It's too early to tell.

No, they've already committed to patching and dlcing the shit out of it. We've got Shuma and Jill next month, then Frank West and Elektra. I doubt they'll be working on DLC characters and new characters for super at the same time. If they still do rerelease at that stage what are they adding? Everyone already has the characters, maybe they'll do a goty edition but I don't see a new game. Another thing to bear in mind is this isn't just Capcom, if they wanted to a Super they'd have to sort out licensing and all that shit with Marvel.

No. They are going the DLC route with this one.

They confirmed he was going to be in it but had to be cut late on so looking pretty likely...

Phoenix Wright! 
 
Oh, wait...

99.99% of me says no. I don't mind the dlc but after watching the mvc3 quicklook, game feels like it shipped earlier then expected. Or what I expected.

I think that stand alone expansion pack style is almost dead today. Capcom's a company that loves reminiscing with its fans; so I think SSFIV was just a wink and nod to SFII's 8094382940823 iterations.

naw , this game is gonna be dlc all the way , they could keep adding characters the skys the limit.  its marvel vs capcom were not gonna see a super anywhere in the title they only do that for street fighter games accept xmen - vs street fighter which became marvel vs capcom.

Does a Super versus game exist? 

Oh you mean MAHVEL 4.

" @Xshinobi: I'm primarily a PC gamer too mate, but the only solid standalone expansions to AAA games I can think of are the HL2 episodes and Crysis Warhead. Even if you were to expand your statement to include conventional expansion packs, I still wouldn't say they're "alive and well". Some games like DoW 2, Europa Universalis III receive excellent post release support, but they strike me as the exception rather than the norm; the fact that Awakening was heralded for being an "old-school" expansion pack speaks volumes about the current shift to DLC, regardless of platform. I'm definitely hoping that SCII starts a renaissance in well-thought out, solid add-ons to games we already know and love. I'm not being an unreasonable PC fanboy hating on DLC obviously, but for every excellent DLC release from Bethesda there are dozens of really sloppily-made money grabs. "

Essentially "Super" would just be Capcom's version of "Game of the Year Edition".  Considering SSF4 and BlazBlue came out at the 40 dollar price point, and most GOTYs come out at 60, it wouldn't be consumer unfriendly.

All the licensing stuff they'd have to (presumably) go through to put out another version of MvC3 points to "no". They're already rolling out the DLC too and apparently they've talked about patches (spectator mode), so it's not looking too likely that another version will be coming out soon, if at all.

Highly doubt it based upon the MvC track record and considering all the DLC this game is going to get I can't really see it happening. At the same time though, GOTY editions with all that DLC packed in seem to pop up eventually, so who knows!

wut is all the DLC people speak of?  2 characters that are more than likely already on the disk that were taken out to sell as DLC later?  Or the costume packs that are stupid just like SSF4 and Dead Rising where they are just trying to nickel and dime you.  And Shadow Mode....no way would I pay for that.
 
GOTY editions are just the game with all the DLC.  So I reckon this will end up getting a re-release under Super Marvel vs Capcom 3 just like SSF4 with a couple extra modes and a couple extra characters.  More money more money more money more money.  People that say "well previous MvC games didn't have Super editions."  True, but that was before all this DLC crap came along so I wouldn't be surprised especially with some of the things they left out of this game.

Past experience with MvC says no.

   @delusionaltool: I had X-men vs Street Fighter on the Sega Saturn or something.  I remember being pissed because you couldn't swap out characters during a fight....the best part of the game!
 
I don't understand how character DLC will work.  What if my friend d/ls the characters and I don't?  Will they release a mandatory update for everyone regardless if you buy the characters or not?  The other option, splitting the community, sounds like a bad idea especially if they release multiple packs.  I recall reading not so long ago people were pissed that everyone couldn't see their SSF4 DLC costumes that they purchased....makes sense that I wouldn't see them if I didn't pay to download them.

Of course that's what they'd do. What's the downside? If you're able to be in a situation where you'd be seeing someone else's DLC characters then you'd be in a situation where you could receive a title update. "

" Does a Super versus game exist?  "

The answer isn't just "no," but "obviously not."

I accidentally clicked yes, but I really meant no.:(

Maybe won't be entitled 'Super' but I think there certainly will be a second edition of MvC3. Think Capcom went a bit cheap with parts of this game so it would be welcomed.  
 
Oh! and on a side note Pheonix Wright NEEDS to be in this damn game.
