Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Message Board older than one year ago

Marvel.com seems to have accidentally revealed two more Marvel vs. Capcom 3 characters ahead of time. Character art and screenshots depicting Thor and Okami's Amaterasu appeared in Marvel.com's gallery for the game, though it seems to have been taken down since.

However, because sites like Omega-Level saved the images, and because you can see one in this very post, and because at the Thor character art remains in Marvel's gallery at this moment, it doesn't really take much faith to believe in these two gods. We'll probably learn more details during tomorrow's MvC3 Comic-Con panel.

Roster grows by two more.

Four new characters and Ryu finally learns to aim up. Is it Spring 2011 yet?

Though the Comic-Con festivities don't technically kick off until tomorrow, Capcom's getting things started early with a batch of new character announcements for Marvel vs. Capcom 3. From the Marvel universe, iron-clad antagonist Doctor Doom will be making a nefarious appearance, along with the multifaceted Super Skrull. From Capcom's titles, the pint-sized powerhouse Chun-Li joins the fray, as does Devil May Cry's femme fatale, Trish.

Check out some gameplay footage featuring these new characters in the video posted after the jump, or catch a glimpse of some of their special abilities in the gallery below. Also, doesn't Super Skrull have like, every power ever? That hardly seems fair.

Chun-Li highlights new roster additions.

Want to see insane fighting game skills on display? The annual EVO fighting game tournament promises to be full of amazing comebacks, seemingly endless combos and furious Hadoken duels -- and you'll be able to watch it both online and on TV. Capcom announced that G4 will stream coverage of the event on its website through the whole July 9-11 tournament, and will also run a special EVO edition of X-play on July 20. If they have any sense, Pringles will be sponsoring the broadcast.

If you'd prefer to watch the world's best fighting game players vie for golden FightSticks firsthand, you can head to Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, and get a chance to play the first public demo of Marvel vs. Capcom 3!

During E3, we bent the ear of Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds producer Ryota Niitsuma, who in turn gabbed about the new game and previous Vs titles, as well as the possibility of a new arcade stick partnership with Mad Catz. The full interview follows.

Joystiq: We've heard different stories about the origin of Marvel vs Capcom 3 -- both that development started as a result of strong sales of the HD re-release of Marvel vs Capcom 2 and that it was in development long before that. Which is it?

Ryota Niitsuma: Both games were being developed independently -- one didn't lead to the other, as it were. While we were getting the ball rolling on MvC3, the downloadable version of Marvel vs Capcom 2 was being repackaged and distributed. And then that was really successful, as you know, and because of that, it had kind of an impact on Marvel vs Capcom 3. We thought then that the game would be really big and people would be excited about it, so then we were more hopeful and expectant of what would happen with Marvel vs Capcom 3.

We suggest ten characters that may or may not take you for a ride in MvC3.

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds looks Human Torch hot (character not confirmed) on the E3 showfloor -- but these limited edition shirts worn by Capcom staff were certainly another eye-catcher around the booth. The picture above doesn't do this high-quality shirt justice. We've got two medium-sized shirts to give away -- not to the same person, mind you -- so just follow these rules:

• Leave a comment telling us who would win in a fight: Marvel or Capcom?
• You must be 13 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec).
• Limit 1 entry per person.
• This entry period ends at 12:00PM ET on Monday, June 21, 2010.
• At that time, we will randomly select 2 winners. Please note: Shirts are awesome and not for resale.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has always been the fighting game for people who don't like fighting games -- while other titles in the genre offer up split second reaction requirements and deep combo sets, MvC2 focused on flashy graphics and relatively easy moves. While the depth is there if you want to look for it, the focus is on the fun of teaming big shiny Marvel characters up with their Capcom counterparts and slugging it out for as many hits as possible.

We got to see the game at at pre-E3 event a few weeks ago, and along with a nice graphical upgrade and a few control tweaks and character additions, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 continues the tradition well.

In-game screenshots show off epic battles betwixt superheroes.

Everything you love just got better.

Originally announced in Game Informer, Capcom has taken the wraps off of two new Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds characters: the sarcastic, sword- and pistol-wielding Dante from Devil May Cry, and the sarcastic, sword- and pistol-wielding Deadpool.

Later on in the trailer, we see Ryu and Wolverine stop fighting to gawk at some kind of crazy space vortexy thing. We're guessing that even more playable characters will emerge from it -- or that it will, itself, be a playable character. That would certainly shake things up.

#clips This new trailer for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is a lot like the first one, with two major differences - Dante and Deadpool. More »

There will be a few surprises, too.

Click image to jump into our gallery Capcom has finally released some in-game shots of Marvel vs Capcom 3. The screens are missing HUD elements, but that's fine -- we just wanted to see how the game would "blur the line between 2D and 3D graphics." Frankly, we're surprised it doesn't look more like Super Street Fighter IV. And not a single curleh mustache in sight? How will the fans react?

Head into our gallery below to check out the new screens, which feature a Ryu vs Wolverine match-up, Iron Man shooting Morrigan in the face and a trigger-happy Chris Redfield taking on The Hulk.

Watch MT Framework do its thing in these full res shots of Capcom's new ultimate crossover fight.

New details emerge on the new "exchange button," Deadpool's special moves, and more.

Big numbers for the latest crossover fight. But it's just one of Capcom's major 2010 releases.

The fighting series returns with a brand new look.

Producer, Ryota Niitsuma sits down to talk about the upcoming game.

The fate of the world depends on you.
