I don't want just your movie tie-ins Marvel.

They dictated...So I'm not in the know here, what did Marvel do to sour MvC Infinite?
Itsuno is still therePoisoned waters. There's a reason we're seeing SNK crossovers with everyone except Capcom. I'd be surprised if SNK ever deals with them again. I also don't have much faith in Capcom coming close to quality of CvS2.
Definitely a misread on that one chiefI also don't see the FANBASE being willing to go back for another helping after being burned as badly as they were by Infinite.
Marvel still dictate the characters, if they don't want Cyclops for example, we won't get him. And because Marvel decide their side, Capcom may not use certain characters of theirs who are too similar.The Fox ban ended a few years ago. Plus the MCU encompasses most of Marvel at this point.

This. There are certainly non-MCU picks (MUA3 notably had Crystal and Elsa Bloodstone) but at this point the MCU covers a huge chunk of Marvel and is only increasing further.
When people shit on Infinite being MCU-centric what they're really mad at is it doing so at the X-Men's expense. And no, you don't have to make a quarter of the roster mutants to fix that.
Cutting out the slew of Mutant characters should have been an excuse to deep dive into Marvel lore.
Or at least put Kamala Khan in the game like jfc
I hate this scene. She is remembering to 1989, SFII didn't exist then and this is Champion Edition which didn't exist until even later. Plus it is wide-screen which no arcade cab was, especially SFII ones.
Also there are plenty of other 90's arcade games they could have used for this Captain Marvel shot.
Anyone else been watching old UMvC3 tournaments lately? Fuck, I don't know any other fighting game that is that fun to watch (Morrigan/Doom being the exception).
Nova was probably the deepest dive we got in MvC:I. I don't think Marvel were particularly interested in deep dives of their backlog of characters.
-Hopefully DB FighterZ success gave some clues to Capcom that the audience likes 3 vs 3 matches and cartoon/comic book graphics.
Yeah I think it's one of those Arcade 1Up cabs. Still that increases the chance that the intent was there imo.I hate this scene.

I think it's dead. Marvel killed it, and I don't see them going back to Capcom again after how badly Infinite was handled.
I also don't see the FANBASE being willing to go back for another helping after being burned as badly as they were by Infinite.
And the MCU is gonna include the X-Men & F4 soon, with the F4 being as soon as Phase 5. Hell, we already have rumors of Doctor Doom being the villain of Black Panther 2.This.

Ultimately, I still feel like Marvel Entertainment still aren't that interested in deep-dives. But funny enough, Marvel Studios is doing most of the deep-diving themselves (see Eternals). And since Koei Tecmo had the freedom to choose for MUA3, perhaps Capcom may be afforded the same opportunity if they try again for a hypothetical MvC4.Nova was probably the deepest dive we got in MvC:I. I don't think Marvel were particularly interested in deep dives of their backlog of characters.
On paper, Capcom going it alone with their characters & no corporate meddling would be a slam dunk idea. The problem is that, as I've said many times, it'd be a hard sell for people besides us. Street Fighter is a strong brand. Resident Evil is a strong brand. Monster Hunter is a strong brand. Mega Man is a strong brand. Devil May Cry is a strong brand. Capcom is not a strong brand, not in the way that Nintendo or even Sony are. Capcom definitely has the backlog of characters, but many of them have become niche. In a way, they kinda need a strong partner to team up with, be it Marvel or someone else. Otherwise, it'll probably only sell around 1.4 million tops. It'll definitely get us excited, but not the average joe. If Capcom goes this route, my suggestions would be to either...Hope not, screw Marvel, Capcom has enough characters to stand on their own and then some. Bring on "Capcom VS" "Capcom Slugfest" or whatever, Fighter Jam if you must.
Capcom would have the creative freedom to do what they want. No infinity stone or whatever MCU is shooting for next.
They dictated...
...& probably other stuff we don't know about. That's not to say that Capcom is free of blame, but Marvel didn't help matters.
- The art style
- The Marvel side of the roster (especially with the X-Men/F4 ban)
- The themes for the Marvel characters
I don't know who at Marvel/Capcom went to bat to keep Nova in Infinite but bless their soulNova was probably the deepest dive we got in MvC:I. I don't think Marvel were particularly interested in deep dives of their backlog of characters.
wow i am actually surprised that ive not seen this, though to me it implies curleh mustache umvc3 might come back as an attempt to revitalize
"Everyone from MvC3 Onwards is Here" would actually be more plausible.

The former idea would lean on the strength of one of the individual brands, while the latter would lower the success threshold for the game.
- Name the game "Street Fighter vs. Capcom" or something along those lines.
- Make Capcom All-Stars a budget release similar to Killer Instinct & keep adding content to it as time goes on.
Mockery over gaffes and criticisms plagued Infinite's pre-release hype campaign, there's no way Capcom didn't take notice of that. When long-time fans are piling on poor feedback, then something was poorly executed, for sure. It's quite possible Capcom knew very well was was wrong, but their hands were tied because Marvel.It all depends on if Capcom judges Infinite was executed poorly or if the low sales are synonym of public disintetest. The latter would be unfortunate because the mess up is 100% their fault.
