Nova/Frank/Amaterasu is probably my best right now. I play Dormammu too but never settled down and seriously learned a team around him, right now it's Trish/Dorm/Doom.

I just started playing around with Trish/Dorm/Doom. People online will hate your Trish.

Yep she can be a bitch for sure, lots of interesting synergy with Dorm as well, I just wish her combo damage was higher. I've been playing her with the goal of harassing, building some meter and then assist sniping with a chaotic flames DHC or safely installing Dorm with space and spell charges and on that front she works very well.

Not as strong as you'd expect.
That's unavoidable since they took the game offline. If you've got it, you can still play it, but you can't buy it, nor can you get the DLC if you end up with a home copy.

If it makes you feel any better, the FGC still cares about this game more than Capcom ever did.

Thanks I guess.


Last year, Capcom made a JP only mobile game called Street Fighter X All Capcom that featured over 500 Capcom characters in the roster.

Capcom has enough characters in its stable to make it's OWN version of Marvel vs Capcom 2/3, and NOT have to deal with Marvel/Disney's logistical bullshit

That and SF4 is actually their property they can do whatever they want with, while Marvel is a joint project with another company's characters who also have say in what happens with the game. Don't let that stop some of you from acting indignant though.

I'm not saying that, god knows while they still had the license they should've done something about the game, even last minute would've been fine. At this point though it's just stupid to get mad at them for not updating a product they have no control over anymore compared to SF4 which is their property 100%.

Oh, i'm not getting mad at them(At this point I pity Capcom more than anything else). Although, why they haven't just used the Marvel engine to just make a Capcom All-Stars fighting game so that they would have total control of characters and balancing confuses me greatly. It's not like they are hard-strapped for characters: They almost put Nintendo's roster to shame.

I am guessing capcom is losing any interest in making fighting games, they haven't really done a successful one in awhile. Look how bare-bones ultra is effort-wise. I'm not sure they have another full game in them, and even if they do, I would bet good money they don't have a second one. "10 more years" but unironically.

I think we're lucky to have gotten as many SF4 revisions as we have. Capcom is very clearly scaling back their whole fighting games thing again.

How much you wanna bet they saw SFxT's far worse than expected numbers and equated that with 'A crossover of SF and Tekken isnt selling so the genre is dead' instead of 'Gee our game sucks'

Or SFxT was rushed out the door as an attempt to cash in on the popularity of SF4. Capcom practically has a business model of following up good games with lovely games.

It's too bad they're on the verge(?) of bankruptcy, they're due for a good Devil May Cry and maybe a good Resident Evil.

Okay, hang on.

A lot of fans got salty over Dead Rising 3 being an Xbone exclusive, RE6 being worse than three Hitlers mediocre, a second revision to SF4, and so on. The original article said that the company was still profitable, but wasn't as profitable as they'd hoped and they ended up losing their shirts a couple of times in 2013 (Remember Me, Lost Planet 3).

They aren't "broke," they aren't "doomed," they aren't "on the verge of bankruptcy." A bunch of idiot bloggers played the telephone game and gleefully decided to believe the worst because Capcom did something they didn't like. I do think that they're going to need to seriously reexamine their development structure going forward, but pretty much everyone's in that boat.

They did exactly that one year ago. Which is why the only inhouse game in the last year was MH4. The rest was outsourced stuff(DR3, LP3, RM, Strider, DMC, rereleases all done in the west). Also they opened their own fighting game studio in osaka I believe.
But one website said they must be broke and gaming websites are always right, so forget I said anything.

It's a sad state of affairs in the gaming industry when a game (even one from a brand new IP) can sell over a million units and be considered a "modest success" at best or "massive disappointment" at worst.

A lot of money is spent on making games, absolute sale quantities don't tell you much without knowing the budget. I imagine there is some hollywood accounting going on, but still.

Overbloated budgets are part of the problem.
And it's not like the game industry has unions and multi-million dollar salaries to pay like the film industry.

If you can't make a serious profit off of moving 1mil+ units of a GAME, then your business model is hosed.

Are there any goons around here who might be willing to let me snag Jill/Shuma off their PSN? I didn't even know the DLC were gone until just recently, and I've been really playing this game a ton lately with friends and such.

I just know it's going to bug the hell out of me every time I see those UNKNOWN spots on the roster.

Why did they get taken down anyway? :confused:

Capcom lost the rights to the Marvel license, meaning that the game and all DLC are no longer allowed to be distributed.
