Capcom Confirms Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Leaked List Was "Inaccurate"

The whole Marvel vs. Capcom 3 roster toing and froing is starting to grow old already. It's not as if it's just fabricated roster leaks we have to deal with, it's the fact that it seems as if certain people have opted to use PhotoShop to doctor images to confuse the hell out of us.

First up, according to Capcom's "Manager of PR Strategy," Wes Phillips, "These supposed "final" MvC3 character lists are inaccurate. No one has nailed it thus far. Stay tuned for the realness."

But. But. But... Viewtiful Joe!? *wipes tear* I suppose though, playing Devil's Advocate - like I always do! - it would be his job to say that though. Smoke and mirrors and all that jazz.

What's this about PhotoShopping images you ask? Well, I've spent the last 30 mins going over in my head whether the Silver Surfer in the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 rumour is true... My take? It's not. I'm not saying he's not in the game, I'm just saying that this evidence isn't enough to persuade me - no magazine source has yet been supplied and the image is awfully close to a Deviant Art image; both combined are enough for me to cast an element of doubt over it. Thoughts as always in the comments or even evidence otherwise. We love a good detective mystery here.

In summary: the rumoured list is "inaccurate," so some/most maybe true. And secondly, don't believe anything you read on the internet about the roster unless it's accompanied by a crapload of images and/or gameplay trailers.

Regardless, if Viewtiful Joe isn't in the game, Capcom can expect a visit from us *swings comically oversized mallet*

  • Just wanted some extra publicity, is all. Wouldn't be surprised if they leaked it all on purpose. Either way, still fairly excited about this game.
  • I hope that silver surfer is in it. im just glad that super skrull is already confirmed, He's my favorite fantastic 4 villian besides maybe galactus
  • capcom would say that, try build up some hype for this since most of there other games are doin so shit in sales...
  • i want to play as dante borther (forgot his name) but man i hope this game plays easy so i can do all super move, i hate down left 2 seconds rgiht up and have a circle to pull off a awsome move
  • #4-Dante's brother is Vergil, though he became Nero between DMC3 & DMC. I'm hoping X-23, Zero (X version), Rad Spencer, Arthur and Tron Bonne are legit. Viewtiful Joe is like Spider-Man: unannounced at the moment, but obviously in the final roster. Pretty sure Frank West will be there as well, since they did say they want to put him in pretty much everything.
  • Joe's in the game. You can clearly see his silhouette in one of the latest trailers.
  • @#6 - Then Capcom have saved themselves =O
  • all i care about seeing in the game is mega man x and zero
  • I think this is a dumb pr techinique to get us excited for the game by getting up our hopes for different characters. No one get your hopes up of you do they have won.
  • So basically they are saying the list are "fake and gay"? :(
  • If VJ isnt in the game, i exspect a full release of a new VJ game on XBLA to make up for it =P
  • Wesker and Green Goblin...then I'll be happy!
  • @4 if you have played MVC2 then you know that there is not gonna be any of the hold back 2 seconds crap, not even double hadouken motion to do a super, well at least i hope so. This is gonna be EPIC!
  • But it very obviously WAS inaccurate. It didn't have Megaman, but had Tron Bonne, who is in the background. And it had Mr. Fantastic, and other characters already CONFIRMED as not in.
  • It was 46% accurate...
  • Aslong as TaskMaster is still in it I couldnt care
  • As long as Cable is in MvC3 it will kick ass.
  • then. . . . then. . . .I R can haz Vergil? :o
  • I'm with #16 on this one...overlooked characters are overlooked.
  • Viewtiful Joe was a low tier character in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Why do you want him in MvC3 so bad Webb?
  • Would love to see Mr Sinister and The Phoenix in MVC3
  • @10- I have no idea why you would put that in quotes. The obviously never said anything remotely close to that. @20- Just because he was low tier in one game doesn't mean he will be in another. Also, it doesn't mean he is a bad character. It all really depends on your play style.
  • @myself- I retract the part about that statement not being remotely close. They did say it was fake, but not "fake and gay."
  • @#20 - Yeah I know, ha ha, but I prefer the quirky characters usually, seeing as I'm not that awesome at fighting games anyway. For instance, I always loved using Sakura in SFIV. Low on the old tier ranking, but her fighting style was pretty awesome.
  • i will join you in that excursion webby =3 capcom will fear the wrath for not adding joe
  • @#25 - Ahhh, I had to put the mallet away. See #6
  • Of course it was fake. God knows why you'd post it in the first place. >_>
  • @#27 - "Fake" was not a word they used, "inaccurate" was =P Hey, we labeled it a rumour, ha ha.
  • Anyone who thought it was real=pretty stupid p.s WHEN DA HELL IS VIEWTIFUL JOE GONNA BE CONFIRMED!!! I NEED GAMEPLAY VID OF HIM
  • i think VJ will be in the game. im just hoping for ghost rider to be in it. i doubt he will be tho. :( i hope im wrong. it would be nice to see iron fist, silver surfer or luke cage in at as well. im also still pulling for samanoske from onimusha. it would also be kinda cool to see the tyrant monster from resident evil in it as well.
  • In summary: the list posted here was a known GameFAQs troll's educated guesses and Webb likes Viewtiful Joe who we know will be in MvC3 based on his silhouette being in the most recent promotional material.
  • The only character I would care about seeing confirmed is Firebrand from Gargoyle's Quest & Demon's Crest. But Capcom seems hellbent on burying that series, so I'm not crossing any fingers.
  • still i think this will be an awesome game!!!!!
  • I still better see Hsien-Ko in it >:|
  • @27 Viewtiful Joe is in the game, at the top when someone does a combo it says viewtiful! also duh that list was fake i mean come on X-23?
  • i really hope ghost riders in it!!!
  • Hopefully Viewful Joe stays out (sorry people, I just don't like that game). I want to see the Phoenix Wright (think that the name, I don't play those games but I do like watching them on You Tube), Date Masamune from Sengoku Basara/Devil Kings and John Talbain from Darkstalkers make an appearance.
  • @#31 - And this is coming from the man who said "Silver Surfer is all but confirmed" =P
  • Viewtiful Joe is in. The silhouette in the one trailer makes it very obvious.
  • @38 Last comment on the matter as my point has already been made and this has clearly become a petty pissing match. The difference is that if that SS information turns out to be fake, I'll be man enough to just admit that I was fooled instead of making excuses and trolling people who point out the obvious evidence to the contrary. That and I'm not responsible for posting accurate news on a website. Obviously this isn't the Associated Press, but a little due diligence and a simple Google search would've been enough to find out before you posted the list that it was outed as a fake made by a GameFAQs troll famous for creating fake character rosters for upcoming games.
  • @#40 - Ha ha. Lighten up dude, it was a joke.
  • Needs more Cyclops.
  • The fact that it says "Viewtiful" to describe a combo is in no way a confirmation that he's in the game. Capcom likes putting references like this in the game as a way to get more characters/games represented in some fashion. Alot of backgrounds will probably contain characters as well that didn't make the cut on the active roster. Now a silhouette of him in a trailer is another story...not a confirmation but an indication. Everyone will ultimately complain in some way on the final roster anyway because you can only include so many, and there's gonna be a few each person will hate and want replaced. Here's hoping for a good heavy stream of DLC post release.
  • I want Mega Man in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 if he is then it will be an instant buy
  • That list was so old, stop stealing info from n4g lololol.
  • @#45 - Were you born an idiot or did the symptoms develop overnight?
  • i love the last line of the post XD.....btw he is confirmed to be in it by his silhouette =]
  • I'm going to be disappointed with the final list as it will definitely not include Daredevil, however, if they put in MODOK then I'd be happy.
  • I can almost confirm that Ghost Rider is in the game http://www.marvelvscapcom-3.com/wp/MVC3_Coming_1920_1600.jpg take a look near the top left.
  • I'm hoping the Silver Surfer rumor is true and that they also add in Doctor Strange and Namor. Then I could have myself a Defenders party up in there. Though that pic is all blurry and it could be anyone with a plain white face; Silver Surfer, Iceman, Vision. On the Marvel side, I really want MODOK and at least a palette swap for the US Agent. For Capcom, Wesker, R. Mika, and Donovan would be awesome.
