MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 - HISTORY & OUTRAGEOUS EXPECTATIONS!?

[@adamdonnelly6470]

Tastsunoko and Marvel 3 were my first fighting games. Love them to death, too many good memories to count.

[@Sjono]

MvC3 had such an awesome art style it makes me that much more aggravated about the bland artistic direction MvC:I went with

[@ThePrimalOne]

The artwork was ok. It was too American looking especially considering the franchises history.

[@Axzle_YT]

KE1X the artwork was just fine for this installment. Although I do catch your drift.

[@dustinlawson5882]

Biggest issue with that game was the roster

[@mergalmamavoir8715]

The funny thing is it takes 5gb to download mvcu bur it takes 25gb to download mvci which is criminal most likely because of mvci bland story telling elements.

[@2_572]

They need to go the route of dragon ball fighter z honestly.

[@chinaski31dj]

I still prefer the comic book style of the 90’s games.

[@tracyndiyob162]

yeah marvel vs. capcom 1 is still my favorite of the 3 along with x men vs street fighter (i still remember playing them back to back at the arcade in the car wash as a kid.really never realized how lucky i was since it was my first arcade game ever. :3)

[@chinaski31dj]

Tracy Ndiyob Xmen children of the atom was my first marvel game i played in the arcade. The record store i shopped at when i was 17 had a street fighter 2 cabinet. had never seen anything like it. got the SNES street fighter 2 bundle that same year.

[@tracyndiyob162]

@@chinaski31dj :3cool,always nice to hear about peoples first experiances of fighting games at the arcade(imo i think it just translates better with the simple but straightforward structure than consoles which i feel may be the reason marvel vs capcom 2 and 3 were a bit dissapointing to me in that era.though the car wash arcade eventually replaced x men vs street fighter with marvel super heroes vs. street fighter and mvc2 was added as well and i did have some fun with 2 to understand why its loved its just not as much as 1 to me.:3)

[@Mighty-VizioN]

My first time was with COTA at a huge arcade in Chicago. It was the loudest game in the place. And when MVC came out it was even louder. As I walk around you hear MARVEL VERSES CAPCOM!!!. in the distance. And when I saw it my mouth dropped. It took my favorite fight games by capcom and made a masterpiece. After that I was praying for a Thundercats and Silverhawks crossover. A guy can dream.

[@geovannielugo5555]

Marvel vs capcom 2 still my favorite of all VS series!

[@mscottjohnson3424]

Marvel 3 should have kept Morrigan's original Darkstalkers sprite, you know, for continuity.

I still play this game on my PS4. It is truly awesome.

[@CeeJai_K]

Kush Man nice. I use Storm, Jean, and Wolverine

[@thaddeusevans9655]

Hulk,sentinel,Hawkeye I play umvc3 almost everyday. I love how you can be down two characters and make a marvelous comeback with xfactor.

[@mightyfilm]

Somehow, I remember Mega Man's fanbase being furious that the Blue Bomber wasn't in the game, but Rocket Raccoon was. And this is before the MCU films made Rocket a household name, so you couldn't blame them in that respect. Actually, I typed that before the mention of "Ultimate," so it was that version they were mumbling about.

[@Fidelis1776]

To bounce off your OP, I remember some fans theorizing that the character picks were based on future Marvel film properties and other saying they were crazy. Fast forward to the next game in the series, and it was proven by the lack of X-Men characters.

[@mightyfilm]

That's because at the time Disney was VERY passive aggressive about marketing any characters they didn't have the film rights to. For a while there was no X-Men or Fantastic Four anything of any kind. No toys, no shirts, no anything. Well, except maybe some Deadpool stuff when that movie came out. They owned the characters in everything but those film rights, so if they wanted to pull an Ultimate Spider-Man and cheat the license with a cartoon series tie in if they really wanted to. My guess is they were trying to get the X-Men and FF movies to fail due to lack of merchandising presence. Of course we all know that the FF movie failed due to lack of talent and Fox wanting to hold onto the rights to movies that weren't money makers or critic and fan pleasers for some reason. Still, the only thing I can say about that fourth game? At least we got Funko pops of Mega Man X and Sigma out of it.

[@Nay089]

Man I love this game. I spent a chunk of my life exclusively playing MvC3 and Ultimate MvC3. Going to tiny local tournaments and joining online communities. I ran a Taskmaster, Haggar, and Dormammu team in both versions. This is the game that truly got Maximillian’s KZbin channel started too.

[@SuperArt7]

The FGC loves this game still 👍🏽 not MvC2 but it does received a lot of love. We got some hype Evo moments outta it for a few years. Game was solid

[@jckorn9148]

I remember seeing a demo for this at Comic-Con and hearing the wisecracks from Deadpool during gameplay. This appearance did wonders in getting people to discover and want more from the Merc with a mouth.

[@Sjono]

Viewtiful Joe is such a perfect addition to the Marvel vs Capcom series, idk why they’d ever dare dropping him in MvC:I

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

Part of me wishes that, before all of Marvel versus all of Capcom, we had received a few more distinct groups versus each other. Like, say, Darkstalkers Vs. Marvel Horror. EDIT: Correction, Marvel Vs. Capcom (Horror Edition). No sense leaving out Capcom's other suitable franchises.

[@wirlogx]

I love MVC3, the only thing that still stings to me was the fact that Ultimate launched in less than a year after Vanilla MVC and was not and expansion pack or even DLC

[@kadosho02]

That was a weird time. Not to mention limited availability of extra characters (only as dlc?) That was a weird choice with vanilla. But thankfully Ultimate kept everything intact, but it was rushed. 🤔 I really miss the VS points system from 2, it was so rewarding. And you could use it towards Characters, Stages, and colors. Sigh, roster in 3 was much smaller. They did the best they could at the time.

[@TexasHollowEarth]

@@kadosho02 - Jill & Shuma were STILL dlc characters in Ultimate MvC3. Only on the remasters, is the roster complete. The Vita version also has Jill & Shuma locked behind a paywall.... & all the dlc has been removed by Disney.

[@stallionmouse]

I couldn't bring myself to play 3 or infinite after growing up with the masterful progression of the series culminating with MvC2. Sad.

[@sleazyfellow]

Dude I got 3 very close to launch and as soon as I popped it in, played through arcade mode I felt very let down. When ultimate released I didn't care, but it shows how fans have come to expect less and less from Capcom has time has went on, it also reflects on gaming as a whole. It all culminated in sf5, which was the biggest POS upon release but still had defenders.

[@DM-qd7gw]

The plan for MvC3 was to fix some of the bugs in MvC2 and add 50 more characters for a complete game. But it didn't work out that way.

[@JDDK28]

umvc3 is the game i like most from the versus series, with very little changes in that game it would be played to this day in big stages, pretty much taking away infinites and nerfing x-factor as much modders had done already, i know its still be played, but not as it was before infinite, i dont hate infinite by any means, but its killed umvc3 and itself, and we are pretty much without a mahvel game since then. lets hope they will announce another one at Evo.

The sprite work from the original run has my heart. MvC3 was ok but I loved the prequels. I was looking for that same passion with UMvC3 but it never materialized. Arc System Works should make the next game if it ever gets made

[@sleazyfellow]

Same here, but also keep in mind mvc2 was the arcades last hurrah in the United States. They were already dying when mvc2 came but at the time the big craze was fat people on DDR.

[@bruceleeds7988]

If you look carefully at the roster on both franchises, Every character was picked to promote upcoming titles, Crimson Viper = SFIV, Thor had a movie, Dr Strange had a movie coming so did Rocket racoon. Ghouls And Ghosts is a more sucsessful franchise than Cap Com (pun intended, by them). It's why sure faves like Cyclops, Ken, Sabretooth and Gambit did not make it back

I personally think the reason why Mega Man wasn't brought back was due to his projectile-based moveset. He didn't use projectiles too much in mvc 1 or 2, but the developers probably didn't like that representation of Mega Man, so they stuck to Zero and Tron who have more traditional movesets

Never (except for Silver Samurai being played by a Capcom dev).

This was the game that got me into fighting games in the first place after this got street fighter 4 and the my all time fav soul caliber 2 on gcn

[@Juwellz18]

I can't wait for that Marvel vs Capcom infinite video

[@davidpalmer7952]

Very detailed analysis

[@josephandreuccetti8043]

Everyone wants a MVC4 with every character from the series past and present with the same ability to do swag combos, plink,wave dashing, infinite’s and open ended combo systems and layered mix ups. MVC2 needs a HDR remake to rebalance all the low tiers with Hypers that hit and work that are usable and or they can actually combo into. The God tiers everyone wants left alone. The games been balanced by the players and they know what characters don’t work or are unusable. RYU and Roll along with Chun lee are unplayable really along with even Shuma. The games been “balanced” by how it’s played and you simply just need to ask the pros what the low and mid tiers need. The game doesn’t need to change that much and my only issue I’ve ever said was Anti air assists have far far to much invisibility. They should be able to be punished a bit easier just like in UMVC or even DBZ.

You forgot to mention how Capcom took out some characters that were supposed to be playable in the game but we're cut our because Capcom tried to do dlc ripoffs. Such characters include Frank West and Dr. Octopus. The fact that their are leaks that strongly indicate that their is extra data in the game for such characters. Not to mention how fans of the series were really pissed about it aside from those new to the franchise and those of the fgc community.

It's a good game but MvsC2 is the best one, hands down. I have all 4 ( MvsC, MvsC2, Ultimate MvsC3, MvsC Ultimate). Graphics aren't everything. The original 2D titles had a lot more charm and personality and the gameplay was definitely superior (which matters most). If they copy the original essence and formula and pair that with updated graphics, the biggest roster yet including all the fighters from the series so far, and maybe even a 2D sprite classic mode to appeal to early players' sense of nostalgia, they'll make a killing and reinvigorate the franchise.

[@maskedHERO99]

ultimate was legit perfect

[@ricky-sanchez]

Ultimate had the characters, but was REALLY slow. Play mvc2 and play mvc3. HUGE difference. Understand the fighting mechanics.

[@topsecret770]

Since we gotta Mario 3D Allstars, Capcom should give us Marvel vs Capcom 1, 2, 3 Ultimate on Switch. I'd buy it. Who else would buy it?

[@edgelord8337]

The good one. Unlike ultimate which got screwed over by Disney.

[@TexasHollowEarth]

This one IS screwed. The dlc has all been removed, for purchase. Disney strikes again. The roster in this game sux, too.

[@RelatosDeUnReploid]

I think you mean Infinite.

[@bruceleeds7988]

good not great though

[@o_oro-q1k]

Ultimate 3 was great tf are you on?

[@paulakroy2635]

Strider Maverick Capcom screwed infinite way more than Disney

[@rollin-kimblecroskey9110]

It's not the best fighting game but I still enjoy playing it🎮

[@baddabaddabaddaswing]

I'd say yes, it lived to the hype. It was fairly accessible for the time, and a good roster with a mix of fan favs, MCU related newcomers (without making them MCU knockoff versions) and fun weird additions like MODOK. I was shocked Shuma Gorath was included. I do wish it lasted longer with seasons of DLC, but that wasn't really the style of releasing fighting games DLC yet for fighting games. If we got later DLC seasons with heavily requested characters like Mega Man (or X), Jin Saotome, Venom, etc it would likely turn into GOAT. I didn't like the heavy shading style at first, but would take it any day over the bland style we got for Infinite. My biggest gripe was the Capcom side. Both uMvC3 and Infinite had boring rosters for the capcom side. We didn't see a lot of obscure characters, or really wacky and colourful ones. There's some good ones like Viewtiful Joe, Amatersau, Tron Bonne, Arthur & Red Areemer, but I was hoping for more WTF and obscure characters like they did for MvC1.

[@edgarramos1499]

its the hypest game of all time, it by far surpassed and shattered all expectations. Even today is the standard all other fighters should be help too.

[@MS46532]

MVC3 was my childhood!

[@Nintenerdo]

That moment when you realize the marvel side was lowkey foreshadowing the future movies and series.

[@Finfection]

This game's meta grew into "50/50 mix up followed by death" the game. SF4 had the same problem. For some reason Capcom in this era had a weird thing where they would simplify certain aspects of their fighters but then add dumb shit like characters having 50/50 vortexes that were difficult to get out of. MvC3 was made to intentionally be broken and easy on the execution side. But it got to the point to where whoever's touched their opponent first would wipeout their lifebar.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

If you have Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, then there is no need to get the original version of Marvel vs Capcom 3.

[@zombie3833]

MvC3 normal configuration is a 6 button game. L, M, H, launch, assist 1, assist 2

[@RadzKiram]

Street fighter is already a weeb series. It also has a weeb character called ken.

[@MrPink-fx3xw]

Hey man SF III Third Strike is a great game with a dope soundtrack to boot

[@NewportBox100s]

Computer Man always getting a shoutout lol

[@moose8671]

ITS MAHVEL BABY

[@DanTJones]

Yesssss!

[@bruceleeds7988]

Spiderman? It's not his last name, he is a Spider... Man!!! who got the reference??

[@ShinGoukiSan]

Both Tatsunoko Vs Capcom and this should have had an Advanced Mode that made it at least the MVC2 controls if not the full 6 button Layout. Bought this game and it collected dust.

[@aaront.akabiggs631]

Capcom really stepped up their side of the roster on this one

[@jayzus1024]

You should do a video on Tag Tournament 2 !

[@RedneckOgre]

MVC3 sucked and was destroyed by Disney putting the brakes on Capcom being able to use certain Marvel characters and generally meddling in the game’s development.

[@TexasHollowEarth]

Yeah. No Juggernaut & dlc that has since, been pulled. I hated the 4 button, generic normals.

[@AveMcree]

Joey Wyatt interesting hot take. It would go well with mvci and not mvc3.

[@mike_pogo]

You sure you’re talking about Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and not Marvel Vs. Capcom infinite?

[@shrek187]

I say both companies failed on their department when it came to certain characters. For the apcom side we got C. Viper, a shitty version of Jill, nuSpencer who by a miracle was a decent character, No version of Mega Man and it all went down to who was going to promote what. Even when you look at both sides, characters like Shuma, Sentinel, Deadpool, Phoenix Wright and MODOK were personal requests by the team and fans. The only character I see that was a wasted slot was Ghost Rider to promote the more recent crap movie by the time Ultimate was out.

[@paulakroy2635]

mike_pogo Infinite was pretty much solely crapcoms fault
