    Marvel vs. Capcom 3’s bulging roster was revealed to be even more… bulgy this morning with the reveal of an additional two characters. Taskmaster and, yes, Akuma will indeed join the rest of the cast of the game, bringing the total of the on-disc roster thus far to around 34 members. 

    According to a Joystiq report, Akuma was first spotted in a retailer listing, though his name has been thrown around in various character “lists.” Taskmaster was also a rumored character, having been seen in a purported comic tie-in to the game. 
     
        
       
       
      

    == TEASER ==Eurogamer confirms that both of these characters are in-game unlockables. You’ll need around 2000 PP to unlock Akuma and 8000 for Taskmaster. One run through the arcade campaign, apparently, will net you enough PP to unlock Akuma, so prepare to do around four to get access to Taskmaster.
     
    Marvel vs. Capcom 3 hits the PS3 and Xbox 360 on Feb. 15, 2011 in the US. Its Euro release date is Feb. 18 on those same platforms.

    THRILLED about Taskmaster, but Akuma? We already had 2 fighters from Street Fighter (2 from DMC and 3, fucking THREE from Resident Evil), I wish Capcom was more diverse in the games that it's pulling from.

    Not to incense you further but we actually already had 3 from Street Fighter, including C.Viper.
     
    Still, these guys look fun, Taskmaster especially. Can't wait!

    the street fighter ones can be pretty diverse, but why would anyone want 3 Resident Evil characters?  I hated the ones in MvC2, so I can't imagine even wanting one back in for 3.

    Akuma...I don't know. Love the guy, but we have a shoto in the game already. If they wanted another evil and/or anti-hero type guy, maybe they could have gone with Daigo from Rival Schools?

    How does Capcom chose what players to put in these games? Taskmaster seems so random, to me...but also I have no clue what goes on in the world of comics :P (Seems like its time for a trip to comicvine)

    Got your ass beaten by Akuma one too many times? Because that was the case for me with C. Viper.@Rmack said:

    Akuma and Ryu might use the same fighting style, but it's not like the two are complete pallete swaps of the other. Trying to play Akuma like Ryu makes you liable to have your ass beat. Plus it just wouldn't be a VS game without Akuma. He's been in all if not most of them from the very beginning. Hell he was in X-Men: Children of the Atom as a secret character.@MrMazz said:
    " Well Taskmaster makes things interesting I wonder if they will give him some sort of copy ability like in the comics. Akuma is well Akuma raging demon ftw "
    He's got Spider-man's Web Swing and Captain America's Charging Star. @MistaSparkle said:

    I think it has to do with who's popular in comics from the Marvel side, like X-23 who just got an ongoing series at the moment, and also characters that haven't necessarily shown up in older VS games. With Capcom it's more a matter of what characters they could thrown in from new franchises that came out since MVC2. 
     
    I'm sad that there is no Soki or Samonosuke to represent the Onimusha games.

    Yeah, seems like it's the pen-ultimate boss fight in the game. I can imagine right after you beat him you fight Galactus out on the asteroid field.

    @SnakeEyes327:  Oh, I don't think they're pallet swaps at all, I just think they could have gone with someone more different. I know Akuma has been in all of them, but so have a couple of characters that aren't returning. It's not a huge deal, I'd just like to see some different series get some love (Rival Schools, Onimusha, etc).

    If the leaked list is anything to go by, Sentinel will be the 5th character from X-Men.

    I have to say, i'm not a fan of the 3D art... I wish they had stuck with MvC2 style graphics, but just updating it all to HD with more animations. MvC3 is a pass for me. I'll stick with 2.

    Is it already common knowledge that Galactus is a boss in this game? I wasn't aware until Akuma was fighting him towards the end of his reveal.  Also, is Zero wearing X's armor at the beginning of Akuma's video?

    I don't know about that, there are a ton of unused Marvel characters that would perfectly suit the MvC games, like Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, The Falcon, Silver Surfer, Luke Cage, Doctor Octopus, The Punisher, Daredevil... 
     
    Well, I could go on, but that would be kind of lame. I mean, pretty much all of the Marvel superheroes make sense in the context of the game.

    But I still think it seems tacky as hell.  The videos also look like crap until you hit the "HD" button, which immediately takes you to IGN's site, and starts to play a video advertisement.  That alone makes the videos inappropriate for any other website, IMO.

    " Is it already common knowledge that Galactus is a boss in this game? I wasn't aware until Akuma was fighting him towards the end of his reveal.  Also, is Zero wearing X's armor at the beginning of Akuma's video? "
    Zero's three alternate colors are based on the color shemes of Megaman X, Bass and Axl.
