So, as this game is just about to come out I find it amazing that people are still complaining about how there are "only" 30 something characters compared to MvC2's 50 something. One, 30 something is a shitload of characters in a fighting game. Second, does no one realize that MvC2 only had that many characters because Capcom just started pulling sprites from a dozen different games that spanned something like a decade of time? You can't exactly give them full credit for putting all those characters into the last game. Third, it's probably generally harder to develop, model, and animate a 3D character for a modern game than it is to put together a set of sprites for a fighting game that worked off of 90's game resolutions. Even the biggest were probably only a 100x100 pixels at a given time.
Anyway, I ordered the game a while back and it seems I somehow got release date delivery although I didn't pay for or request it. FedEx says I should expect the delivery tomorrow... now if I wasn't so busy with stuff right now.
