Re: Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
I don't think that's Ghost Rider. He doesn't have shoulder pads like that.
I don't think it's Ghost Rider either, seems more like Dorumammu. People speculated it was Mephisto, but Mephisto's cape is usually torn and a lot shorter, plus his hair is always ravaged while the other image of the caped Marvel character had a clean cut that Mephisto wouldn't have.
My thing is that he seems so obscure, but they're probably expecting to rekindle some sort of interest towards him with fans the way Deathstroke was added into Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
Venom and Carnage have not been relevant in years. Carnage was killed at the beginning of the New Avengers team by Sentry and that was before I'd even started reading comics. During that time Eddie Brock has also not been Venom, Mac Gargan has. And the only reason people gave a shit about him was because he was on Norman Osborn's Thunderbolts and then Norman's Dark Avengers. Neither of those characters deserve a spot in the game if we're basing things on current popularity status.
And Anti-Venom? I don't read Amazing Spider-Man, but no one really seems to care about Eddie Brock's new turn ever since he came back in New Ways to Die.
I don't think Mac Gargan (Scorpion?) is really considered Venom, more like an unofficial Dark Spider-man that's part of the Dark Avengers. Venom (Eddie Brock) is now Anti-Venom, but Chris Baker (in charge of Marvel's character licensing) stated that despite what the current situation with the comic's story, they're going to go with the approach of putting characters in how everyone originally depicts them, so Eddie Brock would be "Venom" not Anti-Venom.
Not that I want Carnage to be in there, I just think having a red palette swap for Venom to pay homage to Carnage would be cool instead of having a whole different character.

What's so fucking gross? Every major itteration of Megaman has been present in a different cross-over. StarForce seems like a good idea since he looks more like a super hero. StarForce inb4 .EXE.

Oh well, I didn't expect the Fantastic Four to be in it anyways. Since Super Skrull is in the game, it's kind of pointless.
The only RE character that I really wanted in the game was Jill again, but they'd probably go with her RE5 version, which isn't really the same.
Kl'rt seems to cover all basis for all Fantastic 4, but it doesn't seem like he would fight exactly like Johnny would. Anywhoo, I don't really care much for Fantastic 4 anyways. Just trims down of possibilities to be on the roster. :3
As for Jill, I'd prefer her not to be in it even though I'm a Jill fanboy. Seems very similar to what Chris is capable of, and if there were to be another Resident Evil representative, I would have it go to Wesker since he is considered a Resident Evil boss that can have about the same shit Nemesis and Tyrant can have and more and still bypass the mature rating.
On the podcast, Chris Baker threw in She Hulk-- I doubt she would make the cut, but he was just referring to who would win a court case between Phoenix Wright and Daredevil, and he chose her instead of the two main options.
I have a hunch that Phoenix Wright and Franziska Von Karma were only tossed out Ultimate All-Stars because of time constraints, not because some bullshit Objection move localization. This time though, they got a lot more time, and a bigger crew to work with.
And I wish Rikuo was in there instead of fucking Felicia. We already got Morrigan, we don't need another titful Darkstalkers rep. And Rikuo would have been cool to offset Namor.
