Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3

[Nu-Eclipse]

bizzare thing is i think i actually prefer tatsunoko vs capcom to marvel vs capcom 3 while i am not that keen on the tatsunoko characters i just thought it had more to it....was more balanced....backgrounds looked better....far far far better endings ...and the baroque cancel worked a hell of a lot better then the xfactor (was not as damaging to

Couldn't agree more. TvC > MvC3 all day and every day.

I personally think it's clear for all to see that MvC3 hasn't had the most thought put into it, in the sense that it seems to have been cobbled together to mainly satisfy the fanboy lust for a third MvC game - a lust which (to my mind) only intensified when Capcom made it clear that TvC was staying Wii-exclusive, despite a pretty considerable call for it to be ported to 360 and PS3. MvC3 shares many similarities with TvC (control, gameplay structure, X-Factor for Baroque, etc.), but I do feel that it recreates quite a few of the mistakes made with MvC2 - no balance, some truly cheap infinites and horribly overpowered characters.

MvC3 has done absolutely nothing to change my opinion that MvC1 remains the best in the series hands-down, even though it clearly isn't as popular as the other two - it is by far the most balanced and measured vs. fighting experience, imho. I'd love to see MvC1 get a XBLA/PSN release to complete the trilogy but it's highly unlikely at this point.

All of that said...I'll probably pick up UMvC3 (sold my copy of MvC3), as I'm hoping that it'll be more balanced...but i'm not holding my breath.

Rocket Raccoon is in simply because he's a 'current' character

Really?! I remember Rocket Raccoon from years ago. I was young when reading it so could totally be rose-tinted glasses but I remember it being fantastic and very clever. But then for years it was like I had made it up - couldn't find any trace of its existence at all (along with one about crystal dudes versus magma people and also Machine Man, which then did turn up again eventually). I think they were all bundled in with UK Transformers or Zoids or something.

So they've brought Rocket Raccoon back?

I wonder if that means they've reprinted the original story? I'll have to check Google later.

I don't think there's any point in writing off characters before we see some gameplay. To my eyes, Rocket Racoon could play like BB Hood and should be entertaining if nothing else.

I'd much rather they push the boat out with the marvel inclusions then put MvC2 reworks in (venom - urgh, next someone will be begging for Carnage). The only disappointment from a personal POV is the lack of Gene. I was convinced we'd see him in some form.

Rocket Raccoon is in the current run of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' I think. Rumour is he plays a bit like Cable from MvC2.

Dangerous 3 - this is the second headline thread in as many days you've started where one already exists. Is the search broken or you just haven't looked?

Venom is a fan fav and very popular, most fans want Venom in the game.

Also- the current Venom/s in the comics are very different characters (both in appearance and abilities) compared to the 'Classic Venom' of MvC2. Eddie Brock who used to have the alien symbiote is now this big white thing called Anti-Venom who 'purify's' peoples powers, while 'Venom' is now Flash Thompson who works for the government to bring down bad guys and in his Venom guise looks like an SAS soldier.

Basically both current Venom's are totally different to the old one and would have been something fresh for MvC3 while still pleasing the fanboys.

The first was a mistake (Skyrim) which I asked to be deleted.
Not the end of the world

And there was no 'ULTIMATE' MvC3 thread before this one.
It's a separate game to MvC3, get over it.

Nemesis looks freakin? awesome.

Shame they aren?t including the DLC characters though - I refuse to pay for stuff that should already be in the game.

Rocket Raccoon was an early back-up strip in the Marvel UK Transformers comics, yes.

[FreelancePolice]

LOL, I know.
They're bringing him back in the comics so that's why were stuck with him.

I really think out of 12 new characters they could have at least given us two more prominent fan favs, such as a big Spider-Man baddie- Doc Ock / Green or HobGoblin / Venom and another Street Fighter.

Oh well, I'm still getting this.
I'll wait till it's under 20 quid tho.
December is all about Sonic Generations for me.

Pretty sure this is going to be roughly 20 quid anyway. It's a budget title like Super SFIV was. (quick check on amazon says ?24.99 but I'm sure it'll be more or less 20 when it comes out).

Disappointing cheevo list, it's basically identical to the one from MvC3.

[Fader209]

Ugh

Agreed
Mine will mainly be offline so I will miss a lot of achievements for this.

Next character unveilings will be a TGS. I reckon they'll do Phoenix Wright on the Capcom side, but no idea which of the Marvel ones they'll do. Hoping for Iron Fist next though...

[Flabio]

And Iron Fist it is, oh amd Vergil.

Iron Fist looks like he might even suit my playstyle. Blimey.

Confirmation of a Vita version as well.
