wtf did they do to that MvC game to make it bomb so hard?
1) ugly as hell
2) terrible marketing that actively insulted both the playerbase and the casual fans ("Nobody knows who wolverine or magneto is")
3) terrible roster (90% of the roster is recycled from marvel vs capcom 3, what few new characters there aren't huge pulls for the most part, missing popular and prominent MCU characters like Loki, Star Lord, Black Widow)
4) Incredibly low effort (Spider-Man has a super where the Green Goblin attacks him and he redirects the attack into the enemy, instead of actually modeling or animating the green goblin or even giving him a voice spider man just says GREEN GOBLIN!? and then some bombs teleport on screen)
5) the community outreach guy is a racist who yells at black people about fried chicken
6) multiple playtesters tried to use their months with the game to win tournaments, got eliminated, then called the game poo poo
7) the first few tournaments they ran all had massive issues with both getting people to even show up and with the organizational side of things
8) A marketing guy accidentally leaked a video meant for shareholders that talked about the fighting game community in super cynical terms, poo poo like "We can exploit EVO in order to drive up revenue" and drew a direct line of "fighting game players are free advertisement for our products"
9) The game launched with tons of incredibly easy to execute infinites that basically made the game unplayable in a competitive sense ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olEbegl8Zxw ) until they were patched out
10) dragon ball fighterz launched its beta the day it released, and that game is basically doing everything right in comparison
11) characters already in the game's story mode and clearly modeled and completed (black panther, monster hunter) were DLC, when the game already had a barebones, lazy roster
12) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7WOOxs1RVY

MVC also fits in with Lawbreakers, Brink, and Bad Rats in that none of them are on the EVO lineup.

Put no money into it, made it ugly as hell and, most importantly, didn't use any of the characters on the Fox side of MCU so no X-Men or Deadpool (or Fantastic Four but no one really cared about them)

While people don't like the title characters of F4 that also means Marvel video games miss out on Doom and Surfer that people do like.

And of course best character Moleman.

capcom: we are glad to announce that after much demand from fans, we are now adding a new character from the fantastic four to marvel vs capcom

*adds the one woman from the fantastic four cartoon who inexplicably had a story arc around her having human torch powers for no reason for like three episodes*

That is the character Nova, one of the lamest heralds of Galactus.

No not the cool rocket man space cop with the ridiculous bucket helmet

Gonna go ahead and say that it’s super sad that no one likes the Fantastic Four anymore just because they had like three terrible movies, because they have a giant cosmic man who eats planets and an insane foreign dictator science magician in creepy armor as villains and those guys rule

Man I wonder how much of the younger generation that hasn't played Mario 3 just got completely stumped on what to do here

This chapter has been a ton of fun platforming wise compared to the hotel, but I'm at a point where the path diverges into like 8 different directions and there's no clear indicator of which one is the "main" path and I want to find all the side strawberries first before continuing.

This chapter has a lot of very fast platforming which is a ton of fun though

edit: Also does the thing you collect here do... anything?

Gosh dang Golden Ridge is so pretty

When you're at branches, just remember that you're climbing a mountain and so generally want to move upwards

Also hearts are needed to unlock various parts of Chapter 8

Actually they should add Magneto from that episode of the cartoon where he shows up in his flying metal car that he uses to taunt people who drive regular cars and then he goes and takes over the fantastic four so that he can taunt them with his magnetism powers and then reed tricks him into thinking his powers have disappeared by pointing a wooden gun at him and magneto panicking when his magnetism didn't work on the wood

Hmmm so this heart, which is blue, I got from the normal stage, but the other heart I have, a pink/red one I got from the first chapter’s B-Side. Are there B-Side and regular hearts or do some B-Sides award something else?

It is getting trashed in recent reviews for having no players. I guess this is an unrecoverable downward spiral?

thats what happens when you make super derivative non-f2p game in a market that has been completely saturated without doing a single new or interesting thing. How many loving 5 v 5 fps games exist right now? Does anyone really think they'll unseat overwatch/counterstrike/COD?

e: the best metal gear is tied for MGS1, MGS2 or MGS3. I cannot decide. I love them all.

Every stage has a heart. A stages are hidden and B stages are at the end. You'll need them all to play all the levels.

Frame rate on mgs3 is pretty spotty too. I mean, it's still a top 5 game all time so it's no worries
