So does anyone have a list of the current characters now? I kinda forgot some of the other previous ones lol.

Marvel has stated that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is "all about fan service"

Niitsuma has been asked if he plans on releasing the game on other consoles besides the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, in which he responded that if the game sells well, there is a possibility that it might be released on the Nintendo Wii as well.

Ah, Shinkuu Hadouken can now be angled?

Hopefully Ryu'll finally be of use in this one, and even better, replace Cyclops' role from MvC2 as the most versatile battery (I doubt it though)

Finally, versatility on Capcom's presumably most popular character.

TWO NEW CHARACTERS CONFIRMED!

C. Viper for Capcom and Storm for Marvel. Neither are particularly surprising, nor exciting. But hey, always nice to have more girls.

First post also updated with hi-res artwork for some people. Like Jill and Shuma-Gorath.

Depends on what you're looking for, actually. I, for one, find that the difficulty of mastering Magneto is one thing that makes it fun; people around my arcade already know I use Magneto, but they do know I'm still one of the Magneto beginners even after such a long time. It's just that difficult to use the master of pringles...

The main thing that comes out of mastering Magneto is being able to stroke your curleh mustache with pride.

Isn't $60 the "normal" price for current-gen non-Wii games?

And

I WAS PLAYING THE GAME THIS MORNING FOR AROUND 90 MINTUES

I was pretty noisy around the PS3 rentals babbling about terminologies unique to MvC, and complaining how I was having a hard time using the new control scheme and the REALLY ODD method of tagging out...

Anyway, the image on the CD is just Ryu and Iron Man. Couldn't take a picture of it right now since I'm in school.

So far, I am comfortable using MagnetoA - AmaterasuB. Magneto on point is still as fast as hell, but the lack of a reliable triangle jump (new game frame mechanics kinda orz'd that technique) is kinda hindering my attempts at effective rushdown. However, AmaterasuB's Cold Star assist is so awesome for holding down the opponent in place, making for an effective mix up provided that she doesn't get hit when she spits out the first bead. Since Cold Star pretty much keeps the opponent grounded if it hits, you can follow up an easy combo of Low-Low-Mid-High-Launch, which is the big main difference with Magneto as he now can execute more than 2 normals on the ground.

Catching opponents for a TAC (Team Aerial Combo) is really fun provided that you actually hit the TAC hit. TAC's somehow build meter like LOLFAST, and if I end the TAC with Magneto's flying screen, I can OTG with Gravity Squeeze for LOLDAMAGE with minimal effort! I am having trouble OTGing for the other characters though, since only specific moves OTG.

How about trying Amaterasu on point? Well, here's my say on it: if you don't have enough time to practice Amaterasu, don't even bother using her on point just yet; it takes quite an amount of memory to realize the potentials of each weapon. She's not an easy character to use, and I've been trying to do an OTG+Thunder Edge+Divine Instruments combo for like, FOREVER and it's still not going well! But I think that my main problem would probably be the fact that Ammy's OTG for the glaives is actually a DownForward+Heavy Normal Attack, which I'm kinda not used in doing. However, it perfectly OTGs out of a flying screen after executing the aerial combo, which somehow can be followed up with a Thunder Edge. I've been only successful so far as linking the DFStab, but I'm having trouble linking it with a Thunder Edge, not to mention I'm aspiring to hit with Divine Instruments after, and possibly DHC into Magnetic Tempest.

I also unlocked all the 4 locked characters with 3 plays, so I gave out Magneto-Storm-Sentinel a try. My reaction? lolsentinel. His stats are so high and his moves are pretty easy to execute, even new guys will have no problem competing when using Sentinel; just as long as you can properly connect your Rocket Punches, Sentinel Forces, and Hyper Sentinel Forces properly, you'll be dealing insane amounts of damage in such a short time.

I'm looking at trying out Dante when I get more time, because undoubtedly the difficulty in using him is probably the HIGHEST among all the characters; what, with 30+ Special moves and all, it'd take an immense amount of studying to pull this off.

MvC2 Storm users will be pretty frustrated at the new implementation of height in this game; the hitwindow for an aerial Low-Low-Mid is so strict, it's not even funny and my combo suddenly shortens to Low-Mid-High-FlyingScreen, and I can't even make Low-Mid-High-Lightning Attack-Lightning Storm connect properly. I was getting frustrated at it. Whirlwind-Hailstorm also doesn't combo anymore as casting Hailstorm removes the Whirlwind off the field. Storm, however, has a substitute for Triangle Jumping called the Reverse Jump, which so far I only see Storm being able to do; it requires abusing her float in order to quickly 'jump' downward, so an input of Up-Up+Heavy will actually act similar to a Triangle Jump+Heavy Kick, then the hitstun will allow you to do a normal ground combo. Rushdown powers complete? Oh, and L3 X-Factor + Hailstorm = lolchip damage. It's even scarier if it actually hits.

Speaking of big damage, let's talk about Sentinel again. He has one of the fastest wave dashes which makes me lol, and THANK GOD his flying speed and potency was reduced majorly. Due to his slow speed, I'm having some sort of trouble even completing his basic combo of L-M-H-Launch-*some air combo*-FlyingScreen-Rocket Punch (L, OTG)-Hyper Sentinel Force-Relaunch. But when I learn it though, I'll try maining him for a while that I'm trying to practice other characters.

Felicia. I am becoming pretty frustrated at the confusing combo system here; shoryuken.com says that she can link a full Low-Low-Mid-Mid-High launch, which apparently I'm having trouble with; I just reduce it to low-Mid-Mid-High-Launch. AND THE FACT THAT PLEASE HELP ME IS NOW A CLOSE RANGE ATTACK MAKES ME RAGE FOR sh*t. I'm also not sure if it still OTGs, but a Rolling Buckler H-H in theory should combo of of it... haven't actually tried though. However, if anything to love on Felicia, it's Kitty's Little Helper. Use a catastrophic assist such as Ammy B or Doom-Y, use a Light attack to make the helper jump and attack high, then cancel your light attack with a Crawl in hopes for a cross up AND an unblockable! Felicia is the only character that can set up an unblockable on her own, and I think THAT's the main reason many would want to use her competitively.

Fighting Galatcus: THAT f*ckING DAMAGE. You need to keep the most composurewhen fighting Galactus because one mistake could literally take out one of your guys immediately, especially when Galactus is at critical life. You have to establish what the specialty of your fighter is and stay in the appropriate range; if you're using a combofiend like Magneto, you'd best want to stay in front of his face most of the time, and be ready to block. If using a keep away like Chris, just keep shooting from the other side of the screen, jumping and blocking like required. Magneto, Akuma, and Sentinel in particular are pretty fun to use against Galactus for Magnetic Tempest, (Air)Shinkuu Messatsu Gohadou, and Hyper Sentinel Force respecitvely will almost ALWAYS hit all the time. Using Sentinel with X-Factor Level 3 and hitting Galactus with even just 1 Hyper Sentinel Force does some LOLDAMAGE as the 9 rockets will almost always hit.

I'll be sticking to MagnetoA-AmmyB for now, and will probably switch my 3rd char depending on who I see best; right now I'm actually using Magneto-Ammy-Sentinel for the sheer comfort that I'm having with them. Looking forward to using Felicia-Ammy-Doom sometime though, or Iron Man-Doom-Magneto. Maybe do something with Storm. Then my ultimate goal is to master Dante.

CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY AGAIN AAAAAAAA

It was also kinda fun since a lot of MvC2 pros were watching me. Well, I was the guy that brought the MvC3 disc over to the rentals, and because of that they actually gave me 3 free hours which I plan to use on Friday ahahahaha! And when I finally used Magf*ckineto-Storm-Knicks, we were all like "IS MAHVEL BAYBEE" all over the place as the team still functions pretty well, though the potency of Sentinel's Rocket Punch assist is kinda orz compared to its potency in MvC2. Still, I specifically picked the colors to be Mag-f*ckin-neto and Mango Sentinel just for even more lulz. I was also frequently Making It Rain. You can pretty much imagine how noisy the place was; and I was kinda both proud and nervous by the fact that I was the one on the controller. The guys probably already have my Gravity Squeeze combos memorized already though... it won't be long before they master Magneto, I guess...

HOLY HELL CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY AGAIn
