people need to be open to change

So the backlash for the control scheme regarding MvC3 rages on. I just checked out the MvC3 facebook page and read a quote from Killian.

I'm getting annoyed. I'm sure a vast majority of them have not played TvC and don't really have a basis on their hate on it. I remember when I went to the SSFIV launch party, that came up and a lot of them didn't even know Zero was in the game. They haven't even tried it and yes it's strange at first but its so intuitive for being so simple. Sometime simplicity yields complexity. It feels so natural to move from normal to normal. I love the L, M, H format and i foresee less issues with tagging partners on accident and vice versa. If the controls add two assist buttons, those will work like the partner buttons. So much easier to switch out. Hold back plus whatever assist character you want and there you go or command tag and you got one hell of a chombo going on. the code named "exchange" button looks like a cool element. They might have picked that up from TvC with random launchers when you didn't call out for them. They also have some sort of other functionality. It might mean that H won't end air chombos now and you might be able to juggle more with a stronger attack.

I think people are getting all tight assed cuz they're afraid of change. That's understandable. They want things to remain the same. It felt really strange at first to play TvC but when i went back to MvC2 i so wished that game had the 3 attack layout. It's just so cumbersome. MvC3 will play like MvC2. There's no doubt about that. The controls will be alike TvC but the action and dynamics will have MvC2 spam assist, assist the spam, spam the fucking assist bullshit. Fuckers need to be happy that they're even addressing the whines. seriously people -- OMG! GTFO!

speculated characters

OMG!!! FELICIA! no surprise about weak the... being there.

IT'S MAH-VEL BAYBEE!

yay! another vs. game! good time to be alive.

I remember reading some stuff on the SRK forums. A lot of people were complaining (already... i know. sounds like pre SFIV talk all over again) about how the game would look. Let's whine about shit and not be happy they even were able to announce it. We already know that Capcom's policy is for 2.5d type visuals. Judging by the trailer, it seems to have more shading than TvC. I think they might go for a detailed comic book look. Whatever. I like what i see, espcially Morrigan. It's her best modern model to date.

In the announcement thingy at game trailers, the producer talked a little more about it. It seems that they've been working on the game since MvC2 came out. All the legal stuff was done well ahead of actual game development and they started back in 2008. That's one hell of a secret to keep. Then again I think people were distracted with SFIV.

Hopefully they keep Sakura, Cammy, and Felicia but the roster is going to be around 30... Still a big line up but it makes the inclusion of Sakura and Felicia less likely to happen. The producer said both companies have grown with new IP so they're looking for the most popular as well as best fit for the game. I'm sure the characters are already decided upon by now. Well we'll see what happens. did I mention that i'm excited?
