A bit late, but I didn't notice this thread until now, but this is my most anticipated game for 2011 so far. I loved MvsC2 and will love this one. I've actually already played it on a gaming convention last November, and holy shites it was good.
Dante is as awesome to play as I hoped he would be.
Felicia was even more awesome to play than she was in the second installment, which says quite alot.
Deadpool was pretty funny as well, but I need moar time with him.
Amaterasu... was... AWESOME!
Chris was so-so, I find Jill Valentine from MvsC2 to be alot better.
I didn't really play the other characters very much, but I can say that I didn't like Dr. Doom and Morrigan. The version I played were the one before M.O.D.O.K and Wesker were announced, so we couldn't try the "complete" roster.
Now... I don't know if someone already mentioned this, but the characters that are left "on the disk" (not DLC) are said to be (mat not be true, can be fake):
Marvel: Taskmaster, Sentinel and Phoenix (Jean Grey)
Capcom: Akuma, Hsien-Ko and Haggar.
The same source also said that Mega Man X (which is my fav Mega Man) will NOT make the game, nor any other version of Mega Man. Phoenix Wright has been considered as a DLC, but probably won't come.
Again though, this source may be fake. He has been correct about several things so far, but one can never know. So don't lose hope in Mega Man!
Personally, I would like them to have almost all characters from MvsC2 back, minus some like Cable and Ice-man. Venom is a must from me though ^^. I LOVE the fact that Zero is in the game, and Wesker is yet another character that I was hoping for. I am also crossing my thumbs for Jill Valentine to be like the MvsC2 Jill, although I doubt it, considering her costume...
Oh, and forgot to mention that that guy said Galactus is the boss-character. Apparently, you're supposed to fight him, Wesker and Akuma as the end-boss. That last part sounds screwed over to me =S
Capcom's plan is simple. Take all the most wanted characters and make them dlc as a way to milk us of our money. The only thing I wonder is, how much RAM will be left after the game comes out?
The probability of this is unfortunately very high...
Oh, one last add xD as I've already played the game several times, I already know my main team, although it might change when I get to try the new(er) characters... anyway, here was my team on the convention, in order: Felicia, Amaterasu and Dante.
