acting).

Could have sworn that is already happening, isn't it?
Captain Marvel, Thor, Hulk, Doctor Strange, Ultron and Thanos are reprising their roles from the animated series on Disney XD.

Mega Man X fans, sure...

It's interesting seeing Niitsuma mention Roll and Tron together, they'd both be great in this game as recognizable females and representing the other
superior
Mega Man series.

It's concerning this game doesn't seem to have an in menu button check like SFV did. Maybe they just don't have it for the demo build though...

For what its worth, when developing TVC, Niitsuma said he deliberately choose Mega Man Volnutt over Arthur.

http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/234/234680/index-2.html

I guess the idea is that they're both short jump n' shoot retro characters with a lot of projectiles. Niitsuma and his crew were always notoriously choosy over what characters got in and they made sure there was no overlap between any fighters whatsoever. For example, they rejected Marvel's request of including the Punisher because they already had Chris as their weapon expert.

To be honest, I thought Arthur was a bit fucked when X was revealed, because of the tidbit above. Didn't help that they gave X a somewhat similar armor special.

Spider-Man, Gamora, Rocket, & Groot, too. Though before, Marvel just sent their cartoon VAs to New Generation Pictures to record for (U)MvC3.

When you are actively blocking an attack you skip frames to standing or crouching immediately. It pretty much works that way in every fighter since having to wait for an animation to play before your character blocks the way you want would suck.
