Deadpool Vs Dante in the New Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Trailer

Here comes a new challenger... Wade Wilson!

  And this is STILL more than a year away.
 And this is STILL more than a year away.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (or E3, as the cool kids call it) is coming up next week and, sure enough, there’s a new MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3 trailer to coincide with it. You’re getting some more groovy showdowns here between Iron Man and Morrigan, Wolverine and Ryu and Chris Reddfield’s borderline-suicidal attack on the Hulk... as well as a gun fight between Deadpool and Dante?! The two D-guys’ inclusion was probably the worst kept secret Capcom’s ever tried to conceal and this, to my knowledge, is the first time these two fighters have appeared in anything official without a cloak of silhouette.

You know, I’m a devotee of both of these companies’ products, but I’ve never played any of the DEVIL MAY CRY games. What’s Dante’s deal? Are he and the Merc with a Mouth about even in powers and abilities, or is this going to be another “squash match” like Hulk’s impending mauling of Mr. Redfield. And if so, who’s gonna dominate whom? == TEASER ==

Marvel’s hyping the ending, but it’s actually kind of nebulous. These eight challengers cease their combat while an orange vortex appears in the sky. Do you figure more challengers are going to pop out of that? Fans are sure that Chun-Li, Akuma, Super-Skrull, Captain America or that blue-haired cat girl from DARKSTALKERS are probably going to be in the roster.  Or maybe a new, even more terrifying final boss will step out who’ll make previous bosses Apocalypse, Onslaught and Abyss (the green gas armor guy, not the AOA horseman) look laughable in comparison?

As long as Captain Commando and Stryder show up, I’ll be happy. Anyway, here’s the rad trailer…
