Hey there, GameSpotter true believers! My name is Chris Baker, and I'm one of the lucky few who does games stuff for Marvel. Yes, I even work on Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. For the next several weeks, I'm teaming up with our friends at Capcom to bring you an insider's perspective on how all of the alternate looks for characters were chosen in the game.
As I mentioned on Marvel.com last Friday (and if you saw that, you've read what comes next; if you didn't, enjoy the setup), one of the things I was most proud of with the release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in February was making the alternate color schemes for Marvel characters as "Marvel" as possible. While past Marvel fighting games by Capcom went the typical fighting-game route for alternates, simply creating different color schemes with no readily apparent rhyme or reason (other than looking cool), we managed to provide comic-related reasoning for pretty much every alternate in MVC3. And we're doing it bigger and better with Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom. As we count down the days until UMVC3 launches in November, Marvel.com, Capcom Unity, and GameSpot are teaming up on Tuesdays and Fridays to show you the entire lineup of "fall fashions" for each of the 50 total playable characters. That's six total looks per fighter--not just four like last time--which are all available as soon as you boot up the game. Outside of actually downloading the playable characters of Shuma-Gorath and Jill Valentine, no downloadable content is required (though there might just be some of that on the way as well).
Everytime I wear a different color shirt I tell myself I'm in costume
What a lie the dude that did all these swaps is living
Did Patel get fired? There's a guy with a blue shirt in his office.What a lie the dude that did all these swaps is living
If glasses can be a disguise then palette swaps can be a new costume

The colors are available in pretty much all modes, but can’t be seen by people who haven’t purchased the DLC. (Also, we weren’t able to save the color palettes in replay files, so please be aware of that.)

i love the myriad excuses they're coming up with to justify the white costumes
why not just come out and say "we want to give everyone a white costume, deal with it"
Yes, and that thought was put into writing the descriptions. Nice work random intern shithead.i love the myriad excuses they're coming up with to justify the white costumes
