That Joystiq review actually has me excited. Finally, we're back to a Capcom fighting game that will take months to break down and get good at. No more of this low-barrier-entry SF4 bullshit.
I played MVC3 at E3 for about 8 hours, and at Evo for around 3.
My first experience with the game was brutally frustrating. "Why isn't this like Marvel 2, it's so slow, it always times out, it's TVC2" etc etc. After playing for about an hour, it started to click. This isn't MVC2, deal with it.
I then ran into a guy who was having the same problems as me. He loved the Vs series and was so upset with MVC3 because it wasn't Marvel 2. After we beat eachother up for another 30 mins, it clicked for him too...and we had a blast playing for the rest of day, teaching all the others wtf was up with MVC3.
I can't wait.

Please go and read some older Moon Knight and Deadpool comics. You will change your mind. Capcom only has one official villain... ugh! Not even Morrigana is consider a villain, nor is Tron Bonne pirate tail is.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
Loving these 2 characters, great choices.
Also, saying that grapplers are "against" the Marvel vs. Capcom idea is stupid since Zangief was on the first game. Having Haggar gives you a different look and playstyle than having someone like Vergil who looks a lot like a few characters that are already in the game.

Hagger seems cool I don't get the hate, though I wish he had more Final Fight moves similar to swinging the Pipe. They could have given him the knife toss (codys move), tossing a mad gear henchmen (as a projectile), picking up a turkey (health boost) and etc, basically making him more crazy and similar to the Final Fight game.

The hate is that everybody thinks he is a clone of Gief. That is not true. Final Fight was made before Street Fighter II and he was just put on the back burner.
I always find the "Seth sucks because he uses other characters moves!" complain to be pretty silly. It's like "DeeJay sucks because he has moves that look like a sonic boom and flash kick!"
Personally, I like the idea of a character who blends an unusual mix of moves (A Dragon Punch, and SPD? An Attack-throw Lightning leg-alike + Air Stomps? Teleports (run away)+ A vortex that pulls in?) together. It presents something that is unique unto itself; greater than the sum of it's parts.
When it comes to games with HUGE rosters, every character is pretty much a remix of the basic archetypes of fighters, anywho, so a character who directly remixes those in itself, is a nice concept. Not just a grappler, not just a rushdown, but something beyond.
I can genuinely see Taskmaster being a fun, unique character. Akuma... yeah, definitely a "wait and see". Would love to be suprised by something FRESH from an old capcom character.

Kind of sucks that we don't have anything to look forward to as far as reveals. Haggar looked surprisingly interesting and Phoenix was pretty awesome as expected. Of course this wouldn't be an MvC3 thread without me lamenting how many slots they wasted. I think the Marvel side is passable, if not a little sausage heavy, but the Capcom side is just so full of fail it's not even funny.

Sorry posted this in the other thread when it was meant for this thread.
Here's a site that has a lot of screens showing off the alternate costumes
http://www.msxbox-world.com/xbox360...20/marvel-vs-capcom-3-fate-of-two-worlds.html
Also Gamespot has a few new videos
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/marvelvscapcom3/videos.html?filter=most_recent&mode=all
When Cap beats Iron Man he says: "And THAT was for Civil War" :lol
Also Phoenix sounds like Jennifer Hale, who did voice Jean in WatX. Props to Marvel for keeping that Animated continuity going.

I was talking with a friend about some of the head scratching omissions on both sides and this could only be for DLC/sequel sales. Right?!LiK said:

Don't forget:LiK said:
Morrigan and Felicia picked over cooler or never before used Darkstalker characters? yep
New Rad Spencer fail design (probably going to charge for old version)? yep
TVC rehash Viewtiful Joe? yep
SFIV character as though that game isn't a megahit and needs anymore representation right now? yep

They're using voices from other shows too. Doom sounds like Paul Dobson from the recent F4 series. Iron Man, Cap, and Modok are their Avengers EMH voices (I would say Thor too, but I can't quite peg his voice being Rick Wasserman) And of course the awesome Josh Keaton being Spider-man's voice!
It's pretty awesome.

I think the Capcom side is amazing. Dante, Trish, Joe, Amaterasu, Arthur, Haggar, Zero, Tron - what else do you need? The only disappointment is that they used the new Spencer and that Mega Man isn't in.
It makes sense for Capcom to hold out on popular characters like Megaman, Vergil, Frank West, Green Goblin, Gambit, Strider, Venom, Phoenix Wright, X, Ms Marvel, Cyclops, Psylocke, Dr Strange, Gene, Bison and Venom. After all they need a good excuse for DLC and/or a sequel/update

Great additions. I have a feeling Phoenix will be one of my mains.

So all we're getting is either palette swaps or retextured models for the most part.

Back when Steve was dead, Punisher was dressed up as Captain America...well a version of him for a little while. That's what the alternate is in reference to.Dali said:

That Captain America alternate costume looks a little off compared to the source material.
