Marvel vs Capcom 3 character notes

A Q&A session with developers reveals some thought process behind the roster

[riksweeney]

I finally know what it is that's been bugging me about the game. The hit explosions (the flash that happens when you hit your opponent) are FAR too big.

Look at Crimson Viper's features video:

The explosions from some of the hits take up nearly a quarter of the screen making it hard to see what's going on, it's ridiculous.

[erathaol]

Is that whats been bugging you?

Not the prepared for purchase DLC to unlock characters that are more than likely on the disc?

Or possibly the elimination of characters from the classic roster in exchange big name characters?

Maybe even the removable of the old unique art style from past MvC games?

I'm probably in that group that people tell "Just keep playing your old games and leave our new game alone grandpa."

:/

I was wondering why Human Torch wasnt in this game as he seems like an obvious choice

[hoof123]

Its a shame they took him out!

[-MD-]

Not a very meaty article. How about some info on why Jill was announced as DLC months before release instead of putting her in the game?

Also Human Torch using up too much RAM? Bwah?

[xskipperx82]

Because Jill was just recently decided on. Even her moveset was JUST finalized recently. They will be working on her and Shuma Gorath after the release of the game.

You can't believe what your saying yourself right???

It's BS.

The game has time before release to add in characters.

This is just usual Capcom bullshit and they don't even try to hide it.

[xskipperx82]

Ares84PS3

I do believe it because if you have been watching the "leakers" twitter, he said himself that Shuma Gorath is nearly done and that he's beautiful in motion, and that he has not seen any of Jill's gameplay because she is far from finished.

[Ares84PS3]

DLC was abused by CAPCOM and other companies from day 1.

I'm 100% confident that Jill can be included in the game, they just don't want to because they leave out stuff or lock it on purpose so they can milk us in the future and a $65 game becomes a $100 game very fast. Unfortunatley people do buy their stupid DLC. The costume packs and extra modes for their games and that is why they continue with this stupid shit.

[xskipperx82]

either way, i'll be buying ALL dlc for this game. Thay can nickel and dime me all they want. I've been waiting too long for this game. The more dlc the better. I'll be using Jill, Shuma, and anyone else they decide to release, because I want the complete package. Everyone treats 5 dollars like it's their entire college fund or something. It's 5 dollars! Give up one days worth of Starbucks and get a new character.

[scar20]

I can see him taking up much space on the 360 version but on a blu ray highly doubt it.

[Ares84PS3]

RAM =/= GB

[Coolmanrico]

Eventhough he isn't going to be in the game, I wonder if Capcom going to release a special video or even a few picture of Human Torch. Seeing as he was complete and all.

[RockmanII7]

All of the Fantastic 4 members are going to be major parts of the story so he will be in the game, you just won't play as him or fight him.

[unknownhero1123]

don't worry, you'll get him as dlc* when they "realize" that he can fit into the game after all

*dlc meaning paying for the unlock code to use him

which is why I won't buy this game until it's $20 cheaper.

[PS3gamer4life]

Capcom put Ken in the game..

[TheMutator]

mmmmmm Felicia :P

[Ri0tSquad]

What is this the 90s? He sucked up too much RAM, really? I foresee a lot of DLC for this game. It's not a coincidence that he "can't make the game" and they already have DLC announced before the game even releases. Just look at SFIV, SSFIV, and SSFIV arcade. They'll re-release this game at least 2 or 3 times.

[RockmanII7]

Your problem is that your comparing this to Street Fighter when this is Marvel vs Capcom. Every SF game had remakes and ports, MvC never had that problem to the same extent that SF has. If anything they will make MvC3 on the 3DS or something mobile. And Capcom has already confirmed that MvC3 will have 10 DLC characters. There is a good chance that Capcom will dumb down HT's appearance so he can be DLC, but if he plays fine then who cares. There are 40 characters on the disc, not like you need the DLC characters to make a team.

[devilhunterx]

Just wait for Super Duper Edition of MVC3. Problem solved.

[Ratchet510]

Where the hell is MEGAMAN X!

[RockmanII7]

Patience, Megaman Classic is going to be revealed sooner than you think (I have friends who are telling me he will be announced as early as today).

[RockmanII7]

In Japan Jump Festa is going on from now to Monday. People thought that there would be a Megaman reveal because there was a MvC3 conference and it was the 23rd anniversary of the original Megaman game for NES. As stated, this goes from now to Monday and there is still hope that there will be a character announcement before this weekend is over.
