MvC3 gets Akuma and Taskmaster

Two more fighters join Marvel Vs Capcom 3's brawl and with the release date rapidly approaching, can the publisher squeeze any more goodness out to surprise us at this late stage?

Street Fighter legend Akuma is the first to step into the ring, and needs no introduction. Taskmaster might be a unknown to Marvel casuals, but he's a super villain/occasional government-sanctioned teacher capable of mimicking any movement he sees. You've guessed his play-style already: he's got range of moves that copy other combatants, though we doubt he's just an elaborate "random choice" character who uses a random move set each match.

his range of skills makes him the second mixed character alongside the Super Skrull, who mimics the Fantastic Four's power sets.

The game hits stores February 18. Screens and art below.
