I hope SRK or eventhubs posts and in depth look at wesker. The gameplay videos so far are ass and he looks like a character who has the potential to be a nightmare.

Link ---> Marvel vs Capcom 3: Ultimate Character Guide

Not too long ago, I was watching a television show on video game addiction and how hardcore MMO players lose their jobs and girlfriends -- and how their life was pretty much ruined because of the game. I sat there thinking "Pshh, that will never happen to me." Then I played Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.

Since first touching the game I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. There is so much to explore and test out, that once you get a taste of what is possible, it just leads to so much more. This is mainly due to the fact that in this game, when you have an idea in your head for a combo or set up and try it out in the game, in most cases, it will actually work. With this sense of freedom, it's really difficult to put the game down because you just keep thinking about what you can do next.

More than that, the game just feels extremely responsive and smooth. I had my doubts that a 3D fighting game could feel so quick and snappy, but Capcom certainly proved me wrong with this one. Out of all the recent fighting games, MVC3 already feels the most like the old school 2D fighters in terms of control and responsiveness.

[DomePatrol]

I can see strider in as DLC somewhere down the line. Theres a pretty big push around the interwebs trying to get strider in someway some how.

Galactus is a LOT bigger than that.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Him?!

 

Galactus is a LOT bigger than that.

I thought it was underwhelming as well.

 

[JayDizzle]

I thought it was underwhelming as well.

I will applaud Capcom for using bullshit super moves and a boss who requires you to be inhuman on the sticks to beat.

But yeah, they could have done better.

The Official Arcade Fight Stick

The Official Arcade Fight Stick

Every major Capcom fighting game release since Street Fighter IV has seen a super sexy Tournament Edition Arcade FightStick from Mad Catz, and Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is no exception.

Fighting fans know the drill by now. The Tournament Edition Arcade FightStick is a lovely piece of arcade technology, featuring Sanwa Denshi components housed in a Vewlix-style cabinet. They are probably the closest players will come to replicating the arcade experience short of building or buying their own arcade cabinet.

How is the Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 stick for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 different? It features some fancy custom artwork featuring characters from both sides of the fight, and it's limited to only 5,000 units.

With only 5,000 units up for grabs, I'd keep $159.99 handy and one eye focused on the Mad Catz online store as the February 15 release date rapidly approaches.

The red outline on it throws it off for some reason. It could have done without that.

MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 Ready to Take You For a Ride This Month

There's only two weeks left until the retail release of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and the game is ready to ship. With so short time left, we sat down with the retail build of the game and Capcom's Seth Killian to hear a little more about how the game came to be, why the characters you see made the cut, and what to expect when it all comes to a head.

The first thing you should do in the game, says Killian, is "pick your characters that you are gonna have fun with." He didn't recommend any in particular, because "every character in this game has juice." Seeing the game in action, and getting hands-on time with twelve different characters in it, that became abundantly clear from the start.

We played around in the training mode for awhile, something else Killian recommends to start with so you can "feel out" the characters and see which fighting styles you like best. A character like M.O.D.O.K. "isn't gonna be a big hand to hand guy," due to the, well, small limbs. "Characters like M.O.D.O.K. and Dormammu are more technical guys, like Dhalsim, to use a Street Fighter analogy."

As for who to expect in the game, the full starting character list has been revealed, but why did someone like Taskmaster make it in when Hawkeye (who Taskmaster borrows some moves from here) didn't?

"Taskmaster was actually a Marvel request!" Killian explained. "Capcom came with a list, Marvel came with a list, then my job, I was kinda the voice of the fans, kind of a third list."

With so many to choose from, they had to narrow down based on practicality.

"When you look at characters like Ghost Rider, and Iron Fist, and Black Panther, those are great characters but it's the backstory that makes them. From a gameplay point of view they're all just punchy dudes. We didn't want you to be able to say, 'this guy is just another one of this guy but a little faster or with a different fireball'. So that was the final pass" that Capcom took off the Marvel list.

"So Taskmaster wound up pretty fun cause we could take a little from a lot of characters. Super Skrull was another that came up like that, we originally had all of the Fantastic Four on the roster, and coming up with gameplay for Invisible Woman was, you know..."

After they all argued about the characters, Marvel checked licenses and they went to work on the game. You have big characters like Captain America and Spider-Man, but also some surprises like the return of Shuma Gorath and the debut of Wolverine's female clone X-23.

X-23 was one of the big surprises gameplay wise, as she is way more than just a smaller, faster Wolverine. Her super moves in particular are much more vicious and "trained assassin" oriented. The first time you dive at an enemy and stab down from above, stabbing claws into his neck, you'll have no doubt why little Laura is on the roster.

Other Marvel characters like Phoenix have surprises up their sleeves as well; if you get low on health, Jean goes trademark crazy and turns into Dark Phoenix, unleashing stronger attacks on her foes. Thor is more resilient than Storm, though she unleashes a wider variety of elemental attacks. Sentinel is huge and hulking and Spider-Man is lithe and actually looks/plays like a human spider.

The gameplay is easy to jump into, just like the decade-old MVC2 was, but the depth in this is superior in every way. Five levels of the super bar, incredible tag-in-tag-out three character combos, new breaks, counters, and even some combos that are intimidating to think about. Dante from Capcom's Devil May Cry for example has a combo of 40-something supermoves, putting you into the 100s of hits. Those massive supermoves are one of the absolute highlights of the game; it's just so satisfying seeing Captain America strap his shield to his back and get in there down-and-dirty, taking these other "fighters" to school, or seeing Deadpool break the fourth wall, realising he's in a video game and attacking with the power bars on the screen.

As for the big bad? While it was leaked online, we won't exactly spoil that here, but when it's the "Fate of Two Worlds," you need a World-destroying threat. "The last game, you'd get to the end and just have 'thanks for playing' so we wanted this one to be bigger. We wanted an epic ending, an epic final battle, and we think we have it."

There is DLC on the way, but other than the already announced Jill Valentine in her Battlesuit costume (Killian cautions, she has "zero in common" with MVC2 Jill) and the aforementioned Shuma Gorath, Capcom is remaining silent on other future updates for the moment, while the development team takes a much-deserved vacation.

For those that might wonder what the point of hiring a comic book writer like Frank Tieri for a fighting game, Killian said it was mostly to "keep it real."

"Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was a legendary fighting game, with all these fantastic Marvel characters and the worst endings of all time."

After a brief distraction provided by M.O.D.O.K. being stomped on by a bunch of cat people (seriously), Killian continued.

"Frank basically has been coming up with good ideas for the story, and on the Marvel side really making sure we got the endings right. He also came up to speed on the Capcom side, and I think he got a kick out of having a bunch of new guys and a whole new universe of characters to play with."

The endings will feature comic book panels to finish off the story, but don't forget, that's after that big epic ending.

With only two weeks until release, we did get the last big question answered as well. Seth, is "Take you for a ride," the amazing theme from MVC2 in this game?

"Oh, it's in there. We have a bunch of remixes of it too."

RipTen Brings a Tournament Veteran to Test Out Marvel vs. Capcom 3 – And He Loves It (VIDEO)

However, Seth was thrilled to see Joe and be able to show MvC3 to someone who could really appreciate it. This was one of the first times anyone outside of Capcom has been able to sit down with training mode – and Joe took full advantage of it. Seth was also more than happy to offer up his wisdom and knowledge along the way. After spending some quality time with MvC3 – Joe gives us his impressions about the characters he played and what he thinks about the game itself.
