== Guesses on the ''MvC3'' roster. ==
* From sillouettes from the trailer and promotional materials (bolded means confirmed):
** Marvel: '''[[Captain America (comics)]]''', '''[[Doctor Doom]]''', '''[[Doctor Strange|Dormammu]]''', '''[[Deadpool]]''', '''[[Fantastic Four|Super Skrull]]''', '''[[The Mighty Thor|Thor]]'''
** Capcom: '''[[Darkstalkers|Felicia]]''', '''[[Street Fighter|Chun-Li]]''', '''[[Dead Rising|Frank West]]''' (definitely '''[[Resident Evil|Albert Wesker]]'''), '''[[Devil May Cry|Dante]]'''
*** Those guesses seem to be right. Additionally, the mysterious female above Deadpool in the promo art [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=33040&id=103866276322773 is most likely] '''[[Devil May Cry|Trish]]''', while the game's [http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/apr/17/all-official-marvel-vs-capcom-3-works/ official announcement] also says that '''[[X-Men|Storm and]]''' '''[[X-Men|Magneto]]''' will be making a reappearance, so fans of ''2'' can rejoice that two of the [[Fan Nickname|Four]] [[Game Breaker|Gods]] are returning.
Line 8:
*** [http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np5/mvc3-e3fix.jpg This new promo poster from E3] seems to heavily affirm Super Skrull, Dr. Doom, Frank West, and Trish. Your guess is as good as mine on who that fifth guy on the far right (next to Deadpool) is.
* [[Daredevil]], [[X-Men|Emma Frost]], [[God Hand|Gene]], '''[[Ghost Rider]]''', [[The Punisher]], and '''[[Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright]]''' have officially been [http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8429873 jossed.] But hey, it's still possible that we'll get DLC, right?
** Ugh, I hope so. I said if Daredevil and Ghost Rider didn't make the cut I would eat my hat. Also [[Killer Seven|Mask de Smith]], I was absolutely positive he would be in there.
** Ditto for the [[Fantastic Four]]. The Super Skrull is in the game in their place.
** And forget about seeing characters from ''[[Rival Schools]]'' and ''[[Power Stone]]''.
Line 27:
** Actually, there is actually a good chance of Strider Hiryu coming back and he plays differently from Dante anyway.
*** Dante gets another special that involves a giant ball of energy circling him. Hmm, sounds similar.
*** Not really and they're still different enough to co exist.
**** Strider Hiryu deconfirmed! http://twitter.com/Ryota_Niitsuma/status/28517821235 ""I know that Strider Hiryu is popular overseas. This time around, the concept of the game is different, so we did not consider him." Sad day indeed. Overshadowed by the release of Zero.
***** His deconfirmation is now invalid as of the announcement of [[Updated Rerelease|Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3]].
* A new silhouette seems to indicate '''[[Street Fighter IV|Crimson Viper]]''' might make the cut.
* I'm seeing a distinct lack of Capcom villains. I'm gonna put a vote in for [[Mega Man (video game)|Bass]] and M. Bison. Bonus points if he says [[Memetic Mutation|OF]] [[Ascended Meme|COURSE!!]]
** Bass is more of a [[Anti-Hero]]. If you want a ''Mega Man'' villain, there's always Dr. Wily, Splash Woman, [[Mega Man X|Sigma, Vile]], [[Mega Man Zero|Omega or Dr. Weil.]]
** Bringing up Capcom villains and not mentioning [[Resident Evil|Wesker]]? For shame.
*** Albert Wesker is in, baby. And he's awesome.
* These two are never going to happen, but having The Smith Syndicate from ''[[Killer 7]]'' and Scrooge McDuck would be amazing.
* Scrooge? For [[Disney]]? Nah, get someone cooler like [[Lilo and Stitch|Stitch]]!
** There won't be any Disney character though. That said, they can always use Marvel's own Howard The Duck or Even Slapstick of the New Warriors.
* The Episode 3 Trailer might introduce returning "Gods" Magneto and Storm. As well as Mega Man (and Roll, possibly).
** Doubt Roll will be back if Mega Man classic returns. If anything, it might be Mega Man classic and [[Mega Man X|Zero]]. I'm also thinking it might be Storm with [[Black Panther]].
*** I was actually being general on which Mega Man it'll be. We know it isn't [[Mega Man X|X]], I don't think it'll be [[Mega Man Legends|Volnutt/Trigger]] due to Tron's return. I was thinking [[Mega Man Zero|Zero]] and [[Mega Man (video game)|Roll]] being the coverage finish. Roll's managed an underdog status getting into the last ''Vs.'' title. As for Black Panther... who knows, I just figured Magneto would be a solid un-reveal for a return.
* Unfortunate that Phoenix is unlikely to be in the game (he could be a good counterpart to Daredevil who isn't in either), but what about Franziska von Karma? Didn't ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'' have some data on her moves but dropped her entirely since Phoenix couldn't be added? I mean, with her [[Whip It Good|whip]] and skill, she definitely can be in a fighting game? And on a lesser note: Godot, he had a cool pose with the [[Sword Cane]] in the last case of the 3rd game.
** Heck, Franziska could be paired up with '''[[She Hulk]]''', their interactions would be comedy gold.
* Come on, people! [[Moon Knight]]! I'd also wager on Mega Man classic (Pre-''X''), Zero, either Akuma or M. Bison, and maybe Brock, the military guy from ''Dead Rising''. At least one psychopath should make it in... In fact, I doubt it, but how cool would it be if Adam the Clown made it in?!
** '''Akuma''' is unlikely since they are avoiding characters with similar moves. Bison is a possibility or maybe Urien from ''[[Street Fighter III]]''.
* Unfortunately, Phoenix is out. But what about his rival, Miles Edgeworth, who was [[Ensemble Darkhorse|popular]] enough to get his own game, which was different from the main games? Or what about Apollo Justice, if they're trying to bring in the new story that has started in the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' universe?
** How about Steel Samurai? Sure he's pretty obscure, but how about him squaring off with Silver Samurai?
*** Steel Samurai is a fictional character of a show in the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series, not really a candidate for the game. Silver Samurai won't be coming back anyway. If there's an AA character, it would be one of the other Attorneys or Maybe even Gumshoe. Or none at all for that matter.
* Before anyone asks, yes, the ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' franchise wasn't included--this time, though, we actually [http://www.dragon-tear.net/forum/showpost.php?p=253996&postcount=15 got a reason from Capcom for it] via [http://twitter.com/Ryota_Niitsuma/status/28520257938 a tweet from the development staff] (Japanese). Specifically, there were initial plans to include Fou-lu from ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'' but these were cut due to the ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' series being geared towards Western audiences; the developers would still like to include a certain draconic [[God-Emperor]] [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]] in a future [[Capcom vs. Whatever]].
** The interesting note here--that the planned cameo was from ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'' (which is literally a ten-year-old game) and ''not'' ''[[Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter]]''--whilst the latter game was most ''definitely'' a cause of a [[Broken Base]] outside of Japan (and has even been accused of being a [[Franchise Killer]]), it ''did'' do reasonably well in Japan and has a popular fandom. Capcom actually does seem to have been taking the semi-official view of disowning ''Dragon Quarter'' since about 2007 due to the poor reaction outside of the US.
** At any rate, any appearances of ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' chars are very likely to be with [[Capcom vs. Whatever]] games not geared primarily for Western audiences and probably featuring chars from ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'' or one of the earlier games in the franchise (barring mass fandom demand).
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vMlE2vEvm0 DLC has been confirmed], with '''[[Resident Evil|Jill Valentine]]''' and '''[[Doctor Strange|Shuma-Gorath]]''' as the first two available characters. The hopes and dreams of many a fan now run high.
* It was recently shown that a stage will be set in The Hand's lair, probably hinting that Elektra will make it in. Since all the Stages belong to a character.
* I'm not guessing here, just giving a new info: '''[[Street Fighter|Akuma]]''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA50TIXLk6I is quite likely confirmed, though not officially yet.]
** [[Mega Man X]] is highly likely to become a DLC. [http://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2Fshoryuken.com%2Fcontent%2Fjapan-s-top-55-most-requests-marvel-vs-capcom-3-dlc-characters-2594%2F&session_token=KegzazVqPkJBogYVE8_j0VsvioJ8MTI5NDU2MTUyNQ%3D%3D He's the freakin' #1 top contender for Capcom characters poll in Japan.]
Line 65:
== The Bone Claw Wolverine was a Skrull ==
That, or an LMD.
== [[Stan Lee]] and/or [[Memetic Mutation|Yipes]] will be the announcer(s) for ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3''. ==
It would be the ultimate form of [[Fan Service]]. Imagine the (co-)progenitor of many of Marvel's most recognizable faces actually [[Announcer Chatter|commenting on the ultimate battle]] and [[Catch Phrase|shouting out most of his most famous lines]].
"EXCELSIOR!!!" "Face front, true believers!" "'Nuff said!"
Do ''not'' deny it. You ''want'' this to happen.
Line 84:
** It was implied that the boss would a Marvel boss. Though it's possible there would be a Marvel boss and a Capcom boss (like ''[[Capcom vs. SNK Millennium Fight 2000|Capcom vs. SNK]]''.).
** [[The King of Fighters|WHAT IF IT'S RUGAL?]] Just kidding.
* Annihilus would also be a great choice.
* Mikaboshi from the Marvel Chaos War story would make a good final boss.
* It would be interesting to see [[Mega Man X|Sigma]] as the final boss, considering his loathing of organics and fascination for gigantic battle bodies.
** However, it seems Doom and Wesker release some kind of Sealed Evil in a can.
Line 96:
* Going by the recent trailer, it seems like the villains are are united. Maybe it's a new [[Legion of Doom|Lethal Legion]] Made of both Marvel and Capcom villains?
** But there's only (to date) 4 villains on the roster (5 depending on how Deadpool's feeling). [[Sarcasm Mode|That must be some alliance.]] Personally, I'd like to see something like the Dark Phoenix saga, however unlikely it may be.
*** Actually, the above post guessed correctly. It's been revealed that the story does indeed involve a Villain Team up. The story revolves around Doom and Wesker forming a team with villains from both sides. Also, the villain count is now up to six, now that MODOK and Magneto have been confirmed. We will probably get more villains soon.
**** Hopefully some Capcom villains, because so far it seems like Wesker and Doom are just gathering Marvel villains as their underlings or something.
** It's posible that some of the other villains show up in the story.
* I'm just hoping it'll offer some explanation for how [[Neutral Evil|Wesker]] can get someone like [[Lawful Good|Captain America]] or [[Neutral Good|Amaterasu]] to fight alongside him.
** Probably not, since they never bothered before. It doesn't really matter in gameplay anyway.
*** Gameplay and Storyline Segregation.
== The reason Spider-Man and Mega Man haven't shown up yet is because they're being saved for the last trailer. ==
They're Marvel and Capcom's most iconic characters, respectively. They're saving the best for last, so to speak.
