The characters in MvC3 were made from scratch, even if they were in many cases based off of their 2D sprite counterparts. Outside of a few new characters, the cast of MvC2 was pretty much just sprites pulled from a handful of other Capcom fighting games. There really wasn't much work involved outside of crafting the engine, which itself was an upgraded hand me down from earlier games in the series.Flailing Escapist said:
I might do the same, if I can forgive them for cancelling MM Legends 3.blackdwarf said:
This is assuming that he would get EVERY character. If they were released as seperate DLC, you could pick and choose which characters you'd want. Plus, several small purchases over a period of time are more managable than one big one, especially if you lack a steady stream of income.HigherTomorrow said:
Because he likes video games? I bet he also likes saving a bit of cash too.HigherTomorrow said:
So I wasn't the only one that noticed, even though MvsC2 was fun, that most the characters were copy/paste sprites from other games.StriderShinryu said:
Previous characters were priced at $5, yes, but we do not even know if these characters will be allowed for download. When Super StreetFighter 4 came out, you had to buy it, you couldn't download the extra characters or gameplay tweaks. Now the Arcade pack for Super StreetFighter 4 was available for download, so this one is a tossup. It adds some gameplay tweaks like now you can spectate in game (why it didn't have it originally boggles my mind, since the HD remake of MvC2 had it), and some other things. If Capcom doesn't make this available for download, then it's a waste of money. Not because of the content, the content it gives is very good, and if it truly is $40, then it's actually a VERY good deal (considering what MvC3 cost). It will instead be a waste of money because it will tell Capcom "Yes, you can rerelease your game literally a year later with stuff that can easily be DLC and we will pay you for it. Don't even make it DLC, just release it as a game." and we cannot let them think that that's okay.HigherTomorrow said:
Yeah, I'm not certain if Capcom ever stood up and boldly announced it, but it certainly was the case and was the only reason they were able to cobble together a roster of 50+ characters so quickly. It also helps to explain why the game was so imbalanced seeing as how the characters as they originally existed were never really meant to be in the same game.Negatempest said:
To me I don't understand the *****ing about the roster size. I could understand the characters, sure, maybe you don't like what is available. But what MvsC2 gave was one of the worst roster, balance wise, in a video game since Mike Tyson.StriderShinryu said:Yeah, I'm not certain if Capcom ever stood up and boldly announced it, but it certainly was the case and was the only reason they were able to cobble together a roster of 50+ characters so quickly.

To this point, the fact that Morrigan used the exact same sprite from the very first DarkStalkers game all the way through to her first redesign in MvC3 is a bit of a running joke amongst Capcom fighting game fans. Well, I guess she was redesigned once.. when they had to give her a chibi version to fit in the Gem Fighter games.

That is...A very good point. I think this is just because people are upset over Megaman Legends 3. However it could be because people are hypocrites.ProfessorLayton said:
