I can't say I didn't expect this, but since SSFIV and AE all got released seperately, I can't see why Capcom shouldn't milk their current fighters even more. Overall, it looks okay, the way to include the Ultimate name on it was a nice feature, but it didn't sell it to me. And it wasn't because of Legends 3, I still expected that, but I got over it.

And thanks to NeoGAF, we now know Capcom's the worst company ever to keep secrets.

Here are the 12 new characters for UMvC3:

iron fist is slightly more known after Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Also he is more incorperated into major arcs like civil war etc, however ur perfectly right about the other 2, saw one of them on wikia and cant believe a small rodent beat someone like cyclops

I don't know who Rocket Raccoon is, but I'm glad it's in.

Sucks about the lack of a Monster Hunter whose move lift has seperate weapon stances for extra moves list. But that would be too awesome for Capcom.

Yeah I don't know anything about comics but the squirrel with a bazooka and the man with a flaming skull for a head look brilliant.

Cyclops is a shoto clone. He wouldn't bring anything interesting to the table.

Rocket Raccoon is actually a really cool character and mainly catering to Marvel fans who actually do read the comics (same goes for Nova, really). Also:

Iron Fist was a fan request, actually. He was around spot 15 in the (informal!) Capcom Unity poll, so don't you dare to complain they put him in.

I really don't get people hating on characters just because they're not flagships but B-listers, especially before seeing footage of them. I rather have cool new gameplay additions rather than fucking Cyclops, seriously. I was miffed by X-23 in the original, but she turned out to be pretty ballin'.

It's not hating them. A lot of people have no idea that they existed.

There's probably people big into Marvel that have no idea who Firebrand or Strider is either (though to be fair there's probably a fair few gamers who sadly don't know Firebrand).

And besides, all most people want from the Marvel side is X-Men anyway so Capcom are right to ignore those people.

Also, UMvC3's character list reminded me of this:

BASELESS SPECULATION YOU SAY!!? Phoenix Wright, calling it, and someone from Breath of Fire to piss off the fans (just like Megaman Volnutt)
...you are a fucking wizard. Although Firebrand is an enemy for Ghosts n' Goblins, you're still a wizard.

It's even funnier because Phoenix Wright was a joke suggestion because he has no place in a fighting game.

I'd be surprised if anyone could have guess Firebrand though. Demon's Crest is sadly forgotten and unlikely to make any sort of appearance any time soon.
