Best One Yet: Round 2 [MvC3 Leaked Roster List]

From lupinko on NeoGaf, bold used to indicate unconfirmed characters:

Galactus (Boss)
Taskmaster (unlock)
Shuma-Gorath (DLC)
She-Hulk
Deadpool
Captain America
X-23
Magneto
Modok
Hulk
Spider-Man
Dr. Doom
Sentinel
Storm
Phoenix/Dark Phoenix
Super Skrull
Dormammu
Wolverine
Iron Man
{Thor}

Amaterasu
Ryu
Rad Spencer
Chun Li
C. Viper
Hsien-ko

Jill (DLC)
Chris
Wesker
Dante
Trish
Arthur
Felicia
Morrigan
Viewtiful Joe
Tron Bonne
Mike Haggar
Akuma (unlock)
Zero



Thor was not listed, but lupinko disclaimed that he thought he was missing one, though he knew the roster was 38. As long as Galactus is non-playable, that makes for the 19-19.

Discrepancies: No Mega Man, which is unexpected. Hsien-ko was thought deconfirmed along with any Darkstalkers characters beyond Felicia and Morrigan. And Akuma was thought to have been discluded when S-Kill suggested there were no more shotos.

I was still expecting Storm and Sentinel, so I'm glad to see that. Hsien-ko and C.Viper I believe are excellent inclusions. I would rather Alex over Haggar if the need was a grappler, or Cody over Haggar for a Final Fight character, but c'est la vie.

Taskmaster is an interesting prospect. Could be the mind-melting style or whatever to which S-kill alluded.

Epic Pose FTW [Tokido SoCalRegionals Victory Pose SSFIV]



At the end of a tremendous top 8 match between little known Ibuki ClakeyD and Tokido, Japan's top-notch mixup Akuma. Tokido sealed the deal with a pose mimicking Akuma's onscreen stance at the end of the Wrath of the Raging Demon, and stood blocking the image, so that the reverse Heaven character was projected onto his back.

That's style.
