Ryan Hauser writes, "It's a bit hard to believe, but Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is just around the corner. It has been 10+ years in the making and come next February, MvC3 will be unleashed onto the gaming masses. And while I'm sure you've seen wishlists like this before, I thought I'd throw my two cents in and reflect on a few Marvel and Capcom characters that deserve to make the final cut. Capcom has done well to include some new faces but too many fighters are characters we've seen before. Both universes have so much more to offer than the obvious choices. Sure I'm all for popular characters but seriously, this has been a long time coming. So without further adieu, here are a handful of fighters that Capcom should at the very least consider as DLC."
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?
