"Marvel vs Capcom is a series that splits fighting game fans in half. Those in favour relish the absurd, over the top nature that rewards the player with bombastic visuals whilst others simply dismiss the game as mindless flailing that simply takes zero skill to play. Honestly? I’m on the fence in regards to later games; however in playing Marvel vs Capcom: Origins I discovered a great slice of fighting game history that passed me by. It’s incredibly easy to see how Marvel vs Capcom and Marvel Super Heroes laid down the blueprints for this series of over the top fighting games as both these games hold the purest form of nonsense that the Marvel vs Capcom series is so well known for." - Gregor Garden, Parable
While Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes may not have invented the cross-tag fighting platform (that honor would go to X-Men vs. Street Fighter, which released years before), it certainly solidified it, adding a smorgasbord of new characters from both the Marvel and Capcom universes to duke it out in high-flying fashion, with a number of powerful moves and super techniques that would leave opponents in the dust.
You can't make everyone happy, but there are definitely a few heroes and villains who really should be in Marvel vs. Capcom.
Yeah it's really strange that they didn't use any of their Netflix characters. Banking their cinematic properties seems to be a main focus of the suits anyway. Why leave them out? Both companies have a ridiculous amount of characters to come out with a roster so uninspired. Im having fun for what it is but it still makes you wonder who's making these decisions.
MvC:I has the most underwhelming roster in the series.
So much potential for characters that could've been unexpected gone to waste.
The main reason I didn't buy capcom marvel infinite is because it doesn't have a combo breaker..
A look back at the Marvel vs Capcom series and the evolution of pixel art to 3D.
It's just a pity the magic that Capcom captured in the '90s with their hand-drawn sprites has been lost to generic, plasticky 3D models. Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite is fun, but that world-mashing graphical charm just isn't the same.
For once can we like just let a franchise change without holding it to nostalgia?
