Get ready to deliver especially brutal beatings in "Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds," now that Akuma and Taskmaster have joined the title's roster as in-game unlockable characters!

From Capcom's Street Fighter franchise comes the evil and uber-powerful Akuma, joining his Capcom compatriots Viewtiful Joe, Amaterasu, Dante, Ryu, Morrigan, Chris Redfield, Felicia, Trish, Haggar, Chun-Li, and Tron Bonne among others.

@Z3RO180: Actually, Taskmaster is more well known than Moon Knight and Tasky even had his own mini recently.

@SegaPlatinum Bayonetta isn't a Capcom character, so she can't be in the game. @Squeaky : Team bonus wouldn't work in a fighting game and neither would a "Side scrolling adventure. It's a fighting game and the fighting is what matters. Also, Gambit isn't doing much these days, so it's understandable that he didn't return.
