First details on Marvel vs. Capcom 3 spring forth photo

The latest issue of Game Informer has been quite, uhhh, informative. Not only did the mag bring us details on LittleBigPlanet 2, but it also revealed our first details on Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Some of you may be a bit disappointed with what is about to come, some of you may be elated.

The big news is that MvC3 is going to play a lot like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and by a lot I mean it's pretty much using the same simplified scheme that TvC uses. However, things like Hyper Combo cancels, Snapbacks and assists will all still be present in the game. The game will also include simplified launch attacks that will be triggered by an "Exchange Button," and can be countered by the opponent guessing the correct exchange move executed.

Aside from this possibly divisive bit of information we have confirmation (in some cases double confirmation) that The Hulk, Chris Redfield, Iron Man, Dante, Captain America, Felicia, Morrigan, Wolverine and Deadpool are all in the game. Seems that Chris Redfield will be bringing along his shotgun and shock stick from Resident Evil 5 while Deadpool will be breaking the fourth wall aplenty with attacks like beating his opponent with his health bar. I love Deadpool.

It feels odd that it took this long for Dante to finally appear in a fighting game. Also, Deadpool, that's neat.

I don't mind these additions or changes, but I just play mvc2 for fun, so purists and the like may feel differently.

If I can't use a triple-Dan Hyper Combo cancel special I'll be sad. Favorite MVC2 thing, ever.

Looking good, though. Still holding out for a Mega Man representative that ISN'T Mega Man or Roll. Or Servbot though he has awesome chip damage with his HCs.

OMFG DANTE IS IN THE GAME BONER GET YAY!

I had a feeling that it would have the same simple system as TvC. If I had to guess, it's to make the balancing process easier. Also, Air Dashing is a plus. ALSO DANTE.

And now to go to MvC forums and see "MvCIII isn't tournment quality so I won't play it".

Flash forward a year at MvC parties where everyone says they'll play MvCII and instead everyone is playing MvCIII.

I preferred TvC to MvC 2 in a lot of ways. I liked that the combos were simplified beyond reason as MvC 2 seemed far too complex for a game that relied so heavily on quick combos and character switches. This means I may actually be decent at 3.

I doubt that Capcom would reveal the additions to the character lineup without at least having portraits in the MvC3 style. Most notably, the Captain America on the Character Bios page is his MvC2 portrait. The characters match the silhouettes, but I'm not believing anything till there's in-game footage.

I imagine it will be hard not to include Thor, what with the upcoming movie and all. But you know what MvC3 really needs? Volstagg.

Dammit, Capcom, I bought Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and now you're obsoleting me with your Marvel 3 nonsense.

For the record, I consider TvC a VASTLY superior game to MvC2 in almost every way. Balance was actually legit, for once, and the characters were still varied. Also, the GameInformer link makes it sound as though TvC *doesn't* have Hyper Cancels, Snapbacks, and assists, even though it does.

Hopefully, MvC3 will pull it off, too, even though I don't look forward to everyone hating my favorite Capcom VS fighter...

Ugh, that article is pretty damn sloppy. They really used Felicia's portrait from Cross Edge, Dante's from DMC3, Deadpool from the comics and Captain America's from MvC2? Why couldn't they get some character art from Capcom? That's kinda disappointing, I want to see them in action. Also, I'm praying that the MT framework doesn't mess up Felicia's face like it did Morrigan's. "p

@TheCleaningGuy
Yeah, I haven't seen any female characters make the transition very well, honestly.

Another thing I'm worried about with Felicia (she's always been my main) is how they're going to handle her move set. Her moves are QCF+P (Rolling Buckler), QCF+K (Sand Splash), DP+P (Cat Spike), DP+K (Delta Kick), QCF+2P (Dancing Flash) and QCF+2K (Hyper Sand Splash). If they are getting rid of P & K buttons and using just a Light/Medium/Fierce set-up like TvC, that means they'll have to give her new inputs for at least half of her moves... and that could mess her up.

Oh god, Deadpool in MvC3 just sounds better and better the more I hear the news. I'm personally hoping for little touches like verbally announcing his button inputs or talking smack about various other characters and the stupid stuff that has happened to them. Just imagine Deadpool saying, "You know Chris, punching that boulder? Yeah, really jumped the shark with that one." in the middle of a fight.

Or just inevitably putting Cable and Deadpool together into a team everytime I play, regardless of how tactically sound that is. That's going to be awesome.

I thought Capcom said the two games WOULDN'T be the same... Oh well, I guess.

I'm starting to feel guilty for wanting this more than Tatsunoko now. I haven't picked Tatsunoko up yet, and this is making me just want to skip over every fighter until this comes out. I feel guilty for not supporting a game I wanted in the US so badly. :(

Oh for fucks sake Capcom!!!!!!What the helll! I want a fucking street fighter vs game not that 3 button oversimplified control scheme! UGH!!!! This has seriously made me stop even anticipating this game. What the hell. Why have all the fighters sucked this generation. Capcom, I want both my punches and kicks! Not low, medium and high "attack"! WTF!!?!?!!?!!?

I am seriously pissed. No one even likes playing Tats vs Cap because the control scheme is too fucking easy and since there is barely any strategy it is fun for all of 2 seconds. We all end up playing Marvel 1 or 2.

What a fucking year man.

I'm still wondering if they'll bring over the baroque cancels and combo breakers (yeah they were called megacrushes, but come on) from TvC.

I would love if they brought over the combo breakers, but I'd like for the baroques to stay in TvC so it would give that game a distinct feeling. I guess I'll have to wait till E3 for more details.

@the7k Eesh, I didn't even think about that. That could be REALLY messed up. Although, so far, we don't really know much of anything, hopefully they stick with punches and kicks, but the addition of Guilty Gear's Dust button kinda worries me...
Still, totally hyped!

who cares? really, if you've played one 2-d fighting game, you've essentially played them all....the last good "fighting" game I played, that put a new twist on the genre was Dissidia.....other than that....mcv 1-3, tekken, ssfiv (which is a waste of money, especially if you already have sfiv) etc. are all the same game with different characters..... ;)

Beating people with health bars is a confirmed sale. The only thing better would be to give him a super that allows him to switch health bars with his opponent.
