I don’t think those teams make sense at all.
Marvel vs. Capcom should be about the two universes against each other. It shouldn’t be heroes vs. villains. That’s fucking boring.
Why not?
-Ryu is the face of SF, Cyclops is the leader of the X-Men
-Ken is arrogant as fuck, Gambit is arrogant as fuck
-Akuma loves to stay to himself and fight, Wolverine loves to do his own thing and slice people up. Both are also quite short tempered
-Cammy is confused and trying to understand who she is, Rogue struggles with finding a way to live life as a mutant
-Dhalsim is all about enlightenment, Sabretooth just wants to tear through people. Weird combination here.
-Charlie is a soldier fighting against Bison and Shadaloo, Storm is a co-leader of the X-Men constantly fighting against Magneto
-Zangief is a brute, Juggernaut is a brute
-Bison wants to flood the world with Psycho Power, Magneto wants to create a world filled with mutants only
These teams make perfect sense given what their stories were based on back in the day.
I mean the teams would make more sense if they were based on their own universes. Ryu teams up with Ken, Cammy teams up with Chun-Li, etc.
Oh, okay. I think they just wanted a reason to make them team up since that was the first VS game.
I rather see Marvel/Capcom team-ups personally. How characters from different universes interact can be a lot of fun. Who doesn’t want to see Tony try to resist Morrigan?
Agree, The first crossover is trying to make a plot that is nice the second game has a plot but some teams have poor pairing maybe be because of the selection of casting from marvel decision? MvSF marvel side have weird casting. The third crossover MVC has definitive story from the previous it tries to innovate efforts ahead of the first and second crossover from new stages, new cast, new sprites, additional movesets and new ost. Mvc2 was kinda rushed down and felt a complilation.
Yeah, the plot early on was that various Marvel/Capcom characters were mysteriously disappearing. This is why they all decided to join together and find out. In Apocalypse’s stage, you can see several different characters (Dan, Blanka, Psylocke, Forge, Beast, etc) trapped in containment glasses. The plot was the same in Marvel Super Heroes Vs Street Fighter. Only difference was Apocalypse unleashed Cyber Akuma on you.
With Infinite, if Sigma and Ultron really are a team, I could see them both trying to wreak havoc on both universes. A combination of Sigma’s virus and Ultron’s intellect would be a serious problem if written well.
I hope it takes place in a universe where Marvel & Capcom coexist. I don’t want some cliche universes combining shit.
Could be an interesting way to do it, though not sure if they’ll do that due to X’s stage. When I was a kid, I wanted to make VS series fanfics, but the SF universe and Marvel were already co-existing by default, but more out there things like Darkstalkers, Viewtiful Joe and Mega Man could be explained away as alt-universe shenanigans, time travel, etc.
People should stop using this thread to post character requests/wishlists.
Darkstalkers isn’t too out there, Marvel already has a supernatural side including vampires, werewolves, Frankenstein, etc… The Marvel Universe is also high tech enough for Dr Light to create Mega Man in the modern day. Joe would be a bit harder to explain, mutant or inhuman maybe?
How are they going to explain this universe’s Spidey dyin’
You talking about the Superior Spidey arc? They don’t have to explain that, just like they don’t have to explain Nova dying. They’re back now and that’s all that matters.
Character deaths in comics mean as much as they do in Dragon Ball - authors can (and will) bring those who died back with no consequences, either via some bullshit excuse, a dumb plot twist, or just by starting a new arc/series
Worked for decades, won’t stop working now
Dude MVCi marvel side doesn’t need to compromised to the current events from the one and the many different parallel universe of the comics. It can stay fresh like any new universe like the movie verse and the disney infinity toys.
In Final Fantasy Dissidia characters were invited by Cosmos and Chaos in there various well being and not a status based from the conclusion or their current fate of their original universe or game.
Thats how MVC2 is with Ruby Heart that gathering heroes from marvel and capcom to face the threat known as the abyss. SFxTekken used Ingrid for the relation towards the pandora. Even before the popular crossover-verse there are the likes of Pure from Capcom world that have a mission to save Capcom Kingdom.
There are many characters that can be a the Madam web of their individual Capcom universe within their game like Adult Anita or Jedah for VampireSavior and Tessa for Warzard/Red Earth. Capcom does not need to complicate things by using other Marvel characters. Capcom just need to be resourceful, creative to make great plot by using their own characters that deal with parallel, supernatural and reality.
With Darkstalkers, I’m more talking about the Makai kingdom which is in a separate realm even in DS. Marvel’s got supernatural stuff that’s native to their world and stuff that invades, but I was thinking of sticking with the closed off realm.
With Mega Man, while Marvel has hitech stuff, the overall world still has modern elements that we see in our lives. The whole of Marvel hasn’t suddenly adopted clean energy and started taking hovercars to work. Mega Man’s aesthetic, with robots as an active part of everyday society and even the architecture being advanced just would feel right being in the near near future of a merged universe than what’s already in the everyday Marvel and SF universes. Marvel still has everyday citizens using diesel cars and there are still slum neighborhoods. To me, it doesn’t mesh as well with the clean future look of the Mega Man games, though if they wanted to make it fit, it wouldn’t as difficult, though X would need to be from a further down timeline.
With Joe, he should be from a parallel world since all his cast mates look like him (the big heads, the unique shading style). Reworking him into something he’s not, like a mutant or an inhuman is just unnecessary and messes with his identity.
With the original idea discussed, SF could easily be placed in a Marvel Universe setting without having to alter the game’s identity. Timelines and the way certain things may be shifted around, but we wouldn’t have to change the cast into mutants ,etc.
I really wish it confirms retcon (just an AU) or saved by Akuma while still in KO state
Marvel has it’s fourth wall breakers. Marvel got characters like Deadpool and She-Hulk who commonly do so. Joe can fit right in with them.
Yeah, you’re going to be disappointed. Since the first stage that has been revealed is the Highway from Mega Man X 1 combined with Asgard.
No, he’s talking about Spider-Verse, where it was showed that the MvC Spidey was killed by the inherentors.
Though MvC:I is a reboot, so it probably doesn’t matter. It’s a new continuity.
