Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom Character Reveals!

[Just_A_Glitch]

Okay, so today, the final two new characters were officially revealed. Frank West, of Dead Rising fame, and Rocket Raccoon, of Marvel Comic's "Guardians of the Galaxy" fame. If anyone hasn't seen the new video reveals, I'll link them at the bottom of this post.

So my questions are: What do you think of the 12 new characters? What are your opinions? Who's going to be the new top tier of the twelve? Who are you most excited for? Who was the most underwhelming reveal for you?

I'm expecting a lot of "Vergil and Rocket Raccoon look broken" and "Phoenix Wright looks like fun on the bun!", so please feel free to mention the other nine characters.

Personally, I'm stoked for Frank West. He was one of my most desired Capcom characters from the start. He was my main in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and I was hoping to carry him over. And now I've got the chance! On the Marvel side, I can't wait to play Nova. His inclusion in the game came completely out of left field, and I couldn't be happier.

My most underwhelming is probably Firebrand. His play style doesn't so much appeal to me, and I don't really care about the character.

So, please share!

Spoiler: Character Reveal Videos

EDIT: Meant to include, please no bitching about Megaman. I get it, you're mad. Deal.

I don't mind most of them. Rocket Raccoon and Wright in particular will be very interesting to play. However, i would like to make a slight change to the roster. My suggestions would be:

Firebrand or Any other new Capcom villan>Poison (Final Fight)
Iron Fist>Daredevil/Elektra (considering they are actually popular marvel characters (Elektra:Sorta))

Most of the other Characters from the original roster are solid but did anyone notice there were like 6 marvel villans and only two from capcom. It just seemed abit strange to me. As for the megaman issue, i don't really care. Nice of Capcom to once again, ignore their fans and decide to go off in a completely different direction.

Would be nice to see M. Bison added to the list but then again, there are already too many Street Fighter Characters and his moveset wouldn't really work.

Personally, I'm loving the new characters. Some real gems in there.

Iron Fist is currently my "Must play" character, although Rocket Raccoon just shot up to second place with that awesome trailer.

Couldn't care less about tiers, not my thing.

Personally, of all the new characters, Nova had the most lukewarm reveal. He just doesn't seem to bring anything that other characters don't already do. At least Firebrand has some interesting movement options.

Can't wait until this comes out, the whole package just seems to be a much better deal than the original.

Daredevil is my most wanted character from Marvel after a few X-Men (Gambit, Rogue, and Nightcrawler). I just think he'd fit in the game so perfectly. Elektra would be cool, if only to add an actual female to the list of new characters.

Blade would be awesome too. Personally, I viewed him as the perfect Dante counterpart.

Rocket Bloody Raccoon is a beast! He has some serious keepaway potential and is my favourite new reveal by far. He'll certainly be joining Ammy, that's for sure.

 

[shurikenshado4]

I didn't think about blade. Nice

I'm going to assume that your third character is Joe or Arthur, just so I can imagine a team that is damn near impossible to hit.

My main team in MvC3 is Ammy, X-23 and Morrigan.

Thinking of replacing Morrigan with Rocket.

I don't even know who Rocket Racoon is, and he already looks friggin awesome to have o.o

Well granted, to start with, I never have roster complaints...at least concerning new characters. If they're a new character, some part of me is psyched. And if they're Vergil, that part of me is doing the happy dance, while telling everyone in earshot that they won't forget this devil's power (they are not worthy as my opponents).

My version of a coonskin cap is basically me chewing on your skull!

...okay, I never knew about Rocket Raccoon, but now I really like him. Since I have a complete Devil May Cry team now, I might want to consider him for another main team. Maybe a troll team? Dr. Strange, Deadpool, and Rocky do seem to have a bit of thematic cohesion.

Or maybe Frank could go in there. I never played Dead Rising (or TvC), so I had no initial impression going in, but his playstyle looks really fun. Maybe him teamed up with Phoenix and Deadpool...

If you're looking for a troll team, you can't go wrong with Deadpool, MODOK, and Rocket Raccoon/Frank West.

...how did I forget M.O.D.O.K.?! His friggin' theme goes with trolling!

So yes, replace Dr. Strange in that lineup.

Disappointed at the lack of a Symbiote Marvel character. Let's have Venom/Carnage!

I would much prefer Carnage to Venom.

1: I was never a big Venom fan. He's cool, but I'm not huge into him.

2: I imagine Carnage would play very similarly to Arakune in Blazblue. Bizarre movements, insane attacks, etc.

 

[XIII's Number XIV]

Dr. Strange actually looks pretty nifty. I'll try him out and see if he'd fit in with my team, however...the one I'm really lookin' at here is Nemesis. I know he's the equivalent of Sentinel except slower, and a lot of spamming's to be had, but he looks like he has serious potential. Plus...look at him! I mean seriously, for his Level 3, he basically eats your character! Definite add.

I'm still really confused, however, that Capcom did say they were gonna exclude him (and Phoenix W.) for various reasons, yet they still did. Why?

...and with the reveal of Frank West, my hype for this game is now at an all-time high. I'm not one to boast about my fighting game skills, least of all with recent titles, but Marvel vs Capcom 3, I can play.

Hard.

Rocket Raccoon looks cool too, I suppose. I was actually in the process of revamping my teams, anyway. Previously, I used Ryu, Akuma, and Felicia. I'm starting to think I need to mix it up a little. Perhaps I shall go with Nemesis T-Type, Frank West, and Felicia. Sure, I'll try all the new characters, mix and match a few here and there, but that's what I'm going for.

[sub]I loves me some Felicia. She kicks ass.[/sub]

I pre-ordered and actually paid off this game weeks ago, so November 15th cannot get here fast enough. I'm ready!

I actually love your love for Felicia. She's been one of my go-to characters since the beginning. She isn't on my main team, but she in on one of my three main backup teams.

Plus, she looks really good in Ultimate from what I've seen.

 

[Orbot_Vectorman]

So far, I can tell you my main team is going to be "Ammy, Rocket, and most likely Shuma Gora"
or for fun, "Wesker, Jill, and Nemasis"

 

[go-10]

Iron Fist, Nova, Hawkeye are in?!?!?!

yeah I don't care bout the rest but THANK YOU CAPCOM

 

[StorytellingIsAMust]

I am a huge fan of Phoenix Wright, and I was dying of laughter when I saw the trailer video for him. I was convinced that if any Ace Attorney made it to MvC it would have been the Steel Samurai, but this is amazing.

I also have a friend who's a huge fan of Rocket Raccoon, and we were both extremely excited by that.

I'm still confused as to why there's no Cyclops or Gambit, and I really miss Mega Man, but I'm excited.
