Recasting "Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3"

Now that we’ve seen the leak for the new characters in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, we’re officially excited: Ghost Rider, Dr. Strange, Strider, Phoenix Wright. Yes. Yes. Yes… And yes. ALL these characters should have been in the original MvC3 so it’s only right that they’re finally making an appearance.
But there are a few bums on the roster who never should have made the game. How they got in there, we have no idea. If we ran Capcom for a day, our first order of business would be to hang with the MvC3 developers and get rid of five scrubs to make room for five studs...

This is an excellent list, Rich. I really don't expect too much when it comes to non-video game or non-comic sites covering video game or comic subjects, but you guys at Complex hit the nail on the head time and time again, complete with obscure references only we, the junkies, would understand. Great work.

why does scarlet witch picture so ugly just saying. so true about power stone I almost forgot about that game. and the only thing MVC3 is for it to promote upcoming movies without making games that suck. honestly they should have brought back the crew from MVC2 and just added on. really pushing that moon knight huh?

I'm liking the list, if any MegaMan, I'm dieing for MegaMan X to be in a game being that he is the fighting type MegaMan. Also, if there is one character want for the game next to MegaMan X, it would be Nobunaga from the Sengoku Basara (Devil King) series, he looks like he would be a great fighter for the game. http://capcom.wikia.com/wiki/Nobunaga_%28Sengoku_Basara%29

maybe you should have waited till the other 8 characters made their debut before saying that Vergil, Nova and Nemisis shouldn't be in the game. But why not Nova? He fills the cosmic character void that Marvel's roster lacks. Will he bee 100% unique from every other character? Probably not. But he certainly has the potential to bring something new to the table unlike Luke Cage who would just play like a smaller Mike Haggar, but with a crowbar instead of a steel pipe. And Punnisher? I think we have enough characters packing heat in this game we don't need another. Though Frank did use a lot of unique tech during Remender's run in the comics, tech from other super heroes. His play-style would be more interesting if they went that rout. But if they stayed true to the character he'd just be more gun's and bombs......"yawn"
