I'm personally hoping Sheva and some generic Monster Hunter/Lost Planet characters don't get put in there.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Feb 15, 2011
After a decade-long hiatus, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 continues the popular crossover fighting game series characterized by fast-paced gameplay, complex tag teams, and elaborate combos.
Which characters do you NOT want to see in MvC3?
A.) That bug, right?
B.) I don't want to see Superman in this game. I have a good feeling that he won't be in it.
C.) That was a joke. I know the DC thing.
I want everyone. Why would you care if they are there? The more the merrier. If you don't like them, just don't play as them. As long as they don't put in a generic character instead of a more well known one.
Psylocke. I've always hated that character primarily due to how worthless she is in the grand scheme of things, yet she remains a fan favorite for the T&A. She began as a British woman (Captain Britain, even) and then inexplicably, Marvel decided to turn her into a Japanese ninja. Every time they kill her off she comes back Marvel makes a big deal about it, gives her a new host of powers, never does anything with her and then kill her off again.
She's pretty much everything I hated about Marvel in the 90s wrapped up in a single character. That is the end of my nerd rage rant :)
The second wolverine (or any other character being put in twice). Past that, the more characters the better.
Ryu and Wolverine. Only because it would be hilarious to see the backlash over them not being included.
m.o.d.o.k. , whiplash (you know they'll toss him in with the Iron Man 2 hype right now), penance, red hulk...
The new game represents a real opportunity to get some new characters, that over the last 10 years have become important for both Capcom and Marvel. In the case of Marvel, there represents a wealth of older characters that just couldn't fit in MvC2. It's unlikely that MvC3 is going to be able to deliver over 40 Characters, as such, I don't want valuable slots to be wasted on:
Dan
Akuma
Charlie
Roll
Servbot
Thanos
Silver Samurai
Marrow
Felicia
Sonson
Ruby Heart
Amingo
Omega Red
War Machine
Cammy
Dhalsim
Venom
Anakaris
Shuma-Gorath
Sakura
Blackheart
Spiral
Psylocke
Iceman
Sentinel
Hayato
Zangief
B.B. Hood
T. Bonne
Rogue
This is not to say that the characters listed here are bad, or useless. I love many of these characters, but I feel that each of these characters can be replaced in favor of an equivalent character from their respective universe in order to create some diversity. Replacing 2/3rds of the roster will help the developers create a fresh experience and allow them to lift a "little" of the heavy burden of having the game be compared to MvC2. If most of the same characters return, a lot of people are going to be disappointed that their favorite character just doesn't "play" as well as they used to. Keep the faces of the franchise, mix up the rest.
