Someone Leaked the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Intro Cinematic

Two sets of heroes meet two sets of villains, and lots of stuff blows up.

We're still about two weeks out from Marvel vs. Capcom 3's release (Feb. 15th here in North America, the 18th in Europe), but some generous soul has released the game's intro cinematic and posted it onto YouTube. The audio is a bit scratchy at points, but there's little doubt that this is the real deal.

And oh, what a real deal it is. We've got the SHIELD helicarrier in flames over New York City. We've got Spider-Man and Nathan Spencer (of Bionic Commando fame) swinging from enemy fighters, Storm zapping the fighters with lightning, She-Hulk hurling them around, and Chun-Li and Zero just kind of generally looking cool.

Mike Haggar and Felicia try to save some of his "Haggar for NYC Mayor" billboards, and frankly I'd vote for a man who looked like he could crush my head with his bare hands. Thor matches elemental powers against somebody (Super Skrull? Help me out here, Marvel-ites), and the likes of Doctor Doom and Magneto clash with Jean-Grey-as-Phoenix and the World Warrior, Ryu.

Frankly, it looks incredible. I'm super psyched for MvC3, and this trailer isn't doing much to convince me otherwise.

For all the awesome action, though, the Mike Haggar/Felicia section stands out for me as the most memorable - if only because it's kind of hilarious.

I want to get this, but I have to get Killzone 3, Dragon Age 2, and both new Pokemon games first.

After all that, though...MvC for sure.

Just can't decide between the 360 or PS3 version...

3:25 I was waiting for Ryu's eyes to go red, for Ken to take up his hand, or for Akuma to walk out of the flames...
Oh well, maybe he can change modes MvC1 style.

There's only two weeks left?!

Oh wow, I have to prepare. Lots of hand and wrist exercises, and time to dust off the old HORI stick.

For your information it was Dormammu (flaming head) that Thor was fighting against. The intro is pretty much epic and the last scene would make an awesome wall paper or poster.

This game simply can't come soon enough! This leaked intro makes me even more glad that I got the Collectors Edition. INCREDIBLE!

But you're missing the most important part! You can clearly see the helmet of GALACTUS, DEVOURER OF WORLDS in the giant billow of smoke behind the villains. Guess we know who the final boss is now :D

I watched out of curiosity, as I know practically nothing of either set of characters, and have little interest in fighting games, but that looks awesome.
That Mike Hagger and Felicia scene stands out as there's even a music change to reflect the sheer randomness of the tonal shift that just took place.
I really do like the art style, it's a strange, but strikingly effective, mix.
Also, brilliant ending scene there. I would be surprised if that's not reproduced in a physical format at some point.

It looks like, from a story stand point, they are actually trying to make "power levels" make sense. You don't see Dr. Doom facing off 1v1 with Ryu or anything so its nice to see they're actually paying attention to that. Anyway awesome trailer thanks for the scoop.

I have never seen Wolwerine that smiley.

The scene with Mike and Felicia was hillarious. Those claws must really hurt but she can scratch my back whenver she wants.

Yay job opening!

I realized today that as I become more and more embedded in the developer lifestyle, I care less about leaks as cool little discoveries, and more that some idiot just got himself canned for stupidity, so I don't feel guilty trying to get his job once they've fired him.

I seriously need this right now. Also, I really want a poster of the final still.
