NOTE: This is Part 2 where I'm going to analyze Capcom's side. You can check out Part 1 with Marvel HERE.!

I'm basing all of my analysis off of these three pices of art:

What I'll call "logo silhouettes"...


Shinkiro's poster...


& the "group shot"



So two things to keep in mind.

1. It's pretty obvious the characters are split between their respective companies behind the logos.
2. All of the characters in the logo silhouettes are the same characters that appear in silhouette on Shinkiro's poster.

Now for Capcom...



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Who I think it is: Felicia

Visual Cues: It's hard to tell from the low posture from the logo silhouette but you can make her out a lot more clearly from the group shot. You can clearly make out the tail, big clawed feet, and hair curl of Felicia. Shinkiro's poster clinches it with the fanged profile and tassles.





Why: Felicia has been a mainstay of the Vs games and a fan favorite. Her move set makes her unique enough to keep her around even though Morrigan is already filling up the Darkstalkers quota.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Who I think it is: Frank West

Visual Cues: The pretty normal outfit from the logo silhouette makes it kind of vague but the pose from Shinkiro's poster is completely Frank West.





Why: Frank West was in Tatsunoko Vs Capcom and was pretty popular there with his crazy ass move set. His popularity in general in the West makes him a good choice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Who I think it is: Trish (Devil May Cry)

Visual Cues: This is personally the hardest one to figure out but there are two clues. The first is that you can clearly make out that she's wearing high heels in the logo silhouette. The other is her arm in Shinkiro's poster. You can make out that she's wearing an arm guard of some sort that is pretty close to Trish. The long hair helps the theory as well.





Why: To tell you the truth, I don't know why they'd include her. That's why this is the one choice I'm not completely confident about. Dante is already representing Devil May Cry (look below) and I can't think that her possible move set could be anything too interesting. Maybe they want her to fill in a fast, up close, hand to hand role. Not too sure.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Who I think it is: Chun Li

Visual Cues: Come on. The hair buns. The tassles coming down from them. The puffy shoulders. It's pretty obvious.





Why: Dem thighs that's why.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Who I think it is: Dante

Visual Cues: The logo silhouette has led people to speculate that this could be Wesker or Rad Spencer but that coat is too long to be Rad and based on the direction the feet are planted I think what's being mistaken as an outline for sunglasses is actually the character's ear. Plus, the Shinkiro poster clearly shows a sword hilt visually consistent with Dante's. I would have said it was a toss up between Nero and Dante at this point but the hilt of Nero's sword is completely different (Nero's is more like the handle/hand brake of a motorcycle).





Why: Because everything about Dante SCREAMS to be in a fighting game. Really, it's amazing it took them this long to put him in one. He's one of Capcom's most recognizable stars and translates extremely well in to this genre.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Thoughts:
One thing I've noticed that I haven't really heard anyone else mention is the darker tone of this edition. Look how much black is in the character models. Notice how the trailer happens entirely at night. Seth Killian mentioned that Chris Redfield was indicative of the kind of characters you'll see from Capcom's side and this new emphasis on story all leads me to believe that some of the goofier/kiddy/wierdly proportioned characters are going to be left out.

By this, I mean don't think we're going to see characters like Viewtiful Joe, Servbot, or Tron Bonne show up. They can't not have Mega Man, so maybe they'll use the X version but I think that's as far as they'll go. I hope I'm wrong about that route though since I don't want to see their choices limited and part of the Vs series charm was how over the top weird and crazy it can get (plus I really want to see Viewtiful Joe in this). We'll see.

High quality JOURNALISM!
Think you're right about Frank. Seth just told us that Capcom Japan wants him in pretty much everything they make that's intended to appeal to the West.

Get it? "WEST"?

Also, he seemed to think that the potential for weird/funny characters in MvC3 is still definitely there. So here's hoping!
That's good to know! I love the the mash up of crazy stuff.
I really hope that they do put X in it and give him the armor upgrades as supers. And maybe throw in hadoken as a special. Haha. Really cant wait for this game, but who can? +1
they need phoenix wright in here.
If they sart hinting to MegamanLegends again (aka Tron Bonne, etc) I hope it MEANS something.
DEM THIGHS!
Omg Dante ftw

I really wanted Nero since the arm wouldve made for some good ultras
I'm supremely happy that Felicia is there, as she was my main in MvC2 and Vampire Savior. I was really afraid they wouldn't put her in, actually, considering nobody even knows what the hell Darkstalkers is.
Well, Felicia and Chun-Li's unique features makes them pretty much dead give aways as silhouettes.

As for the other characters, I think Dante is a sure bet. He was one of the most highly requested characters back when TvC was announced to be adding new fighters, and those poses are definitely indicative of his swagger. Judging by the outline, I'd say it'll be his DMC4 character model in the game.

Though Frank West fits the other dude to the button, I'm putting my money on BC:Rearmed style Rad Spencer.



Notice how the left arm is conspicuously out of view in the poster and logo shot... though granted that it's visible in in the group shot. But the word out on the streets says that the character art in that shot are actually the in game models for the game.

[urlhttp://iplaywinner.com/news/2010/4/20/surprise-marvel-vs-capcom-3-character-art-actually-in-game-m.html[/url]

And if you look next to him you can see that Dante's silhouette next to him is mirrored. If you remember back to SF4, Vega's claw was made to switch hands for gameplay reasons, and the same happened to Megaman Volnutt with his weapon switching, so logically the same rule would apply to Rad Spence. Probably a good guess seeing as Rearmed 2 is also coming down the pipe line.

As for the girl, I'm just drawing blanks. Trish seems like an odd choice, but she seems to be the most likely as of right now.
Near rock solid confirmations of Dante and Frank West? I CAME!


@MatCD

As much as I'd fangasm over Spencer being in the game, I don't know how Capcom feels about Bionic Commando at this point. I mean regardless of Rearmed or even Rearmed 2, the main 3d revision was a huge flop (Even though I kinda enjoyed the game regardless of the few flaws it had). So yeah, while I'd fap buckets over him being announced, I'm trying to keep my hopes from being crushed.

Then again... Who expected Viewtiful Joe in Tatsunoko vs Capcom? I mean Capcom pretty much killed Clover off and threw the series into a pit. So anything is possible. I certainly think Spencer would fit in with the other Capcom heroes.
HarhAR!!
Ur a genius my boy!
Dante!!!!!!! :)
@MatCD

I really don't think that's Rad mainly because of the Shinkiro poster but I also REALLY hope Rad Spencer makes it in. His move set would be really cool.
cool inspection at its best :D
They are probably including Trish since they are using the MT Framework which is the same as DMC 4.
I just got journalism'd into hype. I hope X doesn't make it, vanilla Megaman is the best; also, they should add Rad and some Monster Hunter dude, maybe with the Great Sword because it looks like MH's "main" weapon and some items...
Oh, and they need to bring back the assist only characters from MvC1, that way we could have Phoenix Wright, Otis and a whole lot of crazy non-combat characters.
@ iron dragon
The PS360 Bionic Commando was pretty good IMO.
(( Best ""FLOP"" of this generation. Hands Down. ))

@ Matt
Anyways the inclusion of Spencer would be awesome nonetheless! Do Want NOA!
I've been hearing rumors of Gene from God Hand being in the game based on the silhouettes, but I'm not sure if they're true. Great job with the speculation articles!
Let me second that emotion of "Dem Thighs"!
This game will be awesome, I looke forward to it.
Frank and Dantea are cool and all, but what I really want is a Breath of Fire character.

Katt, Rei, or one of the Black-magic Ninas could TOTALLY work in a game like this, and Capcom keeps dropping the ball!
This is very good guessing. Props for your attention to detail in this two part series.
FELICIA UP IN THIS
I really really want rad Spenser to be in it.
Fapped for DEM THIGHS
I really don't think the dark trailer means anything. The art style looks exactly like Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, so I bet we will see Frank, Viewtiful Joe and maybe even the Lost Planet robot.
@BS3 Owner

When I say flop I mean it sold terribly. I liked the game itself.

@theredpepperofdoom

Damn it. Now I'm going to be disappointed if Gene isn't in... Though we all know Capcom doesn't give a crap about God Hand as a franchise. :(
Let me be the third the motion of "Dem Thighs"

So beautiful
I would have included Lady over Trish any day, i'd wish for both to be there but i'll admit that's highly unlikely.
SPECULISM!
I hope to god Trish is not in this game, and that they don't use the awful DMC3 design Dante(even if that is my favorite DMC game by far) and use the DMC4 one.
Needs more Phoenix Wright.
Well Frank's only in MvC3 cause he's covered wars y'know.
new response is old i'm so late to the party but aye seems to be head on
You've been spot on with these predictions GA! Any idea on the new silhouettes that were shown during Comic-Con?
