Marvel vs Capcom 3

A new versus game?

Yes, after many, many years, Capcom and Marvel have once again teamed up for a dream match of epic proportions.

New Game Play Mechanics

The new game sounds like a hybrid of Tatsunoko and MvC2. Here are the features so far:


- Uses an altered version of Tatsunoko's button layout, with Light, Medium, Hard, Exchange, and Partner buttons.
- Same assist system from MvsC2, but the character select now has descriptions of the assists.
- New Exchange button for Aerial Tag Combos
- A new “Baroque” type cancel mode dubbed X-Factor; increases damage and defense for a short while.
- New character roster probably totaling over 30 fighters
- Advancing Guard, DHC, Triple HC, Snap back, and Guard Tag (can't remember name) systems from TvsC and MvsC2 are back

So who's confirmed so far?
Marvel
-Captain America
-The Hulk
-Iron Man
-Wolverine
-Dead Pool
-Super Skrull
-Thor
-Dr. Doom
-Doramamu
-Spider-man
-X-23
-M.O.D.O.K.
-Magneto

Capcom
-Ryu
-Morrigan
-Felicia
-Chris Redfield
-Dante
-Trish
-Amaterasu
-Chun-li
-Viewtiful Joe
-Wesker
-Tron Bonne
-Arthur
-Rad Spencer

The Exchange Button is now your all purpose launcher attack. It also knocks people out of the air during air combos.
Pressing Exchange and Down or Forward while during an air combo will call in your partner to continue with an Aerial Tag Combo.
If you can guess correctly which direction plus Exchange combination they push, you can interrupt their tag combo with one of your own.
This takes no super bar.

The X-Factor system allows you to mount comebacks. Right now, the X-Factor turns your characters health bars red and slowly drains. All of your characters seem to be under the effects of X-Factor. By pressing both partner buttons, you can activate the X-Factor, which increases your Offense and Defense abilities for a short time.
This also acts as a Roman Cancel type move, allowing you to stop whatever move you were doing and start up another. This allows you to combo two Hyper Combos together for awesome damage.


So far, no release date is set, but the game will be for X-Box 360 and Playstation 3.

    They said about 1/3rd of the characters will be ones that weren't in MvC2, and that there are about 30 characters. That would make about 10 all-new characters, give or take a few, and we've seen 7 of those so far. At this point I'd expect the next several announcements to be mostly confirming returning characters.

    I view Super Skrull kind of as the ability to put in the Fantastic 4 without having to do four separate characters. Saves time and room for more guys.

    Or Dhalsim from the look of it seeing as a bunch of his moves so far are flame based or stretchy based. Not seeing much Grimm or Sue-based powers yet to Super Skrull.

    Meh. I don't know.

    I would say Nero would have brought a far more interesting playstyle than Trish.

    Trish looks pretty bland by all accounts.

    Yea Ryu having Akuma's dive kick in one of the videos seems to point to Akuma not being in. To me so far super skrull seems like the coolest new character play wise.

    I wonder if Amaterasu's unusually squat hitbox is going to limit your options against her.

    Probably will. But they'll probably mitigate it by giving her a lower defense.

    I doubt it will have much with her being female as her hitbox. I mean, obvious Capcom sexism in their other games aside.

    If that's the case that is.

    Guys, I'm really interested in playing Amaterasu in this game.

    If I keep up the same trend as other fighting games I've played, this means she will be absolutely terrible in MvC3. But she'll be one of the better characters in the sequel.

    From Eventhubs:
    Ryota Niitsuma confirmed that these characters will NOT be in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Phoenix Wright, Emma Frost, Daredevil, Gene from God Hand, Ghost Rider and Punisher.
    The 'Take You For a Ride' song might be returning. It's a popular tune and they did a few new arrangements on it, so we'll see if it ends up in the game.

    Well no Gene, that sucks.

    On the other hand I'm not a big fan of the Punisher and Ghost Rider. So that's two slots those characters can't take.

    On the other other hand, a Ghost Rider that actually used his motorcycle and wasn't just "look I've got chains and a flaming skull head" might make an interesting fighting game character.

    Edit: They haven't ruled out Rad Spencer and Strider Hiryu yet so I've still got a couple characters on my Capcom wish list. Oh and Guile, but I don't see that happening.

    Bayonetta wasn't published by Capcom.

    Just made by the guy who used to work at Capcom.

    So unless he called them up and asked for her to be in the game, and they agreed, I doubt you'll see her.
