Characters Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Should Get Rid Of

Inevitably when it comes to fighting games there’s always a few group of people nobody ever chooses. In Tekken, a number of people would rather be Jin instead of Wang Jinrei. Likewise in the Dead or Alive series most players pick the female fighters over the male ones. Although Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is still yet to be released, I believe there are already three characters in the roster that will be left untouched.

Ehh... While its true that every game has people that are selected more than others, there will always be people who just "love" X and Y person, and adding anyone at all isnt going to topple the lean for say Ryu over Blanka or THawk in street fighter.

As far as the post, I have nothing against the current roster seriously nothing (though I would make change)

about super skrull, hes a little of the three/four members. One has to assume he was simply added to justify NOT adding one or two of the fantastic four and not another. This is a very fair compermise and lets face it what would the thing do that the hulk isnt already? so on and so forth...

MODOK might not seem that amazing but its good that their trying more than the most basic characters... I much rather see him than say Galactus with his standard "im big and dont flinch rawr" sorta sentinal mentality.

Finally on Shuma, I actually really like fighting with him... and always have. I think you have also lost a big point in the capcom cross over games. Countless times capcom has added minor who cares characters from games most people wouldnt know exist...

Jin/devilot - Cyberbots
BB hood/Anakaris - Darkstalkers
Servbot/Roll - Rockman/Rockman Dash
SonSon - Sorta related to SonSon the game
Hardballer - Lost Planet
Hayato - Star Gladiator
Batsu - Rival Schools
Red Devil - Ghouls and Ghosts
Tessa - Red Earth

Even Marvel has had a few like "Blackheart" thats the one thing I always liked about the series. We had these cross overs and while some may prefer the Capcom VS SNK lets mash up two game series concept... I just thought it was cool to always see throwbacks (which capcom does a lot) to older games even if they were less than successful.

Replace shama-gurath with she-hulk and this would be a perfect list of characters to throw out. Jin, Hayato, and Capt. Commando are three of my favorite characters from MvC2 and I nothing would please me more than to see them return (although Hayato made a cameo in TvC which made me squeal like a baby pig)!

HOWEVER, according to an interview with the team behind MvC3, the Human Torch character was COMPLETELY FINISHED but but having him in his flaming glory ate up a huge chunk of RAM so Marvel actually suggested Capcom replace him with super skrull which, although he has all 4 of the gang's powers, his attacks are mostly fire based. This interview was on N4G not too long ago...

"There are a number of other people who appeared in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 but did not secure a spot in its sequel. Venom, Gambit, Cyclops, Cammy, Sakura, Dhalsim and Guile are just a few of the names that would have been better additions to the game than the three aforementioned fighters above."

Apparently this guy knows what the final line up is.

Its sad when I see people complain about not having the same people from a 10 year old game. They could just play MvC2, but they don't. They just cry about not have old maps, gameplay, old everything.

[Orochi Avlis]

These articles are stupid.
Those three characters he mentions are great additions to the game because they are so different from what we usually see in a fighting game.

I like this part:
"Although Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is yet to be released, I believe there are already three characters in the roster that will be left untouched (unless you want to finish all the character’s endings)."
I can guarantee you people will be using all 3 of those characters without a shadow of a doubt.
He wants another shoto (Sakura) in the game over those three characters. Give me a break. "Hey, let's go with a character that's been done to death before and is essentially a clone of two characters we already have in the game!"

[NovusTerminus]

I would have liked to have seen Gambit (Might still) and a few others. But mostly I am hoping Capcom shows SOMEONE from Onimusha. They had Soki is TvC and was hoping that maybe Onimusha would find it's was here.

[dericb11]

What makes the article so sad is that nope those characters have been used effective to see if they belong. I hope he gets this game and plays against a team made of those 3 and get destroyed.

*New Article*
Why are those 3 so good together :)

They shouldn't get rid of any characters. More choices = More better

[jdrman2007]

Horrible english... Its "More choices = More Gooderer."

[Jezuz]

Hollibre engrish?

[Baka-akaB]

They just should get rid of "journalists" like this .

For starters , dont knock a character in such a way , if you dont know much about the medium he's from .

Sure super skrull aint a star ... but it's not as if he wasnt one of the main character of an actually beloved recent serie of crossovers (Annihilation , wich made the characer kinda cool and badass)

And stop asking for characters that havent been any good in comics since the 90s

[Orochi Avlis]

"And stop asking for characters that havent been any good in comics since the 90s"
Thank you!
I thought I was the only one who doesn't want Gambit in MvC3.

[TheBlackSmoke]

Again its always the same people who complain, gotta love casual's and their "opinions"

You literally have thousands of characters from both universes so sorry but it's inevitable that not every single character you want is going to make it in to the game.

People need to understand that marvel and capcom know what they are doing, its not just a case of making marvel 2 all over again, they need to look at:

- who is relevant now in both universes
- how a characters abilities can translate in to a game
- diversifying character playstyle's so were not playing reskinned clones.
- shining light on up and coming characters whilst still keeping flagship ones in-tact.

These complainers would moan if they just kept all the same characters from MVC2 so really capcom can't win.

PS: You are all pot monsters ;)

[iMaim]

wow what an idiot...

[xino]

instead of getting rid of new good characters, Crapcom should get rid of:

*Storm, Magneto and other copy and pasted characters from MvC 1 & 2!

[Baka-akaB]

I can't wait to see guys try to play Magneto like in the old pringles day , vs stuff like Arthur or Modok .

The build shown so far arent even properly balanced , and yet Magneto or storm already arent of the god caliber of its former self

[Sidology]

Sure is casual in here.

[liquidsnake]

"Venom, Gambit, Cyclops, Cammy, Sakura, Dhalsim and Guile are just a few of the names that would have been better additions to the game than the three aforementioned fighters above."

Well ofc those heroes aren't in the final build. Capcom need interesting characters for their DLC. No one would spew out dollars for heroes like Super Skrull and Modok.

[zero_cool]

Modok is a really lame character id rather see ghost rider or green goblin in the game.

[RockmanII7]

Why do so many people hate on Super Skrull? Sure he isn't as famous as Spiderman or Dr. Doom but at least give him a chance. He has all of the powers of the Fantastic 4, why be mad that he got in over one when he has that one's power plus more. If Human Torch was in, we would have 3 fire based people (Phoenix and Dormammu being the others) and if we got another heavy I would rather it be Juggernaut than The Thing. Just my opinion, w/e, but I'm glad SS got in the game.
