SRK UMvC3 version 2013 Character Poll

I was under the impression Capcom couldn’t add Linn Kurosawa due to obvious copyright issues with Aliens vs Predator, since that clearly isn’t Capcoms IP.

Anyway,

Marvel:

All from Dr. Strange’s universe, except Blade:

Clea
Wong
Blade
Umar
Baron Mordo

Capcom:

Bishamon (Darkstalkers)
Lou (Three Wonders)
Siva (Three Wonders)
Saki (from Tatsunoko vs Capcom, but she’s from some obscure quiz game originally)
Dr Wily (needs no introduction)

Marvel:

  1. Symbiote(Carnage/Venom) - I think the presence of a symbiote, especially Carnage, would have a lot of options. Decent ranged normals, Carnage or Venom would have a projectile, relatively decent mobility, but I feel Venom would be too close to a Spider-man clone.
  2. Thanos - With the movie coming out, it only makes sense. Plus, he would fit in rather well with the current meta of the game and I think his transition form Marvel 2 to Marvel 3 would be a welcome change.
  3. Bastion - They already make a reference to him in the game, might as well go all in and put him in. Great mobility, good projectiles - all in all, he’d be of the same caliber as Magneto if not better.
  4. Psylocke - A popular Marvel 2 character who I think would also make a very nice transition into Marvel 3 considering the current meta.
  5. Gambit - Just gonna gush, Gambit is one of my favorite Marvel characters of all time. So I’d gladly see him in.

Capcom:

  1. Copy X - I would like to see a villain from the Megaman series to make it in. I’m assuming they chose Zero because of the events of Megaman Zero, so putting in either Sigma or Copy-X would be appropriate. This would also give Capcom a balance for most of their series used.
  2. Samunoske - A character from the Onimusha series would fit in extremely well here, with mild similarities to Dante, his playstyle would be equally damaging and less flashy. Which also leads me to…
  3. Nobunaga - A recurring villain from the Onimusha series who I think would be well adapted into Marvel. He has the potential to be a zoning character with some strong support as well.
  4. Batsu - Another warrior in the Capcom series, I think he has a lot of potential to perform really well in a Marvel setting(just look at TvC, he wasn’t too bad at all).
  5. Sagat - He’s the f’in’ King. He’d have strong zoning tools, deal really good damage and his height gives him really good pokes. His only issue would be his air game, but giving him some type of ground bounce move in the air would make up for it.

You sir, are full of so much fucking win.

Not just Lou, but Siva too. You are my new favorite person.

not to derail the thread, but would people rather have infinity gauntlet thanos or infinity gauntlet-less thanos with just his innate abilities?
edit: well i guess no one really cares. i find it funny how silver surfer has fallen out of popular request considering how requested he was before.

A bit of commentary about my picks:

In general, I avoided going completely mental with my picks, forfeiting some of the ridiculous/mega obscure character I’d might have chosen if I was the only person responsible for defining the roster. Otherwise my list would include the likes of Doop, Devil Dinosaur, Kid Loki, Winter Soldier, Sagat etc.

Marvel picks:

ULTRON is one of my favorite villains from the Avengers comics. An unstoppable, genocidal artificial inteligence with oedipal complex is kind of a terrifying concept. Marvel’s next mega crossover event is named “Age of Ultron”, so you can probably guess that he is going to play a major role in that. Plus: his design rocks.

THANOS is the villain Marvel is most strongly pushing right now. After his cameo at the end of Avengers, it has been announced that he will play a big part in Marvel’s movies coming in the future (Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers sequel), whilst in the comics front, Marvel will soon publish a new mini-series by a seriously high-profiled creative team telling Thanos origin (“Thanos Rising”). And if that was not enough, yesterday Marvel released a teaser that Thanos will probably be at the center of the next crossover event after the upcoming “Age of Ultron”.
DAREDEVIL is a classic, charismatic, well-loved Marvel super-hero that happens to star one of the most critically acclaimed comic series from the last couple of years. Plus it will finally allow for the soon-to-be fan-favorite Team Lawyers: She-Hulk, Phoenix Wright, Daredevil

CAPTAIN MARVEL. Carol Danvers is one of Marvel’s leading female heroes, and her profile nowadays is higher than ever before, what with her taking on the legacy of Captain Marvel, becoming an Avenger etc. And God knows this game needs more heroic gals. IMPORTANT NOTE: there is basically zero chance that Marvel will add Carol Danvers to the roster in the form of Ms. Marvel. That is the past. If she makes it, it will be as Captain Marvel. At most, Ms. Marvel’s outfit would be Captain Marvel’s alternate costume. Also, considering that they are essentially the same character – the only difference being the costumes -, all votes for Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel should be merged. It makes no sense to count the votes for each of them separately.

BLACK PANTHER is maybe the most well-known black super-hero, and is hella cool. This game needs diversity and coolness, therefore Black Panther should be in. Plus: team Illuminati (Black Panther, Iron Man, Dr. Strange)!!!

Capcom picks: well, these are a mix of nostalgia from the original Marvel vs. Capcom days (MEGAMAN, CAPTAIN COMMANDO, JIN SAOTOME) and fanboyism (GOUKEN is my favorite SF character; HAUZER is a giant freaking dinosaur who has already starred in fighting games).
