Review: Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is Great For Tournament Players, But Not Quite For Casuals

In this new age of fighting games, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was easily the most anticipated fighter to be released next to Street Fighter 4 -- though most will agree that it felt like an unfinished product. For everything that it did right -- silky smooth gameplay, amazing graphics, and endless team combinations -- over the course of a few months it became quickly apparent that there was much that needed to be fixed and adjusted.

Plagued with sub-par online modes and netcode; extremely overpowered characters such as Phoenix, Wolverine, and Akuma ; and not to mention glitches that allowed players to kill their opponent's character in a single combo -- most couldn't help but feel a bit cheated when they learned an Ultimate version of the game was right around the corner. I think I'm not alone in saying that after 10 years of waiting for a new entry into the series after Marvel vs. Capcom 2, having to wait an extra six to nine months for a "complete" version of the game would be totally bearable for most.
