Marvel vs. Capcom 3‘s already secured Ryu, Wolverine, Morrigan, Iron Man, Chris Redfield, and The Hulk, and today four more have been revealed.
Devil May Cry 3‘s young Dante, Darkstalkers‘ Felicia, and Marvel’s Deadpool and Captain America were all confirmed for the upcoming third iteration.
Alongside these new characters, a few new details have been revealed about the game.
- Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is using the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom scheme to be more accessible, but will retain stuff like Hyper Combo cancels, Snapbacks and assists.
- The game will have the alpha, beta and gamma assist types, just like in Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
- Marvel vs. Capcom 3 aims to knock down the wall of complicated controls and open up the field of strategic fighting to all comers. This means fusing the accessible controls of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom with tried and true Marvel vs. Capcom 2 gameplay.
- The game has simplified launch attacks which are universally performed with one button, the Exchange button. This can also be pressed along with certain directions to slam opponents into the ground, leaving them susceptible to combos. Players can also hit the Exchange button in midair to tag in other team members on the fly. You can also counter exchange moves by guessing the correct exchange move to input at the same time as your opponent.
- Deadpool’s teleportation device will comically malfunction if you spam his teleport move. Also, he breaks the fourth wall by beating his opponents with his health bar.
- Chris Redfield uses his weapons from Resident Evil 5, his shotgun and the “shock stick.”
- Moves from the previous games seemed to have been retained. Wolverine and Hulks’ Supers are shown.
That’s about it. A few, low-quality scans showing off the first screenshots of the game can be seen at the link below.
