Ben: Don't start with that pessimistic bs. Just because Mega Man hasn't been officially announced yet doesn't mean he's going to be DLC. There's still plenty of time for them to announce and deconfirm characters.

All I know is that I'm going with the leaked list from a GAFfer associate, which has been right on the money thus far, right down to confirming Jill and Shuma being DLC. And this was weeks before the "Gamestop leak", no less.

His list is as follows:

[spoiler]Eh, I'll just post it again for fun, but it's for the last time.

Marvel
Galactus (Boss)
Taskmaster (unlock)
Shuma-Gorath (DLC)
She-Hulk
Deadpool
Captain America
X-23
Magneto
Modok
Hulk
Spider-Man
Dr. Doom
Sentinel
Storm
Phoenix/Dark Phoenix (HnB's note: if we go by how Jean Grey and Emma Frost were de-confirmed a while ago as well, that might point to either Rachel or maybe even a tie-in relating to Hope in the comics)
Super Skrull
Dormammu
Wolverine
Iron Man

Capcom
Amaterasu
Ryu
Rad Spencer
Chun Li
C. Viper
Hsien-ko
Jill (DLC)
Chris
Wesker
Dante
Trish
Arthur
Felicia
Morrigan
Viewtiful Joe
Tron Bonne
Mike Haggar
Akuma (unlock)
Zero

Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright make cameos in She-Hulk's ending. I think I might be missing a character, but it's 38 for the roster.[/spoiler]

And about the X thing...are we sure they're talking about Mega Man X? Cause a quick search found me this and this.

X was de-confirmed a while ago, back around PAX in September.

- Seth was talking about how characters mentioned in the suggestion box were too late, because the roster was pretty close to being finalized at that point, and mentioned X alongside Phoenix (Wright) and Gene.

- And with Nitsuma saying that there will be a X rep, YES, Zero will be in it, pretty much also confirms that TvC characters count as veterans.

- Seth said that X fans would be happy[/quote]

The last two bits were basically rumors at the time, but they, too, eventually came to pass, as we now know Zero is in the game. So yeah, Mega Man X likely won't be in this game, unless DLC some how makes it that way. And I honestly can't see X winning out over the original, if it came down to it...

[STM]

Classic and EXE are far more likely than X. I can't use the Inafune defense to shoot down X hopefuls since he's now off doing whatever an Inafune does (sit in his underwear at home and blog while drawing Zero carving up the Capcom logo?) but those two along with Trigger have been more popular Mega Mans in odd ways that don't necessarily related to game sales (Classic charm vs. Kid friendly vs. Holy [parasitic bomb], why did it take this long for Legends 3 to come out?)

X's popularity was mostly killed with the lovely string of titles called X5-X8 (put your personal feelings for the titles aside, you know they all have issues.) MHX tried to rebolster it, but it just didn't give the series that vital resuscitative spark it desperately needed.

But don't despair. X still isn't the absolute bottom rung... the ZX Megas are the worst of them all.

What about Sabaru and War Rock? They have a better chance?

[Karasai♪]

If that made any sense, it would probably be in really bad taste. I don't have much tolerance for 9/11 jokes because only 1% of them are funny. Consider this a warning.

It was just a joke....

[HokutoNoBen]

Not so much EXE, because he was also de-confirmed. Remember, Americans (who MvC3 is directly marketed towards) largely don't share the EXE love that Japan does.

It was also due to poor placement/timing. Any body could have told Inafking that releasing the Rockman game duo on the PSP, during the time frame they were released, was a BAD idea. The PSP wasn't a hot gaming commodity in Japan until Monster Hunter Portable made it so, and gave the PSP a "Pokemon" type of phenomenon of its own.

I'd be willing to bet that if Inafking and Capcom had waited a little while longer, and released the Rockman games AFTER the MHF boom, they would have been much better received, just like a whole slew of other PSP games/series were made much relevant thanks to MHF. To me, it's pretty telling when both IHX and RockRock alike a had a brief surge of sales posthumously , because a whole new slew of PSP owners finally got around to trying those games out and actually saw that they were a decent time to be had.

And another note, X was at the top of poll data taken from Nico about what Capcom characters would Japanese gamers like to see in the game. Results as follows:

1. X (Megaman X)
2. Date Masamune (Sengoku Basara)
3. Vergil (Devil May Cry)
4. Megaman.EXE (MegaMan Battle Network)
5. Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil 4)
6. Pheonix Wright (Ace Attorney)
7. Ken Masters (Street Fighter)
8. Cammy (Street Fighter 2)
9. Tabasa (aka Tessa, Warzard aka Red Earth)
10. Guy (Final Fight)
11. Cody (Final Fight)
12. Sanada Yukimura (Sengoku Basara)
13. Kasuga (Sengoku Basara)
14. Bass.EXE (MegaMan Battle Network)
15. Maeda Keiji (Sengoku Basara)
16. Gene (God Hand)
17. Batsu (Project Justice)
18. Akira (Project Justice)
19. Jedah (Vampire Savior)
20. Jin Saotome (Cyberbots Full Metal Madness)
21. Saki (Quiz Nanairo Dreams, TvC)
22. Kaijin no Soki (Onimusha Dawn of Dreams)
23. Leviathan (Megaman Zero)
24. Kirin (Monster Hunter, A Unicorn Monster)
25. Grey (Megaman ZX Advent)
26. Roll (Megaman)
27. Rock Volnutt (Megaman Legends)
28. Harp Note (Megaman Star Force)
29. Alex (Street Fighter 3)
30. Ingrid (Capcom Fighting Jam/Evolution)
31. Captain Commando (Captain Commando)
32. Chuck Green (Dead Rising 2)
33. Edward (Falcon? Fokker? Power Stone)
34. Oda Nobunaga (Sengoku Basara)
35. Ryu (Breath of Fire)
36. Demitri (Darkstalkers)
37. Gallon (aka Jon Talbain, Darkstalkers)
38. Red Arremer (Ghouls n' Ghosts)
39. Zack (Treasure Island Z: Barbaros' Treasure)
40. Sonson (Sonson, MvC2)
41. Regina (Dino Crisis)
42. Sheva Alomar (Resident Evil 5)
43. Nash (aka Charlie, Street Fighter Alpha)
44. Vanessa (P.N.0.3.)
45. PTX-40 (Lost Planet)
46. Leo (Warzard/Red Earth)
47. Dhalsim (Street Fighter 2)
48. Unknown Soldier 1P (Lost World)
49. Sigma (Megaman X)
50. Yagyu Jubei (Onimusha)
51. William Gray (Dark Void)
52. Hayato Kanzaki (Star Gladiator)
53. Maximo (Maximo)
54. Michelle Heart (Ares no Tsubasa/Legendary Wings)
55. Lou (Three Wonders)


So it would seem safe to believe that, no matter how poorly Capcom may have treated X in these last few years, he's still loved in Japan just as much as he is elsewhere. It's only a matter of time before Capcom will actually capitalize on that...

[Karasai♪]

EXE,
de-confirmed.

 

[OBJECTION MAN]

You're the only one who would object to that.

Everyone else is glad.

[Solar]

Speak for yourself >__>

[Karasai♪]

Everyone else is glad.

 
Is everyone you?

[Hypershell]

I'm just indifferent.  But if I intended to own the game (I don't have an HD console), then I'd certainly prefer Rock to Hub.

[Flame]

He just doesnt fit.
he isnt a fan favorite unlike any OTHER character from EXE.

Hell, I wouldnt be surprised if one of the other navis made it in. Like Colonel, or hell, maybe even Forte EXE or Zero EXE.

[Karasai♪]

If Zero wasnt in the game, Forte EXE would replace him.

4 Reps for one series seems extreme.

THIS ISNT STREET FIGHTER VS X MEN 2. THIS IS MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3

[Mirby]

It was just a joke....

There are some things you don't joke about... >_>

Anywho, EXE deconfirmed, big whoop. I'd still like to see X; then again, maybe the reason he isn't in is his whole "I ABHOR VIOLENCE" thing he had in X7 and they felt it fit or something.

X became a peace pussy in X7
He got over it a little in X8
He got extremely Violent in Rockman Online

[Mirby]

I'd still much rather see X than any other Mega Man.

[HokutoNoBen]

Storm and Crimson Viper confirmed.

[Solar]

At least the way he described how Viper played sounded kinda interesting with her having Focus Attacks and stuff, and if I'm honest I've always thought that she was a perfect fit for Marvel (mind you, that doesn't mean I wouldn't rather have someone else like, say, CapCom instead of her).

[STM]

I was expecting Juri, but this will do...

[Align]

I thought Crimson Viper was confirmed ages ago? Or was that some other fightan gaem?

[HokutoNoBen]

She was "heavily suspected" by the Character Silhouette display from months ago, then backed up the roster leaked I posted above. NOW she's officially confirmed.

[Satoryu]

I was expecting Juri, but this will do...

That who I thought they'd pick. But you know what, Viper looks pretty fun sped up.

Ben: No more Darkstalkers characters aside from Morrigan and Felicia means no Hsien-ko which means that list ain't 100% right. Also, I don't believe Akuma for a second.

[Solar]

I already commented on that when you first questioned me about it Sato.

And honestly, remember TvC and SSF4? At this point the best we can hope for is that the list is not complete IMO =/

[The Blind Archer]

Storm and C. Viper?  No complaints here.  Although...

So... you doin' anything after this?

Good ol' Tony. That made my day.

[HokutoNoBen]

Ben: No more Darkstalkers characters aside from Morrigan and Felicia means no Hsien-ko which means that list ain't 100% right. Also, I don't believe Akuma for a second.

You're actually going off a bit of a mis-quote. What Niitsuma said on his twitter weeks ago was that "there are no more Darkstalkers to be had beyond the ones that are already in the game". That was not to be inferred as "no more Darkstalkers. period.", but rather, if Niitsuma could have added one more, Gallon (Talbain) would have been his very next pick. In short, count on Lei-Lei (Hsien-ko) being in the game.

And as for Akuma....really? You say that, knowing that Capcom has just finished revealing "EVIL! Ryu" and "ONI! Akuma" for SSF4 AE?
