Marvel Vs Capcom 3 will include in-game licence cards as well as a Mission Mode, marvel.com is reporting.
The comic giant's official website has the run-down of the current announced modes for the 2D tag-team fighter. Along with the standard Single Player and Versus, there'll be a Mission mode, that'll require you to perform character-specific challenges. Screenshots suggest we're looking at something similar to Street Fighter IV's combo challenges.
More interesting in the inclusion of License Cards. Similar to Xbox Live's Gamercards, these will list your personal stats, as well as listing your favourite team and your various strengths and weaknesses.
"The data found here tracks player tendencies based on their fighting style." Said Capcom. "Your own License Card will in fact record your data, let you choose your favorite icon to represent you and record your battles and player points. The data in the License Card will allow you to see positive and negative points about your play style. By reviewing player data online, you can find friends and rivals to play against and then do "recon" as the fight starts up. The License Card will allow you to see who an opponent's favorite team of characters is, number of wins and losses, what kind of attacks they like and much more."
Sounds good to us, and it'll be interesting to see what characters become favoured by top-tier players.
