Quantcast



You know Amaterasu and Thor are in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, now watch the newly revealed fighters in action. Love that Capcom decided to pit Amaterasu against The Hulk. Hells yes you know that Amaterasu can defeat even the might green beast.

Really digging Amaterasu's fighting style. She's very quick and she even has some of the Celestial Brush powers as part of her move set. Nice.

After the break is Thor, but who cares! AMATERASU!!!

I don't know anything about Amaterasu, so im a bit more excited about Thor, but if they add Rad Spencer then that will make the game for me,

only thing that bothers me about mvsc (and it isn't much, really) is that every character *should* strongly connect with two others in context, but that's not always the case. Now the Amaterasu/Viewtiful Joe people need a God Hand teammate. Chris Redfield needs Jill or Barry accompaniment, and Deadpool, thought being of the Marvel Universe, needs a Cable/Domino link or a Taskmaster/Constrictor badguy angle.

Thor is cooler than Ironman.

But srsly we need some Kick Ass up in that character select screen

I like Thor, Ariek. He's a freaking god, after all! But then again, so is Ammy. Regardless, I can't wait for this game! :D

@HombreGato I read that each character is to have a conterpart in the opposite franchise - So Deadpool has Dante, Ryu has Wolverine, Iron Man and Morrigan etc etc. Seeming more and more the case, two "Gods" from each company now announced.

Amaterasu looks amazing moveset-wise. Just imagine what high level players will be able to do with her.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for Gene. In conjuction with Alfarin's comment, Genes' counterpart for Marvel could be Iron Fist. Now imagine that team-up/match-up...

Amaterasu seems to be a little too fast and low to the ground. I wonder how that will balance out.

It's a real shame that Capcom completely ditched Amaterasu in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom especially given the final boss. It's great to see her in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and get all this loving feedback from fans. Funny however, is how few gamers actually played Okami, all 99.9% of you.

I want to see some Shuma Gorath action next!

It looks like Amerterasu is switching between 3 weapon-types (shield, sword, beads) and three element-types for each weapon (fire, ice, lightening). That's easily the most complicated versus series character I've seen yet.

Praise be to Amaterasu,THAT is the proper way for a God(dess) to fight. +1000 faith.
As for the son of Odin,I thought that he would be as fast as the element that he commands. Step your game up,Mighty Thor or you're going to be mighty sore after all of the but whopping Chris Redwood and the Green Goliath are going to put on you. For Asgard!

Admittedly, I don't know much about the vs. Capcom series, but Amaterasu looks kinda broken. Her standard attacks are very fast, her Rosaries cover half the map, and while I don't know how it will come into play, she has a much lower stance than the rest of the cast.

Though she IS the god of all creation, so it would not surprise me if she was also among the best fighters.

Like I read somewhere before, I'm wondering if that slow down time move will be abused. It certainly does break the fast-paced flow of the matches, but who knows, see what will happen once it comes out. Definitely excited.

Makes sense, with the Thor movie and Okamiden coming out soon. Thinking about it, it would make a lot of sense to have Radd Spencer with Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 coming out. *hint hint*

The more I see for this game, the more I think, that if it doesn't have a cast of at least 100 from each side, there's going to be people upset about missing characters.

I'm one of the few people that played Okami and absolutely despised everything about it, so I'm not excited to see Amaterasu here at all. She's going to be annoying to fight because of her height.
Hcapt's Avatar - Comment posted on 07/24/2010 01:19

@ Slowpoke - I played Okami, liked it until I defeated the nine-headed dragon thing, became increasingly aggitated at finding out that each consecutive "final" boss was a trick boss, and tired of the art style and the game as a whole by the time I reached the end.

That said, I'm still excited about the Amaterasu addition more because wolves, god powers, and characters with small hit boxes are all awesome than because of the mediocre Okami, albeit I wouldn't want to face that combination.

Incidently, what's the control format for this game? Super Smash Bros. ruined most fighting games for me, so the control scheme is the single most important factor in whether I pick this game up.

@Hcapt

It's funny that you mentioned being agitated with the story structure, because I thought that was one of the coolest parts about the game. Not saying you're wrong for having a different opinion (obviously), I just thought it was interesting. I personally liked how the story kept expanding outward and the threats became increasingly global.

Is it just me, or do you hear Issuns voice when Amaterasu is fighting?

I think I heard 'Look at those hips!" at 1:15, which is definitely something Issun would say :P

Fuuuuuuu.... this game is rad! I had no idea that they could come up with such powerful attacks, but Thor and especially Amaterasu really kicked the butts of their opponents.

Amaterasu at his current size reminds me of Yoda for soul calibur 4 where only low hits are effective and most medium and high hits miss the character entirely. If this is true and the character is as fast and as powerfull as he appears then this addition might break the balance.

@E-Faust: Amaterasu is a female, but I totally agree with you ^^
