Why Marvel vs Capcom 3's Final Roster Is Perfect

The thing about fan-service in games is that, over time, if you as a developer give in to the demands that any fan base makes, there's a likelihood that the game series will start to suck. It's because most gamers only have a general idea of what they enjoy in a title, only a small inkling of what actually makes the game fun. Most gamers in general, if asked, would demand the same characters over and over again only because they don't realize anything different is out there. When left unexposed to any new possibilities, gamers will happily demand 'more of the same but better', a staple demand that often times cannot realistically be met. So taking a look at MvC3, a game that has literally been in demand for somewhere close to a decade, you always have to wonder if Capcom and Marvel are making the right choices.

Perfect as it is, I'll still jump for joy at the thought of Doc Ock being a possible entry to the series via DLC.

[Hardedge]

I'm still left wondering why Stryder was left out.

[mephman]

He's so awesome he'd just destroy everyone.

[Hardedge]

Exactly!

Although I guess that explains why he was left out :( I hope they add him through DLC or something.

[mephman]

I'm a bit disappointed that they took Frank West out of the initial line-up. He should be added later though, so that makes up for it.

[ShawnCollier]

From what I heard, it sounded like they had issues with meshing in his moveset in the game.

a lot of games releases get pushed back for those kind of things...same thing should have happened with mvc3, but now hell be dlc and get a bit more money for it :S

[Selyah]

Looks pretty awesome.

vergil>trish jus common sense

[Michael-Jackson]

Capcom wanted more female characters.

[kornbeaner]

I like the cast, I like the game, I just don't like the play style. Zoning character are rewarded so much in this game. I wanted a rush down type game where heavy zoning was discouraged in favor of in your face constant action but no, if you can master a zoning game you can lame out a win. I'll keep playing for the time being but hopefully MK9 will be a blast.

whattt this is the worst roster ever made

[Myst]

I thought it was okay, I mean I was able to make do with what I was given. Still scratching my head at some of the inclusions, but hey the game is already out and sitting in my ps3. What else can one do.

[Kioran]

The dog is the best

[maniacmayhem]

Now if they can only fix those online options. The nrve of Capcom releasing such a limited and broken online lobby is unforgivable.

[wedgie]

At the same time, she hulk and hulk? X23 and Wolverine? I feel that those character slots could have been allocated a little bit better.

And it kind of stinks when my favorite "fun" team of Cyclops, Gambit, and Iceman is completely left out of this game.

[Tony-Red-Grave]

try dante,deadpool, and idk whoever

[Myst]

She-hulk's grabs are great though for starting combos. Where as they are designed to be similar in the comics they at least have their different fighting styles.

[Hardedge]

Yea I'm disappointed Cyclops and Gambit didn't make the cut. But I guess it'll become too much like MvC2.

[Stealth20k]

lol its anything but perfect.............its mediocre

[Toman85]

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is a blast to play!
Got it yesterday and already getting hanging on the moves and combos!

[RockmanII7]

I can't call it perfect because it left out Megaman. I'm almost surprised that Venom didn't get in over Spiderman. Still I think it's better than MvC2's in terms of overall quality. Yes, MvC2 had Gambit and Strider, but it also had Spiral, Roll, and Amingo. MvC3 has very few throwaway characters compared to MvC2.
