DAY 3 PART 2
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 panel!
First they talked about spectator mode which the crowd was hyped about. We saw the Nova and Phoenix Wright reveal trailers. The crowd roared louder for Phoenix Wright! Nitsuma said that PW was included because of fan demand. He also said that he’s obviously not a K1 fighter lol so they worked hard with the Phoenix Wright development team to come up with a move list for him. Nitsuma was happy that the crowd liked Phoenix so he said he was going to tell that to the producer. Someone yelled “GIVE US MILES EDGEWORTH 2!” Nitsuma also said he would say that to the producer. :lol:
I’m sure you all know by now that they’ve been doing alternate costume color breakdowns for the characters online but the cool thing was they did it right in front of us! Chris Baker started off with Spider-Man because he said what better character to show off to New York? GO SPIDEY GO! New to Spider-Man were his Big Time suit got altered so it with be black and red instead of black and green. He also has his second Spider-Armor outfit that he got during Slott’s current run! Also the FF suit that we’ve been seeing for a while.
Seth did Felicia. Mainly alternate colors. Seth was jealous that Chris did Spider-Man lol!
They showed us two backgrounds and explained some of the easter eggs. Chris said that for the New York stage there was lots of empty spaces they could fill so they jammed lots of Marvel stuff. Lots of things from Spider-Man comics like a sign for Aunt May’s F.E.A.S.T. organization, Peter Parker’s hangout spot the Coffee Bean, of course the Daily Bugle and even the Oscorp logo. We also saw the random Spider-Man comic where the Intenet-Bubble came from.
There’s an alternate for the Metro City stage that’s made to look like Days of Future Past! Final Fight’s Two P is replaced with a thug that showed up in the Days of Future Past Storyline. There are two giant Sentinels and they are the same as the DLC Sentinel skin you can get with the pre-order bonus. They also have that famous image of all the head shots of characters who are missing or deceased up against a wall. But instead of having solely X characters the images are replaced with Marvel and Capcom MvC2 characters that are not returning!
On Mega Man’s head shot it does not say if he is missing or deceased, it is left blank. A fan asked Nitsuma if he was trolling us. He said yes. 
Then he tried to explain and said it wasn’t done intentionally and there was one space that had no words and that’s where Mega Man just ended up. The crowd yelled “BULLSHIT!”
We saw a longer trailer of the new intro. Ryu is fighting Nova instead of Wolverine and Vergil is the one fighting Wolverine now. Phoenix Wright is fighting Deadpool. The rest of the intro footage is the same but this time we saw Galactus towards the end.
Then they announced Heroes and Heralds mode. There will be 100 cards of characters that are not in the game and if you equip them you will get special abilities. One card I remember seeing was of Mega Man X. Chris Baker said there is a Howard the Duck card too. Interesting to note is that if you pick Herald mode your character will become silver just like the mid bosses in the game who get Silver Surfer-ized. We saw a video for this mode and using the cards Ryu was able to parry Herald Chun-Li’s Lightning Kick blow for blow! :wow:
This will roll out as free DLC after the game drops and you’ll be able to use the cards online too. Ah well it’s better than those SFxT @#%* gems…
Q&A began. People asked about DLC characters a few times and Capcom kept saying there were no current plans for that.
Someone asked if there were going to be new endings in the game. They said some characters will get new endings and specifically Dante will have a new ending! And of course all of the new characters will get new endings.
An African American guy who was cosplaying as Ultimate Nick Fury and looked EXACTLY like him said that at the Marvel video game panel they announced a mode where you can play as Galactus and was wondering why that was not brought up at our panel. Capcom said it just slipped their minds. Seth said “Should’ve known we couldn’t get anything past Nick Fury!” :smokin:
Seth said that Galactus mode is just as stupid as you think it is LOL as in stupid fun and Heroes and Heralds mode will not work during Galactus mode.
A Phoenix Wright fan wanted to know why he doesn’t use the Magatama or Psyche Locks from the second and third games for his attacks. Nitsuma said that was considered but they couldn’t find a way to implement those moves in time.
Marvel Television and Animation panel time HOORAY! With Jeph Loeb (boooo… lol)!
Jeph took us through all of the upcoming Marvel live action shoes. First up was Jessica Jones. Her show will also feature Carol Danvers (AKA future Ms. Marvel) and Luke Cage! There’s also going to be a Cloak and Dagger series set in post Katrina New Orleans. The Hulk show was touched upon. Hulk will be CGI just like the movies and unlike the old TV show they will focus more on Bruce and Betty’s relationship.
We got to see the trailer for the new Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon! Also a brief behind the scenes real. Cameos aplenty! Doctor Doom was shown in one scene! Also Stan Lee is going to be on the show as Midtown High’s Janitor!
A big change from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics is that S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulsen from the Marvel movies will be on the cartoon playing the same role he does in the movies. Only he will be working undercover as the principal of Midtown High! And just like the movies he will be voiced by Carl Gregg, the same actor who plays Phil! Not only that but Carl paid us a surprise visit! :clapdos:
Carl said that he was a long time comics book fan and said that when he was on The New Adventures of Old Christine he kept asking the writers to introduce Sci-Fi elements into the series. He said “They didn’t listen and look what happened to that show!” Obviously he said he was joking and had nothing but love for the cast and crew of that show.
Back to Ultimate Spider-Man, Jeph said that the Man of Action team that works on the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon is going to write a few episodes of Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. He said now that we have both shows they want to make sure that they both correlate with each other. Hooray a new Marvel Animated Universe! ABOUT TIME MARVEL GAWD… Lol he didn’t confirm if Spider-Man would ever guest star on the Avengers cartoon but it seems likely that this will happen at some point. :tup:
Next we got to see the premiere of the first episode of the second season of Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom in the first ep! :rock:
The big shocker at the end of the panel was that since they had Paul Dini on board for Ultimate Spider-Man they asked him if there are any other Marvel properties he wanted to tackle. He said he loved the old Stan Lee / Jack Kirby cosmic stuff and wanted to use a team strong enough to handle those threats. Enter the Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. show. WHAT THE… :wtf:
The cast will be Hulk, Red Hulk (?), Skaar, Abomb (Rick Jones) and She-Hulk (Jennifer). Again, WHAT THE… Oh well gonna put my faith in Dini for now…
In the Cup o’ Joe panel a few bits of news were dropped like Bendis and Bagley doing another Avengers book called Avengers Assemble. This book will focus on characters that will be featured in the upcoming movie but it will still be a 616 comic.
They announced that Sabretooth is coming back! :tup: But his return will be written by Jeph Loeb. :tdown:
Marvel got the rights to make a comic about Dexter. It will be based more on the world of the novels and less like the Showtime TV series.
There was a giant teaser image of a huge fiery Phoenix Bird with Marvel saying it will return in 2012 but that’s all we got. I hope it means Jean Grey is FINALLY coming back. Preferrably not written by Jeph Loeb. 
Attended a Resident Evil panel after that. They announced that if you reserve Resident Evil Revelations you will get a free 3DS case. It will have that eye image the cover art has and will glow in the dark so the red eye on it will only appear in the dark! MWAHAHAHA…
A cosplayer dressed as Wesker who did a really good impression of Wesker asked Capcom if he was really dead in the series. Capcom just said with Wesker you never know, but at least he’s in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The cosplayer, still in character said, “Yes. That was when I defeated Galactus all by myself. Sorry Captain America.” Oh man we were all cracking up!
Ended the day by watching two episodes of the Tiger and Bunny anime. It was about super heroes for hire kind of, and like race car drivers they even sported logos on their outfits! One girl had a Pepsi logo on her outfit lol! Lots of fun!
That wraps it up for Day 3. Day 4 coming up in a few!
