Doing my best Carnac the Magnificent impression, I'm going to attempt to name the entire Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 character roster. In multiple interviews, it has been stated the number of character will be "in the 30s." To be on the safe side, I've chosen exactly 30 (15 from Capcom and 15 from Marvel,) and tried to justify each one. I also included some honorable mentions who hopefully will make it into the game (downloadable content perhaps?) In a year, we'll see how well I did. It's like a really egotistical time capsule!
(The lists are in alphabetical order. Remember, these are the characters I objectively believe will make it into the game and not necessarily the ones I like the best.)
Capcom:
1. Cammy - A consistent, well-known, and popular character, Cammy got too much cred not to make the roster (I still can't figure out how she didn't make it into Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.)
2. Chris Redfield - Chris is the one new character confirmed by the trailer. My guess is he completely bumps out Jill Valentine as they are pretty similar characters.
3. Chun-Li - Practically confirmed in the trailer (as a silhouette) Chun-Li is the most famous female in Street Fighter. I see many a Spinning Bird Kick in our futures.
4. Dante - It's a wonder Dante hasn't been in a Capcom fighter before as he seems perfect for it. Whether that silhouette in the trailer is him or Resident Evil 5's Wesker, there's little doubt in my mind Dante will make the cut.
5. Felicia - Possibly confirmed by the trailer (unless that silhouette is Viewtiful Joe.) Still Felicia is a popular enough character to find her way into the game.
6. Frank West - Frank made it into TvC and with Dead Rising 2 on the horizon (despite not starring Mr. West,) it seems like a no-brainer to include him.
7. Guile - Sonicboom! No doubt we'll be seeing this patriot in the brawl, but my fingers are crossed it's the Jean-Claude Van Damme version (though I think we're all still trying to forget about that.)
8. M. Bison - More Street Fighter characters! Bison is a bigger character and would be a natural answer to Marvel's Colossus.
9. Mega Man - How can you not include Rock? The only question will be if it's MvC's Mega or TvC's Volnutt (or maybe it'll be X. you never know.)
10. Morrigan - The queen of the Darkstalkers has been officially announced. I can't wait to see her fire off all those missiles in gorgeous 3-D.
11. Protoman - Possibly wishful thinking, but with Mega Man 10 still fresh in our minds, it makes sense add him. You can't get cooler than Protoman.
12. Ryu - Arguably the most well-know Capcom character. I will go out on a limb though and predict Ken will not make the list (at least, not initially.)
13. Viewtiful Joe - A TvC alumni and colorful character, Viewtiful Joe has little reason not to make it the big show.
14. Wesker - With his announced inclusion in Lost Planet 2, it appears Capcom is pushing their wannabe-Neo. And that's just fine with me.
15. Zangeif - Who else can stand toe-to-toe with the Hulk?
