The Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Topic (ITS MAHVEL 3 BAYBEE)

[KudosForce]

Niitsuma said Arthur is suppost to play as Megaman classic, so dont get your hopes up.

What.

I do hope that you have proof of what you're saying, because I don't find this amusing.

[Karasai♪]

What.

I do hope that you have proof of what you're saying, because I don't find this amusing.

Niitsuma said that during the stream/interview.

[KudosForce]

I see. Well, in this case, I do hope that we'll get Mega Man (Volnutt) Trigger. If not, then I fear that who we'll end up with is going to put the fanbase into "torches and pitchforks" mode.

To think that I was looking forward to seeing Hyper Mega Man in 3-D...but I'll stay strong.

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

ZERO MOTHER FUCKERS.

Ahem.

The following was supposedly a leak that was deleted by high ups ASAP.

"First off, Capcom is doing an INCREDIBLE job at keeping this game close to their chest. I don't know much, but what I DO know I'll be more than glad to tell you. No, I don't work for Capcom, and neither do any friends or relatives -- but there are other outlets in the industry for this sort of information.

42 is indeed the magic number for playable characters.

DLC characters won't be happening, but Capcom is being tight-lipped on this for the time being. If the game launches as successfully as planned, you can definitely expect a significant retail update within a year including a handful of new characters.

March 22 is the tentative North American release date for the time being with Europe and Japan coming soon after. This can -- and probably will -- change, but development ends in February.

Starting in November, a new character will be revealed on a weekly basis on Capcom-Unity, Marvel.com and the Japanese site all the way until early March. There will be a Holiday break in late December/early January without any updates.

I know you guys like specifics, so I'll leave you with the "good stuff."

Bison and Viper are the final Street Fighter characters.
Strider is back.
Haggar is finally a playable character.
Classic Mega Man is back.
Zero is back from TVC.
Roll is NOT a playable character.

It's not much for now, but I'll let you guys know anything new as soon as I can verify.

Take care,
- M L"

BOOB LIGHT SUPER!

And also, plays like does not mean replaces.

[Gaia]

Looks like I have a change of plans. We get the BEST outta the Mega Man franchise (Classic, X, and Legends), and I can keep my offense/defense strategy (Rock: Ranged, Zero: Melee, Tron: Special) combo. But then again, what form will Zero take this time? We had his X appearance, and his Zero apperance in Omnimusha: Blade Warriors. This should be intresting, as this is his THIRD fighting game outing.

[Mirby]

Well since he's returning from TvC, I'm guessing X.

Also, his Zero appearance was also in SVC Chaos.

[The Blind Archer]

As with every leak, I don't believe it until I see it.  Not that any of those leak characters are in any way bad.

If the game launches as successfully as planned, you can definitely expect a significant retail update within a year including a handful of new characters.

If that's true, it's good thing I'll be wasting my money on a 3DS by the time March comes around. That way I can just wait for Super Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Alpha 1 Turbo Edition EX.

[Align]

Told you it was Viper.

[KudosForce]

Classic Mega Man? Strider!? Mike fracking Haggar (how's that for Capcom's grappler du jour? óVó)!!?

That said, I'll keep myself tight-lipped on this matter. I can say with all certainty that in the past few years, character leaks for fighting games have turned out to be true, so there's no doubt in my mind that these chars will make it in.

I do hope that everyone else will not let that info leave this site (though, considering the nature of the Internet, it may be too late for that).

Strider is fighting a new enemy. COPYRIGHT ISSUES
He'll be [tornado fang]ing sweet if he makes it.

Possible Zero buffs:

Rekkohoa comes out AS SOON as Zero's fist hits the ground.

Sogenmu is longer and more effective

Zero charge combos are easier to do

Possible new Level 3

[Solar]

Won't believe it till I see it, but honestly, those are pretty safe guesses.

Zero buffs...

NO

[Satoryu]

Niitsuma said Arthur is suppost to play as Megaman classic, so dont get your hopes up.

I don't remember hearing anything like that.

[KudosForce]

Strider is fighting a new enemy. COPYRIGHT ISSUES

He's jointly owned by Moto Kikaku and Capcom. Get your facts straight, please.

So was a good most of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, but it still made it over here. :/

[AquaTeamV3]

Possible Zero buffs:

You're kidding, right?  Zero was friggin' top-tier in TvC, and you want him to get buffed?!  If anything else they need to tone him down a bit. 

[Solar]

Yeah, if there was anyone that unarguably deserved to be beaten to a pulp with the nerf bat it was Mr "everything I do is safe AND I can actually mix you up good, also, HADANGEKIHADANGEKIHADANGEKIHADANGEKIHADANGEKIHADANGEKIHADANGEKI" AKA Zero.

[Satoryu]

Well here's hoping that move won't be available in Simple Mode. It's really stupid when you assign a charge move to a single button. At least BlazBlue's shortcuts weren't that bad. I think Tao was the only character that had a non-Astral charge move on shortcut, and it's not a game breaking move at all. Tager's 360A is probably as cheap as BBCT got. Then again, barely anyone has charge moves at all.

If it was Guile and Sonic Boom was on shortcut, that wouldn't be as bad cause the charge time is short. It's been a while, but I don't remember Hadangeki having a short charge time.

MvC3 Simple has supers on one button. I forget, does that mean one button press, cause that would be kinda cheap. To use BlazBlue again, CS this time though, Beginner Mode forces you to charge a button to use a super. MvC3 could definitely take a note from that.

[Solar]

Yeah, I think it's one button but you're limited to only one super. Honestly, that's not much of a problem to me, it's not as if super motions for Marvel weren't simple already for the most part and that could be done almost as fast.

[Satoryu]

Yeah, for quarter circles and dragon punches it's no big deal. But if there's charge or 360s, I could see some people complaining.

[Solar]

They're complaining either way (and chances are they will put at least 360s if a character uses it).

[Henger83]

Yeah, for quarter circles and dragon punches it's no big deal. But if there's charge or 360s, I could see some people complaining.

They should make a simpler motion for the rookies, not a one button press for a freakin super, that's a bit much if a noob where to do supers on a vet's ass and then think he is badass at the game. 

[Karasai♪]

Simple controls are back.

Expect this:
Sogenmu!

[Strider Xhaiden]

Bison, I like. Viper? Eh....don't really care to be honest. Not gonna complain about it being a wasted character slot, but.....I just don't find Viper all that interesting.

[Align]

Everybody's gonna hate me for this but I would actually have loved to see Seth instead.
