    Marvelous Edition to the Fighter Genre

    I would like to start this out by letting everyone know that I am in no way, shape, or form a Fighter game enthusiast. I have always been terrible at Tekken, Super Street Fighter, and Dead or Alive; So I never truly got into the genre. I can easily say that with Marvel vs. Capcom 3, that has changed.
     
    The iconic characters that are provided in this game are timeless. You have everyone from X-men that you adore with the added story characters from much of Capcom's biggest hits. While I fare on the side of using mostly Marvel characters it seems, after dabbling in a couple of Capcom's, I can truly say that not only is MvC3 balanced, but all the characters are truly well made.
     
    It seems that Capcom went out of their way to give Marvel a really standing-out in this game vs. the previous titles. You have comic books on the character selection, comic-wording for mostly everything that happens, as well as a lot of fast paced "OMG" moments you usually share only in a flip-page retail comic. 
     
    The Game play and controls are extremely smooth to the point that you are pulling off moves you never thought you'd dream of before MvC3. On the Xbox 360, the original controller has a bit of a problem to where you feel that you are pulling off a move but nothing happens on screen; this is not the games fault however, just Microsoft's shotty D-pad.
     
    All in all, MvC3 is downright a great addition to the fighter genre and must-have for the fans of said genre and anyone really trying to get into Fighter games in general. It has a very arcade - yet epic feel - to it that lets new players really jump in and feel proud every single time they take down Galactus.

      Marvelous, but overwhelming 0

      Marvel VS Capcom fans have been waiting for this game for 10 years, and will be immediately familiar with all of its systems and feel right at home. But what about the newcomers such as myself?  The last time I touched a fighting game was a year (Maybe two?) back at original SFIV, and my god being used to Street Fighter pace did NOT help. If you are completely new to this series or don't know what the fighting system is like, you'll have to go into the Training mode and basically just get a feel...

      A Decade of Hype 0

      Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds(Xbox 360) by deactivated-5e4c09d3ba1b3 on February 15, 2011

      With its bright flashing colors, screen filling super moves, overwhelmingly loud sounds and infamous gigantic roster of characters, it's easy to see why Marvel vs. Capcom 2 remained a popular "money match" game for over a decade; the arcade cabinet might as well have been a giant fighting game slot machine. For some people, Capcom's decision to tone some of this insanity down a notch sounded like heresy. Ten less characters? A simpler control scheme? Are the people at Capcom complete, to quote G...
