Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

Guess what crappy blog just reached 1000 views? This one! Isn't that something? It is indeed. How will we celebrate this occasion, you ask? Why, by ending a running joke that was never funny! That's right, guess who got Marvel Vs. Capcom 3? This guy! Time to celebrate!

I managed to find myself a copy of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 at my local family video for 10$. Family Video sells all of their old rentals for 10$ each, which meant I could get the game in all of it's glory. I got the PS3 version of the game, however, I don't actually own a PS3. Talk about putting the carriage before the horse, eh? Until I get PS3, it's just going to be sitting on my shelf, next to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle. I think I'm going to be building up a collection of games I can't play. Thankfully, all is not lost; My cousin has a PS3! Until I get one of my own, I've been playing the game on there during the weekends. I also managed to learn that my Fightstick works on the PS3. I'm relieved, now I won't need to spend an extra 60$ to buy a PCB that works on PS3. It doesn't work on the 360 though as far as I believe, I guess that's just more reason not to get one. Now, onto the review!

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is basically everything I thought it was, a 4 button fighter with Marvel and Capcom characters. The combos are insane, X-Factor is overpowered, and there is button mashing. It's quite the fighting game, if I do say so myself. I don't have much I can really say, aside from it's really fun, but has a pretty steep learning curves for people who suck at it, like me.

I feel like I've been playing too much Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 recently, I've built a bit of a muscle memory for that game. It's kind of hard to get into playing the third one, I keep accidentally trying to do Marvel 2 combos, but hey, I'm enjoying myself, but I do have a few problems, but most of them are very minor. For example, one of my favorite characters from the last game, Tron Bonne, feels a lot weaker this time around. I'm also not too fond of the cut characters in the game. Most people were upset that MegaMan isn't in the game, but I myself am more upset that Gambit isn't in this one. He was my favorite character...

I'm really upset about some of the cut characters, a lot of the more unique characters are gone for more popular characters. But hey, you win some, you lose some. Either way, we got Zero! Screw MegaMan, we got Zero! And the dog from Okami! The one with the name I don't feel like trying to spell! Oh yeah, and Modok. Not sure what he's doing here. Oh, and Deadpool. Can't forget Deadpool. He has a Hyper Combo move where he takes the Hyper bar and beats your opponent with it, what's not to love?

Anyways, that's all for now. At long last, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 has been posted about. I finally have it in my hands! Now it's time to move on to better things...

...Such as Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3! This is the best version of the game, it has more characters, like Hawkeye, and Phoenix Wright! Wow! Isn't that great? I can't wait to get it!
