“When Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was released, fans jumped for joy at the long awaited return of the Marvel Vs.series. With the addition of brand new characters, a new mechanic called “X-factor,” and the promise of even more characters in the form of DLC, this appeared to be the fighting game to get. However, not even a year later, amidst complaints of how “broken” X-factor was and how certain characters were overpowered, Capcom responded with the announcement of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. As a budgeted upgrade to the “vanilla” version, there was some hostility towards Capcom’s releasing this game to cash in on the flaws of the first installment.”
