Akuma, Taskmaster sneak into Marvel vs Capcom 3 as secret characters

IGN has posted videos revealing the two latest additions to the roster of Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds: Akuma and Taskmaster.

Akuma is Ryu’s red-headed archenemy from the Street Fighter franchise while Taskmaster is a Marvel villain that most often clashes with Deadpool. According to Eurogamer, both characters won’t be selectable at the start of the game. Akuma will be unlocked after acquiring 2,000 Players Points while Taskmaster requires 8,000. Eurogamer also claims that Capcom plans to round out the Marvel vs Capcom 3 roster by revealing two more characters.
