GG: Overall Marvel vs Capcom 3 is a blessing for me. It’s the first time I’ve ever had the opportunity to play my favourite fighting series along with a community that’s learning the ropes at the same pace I am. As a fan of the old ones it definitely delivers mechanically. There are a few characters left out of the roster — and a few added — that leave me scratching my head, but with Capcom stating their commitment to DLC I have faith my favourites will return. Until then, Marvel vs Capcom 3 is living up to my expectations and exceeding them more and more as I uncover new techniques daily.
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?
