Only Mike Haggar can stop A Sentinel in Metro City
We'll always have a deep respect for Mike Haggar. The guy piledrives sharks and now, apparently, fights Sentinels, evidenced in the impressive stop-motion video above. He is truly a politician for the ages.
The Ballad of Mike Haggar is truly epic
Glory and woe. The Ballad of Mike Haggar is a tale that must be passed down through the generations. For if we ever forget the great deeds of this heroic mayor, we will forever be a lesser people because of it. So, go forth and spread the Ballad of Mike Haggar.
Leaked Marvel vs. Capcom 3 trailers show Haggar and (X-Men's) Phoenix
A new trailer posted by VicioJuegos reveals that wrestler/mayor/shirt refuser Mike Haggar is joining the inter-universe battle in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 -- the last of the three Final Fight protagonists to appear in a major Capcom fighter. His moves include a lot of stuff that should be familiar to Final Fighters, including a big swing of a pipe and a super combo made entirely of a single, repeated punch. Haggar appeared on the leaked roster we had, offering some support for the authenticity of that list. Another trailer reveals the inclusion of Phoenix -- not the lawyer, before you get too excited -- the unstable version of telekinetic X-men character, Jean Grey. She wasn't on our leaked roster. See both trailers after the break.
Rumor: Marvel vs. Capcom 3 roster to include Mega Man, Frank West, and more
A source shared what they claim to be the full roster for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, containing no fewer than 18 characters who have yet to be announced by Capcom, in addition to a new "War Machine" look for Iron Man. The list includes characters like the Red Arremer, Mega Man (in Battle Network and classic styles), and Frank West/Chuck Greene (probably as alternate versions of the same character) on the Capcom end, and Ultron, Squirrel Girl, and Thanos from Marvel. The most random character on the list is probably Victor Delacroix from 2003's Chaos Legion. Though, of course, all of this new information is unconfirmed, it's worth noting that She-Hulk and Zero, both appearing in the list from our source, were announced after we received it. In addition, some of the characters, like Frank West and Soki, are believable because they were featured in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (like Zero) and thus are probably relatively easy to update for MvC3. The Mega Man character is likely also similar to the Mega Man Legends-style version found in Tatsunoko. It's possible some of the new characters are even based on Tatsunoko movesets -- Delacroix makes more sense if he's taking the place of the sword-wielding Karas or Tekkaman Blade, for example.

Rumor: Mike Haggar in Marvel vs. Capcom 3
When he's not busy being the mayor of Metro City, Mike Haggar is appearing on Capcom employees' computer monitors during Halloween parties. Spotted above, Haggar is seen in what appears to be the Servbot stage of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 behind a costumed Capcom employee. Shoryuken also speculates his elbow is what appears to be cut off in the right side of the image. While Haggar appeared way back when in Saturday Night Slam Masters, the former wrestler turned city mayor has yet to make an appearance in a fighting game proper. Could Marvel vs. Capcom 3 be it? It's certainly possible -- Capcom has since removed the photo from its Halloween party gallery.
