If you answered B on all questions (except the last part, which I don't have the answer for), you're a true comicbook/videogame fan (almost)! Congratulations.

Let me say that I am a CAPCOM (a videogame company) fighting game fan for years. I remember that I started playing fighting games when I was in Grade 6 until now. I did cut several (okay, many) classes before just to play Street Fighter 3: Third Strike and screamed when I first got the MASTERSTREETFIGHTER (highest rank) playing Chun Li. That's how I love fighting games and hated school. ;)

One of my favorites has to be Marvel Vs Capcom, a fighting game where some characters of two companies (Marvel and CAPCOM) battle it out to save the universe or something, when it came out. I was a n00b and didn't exactly know how to play the game yet. A few years later, in 2000, Marvel Vs Capcom 2 came out with more characters and a 3 v 3 tag team gameplay. It was a wild but fun game.

Ten years later, the third game from the series finally came out. Marvel Vs Capcom 3 still has the same 3v3 tag team battle but with new, diverse characters, 3D graphics, crazier gameplay (you can tag while doing air combos, etc.) and a BIG boss, Galactus, who will eat Earth. So in short, it's up to your three selected characters to save the planet. Bongga!

I immediately loaded the game in one of the XBOX 360s sa shop. Here's the title screen. Press any button daw. Can I press Ryu's and Wolverine's buttons? :P

The character select screen. You get to pick three characters and how they can do their "assist" attacks.

Lemme introduce you to them.

Capcom side: Nemesis, Firebrand, Strider Hiryu, Phoenix Wright, Chris Redfield, Arthur, Frank West, Vergil, Wesker, Zero, Ryu, Dante, Morrigan, Tron, Chun Li, Trish, Felicia, Spencer, Akuma, Viewtiful Joe, Hsien ko, Haggar, C. Viper, Amaterasu

Marvel side: Nova, Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Rocket Raccoon, Captain America, Dormammu, Deadpool, Wolverine, Iron Man, Dr. Doom, X-23, Storm, Thor, M.O.D.O.K., SpiderMan, Sentinel, Hulk, Super Skrull, Phoenix, Magneto, She Hulk, Taskmaster

The two UNKNOWNS at the top are Jill Valentine for Capcom and Shuma Gorath for Marvel.

Here's how the gameplay works. I'd love to show you how I play but I was playing alone. Got a video from Youtube na lang. It looks magulo pero you'll get the hang of the game in a couple of fights. Trust me, masaya s'ya.

You can also play as the boss Galactus. I did. Kawawa naman ang AI. I finished them easily. Heehee.
Kinda weird because I was Player 1 but Galactus is positioned at the right side of the screen.

My team for this game is Morrigan, Akuma and Frank West. Who's your team?

Overall, I give this game a 4.5/5. There are a few overpowered characters (like Vergil) but ultimately, it's the characters you choose and how you use them. I am enjoying this game and if you get the chance to play it, go! Then call me for a challenge. Have fun!
