Tastsunoko and Marvel 3 were my first fighting games. Love them to death, too many good memories to count.

MvC3 had such an awesome art style it makes me that much more aggravated about the bland artistic direction MvC:I went with

Marvel 3 should have kept Morrigan's original Darkstalkers sprite, you know, for continuity.

Somehow, I remember Mega Man's fanbase being furious that the Blue Bomber wasn't in the game, but Rocket Raccoon was. And this is before the MCU films made Rocket a household name, so you couldn't blame them in that respect. Actually, I typed that before the mention of "Ultimate," so it was that version they were mumbling about.

I still prefer the comic book style of the 90’s games.

Man I love this game. I spent a chunk of my life exclusively playing MvC3 and Ultimate MvC3. Going to tiny local tournaments and joining online communities. I ran a Taskmaster, Haggar, and Dormammu team in both versions. This is the game that truly got Maximillian’s KZfaq channel started too.

I love MVC3, the only thing that still stings to me was the fact that Ultimate launched in less than a year after Vanilla MVC and was not and expansion pack or even DLC

Ultimate Marvel Alliance 3 feels like a marvel ofshoot of mvsc3 with almost the same voice actors,heck even Wolverine screams his Berserker barrage attack.

The FGC loves this game still 👍🏽 not MvC2 but it does received a lot of love. We got some hype Evo moments outta it for a few years. Game was solid

I couldn't bring myself to play 3 or infinite after growing up with the masterful progression of the series culminating with MvC2. Sad.

I remember seeing a demo for this at Comic-Con and hearing the wisecracks from Deadpool during gameplay. This appearance did wonders in getting people to discover and want more from the Merc with a mouth.

Viewtiful Joe is such a perfect addition to the Marvel vs Capcom series, idk why they’d ever dare dropping him in MvC:I

The plan for MvC3 was to fix some of the bugs in MvC2 and add 50 more characters for a complete game. But it didn't work out that way.

I still play this game on my PS4. It is truly awesome.

I personally disliked the roster cuts, especially Venom and Cyclops being cut.

This is a great way to cover the fighting games for people that want to get more of a product perspective, and has been great since the beginning... I only wonder when will be MK's turn ... Thank you for all the great content

Part of me wishes that, before all of Marvel versus all of Capcom, we had received a few more distinct groups versus each other. Like, say, Darkstalkers Vs. Marvel Horror. EDIT: Correction, Marvel Vs. Capcom (Horror Edition). No sense leaving out Capcom's other suitable franchises.

didn't mention anything about how when you played in online lobbys and were spectating waiting for your turn you just watched 2 little cards moving and health bars going down lol

Speaking of *Capcom,* i wonder when they are going to do a new _CAPTAIN COMANDO_ game!

Been anticipating this video for a while. You’re always worth the wait Top Hat! Agreed that Haggar has been grossly underused. Also, that Ghosts ‘n Goblins remix was great.

Loved Marvel vs Capcom 1 2 & 3. Loved playing as Zero in M vs C 3.

I don't know why Capcom didn't bring back Megaman and Captain Commando for this game and some of the past characters were killed in the canon according to a poster found on one of the stages.

Aw man, I LOVED MvC on my Dreamcast back in the day. Or was it MvC2? I really can't remember. Excellent upload as always tho mate. Yeeaaahhhh!!!

Much like Akuma was like a testing thing Capcom did with adding him to their X-Men game. I think Bandai Namco is doing the same thing with Akuma on Tekken 7....see if it gathers further interest and demand for ‘Tekken x Street Fighter’

Super 😃!!! Thanks for this breakdown. It’s cool to see something redeeming about this game - especially after Guru Larry rightly pointed out that Marvel held back key characters as not to plug Sony and Fox who had rights to the characters.

The sprite work from the original run has my heart. MvC3 was ok but I loved the prequels. I was looking for that same passion with UMvC3 but it never materialized. Arc System Works should make the next game if it ever gets made

I'll never forget the first time I saw the trailer on my PSP. I downloaded the trailer from wifi at my hotel job. I was super hype for that game even though I was poor. I remember I bought the game used and I played the ever living crap out of it. I remember me and my friends played and loved it a lot.

Once this version came out I was super excited ,badass a new mvc3 I even took the gigantic banner from work ,but as soon as I started playing, it was different ,for me it was those weird control scheme ,for years I was use to those 2 punches and 2 kicks ,mvc2 same concept not too different,now those 2 games are just used as backgrounds for my action figures the one with ghost rider still has it's cellophane wrapper on it

Featuring Morigan from Gameboy Color! Yeeeaaahhhhhh!

umvc3 is the game i like most from the versus series, with very little changes in that game it would be played to this day in big stages, pretty much taking away infinites and nerfing x-factor as much modders had done already, i know its still be played, but not as it was before infinite, i dont hate infinite by any means, but its killed umvc3 and itself, and we are pretty much without a mahvel game since then. lets hope they will announce another one at Evo.

I love 3 but I feel more characters should have been included like 2 have 56 characters a record in the fighting game genre back in the day like have that amount of characters Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was great to they both better than Infinite.

It is always a pleasure to watch your videos, mate! I really love both your contents and your English accent, it really helps me as a comprehension exercise! Keep up the good work!

It feels like you're going to go in the Halls of Video Game History as a Chronicler of Fighters. I like this vid you gave me more outside info.

Can you go over Marvel Nemesis and Justice League Task Force

Unfortunately, the old die-hards mostly wanted MvC2-2. Fortunately, MvC3 was still good. (could have done without X-factor tho)

Akuma, Dante & Viewtiful Joe was my go to team

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was a cool game but it still did not compare to Marvel vs. Capcom 2 that one was just too phenomenal.

Matter of fact, Capcom should release an anniversary collection on steam, xbox, and playstation that includes all the 2D crossover fighting games they've made over the years. I'll pay $60 for that with no hesitation.

It's a great game with an amazing roster, but doesn't have the fluidity and charm of the older titles.

Can you make a video about Primal Rage? It would be cool to se renewed interest in this forgotten game.

After reading your question in the thumbnail I have to ask: “Is this a trick question”? Lol 😂

UMVC introduced me to the FGC, nothing will ever top this, the passion, the time, the time I've spent in this game will be forever cherished by me

As someone who grew up on SFII, then lived for Xmen vs Street Fighter, UMvC3 is my favorite and I've poured way more time into it than any other fighter

Took me forever to get used to the control scheme of MvC3 after playing 2 for years.

Phoenix the most powerful character in the game

I still love this game. I just can’t play it for shit. I actually like to play arcade mode because people are just too good to play against. I like doing combos but the loops and DHC glitch shit irks me to no end. Watching people play this game is very good though.

Love the content, and can't wait for the Ultimate version review.😎

Great vid! Only critique is background music is a tad too loud but great stuff especially that rascal Teddy Long 🧸

I remember counting down the days when this game was released first... I had been waiting so long as a kid. I played MvC 2 so much in my early teens, getting MvC3 was like a home coming... and the remind "I wanna take you for a ride" was great...that being said, the art design always was a big off for me...and then by MvC Infinite...well yea..I was checked out with that mess...

3 I feel is a guilty pleasure

It's still awesome, INFINITELY better than the sequel ;) Plus, I wreck house with Wright, Haggar, and West (The Law, The Government, The Media)

I remember how upset people were getting when MVC3 and UMVC3 were coming out. Nevermind the lack of Mega Man, people hated pretty much any character they knew nothing about and that was usually towards Marvel’s side. That’s wild in hindsight because you have a character like Rocket Racoon who was one of the most hated additions to UMVC3 because people had no idea who he was and now he’s one of Marvel’s most iconic characters. Funny how these things work out.

mavel vs capcom 3 was definitely the most memorable of all the arcade games for me.

tatsunoko vs capcom was the last vs. game i fully enjoyed in terms of content. i still love the visual style(especially in the trailers and the beautiful movie-esque credits for vanilla mvc3),the great roster of characters(that while couldve been bigger dlc-wise still had a variety of capcoms history and didnt get rid of characters while keeping disliked picks like infinite.) and the dedication to give all the capcom characters rather good voice acting.(the darkstalkers characters,mike haggar which i like more than his voice in the street fighter 5 trailers,viewtiful joe,tron bonne, and arthur.)but my problem with mvc3 is it was kinda overhyped in some areas like umvc3 version being released that while having some charm(like the galactus mode being a reference to the onslaught and apocalypse cheats in previous games.) really felt like it couldve been just an update or had modes like a story mode(that was in development for the game and hyped in the trailers and a planned comic book line really giving the feel of something big to be added to the game only for it to be a run of the mill arcade mode with no kind of minigames/extra features and that lame as hell heroes and heralds mode that can basically be summed up as collect cards to see "hey check out this character that shouldve been in this game or in a story mode with how much is being put in",i can understand the reasoning why umvc3 exist but i do feel they couldve taken the time to add a bit more.)that had me a bit letdown on the game upon doing everything and kinda would say marvel vs capcom 1 is still my favorite of the 3(2 is very unbalanced,its stages are lacking with a really lame/cheap final boss that comes out of nowhere,its kinda bare bones outside of its roster since its arcade mode only has one ending making me question why not make a story mode or cut out arcade mode completely,i dont like its music with a few exceptions, and the roster while having good picks like b.b hood,sakura,hayato,tron bonne,cable, and servbot is overrated as there were alot of clones or just not good characters/waste of space like bone claw wolverine. i did like its original characters like sonson 3,amingo and ruby heart who was originally a darkstalkers character.). i really hope the next vs. game has a better roster(that takes advantage of capcom series we havent seen like breath of fire,asuras wrath,tech romancer,power stone,dino crisis,gotcha force,rival schools,zack and wiki, red earth,star gladiator and god hand instead of only characters that showed up in mvc3 with the only new ones being x series characters that should've been in mvc3,jedah and a random monster hunter.) and better modes(like a story mode that takes advantage of the crossover while having fun with the interactions like mvc3 and 1 did.)

I love MvsC3. Great game. Great fun. I hope capcom sort their act out with this series. Infinite was a great game to play but felt Un loved and a missed opportunity of a rosta

Top Hat Gaming Man You Must Really Love Teddy Long. Cause you Add him to your Videos a lot. LOL!!!

Personally I love both MVC2 and MVC3. They each bring something different but equally awesome imo

I'd compare UMVC3 to SSBB, I love the game and casuals love the game, but the competitive side of me and others prefer SSBM and MVC2. Great video!

I love this game a lot because I’m a huge marvel fan and I always wanted to play a fighting game with marvel characters so I thought this was the perfect game for me. I still play it on Ps4. I also love this game a lot because all the colors in this game are references to real costumes in the marvel universe, some are color inspired and some represent the actual costumes. I hope they give us a MVC4 next year.

I think mvc3 was good but wasn’t the greatest but the introduction to new wanted characters was a warm welcome to stay around beside Phoenix max level X factor

Marvel vs capcom 2 was the best game for me in terms of gameplay. I think it was the perfect balance of simple yet in depth. I definitely enjoyed the player roster from ultimate more, but just wish they went with a different art style. In execution it’s not bad, definitely better than copying and pasting sprites, I mean seeing a new sprite for Morrigan, thank god lol. But I can see why they went this way, a lot of characters were never hand drawn in their games, like viewtiful joe or Dante. But would’ve loved to have seen that.

This was the game that got me into fighting games in the first place after this got street fighter 4 and the my all time fav soul caliber 2 on gcn

11:00 Wait, when were the Marvel characters ever voiced by Japanese actors?

I actually prefer this over MvC2, and this is coming from someone who had the fortune to play both games at launch days.

I love fighting game Thursday, do ultimate MvC next

Whens guilty gear?

I can't wait for that Marvel vs Capcom infinite video

Yesssss!

Very detailed analysis

You should do a video on Tag Tournament 2 !

Big fan of Marvel 2, Marvel 3 I was really excited about when I bought it on day 1, but just didn't really get into it... I didn't like the 3D characters and that dark cel shaded shadow effect they add onto the characters... The game just felt ugly to me. :/

I honestly never consider MvC series as a Hardcore Fighting Game series to begin with, it feels more in-line with the kind of Smash Bros. Well not exactly as simple, but almost. But yeah, I’m with you, MvC 3 doesn’t look as charming as previous entries, kinda wish that they could collaborate with Arc System Works. But overall, last gen was surprisingly wonderful for Fighting Game genre. SF IV, MK IX, GG Xrd, MvC 3, SF x T, TTT 2, Injustice, KOF XIII, DOA 5, etc. Aside from better graphics, this gen fighting games couldn’t even come close in “WOW” factor, just a few improvements here - & - there IMHO. Next, let’s 81tch about the god-awful MvC: Infinite shall we? 🤣

A lot of consumers complained about Capcom vs Marvel 3 not enough players and within a year,like all Capcom games an upgraded sequel. A slight edge for MvC2 cable as it's been around longer.

Everyone wants a MVC4 with every character from the series past and present with the same ability to do swag combos, plink,wave dashing, infinite’s and open ended combo systems and layered mix ups. MVC2 needs a HDR remake to rebalance all the low tiers with Hypers that hit and work that are usable and or they can actually combo into. The God tiers everyone wants left alone. The games been balanced by the players and they know what characters don’t work or are unusable. RYU and Roll along with Chun lee are unplayable really along with even Shuma. The games been “balanced” by how it’s played and you simply just need to ask the pros what the low and mid tiers need. The game doesn’t need to change that much and my only issue I’ve ever said was Anti air assists have far far to much invisibility. They should be able to be punished a bit easier just like in UMVC or even DBZ.

Hey man SF III Third Strike is a great game with a dope soundtrack to boot

Computer Man always getting a shoutout lol

You forgot to mention how Capcom took out some characters that were supposed to be playable in the game but we're cut our because Capcom tried to do dlc ripoffs. Such characters include Frank West and Dr. Octopus. The fact that their are leaks that strongly indicate that their is extra data in the game for such characters. Not to mention how fans of the series were really pissed about it aside from those new to the franchise and those of the fgc community.

Since we gotta Mario 3D Allstars, Capcom should give us Marvel vs Capcom 1, 2, 3 Ultimate on Switch. I'd buy it. Who else would buy it?

I'd say yes, it lived to the hype. It was fairly accessible for the time, and a good roster with a mix of fan favs, MCU related newcomers (without making them MCU knockoff versions) and fun weird additions like MODOK. I was shocked Shuma Gorath was included. I do wish it lasted longer with seasons of DLC, but that wasn't really the style of releasing fighting games DLC yet for fighting games. If we got later DLC seasons with heavily requested characters like Mega Man (or X), Jin Saotome, Venom, etc it would likely turn into GOAT. I didn't like the heavy shading style at first, but would take it any day over the bland style we got for Infinite. My biggest gripe was the Capcom side. Both uMvC3 and Infinite had boring rosters for the capcom side. We didn't see a lot of obscure characters, or really wacky and colourful ones. There's some good ones like Viewtiful Joe, Amatersau, Tron Bonne, Arthur & Red Areemer, but I was hoping for more WTF and obscure characters like they did for MvC1.

Great breakdown.

This game's meta grew into "50/50 mix up followed by death" the game. SF4 had the same problem. For some reason Capcom in this era had a weird thing where they would simplify certain aspects of their fighters but then add dumb shit like characters having 50/50 vortexes that were difficult to get out of. MvC3 was made to intentionally be broken and easy on the execution side. But it got to the point to where whoever's touched their opponent first would wipeout their lifebar.

2 still the greatest of the franchise

MVC3 was my childhood!

I, like my fellow fighters, enjoyed MVC3! Aside from alot of keep away strategies competeive players implement, its still fantastic! There is, however, a few issues with it: Great new cast additions-but low character count. Fantastic music-but couldn't we get the original music as a option? DLC remained DLC without no updates or patches.

umvc is one of my favs i like it on my vita and ps3. street fighter x tekken is also great. the fighting game i play most is street fighter 2 turbo on vita in capcom compelation .. greetings from vienna

MvC3 normal configuration is a 6 button game. L, M, H, launch, assist 1, assist 2

This version of Marvel Vs Capcom 3 has the same amount of characters as its sequel: MVCI and yet its roster in 2011 is way better

My first fighting game was mvc1 and I'm 9 (about to be ten) YEARS OLD

Both Tatsunoko Vs Capcom and this should have had an Advanced Mode that made it at least the MVC2 controls if not the full 6 button Layout. Bought this game and it collected dust.

Spiderman? It's not his last name, he is a Spider... Man!!! who got the reference??

It's not the best fighting game but I still enjoy playing it🎮

mvc3 has a four button control or is S not considered a button????

I got the vanilla release at launch , not a bad game but the on disc DLC and announcing Ultimate months after release soured my taste, I later got the ps4 version and I like it, it's a lot of fun and much better than mvc infinite

That moment when you realize the marvel side was lowkey foreshadowing the future movies and series.

They could have kept MvC2 2d, added more frames, _expanded_ the roster, and not changed the combo system and it would have been perfect. Instead they gave all characters the same launch combo so it's a race to execute the combo first to get a launch, not to mention the removal of several favorites...

If/When a MVC4 happens. X-23 and B.B.Hood better make the cut.

It's a good game but MvsC2 is the best one, hands down. I have all 4 ( MvsC, MvsC2, Ultimate MvsC3, MvsC Ultimate). Graphics aren't everything. The original 2D titles had a lot more charm and personality and the gameplay was definitely superior (which matters most). If they copy the original essence and formula and pair that with updated graphics, the biggest roster yet including all the fighters from the series so far, and maybe even a 2D sprite classic mode to appeal to early players' sense of nostalgia, they'll make a killing and reinvigorate the franchise.

Can u also do a video on y street fighter X tekken failed?

The button layout killed it for me, which was very disappointing to me. My first vs. Capcom game I couldn't get how to play it. Idk if it was because the time it came out I didn't have the time to put in to learn the buttons. It took me some time going from Marvel vs. Capcom to MvC2, but I got it.

I have this on Ps Vita.
