I think this is a Photoshop (because of the Namco x Capcom reasons stated above) , but if there was an old character that was destined for DLC, it would be Strider.
I understand your no need to pay for characters in a new game that you can play as in another game you already own.
I guess I am one of those suckers who will pay for a character over and over again just to see his/her likeness in a game...and be able to use them too. It's like they took a shower and got a fresh look going on!
C'mon guys, you're better than this.
This is photoshopped.
First of all, that image of Strider is taken directly from this official image: http://www.fightersgeneration.com/newspics/sab/strider-namco.jpg
The person who did the photoshop just took Strider's right knee and made it look like his left to try to make it look real.
Then he did some shading magic, and wa-la, and image that fooled a lot of people.
Second, while I admit Frank West is a possibility for DLC, the fact is Capcom is only making DLC in pairs of Marvel/Capcom.
So if Frank West was being made, there would be a new Marvel character to accompany him.
Lastly, Strider will never be in MvC3 as Capcom cannot get the rights back to include him in the game. Ever.
So this image is faker than fake, it's fikkety-fake.
But Bigshark is right, I'm just reiterating what he said as it's clearly a photoshop job, I stake my life on it.
Like I said in the actual post, "I'm so far from being convinced that this pic is legit.", but I've also learned to not be too sure of anything in this crazy business of ours.
Indeed I did. That post was meantfor mean mister mustard. I mixed up the names when I hastilly posted before heading off.
If you're taking secret pictures of unrevealed characters, why not take pictures of the fucking character model? Why would you just get the lifebars?
ummm no Capcom owns the "Strider" series. even Kouichi "Isuke" Yotsui the series creator mentions it in an interview:
http://lscmainframe.topcities.com/features/kyotsui.html
he says if capcom were to make a new game he'd be happy to join if he's given an opportunity.
though he's currently working on Moon Diver(formerly known as Necromachina) at least it can quench our thirst before a new Strider(if) comes out. speaking of Strider i kinda want more 2D revival games(kinda like Bionic Commando Rearmed) games like Metal Slug, Contra(although Hard Corps looks promising still i want a Contra game),Castlevania(HOD is good but i want a DOS or SOTN game like) a new Megaman(in the same vien as X and Zero Series), and so on.
looks like iv'e been off topic now. would love to see Strider and Frank personally but i kinda wanted them to be save on another Versus game. maybe Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2? the Marvel series weren't really that good to be honest(except for MVC1 now that's how you make a corssover game)
Just a note about your argument regarding having character's entire names under the life bars. In TVC, Frank's entire name is under the lifebar, same with Strider in MvC2. So you argument is completely unfounded.
can i get a captain commando?
"Two reasons why this is fake.
First of all, it should not say their full names. It should simply be Frank and Strider. You don't see Albert Wesker, Chris Redfield, Nathan Spencer and Mike Haggar when you play as them."
Have you not played Tatsunoko vs Capcom? Everyone was listed by thier first name with the exception of Frank West. MvC3 can just follow the same scheme.
Because there are more Striders beside Hiryu, it was just him who was chosen for MvC and MvC2.
So reading "Strider Hiryu" is completely correct there, I'm not so sure about Frank though, I do agree it should just say "Frank" like every other character since there are no other characters named like him in MvC3; hence names like "Chris", "Albert", "Spencer" and "Jill".
