Rumor: Final Fight's Muscular Mayor in Marvel vs. Capcom 3



Mike Haggar may have overhand smashed his way into Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

The final roster for revealed [http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-vs-Capcom-Worlds-Xbox-360/dp/B003IE9V28/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1288534453&sr=8-2] at New York Comic Con earlier this month. This weekend, a new fighter may have been leaked thanks to Capcom's recent Halloween party.

In a photo gallery of the party posted on the Capcom Unity blog, one image shows an employee wearing a monkey mask sitting in front of a computer screen. That screen features a picture of Final Fight's [http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fight-Super-Nintendo/dp/B000B9TUWY/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1288535317&sr=1-1] very own Mike Haggar, the mayor that can both balance the budget and piledrive thugs through the concrete, in Marvel vs. Capcom 3's art style.

In Haggar's case, the pen is not even close to being as mighty as his ham-hock fists. Haggar was one of three fighters in the original Final Fight, in addition to Cody and Guy. Both of his Final Fight partners have already been featured in Street Fighter titles, so Marvel vs. Capcom 3 may be Haggar's time to shine. In Final Fight, Haggar is a grappler, so he'll likely have moves similar to Zangief should he turn out to be an official roster addition.

The photo appears to have been taken down from Capcom's website, so this very well might have been an accidental leak. For now, this is not an official reveal, but it does go along with the rumored list of characters that came out earlier this year. If Capcom officially announces Haggar soon, I wouldn't be surprised.

If this is true, day one purchase haha! Still can't believe they left him out of Super Street Fighter IV, he was much more popular than the other Final Fight characters.

Every "leaked" list I have seen so far has already been proven wrong, but I am certainly excited if this turns out to be true.

And then the fandom rejoiced.
I really hope this is true. The mighty Mayor Haggar (as I call him) was way awesome.
Also, when we see what other Mega Man character gets in? They have to have one of the blue/red bomber crew. The HAVE to.

You've got to be kidding me; everyone knows it's all about Guy. He had his own Final Fight game for crying out loud.

He deserves the spot. I never played Final Fight, but it's about him Capcom ressurected him and put him in 3D.

That just leaves Punisher on my wish list for MvC 3.

Also, I'm on the band wagon for power stone 3

No, you've got to be kidding me if you don't know how popular Haggar is.

Oh I know; I just disagree. There are too many characters already like him in the Street Fighter roster though. That said I would have prefered him to Cody.

Isn't Zangief basically a reskin of Haggar? They've got all the same moves, so isn't this going to be a Ryu/Ken style same character deal?

Final Fight Guy? That piece of shit was released like forever after Final Fight 3 was already out and was nothing less than Final Fight 1 all over again, problems and all, with Guy replacing Cody.

For Capcom's sake, they'd better not be tricking us.
