So yeah, X-Men Children of The Atom was a great success and both parties found themselves makin' money with the best of them. So Marvel and Capcom decided to continue their alliance, making another game, this time incorporating characters from other MArvel brands. This game would be based off of the popular Infinity gauntlet storyline, which tells the tale of how many Marvels have been brought together by Adam Warlock to defeat the evil tyrannical Titan Thanos from using the Infinity Gauntlet to bloat up Lady Death with more bodies (He REALLY loves Lady Death. No idea if that makes him a necrophiliac)
This game was pretty damn fun too. Hyper Xs were now called Infinities (Though the X-Men characters still had the "X!" callout)
So anyway, enough talk. Let's see them all. Bear in mind, most of them have 1 or 2, except Thanos who has a whopping 6 of them
The Incredible Hulk (Bruce Banner): Gamma Crush: Hulk jumps into space and BRINGS A GODDAMN METEORITE CRASHING DOWN ON YOU. This Hulk is based off of his Professor version, which mixes the amazing power of Hulk with Banner's intelligence. You wouldn't like him when he's mildly disgruntled
Wolverine (Logan/James Howlett): Berserker Barrage: Its a special now, but the super version's still here
Weapon X: After a nasty combo, Wolvie gets you with an X-slash.
Spiderman (Peter Parker): Maximum Spider: Bounces all around the gaff while pummelling you. Personally, I feel Spidey's a glory hog but not a total arsehole. Jameson hates him. But Jameson hates all masked supers since his wife was killed by a masked burglar.
Mag-FUCKIN-neto, MASTER OF MAGNET (Erik Magnus Lehnsherr/Max Eisenhardt): Magnetic Shockwave: Still unchaged.
Magnetic Tempest: Since the Blackbird isno longer in every stage, this super was changed so that it summons unexplained icey projectile things which Mags fires at you. Here, they're homing.
THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH! (Cain Marko): Juggernaut (BITCH) Headcrush: Same as COTA.
Iron Man (Tony Stark): Proton Cannon: The good old Iron Alcoholic sumons a giant fuckoff energy blaster out of nowhere, which he likely built IN A CAVE, WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS. Shame Civil War made him an out-and-out cunt
Psylocke (Betsy Braddock): Psi-Thrust: remaisn unchanged but I can't seem to do teh 2nd, controllable one.
Psi-Maelstrom: Can you say Shinryuken? Anyway, yeah I like Psylocke, though that could be cos we both have the same nationality. Patriotism ain't evil, yo'
Captain America (Steve Rogers, R.I.P): Final Justice: Captain America gives a beating for hte pride of the Red, White And Blue. FREEDOM PREVAILS
Shuma Gorath: Chaos Dimension: After posing a bit, Shuma glows. If you input it again at the right distance, the super fires off. Quite why they went for an obscure Doctor Strange baddie when they could have had, oh, I don't know, DOCTOR STRANGE is beyond me.
Blackheart: Armageddon: Summons a Meteor Storm.
Heart of Darkness: After making an army of demons sodomize you, a firepillar finishes the job. Blackheart's kinda cool.
Dr Doom (Victor Von Doom): Photon Array: Doom pulverises the player with a stream of Photon Shots. He's the only Fantastic Four rep the MvC series ever had, sadly. How hard could it hve been for Capcom to do Human Torch?
Thanos: Power Gem: Invoking the Power Gem, he throws a huge rock at you
Mind: Invokes Mind to reverse your controls
Time: Manipulates Time to slow you down
Space: Rips open Space to suck up some space rocks, which are then vommitted back at you
Soul: Drains your Soul and heals him
Reality: My favourite. Using the powers of Reality, he summons two pillars which crush you to death.
Anita (!): Love For You: Fires off an impossible amount of doll heads at you. They hit up to 99 hits max and the damage is TREMENDOUS.
Yeah, Anita as in Donovan Baine's little girlfriend. Weird. She's only in the Japanese version though and seems incomplete as one move has Akuma appear for some reason and she has most of Thanos's stuff.
Sicne I'm so nice, here's the 60s theme tune to MSH.
MEET THE SULKY, OVERBULKY KINDA HULK SUPERHERO
ALTRUISTIC AND ELECTRICALLY TRANSISTORED SUPERHERO
AN EXOTICALLY NEUROTIC AND AQUATIC SUPERHERO
THE MARVEL SUPER HEROES HAVE ARRIVED
SUPERPOWERED FROM THE FOREHEAD TO THE TOES
WATCH THEM CHANGE THEIR VERY SHAPE BEFORE YOUR NOSE
SEE OUR CANE STRIKING SUPERHERO CHANGE TO VIKING SUPERHERO
ALL SINGIN' REAL SWINGIN' SHIELD FLINGIN' SUPERHERO
THEY'RE THE LATEST, THEY'RE THE GREATEST, ULTIMATEST SUPERHERO
THE MARVEL SUPERHEROES HAVE ARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVED!
(Sadly, Thor and Namor do not appear in this game)
"Quite why they went for an obscure Doctor Strange baddie when they could have had, oh, I don't know, DOCTOR STRANGE is beyond me."
Guess who's in Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 after near on 15 years of not being included in Marvel VS games?
