Re: Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
Ghost Rider's "eyes" finisher is awesome, but damn, Hawkeye is magnificent. Particularly his Ant-Man/Giant-Man finisher. Brilliant idea.
As for it being a money-grabbing thing: there seems to not just be these four characters, but more to come, it has the DLC characters of the old one... but this, I agree, should just be DLC. They should release the new version but have the option for you to just upgrade the old one. I always get annoyed with two games that are identical, but one is a better sequel. It seems like the old one is a waste, just collecting dust. But with DLC, there's no real excuse for this, you can just keep updating the old one and newbies can jump on and buy the most recent version with all the stuff, while older players can just upgrade online.
This, however, is totally not the case if the game's coding changes. And... there does seem to be something new here. I don't recall the "X" at the edges of the health bar in the previous version. Here, the "X"s seem to flash and turn heavy red and they seem to have some kind of effect on the game (but I don't know what), and if this is a new mechanical element, then a sequel does make
some sense since I assume that kinda stuff can't be DLC...
EDIT: Dr Strange, Iron Fist, and Nova are all cool. Rocket Raccoon is a hysterically silly choice. I like it. But I am annoyed that there's no Fantastic Four... I also wouldn't mind Juggernaut. I like being able to have teams. I'd like more Avengers villains like Red Skull and Kang and more Fantastic Four villains. Would Annihilus be too much, Capcom? Essentially, I want them to dump all the Capcom characters and replace them with Marvel characters. And DC ones too.
