Wow, I worked on a recolor of a white Joe too. Odd, even more impressive that they have the "stealth Spider-Suit" but then again, comic stories are written months before they're out... Gotta love Bass colored Zero. But Green and Purple Captain America?

[sleepymax]

That Green & Purple/Pinkish Cap. is from MvC 2(and maybe MvC 1) where alt. palette/colors rarely ever made any sense. There were some really odd color choices in those games.

[deepspaceartist]

Actually, I just noiced that Zero's alt colours are all tributes to other charcters. Othe that Bass, the oher two are Mega Man X and Axl.

[crinos]

Well, you knew Red Hulk was gonna get worked in there somehow.

[thanekos]

Amused at the '(sorta) delicious brown people' Chris/X-23 variants.

Shame White Joe isn't yellow, though; then he could be Heinderella, Jet, or Captain Blue.

[nagaoka]

I was expecting a yellow Joe too, haha.

[arbre_rieur]

Is that She-Hulk in a Fantastic Four costume? Weird that they bothered to do that but didn't use the right color.

[arbre_rieur]

Ditto for what I'm assuming is supposed to be Captain America as the Red Guardian. They couldn't have removed the wings on the head like they did for his second form?

[q99]

Spidey has the best. Laura's are kinda boring.

Recoloring Capt doesn't work too well.

Hulk and Iron Man's look the most natural.

[aaron_bourque]

Why is She-Hulk's F4 costume red? I mean, a more obvious RED She-Hulk choice would have been . . . RED SHE-HULK.

Also, they weren't really given much to work with where X-23's concerned, were they?

[sleepymax]

The main problem with the alt. costumes is that they weren't allowed to actually add pieces on to the costumes. That's the reason why Spider-Man's costumes worked out so well because his costume is always a smooth body suit.

[sleepymax]

Here's the thought process behind some of the costumes:

I'm worried that at this rate there will be no surprise characters left.

[sleepymax]

There's a leaked roster that's been all but confirmed. All you (or others that want to know) have to do is search "lupinko marvel vs capcom 3" in Yahoo! or Google.

[big_daddy_d]

The blue Iron Man armor looks pretty badass. I do find it funny that the only one who actually has alternate costumes instead of coloring is Spider-Man.

[bradhanon]

Could someone with all their color vision tell me what the difference is between the 3rd and 4th Hulks, please?

[sleepymax]

Different color schemes that are based on Ultimate She-Hulk and Red She-Hulk.

[mutantlexi]

Kinda sad with X-23's variants, kinda wish they'd used her Talon costume, her X-Force and New X-Men costumes. Or even that cute bodice/skirt combo from her second mini.

[thehood]

Agreed, but they could only do small color edits.

That said, i like the one based on the costume from the cover of her current series.

[zyriex]

Huh, for the most part these look cool and the gameplay looks promising!

Can we get Okami recolors, pretty please!

[mommy]

Green and pink Cap is hilarious somehow.

[sindra]

Damn...I was gonna post a post about the new charas, too.

But, whatever. Gameplay about Phoenix is...well, gameplay about Phoenix.

[terrykun]

THE MANLIEST MAYOR IN HISTORY!

[terrykun]

So.... Morrigan made a baby with Naruto and she gets to guest-star as an alternate color-scheme?

[punishermax]

Would not be suprised if this fanfic existed.

[mcity]

Pretty Teal Cap makes me lol.

What's on his chest in the grey outfit?

[glprime]

I almost wonder if that's supposed to be god-awful Punisher Cap.

On a lighter note, one of the MODOK alts seems to have lipstick; M.O.D.A.M. in a video game finally?

[darkblade]

I'm surprised no one commented on the Punisher costume for Chris Redfield seen in the gameplay videos.

[omnipotent]

I kind of like Morrigan's orange and black recolor.

[cypherfdp]

So far, the only Spidey taunt I've seen is "DOES WHATEVER A SPIDER CAN".

WHERE IS "DO YOUR JOB".

[cainofdreaming]

Iron Spidey instead of Gabe? Ehhh...

[apexpredator]

We're all missing the point here. RED FLIPPIN' GUARDIAN in a video game!

And looking at that second scan, and the claws...is that Dakken or Logan?

[leoboiko]

For a moment there I thought it would be Phoenix Wright. A precious, awesome moment.
