He said the Capcom side, not the Marvel side. It's clear to most of us that Marvel Entertainment's hands were all over the Marvel side of the roster.

Gotcha. I missed that part of it. I imagine that is about right. I doubt Marvel gives two shits who make it on to the Capcom side. That side of the roster is completely on Capcom.

Then again, I can't imagine that Marvel would have been okay with those graphics if they had any say in it at all, so I think Capcom has a lot to answer for.

Marvel takes the blame for the lack of the X-Men, which is a huge blunder, but everything else is on Capcom.

Not salty, although I love salty. What I mean it's I've been there done that. It's not the first time that a Capcom fighting game was deemed a flop when it wasn't, it happened with SFV two years ago. MvCI sales wouldn't never catch on in Japan because Japan love them handhelds and most of all Pokemon. Obviously MvC would sell way less than that one there.

oh boy, another "its pokemon it sells" post

almost as bad as "switch has no games ergo it sells"

 

[oneida]

I doubt that for example, the new Arc Systems DBZ game will have a stronger online community than MvC, or even sell more than MvC, even if it might start similar or even with better sales. Capcom and Marvel simply are bigger brands when it comes to fighting games.

saving this for later

MvC:I didn't chart on it's 2nd week in Japan.

20th game sold less than 4200 copies, so MvC:I for sure did less than that.

MvC:I didn't chart on it's 2nd week in Japan.

I'm starting to wonder if it will chart in the September NPD. My guess is it will, but near the bottom.

Will it outsell FIFA's switch!?

I'll be surprised if it shows up in the top 10.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Well pretty every fighting game out there has inferior roster to MvC2 pretty much (in regards to pure numbers & probably brand recognition). Unfortunately as tech advanced, games have actually devolved, gotten more expensive, and come with less features (not across the board, but in some cases)

MvC2 was a masterpiece with over 50 characters and you could play it at your local Arcade the way God intended

Come at me bro, nothing can touch this

enjoy your 12 street fighter characters in a versus game my dude

 

[kaydigi]

Fast track some Rouge and Pyslocke dlc clothed in tight catsuits..... it’s mahvel baby.

 

[btrboyev]

Maybe this is what happens when a game is rushed, has a shitty art style and shitty licensing deals take away almost half of the roster from prior games for no god damned reason at all.

Wow. That's catastrophically bad. I didn't expect much of anything out of MvCI in Japan, but those numbers are still so low.

Rouge

ugh

lol. You're in for some surprise.

There are also more than 12 X-men on that roster, which is 12 more X-men than MvC Infinite.

 

[Grimsen]

I'd have zero problem having a X-men vs SF expansion in MvCi.

Greatest Roster:

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

That's what happens when you are missing the X-men and get mixed reviews.

 

[FSLink]

Greatest Roster:

Yup. Great varied roster with lots of franchises represented and lots of different movesets/functions (lol).

 

[DrArchon]

I'd have zero problem having a X-men vs SF expansion in MvCi.

MvCI should get one more SF character to rep V (probably Rashid) and no more than that. We don't need a whole expansion for 1 Capcom series when so many series are completely missing.

 

[lucebuce12]

Greatest Roster:

Agreed, that truly was a fantastic roster.

SF and the Xmen are is the legacy franchises of the VS games. They need way more reps. That's just my opinion, of course.

 

[Sesha]

UMvC3's roster is up there with 3rd Strike, Smash 4, KoF11 and 14 for me.

Imagine if we got X, Gene, Nina, Gill, Miles Morales and more like originally planned. Would have been the all-time greatest roster

 

[nachum00]

None of those characters do anything for me though

 

[arevin01]

Did people ask for this game to be made? Capcom made a mistake developing this game.

 

[dragonzdogma]

Agreed, that truly was a fantastic roster.

Capcom should have just done what KoF did
and rehash the entire cast of MVC3U and add the new DLC and new characters from MVCi
keep the same MVC3U graphics - just improve them tweak and balance a few characters (like phoenix) and call it MVC4.

 

[TheDinoman]

Did people ask for this game to be made? Capcom made a mistake developing this game.

I mean...yeah. A lot of people were wanting a new Marvel vs. Capcom.

Just...not like this. It's the ultimate monkey's paw wish.

[lantus]

There is negative stigma associated with this game. Sales reflect that everywhere. Capcom dropped the ball on this one for real.

 

[DR2K]

Did people ask for this game to be made? Capcom made a mistake developing this game.

People wanted an updated UMVC3 with new characters. What we got was an updated SFXT with Capcoms losers facing off with the MCU on a shoestring budget.

 

[ZenTzen]

Greatest Roster:

Not really, yeah you have some gems and a good amount of legacy characters, but that roster could have been so much better

 

[Ricky 7]

It flopped because there's no Akuma in it, same reason SFV flopped. By the time they added him it was too late the damage was already done. I guess no X-Men inclusion had something to do with it as well but it's mainly because there's no Akuma😋
