that was 90's Marvel. X Men were the best thing they had going, Spiderman had just embarrassed themselves with the Clone Saga, no other Marvel book was consistently putting out good stories like X Men was.

Always bothered me as a kid that Thor had his entire sprite made but wasn't playable, the only thing I knew Thor from growing up was his appearance in the Hulk cartoon.

[@n.s1588]

Many characters had entire sprites made with out being playable, being playable involved many many additional frames of characters being made , example moves and special attacks movement frames voice lines and excetetra

Only Arthur and Thor were eventually added to the franchise as full playable characters. Hopefully Devilotte and Jubilee will get the same treatment one day.

[@cambelmilton2724]

@@Nerdemia Hard to say as with how MvCI turned out (which is mostly Marvel/Disney’s fault as Capcom was handcuffed and had little to no creative control over the project with a shoestring budget) and with how Marvel/Disney is nowadays, there’s most likely never going to be another MvC title in the future.

they only have the sprites doing a few frames of animation. to be a full character would need hundreds of not thousands more animations each being newly drawn. if they were 3d models it would be easier.

(Michelle Heart, Saki, and Lou) Sidebar 2: The flame that blows fire when Lou shoots the arrows can hit the opponent as well if they're at point blank range for more hits and damage. Sidebar 3: For those you never knew this, you have to hold specific buttons to get certain assist partners. (For the Younger Millenials and Gen Z who never knew the ins and outs of this game)
