Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Game Info

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a crossover fighting game developed by Capcom in collaboration with Eighting. It is an updated version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. The game features characters from both Capcom's video game franchises and comic book series published by Marvel Comics. The game was released in November 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and was featured as a launch title for the PlayStation Vita in 2012. In Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, players select a team of three characters to engage in combat and attempt to knock out their opponents. As an update, the game utilizes largely identical gameplay mechanics to the original. However, both the aerial combat and X-Factor systems, introduced in Fate of Two Worlds, have received adjustments. In addition to gameplay modifications and new playable characters, the game features several aesthetic changes. After the events of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami disrupted the development schedule for downloadable content for Fate of Two Worlds, the additional content was created into a standalone title, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, for a discounted retail price. The game received generally positive reviews upon release; critics praised the expanded character roster and improved online experience, but criticized the lack of new features and game modes.

I absolutely adore the concept of a fighting game with characters of two completely different universes (actually more, because Capcom characters aren't all in the same universe). It really feels like a childhood dream come true, when you was watching fan animations on YT of Mario and Sonic fighting each other, but here it is Dante and Deadpool instead.
However, I don't think that I would stick to this game for too long, because I severely dislike some of the gameplay stuff.

First of all, it's almost impossible to find an opponent with the same rank as yours. The game is more than a decade old, so of course it won't be getting 30k daily online like Street Fighter 6. Sometimes there are no players online whatsoever, so if you want to fight AT LEAST SOMEBODY, you're forced to remove all the restrictions of ranking and region, and pray to god that you will find at least one living human soul. And even if you do, you're in for a one hell of a ride, because it will very likely be a huge nerd with a 6th lord rank or some sh*t, and you will perish before you know it.

That leads us to the second annoying as hell gameplay peculiarity. Infinite combo loops. I absolutely hate them. Because if you play against the opponent that knows what he's doing, if you get hit just once, it will very likely mean that the game is already over for you. You'll just get comboed till the end of times without a single ability to do something about it. This feature is so unfair and annoying that it just makes me wanna quit this game and never come back. Or at least never touch online ever again. I hope that if we will ever see the new MVC game, this feature either will be completely removed (which is probably not gonna happen, because there are quite a few people that like it), or at least made an option, because I have absolutely zero desire to deal with it. I want MVC to be enjoyable for both nerds and more casual players that just want to hop on a quick match or two, because playing with bots forever doesn't quite cut it.
