Okay, I'm totally maining Rocket Raccoon for the accent alone!

[Solar]

"Air strike, sucka's! I love the smell of napalm in the morning!"

I want to main Rocket SO bad.

Yeah, the more I watch RR in action, the more I want to use him.  Seems like his health is pretty terrible though, Akuma chipped him out pretty easily.  His death yell and win-quote against Chris are comedy gold, though.

[Satoryu]

I'm surprised at how different they've made Frank. And Raccoon is a treat to watch.

[Ninja Lou]

Wow they took out real Megabuster, not a fan of that. I figured they would have at least switched it to a Protoman based super.

Hope there's a good reason for that...

[Satoryu]

Maybe they were thinking they had enough characters with beam supers and keepaway projectiles and wanted to balance it out with another rushdown character. Though the TvC move I miss the most is the shopping cart projectile.

[Protoman Blues]

They're planning on making Blues DLC later on, so it makes sense that they didn't

[Jericho]

Anyone else watching the IPW UMvC3 stream right now?

[Satoryu]

I am. Interesting, even though there ain't a lot of high level stuff.

[AquaTeamV3]

Here's are Youtube links for those who missed it (myself included).

Part 1
Part 2

At around 33:51 you can see that Phoenix Wright's assists are fully invincible in Turnabout mode.  That's pretty scary.

Jill and Shuma's alternate costumes are packed into the game. No need to wait for these to show up in a DLC pack. I don't know what the hell happened to Shuma there, but hellz yeah tube top Jill. Too bad no one will use her.

Also if you have a vanilla save file on your system, Galactus Mode is unlocked already. If you don't have a save file, you unlock it by getting 30,000PP.

[VixyNyan]

Too bad no one will use her.

I will.

[AquaTeamV3]

Capcom's doing it again...

It's an just an ending cameo, just like all the others.

I'm more worried about X supposedly being Zero's alt, and no, this isn't just from that one of Niitsuma's tweets.

At this point, the most likely scenario is Classic MM being DLC and X being Zero's alt.  That doesn't bother me at all; while I'd love to see X in the game as a separate character, the route they're taking now kind of gives fans of both characters something to enjoy.  That said, if Classic MM is DLC he's gonna need an overhaul in the weapon-switching department.  That Eddie nonsense was terrible.

Posted on: November 11, 2011, 11:20:48Dang, those costumes look sharp!

[Satoryu]

Indeed they do. I wouldn't mind Nova Zero as DLC.

What, did someone get the Brady guide early? It supposedly shows everyone's DLC costumes. At least it did for Doctor Strange. Now I'm kinda worried all the costumes are on the disc already.

[Solar]

They kinda have to be to be pre-order bonuses and for the guide to know them.

[AquaTeamV3]

And having them in the guide lets people look at them and decide whether they want to buy them or not.  It's pretty much free advertisement on Capcom's part.  In other news, people are getting salty about Megaman appearing in Nova's (and Thor's) ending.  I thought it was clever above anything else. :/

[Satoryu]

People are stupid.

But Doctor Strange's wasn't in a preorder bonus. Seth's tweet was the first time the public's seen that. 3/4 of the cast's costumes are still unknown.

People are stupid.

Or maybe everyone still remembers both Niitsuma's non-reasons for excluding MM and X (I'm sure that by now, the fanbase has come up with a thousand ways to make those two distinct from the other fighters)?

I dunno. I'm glad that these new cameos aren't of the "becomes horrible and depressing with context" variety, like the Imperfect Future reference, at least. And those ARE some nice Nova costumes.

People took Niitsuma's excuses seriously? They were so outlandish that I wrote them off as being a smokescreen for whatever they plan to do with him in the future.  I still have a hunch that he'll be a DLC character, and Niitsuma wouldn't let the cat out of the bag before its time.  Seeing as I don't own the original MvC3, I wasn't aware that they spliced Megaman into Thor's old ending (I thought it was new):

[spoiler=Vanilla Ending][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Ultimate Ending][/spoiler]

Yeah, there's definitely some hinting going on here.

[Tsukishiro]

Quick question for everyone... Is Roll a part of the roster yet? Because they could end up just putting her into the game instead, and declare it done...

On the other hand, if they decide to put in Blues over either of the blue ones, then they could say the same thing(declare it done for their Megaman quota), and people like PB would cry out "YEEEEESSS!" over his debut....

[The Great Gonzo]

I wasn't aware of the splice, either. But I believe that Niitsuma explicitly stated at one point that MM wouldn't be DLC; there might be some grounds in MM or X getting in anyway in Capcom's backpedaling on Strider Hiryu, but I honestly can't tell if they're hinting at inclusion or just yanking our chains again, and I'm not holding out any hope for the former.

Especially since, you know, that Imperfect Future reference was explicitly stated to not be a hint of any kind.

No.

Niitsuma also said that Yatterman-2 wouldn't be in TvC:UAS, and look what happened there.  You've gotta take what he says with a grain of salt, because he does have a tendency to say stuff that isn't necessarily true, and as you said, Capcom can change their mind on a whim.
