Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Greatest fighting game of all time
amazing gameplay, has phoenix wright, great selection of characters encluding phoenix wright, Dante is pretty dang cool, Phoenix wright is in the game, really nice comic book graphics with great cel shading, phoenix wright is a pretty good character
honestly one of my top favorite games 100%
Worth the price but also good getting it on sale- this game is just simply amazing
would not recommend getting caught in a wesker combo

I don't own a controller so I have to use the keyboard but I can still hit the craziest combos with Vergil just by typing like Flint Lockwood.

Ultimmate marvel tree is very fun and you can play as dante from dmc ii like dante a lot

This is a legendary fighting game. Easily the best crossover fighter ever made. The roster has all the expected picks and some great niche picks. All the characters play and feel like they're supposed to. The adaptations are pitch perfect. Everyone has the best voices, and they are all written perfectly. Everyone is in character, and their personalities shine through gameplay all the time. both in how they play and how they talk to each other.
Gameplay is smooth as butter. Combos are responsive and fluid. It's fun to improve at the game, and it's extremely rewarding to do so. This got me into fighting game commands, and they feel great here. and there are extremely hard combos for the most dedicated players. The visuals are fantastic. The 3D environments are taken full advantage of. We have cinematic camera tricks to emphasize attacks in ways the 2D games couldn't do. Every moveset greatly improves upon the older games as well, while still respecting the old moves. The game feels unburdened by corporate interference. Knowing it had a troubled development make it more impressive.
This game is a miracle.

One of the best to ever do it. Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 isn't just a game you should watch and be in awe of, it's one you should experience for yourself. I don't care how 'bad' you think you are. Grab your 'bad' friends and go be bad together. It'll be the time of your life, and if you choose to stick it out together and push each other to be less bad inch by inch, you'll find not only a new favorite game to come back to, but a whole entire genre that is now yours to explore.

In short, go play Marvel, baby.

if you like buttonmashing and the 50/50 feeling of "I am god" or "I want to hang myself from the rafters" then this is the perfect game for you.

I get the cover of the next Street Fighter for this, right Capcom? Right?
Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 (UMvC3) is a very special fighting game for me because I played this game a ton as a kid and thanks to a good friend of mine, I was gifted the game allowing me to relive my experiences of this game all over again. This game comes with all of the DLC characters, nine new stages, and gameplay updates.

Gameplay
UMvC3 is a 3v3 fighting game where you can pull off some flashy combos to take out your opponents. You can tag out to switch out to a different character on your team at any point in the game and while one character is switched out, they will start to heal any damage they have taken in that round. You can also make one of your team members attack your opponent to help deal more damage. However, you have to be careful as they can be attacked and will take increased damage if they are.
During battle, you can activate an ability called X-Factor, which is a speed and damage boost for your characters. The duration will vary between each character, and it will be more powerful depending on if the player has one of two partners KO’ed. It can only be activated once per match but besides increasing damage and speed, it will also heal you, cancel specific moves to extend combos, or turn the tables if you are losing a match.
There are a total of 50 characters for you to play as and they each have their own unique move sets and gimmicks for you to use in battle. There are a ton of team combos for you to make and utilize in the game. UMvC3 has a lot of depth to it as you yourself will have to learn at least three characters in the game. This adds some complexity as you have to know what is special about each character since this is not a fighter where you are playing as just one character. You have to learn at least three of them and because of this, I think UMvC3 has a lot of depth to its gameplay.
Now in terms of characters, I am more familiar with the Capcom lineup, as I am not too interested in superheroes as a whole. That being said, there are a lot of characters that I do enjoy playing as. For Capcom, I like playing as Zero, Spencer, Amaterasu, Dante, and Vergil, who can pretty much destroy a team on level 3 Xfactor if given the chance. I love it that Lei-Lei is in the game from Darkstalkers but she is sadly the worst character in the game.
For Marvel, I actually liked playing quite a few characters, including Dr. Strange, Doctor Doom, Taskmaster, Super-Skrull, Dormammu, and Deadpool. I find it very nice that a lineup of characters I am not too familiar with ended up having some of my favorite characters to play as, which is something I like.
There is an arcade mode where you will go through a series of matches to get to the final boss of the game, that being, Galactus. Whoever gets the last hit on Galactus, you will get that character's ending, so let's say you have a team of Zero, Taskmaster, and Dante. Dante gets the last hit in Galactus, you will get Dante’s ending and his ending only. You have to go through arcade mode again to get Taskmasters and Zero’s ending. This may seem tedious, but I think it’s the opposite actually because this gives the game a ton of replayability and lots of single-player content.
The only con I would give for the game is that online is dead for the most part, although there is a Discord server where you can find people who want to play the game online. So, there is a community out there that wants to keep the game alive, plus the pro tournaments have some of the most fun matches I have seen.
Soundtrack
The soundtrack for the game is actually really good and I was surprised to know that since I played when I was younger, I guess I just never realized it. My favorite theme in the game has to be Vergil’s theme, which is just a remix of his second boss theme from Devil May Cry 3.
Graphics and Performance
The graphics for UMvC3 are beautiful and are very colorful, making the areas feel special. I tested the game on an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Quad-Core Processor 3.50, and 16 GB of RAM, I experienced no issues while I was playing, and the game ran really well.
Final Verdict
I was really happy that I was able to play Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 again as it brought memories back from when I was younger. It’s good to know that the fun I had in the game has not died down and the nostalgia factor for when I was younger is still there. I may not be too good at fighters, but I can say that even if you are just trying to play the game casually, there is a lot to the game to honestly enjoy.
Give me six months and 99.999.99 and I'll make some quality reviews at Life Needs a Little Sin
