How to unlock all Marvel vs. Capcom 3 characters

VGB: When you first play Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, the character select screen only shows 32 out of the 38 playable characters in the versus fighting game for Xbox 360 and PS3. Aside from describing where and how to unlock the 6 hidden ones (although 2 are DLC), it'll also be shown on video.

I never understood why the capcom vs. games have always had big giant monsters as the final boss. they're so unlike anything else you face that there not gonna help you get better at the game and they're annoying to face....

edit:also I unlocked characters way faster just by playing the multiplayer....

[thehitman]

there not meant to help u get better at the game really its suppose to just be a hard challenge at the end. You have to face real people to get better at the game no AI will do that for you.

Edit:@ dark thats not teaching you to become good its just teaching you how to play period. Knowing how to play the game and being good at it are not the same. No matter how strong/good the AI is u can play it all day but if you face someone real they could destroy you easily.

[Darkfocus]

not really even while playing AI you learn what there moves look like and how to dodge them or when you should block. It also helps you figure out new combos.

I agree with thehitman here. For instance, Street Fighter 4. I can dominate the AI on the hardest difficulty with many characters. Then i'll take my best character online and just get torn to shreds most of the time. People don't mess around in fighters, they take that shit seriously and they are the most competitive games and gamers out their.

"AI you learn what there moves look like and how to dodge them or when you should block."

Not against fighting game bosses .

You mentioned vs games , but name one fighting game franchise without cheap and overpowered bosses ?
KoF was easily the biggest "offender" at that .. and even stuff like virtua fighter and tekken got those .

[Arnagrim]

Dural whipped me so many times throughout the Virtua Fighter series. I mean, she wasn't uber-crazy-cheap like KoF bosses or Seth in SF4, but because it's a more realistic fighter with no ranged attacks and the fights are all at close quarters it's pretty much impossible to exploit AI behavior patterns or "cheese" your way through a fight with certain tactics.

[BiggCMan]

What I find ridiculous is that you only need to unlock 6 characters to complete the roster. I don't remember the exact amount in MvC2 but it was a shit load more than 6, and they took quite a while as well. Game still looks good though, i'll rent it some time down the road.

[FACTUAL evidence]

mvc2 had 56...this game has....uuugh...30 something...I can't believe I'm buying this day 1 still.

[RockmanII7]

How many of those 56 characters were actually good and widely used?

[silvacrest]

you can say the same thing about the 36 characters you unlock as well, alot of them are junk too

[PirosThe4th]

the worst thing is that 2 dlc characters on launch... thats a freaking disgrace... i am not buying that shit... less characters for more cost...
I know it has new characters but there is no reason to take out the old ones...
i would have been happier if this game had been 3d backgrounds and 2d sprites in hd like blazblue....

- Log into XBL/PSN

- Deposit money from credit card into account

- Purchase overpriced characters that should have been there in the first place

- ???

- Profit...Wait, no. I'm pretty sure Capcom is the one profiting.

[RockmanII7]

... It's supposed to be 4 steps, not 5. And is $5 for 2 characters really overpriced considering that the Soul Caliber 4 DLC characters were $5 for each one.

[VenomProject]

I needed an extra step. This is CapCON we're talking about after all.

Also, yes, $5 for two characters is overpriced. $5 for THREE characters is overpriced.
