So, it's apparently a cross between Marvel 2 and Street Fighter 4, which sounds godawful. Color me wary. It would be a damn shame if they just ignored all the improvements that Tatsunoko made to that playstyle in favor of SF4's turtle-friendly gameplay.

I wouldn't read to much into that. It's not like the SF4 engine is biased toward turtling, it's just the way the game is balanced. If SF4 had guard crush and no ultras, it would be pure rushdown.

What worries me about this is the simple fact that 2.5D just doesn't work well for certain character designs, specifically ones that have morphing bodies like Anakaris, Morrigan, or Venom. It's not that these characters can't be done with 3D models, they would just be so much more work that the developers would likely drop them in favour something easier.
I remember reading an old interview with one of the SF4 devs back when they were still asking for input on which characters would be in Super SF4, and he said something to the effect that Twelve wouldn't even be considered because of how hard it would be to model in 3D.

While I'm happy I'm getting it at all, I will say I am worried as well. The thing with MvC2 is that it was just fast and I never saw SF4 as being as fast as MvC2 can be.

[kedawa]

I think that's more of a design decision than a technical limitation, although I really wish SF4 and SSF4 had adjustable gamespeed like the old games.

Kitty Pryde and Jessica Drew need to be in this. That is all.

[kedawa]

Deadpool needs to be in this just so he can dragon punch Kitty Pryde.

I just hope they keep the laughable bad jazz music from Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. I know people hate it but damn it if doesnt get stuck in your head!

[Dastardly Dylan]

Put Pheonix Wright and return Frank West back into the fighting series, and you got yourself a purchase, Capcom.

Seriously, everyone wants either the Ace Attorney or Dante (Devil May Cry) OR Leon/Chris (Resident Evil) in one of the many Capcom fighting games. As anticipated as this game is going to be they need to add at least one of these characters!

[kedawa]

I doubt it would happen, but I would LOVE to see Gene in a fighting game.
Don't ast like you don't like the ball busta.

[GarrettCRW]

Also, who I don't want to see in the game: Howard the Duck. (There's no telling what shit Queseda would sign on to now that Steve Gerber is dead).

Don't act like you don't like the ball busta.

I'd rather dragon kick your ass into the milky way. But yeah. Can't complain about the ball busta.

MVC3 trailer leaked:

http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=161ixqw&s=5

Looks like Chris Redfield, Morrigan, Ryu, Hulk, Iron Man, and Wolverine are all in for sure. Based on the silhouettes...Deadpool, Felicia, Captain America, Dr. Doom? I know they've already said that Magneto is in there too.

Based on the tiny bit of gameplay animation it looks visually like a more detailed Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

No gameplay footage yet, though the mention of the engine (MT Framework) is a little weird. The original Framework engine was designed to run Lost Planet, Dead Rising, and RE5. Nerdy digression.

If the game is half as fun as TvC, I'm in despite my utter inability to play any vs. game with any degree of competency. Here's hoping for the triumphant return of my go-to main man, Servbot.

Oh, yeah, while we're at it: CAPCOM! NO LOCKING CHARACTERS BEHIND FIFTY HOURS OF PLAYTIME GODDAMMIT.

[Arcade_Ness]

Damn this looks sick! I wonder if Batsu will make an appearance. Forget Super Street Fighter 4, this is where the real action is at.

Youtube link because tinypic is horrendous.

I need more to make a judgement. Please god, don't make it suck. That's all I ask.

[GrandAmChandler]

Tron Bonne or GTFO.

[Drexel923]

Well this better pan out better than it's looking. I'm not a huge MvC fan but tell me why they couldn't just keep with the high res 2D like in the Live/PSN versions of MvC2. Also reports from Kotaku are saying just above 30 characters...that is no where near enough. If they just added onto MvC 2 they could have had double that roster's size. BTW, I hate TvC and it sure looks similar to that. But again, this is all based on a teaser and day 1 info but I really don't have faith at this point.

AND AMAZING BARRELS OF THIS.

Part of the endearing part of MvC2 is it took pretty every character from the Marvel line of fighting games (Xmen COTA through MvC1) and pasted them into the game. Redoing them all in 3D just kinda ruins that.

As much as I'm excited for it, I am leary just because it's not 2D.

Yeah, but unless you want to wait like 3 years for the game, sprites are out. I don't see capcom going back to those just because of the cost involved vs. the return on the game. Especially since they'd likely have to go back and redo all the old sprites since they are so low res.

No, I think it was pretty obviously going to be done with 3D models. And come on, all this tatsunoko hate? Do you people even like video games?
