In Stores: June 23, 2010
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

Looks... meh
Well. It's Carey. There's still hope.
yeah I'm officially over Land's work at least on x-Men anyways.
Lol, Mike Carey is never meh - he has done wonderful things with Betsy. I for one can't wait until he takes over Uncanny from Fraction.
Omg, is Carey going to take over Uncanny? When!? Sweet! When is Fraction coming off?
Love Carey, but every time i see Land's work it's like everyone is making their orgasm face.
Okay, when draws women with their mouth open it is extremely unsexy. They open them so wide and square, they look like Nutcrackers, including the wooden teeth painted white. It's too square and gaping.
^
But Domino's screaming is supposed to be unsexy. She's in the middle of a battle. I guess Land did a good job then.
Unsexy is just a side-effect - before that it's amateurish and laughable. I doubt she's supposed to look like a Nutcracker drawn by an amateur.
He traced that off of Psylocke's gaping mouth when she kicked that superfast ninja guy, and also that girl running from the bridge when the red bubble was first laid down. It's the same mouth 3 times, unless it's just one of those things he has trouble drawing and he doesn't know how to make it not look stupid.
Hey Cmx and Luckystar I don't know if you gusy read this but would it be possible to get a like "Psylocke through the Ages" type of special on the blog? Just like some great moments in time from Betsy that made us like her and introduce others to storylines they might not have seen? Maybe just a post like that or something when the blog is low on Psylocke news. I just thought it would be kinda cool. Great job on the blog!
Supposed leak roster for MVC 3 for the Marvel side. Some of them we already know from promos and shadow silhouettes. They have said they will try to expand the roster up until the release date. Fingers crossed for Psylocke.

Captain America (confirmed)
Spiderman (obviously will be in)

Where did you get that list from? its very different to this one.
@Treysome - If any of this is true, I don't see how Emma could be included over Psylocke...
I hope Betsy makes it, but now, I am having serious doubts...
@Treysome - Hey, if that is the "final" roster for Marvel, then I'm disapppointed already. Hopefully, this is just hearsay, and the roster will be expanded. How can X-Men fans be "pleased" with Rogue, Psylocke, Colossus, Iceman, and Gambit not board (yet?)....
2 leaks have had almost the exact same list now, both didnt have Cyclops or Storm even. Wolverine, Emma Frost, X-23, Juggernaut and Magneto if marvel are calling the shots this list makes a lot sense when this games started development.
I bet Capcom wanted Psylocke and Marvel said to put in Elektra and Emma instead. I swear i can almost see this happening especially if Betsy was in Exiles at the time of the discussions.
I guess if you look at comics nowadays none of your list or the classic X-men i grew up with too are that relevant in the grand scheme of things at the moment. Rogue, Gambit and Psylocke have been awol for quite a while and away from the main team stories and Iceman and Colossus are team players but they're nearly always background, makes me surprised Pixie hasn't been announced yet! lol
Someone from Capcom has already stated the first leaked list with X-23, Emma, etc was a fake list. It also had Mr Fantastic on it and the Fantastic Four will not be in this game. The one I posted is the one I’m currently following that seems to be coming true as they reveal more characters. Most of the Marvel roster is not hard to determine if you really look at it ie Thor, Spiderman, Magneto, Dr Doom. Over the years since MVC 2 some characters have risen in fame and others have faded into the background. The creators have said they had characters selected but sometimes Marvel would say use this character instead of that one. So I could see Marvel putting Emma(as the X girl) in over Psylocke since we know Storm is already a shoe in and we can’t have half a roster of X-Men. But as I have said before they are going to try to cram in as many characters as they can before launch.
The guy who originally leaked the X-23 and Frost list also leaked everything in super street fighter 4. That same list has now once again been pulled from the Japanese Capcom website via their flash coding. Until proven otherwise its hard not to believe it at this point with 2 sources purporting the exact same information.
If Psylocke doesn't make first cut, there's a chance she could be included as a DLC character...
Yes, Centurion is right. If Psylocke isn't selectable in MvC3 from the beginning, she could still be added later as extra content. Plus, we should wait a little longer to see if these lists are really accurate, shall we?
About both lists, even though the first one was leaked by the same person who found out about the 10 additional SSFIV fighters, the list that Treysome posted looks more credible. Come on, do you really believe that Marvel would leave Storm and Cyclops out of this game and add instead She-Hulk (who I adore, but she's far from recognizable, let's face it).

Changing subjects, will this blog post the spoilers and scans of this week's X-Men Legacy issue?? Although I decided to stop following the final issues of Second Coming, I guess most Psylocke fans would like to see the panels with her in it (assuming there is any).
@FSaker - Hi there. There's always a possibility that there may be a feature to allow players to "purchase" and or unlock characters that are hidden in the game. Remember in MVC2 there was a store that we could deem points for different characters? If such a feature were included in MVC3, we could have about 50 characters, which I think would be much better than having 30 in total. Unfortunately, we are not going to appease everyone, but I just don't see how so many endearing characters from MVC2 could be dropped in the upcoming sequel... Quantity can equate with quality, as long as the characters are well balanced. I agree that Psylocke's chances are 50/50, but her popularity is gaining greater strength nowadays, and she is a much better choice for this type of game than Emma (assuming Emma is in the final cut)
Very Best,
centurion
Looking at Marvel3 so far, its still far too Tatsunoko ish, especially the air combos that dont feel half as nice as Marvel2's ones. Admitedley they have added a nice new team super feature which will probably be removed before its released and an improved air combo switch system.
Tatasunoko sold ok but marvel2 was apparently the biggest selling download game EVER! so not appeasing its fans by giving them the characters they want and making it closer to Marvel2 than Tatsunoko is huge stupidity, but then this is capcom whom seem incapable of making good decisions sometimes.
The god tier from Marvel2 Storm, Cable, Magneto and Sentinel I actually despise, they've destroyed my Psylocke online so many times with their dirt cheap broken tactics its a joke but to get Marvel 2 fans onboard they should try to appease them. All those characters need is some fair rebalancing. Seth Killian has already stated that Storm's cheap tactic of flying into the air being unreachable and spamming attack to raise meter is no longer possible in MVC3, hint that Storm is in? maybe. Apart from the god tier the other really popular characters of Marvel2 in tourneys and gameplay terms were Captain Commando, PSYLOCKE, Tron Bonne, Doom and Strider. So out of the huge Marvel 2 cast she is a possibility if they decide to appease fans.
Personally I think they should have Servbot playable, they've already got the model and Frank West needs his own personal Servbot, that guy is servbot crazy! ;)
