Marvel Vs Capcom 3

[AB Editor]

Anyone else excited about this?

MvC2 was clearly a masterpiece (and a genre in itself)

Character list:

Marvel characters[19] Capcom characters[19]

Captain America Akuma
Deadpool Albert Wesker
Doctor Doom Amaterasu
Dormammu Arthur
Hulk Chris Redfield
Iron Man Chun-Li
Magneto Crimson Viper
M.O.D.O.K. Dante
Phoenix Felicia
Sentinel Hsien-Ko
She-Hulk Jill Valentine
Shuma-Gorath Mike Haggar
Spider-Man Morrigan Aensland
Storm Nathan Spencer
Super-Skrull Ryu
Taskmaster Trish
Thor Tron Bonne
Wolverine Viewtiful Joe
X-23 Zero

Glad to see a few Darkstalkers Characters in there. not fussed about a few of the newer Capcom creations - Viewtiful Joe doesn't do much for me for example. Equally, She-hulk & X-23 don't seem to bring anything fresh to the whole thing. Glad to see Deadpool however!

Anyone you think they've missed out? Hoping for some good DLC packages on this. Who else would you like to see featured?

All the best,

wasnt there a Wesker in Resi?

[AB Editor]

It isn't about speed Vibra, it is about timing. Timing and being awesome. I thought you'd be up for a twitch-fest as you're a codder?

Yes there was Booldawg - in fact there are 3 Resi Characters in this: Wesker, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine

There were reports of addin Nemisis (from Resi 3) and Tyrant (from Resi 1) - but apparently this would push the games age rating up.

I'm quite looking forward to it, I enjoyed the second one especially.
I'm a button-basher all day long though. Much to my OH's annoyance as he tries to beat me by skill alone. pah!

[Booldawg]

I've never been a fan of the genre ever since Tekken. Fair enough they've moved on since then but I still find the gameplay limited and just a mess of random button pushing.

[AB Editor]

Betty & Boold - nonsense!

[AB Editor]

Or rather, you wouldn't beat me by button mashing!

[BettyNoir]

i beg to differ...

[AB Editor]

You know, there is only one way to settle this...

a quiet front 9 of St Andrews in Tiger Woods '09 ;-)

Sounds about right!

I am going to be very excited on the 18th by the way (UK release date) - my apologies in advance.

It is released in the US today, which means there should be a load of reviews rolling out soon. It is going to be grand.
