xDxD! Spider-Man's line. Fantastic. And M.O.D.O.K. Hilarious. xD! I'm sorta excited for this game now. More so than I was at the announcement.

Who was voiced by Jim Cummings? Magneto? MODOK? EVERYBODY?

BTW Capcom's Seth Killian has hinted that Marvel's roster has the most insane thing ever put in a Capcom game and that it melted his mind.  He thought it was a joke when they told him.

He just said that he was NOT talking about MODOK.   Squirrel Girl?  Ant Man?  Scarlet Witch?

Honestly I was thinking a while back about how cool it would be to have Stan Lee in as a playable character, and his attacks could include abilities of all the heroes he created. He could be the most insane, godly powered character ever.

Also Vec, I could somewhat understand Squirrel Girl and Ant-man as possibly insane choices, but how on earth did you come to the conclusion the Scarlet Witch could be? o.o

(p.s. give me Galactus =D Maybe all you could see us his foot as he STOMPS YOU TO DEATH AND THEN EATS YOU)

ATM I would say that the only people I find pointless are Spencer, Felicia, X-23, and Trish.  I might even make MODOK a secondary of my teams, and try to get his theme as often as possible.

X-23 and Trish I can understand, being that they are fairly similar in style (if not actual gameplay style) to the main characters of their respective... "settings" for lack of a better word (Wolverine and DMC). Spencer may be a bit generic, but at least Capcom is pulling from more of their franchises than Street Fighter. But how can you say Felicia is pointless? She plays and looks so different to anyone else in MvC3 thus far. Generic lolcatgirl, yes, but at least she's bringing something different to the table.

Also, yay for something completely different. Boo for it being MODOK. Arcade would have been a better left field choice.

Still hoping for Ka-Zar, Siryn, Domino or Bob, Agent of HYDRA.

Reality rewriting powers?  He also said that the character would be ridiculously hard to balance.

She has claws and rolls?  Which would be more of an asset if not for X-23.

Spencer would work better with his rearmed version, which at least is less serious.

Before House of M the Scarlet Witch just had probability powers and typical chaos magic style abilities. If they could write her for decades without being ridiculously overpowered ala HoM then there's certainly no reason why she couldn't just be a fighter with magic based attacks in MvC3. Actually now I'm excited to hopefully see Wanda in the game but considering her lack of appearances in the comics lately it seems sadly unlikely. =(

Felicia is obviously Capcom's answer to ASW's Taokaka. Why else would she be in? 😛 Nah i'm glad she's in. Same for Trish and X-23. Trish most definitely...considering I want to destroy all of my DMC fanboy friends with her. Because I know they'll be using Dante[duh]. I'm really excited to see more females. Really wish there were other Capcom properties though. Power Stone, Rival Schools...and more Darkstalkers characters[Jedah please, oh please].

Jim Cummings voiced MODOK, iirc, in the Iron-Man animated cartoon of the early 90s. I'll double check though as I could be wrong, but regardless his voice was awesome.

Edit:  Yup, was definitely Jim Cummings.  He was the best thing about that series.

As much as MODOK is an awesome curveball I still wish we had more relevant characters in the roster. Seriously, they put in Super Skrull, Dormammu, X-23 and MODOK over the Fantastic Four?

First off all, why waste four spots when you can have one character who share the other four's abilities
Also, X-23 recently had her own comic book and MODOK played a large role in the Avengers

Just because they haven't been in a 4th rate Marvel movie doesn't mean they're irrelevant.

Yeah, The Super Skrull's like a 4-in-1 character for The Fantastic Four, which means they won't have to spend so much energy on all the work that would undoubtedly go into animating and balancing 4 different characters and can spend more of their energy on other things...

BTW, I haven't seen SuperSkrull use any of Sues abilities so far for some reason... no invisibility or shield so far...but THAT WOULD be kinda borken, though.

Doesn't matter, any of the Fantastic Four would still have been better than including a lesser known and relatively unpopular character like Super-Skrull. Hell, I wouldn't want ALL of the Fantastic Four in, but a couple of them would certainly be nice, especially the Invisible Woman and Human Torch. Mr.Fantastic could be an interesting charater but i wouldn't want the Thing in due to his move similarities to Hulk i.e. smash things.

And even if X-23 had her own comic book, it doesn't mean she's a great character. I'd rather have a marvel character with a more diverse power set than slashing things and being a clone of Wolverine. Even if her moveset and playstyle aren't the same as Wolverine's, it still feels like a wasted character slot when a more popular and relevant character with a more interesting moveset could be included.

Modok's pretty awesome and unique I'll grant you but I still feel there are characters more worthwhile of being included.

I like the idea of playing as someone who has ALL OF THEIR POWERS AT ONCE better than just playing as one of them.

Johnny Storm- FLAME POWERS! YEAH!

Mr. Fantastic- *!+!@! CAN'T ESCAPE MY MAD REACH!

Sue Storm- (Actually, I don't how she would play... it seems like her powers would be hard to implement.)

Thing- %@#+ YEAH LETS SMASH SOME !*%!. (You're right, his powers are hulk-like.)

SuperSkrull- All of the above.

I think SuperSkrull will make up the difference in popularity between him and the FF with... fun-to-playness. Even if he isn't as well-known as any of the members of the Fantastic Four I'm sure people will forget about that at around the time they're pummeling someone into the pavement with their stretchy, rocky, flaming fists of pwning.

And I geuss I agree that there are more popular characters they could have added... But... I don't know, I just don't think popularity should be THE DECIDING FACTOR for who gets put in. I think it should matter that the characters are kind of well-known enough so that most people aren't scratching their heads when they see them pop on the screen, but I don't think the size of someone's fanbase should be the be-all and end-all of it. I mean, if you did that you could be missing out on a variety of characters who could possibly bring something more/different to the table.

Can't really think of any way to illustrate the above sentiment but that's how I feel the relationship between popularity and roster selection should be...

You cannot give the public what it wants right away. Where would the franchise go if there were no more "eagerly awaited" characters. Johnny at the very least will eventually make an appearance. Reed too if you pray to Dahlsim.

Producer discomfirms characters/series for MvsC3.

In a bunch of replies to fans posted on his twitter, Marvel vs Capcom 3 producer Ryota Niitsuma disconfirmed a number of characters and series. He also left a few interesting hints. The translation work is done by Johnz.

Update: RyanCE says this about the Darkstalker's comment translation;

"Darkstalkers series - It is important to consider worldwide appeal. Although I did want to include more characters from this series, the development schedule did not permit this. Jon Talbain would have been my pick."

- He thanks everyone for their tweets regarding character suggestions

- Demetri is still not in the game, (Not that there aren't anymore Darkstalkers in the game like some people are assuming.)

- No Monster Hunter

- No Sengoku BASARA

- No Breath of Fire

- No Gill (Street Fighter), but Niitsuma likes him

- Mega Man fans have to wait a little longer

Bracing for announcement.

Shame about the lack of any Sengoku Basara and especially Breath of Fire characters. =( I'd have loved some BoF Ryu, Nina or most importantly Katt. =( Also surprised about no Monster Hunter rep; I've never played the games so I'm not particularly upset at this but considering how popular it is in Japan it's wierd that it's not getting any representation here.

But conceptually similar. There are tons of non-clones that could play the same roles X-23 and She-Hulk do.

GameStop just revealed some things they weren't supposed to.

1. Jill and Shuma DLC.

2. Capcom is using DLC to release characters that are apparently at least developed enough to be confirmed this far ahead of release, so you can expect TONs of paid DLC.

Kensk reveals that Storm, Taskmaster, and HsienKo will also be DLC.

When it comes to clones She Hulk's always been pretty different to Hulk once she left the Savage She-Hulk days behind, in full control of her powers, fun loving, very intellegent, and a lot less likely to give into anger.

Plus in her 30 year history she's only ever had 2 playable appearences in games prior to this, one as a hidden character in a rather unimpressive Fantastic Four beat 'em up for the PSOne and the other in the DS version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Considering she tends to be quite a frequent character in the Marvel universe you'd think she'd get SOME recognition from the Hulk games at least.

As for X-23 so long as she plays well I'm happy, but she's a much more recent addition, and actually is a clone of Wolverine in backstory. When you factor that with Daken, Logan's biological son, who's only different is the middle claws being dumb and his bones being...bone, Sabertooth who's more unique than the previous two (though admittedly we've seen him before) and Lady Deathstrike who was awesome in X2, and could've had a more interesting fighting style due to her really long, spindly claws, it kind'a feels like a bit of a raw deal to me.

Truth be told though, the one thing X-23 definitely replaces is a better mutant/X-Man. Or a non-X-Men realated character, which this series has had by the boat load.

Edit:  Though to add a positive view on this, two super women, one rather new, one rather not, both somewhat obscure overall, especially compared to their male counterparts.  Very good job in my eyes, looking at it like that at least.

I could go on a huge rant about how under appreciated female super heroes are outside the comics themselves, especially with movies, more so today than thirty years ago as well.  So getting these two in playable roles, in a game that will be big, is definitely a step forward overall.

Yea...personally i'm pleased with She Hulk after seeing her gameplay. I thought she'd be much like He Hulk. I was wrong. She looks pretty fun. Might put her in my All Female Team. Trish, She Hulk and Chun Li. Yea...I like that. And then Zero. Ha! He replaced MM. Talk about fan service. MM will probably be DLC I bet. Should be the other way around. Oh well.

Speaking of DLC wow. Thanks Veckums. How did this get leaked. IGN...way to go. Losers. 😛

Funny how I assumed it was IGN that leaked it, even after reading Gamestop. lol

You don't understand the concept of cloning, do you?

Besides, She Hulk and the Hulk are blooded related cousins. Not a clone of the other.

Besides, She Hulk is the most popular Marvel female now. Like they were just gonna screw her over MvC.

Er, since when?? I can think of a number of more popular female Marvel characters than She-Hulk, including Emma Frost, Spider-woman and Ms. Marvel. Don't get me wrong, I love the character but it seems a bit redundant to add her when her powerset is so similar to the Hulk's. It's not so much that she's a bad character but in a game with a limited roster, her's and X-23's inclusion seem a bit, well, baffling.

Honestly, Ms. Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Emma Frost, Invisible Woman, Wasp/Giant Girl, Songbird, Sister Grimm, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop of the Young Avengers) or Medusa would have all been far more interesting characters to add than those two.

But I guess the addition of dlc characters give some more hope for more deserving characters like the ones I listed to be included. I'm very pleased to see Jill Valentine added, but hate how they're using her RE5 appearance and presumably basing her moveset around her more Wesker-esque abilities from RE5. I want my RE1/3 Jill, god damnit. =(

That's sort of the most bizarre thing about it. Other than, Storm, who is unannounced DLC, the ONLY females Marvel has in the game are clones. vs. tons of them with Capcom who, other than perhaps the exception of Trish, are their own characters.

She-Hulk is better than X-23 for those reasons, but Shadow has a totally different personality than Sonic, with somewhat different powers, and he's still a clone. You could easily argue that Shadow has less in common with Sonic than She-Hulk does with Hulk.

True, unfortunately this isn't something easy to avoid in comics.  It's pretty difficult to find female superheroes who are both unnasociated with a male counterpart and/or weren't established as part of a team.  Though there are some that still stand out from the crowd despite being both of these things.

She-Hulk is better than X-23 for those reasons, but Shadow has a totally
different personality than Sonic, with somewhat different powers, and
he's still a clone. You could easily argue that Shadow has less in
common with Sonic than She-Hulk does with Hulk.

So was Knuckles and Tails bar a few different gameplay mechanics, with Shadow he played exactly the same as Sonic, only with different levels.  She-Hulk clearly has a different play style to Hulk in this game, which is what seperates her overall.  She may be a clone character/female equivalent, but why is it that which is seen as a problem when we've had Juggernaut and Colosus also fill the heavy type along with Hulk in the past?  If anything she's being used closer to how Rogue played, having a more defined fighting style to throw her strength better.
