Cyclops was a prominent role in the early days of the Versus Series, appearing not only as a roster member in the first two Marvel vs. Capcom games, but also as a part of the now-iconic opening sequence for the game that launched the series, 1996's X-Men vs. Street Fighter. For some reason, developers opted not to include the iconic X-Men character in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. (nor its Ultimate update, and obviously neither the X-Men-less Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite). Tabs, a dedicated modder, created a palette switch mod that not only adds Cyclops to the game, but also equips him with a distinct arsenal of moves, thereby making him his own character.
Viper is the only character in the game that can perform EX techniques with a single bar cost, which makes filling your special meter very beneficial, and her eight-direction angled air dash provides mobility in aerial battle. While Ryu and Akuma are the Street Fighter stars, it seems as if the ladies won this match, lads. Nova's appearance in UMvC3
Assisting Characters And Active Characters
Another significant difference between typical fighting games and MvC3 is the addition of help strikes. Only one of your characters may be âactiveâ at any one moment, but your other two characters may aid by performing assist attacks. The player must pick one of three assist-type attacks for each of their characters during character choosing. Choosing the best assist attacks for your team is a critical component of MvC3, and even poor characters may be immensely valuable if their assist attack is strong enough.
"The Nurf King" himself is a formidable adversary for you, Hulk!
Capcom offered a great service to long-time fans by remixing several famous BGM themes from earlier VS Series games, ranging all the way back to X-men: Children of the Atom. The soundtrack of MVC3 is undoubtedly a varied and rich collection of music, with at least 100 songs! One of my primary "cosmetic" issues with Marvel VS Capcom 2 was the absence of character-specific themes. MVC3 "restores the rhythm" with the use of incredible-sounding individual character themes! When a fighter is summoned to combat and their theme begins to play, it never fails to add to the sense of awe. While some of the BGMs are pure aural bliss, others left me unsatisfied (Ryu's and Chun Li's could've been so much better). In any case, I really can't complain when this game has so many tunes (and the most of them are excellent!).
