Last night, the ESRB posted a description for Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I read it, but didn’t notice any clues about unannounced characters. Did I miss something? Reader Dennis who sent us a tip about this thinks I did.
First, let’s look at the description.
This is an arcade-style fighting game in which players can engage in three-on-three battles with characters from the Marvel Comics and Capcom universes. Players punch, kick, and use over-the-top attacks (e.g., laser blasts, fireballs, lightning strikes) to deplete opponents’ life meters. Some characters also use pistols, swords, throwing knives, or explosives to knock characters across the screen or to the ground. A handful of female characters wear revealing outfits that expose large amounts of cleavage and buttocks (e.g., one character’s costume covers her breasts with thin strips of cloth). The dialogue sometimes references suggestive material (e.g., "Ya got any naked pictures of your mom? Want some?"), and one still-frame cutscene depicts a female pole dancer under a sign that reads, "Sexual Embrace." Language such as "a*s, "hell," and "b*e-yotch" appear in dialogue.
Strips of cloth? I suppose that could be a warning about Felicia and I believe the "Sexual Embrace" sign is for Morrigan.
The line "Ya got any naked pictures of your mom? Want some?" sounds like something Deadpool would say to me. Dennis thinks its for Frank West, who has not been announced for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 yet. He was in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, though. What do you think? Frank, Deadpool or someone else?
A hat tip and journalist snooping badge to Dennis for the tip!
