![]() ![]() Personally I was never big into extra modes in fighting games, just give me a good game and I’ll make my own fun with friends in versus mode. That’s about it for the modes in the game so there’s not much else to do besides try to 100% the gallery/mission mode (good luck) and play online. This is pretty helpful in just going in, trying out a character, and then testing them out later in training mode but other than that don’t expect anything amazing from it. The training mode does offer some nice tweaks to test various situations and even allows you to see how the game would be played on various internet connections.Ĭapcom decided to add a nifty Mission Mode where you’ll have 10 missions per character to learn various moves and combos specific for that character. You’ve also got versus where you’ll trash talk with your friends and the training mode to test your stuff against either a mobile or paralyzed bot. Each character gets their own comic book styled ending with many of them being quite humorous and even featuring cameos from characters not in the game such as Ghost Rider and Phoenix Wright. Of course the first thing most people are going to do is jump straight into the Arcade mode which is where you’ll fight through 6 waves and then face off against a boss. Oh yea did I mention they added a fuck-awesome simple mode for people who suck hard at fighting games? Hell yea now you can pull off some sweet combos by just pressing a single button. Now anyone can launch their enemies into the air by simply hitting the launcher button, then of course jumping up and following that up with some sweet combos. The most significant change (in my infinitely flawed opinion) is the change to moving each characters launcher to a single ‘Special’ button. There are some slight gameplay changes such as having simply just a Light, Medium, & Heavy attack button plus the two assist buttons. The game is still the same button-mash fest the previous games were known for but don’t expect an easy ride to the top of the leader boards because players who take the time to actually learn how to play will be able to slap you around silly. This time we’ve got a fantastic cast of 36 characters that range from series favorites like Wolverine and Ryu to newcomers such as Viewtiful Joe and Super Skrull. Go watch some old tournaments as you’ll see what I mean.After 10 years the wait is finally over with Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds finally gracing us with it’s presence. It’s just pure gaming and nerd joy distilled into a concentrated package. Watching Virgil kill Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, and Nemesis in less than three minutes is something to behold. It’s a parade of colors, combos, and trade-offs. It genuinely provides some of the most insane competition you might ever see. There was a massive and lively competitive scene that managed to keep bringing the game to the biggest stages like EVO, even as newer games were coming out.Īnyone who’s seen a match of this game understands why – it’s a thrill to watch. MvC3 continued on for years after its initial launch, being a main staying point for professional fighting games for nearly eight years. What’s really amazing however is the game’s life after its release. Critics generally received the game well, and it gained a huge player base right at launch. It was also a gorgeous-looking title at the time, as vibrant and energetic-looking as a comic strip. The gameplay was similar, yet added much more to the table like the introduction of the love/hated “X-Factor”. MvC3 featured a huge roster of characters that spread across the fiction of both companies. We now know that this delay was because of several legal issues between Capcom and Marvel for the rights to use the properties. This was a huge disappointment for the series’ many loyal fans who still kept the first two games alive over the hiatus. However the franchise seemed for all intents and purposes dead, at least in Capcom’s eyes. It was strange because the games seemingly did well for the company. The next ten years went by without a single word from Capcom on a new entry in the series. Then it disappeared off the face of the Earth. Both were well-received and garnered a huge following of both casual and professional players. This was a massive one-two punch, with the sequel improving on the first in several crucial ways. The first two games came out fairly close to each other with Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Heroes coming out in 1998 and Marvel vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes releasing in 2000. This superhero fighter became one of the major pillars in Capcom’s franchises and produced classic fighting games still played to this day.
