I will probably like Street Fighter X Tekken the most.
...but I am most excited by the new Mortal Kombat. An old friend of mine and I would play MKII endlessly. I miss him. I miss those days. The thought of reliving those days (IF MK is done right!)... That's what I am looking forward to!

God I LOVE these!
Mega Man vs Pac-Man is a storyline I would much rather see developed as a key part of both games.
So. Whadaya think of the Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike: Online Edition announcement?
Excited?
*I'm so drunk right now... I just drank (2) 24 ounce Budweiser Select beers... I think Chance is trying to get me to "Thank Him" for him driving me out to L.I. for my mad Dragon Quest map hunt!*
Around eight months from release and Marvel vs Capcom 3's roster has already hit 16.
It's a number that'll more than double before the game ships, and that's important, because you'll have to master at least three of them to be as competitive as you are in Street Fighter with just one.
Here, Xbox World 360 provides your chance to read up on the combatants and pick your perfect squad:
DANTE
First Appearance: Devil May Cry, Oct 2001: Pretty-boy fangirl-bait Dante is the most handsome man in videogames and drove thousands of quiet, slightly nerdy girls wild by spending most of DMC3 with his shirt off. One of the easiest new characters to handle.
CHUN LI
First Appearance: Street Fighter II, March 1991: The strongest woman in the world has been a Street Fighter mainstay since Street Fighter II, appearing in almost every main game and even the despised-but-fun 3D EX games. Her thighs are thicker than her waist.
AMATERASU
First Appearance: Okami, April 2006: The four-legged embodiment of the Japanese Sun God, Amaterasu was Hideki Kamiya's last creation before leaving Capcom and making Bayonetta. Okami sold fewer copies than Xbox World's 2008 Christmas Hits album but is a favourite of proper gamers everywhere.
FELICIA
First Appearance: Darkstalkers, July 1994: Catgirl Felicia wears less clothes to fight than most people wear to swim. While Darkstalkers characters like Dimitri and Anakaris have been forgotten, Felicia and Morrigan have survived thanks to the winning combination of nudity and violence.
MORRIGAN
First Appearance: Darkstalkers, July 1994: Dimitri was framed as Darkstalkers' Ryu, but saucy succubus Morrigan Aensland became the series' most famous character. Her original sprite is the most overused piece of art in videogame history, appearing unchanged in multiple Vs games.
TRISH
First Appearance: Devil May Cry, Oct 2001: Demonic sexpot Trish is among MVC3's most advance characters. Her outfit is what happens when you lock a Japanese artist in a basement for ten years with only a box of pencils and a notepad for company.
RYU
First Appearance: Street Fighter, August 1987: Wandering Japanese warrior Ryu walks the Earth looking for his next challenge like Caine from Kung Fu. Ryu has appeared in every version of Street Fighter bar one - the beta test of Street Fighter III.
CHRIS REDFIELD
First Appearance: Resident Evil, March 1996: Formerly of the STARS Alpha Team 'roid ragin' beefcake Chris Redfield is the reason The Punisher won't be in the game - they'd be too similar, says producer Ryota Niitsuma.
HULK
First Appearance: The Incredible Hulk #1,
May 1962: Exposed to a massive dose of gamma radiation, Bruce Banner is painfully transformed into around 5,000lbs of unstoppable green muscle. A long-time Marvel vs Capcom regular, you wouldn't like him when he's angry. Or when he's got the shits.
DEADPOOL
First Appearance: New Mutants #98, Feb 1991: Inexplicably popular star of a dozen cancelled comics, the kids love Deadpool - he makes jokes, shoots people, wears a mask, and might just be the only good thing ever to come from the pen of Rob Liefeld.
WOLVERINE
First Appearance: The Incredible Hulk #180, Oct 1974: Star of comics, games, TV, and the big screen, Wolverine was never sillier than in the X-Men cartoon where he would only ever cut fences and locks with his Adamantium claws, like some human lockpick.
IRON MAN
First Appearance: Tales of Suspense #39, March 1963: Genius, alcoholic, and all-round supercool bro Tony Stark has long been Marvel's most political creation, used to discuss Vietnam, the cold war, and corporate crime. All while shooting repulsors from his hands and flying on rocket boots.
CAPTAIN AMERICA
First Appearance: Captain America Comics #1, March 1941: Steve Rogers wanted to fight for his country, so his country dosed him up on Super Soldier Serum and sent him to Germany to punch Hitler in the face, then to Japan to punch Ryu in the face.
SUPER SKRULL
First Appearance: Fantastic Four #18 Sep 1963: Shapeshifting alien Kl'rt has the powers of all four of the Fantastic Four but has long been a second=tier villain. His appearance in MVC3 is as welcome as a tarantula's appearance in your underpants.
THOR
First Appearance: Journey Into Mystery #83, August 1964: Sentenced by his father to walk the Earth in the body of a man, Thor trades place with Dr Donald Blake when someone buys a ticket for the pain express and needs to be belted with a bloody great hammer.
DR DOOM
First Appearance: Fantastic Four #5, July 1962: The greatest baddy in comic book history can beat any man by out-thinking them. Doom's only intellectual superior is Reed Richards, which makes it a daily bummer for Doom that Reed is his sworn enemy.
Holy NERDGASM Batman!
Doctor Doom, Chun-Li, Captain America, Trish, Super Skrull, Viewtiful Joe RIDING Amaterasu, Iron Man, Morrigan... and...
...Tron Bonne ! ! !
*SPLOOGE!*
Who or what is a Tron Bonne? Oh that stupid robot mech thing.
Joekami is the best thing about that trailer.
