Marvel vs. Capcom 3

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Holy shit holy shit holy shit.

I think I just came.

[Black Majik]

1 - Captain America?

2 - Dr. Doom, maybe Ultimate Thor

3 - DEADPOOL <3

4 - Hawkeye?

5 - No clue. Would have said Magneto, but those shoulder pads tell me no.

1 - FELICIA <3

2 - Frank West

3 - C. Viper? Maybe... that girl from RE5. Forgot her name.

4 - Chun Li

5 - Albert Wesker? Maybe Dante.

Add those to the six confirmed (Hulk, Wolverine, Morrigan, Ryu, Ironman and Chris Redfield), plus 14+ to go (apparently there is going to be around 30 characters), and the game looks like it will kick some major ass. Deadpool alone has me sold, he was the one character I wanted in more than anybody else.

Holy shit holy shit holy shit.

I think I just came.

I saw the thread title, and decided to post the exact same thing. You win.

Deadpool, Iron Fist, Rogue, Gambit and Cyclops would be beyond awesome, to join Iron Man.

I'll see your and raise you a

Deadpool and Iron Fist ? Oh dear jeebus that'd be sweet.

[Skummy]

They had better put Phoenix Wright in this game.

[Redefine Sick]

I KNOW I came. 5 on Marvel looks kinda like Spawn, which isn't even a Marvel property. 5 on Capcom is definitely Dante, though.

NEEDS MOAR NIGHTCRAWLER.

The most recent issue of Game Informer has leaked out, and inside were some of the first actual gameplay details of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 along with the first in-game screenshots and some more confirmed characters.

From the sounds of it, those who played the most recent entry in the Vs. series, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, will feel right at home with Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. The title will be using the same control scheme as Tatsunoko vs. Capcom to try to remain more accessible, but moves like Hyper Combo Cancels, Snap Backs, and Assists remain fully intact.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will also features simplified launch attacks using a single button called the “Exchange Button.” These launch attacks can be countered if the other player successfully predicts the exact attack the player will be using.

Four more characters have been confirmed for the line up. Although in the past, they had been strongly hinted at. From the Marvel side, Dead Pool and Captain America were confirmed. On Capcom’s side, Dante and Felicia were confirmed as well.

Capcom also detailed some basic details for a couple of characters. Chris Redfield will use a Shotgun and a Shock Stick from Resident Evil 5. Dead Pool has a teleport move that starts to malfunction if it is overused.

A few more details were announced about Dead Pool that could make his move set fairly interesting. Dead Pool will have moves that will break the fourth wall. For example, Dead Pool can pull his own health bar from the top of the screen, and then beat his opponents with it.

You can check out the first leaked screen shots after the jump.

The bold has made this a first day buy for me.

Dante? As in, DMC? What the hell?

[King Ellis]

Dante? As in, DMC? What the hell?

You got Capcom franchises in my Marvel vs Capcom 3!

Wait a minute...

[Johnny Latino Heat]

I was planning on getting this already, but with Dante and Deadpool confirmed? I'm there!

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Double-post bumpety bump, with the first gameplay trailer.

This. Looks. AWESOME. But I may be biased

[TKz]

Deadpool shouting out BANG BANG with every shot fired is brilliant. I probably won't get this because I'm not really very good at these fast paced fighting games, but it looks awesome.

[Sousa]

Does green-haired Dalkstalkers succubus lady have any purpose other than fanservice at this point? Does anyone even remember the last Darkstalkers game?

[OctoberRaven]

YOU PRESSED THE WRONG BUTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

And yeah, pretty sure Morrigan is just 'there'. She'll probably still have her old sprite.

You know who'd be an AWESOME bonus character for Marvel side? Squirell Girl.

Wow... that hurt my head. I love these games, but I'll never be THAT good at them.

[stokeriño]

I love these games, but I'll never be THAT good at them.

Yup...it'll just be button-bashing from here to eternity. Though if I do get this game, I will not rest until I can lay waste with Cap.

Things I learned from that video: Dante is a fucking whore of a character.

[HailtotheYo]

What's with the robot-submarine-disco ball ?

Uh yeah, I'm with zero. No way in hell I'll ever be doing any of that, but as a button mashing fun way to waste some time ? Shit yeah.

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Apparently,

Dormammu

is the big bad in this one, as seen on the following video.

EDIT: Also, Morrigan stabbing Deadpool's ass? Dunno about you, but that made me laugh. And Dante vs Deadpool? Coolest fight in the video, hands down.

LOL too bad neither of them can hit from point blank range

and uh, from that little pose shot in the beginning, Wolverine's claws look two feet long
