6 new (ish) Characters confirmed for Marvel Versus Capcom 3!

So Capcom has come to Comic-con and by no means have disappointed in news about their latest fighting game master craft Marvel Versus Capcom 3. We have news of 6 playable characters confirmed to join the MVC cast and you will be surprised by some of the inclusions.

Yesterday Capcom showed off a brand new trailer showing off 4 characters, and here it is.

So to little surprise Dr. Doom will be returning to the cast, and to no one’s surprise so will Chun-li, but both are solid additions to the roster. The biggest news out of this trailer is the presence of new characters Super Skrull, and Trish.

While Super Skrull was pretty much confirmed when Capcom released the teaser silhouettes with the initial reveal, Trish is a rather surprising addition. Both appear to be deadly in combat with the Super Skrull using his shape shifting abilities to what looks like copy the Fantastic Fours abilities, and Trish using a Demonic Sword, with an emphasis on Arial combat.

Also Thursday brought the announcement that Thor and Amaterasu will also be included in the brawl for the century. While Thor is no surprise since he has a movie coming out next year, Amaterasu is a shocking reveal. While Capcom has been all too proud of Okami, proud enough to shut down Clover studios, I don’t think anyone expected the goddess wolf to end up in The Fighter. I have yet to see footage of either combatant in motion so I cannot comment on their Fighting style.

This brings the total number of confirmed combatants up to 16 out of the expected 30.

Marvel Versus Capcom 3 is releasing next Spring. Expect more news out of Comic-con as the week continues, and leave your thoughts and comments below, or at the site watchplayread.com's forums!

Notes

Don’t you miss the days of Confirmed for Brawl?

I know there is a name for Trish’s sword but I don’t remember

S. Skrull having the Fantastic Fours Powers isn’t too surprising since the quartet will not be appearing in the game for undisclosed reasons.
