Wait, that doesn't make sense. Well, I only played about an hour of the original Marvel vs Capcom 3, which was already filled with many of my dream characters. Wait, that doesn't make sense either. Why did I play so little of one of my most anticipated sequels ever? Why did I play way more of Mortal Kombat, a game series that I kind of hate everything about? The answer to that is below, but let's first go over the confirmed roster to this MvC3 update.
Capcom:
Firebrand from Ghouls and Ghost and Demon's Crest (was on my dream list)
Strider Hiryu is back!
Phoenix Wright from Ace Attourney
Vergil from Devil May Cry 3
Nemesis from Resident Evil 3
Frank West from Dead Rising
Marvel:
Hawkeye
Ghost Rider
Dr Strange
Iron Fist
Rocket Racoon (wut)
Nova
Capcom has announced that there will be changes to balance, moves, online modes, etc. But nowhere have I read anything about new quality single player content. The reason I played so little of the first game is because I don't want to play the game online, or against anyone for that matter. I'm a very competitive person; and if I'm going to play a fighting game, I'm going to want to get good at it. And if plan to get good at a fighting game, I'm going to obsess over it. And I simply don't have the time I know I need to have in order to get really good at a fighting game. Trust me, I went through this with Tekken 10 years ago.
So what do I want? Something that gives me hours of fun with these awesome characters without playing other people. I've spent more time playing Mortal fucking Kombat because the game is filled with well made single player content. If Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 added a tower mode like in MK, the game would sky-rocket to one of my most anticipated of the year. But as it stands, Capcom seems only concerned with making this a competitive game. And until that changes, I'll have to keep passing on these awesome fighting games.
Here's Firebrand in action!

What the fuck is a Rocket Racoon..?
13 years, 4 months ago
Know what I want? I want Capcom to release this for free like Aksys did with BlazBlue, and pick up Megaman Legends 3, for trying to release this in the same year as the original Marvel vs. Capcom 3. That would give me days of fun rather than just hours.
Seventh time bitching about MML3.

I like the capcom roster and surprised the Wright got in even though he was once rejected. as for the marvel roster WTF is Rocket Racoon? I still kinda want Gene to be in the roster.

If there is one thing I've learned from capcom over the last 3-4 years is to never pick up the first release of one of their games. Usually within a year, they'll release an updated version of their game to "make it better" when all this content could have been released as DLC. Screw you Capcom, even if I like all the additions to the roster.

I would have loved to see an interesting single player mode in this game. I usually get very nervous when I fight online; so I don't.
13 years, 4 months ago
Damn, I was hoping they would add Carnage from Spider-Man. :/

Did David get a boner when he saw Phoenix Wright was announced

I agree with Macklin. Also, who the fuck wanted Rocket Raccoon?
13 years, 4 months ago
oh hell yeah Hawkeye is my man Lets do this
13 years, 4 months ago
Rocket Racoon...? LMAO

Capcom is a real bitch. First they cancel Mega Man Legends 3, then they put Firebrand in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, whetting my appetite for a Demon's Crest sequel that I know will never in a million years happen. Fuck you and your cockteasing, Capcom.

I didnt buy the original but with Hawkeye in it, I might have to purchase. I have loved that character since I was a little kid
13 years, 4 months ago
I really hope people werent that shocked that this thing was coming out considering Capcom has started turning extra profit with stuff like this
13 years, 4 months ago
I don't mind any of these character additions, but I wouldn't mind having Frank West not be in in favor of Dare Devil or Black Panther from Marvel. I know they want to keep things even but I don't think Frank West is that necessary, not even Chuck? Oh well its their call but meh.

I wonder if they will put as much effort into Virgil's movelist as they did with Dante's.
13 years, 4 months ago
It's a shame. I really wanted to see Sieg from Chaos Legion appear in the game. Or Blade from the Marvel universe. Oh well.
13 years, 4 months ago
Rocket Raccoon ftw
13 years, 4 months ago
I'm glad they brought Strider back he was one of my favourites in MvC2. Ghost Rider might as well have been Simon Belmont with his movelist...
13 years, 4 months ago
And not a Single Megaman Model............Fucking Capom....... =.=
I'll just wait for "Super Marvel VS Capcom 3"
13 years, 4 months ago
I used to read Rocket Raccoon when I was a kid...it was the back-up strip in the Transformers comics.
Never in a million years expected to see him return, in MvC no less.

characters like Firebrand (hooray) and frank west make for good new characters because you know they offer creativity and plenty of different moves. the same could also be said of many marvel characters but then we have the characters that fans so desperately wanted like Wright, and that makes me wonder; why is a non-action game protagonist without so much as training or experience in combat (as far as i know) in a fighting game?
i mean, it's cool, but will he simply shout the same qoute over and over to a squealing fan's content or will he use the ''law'' to bash his opponent? this makes for an interesting view on how well capcom might handle their mascots... still, looking forward to my demon...

Ah Capcom how you keep trying to find new ways to cheat us out of our money by adding 10 new characters.
The only characters I'm interested in is Vergil and probably "THE COON"
13 years, 4 months ago
Vergil sounds cool..but Phoenix Wright? I question how his fighting style is going to be done. I have a feeling one of his specials is gonna be him going OBJECTION!!!
13 years, 4 months ago
Rocket Raccoon...really? I get Nova to represent the Guardians of the Galaxy, not Rocket Raccoon?!
So many good Marvel characters and they go with him...
13 years, 4 months ago
Rocket Raccon is the effing shit! He's an anthropomorphic Raccoon that hangs out in space and blasts things with GIGANTIC EFFING GUNS while quipping sweet oneliners and hanging out with a humanoid tree prince that speaks in a language that consists of only 3 words in english. Sweet member of Starlord's Guardians of the Galaxy, capturing the hearts and minds of cosmic marvel lover's everywhere...
Plus, All of marvel's characters are human sized. They need a smaller/beastly/comedic guy to balance out Zero, Arthur, and Viewtiful Joe.
Iron Fist should have been in these games form Day 1
13 years, 4 months ago
Fuck yes, Rocket Racoon! Easily the best character on that list.
13 years, 4 months ago
Fuck your face capcom. Your "updates" may entice all the fans to buy your games over and over and over, but more and more of us are getting tired of this cycle. Some of us don't just spend money on nothing but video games. Some people buy a game and plan to not have it killed by an "update". UMvC3 = what MvC3 should've been. All the defenders will say the same tired lines to defend crapcom, but anyone with a brain can see this is just how they're trying to maintain profits.
I promise you Street fighter vs. Tekken will have at least two updated versions released.
TL;DR I'm just butthurt because I get sick of buying capcom games just for them to make something better later (RE5, SF4, MvC3,)

Where
The
Fuck
Is
Venom
13 years, 4 months ago
DUDE SRSLY?!?! These games dont take place in the mainstream marvel continuity, so whats the big deal with adding back Eddie Brock Venom?? ROCKET RACCOON??? WTF MARVEL??!!! Fuck Rocket Raccoon. Nobody wanted him. NOOOBODY...
13 years, 3 months ago
Look at all these heavily armed and/or armored super heroes and men.
Look at Phoenix Wright with his... pointing.

I love the characters such as Vergil Nemesis adn Frank West Im a big fan of the three series and im in love with this along with the idea that these three games are having new games come out Like DMC(prequal to devil may cry 3*also prequal*) Resident Evil Operation Raccoon city or Resident Evil Revelations and the new Dead Rising Off the Record where you play as Frank West again!
