Marvel vs. Capcom 3! Let's go crazy!

[Slap-Happy]

It kind of pisses me off how Capcom can make such f*cking terrible character choices on the Marvel side. M.O.D.O.K.? Seriously? X-23 and She-Hulk? Their male counterparts aren't enough? And Dormannu? Why not Dr. Strange?

[Ninjinister]

It kind of pisses me off how Capcom can make such f*cking terrible character choices on the Marvel side. M.O.D.O.K.? Seriously? X-23 and She-Hulk? Their male counterparts aren't enough? And Dormannu? Why not Dr. Strange?

Don't be pointing fingers at Capcom. Marvel has the majority vote on their side of things this time.

[Slap-Happy]

Why would they choose these characters? I'm sure Marvel's smart enough to know that some characters are more interesting the C-List villains (talking about MODOK, not Dormannu) and female clones. Could've went with Spider-Woman, Ms. Marvel, or Pheonix instead of X-23 and She Hulk.

[Ninjinister]

I don't know what they're up to with this list, but yeah, it's mostly Marvel's doing with their side of the roster.

Funny thing is, I went to my local comic shop last week for my Deadpool fix, and everybody there (these are people who read WAY more comics than I do) agreed that the Marvel side of things was nigh-perfect. I never thought I'd hear "About time somebody paid attention to Dormammu!"

I've got to admit, though, even though I don't like She-Hulk, she at least looks interesting from a gameplay perspective, and that car super move just floored me. I totally love that move.

[Brodie]

I think Dormammu and She Hulk are decent additions. MODOK is a funny one, albiet pointless. But I think Marvel's side is more interesting than Capcoms.


Most importantly....Where the **** is Howard the Duck?

[Ninjinister]

From what the folks at the shop said, M.O.D.O.K. was apparently very heavily featured in a recent Hulk storyline, and is a fan favorite on Super Hero Squad, so he apparently may have got in on those factors (as well as, likely, the wtf factor).

[Slap-Happy]

Howard The Duck would be epic. I remember being a huge fan of HTD when I was around 8 through 10.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Guess I can kiss Rogue goodbye then.

[Ninjinister]

Guess I can kiss Rogue goodbye then.

Never give up hope!

[Turo602]

Guess I can kiss Rogue goodbye then.

Dude you can die doing that!!!

But seriously, she better be in it. Even though it will most likely never happen. She was good in MvC 2.

[Brodie]

I hope they keep her out of it. Her place could be saved for someone more deserving, she's lame and pointless.

[ThirdMarioBro]

You're lame and pointless.

But seriously, Feburary? That's quick. I was expecting April.

[Turo602]

I don't know, Rogue was cooler in the 90s. And February? I thought this game comes out in March.

[Ninjinister]

The day after Valentine's Day's the release date.

Although I do like Rogue as a character (especially, but not exclusively, '90's big hair Rogue), it's her gameplay style that has me wanting her here - XvsSF version, particularly. Between the punch rush variants and move stealing, people were starting to hate playing against me.

[Slap-Happy]

So... Anybody getting the Gamestop Collector's Edition?

[ThirdMarioBro]

Probably. I collect pointless Capcom crap, so I'm sort of obligated. Besides, the bonuses are cool.

[Turo602]

Looks like I was right, Jill is going to be DLC. But I think hoping for Leon even though he is a terrific fighter is going too far. I see them sticking to Resident Evil 5 only.

[Turo602]

Crimson Viper and Storm are officially confirmed. I think that's a total of 32 characters.

[Brodie]

Wow, what a lackluster reveal. TMB is the only person on the planet who would even care that Crimson Viper is in it.

Storm? Go back to the morlocks, bitch.

[Turo602]

Wow, what a lackluster reveal. TMB is the only person on the planet who would even care that Crimson Viper is in it.

Storm? Go back to the morlocks, bitch.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah I could care less for Crimson Viper. Storm, still iffy. But good one man.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Screw you guys. I'm happy! The Marvelous Mad Madam Milf: Crimson Viper needed to be in this game.

[Dr. Doom]

Storm? Go back to the morlocks, bitch.

Amen, brother.

[Ninjinister]

Needs more Juri Han.

[The Stryker]

Sh*tty SF4 characters need to disappear forever.

[Ninjinister]

Sh*tty SF4 characters need to disappear forever.

Hence my wish for Juri.

[Ninjinister]

JVriTPCVjL4

[Cure]

...and then the impact of Haggar's announcement gets counter-acted by the announcement of Phoenix. Great.

[Peanut]

PLZ can we have more f*cking X-Men characters? Jesus.

[Ninjinister]

...and then the impact of Haggar's announcement gets counter-acted by the announcement of Phoenix. Great.

That's why I didn't even bother posting her video.

[Brodie]

What a waste of space.


Where's Devil Dinosaur? THEN I'LL CARE.

[Slap-Happy]

What a waste of space.


Where's Devil Dinosaur? THEN I'LL CARE.
Holy sh*t that would rock.

[Peanut]

So Akuma and Taskmaster. Again, I don't really care about Marvel, but another f*cking Street Fighter character!? Jesus Christ! I hope whoever's deciding this sh*t gets hit by a EVO bus.

[XERO]

It would be shocking if he WASN'T in the game.

[Peanut]

That doesn't mean it's a good choice.

[XERO]

I never really used him, anyways. I was hoping for Ken instead.

[Peanut]

I hope you die.

There's this game out, it's called Street Fighter. I wish the people who want so many of these god damned characters in this game would realize that. Crimson Viper!? I ASK YOU!

[XERO]

I hope you die.

That's the sweetest thing you ever said to me.

And C. Viper can go f*ck herself.

[Ninjinister]

If the latest "leak" list is correct (which it certainly is shaping up to be, with today's announcement), we've just got one more playable character on each side plus the boss left.


Marvel: Sentinel
Capcom: Hsien-Ko/Lei-Lei
Boss: Galactus

[The Stryker]

Sounds pretty sh*tty!

[Peanut]

ANOTHER X-MEN CHARACTER! GREAT! It wouldn't surprise me if those are true and if they are f*ck Capcom for holding back GOOD characters for DLC.

If it were less transparent, I would be less angry about it, but a game featuring all-star Capcom characters that doesn't feature Mega Man, but features a c-grade character from a Mega Man spin-off series and a second fiddle in the X series? Give me a break. They've done work on characters like Mega Man, and even Frank West, thanks to TvsC. You're telling me it would be so difficult to get them in the game over bullsh*t like Trish? Of course not, but how many yahoo's are going to pay dolla billz for Trish and X-23!? Now if those DLC characters include Mega Man and Venom? Money out the ASS! We're already going to buy the game, so why give us what we want when they can wring us out for more?

Between this and their horse sh*t Splosion Man rip-off, I'm not feeling very friendly towards Capcom.

[XERO]

Yeah, Peanut, because THAT'S what we need. Another MEGA MAN character!

RIGHT?

[Peanut]

Yeah, Peanut, because THAT'S what we need. Another MEGA MAN character!

RIGHT?

No, just Mega Man you f*cking gimp.

[XERO]

Well, maybe if you cry a little harder, they MIGHT put him in, muhf*cka!

[愛]

So this game is still going to have the same overpowered six characters played by everyone, right? Because that can be a deal breaker. :)

[Peanut]

Well, maybe if you cry a little harder, they MIGHT put him in, muhf*cka!

Oh, Jesus. The Queen of whining is going to tell someone to stop complaining? Life got any tougher for you lately?

[XERO]

Oh, Jesus. The Queen of whining is going to tell someone to stop complaining? Life got any tougher for you lately?

Yeah. I ran out of ice for my Kool-Aid.

F*ck my life.

[The Stryker]

Yeah. I ran out of ice for my Kool-Aid.

F*ck my life.

Now I know you're joking.

You can't afford Kool-aid.

Edit: Or anything else.

[Turo602]

Yeah, I can totally see them screwing us over and holding back just to make us pay 10 f*cken dollars on four more characters. They were better off putting Ken instead of C. Viper and putting someone else fitting instead of X-23. And I really hope Leon gets put in even if he's DLC. I demand 10 more characters for DLC since we know they're robbing us with it already.

[XERO]

Now I know you're joking.

You can't afford Kool-aid.

Edit: Or anything else.

Then why the hell am I drinking it right now?

[Peanut]

I demand 10 more characters for DLC since we know they're robbing us with it already.

I kind of agree with this. I mean, it's sort of stupid to say "Well, since I know you're going to take my money either way, I demand you take MORE of it!" but having lots of cool characters to get for the game would be really cool.

Also, $10 for 4 characters? Is that a number announced, or is that you assuming? Because I guarantee we won't pay $10 for 4 characters.

[Candy Kappa]

Then why the hell am I drinking it right now?

you don't want to know:o

[Turo602]

No I just made it up. It's something stupid I can see them doing. Some DLC is very pricey that's why. Like stupid avatar items and alternate costumes or characters. A lot of it is always overpriced. So yeah, I was just being sarcastic.

Of course not. I already know 2 characters confirmed as DLC, they best be 200 points if not add more.

I can totally see why the roster angers you. We best be getting better characters soon. I can see Ghost Rider fit but he's already confirmed to not be in it. Just as long as they don't whore out X-Men. I'm already disappointed Cyclops won't be in it so stop trying to make up for it with sh*tty characters.

[Peanut]

Oh, I know sh*t is pricey. I'm saying you're going to pay a lot more for 4 characters than $10.

[Turo602]

Oh, I know sh*t is pricey. I'm saying you're going to pay a lot more for 4 characters than $10.

Heh, I hear ya. That's why I'm going to wait it out on this game. Get it at a price so that when I get the DLC, I ain't overpaying. Why can't video game developers take more time on their work instead of giving us half a game for 60 bucks and make us pay for the rest later? That just angers me. Especially when it's something as simple as extra characters.

Edit: Lol! Picture a Street Fighter game on Kinect. It gives a better competitive experience. Now you can Hurricane Kick your little brother across the living room. Coming Fall of 2011.:lol:

[Andrew NDB]

Mostly unrelated, but I attempted to play a prank on my friend who eats, sleeps, and breathes MvC 1 and 2 for the past ten+ years... I told him MvC 3 was cancelled and made a bogus Wiki for proof.

It didn't work. I was sad.

[Candy Kappa]

Edit: Lol! Picture a Street Fighter game on Kinect. It gives a better competitive experience. Now you can Hurricane Kick your little brother across the living room. Coming Fall of 2011.:lol:

I would buy it, as long as it got local multiplayer of course.

Lol, I did the same thing but he didn't believe me. But of course I didn't go as far as making a fake wiki. But he didn't believe me when I said DMC, Prototype 2, and MvC 3 were real.

[Slap-Happy]

Well, first reviews are in.

It has a 9.0/10 from OXM. They crititcized the story, saying "Even speaking of it is a spoiler."

Also got a 90% from Games Master.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I paid it off today. It's killing me trying to keep from spoiling the soundtrack. Really hoping they kept Captain America's theme.

And we all know there will be a "Super" version in a year that has all the DLC characters, plus a bunch of other stuff. And I'll gladly buy it. It's Capcom.

[Ninjinister]

Some Best Buys across the globe have the game in their 360 kiosks. I played it on Monday. It's amazing. It just makes the wait this much tougher, though.

[XERO]

Some of my assh*le friends are already playing it.

Damnit.

[Ninjinister]

Some of my assh*le friends are already playing it.

Damnit.

Thanks a lot.

[XERO]

Thank them, instead. I'm actually faithful and is waiting until it's released.

[Ninjinister]

Thank them, instead. I'm actually faithful and is waiting until it's released.

It was a joke you ding-a-ling. Since, y'know, I've already played it.

Wouldn't scald them too harshly though unless they're rubbing it in your face. How'd they get it anyway? Leaked copies? Or more sinister means?

[XERO]

Either leaked copies or something to do with a heartagram...

[Ninjinister]

This is the reason I've not gotten the game yet:

http://www.capcom-unity.com/jgonzo/blog/2011/02/17/a_message_from_the_capcom_store_re:_marvel_vs._cap com_3

[Slap-Happy]

^ that sucks.

So, what's your team (and if you don't have it yet, planned team)? Mine's mostly been:

Deadpool
Wolverine
Spider-Man

As of recently though, I've been using Taskmaster a lot in either Spidey or Deadpool's place.

[XERO]

Mine is Ryu/Haggar/Spencer. But I want to get better with Viewtiful Joe and Deadpool.

[Ninjinister]

I only spent a short amount of time with the game when I played it at a kiosk a couple of weeks ago, but I did alright with blastin' the crap out of people with the 'Poo.

[Ninjinister]

Those bastards shipped me the wrong version.

[Brodie]

You really can't win, can you?

I've been playing a bunch of it, with Stryker, Cure and Peanut. Moreso on my own.

I dig it more than MvC2, just in approachability.

My regular reserve roster is Super Skrull, Taskmaster and Dante. And I hate Dante.

[XERO]

You basically need a strategy guide to know all his friggin' moves. :P

I actually got to play a bit online with TMB last night. Good times.

[Ninjinister]

You really can't win, can you?


It seems not. And compared to the mass amount of people that spammed and were just flat-out pricks to Capcom on their Facebook page and message board, I was pretty darn patient. I even advocated for the lot of them to simmer down. Nice to see karma works.

(Sigh)

So Capcom's out of Special Editions altogether, not a single store in 20 miles of here has one, and the best Capcom can do is refund my money - but I've got to send the t-shirt back as well (which is the reason I even bought it from them). My choices are either to buy a PS3 or take my lumps.

[Slap-Happy]

Still cost $70 right? Just think of it as you bought the shirt for $10 after the game. I mean, it's better if it's free, but...

Or, you could get a refund and find the shirt and special edition on ebay.

[Ninjinister]

SE's goin' for $100+

[Slap-Happy]

SE's goin' for $100+
:o Jesus...

[Ninjinister]

'Sokay. I've found a way to deal with it, as you may be able to see.

[Jester]

Did you seriously just buy a new console just for one game Ninji?

[Ninjinister]

Did you seriously just buy a new console just for one game Ninji?

I've done it in the past, but technically, in this case, no. I had intention on purchasing one this year, but I had hoped to do so after I potentially move.

[AquaParade]

I've been playing a ton too. Can hardly believe the game is finally out.

MULTIPLE_8 is my Psn tag. Anyone else playing on ps3?

[ThirdMarioBro]

Most enjoyable fighter I've ever played. My regular team is Spidey (old reliable), Viper (the combo machine), and either Captain America (spam), Dr. Doom (strength), or X-23 (speed).

[Ninjinister]

Deadpool/Dante/Ryu, with Iron Man as an alternate. I'm all about the beam and bullet spam.

[XERO]

I kicked ass today. People got mad.

[rav4ge]

I have like 1 win and 8 losses for online mode (not ranked).

In other words, I suck dinosaur turds at this game. But I'm trying to get better, and I did beat that one guy.

[GK Punk]

A little late to the party on this one but a friend has loaned the game to me and I'm obsessed. Regular team is X-23 wolverine and Deadpool.

[Peanut]

I prefer to run random, post Amaterasu as my front-runner. I've only played a couple times in the last month, but it was still a lot of fun. Having people over at my house that aren't boring as hell tends to get the games rolling and I think MvC3 would have taken over if WWE All-Stars hadn't come out recently.

[GK Punk]

I checked out All Stars, I didn't want to like that game but holy crap is it fun. The art style kinda bothers me, but I don't care because of how great the game plays.

[XERO]

I've been learn to play with Deadpool and Haggar a lot more, but it's hard to use Haggar when the majority of online peeps are f*cking Wesker whores.

All they do is teleport!

[GK Punk]

Nothing makes me happier than beating someone playing as Wesker. I usually reserve X-23 for last for that reason. She's by far my best character.

[Peanut]

I've been learn to play with Deadpool and Haggar a lot more, but it's hard to use Haggar when the majority of online peeps are f*cking Wesker whores.

All they do is teleport!

Pro-tip: Don't play randoms online.

They're all about using the newest broken tactic.

[XERO]

She is hella-fast.

So far, Zero's been my best character, even surpassing Ryu. I usually save him for last, too, along with an X-Factor.

Pro-tip: Don't play randoms online.

Well, I don't play online that often.

EDIT: They're all about using the newest broken tactic.

This whole game is just about broken, anyways.

[GK Punk]

Any of you guys on PS3 with this one? If so friend me on there for while I have the game, KaraInChains is PSN ID

[XERO]

I have one, but it's on my friend's PS3. It's EdmanXERO.

[GK Punk]

I'll add you next time I'm on the PS3. If you see me on there while you are at your friend's house, let's brawl!

[Peanut]

Sorry, dawg. I roll at least 4 deep on 360 at all times, so multi-plat on PS3 is always a no-go.

[GK Punk]

If I buy the game I might get it for the 360. It's usually my preferred platform.

[XERO]

I'll add you next time I'm on the PS3. If you see me on there while you are at your friend's house, let's brawl!

Fa sho!

If I had my way, I'd have both systems and I can play with all you guys.

The PS3 controller feels more good to me with fighters, that's all.

[Peanut]

No, the d-pad is totally loads better, but I find MvC3 isn't so bad with the analog stick anyways. It's pretty lenient.

Either way, I use one of those fightpads (http://www.madcatz.com/productinfo.asp?page=247&GSProd=4700&GSCat=97&CategoryImg=Xbox_360_Controllers) for my 360. Amazon had them on sale for $20 at the same time they had SSFIV on sale for $15, so I decided to jump on. Makes it loads easier for me to do anything in a fighting game. Capcom fighters at least, all my of skill (or least lack of skill) is in the MK series.

[XERO]

That's a pretty neat fightpad.

[Ninjinister]

So to nobody's surprise, Capcom announced a new version of the game for $40 this November, with 12 additional characters

http://kotaku.com/5823075/ultimate-marvel-vs-capcom-3-brings-twelve-new-fighters-at-a-budget-price
The first round of confirmed characters include Red Arremer/Firebrand, Strider Hiryu, Ghost Rider, and Hawkeye.

Apparently someone dicked around on the website and brought up the rest of the characters. Take these not as confirmation (Capcom could have purposely done this to mess with people, you never know with them), but apparently the remaining eight are:

Dr. Strange, Frank West, Nova, Tyrant, Rocket Raccoon, Virgil, Phoenix Wright, and Iron Fist.

http://kotaku.com/5823117/are-these-the-remaining-eight-new-fighters-in-ultimate-marvel-vs-capcom-3/

Now honestly, I would rather each of these character have been released in groups of DLC (1 Marvel, 1 Capcom, like they did with Jill/Shuma). Buuuut since I bought SF4, SSF4, and SSF4AE, I'm likely to buy this as well.

[Iroh]

Ugh! I hate this game. Does anyone feel cheated for having this game? They have DLC for characters that SUPPOSE to be in the game! I don't know, maybe its just me....:cry:

[Ninjinister]

Only thing that bothers me is that they didn't even wait a full year before this game'll be out.

Then again, 12 characters and 8 stages in addition? This would cost way more than $40 if released as individual DLC.

[Peanut]

Don't justify this sh*t. Capcom needs to be strung up by their f*cking balls for pulling this again. They release a game with busted, awful online, a severe lack of features and then decide to sh*t out another version less than a year later to further profit from the people who'll bend over and take it.

MK very clearly shows just how lazy and thoughtless Capcom is.

I'll do exactly whatever I want, thank you very much. Even if I look like a massive tool for doing it, I'm going to support a game that interests me, dammit.

EDIT: By the way, if it weren't apparent enough, my tongue is so damn far into my cheek that I'm tasting blood. Still excited for this.

[GK Punk]

I was really hoping for Daken and Ms Marvel.

[Ninjinister]

I was thinking about Daken today while reading last week's issue of Dark Wolverine (I'm a bit behind), and I'm not really entirely sure what they could have done with the character that wasn't already done with Logan and Laura, other than maybe implement his pheromone powers. Actually, that could work out. They might have had been able to have a little fun with that considering his affable nature and memetic sex god status - and he swings both ways so it's not out of character for him to try to seduce the entire cast pretty much.

Ms. Marvel... I'm "meh" on. I'm a huge Rogue fan and I really couldn't see anything done with Ms. M that couldn't be done better with Rogue anyway, especially considering the connection between them. But I haven't read anything with her in it in a zillion years so she might've gotten something worthwhile in the meantime.

Actually, what surprises me about the new characters list (including the leaks) are what's NOT there. Not individuals, but how some groups are completely unsupported. No X-Men characters, nobody from Street Fighter or Darkstalkers, and absolutely NO females. True the game already had quite a few characters from those series, but c'mon, there's a third DMC and a fourth Resident Evil character hitting the game, not to mention the like hundredth Avenger. And I really don't think it would have killed them to put another chica into this meatmash.

[GK Punk]

If I'm not mistaken, Rogue no longer has Ms Marvel's powers right? I actually like your idea for Daken. I figured he could have more direct stab attacks and less slash attacks as well.

[Ninjinister]

Given that the MVC games officially take place on Earth 96169 instead of 616, I don't think it matters. Marvel and Capcom seem to be more interested in the most well-known versions of a character than the most recent (i.e. Steve as Cap, moptop M.O.D.O.K., non-emo Dante). They only really dropped the ball on Spencer.

[GK Punk]

Yeah that's a good point actually. I just dig Ms Marvel.

[Turo602]

Why the hell does Capcom do this? First they make you pay for a game with a smaller roster then the predecessor, then they make you pay extra for two more characters and now they want you to buy the game all over again? WTF! I'm telling you, I smelled this a mile away. Good thing I never bought the game, I was expecting them to pull this kind of crap on us. And I'm still disappointed of the lack of Leon and Ken.

Although I'm happy Nemesis is in it. And again WTF! I remember reading that Nemesis couldn't be in it because then they would have to change the rating. Lies!

[Peanut]

I'll do exactly whatever I want, thank you very much. Even if I look like a massive tool for doing it, I'm going to support a game that interests me, dammit.

EDIT: By the way, if it weren't apparent enough, my tongue is so damn far into my cheek that I'm tasting blood. Still excited for this.

But does this not piss you off even a little bit? I have an interest in it too, if the characters are right (which that list I'm not OK with because...still no Mega Man...REALLY!?) and the online actually gets a proper spectator mode for lobbies, but that's what pisses me off so much. They know people have interest and they'll f*ck those people in the ass again and again because they know they've got them trapped. Capcom is absolute scum.

Also, you actually want MORE X-Men and SF characters? They already run the god damn roster. This is a chance to flesh it out in more interesting ways, not go back to the same well.

Edit: Capcom cancelling Mega Man Legends 3 has pretty much drained me of any good will I had left for Capcom. Those reserves were already running on low, but they've proven again and again they're a worthless bunch of pricks.

[XERO]

What you just said, I totally agree. I have no more faith in them whatsoever.

The only decent characters I'm interested in are Strider and Ghost Rider, but I should've known there'd be no Mega Man, especially with the canning of Legends 3.

Capcom is officially Rare 2.0. They can go suck a Capcock.

[oldmanwinters]

Only thing that bothers me is that they didn't even wait a full year before this game'll be out.



lol, classic Capcom! Always trying to 1-up themselves and charge the faithful consumer an-arm-and-a-leg for the latest and greatest update, eh?

[Ninjinister]

But does this not piss you off even a little bit?
Not enough to complain about it. I've got better things to do.


Also, you actually want MORE X-Men and SF characters? They already run the god damn roster. This is a chance to flesh it out in more interesting ways, not go back to the same well.

Other than the fact that I would have liked Rogue because she's my favorite X-Men character, no, and I never said I did. I just said that it surprised me that Capcom didn't go and put more of those characters in.

[Peanut]

Not enough to complain about it. I've got better things to do.

Ugh. Really? You're stooping to that sh*t now? Great.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Mega Man not being in there, despite being the director and fan's #1 pick for DLC, is simply because they're burying the character, probably for some sh*tty "Super Fighting Robot" Western reboot in a couple of years. Look at Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Final Fight Streetwise, and Bionic Commando for proof. Capcom wants to be a western publisher soooo bad, but they have no clue how to go about it.

I know for a goddamn fact that I would never play as a single new character in this "updated" version, so I won't be buying. My team used to be Spider-Man, Mega-Man, Captain America. Now they've buried their mascot for the sake of who-the-fu*k-knows why, yet now we have FOUR resident evil characters? Western pandering much? They're too obvious. It's like Nintendo burying Mario in Smash Bros. for more Metroid characters just because the West is supposed to like Samus more than Japan.

Capcom has no mind at this point. They're going to kill the fighting revival with shi*tty updates. They've already alienated a 20 year fan. I'll be pirating from here on out. I wish them ill.

[Slap-Happy]

I'd rather wait a few years for Marvel vs Capcom 4. With every character and stage that's ever appeared in MvC games. Plus more.

[XERO]

I'd rather wait a few years for Marvel vs Capcom 4. With every character and stage that's ever appeared in MvC games. Plus more.

And they STILL won't have Mega Man in it.

Ugh. Really? You're stooping to that sh*t now? Great.

What are you on about? I'd just rather not waste my time whining about this.

[Peanut]

What are you on about? I'd just rather not waste my time whining about this.

I just thought you were above the "I have better things to do" justification that most of the clowns here and across the internet use. You opinions should be able to stand without that kind of sh*t and yours always do, so it was just disappointing to see one of the few I actually respect use that tired qualifier instead of just letting your point stand alone.

On Capcom (henceforth once again known as the childish hater name Crapcom), I love the rumor going around that they're kicking Mega Man cosplayers and people even talking about Mega Man out of their Comic-Con booth for fear of some physical manifestation of the backlash they've been feeling online for their sudden cancellation of MML3. I hope everything they do in the next year is an outright failure.

I can see where Ninjinister is coming from, though. The internet has completely ruined me to the point where I don't even feel like forming an opinion and then sharing/defending it. I'll talk with people I know and respect about it, sure, but never with complete strangers. That's just a recipe for the classic "HURR DURR YOUR OPINION SUCKS" dinner everyone knows and hates.

But since I'm talking about it, I feel horribly slighted by Capcom, and it's been going on for some time now. Resident Evil was ruined years ago, Mega Man has been put away on a shelf to never be seen again, and now with this bullsh*t "New Street Fighter every 6 months" business that they're even incorporating into MvC3. I already bought your nerdgasm game, and now I have to buy it again for characters I don't even like? Great! I just can't f*cking wait!

[Peanut]

Also, I didn't actually hear this until now, but I guess they're not bringing Ace Attorney Investigations 2 out in NA either now? My fiance just lost her sh*t when I told her that.

How is it that all of these awesome things get canned, while something like the universally hated DMC reboot is still in the works? Fan reaction to MML3 apparently just wasn't good enough to keep it going, but the fan reaction for DmC is good enough? What the f*ck? I've never done/said this before and I really feel like TMB now, but I'm totally not buying any more Capcom games. F*ck them. I need to play Legends 2 and weep.

[愛]

Oh yeah, when I heard about Investigations 2 not coming here, I flipped sh*t too. I find it completely unjustified. The Phoenix Wright following is absolutely ridiculous! They'd be completely retarded to not release it here! Who's dick do I need to suck to get this sh*t to come out here? Playing that game in Japanese is way too hard for me.

I didn't even know DMC fans wanted another game badly enough. Wasn't that franchise beaten into the ground already? There's nothing new you can do! And I'm pretty sure they wrapped that story a long time ago.

[Ninjinister]

Nah, guys, it's more like a "Gee, do I want to spend 25 minutes going Red Lantern over something that doesn't really bother me all that much, or do I want to take a nap? Nap it is."

[Slap-Happy]

And they STILL won't have Mega Man in it.
What's with Capcom trying to bury Mega Man? He's one of their most, if not THE most, recognizable characters.

Well... he did have his own comic book series start up this summer courtesy of Archie Comics! It may only be a mini-series but it looks great and is in the classic style.

[Ninjinister]

Word is it's due to some sort of grudge Capcom they have against (Mega Man creator) Keiji Inafune blabbing about how terrible it is to work for Capcom and quitting. However, several of his other creations are still being showcased both in Ultimate MvC3 and other upcoming games that (so far) haven't been canceled, so I don't know what the deal really is.

To get to the bottom of what bothers me about Ultimate MvC3 without making a tl;dr: the timing. An upgrade coming out doesn't bother me so much, nor does the roster (while not great, I'm not hating anybody but Nova), it's just the fact that it's coming out so soon after vanilla MvC3.

Yeah, sounds like the whole Mega Man Universe project really burned a lot of bridges between Inafune and the House that Mega Man Built.

I also hear Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney will not be localized, either. Complete bullsh*t.

[Ninjinister]

Between Nintendo and Capcom, especially as of late (Koei as well to a lesser degree), there's been a lot of:

Westerners: "Hey, we love this series that has a new entry in Japan! Is it coming out here?"
Company: Nope -trollface-

Well, with this bullsh*t they're pulling, Inafune just proved his f*cking point.

Capcom's reason (according to Niitsuma) for ignoring DLC for MvC3 and going for another disc release is nothing short of f*cking hilarious and at the same time absolutely horrible.

"After the release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 there were plans to release DLC. But, as you know, less than a month after the game was released we had the earthquake and tsunami in Japan," he claimed in a San Diego Comic Con interview.

According to Niitsuma, the disastrous events that occurred in Japan not long after the release of MvC3 "threw off our whole development schedule." Eventually, a decision was made to release that content on a disc, along with tweaks to the gameplay, a new spectator mode, and other new playable content.


How...does being off of schedule because of the awful stuff that happened in Japan make it so that they need to release planned DLC on a disc instead!? HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE!?

Almost sounds like the reason for the exact opposite: We planed on releasing this as a new disc, but due to production issues, we are making it DLC

And yet... Sven at Capcom U.S.A. claims that talks of a disc upgrade started right after MvC3 hit retail.

I'm going with Sven on this one.

[Peanut]

I guess that's the whole point? That this dude is lying out of his f*cking ass and blaming their greed on a god damn national tragedy.

Also love that with this insane amount of backlash everywhere, they went ahead and announced a partnership with Sanrio to put out some Hello Kitty X Street Fighter merchandise. Great.

Maybe they'll do a Hello Kitty Vs. Street Fighter game. That'd be the thing that would finally make me buy a next gen console.

I'll bet you would too!

EDIT: Misleading headline...

[Ninjinister]

Here's the thing: Ryota Niitsuma's comments regarding the game sound like complete and utter bullroar, and he's the director of the project. They don't even sound like PR-spun stuff or things to placate us. It's just stupidity.

However, Christian Svensson, who is Capcom USA's CO/Senior Veep, says things that might get the blood boiling, but at the same time seems completely feasible.

Other than the prior example of UMvC3's development (DLC versus disc release), there's the exclusion of MegaMan in the game.

Niitsuma's excuse is that he never even touched the tops of the rankings to be included. Sounds ridiculous considering the fact that it's, y'know, f*cking MEGAMAN.

On the other hand, Sven's saying that MM and God Hand's Gene were in a large pool of characters to be included, but were eked out when they realized the pool was bigger than what they could fit into the game. Sure, it's a bit frustrating that they didn't make it in over, oh for example Firebrand and Phoenix Wright. But it sounds more like the truth than MegaMan not even coming close to being included.

[Peanut]

No one ever said Niitsuma was telling was the truth, he's quite clearly full of sh*t, what I'm getting at is that this is a f*cking PL spouting this nonsense, which is ridiculous. Either way, does it really matter which of them is more of a liar? They're both completely full of sh*t, it's just that one of them is full of PR sh*t and one of them is full of regular sh*t.

The Mega Man thing is straight up lies from everyone, though. He was voted in as the number 1 on Capcom Unity and they ignored it. They're either burying the character out of a petty grudge, or they really don't think he has what it takes to make them money anymore and simply don't care.

'Bury' ain't the word.

They're giving him the Han Solo-in-carbonite treatment.

Ah.

I never played the games, but now I know where that "OBJECTION!" comes from.
