Is Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 about the balance or the bucks? See what Marcel Hoang has to say about the latest entry in the street fighters versus superheroes saga.
Batsu Ichimonji and Bishop from the X-Men are joining the fight in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 through a recently created mod for the game.
Dual Pixels: "After Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite there was a lot of doubt regarding the franchise ever returning in some sort of fashion..."
Capcom seriously dropped the ball with MvC Infinite. You can tell that it was heavily influenced by outside marketing that wanted to promote the characters in the MCU films only. The roster was lacking, the gameplay was slower than the previous game and there just wasn't a lot of the wackiness we come to expect.
From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
Frequent updates to fighting games were alright at the arcades, but on home consoles it's getting annoying.
I'm glad that they went with the Ultimate edition. If each of those characters had been released as DLC (given the math as set out by Shuma and Jill), we would have been paying $60 (five times twelve). And that's without adding in spectator mode and stuff. One other thing to point out is that if we are to believe the leaked list (which I completely do), 11 of the 12 new characters have never been in a Vs. series game before (and Strider is only in there because he should have been in the first place). That's awesome!
A $40 dollar update this big sounds like a bargain to me. I'll be there day one, with four Hamiltons and a shit-eating grin. And I will continue to stomp motherfuckers online...only now I'll be able to do it with a flaming-skull man, a tiny raccoon with a pistol, and a gigantic mutant zombie with a rocket launcher.
All's I'm saying is that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 launched with 36 characters, almost all of whom were far more balanced than anyone in Marvel vs. Capcom 2. If that's not a finished product, I don't know what is. Capcom earned the right to release an update this big as a separate, packaged product by delivering so well with the first one.
F*ck Capcom!!!

that is all
