I was moderately interested before. Then friends told me who had made it into the game. And then I found out Lock and Load from Devil May Cry is in the game, remixed with a female vocalist. Dammit. More of my moneys, going away.
Not going to say I'm happy about all the choices....two Doctor Strange villains and no Doctor Strange? Wat. But there are some dark horses in there I never would have expected.
And there's just something awesome about being able to beat up Doctor Doom with Mayor Mike Haggar.
#@@#^(&! Ghosts and Goblins. Hate/Love that @!$$%# game. If you hit Arthur once, does his armor fly off in this game, I wonder?
I remember selling my PS2 just before I heard about Okami. One of my bigger console gamer regrets.
I'm most interested in Deadpool from the Marvel side and the awesomerest mayor ever - Haggar.

^^^^ Deadpool pretty much never stops talking, it seems. Also, that video secured Chris Redfield's spot in my starting team with She-Hulk. The third is going to be so hard to narrow down.
Still can't believe Deadpool's fourth wall breaking super.

If I've read correctly, the armor breaks away after you take a certain amount of abuse, after which you take more damage. I think there might be a benefit to it though, not sure. Maybe something like what they did with Phoenix: she can go Dark Phoenix, which boosts her attacks, but drains her health constantly.

Maybe an alternate move set for armour on/off. I'll have to go watch the trailers again...

Not gameplay, but something to set the mood. ;)
Cinematic Trailer 2 (okay, Captain America and Chun-li will probably be my B-team now...)
Arthur has a second armor set as well that looks like it asks as a risky upgrade, kind of like Dark Phoenix. In one of the trailers it looked like a simple blocking of one of his attacks was enough to knock him out of his armor while he was upgraded. Can't really say for certain what's going on.
No Rogue/Marrow? Pass.
Lost a couple of my favorites from 2 (Captain Commando and Strider Hiryu)... I hope they will be DLC.
Also: Why Tron Bonne and Zero? Why not Megaman, either normal or X?

I'd blame Marvel for Marrow. They so should have taken advantage of the exposure she got from MvC2, but they went and derped it all away by writing her out of the main book and sticking her in that mutant concentration camp series. :(
But Rogue? Actually they could have done some very interesting things with her while working with a 3D engine. It would be much easier to copy-paste moves(with some adjustment) to her than it would be in 2D at the very least.

Also: Why Tron Bonne and Zero? Why not Megaman, either normal or X?
Some folks noted that one of Zero's color schemes is themed on X, so it's not looking likely he's going to make it. Still, more DLC should be a given, so who knows?
Come to think of it, Megaman didn't make it into the second game either did he? The Servbots did... Man, Megaman Legends actually got quite a bit of love from this series.
IN OTHER NEWS: Thor's taunt is ridiculous and made of delicious ham.
Personally, I'm pulling for Howard the Duck to be on the DLC shortlist. And Bleu/Deis from Breath of Fire.
If they don't have Super Joe in the suit from BC as a boss/DLC I'll be sad. Also, if not Deis from BoF, maybe Rei. Go Go Weretiger of Doom?
And maybe if we're lucky an Early Bird cameo of Asura?
Hsien-Ko from Darkstalkers and a Sentinel were just revealed.
Still pulling for Howard the Duck.
Hsien-ko? Hmm. Maybe. There is the femme fatale Darkstalkers team in it...And I've always loved Shulkie...Hm.

At the very least you should check out She-Hulk's Reveal Trailer to see her level 3 super move. ;)
No sour grapes about Hsien-Ko making it in or anything, but I have to note poor Jon Talbain got ignored again. Werewolf Bruce Lee....how can they pass that up....
Still, three Darkstalkers characters over a decade since an actual new Darkstalkers game came out? I think they're probably more well known for the Capcom VS. games than their original series now.
Can't help but think that Captain America and Bionic Commando should have a special scene where Hitler's head explodes. Even if it's a different Bionic Commando.
As a member of the fighting game community; this seems to be a good point to cross-interest check; is anyone here a tournament/competitive player or just casual/for fun players?
Excited about Sentinel reveal. Doubt that Magneto/Storm/Sentinel will run tournaments like in MvC2 though given the changes I've seen so far.
Hope the netcode is good.

The final boss has been revealed.
Sweet Christmas. Do they hate us? Did we do something wrong?

For whatever it's worth, supposedly repeat disconnectors/ragequitters will be paired up only with other disconnectors/ragequitters.
That news should put huge smiles on a lot of folks' faces.
Ok, when is this coming out and which platform will support it? Wii???
Just got back from my FLGS, they had an advanced copy.
Platform: PS3/360.
Releases this upcoming week, Tuesday I believe
Game-play is silky smooth, its a frantic, high damage fighter. Alot of sandbox toys to work with; the depth is definitely there. I know the hardcores will be happy for another 10 years.
Casuals will also like the neat little touches, like paired character special intros- for example, Ironman tells Bionic Commando (Spencer) "you couldnt afford the whole suit, just the arm huh?". Genius.

I'm more amused that Iron Man keeps getting paired with Morrigan in the cinematic trailers. Disturbingly logical, really.
Also on Iron Man, I had Mike Haggar's ending spoiled for me:
Galactus is the last boss? Awesome! He makes you fight Wesker, Doom and Dormmamu at the same time and then he unleashes his giant full screen hitting powers on you? Yes, yes they hate us.
** spoiler omitted **
very very impressed with the game so far.

Im fairly certain that I actually voted for Haggar in the last election, as a write-in.
I read the marvel list and rolled my eyes; these guys arent anywhere near each others power level; depending upon which Phoenix your talking out; sheesh Hulk and Thor are the only ones of same power level and except for Dormammu who is hard to figure, could easy whip anyone anyone in the marvel teir. Must have really had to tone them down to fight in this arena; especially Thor; who has eons of fighting experience and power spades both strength and magical.
how is the feel of the game; how do you play a guys like spiderman who spidey sense lets him avoid and attack is is faster than the eye can see; must be darn hard to control compared to an iron man who hasnt anywhere near the agility. Rest of them all seem fairly comparable.
I dont know much about the other guys.

Jon Talbain's level of priority was obnoxious, and this is coming from a die-hard anti-shoto. Putting him in the game alongside shotos and psuedo-shotos would lead to headaches.
Despite a road freight industry strike affecting distribution in South Africa, I managed to get a copy over the weekend and squeezed in a few hours of play.
So far, my preferred team is Hulk, Chun Li and Chris. Mayor Haggar is a close second after Hulk.
I'll try and write a little bit more about my experience with the game later.

It takes a bit of work for him to lose his armour, but you can get it back on. The game is awesome, a button bashers dream :)

Tron Bonne is tons of fun to play, both for button basher me and those who don't bash :0

I find all of the characters you mentioned hard to play, it could just be me though. Overall though it's a game I'd say you should get if you're on the fence.

1. Pick Phoenix as your third character.
2. Fill power bar up to Level 5.
3. Tag in Phoenix.
4. COME AT ME BRO
5. /trollface
Dante is almost too fun to play. Cripes, it really makes me just want to play more Devil May Cry. I refuse to have him use any support ability other than his electric guitar power slide.
Hulk's nicknames for the other characters amuse me.
Morrigan = Goth Girl
Felicia = Cat Girl
Wolverine = Puny Man
Iron Man = Metal Man
Viewtiful Joe = Funny Helmet Man
Sentinel = Robot
Amaterasu = DOG
Deadpool never shuts up.
I beat Galactus to death with a metal pipe. Haggar is the best mayor ever.
I really want the version of Resident Evil presented in Hulk's ending.
Arthur seems to have incredible potential to infuriate.
I swear this is the first time I've heard Morrigan with an actual Scottish accent.
She-Hulk is AWESOME once you get momentum going.
I still really hope Howard the Duck is future DLC content.

But...but....Werewolf Bruce Lee! He even does the Bruce Lee yowl as howls!

It's a fighting game. Applying logic to it is a lost cause. :P

It's not like Liu Kang can beat up Superman or Kratos... Oh, wait, nevermind...
I find it funny he complains on the marvel side when we have Chris Redfield, very much a normal human, punching out Galactus. After that all bets are off.And Deadpool is awesome. Did you guys notice he yells YO MOMMA when he kicks? It's HILARIOUS. I can barely use him sometimes it cracks me up so much.

I find the Deadpool fights the best to watch while waiting my turn to play :0
