Capcom has announced two new characters for Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Sir Arthur and Nathan “Rad” Spencer. Other Capcom comrades will include Wesker, Tron Bonne, Viewtiful Joe, Amaterasu, Dante, Ryu, Morrigan, Chris Redfield, Felicia, Trish and Chun-Li.
It also seems as though Magneto and M.O.D.O.K. are in the game based on images, though the characters haven’t been 100% confirmed as of yet.
Artist Chris Cayco, who we’ve featured a few times before on Kotaku, grew up playing Marvel vs. Capcom (and Marvel vs. Street Fighter) games. His tribute to this, which took him over 175 hours, was to combine every single character to ever appear in Capcom’s crossover series in the one enormous image.
Makes me despise Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite that much more
So much wasted potential
As common as it is today, it is hard to believe that there was a time where gaming franchises crossing over was just a pipe dream. Capcom broke down the wall, but they took the combination of some of the most unlikely of franchises and made it the norm.
Whether it was a colossal successful partnership with Marvel Comics or a collaboration with rivals Namco and SNK, the “Vs.” series brought unforgettable experiences to the fighting genre.
Marvel doesn't just have a bright future ahead of it in films, but in the gaming realm as well. Some exciting new titles are showing up on all hardware, so does that mean gamers are finally catching up with the MCU?
Sir Arthur is lame but Nathan is kinda cool even though I never cared for Bionic Commando. But why Capcom is adding a bunch of characters nobody cares about anyway? Didn't they say they were going to listen to their fans when selecting characters? Then where the heck is Mega Man X?
And let's not even talk about the absence of Venom, Captain Commando, Ken, Strider Hiryu, Hayato, etc. this is insane! Their move list was already made for MvsC2 then what is stopping them of adding those characters for the third? No matter what they try to do MvsC3 is going to be very unbalanced like MvS2, fans are going to find ways to do infinite combos with every character anyway. Tha's a given.
YES!!
Bionic Commando
Supposedly Magneto and M.O.D.O.K are next.
Grah, why'd they go with the dreadlocks Spencer instead of how he looked in rearmed? Though I do like his dialogue with Iron Man.
Where in fucks name is Megaman X? It's not a vs. game without him. How on earth are they putting Tron Bonne in there and no Megaman X is beyond me.
