[First off I apologize for the lateness] Now lets begin with what I just can't wrap my head around. MvsC3 was suppose to be the all time greatest fighting game of this generation. All the dominoes were stacked in line an it looked like it was going to pull it off. Then it happened. I should have known we were in trouble when they started to reveal characters every other week.

That brings me to my first complaint: The character selection. It was way to low for my liking. Ok I get it, it was watered down because of some potential play alikes i.e. hulk and juggernaut, or look alikes i.e ghost rider and Dormammu. But come on, my favorite team wasn't even available to play. Juggernaut, Gambit, and cable. I mean, we really know why the list is so short but I'll get to that in a min. Also let me touch base on the story, What happened to it. We were promised this elaborate story driven game. Good luck with that. It was all just a mish mesh of everybody's single player experience that didn't even tie into each other. The ending artwork was cool, with its comic book style. It just wasn't what I expected. Maybe more of a Blaze Blue type of story.

Anyways, lets look at the online. Everyone thought that with capcom making it, and there success with Street Fighter 4 and SSF4 we were in for a treat. After playing online for about a month I can say that if feels tacked on, like a last resort almost. No replay theater, you cant watch matches in lobbies, cant save matches, and ranked matchmaking sucks. Although let me shed some light on the situation, when MvsC3 is in action, it really gets going. Combat is fluid, fast, and fun. Air combos are easy to use and yet still complex for the hardcore, plus add in the x factor (ability to increase speed and power, but duration depends on how many characters you have left)and things get really crazy. Its just when MvsC3 is not in action is when it sucks a**.

Now lets get back to the reason the character list is so short. Money. Every company is out to make a pretty penny, whether it be EA and Warner Bros with there online pass, or Capcom and its affiliates shelling out dlc characters for 5 bucks each. We knew it may be coming, but not like this. Some characters should have been dlc from the beginning i.e. viper and m.o.d.o.k. Then some that were dlc should have been in from the beginning i.e. mega man. I mean come on, other than Ryu and Ken who do you think of when you think Capcom? MEGA MAN!!! So is exploiting the consumer who has been waiting so long for a quick buck cool? I talk bad about the scheme but I'm also the one supporting it. Lord knows I want those characters. And its sad. LMAO
