This is the story of how a community of passionate players revitalized an esports scene that many had initially deemed as a failure.

What really killed it however was the terrible communication surrounding the game.

Thats a huge selling point to casual fanbase is roster size. Gameplay is important, but thats not always their main focus. And in team fighters its more mandatory to have bigger rosters.

Also presentation is super important for fighters. MvCi was just so bland with mixed voice acting, bland art direction and subpar roster. Shame as yes, the engine is great and I think the 2v2 works better than 3v3. I hope it gets another chance with a strong art direction and more "out there" roster picks, especially on the Capcom side, which have been "meh" with both UMvC3 and MvCi

This also happened with Umvc3 where it also had a bad launch because it came out less than a year and people complained about the roster due it missing characters from mvc2.

[@sxwriter8569]

Which was kind of a shame too because Niitsuma wanted to make Marvel vs Capcom 3 even better than 2, cuz the tohoku earthquake stopped development. But to be fair a lot of people forget MVC3 vanilla brought a whooping _*21 NEWCOMERS to the series: Deadpool, Dormmamu, MODOK, Wesker, C Viper, Trish, Viewtiful Joe, Zero, Amaterasu, Dante, She-Hulk, Super Skrull, X 23, Taskmaster, flipping Thor, ZERO, *_ and when you compare it to Infinite only having 6 (Captain Marvel, Gamora, Thanos, Ultron, X, Jedah) at launch, it's kinda odd. But I do feel bad for the Capcom devs that actually tried to put some love and care. I even feel bad for Combofiend for a bit since he was stuck between a Mega Buster and a Optic Blast

Even Dual Kevin who seemed like he would be a staple eventually left.

There's a lot of things I hate about MVCI. but the gameplay is pretty good. I hate how they changed cap though physically and in gameplay.

Mvci definitely isn’t without its issues but honestly the gameplay and core systems are phenomenal and I’m glad the community is still going strong

This is on Game Pass. Hearing that it has good netcode makes me want to give it a shot.

Don't bother is only a little alive in the PS4 version PC and Xbox One barely has more than 20 or 30 players sometimes

Not worth, nobody plays on Xbox and PC

I just wish MVCI could get the Battle for the Gruf treatment, instead of being completely abandoned

I expect skullgirls to get a huge boon of players thanks to the new season pass and devs
