No, even worse, the first ever crossover was X Men Children of the Atom, a X-Men only fighting game, made by Capcom, with Akuma as a secret character, before X-Men vs. SF. Yep. The X-Men were the first ever characters, so it's even worse.

Sandwitch Zebra What makes it even MORE worse is the fact they didn't have f*cking Akuma in it. If he wasn't part of COTA,MvC wouldn't have been a thought.

Akuma had no excuse not to be in it. He was one of the most popular Street Fighter characters as well, had a pretty unique moveset, and was, like you and I said, the man who started it all.

[@rosesske2551]

Plus they acted like characters don’t matter in a crossover. DBFZ And Smash Brothers Ultimate sure proved that statement incorrect.

[@SandwitchZebra]

I just want to remind you all, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and the revamped Ultimate did the same. Aside from Graphics, it has less characters, had Shuma Gorath and Jill as DLC, characters from 1 and 2, had characters like Strider in the revamp only, and has many bugs and broken stuff, like PHOENIX, and yet we treat it like it's what this game should've been. Infinite might be disappointing, but that by no means means it's bad. Good gameplay, nice balancing (mostly) a nice and engaging story, even though it did many things wrong and could've been more, realistic graphics, that, while looking much less creative then UMVC3, looks... all right (even if some models look off), tried to do many new things, and overall, is still fun to play. And Venom is literally the only DLC from the past. Yeah, maybe it has a safe and small roster. Maybe half the main villian is DLC. Maybe it's graphics are sub par. But if you're willing to call a game bad based off previous installments, or because you don't like a few things, or because PR was (I'll admit) absolutely HORRIBLE, then you have no idea what a game is. Capcom and Marvel didn't want it like this. They tried so many things to turn it around. But if you @Travis V, think they want to lose customers, you're wrong. And Capcom isn't dead. Mega Man 11, Street Fighter V is still going strong, and many more things to come. But if one game, ONE GAME, in their huge history, is enough, then I have no words.

[@ComicWriter-ml3qt]

11:24 when I played mvc3 for the first time nearly a month ago, I didn’t think about the type of character I was gonna try and learn. I thought about which character I liked, (Spider-Man) and decided, “hey, let’s learn this one). I didn’t think anything of what type of strategy would be needed to utilize Spider-Man to his full potential. I thought, I liked the character, I want to learn how to play them. The characters are not just functions. If that was the case, then the roster could be a hell of a lot shorter.

[@jonashworth9757]

Radical Brothers Gaming I agree with everything you said, but I’ll add one more thing. MvC2 was my all time favorite fighting game. So I inherently made the mistake of hoping 3 would be the exact same. It was not. The controls were different, characters were MiA, and the mechanics were changed from 2. So it wasn’t the same game I remembered. I gave it a chance, but Infinite totally ruined any interest I still had. It’s a shame.

[@SuperLlama42]

Honestly, the biggest problem with the "Functions" argument is, why bother paying all that licensing money making an MvC game AT ALL at that point? By that logic, it'd probably be cheaper to just throw money at in-house artists to have them design some replacement characters, throw them all in a fighting game that plays exactly like MvC and advertise your brand new fighting game franchise that's totally not MvC but is absolutely MvC.

[@KnakuanaRka]

Yeah, a game like MvC is absolutely sold on its characters and IP; it is basically the worst game possible to make that sort of comment about.

[@elbertpaulvillacorte6090]

2022 and I still agree with you on this. It's the main reason why DBFZ completely crushed MVC:I.

Combofiend's "function" argument is automatically sunk by the existence of Marvel vs Capcom. If the function was all that mattered, why make a Marvel crossover game at all? If function was all that mattered, Capcom could have just made 15 original characters that played like the MVC classics, and kept all the money. Capcom didn't do that because it knew the form mattered greatly.

[@gc3k]

That's a good point. If Marvel only wanted to promote upcoming MCU+Sony projects, why didn't Capcom introduce new Capcom characters that played like the missing Marvel characters? No X-Men or F4 favorites basically killed the game, but everything about it looked uninspired, with a lot of returning characters that were famous in tournaments but aren't fan favorites. You can't sell a MvC game with Mayor Haggar as a main character. Seriously, where are the Street Fighter characters? Even MvC3 had CViper and Akuma in it

[@michaelmccoy1794]

That is a great point. HOWEVER i think combofiend had a decent point as well, he just didn't express it too great. If he would have said function was PART of the picture, instead of saying it was ONLY the functions that mattered, i think he might not have created such a backlash.

[@BainesMkII]

Combofiend was basically ****ed. He felt that he needed to defend the absence of fan-favorite characters, but couldn't say anything that would reflect negatively on either the game or Marvel. He couldn't say the truth, so he had to make up an excuse in a situation where no excuse was going to be accepted. That he managed to come up with that particular excuse was just icing on the cake.

[@mondayjoker]

I forgive the guy. Most people dont understand the pressure in that kind of situation. In the world of corporate PR, the suits take great joy in shooting the messenger. Even if he had said something seemingly innocent like; "It's out of our hands" or "It's in Marvels hands, sorry." In the end the fans shot the messenger anyway.

[@BainesMkII]

Fans would have been somewhat accepting, at least towards Capcom, with "It's in Marvel's hands". But fan ire would be directed at Marvel, which would cause Marvel to get upset with Capcom. Worse, this was a potential legal minefield for Marvel. It was already believed that Marvel conducting a years long multi-media effort to downplay the Fantastic Four and to replace Marvel's mutants with Inhumans, conduct which Marvel denied despite plenty of evidence. Marvel *had* to deny it. If Marvel admitted to intentionally devaluing the Fantastic Four and X-Men franchises, then Fox could have taken Marvel to court. And Capcom saying "Marvel wouldn't let us use the X-Men and Fantastic Four, fan favorites and staple characters of the series, in the newest MvC" would be exactly the kind of evidence needed.

bocodamondo I think it’s dead. UMVC never really sold that well according to Capcom and this game looks like it sold even less. It doesn’t even have the halo effect of tournament play to boost sales for a week. It’s dead. Capcom would be better served either coming out with a new franchise or reviving something like Darkstalkers/Vampire Savior. But if SFV and MVCI is any indication they don’t have the team or resources to do it justice. SFV wouldn’t even exist if Sony weren’t paying for it. Fighting games just don’t bring in the same amount of revenue something like Resident Evil does. I think the fighting game crown is going to be handed to Arcsys for the foreseeable future.

[@xavierlugo5296]

Leon would of sold me..BUT I don't like the 2v2 i think it's whack and borin

[@Monty2289]

I still give Marvel the huge blame on this one. Because no matter what you say about Capcom. They know how to make games. Yeah there are some questionable lazy spells and they got rid of their big idea and charm devs (Now Platinum games) but their talent when it comes to presentation is pretty high. The ball was dropped so hard here because of the RED side of the crossover and if I sat here and said why it'd be an essay. Capcom for crying out loud needs to make an ALL-Stars vs. title. I wouldn't even mind if they cut corners. As long as their presentation is good and they spend time on improving MVC3's system. I say 'cut corners' because they'd run into all the problems they did with this game but with much better presentation and music they could win people back over.

[@iflyte]

Jessica Jones, seriously?

[@SeanUCF]

Xavier Lugo 2v2 is a far better format. It's far more strategic and would allow for specialized team up moves (like Hulk and Zangief double atomic buster or ken/ryu double shinku hadouken). Unfortunately they didn't do anything like that for MvCI like they had in versus games of the past. I would have killed for a Megaman X and Zero double special move.

This applies to literally any game anyone plays and they act like they are nothing more than expendable fighters.

[@IAmTheStig32]

I remember reading once on Tumblr something that said your main in a fighting game is basically your Stand. In other words (for non-Jojo's fans), your main is literally the manifestation of your fighting spirit. You pick your main because something about them resonates with YOU. Part of the reason I main Blake/Makoto in BBTAG is, although they do complement each other well mechanically, nothing to do with that; it's because not only do I like both characters in their home franchises individually but also they play off each other amazingly - two cute animal girls who faced racism in their worlds, one dealt with it by being sweet and silly and the other by being salty and serious. If they really met they would probably get along from the word go, and something about that is just really nice to me. Yeah, they absolutely missed the point.

One other thing that sucked about MvC Infinite's presentation that doesn't get discussed as much as I think it should, was the music. So many of the character themes missed the mark. Captain America's theme is mixed too low and honestly sounds more appropriate as a background for a menu screen, Dante's theme has vocals so compressed it sounds like they recorded it with a microphone they fished out of a lake, the Monster Hunter's theme is just butchered by generic electronica sound so badly that you can barely recognise her theme, and Nova's new theme is... just awful; it sounds like a news jingle, or like a Captain America theme, especially jarring as Nova had one of the best themes in MvC3. Not to mention there's just so little creativity involved, it's mostly just dance party remixes of their old themes. Compare with DBFZ and BBTAG. Let's start with the former: there's so much variety, from Android 16's "protect this cool nightclub I loved, Gohan" Russian dubstep theme to Hit's little number with the high impact saxual violence, but they all fit the characters and they all feel hype. As for BBTAG, we get all the character themes (and the classic pre-Chrono Phantasma ones in the case of Blazblue), the new RWBY characters get mix themes made of themes from the show, three variations on the main Crossing Fate theme to represent each franchise (all done in the musical style by Shoji Meguro, Raito and Jeff Williams no less) and a kickass final boss theme for SYSTEM. It's just not good enough on MvCI's end.

[@pizzahighfive2612]

Yes as a musician who heavily pays attention to video game music, MvCi music is soul less. Why is movies, games, and music so soul less now?

[@trevinodude]

I never thought I'd agree with Jameson of all people... but he is right. The music was lackluster and tried too much to be like the MCU music. Other Marvel games got this right... a non fighting game example, Spider-Man PS4... orchestral music can be great in tough battles, but it needs to sound distinct, different than other tracks. And MvCi's ost doesn't have that distinctness. [Also admin is a musician/music major, so yeah... I spend a lot of time analyzing music]

For me, one of the biggest problems with the modern fighting games is its focus on constantly pushing DLC and releasing what ultimately feels like a game that was hastily put together. For a game that should be focused on mechanics and a well balanced game, it rarely feels that way to me. Story modes are usually rushed and boil down to "enough talk, let's fight" almost all the time. Dragonball Fighter Z was the only game in recent memory since Mortal Kombat X that didn't do this. Games like Street Fighter 5 and Cross Tag have most of their rosters carved out as DLC. A lot of them don't even have unlockables anymore, giving them zero replay value.

[@st4ne4rmthevill63]

Injustice 1 & 2 have *amazing* story modes & replay value. To the point that I never purchased any DLC for either games. Their story modes are significantly better then DBFighters in my opinion. I just really liked seeing my favorite DB characters interact.

[@slayertakim1]

play unist

[@illicitbike2782]

Fighting games never really had importance in story value which is why most fighting games like DBFZ and MKX have a more rushed story but had interactions between characters like Goku and Vegeta for Dragonball and Scorpion and Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat. Some of the DLC charaters can be unlocked in DBFZ like some fatalities and brutalities can be found in the Crypt in MKX it does take time and of course you can buy them but companies been doing the for years tho most notoriously Asura's Wrath on Xbox 360 where the ending part of the game was behind a $20 cost. Games that were fighting that as amazing story and replay value was what Nathaniel Clark said and was Injustice 1 & 2 mostly because they were comics before games and had that as a background.

[@superbro6413]

Making my prediction now, 80% sure it'll be correct: - Any and all development for Infinite is done - Marvel 3 will never be touched, re-release or otherwise - Marvel 2 will fall to the same fate - Marvel Origins collection will stay delisted for all time - The MvC franchise has been sunset permanently This situation really sucks, but that's how the cookie crumbles. Hopefully there will actually be another fighting game after SFV developer support ends in 2020. Maybe take the hyper fighting style and make a true Capcom All Stars? I can only hope. Good stuff either way

[@Stumblebee]

Something I wanted to mention in this video but couldn't find a place for is Capcom's habit of throwing out games like feelers to get an understanding of where their IPs stand with general audiences. See Darkstalkers Ressurection/USF2T/MvC2 and SF3 rereleases, etc. The way MvC flopped has me worried for the future of the franchise. Hope I'm wrong.

Everybody has different reasons detailing why they didn't like MvCI, my personal biggest gripe was the presentation and the bad post-launch support... Which is such a shame because previous titles nailed those. MvC3 did everything so much better presentation-wise and it made it so much more fun to watch, even if MvCI gameplay-wise was so much more fun to play from an objective "gameplay-focused" standpoint. Although I hate UMvC3's balance issues (Vergil), stupidly long inescapable combos (lack of mega-crash-esque ability), and prominence of irritating assists (Doom), I will always choose it because although it has those issues, it _feels_ so much better just based on the characters you can play and the presentation alone.

@Bret Hart See this is when talking out of your ass goes wrong. 1: I said "I don't work for capcom or Disney and I believe you don't either" so how in the world did you decide that this game is Disney funded with no evidence to back it up with? The closing of Capcom Vancouver holds no weight here because A. MvCI wasn't made there and B. The studio just shut down six days ago. So please explain how a game that came out a year ago, can be effected by Vancouver's 2018 closing? Answer: you're talking out of your ass. Here's what we know: "Capcom announced the closure of the studio in September 2018, cancelling Dead Rising titles in the works and moving other development to their Japan-based studios." ...nope...nothing to do with MvCI at all. 2: Capcom has NEVER stated that Disney gave them money to create mvci. The ONLY thing we know for sure is : "Capcom initially lost the use of the Marvel license in 2012, after The Walt Disney Company decided to focus on self-publishing its own gaming titles; however, Capcom was able to reacquire the license after Disney dissolved its console publishing division." Can I get a reacquired license amen. So now that we've actually did a bit of reading, what's the common practice for a game such as this you ask? Gee! I don't know, character licensing perhaps!? Like I said already? Even though I don't work there? Yea like almost every other crossover game. Sure makes sense right? No matter what the budget was, MvCi failed because of Capcoms shady business practices, horrible PR and lack of clarity towards the future of this game. Case closed. Reading is fundamental.

I would like to see Tatsunoko vs Capcom happen again, that game was the bomb, perhaps even better than MvC3. I'd also love to see MvC2 again, but thats almost an impossible Oh well =/

EVO 2020, you called it!

[@TheMissKittyStar]

Lance Toth Lol, that was a pretty epic call

[@Mandalor10]

Because it wasn't good. It came out right after Injustice 2. Because they slashed the roster and took out the X-Men. Just a dumpster fire from day one.

Bayonetta is Sega, not Capcom.

[@dingkong5034]

@@JohnGaming55 Hm. Earlier leaks for the roster listed Bayonetta for some reason.

[@luisreyes1963]

Fine and dandy, but isn't Bayonetta a SEGA property?

[@drew8235]

What fascinated me about MVC2 back in the day was just the insane amount of characters in it, and characters you'd likely never heard of. That's the same charm that Smash has always offered. So for MVC Infinite to take a massive step back is a huge failure, despite any good qualities the game may have. I see no reason to play it over MVC2, of 3 for that matter.

[@Dyndase-29]

MvC: Infinite could be used for publicity when Avenger 4 premiers.

[@prodbykenshi304]

The difference between mvci and Fighterz is when something is for the money and for the fans

WELL SAID!!!!

[@apollorock3r244]

03:12 Chun-Li looks better with that face. XD The good news is that this year’s EVO (2020) has Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 returning once again.

[@dragondelsur5156]

WRYYYYYYYYYY

[@Jsslade]

And 3 years later we had UMVC3 at 2023's EVO. Maybe there's still hope after all...?

[@rafnork9325]

The character roster and the lack of 3v3 totally shut it down for me.

[@truearea53]

Same here

[@Nocturne22]

Squirrel Girl, Angela, Medusa, Blade, Daredevil, Silver Surfer, X-Men, Fantastic Four - they had so many options but Marvel didn't use any of them. Capcom also had a boring ass roster that relied way too heavily on the modern stuff instead of using characters from their entire history.

[@DRACOFURY]

The Capcom roster was SOOOOOOOOOOOO 🔥🚮

[@lucafiorentini3396]

They haven't used asura..

[@luisreyes1963]

If i may interject, without the X-Men the MvC series lost its appeal. And yet, i fail to see where would the Fantastic Four would fit in a Marvel vs. Capcom fighting game. To me, they're just gimmicks. As for the Capcom side, stick with the classics, a character like Asura would just ruin the aesthetic of Capcom's veteran roster.

[@ajscrewu]

First 3 characters you named are straight garbage I’m glad you didn’t pick the roster.

[@zeroattentiongaming820]

@@lucafiorentini3396 Probably won't ever see him again. People hate Capcom for the ending controversy. Capcom has a bit of a habit of treating negative reaction to their decisions as the fans just not wanting the entire thing, rather than just not make the same mistake next time.

[@DragmaKerp]

As a fan of MVC I passed this game because I felt the roster was too small compared to 3 and that at least 6 fighters were announced as day one DLC.

[@KaladinVegapunk]

honestly 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time, so just playing it in high res with new characters was still fun, even if it was streamlined a bit i could still have my classic lineup of dante and rocket, (minus deadpool) even if i missed him and wolverine i think one of the big reasons they were so big back in the day was not only having all the best capcom characters, but marvel people that werent in any popular media like cable and deadpool, i mean back in 07/08 noone had ever heard of them

[@DrEarthwormRobotnik]

I just picked up Infinite since I had a “buy two, get one free” coupon. It’s not a bad game, but the presentation and ESPECIALLY the roster needs work.

[@pauldelol]

The presentation is ABSOLUTELY FINE. Don’t get me wrong, UMVC3 had a good art style, but Infinite’s style doesn’t deserve this hate.

[@KnakuanaRka]

What’s especially hilarious about the “form over function” thing is that he said it about Marvel vs Capcom, aka a game with two cash cow franchises mashed up, where nerds and gamers from all over the spectrum are going to fall in love with the IP and the famous characters. So yeah, with how much MvC is sold on its IPs, it is absolutely the worst game possible to make that sort of comment about.

[@skaterboiijes]

The Marvel side could’ve used Star Lord, Ant Man, Wasp, Nebula, Shuri, Vision and add bad guys like Crossbones, Loki, Man Ape, and have like the final boss like a Celestial just how they always did in every MvC game that they have a big health bar. For Capcom they could’ve used their classic characters from Street Fighters, Rival School, Final Fight, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, etc. to make the game more of their arcade-y style game just as always

[@ravenfrancis1476]

I think that'd just add to the whole "basically promotional material for the MCU" criticism if you added characters that are almost exclusively known for their portrayals in the MCU.

[@ShibuNub3305]

Personally, I would have loved asura being on the Capcom side, but that’s just my fever dream

[@roberthasudungan1546]

Why Star-Lord, when you can include Cable? Why Nebula, when you can include Psylocke? Why Crossbones, when you can include Doctor Doom?

[@ballisticboo7808]

Ant Man and Loki would be sick

This video proves that KZbin contains good videos covering any random thing you can come across. Good video. Keep up the good work.

[@Enigmatism415]

I never thought this was a very appropriate universe crossover. Capcom vs SNK always made more sense and would have had a far more grounded story.

[@themanwhosoldyou9545]

Shut up that's exactly the reason the games were great.

[@Enigmatism415]

@Speed Racer Because people didn't care about story, they just wanted a beautiful flashy button-mashing fight-fest. Capcom vs SNK had a much better, more believable plot for their universes.

[@leecroft1983]

Don't worry, I'm sure Capcom would somehow fuck it up... probably through locked on disc content or pay to own DLC of characters that were originally cut so can be sold later.

[@Netherwolf6100]

MvsC2 is still my personal favorite.

[@leecroft1983]

@ProToken 420 Agree. I remember playing it on the Godly Dreamcast back in the day, just amazing.
