Oh god, Arthur looked so mad awesome.
I mean the wacky run/jump/attack animation's, the shorts, the music, the voice! They absolutely nailed his character.
Spencer looked fun too, but I dunno.
Modok and magneto are a suprise for me though. Modok I'm just wondering what the fuck he will play like, but I wasn't expecting mags to return. I hope he's still as awesome since he is my main in mvc2.

NYCC MODOK Gameplay - MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3
--
Gameplay info and modes
• Tag ins are much faster than they were in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and are now overhead attacks (must be blocked high). You can't really combo after connecting with a tag in, but there may be some exceptions to this.
• As previously mentioned, tag ins are still performed by holding one of the Assist buttons.
• There will be a Trials (Challenges) mode in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, similar to the one that was in Super Street Fighter 4. While SSF4's trials were very difficult, MvC3's will be geared towards getting players familiar with the characters and preparing them to play against other people.
• The game no longer shows the amount of damage done in combos. The team wanted to keep MvC3 more like MvC2, and when they had the damage numbers in there, it just didn't feel right, so they took them out.
• The developers have expanded the ability to combo after throwing your opponent. This isn't overly easy to do, but it's more common now than it was before.
• Some of the cast members do not have levels 3 Supers right now, but they all have three different Supers. It's still being decided if everyone will get a Level 3 or not.
• There will be taunts in the game, every character has one so far. These are performed by pressing the Select button.
• Complete button configuration is available, like in every Capcom fighting game, so you can layout your buttons however you want. One of the defaults you can select is an MvC2-styled layout.
• The MvC3 character balancing process is handled by the Battle Director, primarily, but he also consults with Niitsuma-san and Capcom USA staff, including Seth Killian, to get input on balancing the game.
Characters and misc. details
• Some of the character models have been improved since you first saw them in-game. Characters like Dante and Deadpool were fairly far along when they were shown, but others have received numerous touch ups.
• Niitsuma said he doesn't like to deconfirm characters because he doesn't want to say that a character won't be in the game when they may end up being in there after all. Also, deconfirming characters could lead to knowing the roster through a process of elimination.
• Capcom never had plans to add in any Monster Hunter characters to MvC3. Marvel had some characters that were off the table from the very start, but this is a contract thing and Niitsuma couldn't elaborate on it.
• The original proposal from Capcom was to have Stan Lee in the game, but Marvel is handling that side of things, so Niitsuma wasn't sure if he'd show up.
Simple Mode
• Seth Killian very much emphasized that Simple Mode won't give an advantage to expert players. Balance was definitely a concern when they were creating this, so Capcom has designed it so that it cannot be abused by people who know what they're doing.
• An example Seth gave is that Dante has around 40 special moves, in Simple Mode he has access to 4 of them. Simple Mode only has one Super per character as well.
• Simple Mode will be available online. You might be able to block people who are using it though, but this hasn't been decided yet.
• One of the reasons Simple Mode was added to the game is that some fighters were difficult to play, so they added in a mode so even new players could jump in and try these characters out.
Future plans and next MvC3 Fight Club
• Capcom will have the next Fight Club at a location they've never hosted one at before. Seth is 90% sure that Wesker, Tron Bonne, Spider-man and X-23 will be playable there. This event will happen on October 28, 2010.
• Once the console versions of MvC3 are complete, they'll consider doing a arcade port of the game. Again, they're only going to consider it — it may not happen.
• They're looking into making a Collector's Edition for both the USA and Japan.
• A demo is still up in the air at this point.
X-Factor System
• Seth warned that the X-Factor system has been one of those things that is constantly changing, so keep in mind a lot of this stuff could be different by the time the game is released.
• When you activate X-Factor, the game takes into account how much life you have with your remaining player(s). It's more powerful if you use it when all of your other characters are dead, as the less life you have the longer it lasts.
• Also, X-Factor gradually restores your Red (regenerable) portion of life.
• It cannot be activated while you're getting hit, which is unlike the Mega Crash system in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
• You can Cancel your own move with X-Factor, it returns you to a neutral state where you can pull off combos that wouldn't otherwise be possible. An example used was Canceling Iron Man's Proton Cannon Hyper and then going into another Proton Cannon Hyper.
• X-Factor works the same for all of the characters — there are no unique properties depending on who you activate it with.
Music and voices
• The 'Take You For a Ride' song is officially back.
• As previously mentioned, the dialogue the characters speak will change depending on the situation and which teammates you choose.
• Marvel characters will only have English voice actors, but users can select between Japanese and English voices for the Capcom fighters.
• An external team outside of Capcom is creating the music for this game. This team used to work on Capcom games, but is now their own outlet. The person in charge of X-23's song didn't work for Capcom, but was asked to do work for SSF4.
Magneto looks as strong as he was in MvC2.
Well I think he won't be able to triangle dash, but if you didn't use that...I think he actually looks stronger now....awesome ;].
Modok looks like a keep-away character that can go on offense for short timed bursts
I've got to give Capcom huge credit for this. There are a couple of characters in BlazBlue who are constantly abused using Beginner Mode online (RagnaOriginally Posted by Marik
). At least on the lower-mid rankings. That's mostly due to the small number of moves some characters have, so there may be some similarities with characters that aren't Dante. Either way, good news is that they're thinking about this kind of abuse.
Yay, now it will infect my brain forever.• The 'Take You For a Ride' song is officially back.
I wonder what kind of damage you have to do to that triangle shield to blow through it. Something like that could get really annoying if your opponent does enough damage to your team, then switches to MODOK and turtles until the round runs out.
I like trap and keep-away characters, but MODOK looks like he'll piss me off even to play as, much less fight against.
I had no where else to put this, so I apologize in advance.
Konami's X-Men Arcade Classic Headed For XBLA And PSN
Man, I love old school beat-em-ups like this, so I'm really excited about this announcement. I'm happy that the game will feature six player online support. The 4 player local limit doesn't bother me.
All I need now is the Simpsons arcade game on Live Arcade.

Edit: Here's another video from the NY Comic-Con. It features the four recently announced characters, plus Wesker and Spider-Man in alternate costumes.

Spencer looks pretty powerful, it also seems that even though modok's shield can't be broken, he can't block himself.
I really liked how spidey and magneto ( lol maggy) finished off spencer only to be raped by arthur ;o.
Is it just me or does Modok look like he'll be a pain in the ass to play against?
Seeing Arthur in the game is a huge surprise. He looks like he'd be a lot of fun to play with and it's kind of nostalgic seeing him...reminds me of how impossibly hard Ghosts n Goblins was when I was a kid.
She-Hulk? Marvel picks their other major fourth-wall breaking character? MvC has always been tongue-in-cheek, but it seems a bit cheap. At least it doesn't look like she does it too much (if at all?) in the video, they're going strong with her lawyer aspect.
edit: I love her spring-blade attack (in the style of BlazBlue's Noel or Melty Blood's Sion)
She looks fun to play though. A little slowish for my tastes, but I've no doubt I'll throw her into the mix.
As for Zero, that's blatant fanservice.

Then they might as well be more blatant and give me X.
I haven't read the comics at all but why is She-Hulk so shapely? I was expected her to be like Hulk but with a top and a wig.

Because she's a girl.
It probably also has something to do with the fact that she doesn't change personality or intelligence when she changes, she's not overcome with rage like hulk is. There was also a period of time that she couldn't change back for some reason.
But yeah, my sentiments on these 2 chars are pretty much the same as ryll. Though I am VERY glad about seeing RE5 possessed Jill Valentine and Shuma Gorath in the game.
I'm guessing Jill be a mix between deadpool/wesker/x-23.
Also who is that girl below spiderman and felicia on the cover?
*@Marik, I guess it is x-23, the colour of her hair confused me a bit.

DLC already? *sigh*

Looks like X-23 to me.
Well there's a press release out now with the release date and official cover art. A couple of new gameplay videos were released for She-Hulk and Zero as well.
She-Hulk & Zero Gameplay 1
She-Hulk & Zero Gameplay 2
The European release date is February 18th, 2011.Seeing as this is the season for giving, we have decided to drop a ton of new Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds information, covering the Special Edition, preorders, new characters, and the release of the box art. Starting off, we are pleased to announce that Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is launching on February 15th, 2011.
On top of that, yesterday it was revealed that She-Hulk from the Marvel universe and Zero from the Capcom universe are joining the roster of characters for Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds.

- 2 Playable DLC Characters – Shuma Gorath and Jill Valentine. Content is available 4 weeks post-launch.
Indeed, not only are we announcing the Special Edition, but we’re piling on the announcement of two new playable characters:
First, your favorite cap-poppin’ zombie-killer Jill Valentine is back for another round. She’s sporting her Resident Evil 5 battlesuit and packing serious heat. She’ll be joined by Capcom comrades Arthur, Nathan “Rad” Spencer, Wesker, Tron Bonne, Viewtiful Joe, Amaterasu, Dante, Ryu, Morrigan, Chris Redfield, Felicia, Trish and Chun-Li.
Next-up is everyone’s favorite one-eyed demon Shuma-Gorath, famous for delivering his unconventional brand of tentacle-based combat with a little magic thrown in. Other Marvel characters include Magneto, M.O.D.O.K., Spider-Man, X-23, Dormmamu, Thor, Deadpool, Hulk, Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America, Doctor Doom and Super-Skrull.

Finally, today is the day that we reveal the stunning new box art for Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. Check it out for yourself at the Capcom press center or Capcom Unity.
Adi Granov, the phenomenal artist that designed the armor for the Iron Man movies, is the cover artist behind this riveting piece.

The result is a compelling art piece depicting an epic battle between Marvel and Capcom characters.
It’s an exciting package we have coming next year. Get set for the ultimate 3-on-3 faceoff when Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds hits PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on February 15, 2011.

Don't like the boxart so much.
Jill looks fantastic.
I'm going to miss Zombie/Tyrant-Summoning, Herb-using Jill.
At the same time, I welcome ninja-dash/leaping, machine-gun, screaming-in-pain Jill.
And that steelcase-totting, free-DLC-with-pre-order release date.
Term DLC is too misleading. It's just a time based/purchase based unlock.

Is that a problem? >_>
