Strange, Rocket and Iron Fist. But none compared to Vergil!
I was waiting for Frank West and Strider to enter in MVC3 since its announcement, so I voted for Frank!
I'm also surprised they brought Nemesis! I hoped for it but had not believed it to really happen.
However I still hope for a Gene DLC, just to dragon kick some *** in to the Milk Way! =)
To be fair I'm happy of each capcom characters, much happier than for Marvel's ones.
I voted for Hawkeye because I like bows and arrows (and projectile spamming as long as I am the spammer ^^)
Anyway I prefer more Capcom characters. Why Venom is still out? awww....

why has the marvel one gone? i made them seperate because the maximum amount of options was 10 so i made two seperate threadsbut now its gone... but no-one is actually that excited about the marvel chars so it doesnt really matter.
Oh I'm more excited about Hawkeye than anyone of the Capcom cast. Vergil .. pfhh, we already have Dante, that's enough for me. Strider is ok, but .. jeah, there is not that much depth in the game to make him a more interesting gameplay character than the others
I'll have to see the unreleased characters before I can make a solid judgement, but it's looking pretty good so far.
Here's what I think of each of them:
Ghost Rider looks pretty good, I'm guessing he'll be like Dhalsim with his chains, with the twist of getting characters in to set ups for his team mates, and thus, will probably a front line character.
Dr.Strange looks like what people hoping MODOK was but wasn't, he'll be interesting, the bizarre projectiles of MODOK spliced with the counters and teleports of Wesker.
Nemesis is obviously a tank character, not much I can say other than he's probably the kind of character to break through turtling projectile spam, I wouldn't say he's the anti-thesis to sentinel but he's close.
Firebrand looks like a really nasty grappler that juggles between grabs and blows, he looks like he's going to be the pain in the neck for this generation, but he's very interesting about it, I'm just hoping he is harder to master.
Kind of hard to read Hawkeye and Strider, I'll probably have to play them rather than watching a video. Strider seems closer to Morrigan, and is more of a combo based character with the benefit of moving around quickly. Hawkeye is obviously projectile based but I'm guessing he'll have a good up-close offensive.
If Vergil plays anything like he appears in DMC3, I'm guessing we'll have a Gen type character, relying on straight motions that hit on the pass (as he does with his sword), with a few Dante perks like alternative weapons. It'd be odd if he had LESS combos than Dante. I'm guessing he'll be in the "easy to learn, hard to master" type tier of characters.
Phoenix Wright... totally can't call it right now...I'm thinking he could either play like a Super Gem Fighter character that morphs outfits and does bizarre comical moves, or he could be a summoner type character that has the Phoenix Wright cast doing specials for him, or maybe he's even the lame character akin to Dan that's a show of confidence by "wasting" a slot... Or a mixture of all of that, or none... hmm...
Frank West, I think, will be Tatsunoko Vs Capcom inspired more than an outright port with all the moves. there'll be some Case West/Off The Record inspiration there probably... He'll probably be either setup or support rather than a full on character, could be wrong...
As for the rest, hard to tell since I've not read much of them in Marvel comics, and a brief wikipedia article does them no justice, to be insultingly brief:
Rocket Raccoon is probably the anti-thesis of Arthur, projectile based with probably a few things that Arthur doesn't do well and vice versa.
Iron Fist looks like he'll be more of a down-to-eather fighter rather than relying on tricks, he'll probably play like an SF character TBH.
Nova seems like he'll be energy based, I'm thinking, probably Phoenix crossed with Magneto.
Thats all I can think of for now, obvious guesses, but still guesses...
Indeed Phoenix Wright, I expect some massive "OBJECTION" while performing his ultra combo.
