*UPDATED*Final Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Character Unveilings
by Redblaze27 October 31, 12:56 PM

Just in time for Halloween, Capcom decided to unveil the remaining two Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 characters, complete with character trailers and commentary videos from Capcom's Seth Killian showcasing how they look in action. Here is a small rundown of what to expect from these new characters: 

Frank West - The original protagonist of the Dead Rising series is not a stranger to the vs Series, having appeared previously in Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Unfortunately for fans of his Tatsunoko vs Capcom incarnation he appears to be sporting a completely different movelist from his last fighting game appearance, but it looks to have been altered with Dead Rising 2 gameplay mechanics in mind (two of his hyper combos involves combination weapons). He also appears to make use of camera this time around with a "Level Up" power-up, which allows for him to obtain additional weaponry and special moves for each level gained up to the level cap of 4. He also has the ability to drink, which enhances his photography capabilities and the cost of him potentially vomiting at some point, rendering him momentarily vulnerable to the opponents attacks.

Rocket Raccoon - Most people were confused when this character was leaked to be in this game, mainly because only the hardcore comic book fans even knew of him. Despite what one may expect from such a silly looking character, Rocket Raccoon look to be played mostly serious. Right off the bat, Rocket Raccoon is can be labeled as a small and fast weapons expert, making use of various guns with a number of his other weapons appearing to be trap based, such as swinging logs, nets and so forth. As far as maneuverability goes, Rocket Raccoon has such as the ability to burrow, which looks to enable him to avoid most attacks so far as well as gives him a teleport move for the ground(depend on the input from the looks of it), a downward hovering move to slow your decent and lastly the rocket skates which enable him to have more aerial mobility.

Based on what I have seen and heard looking into the character, Rocket Raccoon sounds to be a trap character with various mobility options to keep the distance between the players. While his normal attacks are genrally short ranged in nature, they are primarily there for the sake of comboing rather than being part of his main offensive game.


And with these final two characters reveals out of the way, which of the twelve new character appeals to you the most? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
