o_O NO STRIDER? WTF IS THIS *%&$? oh heeeeeeelllll Noooooo damn good thing they have Dante and Deadpool, if not without strider this is leaning more towards a rental for me |
He is what Niitsuma said:
"In choosing the characters for the game, the concept was not that they'd make new versions of the MVC2 characters, but instead that they'd make selections from the action games Capcom has released in the 10 years since MVC2. The new characters were given priority. However, this approach on its own would have ended up with poor balance in terms of speed, power, gender and other areas, so they used the MVC2 characters to support the cast."
So basically characters like Strider, Captain Commando and Jin Saotome have been deconfirmed because of this pretty much. He said that although Strider is popular in the west, he did not include Strider because he did not fit in with the concept of Marvel VS Capcom 3, which is the concept above. Also because Capcom co owns Strider and not fully own him...
