Old Post (PUBLISHED 04.20.2010):

About a week and a half ago, we first mentioned the possibility of a Marvel vs. Capcom 3 announcement here on the AudioShocker. Well, now it's official and that's exciting news because we're HUGE Marvel vs. Capcom fans here at this site (as evidenced by our weekly feature, Hyper Combo Wallpaper, which is basically a Marvel vs. Capcom tribute).

In light of this official MvC3 announcement, I'd like to pose this question to comic book and fighting game fans alike -- who do you want to see in Marvel vs. Capcom 3?

Me personally, I have a few favorites in mind that I think would make for excellent additions to the lineup. On the Marvel side, I'd like to see Black Panther, Havok, and She-Hulk join in on the ruckus. As for Capcom, I'm mostly a Street Fighter fan, so my nominations include E. Honda, Oro, and Crimson Viper.

Realistically, the choices on the Marvel side will probably be dictated by their movie slate. That would put Spider-Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, War Machine, Beast, Storm, Cyclops, and Magneto in there. I'm sure I missed a few, but those seem like the big Marvel choices.

Also, since MvC always seems to pull a "hot" character in from the comics (War Machine in MvC and Cable + Marrow in MvC2), that would probably make Deadpool an ideal addition to keep with this tradition. And, speaking of tradition, I hope that Capcom puts Captain Commando in MvC3 too!

Marvel vs. Capcom 3?

UPDATE - 4/20/2010: Marvel vs. Capcom is actually going to exist!!! Kudos to Team Spooky on the scoop. Check out the teaser trailer:

ORIGINAL POST: Team Spooky has dropped a potential Marvel vs. Capcom 3 info leak, which I found via Linktm of YIBR via gameinformer.

Is it true? I dunno. The date on the original post is just slightly pre-April Fool's Day, so maybe Team Spooky got an early start this year. But it could be for real...

In the event it's true, I've created some concept art for the new MvC installment:

Capcom, in the evil clutches of Magneto!

Magneto is a mainstay of the Marvel vs. Capcom series. From X-Men: Children of the Atom to Marvel Super Heroes to X-Men vs. Street Fighter to Marvel vs. Capcom 2, the master of magnetism is one of most formidable baddies in the Marvel lineup.

The Mags you see here is from the cover of House of M: Masters of Evil #4, drawn by Mike Perkins (with a bit of Photoshop magic by moi). Be back here next Monday for another Hyper Combo Wallpaper and the start of September a.k.a. Versus Month!

Say WAZZZUP to Amingo, the Living Cactus

DOWNLOAD WALLPAPER :: 1280 X 1024 :: 1440 X 900 :: 1600 X 1200

I used to think that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was the weak link in the Marvel vs. Capcom series, but I've since changed my mind and embraced the final (for now!) MvC installment.

Amingo is one of the new characters Capcom put in MvC2. Design-wise, I think he's the best looking of the newbies (though probably not the best fighter... sorry, amigo!).

Be back here next Monday for special Magneto Hyper Combo Wallpaper!

Captain Commando strikes a classic Capcom pose

DOWNLOAD WALLPAPER :: 1280 X 1024 :: 1440 X 900 :: 1600 X 1200

It's safe to say that Marvel vs. Capcom revived Captain Commando's career. Not that it was his first appearance by any means - he had his own self-titled game years before and he had graced Capcom packaging as a company mascot for many moons.

But the cyborg whose name was reverse-engineered from the Capcom moniker (Captain Commando) had his breakout role in MvC1. He made it into countless homes around the world thru the console versions of that game, and did the same all over again with MvC2. Thus he became the greatest captain of all-time (sorry, Steve)!

Thanks to The Fighter's Generation for the Capcom art. Be back here next Monday for another Hyper Combo Wallpaper!

Ryu and E Honda are ready to throwdown old school!

Though Edmond Honda never made it into any of the Marvel vs. Capcom games, Ryu had his dirty little fingers all over them. But that's not what we're here to discuss today anyway. Above you will find a little old school fighting screen shot from the seminal Street Fighter II, complete in an old school arcade screen frame.

The hi-res source for this lo-fi classic was found in THE ARCADE COLLECTION of JESPER CARLSSON. It took me a bit of Photoshop magic, but I fixed the pic and made it into this delicious wallpaper. Be back next Monday for a Captain Commando Hyper Combo Wallpaper!
