[Multiplatform] SHINKUUTETSUMAKISEMPUKYAKUU! - Marvel vs Capcom 3, now with more Iron Man

Also, I hope they can work out different costumes for the characters, ie. Symbiote Spider-Man, Wesker's S.T.A.R.S. uniform or Code: Veronica outfit, etc.

Yes, please. Alternate color schemes are well and good (Blazblue, as I recall, has at least 8-10 for each character), but different (unlockable?) outfits are always welcome. Customization similar to what's promised for Lost Planet 2 wouldn't be turned away, either.

If they did do alternate costumes, I think it'd be pretty amusing if one for Morrigan would be her old sprite, in keeping with Capcom's tradition of using the same sprite for Morrigan in every game she's ever been in.

That'd be an amusing nod, but the old sprite never really fit in the newer games. On a related note, I wonder if there's any official info on how tall Rock/Megaman, Roll, etc. are supposed to be - they always seemed too small in MvC2.

Lastly, some characters who I think should be considered for (eventual) inclusion on the roster:

• Protoman (if Megaman appears);
• the two leads (their names escape me at present) from Namco X Capcom (whose lack of a Stateside incarnation really has no excuse in my opinion);
• Bass (maybe w/Treble; again, conditional on appearance of Blue Bomber);
• Charlie/Nash (and Shadow variant; just for fun really);
• Carnage (especially if Venom shows up);
• Longshot (why not?);
• Deadpool (I can see the special intro for him and Spidey - the two engage in a brief duel of quips)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In fact, if they're going to bring back Strider Hiryu I'd like to see them go for a three-fer and bring in Strider Hien (from Strider 2 and Namco X Capcom) and (since Iron Man and - probably - War Machine are here too) the Boba Fett-analogue Solo.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This is pleasing to know, and could apply to another point you make a bit further down...

Oh, yeah, Spencer from Bionic Commando is in it, along with Arthur from Ghosts n Goblins. Arthur starts out with armor and loses it after taking a certain amount of damage.

Arthur was a surprising (and humorous) inclusion... though I suspect some gamers will treat him as a 'gag' character (see: Dan Hibiki) who is nonetheless quite effective in the right hands.

Quote:

Hopefully they'll add Spencer's original costume. I didn't much care for the new, dreadlocked design.

Given that this game will have alternate outfits, and the new BC does have the original 'carrot-top' Spencer as an unlockable alternate model, Capcom has no excuse whatsoever for not including it here.

Speaking of Spencer, earlier I'd hoped that the devs wised up and brought back special intro animations for particular face-offs. Well, they have the specific dialogue segments right (listen to the exchange between Spencer and Iron Man).

Quote:

Shortly after Spencer and Arthur were revealed, Magneto and M.O.D.O.K. were announced.

M.O.D.O.K. came as another surprise; nice to see they're reaching into Marvel's B-list here.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
