For 10 years, fans have waited for a sequel to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, a 3-on-3 fighter that continues to draw large crowds at fighting game tournaments. But because Capcom couldn't retain the Marvel license (due to legal conflicts over copyrights), the series was placed on hiatus. Capcom, though, managed to score back the license, and has been developing MvC3 for quite some time.
Artist Chris Cayco, who we’ve featured a few times before on Kotaku, grew up playing Marvel vs. Capcom (and Marvel vs. Street Fighter) games. His tribute to this, which took him over 175 hours, was to combine every single character to ever appear in Capcom’s crossover series in the one enormous image.
Makes me despise Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite that much more
So much wasted potential
As common as it is today, it is hard to believe that there was a time where gaming franchises crossing over was just a pipe dream. Capcom broke down the wall, but they took the combination of some of the most unlikely of franchises and made it the norm.
Whether it was a colossal successful partnership with Marvel Comics or a collaboration with rivals Namco and SNK, the “Vs.” series brought unforgettable experiences to the fighting genre.
Marvel doesn't just have a bright future ahead of it in films, but in the gaming realm as well. Some exciting new titles are showing up on all hardware, so does that mean gamers are finally catching up with the MCU?
Marvel vs Capcom 2 was one of the best fighter my generation for sure!! I hope the 3rd is at least on par..I see in the video that they're going the art style they also used on SF4..I think this game is gonna be Awesome!! Can't wait!!
