HELL YEAH TRON BONNE! Not surprising that she's in the game after the epic video from last week, but it's just awesome to see her in action in the game finally. On the Marvel side of things, X-23 joins and will hopefully play a lot different than Wolverine. This better not be some Mario/Dr. Mario bullsh*t from the Smash series, Capcom!

X-23 is a really really boring choice. I guess "Sexy Wolverine" was all they wanted.

Mario/Luigi did it first.

Or Ryu/Ken if you really want to talk about clones.

X-23 is such a lame character but at least she's not as bad as Dark Wolverine. She's definitely one of those "strong armed" by Marvel to be included in the game type characters. Despite her inclusion I'm pleased with the majority of the cast shown so far.

Hmm... maybe those leaked character lists weren't so inaccurate after all.

I mean, seriously - who the hell would have ever guessed X-23? May as well have brought Bone-Claw Wolverine back. I can't think of any other Marvel character who would could possibly bring less to the table.

I agree with X-23 being a boring choice, but the video makes it look like she may play for like Vega than Wolverine. That's a plus, right?

I'm actually rather happy they are bringing X-23 to the table. She's an interesting character, and I am look forward to seeing how she plays.

@DrRockso
True, her special moves aren't exactly taken straight from Wolverine. That's a plus, but... I found her gameplay video to be extremely boring. No where near as fun to watch as any of the other characters thus far.

Guess I should be thankful that there's FINALLY a woman on Marvel's side. It's been a total sausage fest thus far. Still a shame it couldn't have been a more interesting Marvel female.

And still mega man or phoenix wright. Tis a good day to be alive.

X-23...not true clone still does pretty much what Wolverine does but less powerful, a bit faster and is all black & red. And she has an invisible hyper...eh. Everything that's come out of TGS for this game is great though.

@DrRockso

How does she play like Vega at all? Gambit played like Vega if anything.

And yeah Phoenix Wright was ruled out, but not as DLC.

So everyone hates on X-23 because she's a female wolverine clone, and they want a lawyer in the game? Seriously? A NINTENDO DS LAWYER? And that's somehow more favorable than a chick with adamantium claws? What is the internet world coming to. Come on.

@Cainraw

Have you played a Phoenix Wright game? And eh technically he is from the GBA. Phoenix Wright would be awesome for countless reasons! He could drop fat OBJECTIONS! and Take That!'s at you. And don't say they couldn't have had him playable because of the game he's from. Nintendo made Captain Falcon into what he is in Smash Bros out of their asses. And Capcom put Norimaru into a past Marvel Versus game, who is just a caricature of some Japanese comedian.

And no one on this site cares about some grimdark chick dressed in black with claws that slashes red across the screen. Easily the most bland addition so far. OH BUT SHE WAS A PROSTITUTE! Ugh.

I might have missed this, but I was hoping that Mega Man would have made the cut. I can definitely settle for Tron Bonne though! :)

Usually I get more excited by the Marvel characters reveals but in this case... X-23 looks like a big no-no. A very boring, somewhat sexy no-no, but a no-no nonetheless.

@ Dan CiTi
Was Phoenix Wright really ruled out? Wasn't that for Tatsunoko vs Capcom not Marvel vs Capcom? Is there a link to this of some sort?

oh shit, they're bringing back Take You For A Ride? I'm sorry but that song has surpassed bad for me. It's actually gotten so terrible that it wrapped around the spectrum to good, took a nosedive back into bad just to scare me, then pulled back up and was flying high in awesometown again. I'm glad they're keeping that part of the legacy intact.

X-23 looks okay, not really spectacular though.

Also: Please Capcom, bring this to Wii. Pretty please with sugar on top? I bought and still play the crap out of Tatsunoko, so I believe I've done my part?
Do you need something else of me? Because I can do that

Still hoping Arthur to be in the game. I love Mega Man but he was one of the least played characters in my MvC2.

Servbot, on the other hand...

Was hoping I'd see her join the fray.

Hey...what the-- Anyone else think her one special looks a little like Guile's?

Being a fan of the character, I am happy that X-23 is included but saddened by their presentation of her (she's supposed to have little to no emotion with a cold calculative attitude because of how she was raised, not be all grrrr "you die now"). With mild bitching out of the way, does anyone else think that it would have made more sense to pair the Hulk with Tron Bonne and her big robotic suit and her many Servbots instead of Chris Redfield?

I'm cool with X-23, but I think I used Tron a grand total of three times across all the versions of MvC2 that I've had. Not to knock the character, I know she's a fan favorite and all.

I think x-23 looks fun to play, but I agree it's not too inspired of a choice. I'm hoping the rumor that emma frost/white queen will be a playable turns out to be true although I have heard that it was debunked. Or I'm still a sucker for Psylocke, although I know that's not going to happen.

@Dan CiTi

Your argument supporting Phoenix Wright makes no sense. Why would a lawyer in a GBA game be in a Marvel vs. Capcom fighting game? Does he fight in the courtroom? Would that even be fun to play? And X-23 would be fun to play, and no, I could give a shit that she's a"prostitute"(why you would throw that out there is weird,but anyway) so having an 8-bit lawyer throwing "Objections!" out there doesn't seem fun to me. Sorry.
