I thought we already got confirmation that Felicia and Morrigan were going to be the only two Darkstalkers characters anyway.


Niitsuma clarified it more as any who didn't have massive amounts of shapeshifting that meant overloading the memory with different models. Or Demitri because Marvel weren't fans of Midnight Bliss. Which left Hsien-Ko, B.B.Hood and Talbain as they had much less animation routines or model calls than the other Darkstalker's characters. Hsien-Ko just needs to call in some models for her spike balls, B.B.Hood needs two extra for Cruel hunting and for her bombs and Talbain is the easiest Darkstalker to do in 3D as he doesn't do anything major. Those three could theoretically make it in, but Bulleta is the third most popular Darkstalker according to Capcom polls plus the bomb graffiti being on the board gives a bit of evidence.

Its conjecture, but hell, its a week till they release episode two and we get some more info. Its just speculation at the minute because Capcom have been extremely tight lipped so far on the game. Seth mentioned at PAX that they are very close to the final build though. January release?

21st of September for Valk. 560 MS Funbux like last time. Some gameplay at 2:15 in this video.



Meanwhile, BlazBlue CS2 will be the first ever Arcade game distributed digitally. Interesting, no?

Storm and Magneto were semi-confirmed in the original Team Spooky leak so unless Capcom gets greedy and holds one of them back for DLC, I can see them being announced in the next two months. They already mentioned they spread Cable out on Deadpool and Chris too so probably a no go there. As for Jugs. Thats probably a wait and see (Has he been relevant between Around April 2008 and now?).

Super-Skrull seems to be a more aggressive version of Dhalsim too. Tenderizer and Inferno for the keepaway and Orbital Grudge, elastic slam and Skrull Torch for the rushdown. Throw in Teleporting shenanigans with Meteor Smash and Death Penalty (Depends how much you can bait and punish on this though) and he seems to have the tools required for to play like 'sim.

In news

Capcom threatens to undo all goodwill to them in the last two years

Welp. Next two characters to get gameplay videos in Marvel Vs Capcom 3 will be Tron Bonne and X-23

Snikt-bubette? Come ooooon Marvel. Could have even given us Daken with his "Fuck everything in a 5 mile radius" power.

I wanna take you for a ride~

Also, with X-23, Capcom have the mandatory moé-blob required of all fighting games circa 2005. Plus, I'm getting a big Leona vibe with her dash moves crossed with a bit of Cammy. Could have seen someone more interesting, but then apparently we might have 20+ reveals to go. Plenty of time and space.

Glitch strikes again. So just going to mention that Capcom will be revealing more on their stream at the weekend. Probably another few characters. Also, this has already appeared.

Marvel have been kind of trying to figure out how to push X-23 as of late. To be fair, she's not as phoned-in a female Wolverine counterpart as you'd expect, at least in the comics, but that doesn't mean anything when it comes to how she plays in this (And judging from her attitude in that video, they don't seem to care about sticking to her characterisation in the comics or cartoon either).


They do have to throw it out the window a little in fighting games though due to the nature of the beast. Sound cues are as important as visual cues in some cases. They have to make her sound a bit more aggressive so you know whats coming. A bit of a lame justification. But hey, fighting games.

Also, with X-23, thats two vocal themes. Deadpool has one too. I like that they are going pretty crazy with the music. Chun-Li's theme still sucks though.

In more news, Here's Seth Killian showing off the simple mode in the TGS build as well



Win quotes are back. I missed win quotes.

They already had team achievements in MvC2 XBLA (Street Fighters, Darkstalkers, X-Men and Avengers) so its probably a given.

Gametrailers have a bunch of new videos from the newest build, up

Marvel likes having stuff related to the comics in with alternates. Deadpool has an X-Force Alt and an Alt from one of the "What if?" books where he was a part of Wolverine's X-Men (Also, Mango Deadpool. FUCK THE KNICKS), Wolvie has his X-Force costume etc. Pink Thor I have no idea about though.

Dormammu looks pretty hype too. The power up stuff sounds really interesting, as does the keep away stuff. He's got some Thanos in him too.

It's weird that they have not said a peep about Felicia though. A couple of people got a hold of her at SVB in the UK and once they had her command dash figured and started trying some Doom lockdown with her, she became extremely dangerous and even gave Trish and Dante major trouble. Kitty Helper also works like Ai-Chan in TvC for cross ups and Cat Spike seems to overhead now. She could have some ridiculous rushdown with one or two more tools.

Also, Capcom Europe screwed up this morning. No announcement this morning but there are two more TGS MvC3 shows to go and at least two more characters coming. Spider-Man and Wesker seem the best bet for tomorrow as well. Sunday could be anything really (Or a repeat, but its Capcom's biggest show of the year so they will probably have something significant to go out on a bang with).

Capcom confirmed this morning as well that MvC3 would be released in Japan's financial Q4 2010 which means sometime between January and March. I'm tending to go for Mid-Late March though since this game has got a veritable smörgåsbord of stuff in it and QA is probably going to be hell but April 2011 seems a little crazy so far (Thats the timeframe for Duke Nukem Forever and Mortal Kombat apparently. Holy shit, it really is 1998 again). We shall see though.

Comparing Dormammu to Thanos gameplay-wise doesn't seem that apt of a comparison to me. From what little I saw of high-level Thanos play, Thanos zoning didn't get much more sophisticated than j. HP, and otherwise he had to get fairly aggressive to satisfy his insatiable hunger for meter. (To be fair, Thanos DID have some truly awesome supers -- it's just that he didn't offer enough versatility on point or as an assist to merit taking him for mere DHC utility. He just generally wasn't worth the massive meter dump.)

If I wanted to compare his zoning to an MvC2 character I guess I'd say he's more like a more sophisticated Cable than anybody else (yes, including Blackheart, who he's commonly compared to). Dark Hole is a versatile way to block off a chunk of the screen much like Cable grenades, and he seems to have a fairly linear but functional air poke arsenal with plenty of room to modify his air velocities with moves like his teleport and his 8-way air dash. With the right assist to cover the startup on his slower zoning moves, he seems like he'll be a very versatile synthesis of MvC2 zoning tools.

That said, I don't know if I'll have the aptitude to play as him. My execution is low and so are my reaction speeds, so I tend to gravitate towards reasonably mobile and safe pressure characters so as to keep my space control fairly simple -- block and dodge projectiles, get in, finish combo, mix up, repeat until dead. For my purposes, I'll probably keep an ear to the ground for what kind of top-tier MSP-style rushdown teams emerge -- hopefully something with easy combos along the lines of X/Tron-Y assist like in MvC2.

I'm going to get petty here and say I hope to God a rushdown point beastlier (no pun intended) than Felicia emerges. I just don't know if I could stomach having to play against legions of top-tier catgirls. Give me Magneto any day; all top-tier characters should be villainous, manly as hell, or ideally, both at once. (I dunno who's top tier in Arcana Heart, but they probably have a dick.)

Also, Magneto is cool because he levitates and his hands have afterimages. Felicia doesn't have DICK for afterimages.


Floating Bomb seems a more beastly version of Thanos' Power infinity and Meteor Shower is a more expanded of his Space infinity. Though I think I am using the MSH version of Thanos as a reference point rather than the quite nerfed MvC2 version. I can see the Cable comparison however, particularly with Chaotic Flame and the focus on controlling space with his portals.

I'm pretty sure Mags will be in there. Just wouldn't be Marvel without him though I wonder since they are aware of the "balance issues" how bad he's gonna get it or will they just stick to their current gameplan of making everyone ridiculously broken and crazy. As for Felicia, I just found it interesting how little Capcom talked about her when she was able to easily get in on Dante and Trish in the right hands during SVB. She's not as good as Chun or Cap apparently but that dash and Dark Force hyper have massive potential to be really annoying. Seth was also talking about X-23's low dash assist (Her Ground Saber style move) has properties like this as well as she can Hi-Low mixup on it too.

They really are getting it and its looking more Mahvel with each build. Dodgy character choices or not. But hell, were getting MvC3 in the same year as Duke Nukem Forever and mere months after Gran Turismo 5. These are good times people.

I've been thinking about this since SFIV vanilla that, they sort of just live with any bugs or balance issues and new characters mean new iteration. Where I think back to MKII/III (I know American developer) and the games magazines were talking about new versions come out just about every week more of the PC style patching.

Not entirely viable because, whilst initial patches are freely allowed on the Xbox, the publisher has to pay something like $10,000 for every patch thereafter. It's all free on the PS3, but that doesn't matter when it's multiformat.


I believe there are some exceptions to the rule like EA where they have their own servers. They just have to get a smaller QA pass from MS (They pay much less) and then they upload their patch on their own servers. Every new FIFA gets at least 10 patches before December. Other developers have to wait in line and have MS do a QA pass which is why it costs so much and other developers do so little patches or bundle them with DLC.

Developers are thinking of ways around it. Uber Entertainment found a way to tweak and balance values on the fly on the game servers that doesn't need patching for Monday Night Combat and Netherrealm will be using that after the game is released.

Looks like there was no surprise MvC3 announcements either. Just a live demo of the TGS build. Of we go to NYC Comic Con in three weeks then.

Capcom are bringing back Japan Time in style.

The MvC3 Special Stage from Sunday is now up. Mostly in Japanese but some English this time.



Also, the direct versions of the Spidey and Wesker trailers. Looks like the Japanese actor for Wesker butchers "COMPLETE. GLOBAL. SATURATION" at the end though.





Possibly going to Eurogamer Expo where they will have MvC3 as well. Fun times with this game.

Good news. Rainbow Mika won't be in SSF4 Arcade edition. Now they can waste another slot with another SF3 character we don't care about.

Also, have a video of fL0E absolutely murdering someone with Trish and The Hulk at MvC3 fight club.



Word out of fight club from various posts online is

- Trish was a goddamn beast. Closest MvC3 has to a God Tier character so far.

- Doom seems different. Photon Assualt and Array are done QCF+A or (AA for Array) now. Now has two worthwhile assists with Molecular shield and Rocket Belt. Still same old Doom from MvC2 other than that.

- Super-Skrull is going to be a handful but seems the most well balanced so far. Skrull Torch cancels out when it hits a wall or ground though so its punishable. Tenderizer is a great assist and is safe on block. Meteor Smash is seriously unsafe though.

- Dormammu needs a bit of work. But seems solid zoning so far.

- Thor was the worst character but was the least complete. Could be devastating when tuned up. Has an 8 way dash too. Mag'-Fuckin'-Gief?

- Hulk does stupid amounts of damage. Could be beastly on his own but was ridiculous with Trish and/or Doom

- Chris has a good chance of being decent if they tune him right. Not being able to dash cancel his normals makes him not decent (This might be a bug though)

- Dante is the new Ken and Cable rolled into one. I know you are looking forward to that one.

- Chun-Li is ridiculously fast on rushdown and Doom assist cross-ups and has 8-Way Airdash. Uh oh. Her new Level 3 is now a more cinematic version of Tensei Ranka from 3rd Strike.

- Ryu. Meh. Also has the same problem as Chris with no dash cancel normals. But again, early version, possible bug, yadda yadda.

- Morrigan is still dangerous. Lots of cross-ups and rushdown potential.

- Deadpool's L3 can be activated on reaction. That is going to be a lot of fun. Otherwise, pretty standard keepaway. Should be popular with ex-cable players.

- Felicia is pretty much Ai-Chan from TvC with even more rushdown. She can cross up Dante very easy with the cat crawl command run. Meter charge is also cancelable into Cat-Spike or Cat Crawl. Sand Splash still sucks though. Will be very interesting to see how she turns out.

- Captain America has a much more beastly shield slash now. Very fast and anti-air can stuff out jump ins. And its finally confirmed that Final Justice will have Raging Demon style properties and a new animation (It's cinematic now).

- Amaterasu is OK at the minute. A fairly low hitbox as expected but takes damage like crazy. No more anti-air ice ball assist either. Plays a lot like Strider crossed with TvC Volnutt.

It's a locke so loads can change between now and release (Looking like late March. Seth was saying that they are looking for approval to get one or two more characters in before they go into crunch).

NYCC will be the next stage for info and characters and they will also be releasing new one or two bits of info every month till release. Japan time returns!

I don't doubt Trish has a lot of potential based on what we understand of her tools so far, but that video was just a high level fighting game dude who could do basic stuff like a BnB and an airdash versus a guy who had probably never touched the game before whose best inclination was to do naked super from full screen five times in a row because oh god where am I what am I doing


Actually, that was the "pro"-station they had set up for people who were experienced in MvC2. They were clever in setting that up (Which is odd considering the reports of how badly organised it was in general) and having other stations with just pads for those who just wanted to play some MvC3. The other guy was an experienced player (While it looked like he was just spamming out supers, he had triggered x-factor and was hoping that Trish would down into it after her flight mode timed out and chip her out with the damage boost). There are some other videos where fL0E just bodies the other guy using the Hulk as well. Will try find them.

Ah hey that's interesting, thanks. I still think the Dante had pretty much given up, though. I get trying to chip Trish out but I mean move around a little, bait it out, something.


Time seemed to be running out as well. I guess he just panicked and started spamming and hoping for a mistake.

Next reveals are at NYCC Comic con in two weeks and there will be an announcement soon after regarding the game modes.

Storm and Mags have been semi-confirmed for awhile with the leaknaki leak which also called Wesker appearing.

Speaking of leaknaki though, he has posted on SA and NeoGAF saying there will be "above 40" characters. Bad news is that there will be no Sengoku Basara characters in it (He posted that any leak list that has SB characters is autofake. That goes for any list below 40 characters as well).

Take ya guns off :(

He's not leaking a character list this time since people got in big trouble over SSF4 though. Were going to have to wait for Capcom Time this time around. I bet Storm or Mags will be revealed at NYCC though since its East Coast.

The less leaks, the better. While I still enjoyed the time leading up too SSF4's release, it would've been a lot more exciting and interesting if any of the reveals or announcements came as actual surprises. So far there hasn't really been much of anything announced for MvC3 that hasn't at least been hinted at to some extent, but hopefully there are some surprises in store.


I think the big stuff is still in store for us. Particularly on the Marvel side since they have only revealed a handful of new characters for them (X-23, Dormammu, Deadpool, Thor and Super Skrull) while the rest have been returning from the previous MvC games. On the other side, Capcom have been revealing much more new to the series characters (Chris, Wesker, Viewtiful Joe, Amaterasu, Dante, Trish).

I think there might be more surprises in store too. Seth Killian mentioned in an interview at Chicago fight club that they are in the process of approving one or two more characters for the disc before they close it off completely.

That makes me think that they are probably going to aim for a late March release though since Capcom are trying to get it out in Q1 2011. Plenty of hype to go then.

Which one? She's not in the English trailer anyway. Can you grab a screencap?

In other news. Seth Killian pretty much confirmed what Henaki was posting on NeoGAF and SA during a new Gamespot interview.



"Were at around 50%" with 20 characters revealed at the time? Seems like its 40 characters plus. Not 56 characters, but then its not slapping sprites into a game engine again, either.

New York CC should be interesting since it looks like they will be revealing the Game modes too. Bring back Cross Fever, Capcom!

I didn't get to EG Expo in the end (Apparently MvC3 was buried in some corner somewhere and barely anyone found it by the end of it. I have my tickets for MCM expo where we should have the NYCC build though, plus Mortal Kombat is going to be there as well, so double loke fun) but we are starting to get some of the gist of how Capcom is balancing MvC3 out. And by balancing, I mean

EVERYONE IS BROKEN

Look at the second video. You never expected a Chun/Morrigan/Felicia team to be an obscene rushdown machine now, did you? And how about X-Factor cancelling a Dormammu floating bomb into another for two on the screen? Or being able to air exchange while still being in dark force mode with Morrigan. Or being able to DHC into L3 hypers (Video 7 has a DHC from a Floating Bomb into Chris' Satellite Strike L3).

An insane Mahvel where everyone is broken and viable. I think I can accept this.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.



I'm not, and I'm a former KI player. I know how crazy does not equal good game. But it seems Capcom's strategy is "Broken is good. We like broken". If anything, we could see the assist characters have a reasonable chance at holding the fort once the point characters have been knocked out. Could even be a viable strategy to hold your assist character till the end if you can and use X-Factor to give them a power buff.

There always is a tier list. But to me, it seems that Capcom has gone in a more interesting direction in balancing the game out by trying to give everyone really good tools to at least stand a fighting chance. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Though we could see a Trish/Doom Killer in the 20 or so left to reveal as well.

I'd imagine Wesker or Felicia could just pop a command dash and get around the obstacle course. Ditto with Super Skrull's homing teleport overhead.

That and there is no way they would ever let something have the priority of AHVB again.

I'd imagine they are having one heck of a time balance checking that game right now.

So, call me crazy, but this looks _slower_ than MVC2


It doesnt look that great at 30FPS but its fine and much quicker looking in 60FPS. Gamersyde has all the trailers so far in 60FPS so try those as there is a big speed difference.

New Walkthroughs for Spider-Man, X-23, Wesker and Tron Bonne

X-23 has a bit of Blanka in her too along with Cammy, Juri and Leona. She looks quite interesting. Also, Wesker is going to have some very interesting rushdown.

You'd think having good dashes or teleports would get you around the obstacle course. Not entirely true (see: Spiral).


With the old MvC2, thats correct. This one has a massive difference in the way dashes and ports are done. Wesker seems to be able to teleport into an overhead for one. I really want to see more of Super Skrull's teleport. If that's safe on block, Kr'lt is going to be an absolute nightmare for zoning players.

I hope Mike Patton is still doing the voice.


It sounds like he is! The zip kick line and the win quote definitely sound like Patton though he dropped the growl a bit. Maybe I can accept this after all.



And Arthur to complete the set.

Arthur looks amazing, but i'm curious how he gains armor. Losing it seems simple enough... but gaining? Also, I'm thinking the armor may end up being mostly a visual effect... he seemed fine naked, damage wise

He appears to do some sort of super move to gain gold armour, so maybe the same move gives regular armour from nothing?


That is probably it. We probably wont find out until proper "Match" gameplay vids arrive.

Hilarious thing from the panel. Turns out the plot is different than everyone expected. Somehow Dr.Doom and Wesker meet via some portal and decide to create an unholy alliance and form a legion of Marvel and Capcom supervillians. They somehow end up summoning Dormammu and it all goes to pot from there.

Oh, if you want Marvel Super Heroes 2. Buy two copies of MvC3 (That's Capcom's solution to everything).

Also, from the stream last night

- Monster Hunter series is officially de-confirmed
- So is Vergil from Devil May Cry
- IGN in their infinite wisdom posted the MvC2 Re-release art all around their booth. If someone is claiming that its a reveal. Its not.
- No Episode 3 CGI trailer this weekend
- They know that the conventions are drying up as they get nearer Christmas and into next year, so from now on, they may be revealing characters at the MvC3 Fight Clubs. Next one is October 28th.

Bonus: Panel audience proceeding to flip their shit when Arthur is announced.

Arthur: Maybe this is the weird hard-to-balance hitherto-not-revealed character Seth Killian alluded to?


It's a Marvel Character. Seth just mentioned on the stream that its not MODOK either.

Squirrel Girl hype train begins here.

Blade, Mojo and Megaman.Exe are also now in the de-confirmed pile. But they are promising that there will be characters revealed every month until release.

So, I'm starting to notice something. The voice acting in this game is shaping up to be really exceptional.


They haven't really commented on it much, but the way its set up so the fighters are chatty in battle without getting annoying and making it seem natural is tremendous. They get a lot of personality out of even just doing the tags. Spidey yells "Maggie!" or "Albert!" when tagging in Magneto and Wesker, for example. They seem to have a running gag going where everyone can't pronounce Amaterasu and shout "Amateras!", or in the best one I heard on the stream, Felicia just shouts "Doggie!".

There is an obscene amount of production and polish being put into this game and it is really starting to show now.

Is that Sir Ian McKellen's Magneto I hear hmmm?


It's Tom Kane, the actor who played Magneto in that short lived "Wolverine and the X-Men" series. But most people would recognise his voice as Professor Utonium from The Powerpuff Girls.
