This is not Ryu's surname in the games, only the movie, you need to change this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.150.14 (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

More characters

I know that there has not been official confirmation of these characters, but this {http://kotaku.com/5518018/marvel-vs-capcom-3s-bombastic-trailer-reveals-16-characters promotional artwork} shows a few very clearly. For instance, only Chun-Li looks like that. Faythoffenrir (talk) 15:52, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, I can CLEARLY make out Captain America and Deadpool in the lower art. Faythoffenrir (talk) 15:58, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Look here. I added pics to a labeled image from Kotaku. Believe it now? Faythoffenrir (talk) 16:43, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

It's not that people don't 'believe' it, it's just it needs to be officially announced which characters are in the game. So far only 6 have been, the rest is just speculation at this point even if it's obvious to fans that Felicia, Chun Li, Deapool and the Super Skrull are in the game. As soon as Capcom make official announcements, then we can add them to the article. Until then only Wolvie, Hulk, Iron Man, Chris, Morrigan and Ryu have been officially confirmed. Richardm9 (talk) 17:18, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

I think the character raising his hand up is Magneto. AKA the one labeled as "???" in the picture.--YOSHIANDLINK1 (talk) 03:14, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Honestly I don't think that you should be add characters that aren't confirmed yet. This is why this site is starting to loose it's legitimacy. You can't post speculations or opinions. Also Even if some of the characters are very obvious (like Chun li), There's no proof that the ones used in the logo will be in the final version. This has happen before when characters were promoted for a game but were ultimately cut in the final version. But if you guys really want to add these guys you should put them under a separate section called "Speculated characters" or something like that.

Can't put speculations in the article

Wikipedia rules. Chaoshi (talk) 20:49, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• Yes it's because of the rules; specifically WP:CRYSTAL. The Phantomnaut (talk) 03:25, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Why not? I tried to add a section just for the characters that appear in silhouette as some of them you can actually recognize. I wanted to exclude any that there are doubts about but Frank West, Chun-li, Felicia, Captian America, Deadpool and a couple of others are clearly visible. Others like "Super Skrull" are not so easily proven as some of the shadows are somewhat subjective. Darkcat1 (talk) April 28, 2010

• I can see Chun-Li but we need a source besides the image. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The Phantomnaut (talk) 03:24, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

2 Voice Languages Setting

After hearing Ryu with his Shinku Hado-Ken. I've heard his English Voice after the video. Liked Street Fighter IV, it will have to Voice Languages Setting: English & Japan. I was wondering about Wolverine's Seiyuu, many fans says: Joji Nakata voices are fit to Wolverine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottKazama (talk • contribs) 11:39, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

• Just because Kyle Hebert appears as Ryu in this game doesn't mean there will be dual-language like SF4 had. For all we know, that could be the only voice track. We can't accept speculation as fact on Wikipedia. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:26, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

It's been confirmed that there is a choice between English and Japanese voices for each character. http://shoryuken.com/content/ask-capcom-mvc3-ces-felicia-ps3-ssf4-costumes-3031/

Possibly Spider-Man?

There is mention of him, but I want to see what you guys think first...

Also, there's some stuff for the development section in the link. Chaoshi (talk) 16:57, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I noticed a Spider Man parade balloon in one of the backgrounds in the official screen shots. While this does not confirm him as a playable character it does show that Capcom does have the rights to put Spidy in the game.(otherwise the image could not be used) Darkcat1 (talk)

Peter Parker appears in the same level as the Spider-Man balloon snapping photos of the fights, so maybe he'll be in it as Spider-Man and maybe not. We have to wait and see. 75.157.120.15 (talk) 18:14, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Silhouette Characters

People say these are total speculation but like the shadow of Indiana Jones on the wall in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" you can definitively identify several of them(espc. Chun-li, Captain America, Deadpool and Felicia). I wanted to add a section for them for this reason and the fact that some people have to keep editing them off the main list but it's been pulled twice due to this so-called "Speculation". While I feel that these characters do not belong on the main list due to some of the shadows being open to interpretation I think they deserve a mention. If nothing else I plan on posting screenshots with the shadows in tact to avoid this crusade. Explain to me why things that are mostly identifiable are "Speculation" even if they are just a promo. This is what I'd intended the section for and not to say that that any of them are in the game. I've put it back for now denoting that they may only be shown for "promotional purposes" so it's not speculation that they are in. Darkcat1 (talk) April 28, 2010

Basically it comes down to what wikipedia is not:

"Wikipedia is not a crystal ball... 3 - Articles that present extrapolation, speculation, and "future history" are original research and therefore inappropriate."

Guessing the silhouettes would be perfectly fine for a fansite or a gaming site, but it's not what wikipedia is intended for. All you have to wait for is an official confirmation of the characters in the game and you can add them back in. They're bound to announce some, if not all of the silhouetted characters at E3, so it isn't that long to wait. Again while it may seem obvious, you could argue that the Captain America could be US Agent or if it's Steve Rogers Cap or Bucky's Cap. Richardm9 (talk) 21:08, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Why do we have to wait to mention such painfully obvious ones as Chun-Li, Deadpool and Felicia? That's just common sense. No one but Chun-Li has that signature qipao and those unmistakable hair buns. No one but Felicia has the big fluffy lock of hair, the huge paws for hands and that smooth perpetually happy catlike face. And really, look at Deadpool, then look at the silhouette right next to Chun-Li, and say with a straight face, "We don't know if that's Deadpool or not." 216.121.183.75 (talk) 12:44, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Besides the fact that a silloutte is still not a source, you don't know what either company is cooking up for original characters. Felicia has been announced yes, but how do you know that it is not Chun-Li's long lost sister? Or some Sakura-esque character that idolizes Chun-Li. Beyond that it could just be an entirely new character with a similar image. And though he has also been confirmed Deadpool doesn't have a striking silloutte in my opinion. He could very easily be The Scourge or Crossbones as well, sticking to mainstream characters and not originals. What it comes down to is that a blackened image doesn't tell us enough to stand up and say with 100% certainty that it IS this character. A silloutte of Captain America could easily be mistaken for one of U.S. Agent. --  Grimbear13 ►Talk  15:17, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

"how do you know that it is not Chun-Li's long lost sister? Or some Sakura-esque character that idolizes Chun-Li. Beyond that it could just be an entirely new character with a similar image."

...That is easily one of THE stupidest statements I've ever read in my life. 216.121.183.75 (talk) 07:47, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

But do you have any official, indisputable evidence that it's not true beyond just "it looks like Chun-Li"? Because if not, then there's technically no way to know for sure. Hence, the list remains unchanged. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:17, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

How about the added fact that Chun-Li is as much a poster child for Street Fighter as Ryu and has been in every Capcom crossover ever made? It's also stupid as hell to claim that there's any chance Capcom would make a character who looks exactly like her instead of putting her in. Seriously, it doesn't just vaguely look like her outline, IT ABSOLUTELY IS HERS, and the only people who can't see this are the ones who haven't seen her before. By the insane logic displayed here, Felicia's silhouette could've turned out to be her twin from Universe X named Aicilef. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this had been claimed, of course, what with how desperate some people are to act like it's a huge mystery as to who the silhouettes are. 216.121.183.75 (talk) 01:07, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Mystery or not, the fact remains that until someone officially says "yes, they're in", as was the case with the Game Informer story, we're not adding them. Besides, how do you know from just a silhouette that it's actually Chun-Li and not a Skrull imitating her anyway? -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 01:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Now you're reaching so much, it's like you just don't want Chun-Li to be in the game. 216.121.183.75 (talk) 04:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't change the fact that a silhouette =/= confirmation, even if it's fairly obvious who it is. There was a lot of debate over who some of the silhouettes were (e.g. whether the hooded guy was Doctor Doom, Moon Knight, etc. or if the long haired woman was Trish, Vanessa Schneider, or what have you), so it would make sense not to add them since no one's entirely sure. And since all silhouettes are being treated equally in terms of verifiability, until we get actual screenshots of Chun-Li or confirmation from official sources that she's made the cut, we can't add her. In short: pics or it didn't happen. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 05:06, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Chun-Li is officially confirmed as of June 11. I believe this is a safe time to say I told you so. 216.121.183.75 (talk) 11:10, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I NEVER SAID THAT I DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS IN. You're missing the point entirely; Even if it's clearly her in the silhouette, we couldn't add her without having an official, reliable source explicitly saying "yes, Chun-Li is a playable character"; that's just the way Wikipedia works. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 14:28, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Extremis Armor

I seriously doubt this is Iron Man's Extremis armor. The armor is a darker red, and has several design differences in the helmet and at the waist. Until we absolutely know (via a published source) that it's the Extremis armor we can't just claim it is. Please see the following pics for comparison to the screenshots listed and the promo image: [1], [2], and [3] --Teancum (talk) 15:40, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

It's clearly supposed to be based on the Extremis, even if the torso is a little skinnier. Besides, you can't make an argument based on color alone. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 16:10, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough - If it's a re-imagining of the Extremis look I can see that, but as I said before, color is only one of the factors. The helmet and hips are still off. But given that Gametrailers is a reliable source I'm not going to argue further, even though the footage you gave is clearly speculation... Educated guesses no doubt, but still speculation. --Teancum (talk) 20:34, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Game Informer Article

Are there scans of this that can be used to verify the information of Deadpool, Morrigan, Dante, and Captain America being in the game? Faythoffenrir (talk) 22:13, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

• None of those screenshots nor the video suggest in any way that Eighting had anything to do with the game. Until Capcom officially says so, there's still no evidence of any sort to suggest that Eighting is involved with this title. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 22:41, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

stages/backgrounds/revals

I'm not sure I can put these on the main page as I don't know the official names but I can clearly see two of the stages in the screens from the official site. I'm starting this discussion so perhaps someone can name them:

1. A stage based on Megaman legends. Looks abit like a town and servbots are in the background. 2. Looks like Spider Man's New York. You have a Spidy parade balloon in the background umong other things.

as a side note: So far what we can learn so far is that Capcom must have some rights to put Spider Man's image in the game(doesn't make him playable but it's a nice clue) and perhaps we may see more of Megaman Volnut but nothing is confirmed. Darkcat1 (talk) 16:23, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

EDIT: We're not sure about it, let's find out soon enough. The poster that shown Spidey & Chun-Li, they are will be playable. As for Megaman, i'm not sure which one: Original, X, Volnutt or Zero. ScottKazama (talk) 07:06, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Who knows? In Tatsunoko VS. Capcom, they had both Volnutt and Zero!! Maybe MVSC3 will have two incarnations of Mega Man together again. By the way, if there really is a poster that comfirms Chun-Li and Spider-Man, where is it? User:Looney Guy —Preceding undated comment added 22:32, 20 June 2010 (UTC).

Doctor Doom & Chun-Li voice actor & New Stages

Now there's four stage: 1st on New York Festival near Daily Bugle & Baxter Building and Bonne Family Festival bases 2nd on Virus Testing Lab (Umbrella, Tricell or whatever it is) and upstair of S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier in Liberty Island

Wait the minute. I've heard his voice before in his GP.

>eek< That's the voice actor who voiced SSFIV Announcer!

So it's not Laura Bailey who voiced Chun-Li. -- ScottKazama (talk) 08:09, 22 July 2010 We're all well aware of the stages. Furthermore, you can't identify cast members based on ear alone; you need more solid evidence. - Cyberlink420 (talk) 12:06, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Personally I'd like to make a section just for the stages since I think they are really interesting all by themselves but since I don't have the official names I really can't do this. So far I've identified the ones you mentioned: New York Festival near Daily Bugle & Baxter Building, S.H.I.E.L.D. Hellicarrier, a Mega Man Legnads stage...and I haven't see the Resident Evil "virus testing lab". If anyone was there and has names I'd really like it Darkcat1 (talk) 14:39, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

"confirmed" characters to not be in the game

PW, Gene, Daredevil, etc. were shot down with little to no reason during the director's interview then later he stated some of them ARE IN THE GAME! and some are not considering popularity I'd say a few will be, but he couldn't announce them —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.50.162.48 (talk) 07:41, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

That interview has been misinterpreted alot of different ways so it really merits discussion. The director stated that if he "said any more" he'd reveal characters that he shouldn't so he was really evasive. This caused confusion but to be sure we'll have to wait for more charter reveals 14:27, 28 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkcat1 (talk • contribs)

Silver Surfer is in?

What do ya'll think about this? http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/jul/29/silver-surfer-marvel-vs-capcom-3/#comments Is this proof enough? KensouYagami (talk —Preceding undated comment added 06:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC).

It looks like very good proof. Marvel or Capcom have to officially reveal Silver Surfer as a playable character; I am not sure if we can't add him to the roster on this page yet. This article says Niitsuma himself said Silver Surfer is playable...so that could possibly be official. WaninokoZ (talk) 07:47, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Tough call; It's not nearly as clear-cut as when Thor and Ammy were leaked. It certainly seems legit, but at the same time, I'm a tad skeptical. I've seen some REALLY convincing photoshops in my day, and unfortunately, all we've got supporting Surfer's inclusion is one relatively blurry image and a lot of hearsay. I think the best call would be to leave him off for now, then add him when it becomes official. The guy claimed Niitsuma would reveal him within the next month, so it's not like we'll have to wait long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyberlink420 (talk • contribs)

Sorry WaninokoZ, but I have to say it's the furthest thing from "good proof". All we've got is some blurry magazine photos and the original poster's word about what's in this supposed article. The guy who's been spamming this story on every message board he can sign up for hasn't even bothered to name the magazine it's from. I think it's bull. NeoChaosX (talk, edits) 22:06, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

You might be right; then again, you might be wrong. We don't know. We just have to wait to find out. Oh, and what I meant to say was that the picture looked like convincing proof; I never said it was good proof. WaninokoZ (talk) 23:09, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

The art of Silver Surfer in these pics has been outed as fanart: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/995375-marvel-vs-capcom-3-fate-of-two-worlds/55803045 I'd say this renders this rumor as false. NeoChaosX (talk, edits) 02:16, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I've seen this. I now think this whole Silver Surfer thing is a hoax too, but some people have noticed slight differences between the pictures. It could be just a coincidence that the pictures look the same. There's always that possibility.WaninokoZ (talk) 03:04, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Either way, all we've got is that pic and a lot of hearsay. It's just not enough evidence. If it's real, we'll find out in a month. And if we don't, we don't. Let's just leave it off until we get more evidence leaning either way. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 04:03, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Someone did some research on the fan art that people are saying the magazine picture was copied from, and it turns out that art belongs to a comic book artist named Espen Grundetjern, who has worked with Marvel and UDON. This might not be a hoax after all (although it still doesn't really prove anything). I can't wait for Games Con in Germany and more news on MvC3! WaninokoZ (talk) 02:19, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Something extra should be written on Phoenix Wright being confirmed not to be in.

Shuu Takumi (Wright's creator) voiced some support for Phoenix's inclusion, stating that if there was enough fan demand he would 'fight' to get him in. When informed of this, Niitsuma said that if there was enough fan demand and Takumi did approach him, he would intentionally 'lose the fight' and add Phoenix Wright.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNtswHQbUuw

Both interviews with Takumi and Niitsuma are shown on this video. I think that just a little sentence highlighting this should be put into the article to help it with its credibility, because although he was confirmed not to make an appearence, Phoenix Wright still does have a chance of inclusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mushroommanic (talk • contribs) 08:47, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I think we should wait until we have definite proof that Shuu Takumi will fight for Phoenix Wright's inclusion before we add/change anything on this page. WaninokoZ (talk) 21:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Takumi has said he will fight for him if he gets enough fan support, I heard he twitted about it. (talk) 5:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

You guys say "if Shuu Takumi gets enough fan support, he will fight." What I meant to say was wait until Shuu Takumi says he has enough fan support, and will talk to Niitsuma about Phoenix Wright before adding anything to the article. WaninokoZ (talk) 02:42, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Well... Tron may have appeared in that new trailer, but there was no OFFICIAL confirmation. Now believe me when I say that she's definitely going to be in game, but we can't add her just yet. Alex.liu064 (talk) 01:53, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

You do bring up a good point. The trailer doesn't 100% prove that's she is playable. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 02:02, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

The fact that she's got her own silhouette alongside all the other characters at the end of the trailer confirms as much. 'Sides, I'm pretty sure Capcom-Unity verified it. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 02:06, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Um, why? We heard from CAPCOM Japan she would be in via Twitter. She deserves some mention, seriously! KensouYagami (talk) 8:40, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if we can add X-23 based on a single tweet...then again, it is Capcom Japan, and their word is official. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 03:42, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

We should still add her. We'll have more showcase of her tomorrow anyways. KensouYagami (talk) 8:52, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Hmm...Capcom Japan said she is in, and we don't need English to prove that. Go ahead and add her. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 04:14, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. I wrote that post the day before she was officially revealed. Sorry if I caused any panic. Alex.liu064 (talk) 20:50, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

By the way, how is X-23's outfit her New X-Men outfit? In MVC3 it's just skintight black pants, combat boots and a black bra, but looking at the image for Wikipedia's New X-Men article, her costume's completely different. 207.216.208.68 (talk) 19:46, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Wesker & Spiderman

New characters confirmed, someone should add them in. SOURCE: http://www.qj.net/qjnet/news/spider-man-albert-wesker-confirmed-for-marvel-vs-capcom-3.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by HarvestMoonFan (talk • contribs) 18:42, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Spider-Man

How is the Spider-Man in MvC3 is the Ultimate version? It looks just like the classic attire that he has. Since on that Gamespot article for Spider-Man and Wesker being confirmed, it never says its the Ultimate counterpart. --Slasher Chaos (talk) 22:10, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't know. Someone else posted that. If you think it's wrong, then go ahead and change it. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 22:20, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

• Funny thing is that both the classic and the ultimate costumes look the same (they essentially are the same). That's probably why someone can get it confused, that and Josh Keaton is said to do the voice in this game and he has done the voice for Ultimate Spider-man in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. Not saying that it is the Ultimate attire, but that's probably why someone thought it was.--64.30.14.50 (talk) 00:49, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

I thought that Ultimate Spider-man's costume had much bigger eyes. The Spider-man in the trailer sure had huge eyes. Alex.liu064 (talk) 21:27, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Ultimate Spider-Man's not a photographer, he's a web-designer. Spider-Man's winning cutscene shows him snapping a photograph of the fight. It's 616 Spidey all right. 207.216.208.68 (talk) 00:40, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Biggest difference in costumes from the 616 universe and Ultimate is the spider logo on his back, if I recall. If the legs are separate enough to see the blue on his costume clearly, it's 616, and if the legs are just separated by black lines, it's Ultimate. The eye thing doesn't really count anymore since Spider-Man's had big eye lenses for YEARS (it was even brought up in a comic years ago by Mary Jane, and Peter stated it was easier to see out of, making an excuse for artists drawing bigger eye lenses). Sera404 (talk) 21:57, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

The legs on the red spider vary from artist to artist as well. 207.216.208.68 (talk) 07:22, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Maximum Spider.

If you look at the gameplay, that move has been updated. Is there any place to mention that? (like how Ryu's Shinnkuu Hadoken being fired at different angles)--64.30.14.50 (talk) 00:03, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

"And 2 Silhouettes"

Can someone provide a source for these two unknown silhouettes? I'm interested in where they were found. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HarvestMoonFan (talk • contribs) 05:31, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Um, what silhouettes? KensouYagami (talk) 10:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

The ones that appear in the trailers. Specifically, a silhouette we assume to be Frank is in the initial teaser trailer, and another that's supposedly She-Hulk is at the end of the Episode 2 trailer. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 06:08, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

She-Hulk? I thought that was X-23, since she was revealed with Tron. Alex.liu064 (talk) 21:30, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Nah, if you compare the silhouette to X-23, it does NOT match up at all. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 21:59, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Censorship issues

Anything noted about Morrigan and Felica's sudden censorship regarding costumes in the US version? Check the site for details and compare it to the Japanese artwork. Sera404 (talk) 21:59, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Nope. Their costumes/models in the actual game remain unchanged in both versions, as you can see in the screenshots; apparently, it's just the site. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 22:18, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

I can't link it right now, but there's an article on Kotaku basically saying that just like how movie trailers all need to be edited for "General Audiences", all promotional materials for a game (artwork, trailers, etc.) need to be "rated E for everyone". Morrigan, Felicia, Trish and any other future scantily clad female characters will have their artwork "altered" for the US website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davethe3rd (talk • contribs) 16:20, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

X-23 is wearing pants and a bra, and she's not censored. Heck, Trish is wearing more than she is, so your statement is untrue. 142.26.194.190 (talk) 19:35, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Expanding the Character table?

I think the table would benefit from having an extra column that clarifies the game/game series the character originates from, similar to how the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom page does it. Also, why not arrange it by series alphabetically, THEN character? I personally would find that a little more pleasing to skim. I can easily browse and see "OK, we got two Resident Evil characters."

So, for example, the table could look something like this...

Marvel characters		Capcom characters
Character	Series	Character	Series
Captain America (Classic attire)	Captain America	Felicia	Darkstalkers
Deadpool (Classic attire)	Deadpool	Morrigan Aensland	Darkstalkers
Dormammu (Defenders Vol.3 appearance)	Doctor Strange	Dante (Devil May Cry 3 attire)	Devil May Cry
Doctor Doom (Classic attire)	Fantastic Four	Trish (Devil May Cry 2 attire)	Devil May Cry
Super-Skrull (Classic attire)	Fantastic Four	Tron Bonne	Mega Man Legends
Hulk (Classic Savage appearance)	The Incredible Hulk	Amaterasu	Ōkami
Iron Man (Extremis armor)	Iron Man	Albert Wesker (Resident Evil 5 attire)	Resident Evil
Thor (Reborn armor)	The Mighty Thor	Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5 attire)	Resident Evil
Spider-Man (Classic attire)	Spider-Man	Chun-Li (Street Fighter IV attire)	Street Fighter
Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men attire)	X-Men	Ryu (Street Fighter IV attire)	Street Fighter
X-23 (New X-Men attire)	X-Men	Viewtiful Joe	Viewtiful Joe

What do you think? Clearly, I'm willing to code it, and I don't mind maintaining it either.

BTW, I'm still not completely convinced it's even that necessary to specify their "attire." It feels like unnecessary information and looks like clutter. (Plus, I don't see any other Versus games articles having ever gone to such lengths to specify what the characters look like.)

Compare the same table above with one below that nixed the attire portions.

Marvel characters		Capcom characters
Character	Series	Character	Series
Captain America	Captain America	Felicia	Darkstalkers
Deadpool	Deadpool	Morrigan Aensland	Darkstalkers
Dormammu	Doctor Strange	Dante	Devil May Cry
Doctor Doom	Fantastic Four	Trish	Devil May Cry
Super-Skrull	Fantastic Four	Tron Bonne	Mega Man Legends
Hulk	The Incredible Hulk	Amaterasu	Ōkami
Iron Man	Iron Man	Albert Wesker	Resident Evil
Thor	The Mighty Thor	Chris Redfield	Resident Evil
Spider-Man	Spider-Man	Chun-Li	Street Fighter
Wolverine	X-Men	Ryu	Street Fighter
X-23	X-Men	Viewtiful Joe	Viewtiful Joe

What do you think? Crimsonseiko (talk) 22:01, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, I agree with you about the whole "attire" and "appearance" thing - it's unnecessary information that only a select audience really cares about. Changing the table, however, I'm not sure. I prefer the list be organized alphabetically by name for some reason...I don't know why. If we change the list though, I prefer your second option. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 00:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I understand. My thinking is, though... A game like MvC3 attracts a large number of fans, not just fans of Marvel and/or Capcom in general, but also fans of individual series. As an avid follower of the Mega Man community, I know there's a fanbase there of gamers who care nothing about any other Capcom properties, but the fact Tron is in the game, they now want to play this. It goes along the same reasoning we're dividing the characters between Marvel and Capcom instead of listing every character (regardless of "side") alphabetically. I'm sure everyone agrees that it'd look silly to just have one column with every character alphabetically, meshing the Marvel and Capcom properties. I think the same logic applies to meshing each company's franchises together. But I won't change anything unless there's some agreement. Just lemme know; again, I have no issues coding/maintaining such a thing. Crimsonseiko (talk) 17:44, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

They did it alphabetically for the Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes page. Anyways, I thought about it, and I support changing the list format. Get rid of the whole attire/appeareance stuff - honestly, it's information that nobody besides "avid" Marvel/Capcom fans would really care about...at least in my opinion. Whatever order you list off the character's name and series/game; I'll leave that up to you. Also, we might want to wait to get more opinions on the matter - not just mine. If nobody else adds an opinion, then just go ahead and change it. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 18:48, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

(Well, I would argue that the MvC2 page should be changed too... But that's a battle for a different talk page.) I say we give it to the weekend for some more feedback before I change anything. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 21:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Alright, sounds good. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 00:09, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

At the risk of being unnecessary and overly complex, what do you think of adding a column that designates whether the character is a veteran to the MvC series, or a newcomer (similar to how characters were being revealed for SSB Brawl)? Or just an asterisk beside their name with a foot-note that says "New character?" Or something like "Bolded characters indicate a first playable appearance in a Marvel vs. Capcom title." Now that I've said it out loud, maybe not such a good idea... But check it out. I've tried asterisks and bolded and check marks, and check marks not only look the best, but it also seems to break up the two sides pretty well. ....But let it marinate. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 01:56, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Ehh...that's kinda the whole point of the Marvel vs. Capcom (series) page. Whether or not a character is a new fighter to the series isn't really all that important. I think we should just stick with your second option. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 02:05, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Good point. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 12:00, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

[Randomly inserts self into conversation] A fine idea. Especially getting rid of the attire information. This format is neater, and ultimately more informative than what costume the characters will be wearing. 71.59.25.219 (talk) 02:16, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Actually, just go ahead and do it. We don't need to wait because we have good, legitimate reasons for the change. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 04:54, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Done! -Crimsonseiko (talk) 16:34, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm...now I have another concern. The links (Captain America for example) both lead to the same page. Should we just "un-link" some of Marvel side's "Series" column? -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 18:51, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Whoops. I thought I unlinked them before... It must have been in one of my gajillion revisions. I'll fix it now. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 21:19, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't Iron-Man, Hulk and Cap be series listed as Avengers, like they are on the MvC2 page? I've made a mock-up, and thanks to Titles, the wikitable is sortable without moving the characters/series row, which should make the table easier to navigate and defuse the char v series alphabetically, especially if they gets up to some 56 characters like it did in MvC2 (which I kinda hope it does).

I like this table a lot; it makes it easier to sort through. One problem I have is that we have "repeat links". For example, "Tron Bonne" and "Mega Man Legends" both lead to the same page...like, what's the point of that? -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 15:18, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Wow. I love this. How did I miss this? I wish we could come to some kind of agreement so we could use this baby, because it's perfect. Well... mostly. The two sides should be separate tables, because grouping one by series screws up the other side. Plus, the table doesn't recognize the "Ō" in Ōkami as an "O" and auto-groups it at the end of the list as a special character. But other than that, I think it's the best thing. But I'm arguing this point into the ground, and until I can find some awesomely-awesome reason to justify using a series listing (like some kind of official Marvel statement on what series a character is associated with), I might as well stop beating this dead horse... -Crimsonseiko (talk) 16:54, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Change the link stuff, I don't really care about that. I do think it looks a bit better if every entry is linked, but like you said, what's the point of that?. As for the other bits, adding a <span style="display:none;">O</span> fixes the sorting issue, and here's it split into two tables. Change the links if you want.

That is absolutely perfect. Now clearly we cannot use that quite yet, as we have not been able to come to any sort of agreement on series grouping. And like I said earlier, I'm gonna stop beating this dead horse until I can come up with some kind of truly amazing reasoning behind both why we should use a grouping on the main MvC3 article, and also in determining criteria on grouping Marvel characters. The Marvel universe crosses over like crazy, but Capcom obviously devised some kind of criteria for determining which characters were considered "X-Men" characters for all the VS. games that preceded MvC, so we should be able to too. Like... Why wouldn't a character represent the series that they were predominantly featured in? M.O.D.O.K. was predominantly a villain in The Avengers, for example. But I'll work on it and let you know if I come up with something. But I'm not giving up on the possibility of coming up with something... Because if we can't, then the main MvC article cannot justify using series groupings either. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 19:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I see what your getting at with this team issue. And I feel it's like this, it should be the comic they were first in. Logan and Spider-man have been on just about every team there is. And we don't list the Capcom charters by say what crossover or verses game they are in but where they came from. Take Jin Saotome most people never herd or saw Cyberbots. And you don't list him as coming from mvc only or first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.15.250.7 (talk) 04:40, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

There isn't. But you didn't really add any new reason to include first appearances (which was discussed in "Series" listings, so you probably didn't see it). So I decided to tell you. TheStickMan^(✆Talk) 01:36, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Marvel Series/Origin

I am glad that we expanded the list of playable characters, but now kinda have a new problem: the Marvel characters' series/origins. I (kinda) agree that Captain America, Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man rep the Avengers more than their own individual series. Does Spider-Man also rep the Avengers, or the Spider-Man series? How about Deadpool? Does he rep himself, or the X-Men? -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 15:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I think we should probably follow the Marvel vs. Capcom (series) page, so Spider-Man would still be listed as Spider-Man but Deadpool would probably be X-Men as a series origin. I suppose though you then get into debate about whether Hulk belongs to Avengers though... Richardm9 (talk) 15:24, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to assume that the Hulk is representing the Avengers in this game, even though he's currently no longer a member in the comics...right? This game seems really heavy on character/game/movie promotion, and the Hulk is going to appear in the 2012 Avengers movie...I'm probably grasping for straws though. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 15:52, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I won't deny I was having some serious issues figuring out what to list the Marvel characters under, so I'm glad you guys are clearing it up. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 16:20, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

"Series" listings

Why is this necessary? Many of these characters have two or more series they could be associated with. The series associations are listed on the characters' main articles. DarkLordWaffles (talk) 17:59, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, I'm not gonna lie. We've had a lot of trouble trying to figure out the Marvel characters' series/origins (or at least selecting one). Sorry, Crimsonseiko, I really liked the whole idea of listing off the characters' origins (especially for the Capcom characters), just like the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom page did, but it's just too much of a hassle trying to figure out which series each Marvel character is representing. It's much easier to just list off their names and provide the proper link - plus the list just looks cleaner and less cluttered. The Hulk isn't a member of the Avengers anymore. So why do we list him as such? Does Deadpool represent his own comics, the X-Men, or the X-Force? There are just too many groups that some of these characters are affiliated with to truly pick out one single origin. Anyway, does anybody object to removing the "series" associations and just having the names of the characters instead?

Marvel characters	Capcom characters
Captain America	Albert Wesker
Deadpool	Amaterasu
Doctor Doom	Chris Redfield
Dormammu	Chun-Li
Hulk	Dante
Iron Man	Felicia
Spider-Man	Morrigan Aensland
Super-Skrull	Ryu
Thor	Trish
Wolverine	Tron Bonne
X-23	Viewtiful Joe

It would be like the old list, except without the pointless "attire/appearance" information. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 18:52, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Meh... I object, only because I love how it makes the Capcom characters look... But yes, I reluctantly agree. It's too difficult to pinpoint what series a Marvel character belongs to since they're constantly crossing over. I've changed it back. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 21:20, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I know you put a lot of hard work into your list, but thanks for being so open-minded. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 21:57, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Wait a second. Instead of series, could we use the first appearances? Alex.liu064 (talk) 22:00, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Maybe. I do remember seeing the characters' first appearances listed in at least one of the trailers... -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 22:40, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

It sounds cool, but is it necessary? Like...I don't think people need to know that Wolverine first appeared in issue #180 of The Incredible Hulk... -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 22:55, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

The Incredible Hulk? Wolverine? That bit of info just blew that plan to bits. Never mind then... Alex.liu064 (talk) 02:28, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Once the information becomes more readily available, we can put a column for voice actors, and since we're getting two sets (Japanese and English), that's 4 more columns. That could alleviate some issues of emptiness. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 16:30, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

We put voice actors on the Marvel vs. Capcom (series) page. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 16:34, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. Not to mention that the Marvel characters only have English voices, so it would look weird for one set to have a Japanese voice column while the other didn't. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 16:54, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Wait, wait. Why is it OK to have the Marvel characters grouped by series on the main MVC article, but not with the same groupings on the MVC3 page? There's nothing wrong with the Hulk being an Avenger on that article. Furthermore, if we're deciding to not post the voice actor information on the main article because it's repeat information that's found on another article, then we shouldn't be posting any series groupings at all. We'd pretty much be limited to posting the characters' names and nothing else to avoid repeat information from the main article. There'd literally be no way to expand the table on this page. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 21:41, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I honestly don't see a need to expand the table on this page. Listing off the characters seems fine to me. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 21:55, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. I hope I didn't give off an "irate" tone. Yeah, I think it looks nicer with more info in it, but I understand why it wouldn't work. I just noticed a sort of double-standard that we should probably tackle in order to strengthen both articles. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 21:58, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you are right. I'm not exactly sure how to deal with that problem though. On a side note, new character reveals on Friday - I'm excited! -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 22:02, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

IDEA!!! The official MvC3 website lists the characters' "first appearances," including the Marvel characters? Since we have a verifiable source, could we could do the First Appearance column after all? (Example: http://marvelvscapcom3.com/us/characters/thor) -Crimsonseiko (talk) 13:47, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

I believe we already talked about that. I think it was somewhere in this discussion. The question is: is it really necessary? -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 15:35, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

We did. I'm revisiting the idea only because... The TvC page uses the instruction manual as citation for grouping the characters by origin. I thought it might be a slightly more viable idea since we have an official source to cite for similar information. Although I'm really just grasping for straws... -Crimsonseiko (talk) 18:33, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

I understand. It's just that...who cares if Wolverine was from issue #180 of The Incredible Hulk? No offense...Anyways, sorry JQF (if you read this) for reverting your work. In my opinion, labeling the series on the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 page seems kind of redundant since the Marvel vs. Capcom (series) page already does that. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 06:27, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Doctor Doom, with the help of Albert Wesker, has assembled a team of familiar villains together that could destroy both Capcom and Marvel's worlds.

I'd stick with Arthur. That's the name most people know him by. Alex.liu064 (talk) 23:38, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Gambit deconfirmed?

I was watching the live feed with Seth Killian, and they asked him specifically about an MvC3 combo video that was on GameTrailers that featured a remix of Gambit's theme. He didn't explicitly say anything about Gambit not being in the game; all he said was that although that was Capcom staff playing the game in the videos, they did not compile it or add the theme, and some fans identified the remix as a fan-made theme. That's all he would divulge. I'm just stating this because I noticed in the history that Gambit was deconfirmed, and if the live feed was the source... then it's slightly misconstrued. (On another note, Seth did say why they chose the dreadlock Spencer. "Because 8-bit Spencer wouldn't fit in." I don't think he understood the question... But does that mean 8-bit Mega Man is deconfirmed? lol) -Crimsonseiko (talk) 02:04, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

About (Classic) Mega Man, Jill, Zangief, M. Bison, and Strider...

There have been a lot of images making the rounds on the net lately of a barricade at NYCC featuring the MvC3 logo but being surrounded by artwork of these 5 characters as they appeared in the UDON-drawn promotional material for MvC2's re-release. The images can be seen here: http://www.ironstarmovement.com/profiles/blog/show?id=3389938%3ABlogPost%3A133932&commentId=3389938%3AComment%3A133934&xg_source=activity ... I'm throwing this out here so that no one attempts to add them to the list, but I don't believe this should be treated as any kind of confirmation. However, it is definitely fishy. Why use promotional artwork for MvC2? They have plenty for MvC3. Furthermore, why use MvC2 artwork of unconfirmed characters? They could have used MvC2 art of characters that ARE in MvC3. (That, and it seems unlikely that were Jill to return, she would still be sporting her RE1 appearance when her former S.T.A.R.S. partners aged 10 years without her...) Plus, why 5 Capcom characters, and no Marvel characters? Right now, I'm chalking this all up to some kind of bizarre promotional mix-up. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 02:09, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Alternate Costumes

Shouldn't the fact that the characters have at least one alternate look be mentioned in the article? Spider-Man has Classic, Symbiote, Stark Armor, and a black-and-neon-green costume from a Heroic Age comic, to name one character's set. 207.216.208.68 (talk) 05:41, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I guess you could mention alternate costumes in an appropriate section of the article, but do we have to? Alex.liu064 (talk) 14:36, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I for one would love a place that lists all of the alternate costumes as they are made public. As comic fan, it's a big deal if Spidey's Symbiote suit is in the game or if Wolverine's new X-Force outfit is present. I'd be nice knowing what versions of characters are represented from the 60 plus years of Marvel stories. Thanks! (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.26.217.193 (talk) 21:25, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

There probably should be someplace in this article that talks about alternate costumes, but listing off each costume isn't that important, or even necessary. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 21:52, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

We could mention it in the Development section where it talks about Iron Man's costume being changed to his Extremis armour and Wolverine's being his new blue-and-yellow outfit rather than his traditional blue-and-yellow one. 207.216.208.68 (talk) 12:27, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

No Mega Man Battle Network love.

I just asked the Capcom-Unity staff directly on the live feed running on their site regarding the comment on Marvel.com's live blog that states "no love for Mega Man Battle Network." As they explained it, at a panel with Seth Killian and some other reps, someone asked about some more Mega Man characters, specifically from Battle Network... at that moment, the audience boo'd the person, and Seth took the mic and said something along the lines of "there you go." Never was the guy ever actually answered, though. So since we don't have a concise enough source, I'm removing this. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 15:29, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Maybe the original Mega Man will make it in, and maybe his X and Battle Network versions will be included as alternate costumes. We'll have to wait and see what the final roseter is. 207.216.208.68 (talk) 07:27, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Absent characters

IMO, the list of characters confirmed not to be in is getting way too long. Let's face it: when the game comes out, a LOT of that section is going to get cut anyway, since it would be kind of redundant to say who's not in when there's a full roster listing right above. Perhaps characters who were considered then cut for a specific reason, like Tyrant because of the rating, Punisher because of similarities to Chris, or Johnny Storm because he's a memory hog, or Demitri because of Midnight Bliss, might still make for interesting and relevant information for the section, but we don't need to list every single Marvel and Capcom character that's not going to make the cut. We can probably cut it down to a few notables on each side, like Daredevil, Gene, Emma Frost, and Phoenix Wright. Perhaps either we can make a running list here on the talk page or add an invisible list in the characters section similar to the "Do Not Add" bit before the character table, as a means of discouraging the additions of characters from the "leaked lists" that pop up on occasion. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:06, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Invisible list is a good idea, so let's start. (Note: I'm not very skilled with tables, so pardon the un-neatness.)

Daredevil, Gene, Emma Frost, Phoenix Wright (as mentioned), Punisher, Tyrant, Nemesis, Demetri, Human Torch (also mentioned), F4, and Doctor Strange. There appear to be more in that section that I don't recall hearing about, but these I KNOW are not confirmed. There might be some un-notables there, too. Oh yeah, and Mega Man X. Hope this helps. Alex.liu064 (talk) 03:52, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I can verify that all the others currently listed on the page are officially out, save for Loki and Black Panther. Pretty sure Blade was deconfirmed somewhere along the line as well, though. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 04:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I shortened the Absent characters section quite a bit by deleting parts that weren't important. I cut the list down to a few notable characters (basically, the ones who were disconfirmed first: Daredevil, Emma Frost, Gene, Ghost Rider, Punisher, and Phoenix Wright). I kept the currently disconfirmed game series (such as Rival Schools, Powerstone, and Three Wonders) because I think cutting out entire series is notable information. I will comment out a part telling people to not add more characters. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 05:43, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I read somewhere that Cyclops was disconfirmed. 142.26.194.190 (talk) 19:39, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

That was only implied, but Cyclop's inclusion isn't likely anyway. We shouldn't list every single character that was/will be disconfirmed. The disconfirmed characters in the section (Daredevil, Emma Frost, Gene, Ghost Rider, Punisher, and Phoenix Wright) were just used as a few examples of currently disconfirmed characters. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 19:48, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I personally think Capcom decided that 4 X-Men will be enough, considering that there are only going to be 30+ characters. Anyway... I think you guys have done a good job with that section. Anything else that has to be done? Alex.liu064 (talk) 15:49, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Also: Someone added Mega Man X to the list. It needs a citation, but I think he's notable enough to stay. Alex.liu064 (talk) 14:33, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't know. I guess we can add X. There are actually some people who believe that since X was taken off the page, Capcom is reconsidering his inclusion. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 15:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I strongly think it was a mistake to include some of these characters in this list. Especially since it was not confirmed by Capcom. Who is the person in authority in this matter?. -Shadeofgood ^(TALK) 21:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

...the people who have been providing these deconfirmations are the game's executive producer, as well as Capcom's senior community manager/MvC3 special adviser. You can't get much more official. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 03:44, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

That is not true for several of the characters, the one I am particularly focused on is Mega Man X. I had a group of people review the sources, and what Seth said was not necessary a "deconfirmation". -Shadeofgood ^(TALK) 21:50, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

You had people on a forum speculate. You made a good attempt, but until we get something official, Mega Man X stays deconfirmed. We even have a source about that. If X WAS in, I'd be overjoyed, but there has only been news about his absence. Alex.liu064 (talk) 04:06, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, all I am asking is that the wording of these deconfirmations be changed. The way it is worded makes one believe it to be an absolute statement, and from a mathematical standpoint I proved in these forums that it is not. The only absolute way it can be proven if Capcom says that X or any other character is not in the game. http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/26147065/Is_Mega_Man_X_truly_disconfirmed_based_on_this_evidence?pg=1-Shadeofgood ^(TALK) 22:12, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Just because they claimed at one point that they were trying to add a few more reps (the operative word being "TRYING", as in "it may or may not happen; no promises") doesn't mean that X is among those characters being added. Unless Capcom explicitly says "LOL we changed our minds X is in", he stays on the list of characters confirmed as absent. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 04:24, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't know if you are being open minded on this or even taking the time to think about this. I'll seek for someone in authority to dispute this page until a fair, honest and sincere agreement is made. -Shadeofgood ^(TALK) 22:31, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

It's not a matter of being open-minded. It's a matter of taking the words of a Capcom employee at face value over trusting the word of a random user who has never made any wiki contributions before today. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 04:38, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

It's not a matter of trust, all I am asking you to do is think. You do have it right at taking the words of Capcom employees at face value, but you are not taking it all unfortunately. If you did, then I wouldn't be on here trying to help the validity of Wikipedia.-Shadeofgood ^(TALK) 22:44, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

There is a source where Seth Killian stated that Capcom didn't have time to incorporate characters such as Phoenix Wright, Gene, and Mega Man X. Unless you have a reliable source where a Capcom employee such as Killian or Niitsuma specifically states otherwise, then based on the current evidence, X stays disconfirmed..............you also copied my signature..... -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 14:21, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that's part of the equation. The other part what Seth stated after his first statement, if time permits they will squeeze to add other characters. That statement should nullify the first because the key word is "time". . . . sorry about copying your font. I did a copy and paste to add into this conversation.-Shadeofgood ^(TALK) 08:46, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Your equation counts as "original research". Seth said they would "try" to squeeze in a couple more characters. However, we can't assume that Capcom "will" add more characters. We also can't assume that X is among the characters being included IF Capcom is adding characters. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 15:47, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Well said. It appears there is nothing more I can say at this point.-Shadeofgood ^(TALK) 10:15, 12 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.174.58.60 (talk)

Besides, your argument could apply to all characters listed in that section. It would be too much trouble to change the article to match what you think. Thanks for your concern, though. Alex.liu064 (talk) 18:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

In theory, yes it does apply to characters besides X, mainly characters such as Phoenix Wright, Gene, and any other that were mentioned by Seth during that stream in regards to time. I can't say that this applies to characters such as Silver Surfer and Ghostrider because they gave definite reasoning as to why they will not be in the game.-Shadeofgood ^(TALK) 14:26, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I know there will be an argument against this, but... can't we just delete that section? Like what Cyberlink said at the very beginning: LOTS of characters are going to be absent. And there's so much controversy about the list... Alex.liu064 (talk) 01:38, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

I've actually been kind of on the fence with the whole Absent Characters section too. While some tidbits about disconfirmed characters, such as Tyrant and Nemesis, are interesting, is it necessary to address their exclusions? I'm not sure. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 02:32, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

I think that would be a good idea. It wouldn't hurt to say something about deconfirmed characters, but doesn't seem necessary to go into the details of each character or even who they are. -Shadeofgood ^(TALK) 22:46, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

So, can I just get rid of it now, or is there anything else that needs to be done? Also, does anyone have anything to say in defense of that section? Alex.liu064 (talk) 22:35, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Don't get rid of the entire section. There might be some significant parts to it.

"Niitsuma has also stated that about a third of the potential roster will consist of characters who did not appear in Marvel vs. Capcom 2."
(I've heard that about half the characters will be new, instead of a third. If we could find a source, that would be great)
"Writer Frank Tieri confirmed that Marvel has allowed for full use of their library of characters for storyline purposes, and that several non-playable characters such as the Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Man-Thing, Blade, Mojo, and Kingpin will make cameo appearances in the stages and endings."

I'm not sure if the first sentence is very important, but the second one about non-playable characters making cameo appearances and such seems significant to me. We just need to find a way to incorporate it into another section of the article without the Absent Characters section. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 23:34, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

That first sentence should go in playable characters. The next lines... story? Does that sound good? Alex.liu064 (talk) 03:53, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Do you mean the Plot section? The best place for the second statement would probably be the third paragraph of the Gameplay section; it talks about the storyline there. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 04:00, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Looks like Zero is in the game. This definitely strengthens the absence of X. http://www.gamespot.com/showcases/marvelvscapcom3?sid=6284010&overridePid=995376 -Shadeofgood ^(TALK) 10:16, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

So... I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia. Storyline details go in Gameplay? If it does, then so be it. Also, would it be notable to mention characters that couldn't be in (like how Demetri's Midnight Bliss would be a memory hog)? Alex.liu064 (talk) 22:51, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Uh...well, I don't know either...it's just kinda there. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 23:12, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

So, I went ahead and took down all of the "disconfirmed" characters and franchises; listing only a few characters such as Ghost Rider and Phoenix Wright while others remain off this page seems kind of pointless. I'm not sure if the reasons behind character exclusions such as the ones for Tyrant, Nemesis, Demitri, etc., are notable enough, but for now, let's keep them until we reach a consensus. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 23:26, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah. Much better. I just thought that the reasons for the deconfirmations of Tyrant, Demetri, etc. might be interesting tidbits to read. I'm still unsure of their notability. Other than that, I think the changes are just fine. Alex.liu064 (talk) 00:33, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Characters from the Breath of Fire series have been confirmed to not be in the game, and apparently Venom (Spider-Man), Captain Commando(Captain Commando), Scarlet Witch (X-Men), the Punisher (Punisher) will not be in the game either. As for the "Is X in or not?" contraversy, one of Zero's alternate costumes has X's colour scheme, so I guess that's as much of X or any version of Megaman we'll be seeing in the game. 173.180.72.42 (talk) 02:45, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Do you think Capcom will reveal the real box art before the end of the year? Probably not... -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 18:25, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh...my...god. I'm hoping that the box art on the Gamestop and EB Games websites isn't the one Capcom and Marvel are truly planning on using. The characters faces are just so...wrong. Especially Ryu and Hulk...eww. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 08:12, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Playable characters (references)

I find it impractical to provide multiple references for each of the characters, instead of using a single reliable source, such as the official Marvel vs. Capcom 3 website. We should probably only add a reference for newly-annouced characters (during the period of time when they aren't listed on the website). What do you think? -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 04:39, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Makes perfect sense to me. I say go for it. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 16:05, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

It's done, but I didn't really know a good place to put the reference. -WANINOKOZ ^(TALK) 16:23, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

The TvC article places it at the top of the table; just put it once next to "Marvel" and once next to "Capcom".

By the way, I can't find the source that says that Storm and C. Viper will be in the game...

GameSpot has the trailers and gameplay videos. Their entries should be added to the site soon. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 21:48, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

DLC

A slight math error has been made. While 30 characters have been revealed, the two DLC characters are not necessarily part of the total roster of 40 (if that's what the number of playable characters is) because without downloading them the total roster would only be 38. So technically the total roster would either be 38 or 40 without the DLC and 40 or 42 with the DLC. 207.216.200.81 (talk) 03:52, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

The number of empty spots on the US MvC3 website doesn't really prove anything (the Japanese website only has two "slots" left). Right now, we have a couple of sources that point to 36 being the final (on-disc) roster count. -wANINOKOZ ^♪♫♪ 11:46, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

This may be obvious, but does Wikipedia allow info from magazine scans? This review indicates that the game will only have 36 characters. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 02:34, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Someone also took pictures of the back of the MvC3 box. The box said 32 playable characters, but we know there are four hidden characters as well (32 available at the start). With these sources, could we finally say that the final build features 36 characters with 2 additional characters available as downloadable content? -wANINOKOZ ^♪♫♪ 03:31, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

The absent character section is more about who couldn't be in the game, rather than just not in the game. So I guess there's still some point to it... TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 12:41, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

"final build"

Should the adjective "final" be removed from this wording? It is not cited and Niitsuma suggested the possibility of further DLC. It seems "final" is WP:OR or WP:SYNTHESIS at best.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:05, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

That's the thing: according to GamesTM's review, the final retail build of the game features 36 characters, not including DLC. EuroGamer also verified that Hsien-Ko and Sentinel would be the last characters present on the retail disc. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 14:10, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Should we then clarify "final retail build"?--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:12, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Rephrased to remove ambiguity. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:40, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Galactus

There's been a lot of speculation but footage has leaked confirming that Galactus is the final boss of Arcade mode (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a72R8mokdNA). Should he be included with the rest of the roster but with a note that he is not playable? I don't know. Agent Chieftain (talk) 05:07, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Traditionally, bosses have gone unlisted on the character table, as it's meant to only include PLAYABLE characters. Nothing wrong, however, with mentioning him in the Gameplay portion of the article, as was done with Yami on the TvC page.

Of course, this is AFTER we get confirmation of Galactus from Capcom and not relying solely on leaked footage. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 06:14, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Voice cast

So yeah...the credits have been leaked, and a list I made tying all the voices to their respective characters has been circulating around and prompting a lot of edits. I know we don't usually add leaked info before Capcom comes out and confirms it, but given how the English cast has been a repeated point of contention over the last year and it's related to the credits, not the content of the game itself, should we hold back on the usual damage control and just let people add the correct VAs to the appropriate pages? -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Screw it. Pandora's box has been opened; no way it's getting closed again at this point. I'm just gonna make sure that all the info gets added correctly... -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:27, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Where was it leaked? Was it a reliable source? If not I'm afraid it cant be added.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 21:00, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

The source was the game itself. People have gotten their hands on retail copies (with photographic evidence to prove it) and posted the credits in HD to YouTube, along with plenty of other footage. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 21:06, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Really, I want to say, "wait for official confirmation", but with games leaking left and right, this IS, in a way, official. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 21:59, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

That, and I've seen credits from games that have broken street date used as a source before. Ultimate Alliance 2 and Dissidia come immediately to mind... -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 23:09, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Here's a YouTube of the credits. Looks official to me. Kind of surprised at some of the voice talent involved... Zidane4028 (talk) 19:52, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, we've seen that. Speaking of voice actors, are we going to put the voice actors in the table or is that something usually looked down upon on Wikipedia? TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 23:05, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, that's where I got the cast from. Also, no need to put it in the table since they're already on the MvC series page. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 02:18, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Mega Man?

Is there any reason Zero's inclusion over Mega Man hasn't been noted on the article? Niitsuma has made comments about it twice, and I'd say one of Capcom's most iconic characters not making the cut is fairly noteworthy. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 21:17, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. - Webspidrman 19:03, 9 February 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.9.228.168 (talk)

Done. -Crimsonseiko (talk) 15:46, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Fix the Japanese title

The Japanese subtitle of the game is フェイト オブ トゥー ワールド　(Feito obu Tuu Waarudo), not フェイト オブ トゥー ワールズ　(Feito obu Tuu Waaruzu). Although there is a plural S on "Worlds" in the English that appears on the Japanese box art, the katakana printed therewith contradicts this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessejace (talk • contribs) 11:40, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Galactus is the Final Villain

Sorry to spoil it, but it's true. Now we can update the article to include this, no? 173.180.89.129 (talk) 11:04, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

The article was already updated accordingly some time ago. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 14:49, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

It's understandable that you missed it, because he's only mentioned in the article once. But in case you decided to bring him up here because you did not see him in the character table, I'll use this as a oppurtunity to remind potential editors that Galactus does not belong in character table because he is not playable. That's already happened once, while Yami has been put in the table over at the TvC article... TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 18:05, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Eh? I didn't say I wanted to put Galactus in the character table. I get from the trailers that he isn't playable. The Plot section says "Doctor Doom has assembled the greatest villains of the Marvel Universe and has joined forces with Albert Wesker in order to unite their respective universes in an effort to conquer both. However, this course of action awakens a great and powerful threat that could potentially destroy both worlds. It is up to the heroes of the Marvel and Capcom universes to put a stop to this evil before it is too late." What I am suggesting is changing "a great and powerful threat" to "Galactus" or at least "Galactus, a great and powerful threat that could potentially destroy both worlds." 173.180.89.129 (talk) 13:40, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

That's why I said "just in case". Plus, since the story mode is really just another arcade mode, there's not much to say about the story right now. Galactus is indeed the final boss, but to me, saying that he's the threat that Wesker and Doom were awakening could be original research. (Emphasis on the "could". If I'm wrong, someone let me know.)

Names

I think the feature of the characters calling each other's names when tagging in and out should be mentioned. It's new and it's neat. B-Machine (talk) 04:05, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

It is new and neat, but it's an extremely minor detail that I don't think deserves mention. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 04:50, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
