TGS: Spider-Man and Wesker in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 photo

Capcom just announced that Wesker and Spider-Man are going to be in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. Just as I get home from a day's worth of scouring the TGS show floor for hot videogame news, I check the world of the wide web to find that one of the biggest stories of the day has been out and about on the Internet for hours. Yeah, I'm bitter.

Still, I'm excited about the news. Wiskers Wesker has been near the top of my "most wanted in a fighting game" list for a long time. I can't wait to see how he plays. Also, including X-23 and Tron Bonne, that's four more characters that fall in alignment of the rumored Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 full roster that I posted a while back. That means that Haggar might really be in the game.

I'm so going to take you for a mustache ride. Thanks, epic-koryuken!

Awesome. Got my copy on pre-order and I am moist with anticipation.

The longer they don't announce mega man and phoenix wright the happier I become.

If the leaked list is real, I would be seriously disappointed. No Cyclops? No Jin? No Strider? Just relatively obscure characters from both sides? Oh well, at least Spider-man is still here. And Dante of course.

I'm happy that in MvC 3 the roster is very varied. In MvC 2 Half the cast was Street Fighter and X-men.

CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSS !!!!! I'm sorry, but someone had to do it. And that must be Wesker's battle quote when the other player has Chris Redfield on their team. And Spidey looks just as amazing as I remember him being in Marvel 2. Mysetrio and/or Green Goblin must be in this (Got nothing against Venom, just some change would be nice)

Spider-Man, Dante... Just need Leon S. Kennedy, but with both Chris and Wesker representin' Resident Evil, things are a bit saturated.

Oh well, there's future MvC3 DLC or MvC4 to round out my dream team.

The rumored list can't be right because some of those characters have been confirmed NOT to be in the game. Im cool with whoever we get though. It would make me happy though if Strider and Venom make it in.

@ wickedsickzombie- I don't know man, so far, the list has been spot on. You can't really trust that "de-confirmation" stuff. DMvC3's developers are never going to say "Oh yeah, that leaked list of MvC3 characters? It's totally spot on!" They'll want to throw you as many curveballs if they can, and they aren't above lying.

Joan Reno from onimusha 3. He'll kick everyone else's ass on the roster.

Nice additions, took them long enough to confirm Spidey. Wesker looks cool also, but I'm no Resident Evil fan so I don't care for him to much.

Also that list is wrong. Emma Frost and Mr. Fantastic were unconfirmed and Dormammu isn't on the list.

If the leaked list is mostly accurate (Even if some of the characters have been deconfirmed, it's possible they were at least planned but bitch-slapped by Marvel or someone else at Capcom), I have Hsien-Ko, Arthur and Haggar to gleefully look forward.

And I'll have She-Hulk, Warmachine, Akuma, and Chuck/Frank (It's okay to have one, but both is unnecessary) to leave me scratching my head wondering what the hell they're thinking,

Honestly, when characters like Trish, X-23 and other characters that nobody wanted from the leaked list show up as confirmed, it all but confirms that the leaked list was, at least at one point, THE list.

wolverine, x-23, captain america, thor, frank west, christ redfield, wesker, spiderman, hulk, dante, and deadpool alone guarentees this is the best fighting roster EVER in a game.

If that list is accurate and capcom have been lying, cancelling my pre-order.

I don't mind half denials, but saying somethings not in for sure when it is makes it a load of crap.

Might as well be Activision if they're not above lying.

God damn, Mega Man better be in it. I just don't get why they wouldn't put him in it. It'd be like Smash Brothers without Mario....

@Darkcloud723

But there's "we don't comment on rumors" as a denial and "these characters are not in the game".

I personally could care less about spiderman. To me, the game already has too many characters recycled from previous games. I understand you can't have a marvel game without wolvey, spidey, hulk, and cap, but come on, at least give them dynamic new move sets so I don't feel like I'm playing the same character I did in arcades over 10 years ago in MVC1.

On the other hand, Wesker looks totally sick, I only wish he had his pimped out gun from mercenaries mode in RE4.

Kinda, but you full roster was already a little debunked by the fact that there will be none of the fantastic 4 in the game. No Mr. Fantastic = your list was wrong.

Wesker seems pretty cool, and I'm not really surprised by Spider-Man, since he's one of Marvel's biggest properties (like having a DC game and not having Batman and Superman as playable characters). So far though, this roster is kind of cool and disappointing. On one hand, I'm happy to see new characters like Super Skrull, Deadpool, and Dante, but on the other some characters are either obvious (OMG Chun-Li and Captain America), or entirely lame like Thor.

I don't maybe the characters remaining being confirmed will be awesome, but right now I'm feeling a little unsure.

I wish people would forget that god awful leaked list ever existed. Please.

So far I love the roster besides X-23, she's just boring. Gameplay wise she isn't so exciting (her moves look cool) and character design wise she is not interesting, her voice acting I've heard from the 5ish videos is pretty flat and forgettable. I don't think her story will really come across unless you see her ending, and playing single player is not what this game is about at all. It's not something I will be doing more than maybe once, out of the hundreds and hundreds that will spent playing this game. Where as someone like Deadpool, Dante, Ammy, Thor, Capt. America, Tron has a lot of their personality come through in their gameplay already.

Wow, Wesker looks DAMN cool! Same goes for Spidey.

One thing I will point out is that the rumored list you link to is fake. It has Mr. Fantastic and Emma Frost, who were both deconfirmed, and is lacking Dormammu.

@epic-koryuken: no, but there's a first time for everything and considering a Metroid game just got a 6.5 and Duke Nukem Forever has a (real) release date i'd believe in just about anything right now, also, like i said before there's been plenty of sings lately that point to hell having frozen:



I still check my window every now and then to see if a pig flies by though.
