Spider-woman isn't from the spider-man universe (OR SO I'VE HEARD), yet they still use the spider-man logo.

They chose not to include any more darkstalkers characters because their animations too up a lot of memory.  Venom?  Shuma?  They're up there with the rest of the darkstalkers cast.

Oh, and heres a disconfirmation list:

Memory? Really? Does it have to store a different mesh for each deformation you think?
Still, that seems really weird when there can only be 6 different characters playing at a time...Those must be some super polygon heavy  models.


No B.B hood is lame, guess I'll have to wait for Super MvC3 or DLC for her. Howard the Duck would TOTALLY make up for her though.

Dr. Strange would have been cool.

How crazy would it have been if they just stuck to using 2d sprites? I don't think you could fit enough character selection icons on the screen!

Fuck yeah HOWARD THE DUCK.

"Darkstalkers characters are all complete memory hunger-mad characters because they constantly transform into things. They can’t just walk – they have to change into something when they move and it just uses a lot of data. Even just having these two is a big deal. To put Demitri in we’d have to have time to make a whole other game. Doing that in 3D is a big issue. Maybe it was one of those things that we could only do because it was 2D. But fighting games have started to catch on again so perhaps at this rate… you never know."

[Sorano]

This as mucho team-up potential. Artist name is Skottie Young, who does amazing all-ages stuff for Marvel.

[Trevor Dunbar]

So, apparently the game is already finished? (or nearly so?) WHAT?

You can listen to (and rip if you're any good with audio) all the existing character themes on the Japanese website (needs flash player):

http://www.capcom.co.jp/mvsc3/ch_arthur.html#flashcontent

Arthur's theme is too epic, so is M.O.D.O.K's. Why is a speak-and-spell in Magneto's theme?
Super Skrull's theme is great.
Felica's theme sounds like a remix from one of the darkstalkers games, reminds me of my Roland synthesizer.
Spiderman's theme is remixed from marvel super heroes.

[baconman]

Or you could just click the "Download" button. You know, in case you aren't so savvy? N.M. That's just wallpaper, boo!

Magneto's is also a MSH remix. Uhh... with a Speak-and-Spell. XD

M.A.G.
N.E.T.O.

...and DDR's PARANOiA? o.O


EDIT: Oh! Interesting... even though most recurring Marvelites have MSH remixes, IronMan's is a remix of War Machine's theme! Wise pick, and IMO, one of the better sounding ones. At least that being in techno makes sense. Spidey/Cap's needs more guitar, though.

[baconman]

Didn't the Yanks win the Cold War?

'nuff said.

Perhaps, but they haven't seen a World Series since then.

[The Monster King]

im 1000% convinced the "would take too much memory" part is a complete lie

maybe thats their reason for not having more than one model on some characters but im still inclined not to believe that

(characters like Captain Commando who have their own extra characters, and MvC style Morrigan who fuses with lilith and uses some supers involving her)


waaaay too many cool characters deconfirmed, but

im betting a lot on sequels for this, this WILL be bigger than SF4 in north america

[Sorano]

Super Skrull's theme is great.

It sure is.

[Pietepiet]

No Monster Hunter in this game is a fucking crime.

[TwilightVulpine]

Wait, they will have Zero but they will use the classic Megaman!? Will they be using Megaman Zero's Zero then?

...the game is a little less awesome. If it's confirmed, that is. But if they don't confirm Zero, it will be very disappointing...

Anyway, Morrigan is already very transformative. Can't they really fit B.B. Hood?

[The Monster King]

a lot of the choices are fucking crimes IMO

way too many same origin characters

also every female character but 2 is "this guy but with tits"

X23 -> Wolverine
Spider-Woman -> Spider-Man
Hulk -> She-Hulk
Thor -> Storm
Dante -> Trish

some comic book fans been telling me, some have different powers. this is me giving a fuck, i know theyll play at least slightly differently, but in a universe as big as marvel where every superpower ever exists its dumb as fuck to have two people with the same


i personally wouldnt like MMZ Zero but i know a lot like that (childish hheh) design, however they DID say the MMX fans would be pleased so sorry about that i guess

i dont get why theyd choose c.viper but she was semi-confirmed via silhouette

captain commando... we'll meet again

 thats what I was thinking, she doesn't transform much (if at all)

[The Monster King]

i told you guys i told you it was bullshit

however BB Hood does summon a pair of giant men which would arguably be extra models

but im still calling bullshit, besides the backgrounds theres only 6 characters and some attack animations

[PGGB]

Also characters don't need to be 1:1 ports. No shame in putting in BB Hood with different animations.

[The Monster King]

im afraid when talking about fighting games there is such a thing as "signature moves" and cool hunting definitely is one. BB Hood is, after all, a fighting game character.

Also whats the point in putting in a character if they're radically different?

its ryu but he plays like e honda...

Uhm, you can change animations and still have basically the same attack..

When talking about BB Hood I didn't talk about Cool Hunting specifically but more about standard moves. I can understand when character morphing with standard moves can be difficult to do, but for a special move getting two more characters on-screen can't be the problem.

[Pietepiet]

MMZ Zero is superior to regular Zero. I'll take him over Green Headlight Tits any day.

[Alevice]

I think the problem with morphing and such is not a matter of memory, but rather that it takes more space to store the meshes and it means the animators can't just use interpolated keyframes for animation.
