Resident Evil 1’s Tyrant Cut From Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Roster

During Capcom’s big reveal of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, producer Ryota Niitsuma was asked if the Tyrant from the original Resident Evil would be playable. His answer regarding the giant, clawed t-virus abomination was a bit of a shocker.

“I can tell you this,” Niitsuma began. “There were plans to include Tyrant in the game up to the very middle. Then we kind of cut that. Sorry.”

If you didn’t already know, Jill Valentine could summon the Tyrant from the ground with one of her super moves in Marvel vs. Capcom 2. The skinned gorilla-looking creature would burst from under the stage similarly to the way he did in Resident Evil 1’s conclusion on the mansion heliport.

Consider me saddened that I will not be able to deliver a dragon uppercut to the mutant’s exposed heart.

bummer that would've been a cool character

They should add Nemesis from RE3.

meh he really wasnt all that great in MVC2 anyway.
by WS-N Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 10:22 AM

Well, never played this game so no loss for me.

I love that quote. "the very middle" and "kind of cut that. Sorry" XD

It probably would have unbalanced it anyway, if they represented him faithfully.

booooo
by RandomHero1014 Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 01:49 PM

i hope they set it up as at least a DLC
by Drade... that Guy.... Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 01:55 PM

He would have been a beast of a playable character.
by high3stg4m3rsc0re Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 02:07 PM

i had him as an action figure
by BloodyMurder Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 03:56 PM

As long as Jill is still there.

COUGH.
by OmegaSpartan08 Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 04:07 PM

tyrant wasn't in a RE game for years so i'm sure Chris can summon one of the newer t-virus mutations or it can be a whole new playable character.
by bioshocker Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 04:32 PM

@ OmegaSpartan08

But the Tyrant was in the very first Resident Evil title...

I second that Lyte Epps, it would be an epic win if they could include Nemesis in the MvC3 roster...heck, I'm excited about a game that I probably won't be purchasing XD.
by C.C. Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 04:59 PM

hope they keep Jill in there she kinda fun to use...
by wynd.and.fury Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 05:35 PM

that's depressing...though Nemesis would be live
by Madnesskz Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 08:26 PM

That sucks. tyrant would have been a cool playable character
by RMPR Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 12:23 AM

Booooooooooooooooooooo!

Still hoping for HUNK, and maybe the Tofu for a laugh.

I hope the only verision of Iron Man is red a gold. For some reason when I play the 2nd Marvel VS. Capcom on Xbox 360 live he appears wearing the blue stealth armor.
