Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Characters Fans Want

With the upcoming release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 getting closer and closer, (February 15, 2011) a lot of people are starting to get antsy. Many of the characters have been announced already, and the roster is looking pretty good so far. But even so, there are a few characters that many people are still eagerly waiting for.

Capcom stated early on that there would be around 30 characters when the game comes out, and the official site room for exactly 32 on their characters page. With the recent announcement of She-Hulk and Zero, along with the confirmed Special Edition of the game, which contains early access to two other characters, (Shuma-Gorath and Jill Valentine) the roster seems to be pretty full. Only two more slots remain on the site, and with a lot of favorites still left to be unseen, many fans are starting to get worried.

UPDATE: Capcom revealed that there will be 10 more characters announced for the roster before release. Time will tell who makes the cut.

Here is a list of the confirmed characters so far:

Character models are looking great!

Dante > all

A lot of awesome new additions have been made since the previous title, along with some good ol' classics making their return. There's also some characters that make us wonder what they were thinking. (M.O.D.O.K., really?) I'm especially excited about Dante making the cut, since he's the most badass capcom character out there. But then again, where's Mega-Man? There are quite a few characters that would make an awesome addition to the game, and some who we'd also like to see return from MvC2. Here's a list of the top 10 characters I'd like to see added:

Marvel Universe

Ice-Man - Two words: Ice beam.

Mr. Sinister - One of my favorite villains from X-Men comics. He could have a very unique set of moves in a fighting game.

Carnage - We've seen Venom, and even though I'd like to see him return, I'd much rather see Carnage added to the lineup and what kind of sadistic special moves they could give him.

Moon Knight - Pretty much a Marvel version of Batman. With all his weapons and close quarters fighting style, he'd be a shoe-in.

Nightcrawler - With his power to teleport, he could make for a very fun to use, but hard to master character. He would also probably end up being one of the most annoying to fight against.

Capcom Universe

Samanosuke - Not enough samurai are in games these days. And with his wide range of different weapons and magic attacks used throughout his career in the Onimusha series, he'd be a perfect choice.

Mega-Man X - We've had the original Mega-Man, and the Mega-Man Legends version in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, so why not put X in this one?

Leon S. Kennedy - In my opinion, Leon would be a better candidate than Chris. Just sayin'.

Strider Hiryu - One of my favorite characters in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, It'd be nice to see him make a comeback.

Cammy - Sure, she wasn't the most popular choice in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, but she's always been one of my favorite Street Fighter characters, and her victory poses alone should make everyone want her in this game.

I know, there's so many other characters that could be on this list besides these, but for the sake of not naming 50+ characters, I narrowed it down a bit. However, if you care to argue any of these, or if you just want to name a character you'd like to see in the game and why, I'd love to hear it.
