Phoenix and Haggar Added to ‘Marvel vs. Capcom 3′ Roster

With just a month away from its release date, Marvel vs. Capcom 3: The Fate of Two Worlds is still dropping announcement bombs all over the fighting game world. With members of the final roster still to be revealed, Capcom announced two new characters this past weekend at the Consumer Electronics Show.

Making her debut to the Capcom fighting genre is Jean Grey, better known as Phoenix. With the power to literally rip worlds in half, the Phoenix force is considered one of the strongest entities in the Marvel universe. Now, the Phoenix comes to the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 arena with the cosmic power to take on man and immortal alike. Take a peek below at the new footage of Jean Grey in action, including her hypercombo Dark Phoenix finish.

Before Jesse “The Body” Ventura was governor, professional wrestling’s first politician was none other than Mike Haggar of Final Fight fame. In an effort to save his daughter, he recruited Cody and Dan to help rid the streets of Metro City’s filth. Now, Haggar joins the Marvel vs. Capcom fray in a very interesting way.

Take a close look at the moves seen in Haggar’s video below. Pretty familiar right? Well, as any MvC alumni will notice, it looks like Street Fighter II’s Zangief has gotten a reskin as the American professional wrestling mayor.
