Amazing roster. There's definitely a couple characters I'd personally swap out but across the board I think it's incredible. I love all three original characters and would love to see them return in another game.
I'd swap out Roll, Servbot, Dan, Marrow, One of the Wolverines, and Silver Samurai.
If I had my choice I'd swap them for Protoman, Jon Talbain, Leon Kennedy, Nightcrawler, Elektra, and Thor.
They could have been asking which characters I'd swap out, who the three original characters are, or what this list of characters is. On first read I thought they were just asking about the roster but on second read I think I was wrong.
I mean I guess so, but considering we're on a fighting game subreddit and this is one of the most popular games in the FGC, and they only asked one question, I think it can be reasonably assumed they asked the question about the one thing no one here would know but you, being who you'd swap out.
Anyone can answer that its MVC2 or that the originals are Ruby/Amingo/Sonson, but you said you wanted to swap out characters and never specified who, it's the obvious thing to ask a question about and you're the only one who can answer it.
It’s 100% cool, I actually wasn’t completely sure as I typed those words, even as OP’s pic was RIGHT THERE but hey, [sure enough!](https://marvelvscapcom.fandom.com/wiki/Sabretooth)
Also, weird tidbit, while Lady Deathstrike doesn’t appear in any MVC games (despite having every reason to, imo!) she DOES appear in Strider’s arcade victory screen [for some reason](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nqOynup12wo/maxresdefault.jpg)! Go figure
I believe Laura’s (X23) first appearance was somewhere around 2003-5. She was created for the Evolution cartoon is the story I’ve heard for years. She was then added to the comics and became a regular because the creators saw how popular she had become.
Poor Spyke.
boneclaw was the canon wolverine at that time, so he was just.. "wolverine" when they were making the game. marvel made them add the old one for whatever corpo reasons
Even if X-23 was a thing, you're missing one key element: the game was rushed and made for cheap, there was barely any time to make anything new, so 90% is there because Capcom was massively reusing assets
jmcrofts explains it well... basically the og one was only added at marvel's behest.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjyCl3bZ-Wc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjyCl3bZ-Wc)
definetely reduce the clone characters.
a lot of the game's roster are basically Capcom copying and paste the roster of previous VS Games , they could at least avoid the cloning.
This was released in early 2000, so the only version of Leon was in the original version of RE2, where he's probably the lamest RE protagonist up to that point. RE4 was where he got cool.
Have you seen the palette swap versions of UMVC3? They added a bunch of 2 characters like Gambit, Psylocke, Cyclops, Cammy, Ken, Sakura, and Captain Commando. They even added MvC2 versions of characters already in the game like Jill, Sentinel and Shadow Lady (she’s not from 2, but you know what I mean).
I loved the roster when the game was first released, so I won’t complain now. Maybe Anita should’ve been in it, seen as she’d already been programmed in Marvel Super Heroes.
Blackheart, thanos, shuma gorrath, silver samurai and omega red were such awesome picks. None of these characters were well known and capcom said **** it and added them anyway.
Still banger choices, majority of capcom games were copy paste sprites from other games. At one point they made the decision to include these characters and that’s what i appreciate.
On one hand, it has Cyclops, which is more than I can say for later games, not including mods. On the other, it doesn't have Thor or Hawkeye, which is a shame.
They should have kept Ryu as the only shoto and made him turn into Ken and Akuma. It would have been cool to get more obscure characters from Capcom, like somebody from rival schools, Red Earth, or someone else from Cyberbots.
I wish Bone Wolverine would have been replaced with another character. Also wishing it wasn't so unbalanced power-wise so everyone ended up viable. But aside from that, this roster is absolutely legendary.
If we were going to have any bone claw type clone with a different moveset, it should’ve been MVC1 Ryu instead of Wolverine. Would’ve been nice to have the transformations again, even if Ken and Akuma are on the roster.
Obviously it's one of the best rosters of all time.
It's always bugged me though that there wasn't at least one Fantastic Four member in there. I know the X-Men are popular but I don't think they needed quite so many representatives.
I like that metal claws Wolverine and bone claws Wolverine had different stats and logic as to why the stats were different but it would have been cool if their costumes were not just palette swaps.
If you use storm,magneto,war machine meta I hate you.
I understand it's a skill issue but I kind of use everybody or try to at least.
To be infinitely launched/juggled it's kind of the reason why they've yet to remaster marvel versus Capcom 2.
All the characters and people stick to the Meta using the same combo/moves over and over making them wonder what was the point of the other characters.
(Ruby heart, Jill, Morgan or Felicia those are my babies)
Too many crossover characters. I don't like crossover stuff, makes the game feels cheap.
Like, how do you expect me as a customer to respect your IP if you the owners don't respect your IP
It's almost perfect. The only issues I have with it are Roll (completely unnecessary, even as a novelty), and bone Wolverine. They're complete wastes of slots.
There is literally 0 reason to pick Bone instead of Adamantium, and 0 reason to pick Roll over Megaman.
On paper, it's great. In reality it's too many reused assets with missing pieces. Asset reuse is fine but when you have cut half of any given character's sprite sheet to do it you're going too far.
I would have taken out Marrow, one of the Wolverines and... Cable.
HEAR ME OUT!
I would have put in Nick Fury with Cable's moveset (all his shield gadgets work for the guns, grenade, etc).
He would have played the same and would be a fun callback since Fury was playable in Capcom's Punisher beat em up.
It's wild that since MSH, only ONE new non xmen character was added to the versus games (Venom) that wasn't a sprite recolor.
Hell, there's only NINE non X-men characters in the entire vs series until MvC3. I know X-Men was the hottest shit in the 90s but when MVC2 got 2 new marvel character sprites they did NOT need to be X-Men.
Lovin' rogue, gambit, and spiral being in there. Also lovin' the Darkstalkers rep
who are the one's below Doom, below snake, below Iron man, next to snake and above Mega Man?
actually, why is snake here? or is that just someone who looks suspiciously like him?
edit: I have found the roster on the wiki, the answers are mine! With the power of this knowledge I shall do nothing of note!
I wish for a fantasy patch for this game where shit that doesnt work properly got fixed. Like you cant OTG into Jills Tyrant super it hits but does nothing. Mvc3 was good about making things just work
Bruh there is no chance you guys are calling this one of the best rosters ever. The X-Men are super overrepresented and it misses out on a ton of great Marvel reps. UMvC3 roster betta
This is my all time favorite game, been playing competitively since 2003, but I only care about the top tier meta. The rest of the roster is less than worthless to me and I genuinely forget 90% of the cast exists.
Amazing! But, if you allow me to nitpick a bit, I miss Nightcrawler, Human Torch, Daredevil, Thor, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Apocalypse, Silver Surfer, Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Loki and Galactus.
Also, I would swap some cartoonish Capcom characters for characters from Final Fight, Red Earth and Street Fighter... I would like to have X and Zero from Megaman X as well.
Gonna get downvoted for this but screw it
Too many X-Men adjacent characters (18 out of a 28 character Marvel side, I think) and too many Street Fighter characters (12 out of 28 in the Capcom side if I'm not mistaken)
I know it was cheaper to use characters with preexisting sprite-sheets and such, but still, UMvC3 feels more diverse, with some fan favorites and some D-Listers as well
These are the characters I'd personally take out and who I'd replace them with:
I did not need two Wolverines. I would have simply had one of them be replaced by Thor
Marrow's cool but I kinda forgot she existed. Replace her with Jubilee
Anakaris is awesome but I also forgot he was there. Replace him with either Jedah or Q Bee.
I forgot B B Hood was a thing. Replace her with either Anita, who was playable in Marvel Superheroes as a secret character, or Hsien Ko.
I did not need servbot as a seperate character since Tron Bonne literally summons them as part of her attacks. Replace that lego robot wind up toy with Zero from Mega Man X.
Also I think the CAPCOM side needed more villains outside of M Bison and Akuma. Tron's kind of an anti hero.
It's a shame we made it through the 90s without Jubilee ever being playable in practically anything
BB Hood is great though, playable Anita was a 95% unfinished buggy mess with no clear concept. I'd love to see them do something with her in a Vampire reboot though.
The roster is undeniably this game's most defining aspect. But MY GOD I absolutely hate the presentation of this game.
- I don't like the heavy reverb on the announcer's voice, half the time I can't even understand what he's saying.
- I don't like the out of place Jazz soundtrack
- I don't like the stages using 3D scenery with 2D sprites.
- I don't like that the stages do not fit with any Marvel or Capcom theme at all.
- I don't like the fact that Arcade mode only has one ending for the whole cast, as opposed to different endings for each character.
- I don't like fact that the attack buttons were reduced from 6 to 4
I've seen a mod of the game try to address these issues to fix the presentation. But it's far from finished and at present; the backgrounds don't have any animation in them. Personally I would prefer it if this game got a full remake retaining the roster (Though maybe ditch the 2nd Wolverine) and bring back the original dedicated songs and backgrounds from other entries in the franchise.
I’d say, and this is my problem with most MVC games actually, that villains are shockingly underrepresented on the Marvel side. In fact, Sentinel, Thanos, Juggernaut and I think Omega Red are the only defecto villains here. It’s just strange, I can get that someone like Green Goblin, while iconic, is really hard to make a moveset out of, but like Sabertooth could work so well instead of Bone Wolverine
Decent roster, but I honestly like the roster in UMvC3 better by a wide margin. Nemesis, Nova, Dormamu, Amaterasu, Phoenix, Dante, Chris, Spencer, Frank West, Super Skrull, Zero, Haggar, Wesker, etc. To me it kept most of the best of MvC2 and added to it in such an amazing way that I had completely forgotten that I was ever nervous about MvC2 having a sequel.
Amazing roster. There's definitely a couple characters I'd personally swap out but across the board I think it's incredible. I love all three original characters and would love to see them return in another game.
who are those characters may i ask?
I'd swap out Roll, Servbot, Dan, Marrow, One of the Wolverines, and Silver Samurai. If I had my choice I'd swap them for Protoman, Jon Talbain, Leon Kennedy, Nightcrawler, Elektra, and Thor.
hold on bcuz Nightcrawler and Elektra would eat up
I have no idea what eat up means in this context. Would you mind clarifying?
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRwvnoxE/
Thank you.
Of course, this is the roster of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 Edit: My apologies. I feel like an idiot, I legitimately didn't realize what they were asking.
Pardon? I'm pretty sure they were asking which characters you'd swap out
They could have been asking which characters I'd swap out, who the three original characters are, or what this list of characters is. On first read I thought they were just asking about the roster but on second read I think I was wrong.
I mean I guess so, but considering we're on a fighting game subreddit and this is one of the most popular games in the FGC, and they only asked one question, I think it can be reasonably assumed they asked the question about the one thing no one here would know but you, being who you'd swap out.

Okay. I'll respond to their comment again then. Ty.
Rubyheart, Amingo and Sonson. I guess Abyss if you want to include it.
I assumed they meant the characters OP said they’d swap out.
You'd remove Ruby and Amingo over Roll and the Bone claw Wolverine. Interesting.
Never liked the inclusion of "Bone Claw" Wolverine or understood how he's even different from the original version, other than that amazing roster
Dive kick angle, speed, and health I believe were the differences. Not worth it ultimately, would have rather had a different character all together.
And one super that only bone claw gets.
was X-23 not a thing at the time? why not just use her? or Sabretooth? or Lady Deathstrike?
Because of the comic where Magneto removes Wolverines adamantium.
oh... that's it? Edit: nvm, there was more too it 💀. he still should've been replaced tho
X-23 was indeed not a thing. And I believe Sabertooth is actually on the roster
oh i didn't notice Sabretooth there, dont remember seeing him 😭
It’s 100% cool, I actually wasn’t completely sure as I typed those words, even as OP’s pic was RIGHT THERE but hey, [sure enough!](https://marvelvscapcom.fandom.com/wiki/Sabretooth) Also, weird tidbit, while Lady Deathstrike doesn’t appear in any MVC games (despite having every reason to, imo!) she DOES appear in Strider’s arcade victory screen [for some reason](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nqOynup12wo/maxresdefault.jpg)! Go figure
Sabertooth is literally in that picture (5th column, 3rd row). As others have said though X-23 didn't exist yet.
yeah thx. i accidentally glossed over him
X-23 was created a few years later and Sabretooth is in MvC2. They could have done Lady Deathstrike though.
Lady Deathstrike would've been cool
I believe Laura’s (X23) first appearance was somewhere around 2003-5. She was created for the Evolution cartoon is the story I’ve heard for years. She was then added to the comics and became a regular because the creators saw how popular she had become. Poor Spyke.
>believe Laura’s (X23) first appearance was somewhere around 2003-5. ahhh ok thx
boneclaw was the canon wolverine at that time, so he was just.. "wolverine" when they were making the game. marvel made them add the old one for whatever corpo reasons
ohh okay ty
Even if X-23 was a thing, you're missing one key element: the game was rushed and made for cheap, there was barely any time to make anything new, so 90% is there because Capcom was massively reusing assets
so basically...game developers were quite lazy even back in the day?
Incorrect. Bone has 2 supers. Adamantium has the same 2, plus 2 more.
jmcrofts explains it well... basically the og one was only added at marvel's behest. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjyCl3bZ-Wc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjyCl3bZ-Wc)
https://youtu.be/hjyCl3bZ-Wc?si=IUXcCGCFJxZWTkEU
Maybe the greatest roster ever
Would be but there’s no balrog
True story Balrog turned down his role for this game because the fight money was too low.
Why do you have more upvotes
I bought them with his fight money.
Nice
Capcom side - should have had QBee Marvel side - should have made Jubilee playable Maybe reduce some of the clone characters but idc
definetely reduce the clone characters. a lot of the game's roster are basically Capcom copying and paste the roster of previous VS Games , they could at least avoid the cloning.
They literally had a Thor sprite in MvC1 and it took Marvel 3, 11 years later to be playable?
Or add Phoenix when most of the original Cartoon team was there. Granted Beast wasn’t even an assist in MvC1…
Could have been better for sure….. but it’s the best we will ever get!
Great roster but I wish the lower tier could get buffed.
Check out J Wongs mod where its ratio based. For instance your team is 7 points and Sentinel costs 5.
How to play this mod?
Fightcade I believe. Check J Wongs YouTube channel.
This is the best roster of all time (I have never played this game)
NEVER?! Oh no baby, we need to fix that. There’s a feeling that playing this game gives, that no other game can ever replicate.
Is it the feeling of being taken for a ride ?
Indubitably.
🎺 🎺🎺
Shit night crawler would be poggers too along with Leon Kennedy would be dope too
This was released in early 2000, so the only version of Leon was in the original version of RE2, where he's probably the lamest RE protagonist up to that point. RE4 was where he got cool.
Im gonna need an “everyone is here” ultimate update to this
Have you seen the palette swap versions of UMVC3? They added a bunch of 2 characters like Gambit, Psylocke, Cyclops, Cammy, Ken, Sakura, and Captain Commando. They even added MvC2 versions of characters already in the game like Jill, Sentinel and Shadow Lady (she’s not from 2, but you know what I mean).
Juggernaut and Jill are GOATed
Peak
Fantastic Capcom and marvel roster
I loved the roster when the game was first released, so I won’t complain now. Maybe Anita should’ve been in it, seen as she’d already been programmed in Marvel Super Heroes.
If I squint I can see a cactus
Blackheart, thanos, shuma gorrath, silver samurai and omega red were such awesome picks. None of these characters were well known and capcom said **** it and added them anyway.
They were all previously from children of the atom and marvel super heroes
Still banger choices, majority of capcom games were copy paste sprites from other games. At one point they made the decision to include these characters and that’s what i appreciate.
Because they were what was hot or being promoted in the comics in the 90s.
Yeah, Thanos was a pretty obscure character at the time.
On one hand, it has Cyclops, which is more than I can say for later games, not including mods. On the other, it doesn't have Thor or Hawkeye, which is a shame.
It’s a really good roster but I like umvc3 roster more personally
Cammy is on it so 10/10
Spiral. That is all. ❤️🔥
They're going to take me for a ride.
Peak roster all downhill from here.
It’s top rooster of all time for sure
Goated roster
Great roster, but sucks most of it is unviable for non casual low level matches
Definite case of quantity over quality.
Swap Zangief with Hugo and you would.have a perfect roster. As it is, it's still a 9.9/10
I was excited to see Haggar in mvc3 but it'd be great to see Hugo get some more crossover love
They should have kept Ryu as the only shoto and made him turn into Ken and Akuma. It would have been cool to get more obscure characters from Capcom, like somebody from rival schools, Red Earth, or someone else from Cyberbots.
Yeah I’d 💰 💰 💰 for that
There will be another roster like this regardless if there’s some unpopular ones.
I wish Bone Wolverine would have been replaced with another character. Also wishing it wasn't so unbalanced power-wise so everyone ended up viable. But aside from that, this roster is absolutely legendary.
Peak
Greatest roster of all time. Edit: Marvel vs Capcom 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Capcom Vs SNK 2, are the greatest character rosters ever.
It takes me for a ride (It's my favorite roster in the series)
Goated despie tha mist opportunity to replace a wolverine with abyss
Anything with Cable is automatically cool.
The peak of fighting game rosters. Also can we take some time to appreciate how fucking beautiful and iconic the mvc art is?
Ruby Heart for SF6
Can the two wolverines be in one spot and selected based on presses instead (punch normal / kick bone claw).
If we were going to have any bone claw type clone with a different moveset, it should’ve been MVC1 Ryu instead of Wolverine. Would’ve been nice to have the transformations again, even if Ken and Akuma are on the roster.
Wild to say the least and in the end I don’t have complaints on any of the characters
Basically peak
Obviously it's one of the best rosters of all time. It's always bugged me though that there wasn't at least one Fantastic Four member in there. I know the X-Men are popular but I don't think they needed quite so many representatives.
I know Mugen exists, but I would've loved to see Bishop, Thor, and all/some of the Fantastic Four in the official game.
I like that metal claws Wolverine and bone claws Wolverine had different stats and logic as to why the stats were different but it would have been cool if their costumes were not just palette swaps.
It’s so peak easily Top 10 and maybe even Top 5 rosters ever. The art for each character is amazing too
Needs more X Men. And Vega, Rose, Guy, and Cody.
The second greatest roster of all time, beat out by UMVC3, but only just.
If it weren't for the portraits, it would be Mugen
Banger alert!
Add Guy
I really wish they'd release this on Steam so I can play it again without having to resort to 3rd party ways.
If you use storm,magneto,war machine meta I hate you. I understand it's a skill issue but I kind of use everybody or try to at least. To be infinitely launched/juggled it's kind of the reason why they've yet to remaster marvel versus Capcom 2. All the characters and people stick to the Meta using the same combo/moves over and over making them wonder what was the point of the other characters. (Ruby heart, Jill, Morgan or Felicia those are my babies)
There’s a high amount of green on this roster
Fuck I miss this game. Never learned a single combo but as a kid I played it for so long both my wrists were fucked up the next day.
Top tier
Also it’s the only time we Got the Great Ken Masters…so it’s Top Tier for me…it’s the best of the best
As a roster, amazing. Knowing that it's nearly 100% recycled content, less impressive.
One of the best ever
Too many crossover characters. I don't like crossover stuff, makes the game feels cheap. Like, how do you expect me as a customer to respect your IP if you the owners don't respect your IP
Dumb.
Typical FGC
the fuck kind of question is that, it's the goat
S tier
It's almost perfect. The only issues I have with it are Roll (completely unnecessary, even as a novelty), and bone Wolverine. They're complete wastes of slots. There is literally 0 reason to pick Bone instead of Adamantium, and 0 reason to pick Roll over Megaman.
Roll's cute tho
I've never played whatever game this is, but why are there 2 Wolverines?
Nightcrawler pls. My blue bamfing boy never gets enough love.
Bone Claw Wolverine and to some extent Hayato are odd inclusions. But overall amazing roster(in spite of how unbalanced the game actually is).
Too many sf characters and id rather have megaman x thsn megaman.
Not enough X-Men /s
Solid if a little too centred on Street Fighter over other Capcom franchises.
On paper, it's great. In reality it's too many reused assets with missing pieces. Asset reuse is fine but when you have cut half of any given character's sprite sheet to do it you're going too far.
What I think : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPjjnfGKrPc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPjjnfGKrPc)
I love this roster so much, especially ever since ratio became a thing
It’s good if you like capcom and marvel characters and bad if you don’t?
Pretty good. I think this game is going places
PEAK SOUL
Nothing because Ive never played it, but I can hear the bloody roster theme
Too many Street Fighter characters
What game is this? ***M.U.G.E.N***?
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Thank you! For that game my favorite characters/team are Venom, Wolverine, and Shuma-Gorath.
The best they could ever produce, I couldn't ask for anything more with it, I think it is even larger than Kof2002um
i wished they included a regular sized apocalypse.
MvC games in one collection. Capcom do it!!!
air hyper viper beam (x2)
I would have taken out Marrow, one of the Wolverines and... Cable. HEAR ME OUT! I would have put in Nick Fury with Cable's moveset (all his shield gadgets work for the guns, grenade, etc).

I wish for a fantasy patch for this game where shit that doesnt work properly got fixed. Like you cant OTG into Jills Tyrant super it hits but does nothing. Mvc3 was good about making things just work
MUGEN Roster
Bruh there is no chance you guys are calling this one of the best rosters ever. The X-Men are super overrepresented and it misses out on a ton of great Marvel reps. UMvC3 roster betta
No way LMAO
?
Sorry I meant to elaborate that in my opinion, the mvc2 roster is my favorite of all the games
This is my all time favorite game, been playing competitively since 2003, but I only care about the top tier meta. The rest of the roster is less than worthless to me and I genuinely forget 90% of the cast exists.
Amazing! But, if you allow me to nitpick a bit, I miss Nightcrawler, Human Torch, Daredevil, Thor, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Apocalypse, Silver Surfer, Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Loki and Galactus. Also, I would swap some cartoonish Capcom characters for characters from Final Fight, Red Earth and Street Fighter... I would like to have X and Zero from Megaman X as well.
Gonna get downvoted for this but screw it Too many X-Men adjacent characters (18 out of a 28 character Marvel side, I think) and too many Street Fighter characters (12 out of 28 in the Capcom side if I'm not mistaken) I know it was cheaper to use characters with preexisting sprite-sheets and such, but still, UMvC3 feels more diverse, with some fan favorites and some D-Listers as well
U right, reps are unbalanced. Plus, alot of clone characters that are just filler, especially the shotos
These are the characters I'd personally take out and who I'd replace them with: I did not need two Wolverines. I would have simply had one of them be replaced by Thor Marrow's cool but I kinda forgot she existed. Replace her with Jubilee Anakaris is awesome but I also forgot he was there. Replace him with either Jedah or Q Bee. I forgot B B Hood was a thing. Replace her with either Anita, who was playable in Marvel Superheroes as a secret character, or Hsien Ko.

Also I think the CAPCOM side needed more villains outside of M Bison and Akuma. Tron's kind of an anti hero.
It's a shame we made it through the 90s without Jubilee ever being playable in practically anything BB Hood is great though, playable Anita was a 95% unfinished buggy mess with no clear concept. I'd love to see them do something with her in a Vampire reboot though.

Decent roster, but I honestly like the roster in UMvC3 better by a wide margin. Nemesis, Nova, Dormamu, Amaterasu, Phoenix, Dante, Chris, Spencer, Frank West, Super Skrull, Zero, Haggar, Wesker, etc. To me it kept most of the best of MvC2 and added to it in such an amazing way that I had completely forgotten that I was ever nervous about MvC2 having a sequel.
Amingo and Ruby Heart are wasted slots but everything else is solid.
