There is $30,000 dollars on the line, $5,000 dollars for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, $5,000 dollars for BlazBlue Continuum Shift, and $20,000 for Super Street Fighter 4. The biggest names in fighting games are planned to appear and join the fray. Tournament Legacy hopes that people traveling far and wide to attend E3, would just take a couple more days to relax in the City of Angels to join the frenzy at this amazing fighting game event, Revelations. A way to level up for EVO, tons of money at stake, and the fiercest competition? Only the craziest would pass this up.
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?
Sweet.
I guess The Beast will be making his appearance on the SF tourney, I would be honored if I ever get to play against him but considering I'm so far away it's not gonna be possible.
