If there's ever to be a Capcom Vs. SNK 3, what would you want the roster to be like? Personally, I hope that we get more variety of characters (especially on the Capcom side of the roster in which the majority are SF characters).

There's way more characters than ever before since the release of Capcom Vs. SNK 2, The King of Fighters 2000, Marvel Vs. Capcom 1 & 2, the Alpha/Zero series & the SF III series at the time CvS 2 was released, & that game was released in the Arcades back on August of 2001. That also includes more SF & KOF characters themselves who were introduced in SF IV & SF V, as well as from KOF 2001 to KOF XV now.

SNK could also some include characters on their roster from other fighters outside of KOF, such as the following (& some of them are even playable in NeoGeo Battle Coliseum):
  • 3 Count Bout
  • Aggressors of Dark Kombat
  • Kizuna Encounter
  • The Last Blade
  • Rage of the Dragons
  • Samurai Shodown
  • Savage Reign
  • World Heroes
Capcom can even also include characters on their roster outside of SF who were also appeared & were playable on other crossovers, too:
  • Capcom Fighting Evolution
  • Marvel Vs. Capcom 1 to Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite
  • Namco x Capcom
  • Project x Zone 1 & 2
  • Puzzle Fighter & Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
  • Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom
Balance it out a bit. Include non-fighters from other series such as Metal Slug & Breath of Fire in this as well. And another thing, let SNK do the work on development this time around.

I definitely agree that a new title should be more than just "KoF Universe vs Street Fighter with Morrigan". This is one aspect of SvC: Chaos I liked was that they were willing to tap into anything for the roster which I think is a fun way to get more fan favorites in there.

With that said, I personally would just need Shermie and Juri on the roster when it comes to SF/KoF picks and of course Regina & Fio as the non-fighter picks.

Just go full-on obscure for at least half the cast. Like put in a character from that Kimi no Yusha RPG for DS that SNK made that nobody remembers.

This and as much as I would love it to be 2D sprites like Capcom vs SNK 2, it'll most likely be 3D.

I just hope they go with something stylish and nice looking. ;)

I do appreciate that CvS1 & 2 largely kept things localized to solely fighting game and beat 'em up IPs, but I definitely wouldn't mind both companies diving deeper into their vast array of IP for a hypothetical CvS3.

If CvS1 & 2 were celebrations of each company's fighting game IP, I'd want a third game to be a monument to both Capcom and SNK's long and storied arcade history. Capcom kinda did that in MvC1; With the exception of Megaman & Roll, pretty much all of the Capcom characters in the game, be it playable or assist were solely from their arcade games.

Gimme shit like the the dude from Magician Lord or the plant thingy from Battle Circuit.

I love CvS but the Capcom side of the roster suuuuucks. I need more franchises than just SF.

I just want character to have their current modern design. Like dont give me dmc3 dante again. Also please drop the sf2 characters. Its one thing to have the roster be mostly sf characters but it sucks way more when most are from sf2.
Also SpaceCrystal you forgot Maki was technically not in SF when cvs2 came out.

Thinking about this game happening kinda bums me out because I have to accept that it would be 3D rather than pixel art and I can't imagine it could match the overall style present in CvSNK2 regardless. That game is so good.

I was always kinda wild to me that Team Ikari missed out on CvS2

But honestly I could take any roster CvS3 could throw at me if they kept the cool aesthetics and sound effects/music style from CvS2

I would say build upon the cast of CvsS2 and add 40 or 50 more characters. I.e. Basically everyone aka a true dream match :)

I'd like a wider array of Capcom characters, not specifically fighting game focused. Though if CvS3 would be alongside another major Versus game, I'd be more open to a fighting game focused CvS3.

I'd love some Metal Slug characters on SNK's part in their original sprite work + animations since we got Mr. Game & Watch in Smash.

Give me Hibiki, Rock Howard and the sprite editor from part 2 and I'd be happy af tbh. If it can go off the wall with like what SvC chaos did with roster expansions in that vein (deep cut roster additions) that'd be grand too.

Honestly I mostly just want to fight SFvKOF in a CvS game. Give me the weird roster in an SvC sequel.

I actually would prefer the roster just being SF vs KoF, it would help the roster have a lot more focus than just throwing the kitchen sink in like MvC and having a bunch of characters I don't care about or tons of questionable picks made because a franchise can only be represented by so many characters. All anybody cares about is Ryu and Chun Li vs Terry and Kyo anyway. Plus I'd like to see the SF characters be split into teams KoF-style and have rivalries with corresponding teams.

A more niche roster form Capcom side the likes of Regina, Zack & Wiki and so on

I mean i suppose that can work with SNK instead of Marvel/Disney

The issue with representing a lot of series is that you very easily get just the main character of each, which is inevitably Guy With Fireball and Dragon Punch. That's one of the problems with Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum in terms of gameplay, and with Tatsunoko vs Capcom in terms of the Tatsunoko character designs. And if you include additional characters, you get a super bloated roster.

Ideally I'd like them to pick a varied cast across all kinds of games, but instead of by default picking, say, Zangief as the Capcom heavy they'd have a mini Blodia or something. Definitely don't just get the 17 SF2 guys in there. For all its flaws, Capcom Fighting Jam/Evolution had an interesting roster.

No Morrigan. This is a list of what people want to see, and I'm telling you what I don't want to see.

I would assume it would be a vastly smaller roster since they wouldn't be able to rely on reusing tons of sprites.

I'd want less Street Fighter characters but I'd prefer if Capcom sticks to their fighting game IPs like Plasma Sword, Cyberbots, Rival Schools, Red Earth, Darkstalkers, and Power Stone.

I really don't want Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, or Monster Hunter characters. To me that would be boring.

I would love Capcom adding other characters like the Resident Evil and DMC crew, but sadly it will showcase how one dimensional has been SNK from most of its existence, so I would be happy if Capcom at least used characters from their most obscure fighting games

I'm obviously alone in this but I'd rather a CVS3 to be an extension of CVS2 so primarily SF (plus expanded universe) vs KOF (plus expanded universe). I'd rather over the top/out there picks to be in a faster paced over the top games like the marvel series
