The MVC 3 creator said in a interview on x play that the roster will be a least 30, but hopes to get more than 30 on the roster before the release date. All I have to say to that is if it is 30 to start with will anybody who was in mvc 2 not show up in the release of it since they are adding new fighters to it and if so those from mvc 2 that don't make the release should be in the first updated.
