No game is balanced, but some are certainly more balanced than others.

It was looking like MvC3 was going to be closer to achieving that than ever before. At E3. Now, it looks like it's just as bad as it's always been.

I mean, the point is that any character should have a utility. You should never have a character that is just taking up space.

In Tatsunoko vs Capcom, for instance, I didn't find a character that was worthless. All characters could be worth something on your team - sure, some characters were worth a lot more than others, but everybody was within striking distance of everyone else. In Marvel vs Capcom 2, is there ever going to be ANY REASON to EVER put Roll in your team? Ever? Ever ever ever? No. She's completely worthless. Completely and utterly worthless.

In a sense, they've now done that exact thing to at least Felicia in MvC3. A rush-down character with no mobility is about as useful as an limbless batter.

Yeah, I hear ya. It always sucks to find useless characters on a roster, particularly characters you like. The more I think about it, MvC games really seemed to unbalance things more than previous versus titles. X-Men vs SF seemed pretty balanced to me. I really liked that one

Would be interesting if patches or even DLC could be used as a way to tweak and balance character rosters. Assuming Capcom would even care enough to bother

Ya know, I just realized something. Compared to Felicia - and really any other character - Morrigan's model looks very outdated because, most likely, it's just coming straight out of Tatsunoko vs Capcom, a game made for a less graphically-capable system.

Anybody see history repeating itself?

I don't think we'd know what to do with an updated Morrigan model.

They should've stuck with the old Darkstalkers 1 sprite. It'd better be an alternate costume.

The event is being held at 437 N. Wolcott Ave. in Chi-town and will give gamers a chance to get their hands on the TGS build of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Capcom plans to dish out some cool swag to the first 300 people that show up and the first 100 that arrive get a special gift.
