Well.. Capcom and Marvel have had several crossover games now. Are you really surprised to see Marvel characters popping up? I'm rather fearing the concept of Jubilee and Sakura teaming up, even briefly, and getting in trouble.. Because you know they will.. and the property damage that will probably result.

For that matter, even without bringing mutant powers into it, Jubilee and Wolverine can be reasonably well explained within the previously established Genre. You'ld have to give Jubilee a bit more marital arts training than is normally suggested, but the sparke-blast isn't all that far from any one of a wide variety of chi-blast powers, the claws are well within the limits set for experimental cybertechnology, and Logan's supertoughness/regen isn't even a stretch.

So, will we see some lost scion of the Order of the Emerald Dawn, show up later, having devoted him/herself to perfecting his/her martial skill in order to wreak revenge? Might be fun to have show up at the worst possible moment, completely out of left field with regard to the rest of the plot. On the other hand, having an entire ninja crime syndicate introduced and disposed of in one throwaway line, never to be mentioned again, has it's own over-the-top panache.

Other scary thought - the Tick is *also* easily explainable within the established genre. Now he isn't in any fighting games that I know of, so he probably won't show up, but he could, and it wouldn't be a stretch.

As for Sakura and Jubilee, neither of them is the sort to break things except in self-defense, and Sakura doesn't even seem to be into high collateral damage when she is attacked.

Oh, and Gryphon - nice teaser.

yea and Verily... let us just hope that we don't have to wait till next March for it to come out.

yes, but in the comics, it was Jubilee (at least, it was when I was hanging out in comic shops, reading them...I dunno if Marvel has restarted the universe since then)

>1.) I like the story so far.

agreed there :)

>2.) Jubalee is better at being a nearly kelpless sidekick than Rogue.

I hit him with a left hook...he eeled over. It was a fluke, but there he was, flat as a mackeral.

sorry, sorry...the quote, for those who don't recognize it, is from the song "wet dream" by (IIRC) "Kip Odada" (which I think I mis-spelled). It is a long series of fish-puns, loosely strung together :)

SO, does wolverine have his claws, or did he avoid getting adamantiumed...for that matter, is he a mutant? (do such things exist? I would imagine so, if that funky russian THING from some of the SFAlpha games exists)

Are any of these questions going to be answered with anything other than "wait and see"? :)

Sounds to me like they did, about the time the movie came out.
But having not read a comic in over a year... I am not one to know.

Great song that. I enjoy torturing my friends with the Dr. Demento
CDs every now and then.

Well... My guess is we could expect a Marvel Vs Capcom type deal since
it was one of the more interesting SF games in recent history.

But what do I know? I am just a poor little rabid crack weasel.

Possible side effects include death by cute puppies.

Or at least I was...

That ought to be fun to see , though I kinda doubt that WL-Logan
is the stainless steel inlay version ... then again , why not, in
a world where an untrained rookie martial artist can blow an armored
Merc up with a ki ball anything is possible.
As to being a mutant , well , that healing factor should be
mighty useful with the type of life he leads.

Heh, never expected WL would feature a version of my favorite
Marvel character(from when I was still into Marvel stuff anyway).

Gryph, it's official , I'm getting deprivation symptoms just waiting
for the damn thing after that trailer ...

RCW XIII ... no the _other_ thirteen.
'Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky,
With the white road smoking behind him, and his rapier brandished high!'

Just think about it. He just vanished. I think he's getting the Adamantium treatment.

Wolvie vanishes a lot... it's a habit of his...

The Blackbird is unlikely, but Skydancer is a different story...

ah! Thank you! I was pretty sure my memory was faulty, and didn't feel up to a google-trawl.

Yes, but I wouldn't exactly call the kinds of havoc that are unleashed when Wolverine vanishes 'stupid'. . . . (Anyone remember his stint as the Fourth Horseman after he vanished for a couple days?)

And would somebody please explain what the heck that quote is supposed to mean?

The First Foundation was only the beginning.

It's a quote from Battle 5, referring to the end of Battle 4.

You forget; Capcom also has Sabretooth. Now why, I ask you, would Bison concern himself with a sawed-off (5'4" to be precise), hairy, bushido-following, Canuckleheaded berserk (with the obligatory Asian-American sidekick), when he can get a monstrous (7'+ to be precise), hairy, dirty-dealing, Of-uncertain-origin berserk (with the obligatory blonde, stacked, precognitive, machinegun-toting sidekick)? Victor Creed, man; accept no substitutes.

Gosh, yeah! Why would you want the original Weapon X when you could have a professional wrestler who smells bad?

Yeesh. Give me Wade Wilson if you're gonna saddle me with one of Department H's bargain-bin specials. :)
