Marvel vs Capcom 3 - ULTIMATE Rip-Off

[Kalyx triaD]

While the trailer hints at the roster line-up, it doesn't provide clues on how the game will play. Besides several recognizable special moves -- Hulk's asphalt projectiles, Morrigan's Izuna Drop, and Ryu's super fireball -- MvC3 is something of a mystery. We do know that the characters are rendered in 3D, though the gameplay is strictly 2D -- in the same direction as Street Fighter 4 and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Even the series' trait, the team battles, remains to be seen. "We're still looking if it'll be 2-versus-2 or 3-versus-3," says Niitsuma. However, he adds that fans will recognize the fighting system: a mix of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. "It'll be definitely be faster than what you saw in TvC, and for the mechanics, we wanted to make it easier for people to get off moves easier than, say, Marvel vs. Capcom 2." Niitsuma's words will likely please MvsC2 seasoned players, who thrive off the adrenaline rush provided by MvsC2's frenetic pacing.
