I am not too keen on a non-humanoid character in a fighting game where the rest of the cast is.

Short characters/hunched over ones can already be annoying enough as it is.

This’ll be interesting indeed.

It’s going to feel weird playing as a character that doesn’t stand up.

It can work :bgrin:

Just give her a hitbox like a normal character, just… like… an invisible one. I dunno.

Agree here, which is why I’m not excited about Viewtiful Joe.

However, I will say that the MvC3 dev team has been doing a great job putting together the movesets for the roster thus far, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully, they put together some unique and this just isn’t a gimmick, throw-in.

Someone said it was fake…I’m not sure, but we haven’t heard from Capcom, so I wouldn’t go calling Amaterasu your main.

This certainly doesn’t look fake.

Why would Marvel put up screenshots of characters that aren’t going to be in the game.

Alright yeah, I’ve looked into it further, looks really legit now. Awesome! I still don’t like a dog hitbox though…

It’s on Marvel.com.

How can it be fake?

It’s definitely real!

The Bitch is Back :tup:

This is sweet, people have wanted Amaterasu in the game and I’m glad she made it, wonder if Gene would make it too? But that’s for another topic.

Hmm given her height, you think she can low crouch under projectiles and beam supers?

Never played Okami before, but Amaterasu looks freaking amazing.

Here’s to hoping she’s viable…

gene from godhand wont make the cut. confirmed by niitsuma.

I mentioned a while back in the Dormammu thread that Amaterasu would be a perfect Capcom answer to the threat of the aforementioned character. Amaterasu is the goddess of all creation who’s specialty is exercising demon’s and otherwordly Dark Lord’s. Besides, Ammy’s design is absolutely amazing. Im sure they will make it work.

LOL at people already complaining about hitboxes without playing the game yet. Im sure they will find a way to make it interesting, and if her hitboxes turns out to be screewy it wouldn’t at all be the first time in FG history that people have had to alter combos/strats because of character size. Nothing to complain about, just variety baby!

Imo i think Ammy will play similar to Talbain from DS. As i recall(havent played it in awhile) he went on all fours alot of the time for dashes an certain attacks, granted he stood on 2 feet alot too. She will prolly have ducking type moves but alil tweaking on her hit box should ensure she isnt another Servbot from Mvc2 type deal.

If her hitbox is broken, then I’m maining her day 1.

Im going to make her one of my mains by default lol. People having difficulty zoning me/comboing me would be a nice fucking bonus though.

fucking hype, people. This is crazy.

GO AMATERASU!
