While i have nothing against Frank West, when the hell are Capcom going to throw Dante into a cross over...on that note, we havn't heard much from the Devil may cry side of things lately.
Dante is rumored to be in Marvel Vs Capcom 3. Judging from the silhouettes. Which is pretty much a confirmation.

All I can say is, "fantastic."

Frank West and the merchant from RE4 are the most iconic Capcom characters of the last five years or so. But do they understand why?
considering both the merchant (welcome stranger) and frank west didnt appear in resi 5 or dead rising 2

im gonna go ahead and say no

I don't understand why this character should be in a fighting game. I get the Zombie L4D cameo, it's nice different developers are sharing some love to a degree, but only if it makes sense. To me, it doesn't make sense he or anyone from Resident Evil is in this new fighting game remake.

Then again, I didn't see why Tekken, Link, Star Wars, or even Spawn for that matter, was ever even considered for Soul Calibur. I guess it's a fan service thing, like the whole beach volleyball bouncy jugs thing. I think less of devs that crowbar popular characters for no reason other than fanboy love.
its just a way to encourage fans to buy the game thats all....just like how lost planet is having a frank west skin and a marcus fenix skin (i think)

although tbh i felt pretty badass playing as heihatchi in soul claiber....blocking swords with just my fists

We are about to see the begining of a whole new chapter un gaming

just imagine, your playing a game like Assassin's Creed 3 or another god-awful Halo game...or even a new Cooking Mama...

and Frank West is in them all...you know when he's projected to be in every new game that comes out (and old ones with the help of DLC)?
2012!!!

If Frank makes it into MVC3 (fingers crossed), I hope he or Spider-man have some quip about the other's photojournalism skills. Yes, I know this might entail Frank somehow knowing Peter's identity, but if there's a journalist who can, it's Frank.

At this point, I'd be happy with a 'Frank West vs. Marvel Zombies'. :p

Hmmm, well there are worse things than to put Frank into fighting games. His universe was pretty goofy, and consider that the guy is an increasingly deadly martial arts machine as he "levels up" during the game and obtains new movies and such. He's just as over the top as other characters in the game.

As far as Frank being loved in The Western World, I have mixed opinions. Generally speaking I think it's a situation where The Japanese created him to appeal to what they see as a Western Mentality, and the fact that the character has become something of a cult icon, has been mistaken for a massive success.

As far as him being in other games, the character was always kind of ridiculous and truthfully the idea of him "covering wars" from other Capcom games strikes me as being goofy enough to fit with the character.

I will also go so far as to say that I think Frank really deserved to be in another game as a playable protaganist despite me not considering him more than a cult success (it's still a success).

Bring it on, I liked Frank in Dead Rising and its good to see that Capcom agree that he is a great character.
I look forward to many more cameos in the future, but I hope Capcom realize what I really want is another full game with Frank as the star again

Also here's my vote for a zombie Frank in Dead Rising 2 :D

People like Frank West for one reason and one reason only:
Frank West said:
I've covered wars you know.
People really need to do their research before quoting people. It was the "Fast Food Pricing Wars" in Modesto, California.

None of the weapons did more than scratch in SCalibur anyway, you'd take 15 hits with a sword before moving on to round 2.

I miss Bushido Blade...

Isn't Frank just a slap stick Chris Redfield? Do we need both in MvsC3?

...And i am ok with this.

He is a great character.
I have no doubt that he could be in anything from Puzzle Fighter to Halo and it would be awesome.

So not that there is a chance the he is in MvC2 ill be praying even harder that it gets a multiconsole release.(specifically for the wii)
hahah.
I love that!

And nice job with Ken!
You pulling off some good Air combos with him!

I really don't mind this at all. I think Frank West is the kind of character that you can pit in any situation and it would be completely awesome due to Frank being a completely normal dude as opposed to the other characters we see in Capcom games.

Just look at Tatsunoko VS Capcom and Marvel VS Capcom 3! Amongst all the martial artists, superheroes, monsters and robots there's some photographer dude who's had no proper combat training whatsoever and yet he can hold his own against them.

You've got to admit that any normal dude who can beat up Ryu is pretty awesome.

10 Bucks says he will be in MVC3. Aha!
Is your avatar Sayu Yagami? Just wondering.

OT: Frank West is awesome! He can...take pictures...and...cover wars.

Why is Phoenix Wright not appearing in anything? I wanna "Objection!" all my enemies to death.

I guess he's covered alot more than we thought, it's a shame that I still don't have the gamer balls to complete Dead Rising (Considering the fact that I have this wierd human thng called a sense of morality I feel guilty when survivors die, yet it's too damn difficult to retrieve them yet there's nothing else to do in the meantime between main quests. Hopefully the stories won't be connected so I can play Dead Rising 2 as what I hoped for in the first one).

Yes it is! Wow, you are pretty good. No ones been able to get it right up until now. I love the way she smiles. It's so pretty.

A lot of people want Phoenix Wright in MCV3. Being able to use Objection! like specials and stuff would be golden.
I know my Death Note well enough. :p...My respect for anyone goes up when I find out they like that show.

And yes, Phoenix and Edgeworth need to be in MVC3. I just don't see any way around it.

this story coupled with the increasingly likely odds that Frank is gonna be in MvC3, and Capcom just made my day(as well as gauranteeing a sale of the next Vs gane). Seriously though speaking as a huge fan of Dead Rising(and Frank) I like most of you am over joyed to see how much love Frank is getting from both the fans and Capcom. I mean Im not entirely sure what it is about Frank that I like so much, but without question the character has something of a unique appeal to him that makes me very excited at the prospect of seeing him in alot more Capcom games(one of which hopefully will be Dead Rising 2).
