Rumor: Marvel Vs. Capcom 3's playable roster revealed? photo

[Update: Capcom's Wes Phillips has attempted to squash this one via his Twitter account, writing "These supposed "final" MvC3 character lists are inaccurate. No one has nailed it thus far. Stay tuned for the realness."]

I first saw this list a month or so back, but didn't think much of it then, mostly because it lacks the dread Dormammu. A month later, and we've seen quite a few of these characters confirmed for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, including Thor, Amateratu, Trish, and Super Skrull.

The rosters for Super Street Fighter 4 and Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom were leaked by similar sources, way before either game was released. Knowing that makes me more tempted to believe in this leak as well. Dormammu might not be on it, but that might be because he's an unplayable boss, like Apocolypse, Cyber-Akuma, Onslaught, Abyss, and Yami before him.

Hit the jump to see this spoiler-ific, rumored roster for yourself, and tell me what you think in the comments. If this list is legit, that will mean that we didn't do half bad on our guess post from forever ago.

Sorry Topher, no Hinata.

Huh. That's a little weird, considering this image:



Clearly depicts Phoenix Wright on the very right.

No Mega Man?

That's kinda odd...

Can't be right, because Dr. Strange should really be on that.

And Hinata would be awesome.

Ok, so this is TvC re-skinned with some new characters and all the Tatsunoko characters are now marvel now...

@ RIMoonlight- That looks awesome, but I suspect it's fake. I'm not sure why Capcom would bother with a silhouette if they're going to be that obvious about it. Also, the art style doesn't match.

But hey, I hope I'm wrong!

@ Everyone saying "no Mega Man?"- Zero and Tron Bonne might be enough to please Mega Man fans. My big question was "no Strider?"

Wait, I thought they said there would be no F4 characters in the game since they had Super Skrull, or am I going crazy?

Even still Arthur, Haggar and Wesker fuck yes.

I read somewhere that there would be no fantastic 4 characters because super skrull pretty much covers all of them. I think this list is pretty close but I expect a few different people.

Chris Redfield, AWESOME!!!

Kinda sad Jill isn't their (doesnt mean 100% shes out, right?) but she was in 2 so I'm fine with it.

Finally Chris and Ryu can duke it out! One of my dream fights.

Needs Strider.

I wish Captain Commando would be in it, but that's a very long shot.

Mike Haggar and Albert Wesker just made this must buy. I mean, it was already 'must buy' but this, this...it's MIKE fucking HAGGAR dammit.

I read somewhere that Emma Frost was officially confirmed to NOT be in the game. That leads me to believe that this roster is fake, but a great list nonetheless.

Why exactly are people running articles on old lists that have been proven false by the fact that a number of characters in this list have already been de-confirmed by Capcom - Mr. Fantastic (or any F4 member really), Emma Frost, Pheonix Wright, etc.

The only real point in getting too invested in a rumor like this is to bet with your friends as to who will actually be in it. But seriously, you need to find a girlfriend. Your parents are worried about you. Have you seen that new girl on 4? I think you should go for it.

Oh gad! Haggar.

Yeah, I'm not too convinced about this list, especially as RIMoonlight already pointed out Phoenix Wright's silhouette.

Though I would appreciate having my Shuma-Gorath back. Though one glaring omission in the above list...



Come on, he's PERFECT for this game. He's more of a cartoon than the entire Marvel roster put together.

Unfortunately, the list is not real as Emma Frost is confirmed to not be appearing in the game by a producer on the MVC3 team.

I wish Haggar IS in this game, that's the only thing I can see from this list.
Also, Phoenix may not be in the game, but one of the silhouettes in the first trailer was of Mia Fey.

Well Im a little pissed at the amount of clones if this is true... She Hulk and Hulk, Wolverine and X23, IronMan and War Machine.... Plus Zero without Megaman sound wrong... I really hope this isn't true, luckily i dont think it is.

List is a fake. It's already been confirmed that Daredevil, Emma Frost, Gene, Ghost Rider, Punisher, and Phoneix Wright will not be in the game. Sucks because Haggar and Taskmaster sound awesome to me.

36 characters? Super Street Fighter IV is already close to that number. Call it a shallow, pointless complaint if you want but that seems off. Not that there weren't worthless and palette swap characters in the 56 people in MvC2 but in this series I expect more characters than the "serious" fighting games.

If this is the real list, I am... content with it. But the apparent lack of VAVA or Captain Commando really grinds my gears.

I don't know if this roster is true or not, but I honestly hope Taskmaster is in this game. He would be perfect for a fighting game.

Tron Bonne AND Zero, but no Mega Man? Chris and Albert, but no Jill? Hmmm, I hope it's just a rumor. I really do hope Arthur, Frank West, and Nathan are official though

Mr. Fantastic was already confirmed to NOT be in, right? Also, Tron Bonne appears in the background of one of the stages, which tells me she won't be in.

Some of this list is good, but then we have characters like Akuma and X23 taking up space as obvious clone characters of characters already in. I just hope that Haggar, Arthur and Hsien-Ko make it in. It'd totally rock of team of Felicia, Haggar and Arthur, and I've always wanted to see Hsien-Ko in MvC.

Oh yeah, and I'd rather see Akira than Hinata, if they include a Rival Schools character. I mean, Hinata is cool, but Akira could be able to transform mid-battle into her 'Armored' version with the helmet. That would seem to fit the Marvel vs Capcom universe very well.

Speaking of transformations, they should bring back Ryu's ability to transform into Ken, Akuma and Dan. It would make him more interesting, shut up all the die-hard non-Ryu Shotoclone fans, and leave plenty of space open for INTERESTING Capcom character to join the fray.

I swear I remember them saying that no Fantastic 4 members could be in the game due to copyright issues.

Pbht, they put in Nathan Spencer with his terrible remake so fresh in our memories but give the cold shoulder to the Phoenix Wright series. Bull S#it.

This list sounds like BS. I don't think Mr. Fantastic will be in the game with Super Skrull. I highly doubt Juggernaut will be in the game. And Shuma-Gorath hasn't been relevant in over 10 years. I smell BS!
