| abstract | - Every character in Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 has a set of alternate costumes. These are purely cosmetic changes; costumes have no effect on gameplay. Each alternate costume makes reference to various Marvel comic books settings and characters, Capcom video game characters, or original concepts. With the exception of DLC, alternate costumes are recolored versions of the base character model; DLC costumes are entirely new models. In Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, each character has a total of 6 costumes (not counting DLC). Characters from Marvel vs. Capcom 3 now have an additional two alternates. Existing costumes have been improved/edited to look more like their comic book inspirations, though some were replaced (i.e. the Vergil-like Wesker alternate in Marvel vs Capcom 3 has been removed to avoid confusion with Vergil in Ultimate). A large-scale glitch has been discovered allowing players to select alternate costumes that they have not yet bought. This involves a complicated set of selections involving selecting a character they already have a costume for, highlighting a character that doesn't have an alt yet, canceling back to the first character and pressing L1/LB Button at the right time. This is the only way for players to access Magneto's alternate costume, which is currently not officially available. A video of the glitch can be seen in action here: [1]
- Several characters have access to alternate costumes. These are shown below. For costumes such as the Angel Mort costume, see Costumes.
- Alternates costumes are unlockable features in the game.
