UMvC3 DLC costume Ideas and predictions

Currently Marvel and Capcom have revealed 24 character's costumes and 18 DLC costumes. I'd like to try my hand at guessing what future costumes may be, be they alternate colors or DLC. This is going to be pretty basic, just a list and possible indication of whether or not it's DLC.

Wolverine: DLC, probably him in civilian clothes, possibly as Patch, his alter ego for when he's a bartender in Madripoor.

Ryu: Ken's Gi and blonde hair, Possibly his Evil Ryu costume, or if they wanted to be really crazy, Dan Hibiki's clothes. But we'll probably just end up with more of his old alternate colors. But I would have guessed that for Amaterasu and the canine warriors, and that proved wrong, so who knows, maybe they'll do something surprising.

Morrigan: Not familiar with her or anyone like her, so possibly just more past alternate colors as well. Maybe something from Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

Hulk: DLC, Gladiator Hulk. It's the last notable costume he's worn. Or maybe he'll wear his new Fear Itself outfit.

Chris Redfield: Again, unfamiliar with him. I'm sure they have alternate costumes for him to wear from past games.

Deadpool: DLC, I honestly got nothing. Maybe his his Captain America costume.

Felicia: DLC, her Nun Habit. As with previous fighting game characters, her past alts will probably be recycled. That, or she might wear fur inspired by The Black Cat or other Dark Stalker characters.

Chun Li: See above comments about fighting game characters.

Super Skrull: A Paibok inspired color and a Fantastic Four uniform. Or maybe a Future Foundation uniform to go with Spidey and Dr. Doom.

Trish: A Lady color? I'm really unfamiliar with most Capcom characters. I only know lady because my friend introduced me to the Devil May Cry anime. Maybe a Jester color scheme.

Amaterasu: DLC, Either a Shiranui costume or her Realistic look that you could unlock after beating the game.

Dormammu: DLC, his Classic costume, since they removed this color.

Viewtiful Joe: DLC, not a lot of options. Maybe Average Joe or fully adopting one of the Jet Black costumes.

X-23: Possibly a color inspired by a costume she wore when teaming up with Spider-Man and an X-Force costume.

Tron Bonne: DLC, Probably just another palette swap like Iron Man, this time the "Heroic-Look" for her Gustaff, which is just the Megaman Volnutt color scheme. If they wanted to go crazy, I'd say go with a Wily Machine look or maybe Devilot from Cyberbots.

Spider-Man: DLC, his original Spider-Armor, since it's been in past games and he already has the other two.

Magneto: His helmet-less look from when he led the X-Men

M.O.D.O.K.: Maybe the Hulk Modok from Marvel Adventures and maybe an Arnim Zola color scheme. Maybe a Ms. Modok outfit to go with his MODAM one. I really don't know about his costumes.

Sir Arthur: DLC, a look inspired by Maximo. For standard colors, one ispired by the Arthur of The Knights of the Round game. And I'm sure they can scrounge up another armor color from one of his games. Either that or a Swordsman color to go with Taskmaster's Black Knight

She-Hulk, DLC, Her Savage She-Hulk outfit from her first issues cover. Either that or her in dress clothes, something for court. In that case they can give her a white outfit inspired by the cover.

Bionic Commando: DLC, his Original look. I know you can wear it in the 2009 game, I saw the code in Re-Armed. as for standard costumes, I don't know, maybe a Groeder color and a Megaman Bad Cover art color.

Shuma Gorath: DLC Him wearing a bow tie. Alt colors can just be past colors he's had.

Zero: DLC, his original Round shoulders from the first Megaman X game. That or his look from Megaman Zero. As for colors, his Black suit and a Vile inspired outfit.

Phoenix: DLC: Marvel Girl costume? Rachel Summers outfit? Goblin Queen? Black Queen? The Actual Jim Lee designed outfit? I have no idea, since she still needs some indication or costume change for when she goes Dark Phoenix.

Jill: DLC, either her S.T.A.R.S. or B.S.A.A. uniforms. As for Alt colors, I don't even knwoe the inspirations to the ones she already has.

Taskamster: DLC, His UDON costume, since they removed the color for it.

Mike Haggar: His Saturday Night Slam Master costume. That or one of the Final Fight sequels outfits. Failing that, Dress Shirt and Tie.

Sentinel: Nimrod and Bastion Colors.

Hsien Ko: Just go back and look at what I said about fighting game characters before. I can't even think of a DLC costume for her. Maybe make her human?

Ghost Rider: DLC, Maybe Ghost Rider 2099. Or maybe one of the Ghost Riders from Around the World.

Firebrand: DLC, His armored look from Ghouls n' Ghosts. That or Red Arremer Joker or his look from the cover of Gargoyle's Quest.

Hakweye: DLC, his Modern costume, his Goliath costume or, for irony's sake, as Bullseye.

Dr. Strange: DLC, One of the alternate costumes he had in Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

Nemesis: DLC, Uhhhh, I got nothing. Seriously. The closest I can come up with is Zombie Giant Man. I know it's stretching. Do you have any ideas, cause I don't.

Iron Fist: DLC, His Modern look. Easy.

Vergil: DLC, I got nothing here either. It should probably be a parallel to Dante's own though.


The Following characters have had no costumes revealed, so I'm doing the bare minimum here.
Rocket Raccoon: A Green Outfit with Grey fur. For DLC his Bubble helmet from the cover of the Hulk comic he premiered in.

Phoenix Wright: Miles Edgeworth and Furio Tigre colors. When your whole role is to look like the main character, but be a different color, you are destined to be an alt for him. Maybe he'll have some other colors based on other lawyers he knows. DLC, Hobo Wright. Simple as that. That's not a prediction, that's a fact.

Nova: Colors based on other Marvel Space heroes. The Original Captain Marvel costume, Silver Surfer, For DLC, his Original outfit, not his new pointier look.

Frank West: See, here we have a problem. He has a lot of costume options, just all of them are DLC possibilities. I know he has at least a few color options from the Dead Rising costume DLC, like his all white outfit and some of his unlockable outfits, like his Convict outfit. As for DLC, if he doesn't have the Real Megabuster move from TvC, then obviously the Megaman costume. If not, I suggest Chuck Greene's outfit or his Willamette Mall employee uniform. Maybe just him in a dress shirt like I've seen him where. Or put him in one of the most ridiculous outfits he can wear, like the Ratman pajamas or him in his or Sir Arthur's underwear. Just so many options.

CALLED IT!

And by it I of course mean Hawkeye showing up. I now give up all my humility when proved wrong with the initial release based entirely on my prediction of Hawkeye. Other characters I predicted would show up: Frank West, Firebrand, Strider Hiryu. Other Characters that are going to be in it: Ghost Rider, Iron Fist, Rocket Raccoon, Dr. Strange, and Nova for Marvel. Which Nova I don't know, but it's probably going to be the Human Torch's Girl friend. For Capcom: Phoenix Wright, Nemesis and Vergil of DMC. Whether or not there will be even more DLC with characters like Doctor Octopus, M. Bison/Vega, Megaman X, or Cyclops has yet to be revealed. But you just know that people will be clamoring for it. Now if only they transfer over your old DLC, I will be a happy gamer. And of course keep coming out with more costumes.

EDIT: Turns out that it is the Nova Corps version of Nova, not the Sentry of Galactus that I predicted. Admittedly that would have been pretty interesting for the final boss fight.

Guess what I'm doing again?

Okay, Wii U has a name. Super Smash Brothers 4 has been confirmed for it and the 3DS. Crazy Character speculation: GO!

First off: The original Twelve and the Melee survivors will surely be in it. As for Brawl survivors, I'm guessing Pit, Lucas, King Dedede, Pokemon Trainer, R.O.B., Diddy Kong, basically everyone will return. The ones I have some doubt of returning are Ike, Lucario, Wolf, Snake and Sonic. The reason for this is because SSB has a history of removing characters, though Ike has the best chance of survival because of how different he is from Marth.
The alternative is that everyone comes back, even the the castoffs from Melee. I think we can all agree that Mewtwo's removal may have been unnecessary. As for new characters, I'm guessing Zoroark or some other Fifth generation pokemon. The Link with probably be based on Skyward Sword's version with a Toon Link from whatever the next thing he appears in will be, or more likely Spirit Tracks. Mario will get his Spinning move reset to his down B move. Assist Trophies will return, with more characters, obviously. This is harder than I thought.

The day has finally come, and by that I mean Sunday

Yes, due to the fact that I had pre-ordered Marvel vs Capcom 3 I got it a couple days in advance, and already there's news of DLC down the line. You know, besides Jill and Shuma-Gorath. Six new costumes for 500 points? Sign me up. And since I pre-ordered it, I got the free comic with art from both the game itself, promotional art and some fan art. As for the comic itself? Well it's only purpose is to give the pretense that the game has any sort of story to it.

Somehow Albert Wesker of Resident Evil got in touch with Doctor Doom and they hatched the evil plan of fusing both of their worlds together, and then conquering them. Doom gathers together some villains from his world, namely Magneto, M.O.D.O.K., The Super Skrull and Taskmaster. Now I should mention that something about this bugs me: Why would these people help Doom? Modok I can understand, since AIM and Doom have worked together in the past(I assume), and Taskmaster is a Mercenary, though World Conquest doesn't seem like his M.O. Meanwhile you have Magneto, who I just never thought liked Doom, they just don't come off as having each others best interests in mind. And that brings us to K'lrt, the Super Skrull. He's an alien, with his own Empire to think of. Why is he paling around with Earthlings? Any way, they need a power source to run the world squishing machine, so Skrull suggest using Galactus' ship. Wesker likes this idea and goes about recruiting... no one. Because Capcom games take place in separate universes, the only other "Bad Guy" he can get is Akuma, who really is only interested in fighting. At least I assume he gets him, since we never see him in the comic.

Flash forward to our heroes beating the snot out of each other, as is tradition is crossovers, when suddenly Galactus shows up. And that's where it ends. The comic has no bearing on the story itself, other than having Dr. Doom, Wesker and Galactus as the Final Boss. He summons Cosmic (read Chrome) versions of either Wesker or Akuma and Doom and Dormmamu, a being who probably outclasses even Galactus. By the way, Galactus is a bitch to fight when compared to Yami, the final boss of Tatsunoko vs Capcom, though he's a lot easier than Abyss. A time limit, a dual boss fight against two Cosmic Character and attacks that drain the health bar you can't see behind Galactus' hugeness faster than a Frat boy drains a keg. Which you can hardly block, i should mention. 38 endings, which means 38 times fighting him, each time with another character having to be put on the bench on the chance that I beat the game with them again.

Aside from Arcade mode, there's the Online tournament scene. I do alright, not great or anything. I managed to beat a guy who beat another guy with eleven wins, so that means I won thirteen times, right? The ranked fights were down today, so I checked out the lobbies, where I accomplished that previous win, snatching it from the jaws of defeat while in my underpants (well my character was in his underpants anyway) and found out that everyone else couldn't get on either. All in all, a very enjoyable experience, though I'm going to have to bone up before Megacon, find out what works for me. If you want to hit me up, my gamertag is EctoBiologist42.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 roster is Locked, Stocked and somehow barreled.

Okay, I probably stretched for that last part of the title, but my point still stands. The standard 38 characters, as well as the first two DLC/Pre-order bonus characters have been revealed, and so has the Final Boss. Ladies and Gentlemen, behold the power of ...GALACTUS!!!


Galactus is so strong, he doesn't K.O. your team, he K.O.'s the Planet. Specifically if you are on your last teammate and have only 10 seconds left. Backing him up are two Cosmic versions of evil characters. You will have to face off against a dual fight against a combination of either Dr. Doom, Albert Wesker, Akuma, or Dormmamu, boosted by the powers of Galactus to Herald status, giving them a nice chrome finish.

With two weeks left until release, here's how the roster looks:

On the Marvel Side we have:
* Captain America
* Iron Man
* Spider-Man
* Thor
* Wolverine
* X-23
* Storm
* Jean Grey
* Hulk
* She-Hulk
* Deadpool
* Dr. Doom
* Magneto
* Super Skrull
* Taskmaster
* Sentinel
* M.O.D.O.K.
* Dormmamu
* Shuma Gorath
With Galactus as the Final Boss

On the Capcom side we have:
* Ryu
* Chun Li
* Akuma
* Crimson Viper
* Mike Haggar
* Morrigan
* Felicia
* Hsei Ko
* Sir Arthur
* Zero
* Tron Bonne
* Dante
* Trish
* Nathan Spencer, The Bionic Commando
* Chris Redfield
* Albert Wesker
* Jill Valentine
* Viewtiful Joe
* Amaterasu

Now all that's left is to wait to see wait comes out as DLC. The most likely predictions are Frank West, more costumes, and at least two characters who have never been playable in a MvC game. Frank cover the Capcom side of that equation, but who can tell will be in the Marvel side?

And there goes what little faith I had in that stupid grid

With this new announcement what ever faith I had in my little chart from way back when has been shattered. Sentinel and Hsien Ko are the two newest additions to Marvel vs Capcom 3's roster of fighters. Add to that the confirmation that Frank West and the original Mega Man won't be in it (at least at launch)completely and totally disproves my previous assumptions. I hear by renounce any and all faith that the characters from that list will be in MvC3 (from the get go.) So, I suppose I should at least give part of the story, huh? Well Frank is mostly complete, but was cut at a late stage in development, Mega Man was deemed "too hard to adapt for a fighting game", despite the fact that he's been in at least the first two. Something about him having "too many possible weapons" and being "difficult to adapt for MvC3." I'm paraphrasing here. As for the announcement of Sentinel and Hsien Ko? Well, color me surprised. I mean, it's not like I'm upset that they're going to be in, it's just that they were seriously at the bottom of my list of possibilities. Well, at least we can now predict 90% of the teams you're going to face online. Hello Storm/Magneto/Sentinel spam fest. But hey, maybe this might help get us a new Dark Stalkers game? Maybe?

Well this puts a hole in my foot.

This is the latest trailer for Marvel vs Capcom 3, and as you can plainly see, neither character in it was on the image I had been using to make my predictions. I am now no longer using it as concrete fact, but instead as a sort of wish list of characters I'd like to see in the future, perhaps. But on to the characters. First off, we have Akuma, evil brother of Ryu and Ken's master Gouken. At first I thought it was odd that they'd include him, due to his similarity to Ryu, but watching him in action made me realize they were different enough to co-exist alongside one another. Not sure what this means for M. Bison though. He would have been perfect for Doom and Wesker's paln, but I suppose Akuma works as well. But the important part of the video is Taskmaster. I don't actually know that much about him, but he seems to be on the same par of seriousness as Deadpool, and that he's voiced by Steve Blum, my all time favorite voice actor. Judging from the video, he'll use other characters moves, such as Captain America's Shield, Black Knights Sword, and Spidey's swing. Oddly enough, he has a bow, but as far as I can tell, no one who's been announced so far uses a bow. Gee, I wonder what this could mean?


OHAI, HAWKEYE.
