\"\"<\/a>Well, I just got Marvel vs. Capcom 3, so the next two blogs from me here will be about the characters you can play as so far! Since I know a lot about Capcom characters, we\u2019ll do them first.<\/p>\n

But before that, I wanted to bring your attention to Boxer the Unboxer. Remember when I wrote about \u2018unboxing\u2019 the LBP2 Collector\u2019s Edition?<\/a><\/strong> Well, I had Boxer the sock puppet puppy unbox the collector\u2019s edition of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as well! You can see it if you click here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

General Impressions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basically they took everything I loved about Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and amplified it for MvsC3. So yeah, it\u2019s pretty great. I love the option to do Simple controls, so even people like me, who stink at fighting games, can pull off cool moves and stuff. The graphics are excellent and I love how the stages actually have something to do with Capcom and Marvel settings now. Not only that, but the generic elevator music for the stages is gone, and the fighters have their own theme songs now. Definitely a lot of fun for fans of Capcom\u2019s Vs. series. Anyway, here\u2019s a brief look at all the characters on the Capcom side of this game, along with my silly observations about them:<\/p>\n

Tron Bonne<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think she\u2019s my favorite character in this game, and one of my favorite Capcom stars overall. She\u2019s a great villain in the Mega Man Legends series, and her Servebots are so darn adorable. How can you NOT like them? Tron Bonne was so popular that she even got her own game! And even though I\u2019m excited about Mega Man Legends 3 that was announced on 3DS, I\u2019d much rather have a sequel to The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. I appreciate that she plays a lot like how she did in the second MvsC game. One of the stage backgrounds is from Legends as well; it\u2019s the one on \u201cKattelox Islands\u201d with all the fireworks and stuff. There\u2019s also a city stage with parade balloons in the background, and one of them is a Servebot! Tron Bonne\u2019s ending is hilarious in MvsC3, too.<\/p>\n

Amaterasu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her name is too hard to spell, so I just call her the Okami dog. I\u2019m glad they put her in the game, as Okami was my Game of the Year in 2006. I can\u2019t wait for the Okamiden sequel! Only bad thing is that her moves are a bit unconventional, so she\u2019s a bit harder to use than what I had hoped.<\/p>\n

Viewtiful Joe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually my third person I use for my main team. He plays a lot like how he does in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.<\/p>\n

Zero<\/strong><\/p>\n

And speaking of which, so does Zero. Even though I\u2019d rather just have plain old Mega Man, I\u2019m glad original Zero is here nonetheless. Zero has a great ending, too. I love it when Capcom makes fun of themselves.<\/p>\n

Arthur<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s the guy from Ghosts N Goblins, and yes, he can lose his armor here and run around in his \u2018pantaloons\u2019 as he calls them. Control-wise, he reminds me a lot of Mega Man as he has a lot of easy to use projectile weapons. And one of the stage backgrounds looks like the first level from a Ghosts N Goblins game! I like one of his win quotes, he says he\u2019s glad he doesn\u2019t have to beat this game twice!<\/p>\n

Haggar<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think I like the Final Fight arcade game more than what I realize. Haggar has all his moves from that game, including the spinning clothesline move and bashing opponents with a pipe. One of the stage backgrounds is from Final Fight, with Mad Gears graffiti on the buildings and creepy Poison and others watching the fight.<\/p>\n

Hsien-Ko<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not really into the Darkstalkers games, but I think if I had to pick a favorite character from that series, Hsien-Ko would be it. I pick her all the time in Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo anyway. In this game, she has all her silly attacks, and she looks just so darn cute and adorable juggling those blades in her win pose. She might even end up being part of my main team!<\/p>\n

Felicia<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not really into catgirls, so I\u2019m not the biggest Felicia fan in the world. But I have a couple of friends who like her a lot. I guess she\u2019s OK. She has blue hair at least, so that\u2019s cool.<\/p>\n

Morrigan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, I don\u2019t like Morrigan much at all. She\u2019s too fanservice-y, and she\u2019s a succubus and if you know what they do, she\u2019s kind of creepy. Only cool thing I do like about Morrigan is that she has green hair.<\/p>\n

Dante<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only reason why I know who this Devil May Cry character is supposed to be, is because he\u2019s on the box. I never really got into the Devil May Cry games. Not cute enough. I do know that Dante loves pizza, though.<\/p>\n

Trish<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hear she\u2019s from the Devil May Cry games, too. But I\u2019ve never heard of her, which is no surprise since I don\u2019t play those games. She has a blade thing that looks like the Soul Calibur. She\u2019s kind of pretty but also looks really mean.<\/p>\n

Wesker<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s a guy from the Resident Evil games. I think he\u2019s a bad guy but I don\u2019t know. Never got into those games either, myself. Dead Rising is much more my speed, especially since there are Servebot references in them. I do have fun renting and watching the Resident Evil movies, though, even if they are cheesy and bad. They\u2019re just fun to watch and you don\u2019t have to know anything about the games beforehand and I think Milia Jovovich (not sure if I spelled that right) is kind of neat sometimes.<\/p>\n

Chris Redfield<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s another Resident Evil character that I don\u2019t care about, so we\u2019ll just move along.<\/p>\n

Jill Valentine<\/strong><\/p>\n

I usually call her \u201cJill Sandwich.\u201d I think she\u2019s the only RE character I like. Although I liked her better in MvsC2 when she had her police uniform. She\u2019s a DLC character here, though, so I haven\u2019t tried her yet, so we\u2019ll see how she plays on March 15.<\/p>\n

Ryu<\/strong><\/p>\n

OK, now for the Street Fighter guys. I know he\u2019s kind of the main character, but Ryu is so BORING! I don\u2019t know why Capcom keeps using him!<\/p>\n

Akuma<\/strong><\/p>\n

And he\u2019s really boring, too. Just a really mad Ryu. I do like how in Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, all he says is \u201cMMMMMM.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chun-Li<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do like Chun-Li, though. At least she looks like she can fight stuff with those big ol\u2019 legs of hers.<\/p>\n

C. Viper<\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess Capcom wanted to put someone from SF4 in here, and C. Viper is kind of cool I guess. But I\u2019d much rather them put Juri or Rufus in MvsC3 instead. Especially Juri. I thought she was pretty cool, even though she was kind of mean.<\/p>\n

Spencer<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s the guy from Bionic Commando, but I\u2019m not sure if he\u2019s from Rearmed or the new 3-D one. He even uses his bionic arm to pull people closer to him and says \u201cget over here\u201d like in Mortal Kombat! I think it would be cool if they used the blocky 8-bit version of his character. I guess it\u2019s probably good that I\u2019m not making fighting games, huh?<\/p>\n

Cary\u2019s top 5 DLC characters I\u2019d like to see<\/strong><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all the Capcom characters in MvsC3. I don\u2019t know if they\u2019ll have more DLC characters later. But if they do, here are my top 5 choices as to what I\u2019d like in the game<\/p>\n

Phoenix Wright<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, I know Capcom has made it crystal clear to fans that he won\u2019t be here, but I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m just such a huge Ace Attorney fan that I wanted to see some representation in this game. Heck, I hate the Prof. Layton games, but I\u2019ll get the Phoenix Wright crossover one anyway if it comes to the US. And I know that Phoenix isn\u2019t supposed to be a fighter, so maybe instead they could put in the Steel Samurai, which is a character from a fictional TV show in the games. Plus he has a cool theme song.<\/p>\n

Mega Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yup, just plain ol\u2019 Mega Man. He was on my main team in MvsC2, so I\u2019d like to see him return.<\/p>\n

Cammy<\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u2019s my favorite Street Fighter character, and also was on my main team in the last game. I know they used the Shadowloo version last time, so maybe this time they could use her red hat version. I like that one better anyway.<\/p>\n

Zack & Wiki<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought this early Wii game was brilliant, and had a lot of old school Capcom charm and challenge. They would make great silly fighters.<\/p>\n

Servebot<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the first MvsC game, Roll was the joke character because she was so small. In the second game, the Servebot was even MORE of a joke character because he was even smaller! He had funny attacks, so I\u2019d like to see him return here. But I know these characters I want probably won\u2019t be DLC. But it\u2019s fun to think about.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/strong><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all I\u2019ve got right now. In the comments section, tell me your favorite MvsC3 characters and who you like to have on your team. And tell me which DLC characters you\u2019d like to have seen. I haven\u2019t played the game online yet, so if you\u2019d like to challenge me, my 360 gamertag is Klonoa360. I really stink at fighting games, so you\u2019ll win a lot, I guarantee it! Next time on my blog I\u2019ll talk about the Marvel characters. I\u2019m totally clueless about comic books, so it should be an entertaining blog since I\u2019ll be BS-ing my way through it. So, also in the comments section, let\u2019s see if you can guess who my favorite Marvel character is in MvsC3! Later! –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
