Man, I'm really, really excited! For one thing, I don't have MvC3 yet so it's nice that I'll be able to buy a better version at a budget price. For another, take a look at that new roster! Frank West was awesome in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but the character I'm most excited about is Phoenix Wright! I love the Ace Attorney series, and he should be hilarious in combat, and fun. I can't wait to see his moves and main him. Plus, his inclusion in the game means we might actually be getting some more Ace Attorney games localized in the US.
On the other hand, though, I don't really like the whole trend of releasing a special edition shortly after the original game comes out. I don't think it's fair to those who paid for the Vanilla Edition on launch. I mean, DLC I can understand, but a whole game? Then again, if it's really at the bargain price it's rumored to be at ($30) then it's not like it's a huge investment, especially if Marvel vs. Capcom 3 owners trade in their game for credit.

Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3's full character roster has apparently been leaked.
The game was announced earlier today at Comic-Con 2011.Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 will include 12 new fighters, eight new stages, spectator mode and a number of gameplay tweaks including character balancing and online netcode improvements.
Four of the new fighters were revealed at Comic-Con: Strider Hiryu, Firebrand, Ghost Rider and Hawkeye.
Shortly after the announcement, images of the full Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 roster began appearing on internet forums due to an apparent error on Capcom's media site. Marvel's Doctor Octopus - long rumored to be a DLC character for Marvel Vs Capcom 3 - was, however, absent from the roster list.
The full roster reportedly includes:
Capcom:
Strider
Firebrand
Vergil
Frank West
Phoenix Wright
Nemesis
Marvel:
Ghost Rider
Hawkeye
Dr Strange
Nova
Rocket Raccoon
Iron Fist
Capcom has since removed the character images from its media page.
Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 will be available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this November at a budget price point.

"Today we announced Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for PS3 and X360 as well as the first four characters and a playable build for this week's San Diego Comic-Con. As part of that, you may have seen some of our new characters for the game pop up on the Internet a bit earlier than anticipated.
We are very happy with the positive response to the lineup, but at this point we're only going to focus on the four characters (Strider, Firebrand, Ghost Rider, Hawkeye) we have officially revealed. As for the other eight additional characters, we will have a ton of info, videos, screens and playable code in the coming months. Stay tuned!"
