Get your butt kicked by Capcom staff

Virtua Fighter 4 EVO based its high level AI off of the top Virtua Fighter 4 players of the time. Tekken 6 included "Ghosts", downloads of people playing online that would mimic the fighting styles of those you have fought in the past. Now Marvel vs. Capcom 3 brings us fighting fans the Shadow Mode.

Exclusively revealed to Gamespot, Shadow Mode allows you to download packs of AI characters based off of the fighting styles of Capcom staff and "famous players from the fighting game scene." The first pack, available sometime during March, will contain teams modeled after producer Ryota Niitsuma, associate producer Akihito Kadowaki and a QA Tester.

No famous players have been announced, but hopefully they will make a Justin Wong pack.

Here are some shots of the Shadow Mode in action:

A nice feature. But not worth the money that it will cost since I am sure it will be 400-800 points

I hope this is free. There is still a difference in playing against an AI of Justin Wong and playing against the actual person. Still it will be nice to see how a player stacks up against these guys.

I guess I don't get how this will work at all. Isn't it basically a normal AI battle with tougher enemies?

The similar quoted "ghosts" feature in Tekken 6 was, and I can't imagine many people would pay for AI downloads when they can play "real" competitors online for free.

Can't wait for this game! I'm already hardening up my d-pad thumb calluss in preperation :)

i like this. it'll be cool to see how I stack up against against the best. at very least, if it mimics their styles I should be able to pick up some little things to improve my game.

I like these types of modes. It lets me know that I don't suck because of poorly programmed AI. It also lets me know that if I master the highest difficulty, I can hang with the best players in real life.
IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS. YOU GOT THE BFG9000!! OH, YES.

Ever seen someone perfect a whole game of arcade mode on the highest difficulty? Exactly!

Then I realized that you (probably) meant the downloads for Shadow Mode.

Realistically, they'll be 160MSP each, much like RB or GH tracks. I can't see them actually charging $5 just for some AI script, even if it is building realistic versions of actual players.

It'll probably cost about as much as Extra System voices in Blaz Blue, or as much as additional Costumes in any given game (like Street Fighter IV)
