Subject: Marvel Vs Capcom 3! 1/6 Haggar and Pheonix (marvel)
Anung Un Rama wrote:We knew Haggar was on his way, but I'm not too happy abput Phoenix. Because that would be another point to the rumor that Frank didn't make the cut.
IIRC correctly someone mentioned frank aint in becuase they cant get his speed right (too weak when slow, too op when fast, how they cant get a middle or lower attack power idk)
Also Akuma (ugh at least the other "copy" characters have hugely different movesets) is pretty much confirmed

Gobbo is Decomfrimed. The comic was showing Super Skrull I believe. Venom is pretty much not going to happen for base game if the rumors are true, some really reliable person (who predicted EXACT movesets on the new characters like Haggar for some credibility) Not only that but Venom would make a very reliable money getter for dlc (sad but true, megaman is another story though since we already have arthur, zero, and ammy)
Last few characters for base game if I can recall based on the predictions would be Akuma (already leaked pic), Hsien-Ko, Taskmaster, Sentinel, and Galaticus (I think even though hes the size of buildings). There may be more or less, cant remember the exact predictions

Fair enough, though who is Hsien-Ko? Never heard of him.
Also, just thinking about it, Nero really has to be a DLC character down the line. His Exceed Gauge really sets him apart, his Devil Bringer gives him a good throw range, and his Devil Trigger is just like Zero's Shadow move, where he doubles himself for a little bit.
Also, I hope they leave out Mega, and put in Bass. The Megaman EXE version of Bass, he was a bad ass. Or Vile, though his Rider Armor would make him act wierd with some of his combos.
Also, in The Phoenix's Video, we see Captain Blue skin for Viewtiful Joe, and Black Dante, which I never remember seeing in his games...

I really, really wish they had left the 6 button control scheme in. It's shaping up to be interesting but I'd trade it all for an 8 bit game with a traditional control scheme.
Worship me.

But think of the non Sex Mod members of Dakka!
Three buttons is simplier than Six buttons, which means more non gaming girl friends will play it

They are doing a Fan Vote for DLC, and currently Capcom is being won buy Phoenix Wright with 90 Votes, Vergil (DMC series) with 84 Points, and Megaman X with 83 points. Marvel is being won by: Gambit with 109 Votes, Venom with 100 votes, and Psylocke with 70 Votes.
I figured I would let you guys know so you can go vote if you want to, Linky:
Is there actually the possibility of new characters as DLC? I thought they couldn't do that without destroying the balancing.
Not that I would care much about that. I'm terrible at fighting games anyway.
But yes, Phoenix Wright please.

I honestly don't know, but I figured it couldn't hurt to link a Vote that they plan to send in.

Yes, but DLC that is announced before the games comes out always smells a bit fishy. I wouldn't be surprised if those two hadn't been planned from the start.
I don't want to be a whiny fanboy, but I just love Phoenix Wright and it would be hilarious to see him in a fighting game. And, if he comes as DLC, they won't have to struggle to explain him in the story.

I've done nothing but bitch this thread, and these kind of comments are the reason. It's a FIGHTING GAME. In MvC2 (arguably the best 2d tournament fighter ever) there were 2 cutscenes of story. The first MvC tried a little harder, but yeah still not much else. Capcom has been so inconsistent story-wise it's not even funny (Charlie's dead! - no wait, Charlie is Shadow! No, Charlie is dead AND Charlie is Shadow, in the same game... wtf?). Why do they need 2 planned already? This is seriously stupid. Each game should be the best that it can be, especially talking fighting games. MvC3 is pretty much 4th edition DnD when it comes to fighting games, except for some reason there's not tons of unreasonable outrage towards it.

That's because Capcom are a bunch of idiots, Donte (or for those of you who don't frequent those forums, Dante's Reboot) has shown us this.
Personally, I like my fighting games to have at least a background story, like the first Mortal Kombat: Everyone is being put into a fighting tourney to determine who the strongest warrior on earth is. Simple, Easy to go by, and your motivation is clear. Likewise, my fighting game that I am planning on doing has a similar short and sweet storyline: Humanity left Earth to settle on different planets, Everyone started fighting over who would claim Earth, they realized that this was destroying the planet they wanted to keep safe, and so set up a tourney every five years that the winning warriors planet would "own" Earth for that time until the next tourny.
As for DLC, I know I have stated this, but I really, really, REALLY want Venom and Nero. Venom, because it's Venom, and Nero because he would bring alot to the table.

Also, with Nero in the game I could field a DMC-only team.
And as far as I know Capcom really wants this game to have a story. At least more then the 2nd game had. Let's just hope it's more interesting than Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe:
"I am filled with unexplainable RAGE!"

I just think he would be interesting because he has a lot going for him: A long reach with his Devil Bringer, which could be used like Bionic Commanders arm (grab people and pull them closer), his Devil Trigger would be like Zero's shadow move, where he copies himself for additional attacks, and then his Exceed Gauge could be worked in some how.

Akuma is well, akuma (the Ganadorf to Captain Falcon)
Looks like our predictor has been correct 100%. I guess we can expect Hsien-Ko (not to mention there is an achievement for having an all Darkstalkers team) and Sentinel

I don't know a lot about Taskmaster. Can anyone recommend some good stories with him?
You could read where he first appeared although I never read it myself and its pretty old
He's a reoccurring side character in Deadpool's story. Deadpool Classics Vol 2 has his infamous defeat at the hands of Deadpool since hes to random. Cable and Deadpool #36 has Deadpool breaking Taskmaster out of a prison car I think just so deadpool could stage a fight between them to sell his merc qualities. He was apart of Dark Reign so you could look into that. He also has his Udon run although its quite different. Delves in his past and gives him a very "street" costume. It leads up to his encounters with Agent X

But it now appears that this was really just a cover story, as West was in the game up until fairly recently. Not only did West appear in promotional material - he was even going to be in one of the cinematic trailers - but he was practically finished when the decision was made to drop him. Niitsuma said that West's moves had proven to be a sticking point, and the development team had found it harder than expected to get them working. The team felt that the resources needed to iron out the kinks would have been better spent elsewhere, and so West got axed.
