to make mvc3 on a whole new engine in a new style but make the characters still feel exactly how they did in mvc2 (like wolverine for example) is a feat not many praise. the dev team such a good job on this game.

[@robertmanes9333]

Doom and Magneto feel completely different. Sentinel is entirely redesigned. The combos are much easier and it has the worst comeback mechanic of all time. MvC2 was the last true arcade tournament fighting game and MvC3 ushered in the age of the player who rarely leaves his house yet is still 100x more socially adept than Super Smash Bros players

I loved this game. Was the resurgence of fighting games and a great way to end the 360/PS3 era. Was shocked when it was announced honestly. Hoping they make 4 soon and combine the roster from 2, 3, and Infinite with a bunch of new faces. Rei from Breath of Fire 3, X-Men, Asura from Asura's Wrath, and whomever. The PC Mods have been amazing and Capcom could sell DLC for years. Give the people what they want! Take my money!

[@WarlockX4]

My friends and I loved MvC 2 and CvSNK 2. When street fighter 4 and MvC 3 came around the fighting mechanics didn't, for lack of a better term, "feel right" anymore. I don't know how to explain it but the jumps felt off and the timing of the hits were changed. So we stuck to the 2D sprite fighters.

[@charlesm7700]

Wow. I feel you 100%. I appreciate the hell out of mvc3... but I have so much muscle memory in mvc2 I could never stick to 3

Infinite felt like a rather a sequel to Marvel: Contest of Champions while it tries to mimick the gameplay formulas of both MSH and XMvsSF. The game was a complete downgrade, even thanks to Disney who won't stop milking both the Avengers and Guardians. The worst roster choices in Infinite: Rocket Racoon and Monster Hunter

Honestly, I massively prefer the spread of characters offered in MVC 3 over 2. Though 2 had more fighters, a lot of them were only pulled from the X-Men and Street Fighter series, making the rest of Marvel and Capcom almost feel like guest stars. We had most of Jim Lee's X-Men roster in the game, yet somehow couldn't get Thor to complete Marvel's big three. I feel like MVC 3 does a much better job at covering all corners of their respective company's franchises. There are still some odd choices (funny as they are, I'd still trade Shuma Gorath and MODOK for Venom and Thanos any day), but overall it feels like a roster that delivers much better on the promise of Marvel vs Capcom.

[@paulakroy2635]

Venom being cut in a versus game feels bad but honestly Thanos feels weirdly medicore in the vs

We need a proper Capcom Vs. Capcom game Who cares if Capcom Fighting Evolution existed and if it proved such an idea would fail.
