There's more than enough iconic and unique blizzard characters across the IPs of Starcraft, Diablo, and Warcraft to flush out a 64 man roster on each side.
What do you think about a crossover like this?
Blizzard vs Capcom fighting game
I'm not even sure how they are filling out Blizzard DOTA to be honest. Now Capcom DOTA, that would be awesome.

That already exists as a map somewhere on War3, along with...countless others. Quality of said maps however.....
Oh and, Blizzard has heaps of characters, i could name, off the top of my head, more characters from Blizzard alone than the number selectable in MvC3.
@Tim_the_Corsair: I LOLed. But then I'm also a massive WH40k nerd, so maybe I'm biased.
On topic: While Blizzard probably has plenty of characters that fans can name off the top of their heads, I dunno that they have the kind of diversity among said characters that a VS game would require.

No capcom would put some stupid fucking comeback mechanic in it and screw it all up!
Meanwhile Blizzard would start each round with both fighters blind to each other and make you collect resources before both fighters can see everything on the screen.

Ya and the comeback mechanic is when the other player is about to win you get all there resources.
Blizzard doesn't have enough characters I care about for me to have interest in a crossover.I actually think that a lot of the bosses would look totally rad in a fighting game. illidin with his soulglaves, arthas with frostmourne... though in the fiction it take's like 25 people to take these guys down- there's no place for them in a 1-on-1 fighting game. Dumb idea.

NO! We need a console war game. Sorta like Nintendo vs. Sony vs. Microsoft
Master Chief
Mario and Luigi
Drake
Cole
Yoshi
Gears Of War characters
Resident Evil character
(And than there would be special DLC characters from Dreamcast. I can't name any, but still)
How about Ryo Hazuki?

Capcom has characters that people are likely to know regardless of their familiarity with the games in question. I only ever played ResE4, but I know who Jill Valentine is. On the other hand, here are all of the Blizzard characters that I can name:
Jim Raynor
Kerrigan
Diablo
Now I am an up-on-my-fucking-games sort of guy, so if those are the only characters that I can name then how screwed will everyone else who ISN'T a massive Blizzard nerd going to be? I won't say that Blizzard won't use those lesser-known characters, or that they won't be successful, but if they want to reach anywhere close to LoL numbers they can't build a game that will only appeal to people who already play Blizzard games.
@nintendoeats: Just like how most people wouldn't recognise half the Capcom characters in MvC3? And anybody who doesn't follow comic books wouldn't have a clue who a majority of the Marvel characters are?
Also, how could you forget Arthas? The dude who's been on like...how many Warcraft game covers? He's pretty much the biggest Blizzard character right now.
@Shirogane: I figured that he was like the Sheppard on the front of the Mass Effect boxes.
Anyway, the number of well-known MvC characters far outrank Blizzard's library. Everybody is guaranteed to be able to put together a team of dudes that they know. Comic books and Capcom games are pervasive in our society. Unless you play WoW or SC2, Blizzard is practically non-existant.
