The recent revival of the Street Fighter franchise has led to something of rebirth of the fighter genre. With top titles such as Super Street Fighter 4 and BlazBlue does Capcom’s latest offering Marvel vs. Capcom 3 have what it takes to hold its own?
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has returned bringing with it a sense of anticipation and expectation, pitting Marvel heroes and villains against characters from Capcoms famous franchises. The series may be seen by some as mere fan service but to those who have tasted the fruits of the ass kicking tree Marvel vs Capcom 3 is big news.
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?
