    • Strider Hiryu. Capcom's poll for best character of the Marvel vs. Capcom and Street Fighter games has him in third place, only surpassed by Mega Man and Poison. He's been in only a handful of games, a short and relatively unremarkable manga, and nothing else, getting something of 4% of the votes. This might not sound like much, but since there's 111 different voting options and most everyone with 3% or 4% have appeared much more frequently and are more mainstream. This probably has to do with his appearances in the previous Marvel vs. Capcom games, where he was one of the favorite characters of many a fan.
      • Fan demand was the factor in Capcom deciding to strike another deal with Moto Kikaku over his copyright status to get Hiryu into Ultimate MvC3 after he skipped out on the vanilla edition.
    • To a lesser extent, Ruby Heart and Amingo from 2 were popular enough to merit a few cameos over the years. Not bad, all things considering.
    • Shuma-Gorath, oddly enough. A surprising amount of people were happy to see him return (even if it is as DLC).
    • There's been a lot of clamor to get Captain Commando and Jin Saotome into MvC3, even if it's DLC.
    • Psylocke, Gambit, and Venom are recurring mentions on polls for characters fan want to see in MvC3, almost always (if not always) ranking in the Top 5. For more details, see the respective YMMV pages for X-Men: CotA, XvsSF, and MvC1.
