There are few fighting games as beloved as the Marvel vs Capcom franchise. The games first made their stamp on the world of video games in crowded arcade rooms, and won over thousands with their over the top action scenes, colorful characters, and quick gameplay.


Now after more then a decade of anticipation, Capcom has announced Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which was shown at this year's E3. Captain America, Chris Redfield, Dante, Deadpool, Felicia, Hulk, Iron Man, Morrigan, Ryu, and Wolverine have all been revealed to be playable characters in this ensemble cast.


When it comes to core game mechanics, little has changed from the previous installment. Players still choose teams of three and duke it out in fast paced combat. However, a new system, known as launcher attacks, has been added that allows a stream of midair combos to be performed that lift enemy opponents into the air.
