Im going with 2d also everyone recognizes most of their favorite marvel super heroes and villians in comic book form which is closer to 2d so 2d it is for me

playing mvc2 and as fun of a great game it is , and now playing sf4 and tvc:cgoh ,it's like controlling paper cut outs, dont get me wrong i love mvc2, but the animation,the amazing character models that still (well to me) have the same look and soul of their old 2d counterparts, the tatsunoko characters look exactly like their source material,and to see the marvel characters in either the tvc engine or sf4 engine would make the game worth the wait

With 2d capcom is LIMITED with what they can do. For example, the dramatic cutscenes during the lvl 3 supers in tvc looked FANTASTIC IN 3d, if they were in 2d they would look UGLY AND BORING!!!! Seriously take Saki's lvl 3 super for example, in order for it to look good it REQUIRES 3d effects. Now imagine if it looked 2d, it would look ugly and flat. When I first saw ryu's shinkuu hadoken in tvc i was AMAZED, it looked 100 times better than the one in mvc2. Also we've seen 2d reach it's limits, capcom already proved that with 3rd strike, now its time to MOVE ON. Plus if you can't recognize your super heroes from the previous installments in 3d then you are either BLIND, MENTALLY ILL OR JUST PLAIN STUPID. Also I dont think Capcom would use the same  EXACT style of models that they did with SF IV also with mvc3 because I think they already know that that would fit the series. Overall 2d is washed up, KOF XII's graphics weren't all that cracked up to be and Blazblue has been seen before *cough*guilty gear*cough the only difference is that they made the sprites bigger and smoother, THATS IT? Hd remix graphics where cool FOR REMAKING SF II, for mvc3 they would look HIDEOUS AND UGLY.

And yet the NES's Ninja Gaiden I-III's cutscenes and story still blow away even today's cutscenes.

Well, you would be surprised by what fans can pull off, using the 2-D medium. Just check out any Mugen videos on Youtube, with MvC-styled characters in it, to see what I mean (especially any that have Sandman in it ).

But still, 3-D is good enough.

The real question, however, is "Will the roster in MvC3 have more or less characters?".

By my reasoning, MvC2 may have been rushed, in order to meet fan demand for a MvC sequel.

Hence, this may be why 95% of the roster was recycled, in addition to having only one ending and no character themes and having said roster unbalanced in the tiers.

To me, it seems like they only had time to work on the engine, a few musical tracks, a handful of new characters and the (good-looking, yet generic) stages.
