Taskmaster:Awesome. Just awesome.
hopefully these characters either make it DLC or the next Tatsunoko VS game.
... because games used to do this thing where you had to earn characters by playing it. Or you find a cheat code. Either one works out well enough.
Zero isn't Mega Man by a long shot. Zero uses a sword. Mega Man uses his blaster. I don't really know how much more obvious I can make this. I'd accept MMX, MMV from MML, or MM from TOS.
You're an idiot to say that not including a specific character (who's guaranteed to be in, its just Capcom milking the shit out of your hype.) Will not sale for you day one. Megaman isn't the golden boy of the VS. Series. Ryu and Akuma are. Why do you think that Ryu has been in every single VS game? Because he's a STREET FIGHTER. It makes sense. Akuma is in because he started the VS. Series by being a guest character in Xmen: COTA. It isn't 'Megaman and Capcom
vs Marvel.' Its just ignorant Megaman fans pestering capcom to make sure he's in. JUST SHUT UP AND WAIT.
If he's not in, then man up and use Zero or Arthur.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me an idiot because I have different preferences than you.
As for a proper response, first off, Ryu is not the golden boy of the series. He's the golden boy of Street Fighter, as you, yourself, just stated. If I really need to play a fighting game with Ryu in it, I have about a dozen lying around waiting to be played, including three with the current SF4 engine (SF4, SSF4, TvC). Generally speaking, I don't know that there is a "golden boy" to the MvC series. However, MM is typically seen as the closest Capcom has to a mascot character. He is damn near the Mario of Capcom. Not having him in this game would be like not having Mario in SSBB. That's my issue. I understand that MM is not typically a fighting game character.. but then again neither are THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE ROSTER!
Second, yes, I am pestering to make sure MM is in it. I don't really see what your argument is here. I want him to be in it. You tell me that I'm just saying stuff because I want him in it. I agree with you. Where's the confusion?
Third, I do plan to wait. Specifically, I'll wait until MM is part of the game before purchasing. I'm guessing that's not what you meant, but I don't see how I could interpret that to mean "just shut up, wait, and buy MvC3 on day one regardless." That's just ridiculous, given my obvious preference for MM to be in the game.
Fourth, Zero and Arthur are not Mega Man. Zero uses a blade, for Christ's sake. I mean, that might be the most basic division between video game characters: range vs. melee. Zero is melee. MM is range. It's not rocket science. Arthur is hardly a palette swap for MM either, even if he does have projectiles. By the same token, I may as well use any ranged character.... Given the large differences between ranged characters, again, this doesn't make sense.
Fifth and finally, I really don't know where you come off complaining to me. I want MM in the game. I don't want the game without MM. Why would I buy a game day one if it didn't have what I wanted? What kind of crazy world is this? I have limited gaming dollars. This game interests me, but I already have a lot of fighting games. Having MM would put this game over the top. However, until that happens, this game is NOT a day one purchase for me. How am I being crazy?
Let's say you love Wendy's chicken sandwiches, but then the local Wendy's stopped selling chicken. How would you respond if someone told you to shut up, man up, and just order a hamburger? Personally, I'd be surprised at that person's audacity, I'd complain to Wendy's that I want chicken, then I'd stop eating there until they started selling WHAT I WANT again. How is this irrational?
You guys can buy it. Go ahead. I hope you love it. I just won't be joining you.
Taskmaster looks fun. Akuma looks like a replacement for Ryu. I'm pretty damn satisfied with the roster thus far, actually - especially if Hsien-Ko makes it.
Ryu is apparently more of a golden boy than Mega Man, because he has been in every single proper "VS" crossover game since the series' inception.
It's fine to not prefer the game because Mega Man is in it, but to claim he is "vital and a major part of the VS series" is incorrect, I think. He isn't even in any other Versus games, as opposed to Storm, Magneto, Shuma Gorath, Sabretooth, etc etc.
Really, of the full set of games where MM could be a character, MM was in all three (including MMV, which is reasonable).
"It's fine to not prefer the game because Mega Man is in it." - Finally, someone is allowing me to have an opinion! Incredible!

MvC/TvC is very different. In TvC, 3 out of 13 are SF. In MvC, only 3/11 are SF. In MvC 2, which has the highest ratio, 12 of 28 are SF. Heck, thus far, only 4 of the MvC 3 characters are from SF. To be honest, in terms of character selection, you can't really conflate the SF vs. series and the SNK vs. series with the MvC/TvC series.
By comparison, MvC had 2 MM characters (1 less than SF), TvC had 2 MM characters (1 less than SF), and MvC 2 had 4 MM characters (a lot less, but still a lot of characters). All three had MM, including MMV as a MM.
Personally, I play Mags, Doom, Cable. You lose the second I knock your first character out. You can call me exploitative. I call it playing to win.
well maybe once or twice and i play this game online about ten hours a week.
why? he's useless.
his projectiles suck
his supers are way easy to counter
megamans melee attacks deal a lot more damage than anything.
the devs decided to make zero have flashy melee attacks.
one of you that is crying find me on ps3 and play me with your megaman team
psn id- rawrrissey
Now we wait for Hsein-Ko and dat mango sentinel.
To me, it's not about competitive play with Mega Man. It's like I personally am a big fan of Mega Man, and that would be a big selling point for me. Without him.. well.. I have SF 4 on PC, SSF 4 on PS3, BlazBlue, TvC, and all the classic games, MvC 2 included.
