My Thoughts on Marvel vs Capcom 3.

Today I talk about some of the characters from Marvel vs Capcom 3.


Marvel vs Capcom 3 will release on Feb 15 and there's no doubt about it I will purchase this game the day it comes out. However it's not all peaches and cream with MvC3 as I do have some complaints about the character selection. As of this writing 2 new characters have been announced: Akuma and Taskmaster. Also note that there are a total of 34 character with 2 DLC characters bringing to total count to 36 compared to the 56 on Marvel vs Capcom 2.

My first complaint about the character selection is the choice of character Capcom chose for it's rosters. I'm not saying they're all bad but some are questionable. The characters that I think shouldn't be there are: She-Hulk, Arthur, Trish and Viewtiful Joe.She-Hulk plays is a mirror character and plays the same as Hulk. I think she could of easily been swapped out with Venom. Trish is also another questionable character because you she's not a mainstream character in the DMC series. She was missing in DMC 2,3 and only appeared in a few scenes in DMC 4 which brings me to the next questionable character Viewtiful Joe. Viewtiful Joe has not been in any other games besides Tatsunoko vs Capcom since the Gamecube/PS2 days. His play style in TvC also sucks which brings into question as to why Capcom would decide to add him to the roster.

My other complain is the availability of DLC characters. I know that it is a huge money maker for game developers but why not add them to the roster instead of forcing gamers to pay extra for the collectors edition in order to get them for free or pay a month later when they are released. Jill and Shura-Gomath are already announced and will be available as a day 1 download to gamers who purchase the collectors edition of the game which isn't bad since it's only $10 more than the regular game.

I was excited when they announced Zero as a playable character but No MegaMan X or even MegaMan but Tron Bone is on the roster.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 may be around the corner but it's still unknown what Capcom plans to do with the game. Of course there will be DLC characters but what characters are still unknown. It is possible that one day we will have a 70+ character roster. Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be available on Feb 15 for PS3 and Xbox 360.
