Only if SNK makes it.

No thanks.
A Capcom-made CvS3 would be a travesty. It would break my heart to see a Howard or Bogard derping around in the SFIV engine.
SNK made a vs game. Remember?
They made KOF 13, which is beautiful 2D next to Capcom's ugly engine. Made a great game as well.
KOF13 was awesome, but I'm not convinced that it wasn't a fluke.
SNK would probably do better with SvC2 than they did with Chaos. It'd still be awhile off due to the Capcom fighters being essentially new to their KOF XIII engine.
Knowing Capcom is done with 2D, a 3D CVS3 is better than none at all... uh wait. Get (Un)real, and have Arc System Works help instead of Dimps or 8ing. No Samurai Shodown Sen characters though- use their SSVSpecial versions instead.
Compare SNK and Capcom's resumes since CvS2 (2001):
SNK*:
KoF2002 - one of the best games ever
SvC Chaos - garbage
KoF2003 - excellent
KoF Max Impact - terrible
KoF '94 Rebout - great
KoF Max Impact Regulation A - good
NGBC - mediocre
KoFXI - masterpiece
KoF '98 UM - genius
KoF2002 UM - brilliant
KoF XII - not good, but better than its reputation
KoFXIII - one of the best games ever
Four of SNK's last five games destroy anything Capcom has released since CvS2.
Capcom:
Capcom Fighting Jam - lol
SSF2T:HDR - no
SFIV - eh
SSFIV - nah
MvC3 - nuh-uh
SSFIV AE - gtfo
UMvC3 - not bad
SFxT - u srs?
* No idea what's been going on with Samurai Shodown
