History YMMV / MarvelVsCapcom3

*** Worth noting that the "Heroes vs Heralds" mode is getting much warmer reception from fans than the Gems System from SF X Tekken. Why? ''It's a separate mode''.

** Pretty much any new character announcement generally caused this. But one particular spectacular example is the reveal vignette of Phoenix Wright. The excitement levels went through the roof.

** As of March 22, 2011, Sentinel's health was officially nerfed from 1.3M HP to 905K. Players worldwide celebrate out in the open!
*** Well, some of them. See the below entry for more details.
** '''{{Galactus}}''' '''[[http://kotaku.com/5850166/you-can-play-as-galactus-in-ultimate-marvel-vs-capcom-3 is now playable.]]'''
** The new [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3k5WcicY_0 "Heroes vs Heralds"]] mode, the mode the dev team was talking about that would change the way you play the game. Very similar in application to the Gems System from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' (and, to a lesser extent, System Direction from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII: Third Strike''), the mode grants various abilities via collectible cards (invisibility, immunity to projectiles, super armor for both point characters ''and'' Assists, stun from Assist attacks, cancelling specials with other specials, etc.). The highlight of these? ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Parrying.]]''

** The complaining about the new cast can basically be summed up in these [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEvh8uWrji4 two]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j8kXjB9yqc videos.]]

** The new trailer for ''[=UMvC3=]'', especially considering the leaked list of fighters appearing (or better yet, ''not'' appearing) for each company.

** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP1XlPXMwVY NYCC trailer for the opening movie]] had these two trading for new rivals being introduced in ''Ultimate'':

** Doctor Strange's greeting to Chun-Li is to invite her to join his new team of "all-female Defenders". How much have you picked up from Tony, Stephen?

** As seen above, the new "Heroes and Heralds" mode in ''Ultimate'' has its fair share of this.

** Currently the general consensus is that Phoenix is the new major one, mainly due to Dark Phoenix being an enormous pain to fight and even more of one if X-Factor is involved; see "TierInducedScrappy" below for how ridiculous this can become.

** To a lesser extent, the new effect of the X-Factor in ''Ultimate [=MvC3=]''. It turns the user into a black silhouette with red outlines and aura. It's a bit unnerving to some.

** In ''[[{{ptitle11hpolf2}} Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney]]'', Phoenix Wright (after his disbarment) was hit by a car, which sent him flying into a lamp post on a Sunday, and he only got a '''sprained ankle'''. Now that he's in ''Ultimate'' (while still a lawyer), he has to contend with many attacks, such as She-Hulk's new lamp post attack in ''Ultimate'', as well as her "Road Rage" Hyper, which involves getting hit by a car (which, according to She-Hulk, was driven by a Sunday Driver)!

** Akuma's Zankukyaku, the multihitting version of Ryu's Senpuukyaku that is vital to his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rfci2YN38M infinite set-ups]] (although newer builds have patched this out). There's also his usual Shun Goku Satsu (or Raging Demon, if you prefer), and in this game, it comes ''even faster'' than in the ''StreetFighter'' games plus it's almost completely invincible allowing you to just plow through any attack the other fighter brings out with it.

** A minor one from ''Ultimate'', people are complaining about the new visual effects of X-Factor (the character becomes a black silhouette with red outline and aura, as well as the highlighted X on the lifebar).

** The new [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfzBAnk09W0 "Heroes vs Heralds"]] mode, the mode the dev team was talking about that would change the way you play the game. Very similar in application to the Gems System from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' (and, to a lesser extent, System Direction from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII: Third Strike''), the mode grants various abilities via collectible cards (invisibility, immunity to projectiles, super armor for both point characters ''and'' Assists, stun from Assist attacks, cancelling specials with other specials, etc.).

** Akuma. Some people think he's nothing more than a {{Shotoclone}} and a waste of a character slot, while others think that he's a total badass with a history in crossover games (as he technically jumpstarted the series with [[GuestFighter his appearance]] in ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom'') and thus deserving of his slot.

*** That was before the game was released - after a few months, people were complaining about her for [[GameBreaker the opposite reason.]]

*** Even more so among the AceAttorney fans when Phoenix Wright was officially revealed. Some fans think his fighting style was done perfectly while others think it doesn't do him enough [[IncrediblyLamePun justice]].

** Given what we've seen of them so far, Strider Hiryu, Ghost Rider, Firebrand, Nemesis, Vergil and Iron Fist look like they'll be working their way up here in due time.

*** Frank West and Rocket Raccoon: Both are a little [[FishOutOfWater out of place]] compared to most of the other characters, and are both known for using weapons...lots of weapons.

*** Ryu and Nova: both have a strong sense of heroism and are good at firing energy blasts. Both also have a KamehameHadoken as one of their hypers.
*** Wolverine and Vergil: both are (or, in case of Wolverine, were) samurai who have a strong sense of honor. They tend to win fights by slicing their enemies and both have [[HealingFactor healing factors]]. In game-play terms, they both have a SuperMode.
*** Hulk and Haggar: Both are big hulking bruisers. There's also their respective quotes to each other in the game itself, emphasizing about their rivalries.

*** Strider Hiryu and Spider-Man: Both are previously rivals to each other in ''MarvelVsCapcom2''. Both are also agile characters, and red and blue (Spidey's default color) results in purple (Hiryu's default color).
*** Wesker and Phoenix: Both are "gods" - Wesker just claims that he's one, while Phoenix has the Phoenix Force sealed inside her.
*** Nemesis and X-23: Both wear black leathers. The former is an experimental zombie mutant while the latter is an experimental clone mutant, and both are trained to hunt people.

** Thanks to the first intro movie, IronMan[=/=][[{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]]. Given [[{{TheCasanova}} their]] [[AnythingThatMoves reputations]], this is hardly a surprise.

*** Hilariously so, that same trailer has had some fans (jokingly) ship Deadpool/Morrigan due to [[CrowningMomentOfFunny a certain moment]] including Deadpool's ass and Morrigan's [[CombatTentacles tentacles]].

** From the game itself, Nemesis has had quite a sudden rise in popularity.

* FountainOfMemes: ''Anything'' {{Deadpool}} says is liable to MemeticMutation. He has given us more phrases than EMP '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZZUMjoxfZA "IT'S MAHVEL,]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6ga9Jvdw9U BAYBEE!"]]''' Yipes, and is giving [[FatalFury Terry]] [[TheKingOfFighters Bogard]] a run for his money as the most memetic character in FightingGame history. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmSv-HvDjAY A select few quotes have been compiled here.]]

-->'''Deadpool''' (''[[GameplayAndStoryIntegration If Deadpool wins via]] CurbstompBattle''): ''[[ShamelessSelfPromoter You were recording that, weren't you, player?]] No? Eheheh... WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WEREN'T RECORDING THAT?!''
-->'''Deadpool''': ''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner Check me out, I'm the ghost of Christmas KICK YOUR ASS!!!]]''

* GameBreaker: Sentinel was this before the health nerf although his power, defensive capabilities with [[BeamSpam neutralize]] and armored normals and amazing assist help to keep him viable. Also, Zero [[DifficultButAwesome in the hands of a highly competant player.]]

** Currently the general consensus is that Phoenix is the new major one, mainly due to Dark Phoenix being an enormous pain to fight and even more of one if X-Factor is involved; see TierInducedScrappy below for how ridiculous this can become.

** Should Trish defeat Dante, her quote at the win screen reads, "Now we know who wears the pants in this relationship." Keep in mind that in the first ''DevilMayCry'', [[BigBad Mundus]] created Trish [[IdenticalStranger in the image of]] [[MissingMom Dante's mother]] [[HotMom Eva]] ''[[FreudWasRight specifically]]'' to seduce him and lure Dante to Mallet Island, so he could catch Dante in his trap and kill him. Ayup.

*** It calmed down a little, when Seth Killian explained that DLC plans where shelved whilst the development team (Based in Japan) dealt with the aftermath of the 2011 Tsunami & the reason the game's coming out so early is because Capcom already have ''StreetFighterXTekken'' due for release in early 2012 & Marvel have several properties tied up in games scheduled for release later that year, so it's case of do it now or wait several years for it.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Fans were preparing to [[http://www.mvc3bingo.com/ complain about the same game they've been waiting for a decade]]. Complaints went from assist characters taking too much damage, missing "important" characters (despite most of the requests not being important to the Marvel universe since TheNineties or--in the case of Capcom characters--it not having any released game since TheNineties), the roster size being smaller than ''[=MvC2=]'' (despite half of that game's cast consisting of "clone" characters and those few really cared about), its combo-easiness compared to ''[=MvC2=]'' (despite there being several infinite combos), that the game takes little to no skill, to trivial stuff like Deadpool's lines, slight changes in movesets, and the game '''not''' being ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'' running on MT Framework.

** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onZn75z77LI TGS trailer for Ultimate]] brought forth some new rivalries:
