Blade not being in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is such bullshit.

[Mustang]

Agreed. Dante/Vergil vs Blade or team them up (along with Wesker) man, lots of missed opportunities at cashing in on MvC3.

Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite Story Trailer

As good as I may think that trailer is I can't help but be skeptical about it. Considering how Capcom is handling Street Fighter 5 I don't even know if I want this anymore.

[gunswordfist]

No X-Men, no care.

[Rynnec]

If Dante and Deadpool don't return, I ain't interested.

[Spark Of Spirit]

They took out two of my mains in the last game, so... 

[gunswordfist]

This better not be retroactive revenge, Spark.

I didn't even know that this existed until today, but as far as fan games go, holy fuck does it look awesome: https://youtu.be/xC5FcIh4-Y4

With the anniversary of YYH's anime it would have been cool to have a full on YYH Vs HxH crossover fighting game.

To be honest, I'd really like to see more shonen series made into fighters. The MHA one for the 3DS misses the mark from what I've seen, it needs to be tighter like the old Capcom and SNK fighters were.

Of all the Soul Calibur games.

Garou and Rival Schools are way too low, but it's otherwise got a good selection.

[Rynnec]

I still maintain that SCV is the best SC game since II from a pure gameplay standpoint, but it's severe lack of content is what ultimately killed it.

I'm supremely happy to see Guilty Gear, Blazblue and Under Night ranks so high. Darkstalkers being in the top 10 should hopefully convince Capcom to give it another shot.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Darkstalkers being in the top 10 should hopefully convince Capcom to give it another shot.

The only kind of numbers that will convince Capcom to do anything are the ones that are in front of a currency symbol.

"What's that? A gritty reboot by Boss Key Productions? And if nobody buys it we'll shutter the franchise for good? Well, sounds great to us!"

Are they? Considering this is Japan we're talking about here. I suppose you can make an argument for taking games off. I'm not so sure they would've cracked higher than 13 (Maybe? Probably not even that if Tekken 7 is as great as it looks). Also, considering that Marvel vs Capcom 2 nor Guilty Gear XXAC+R made the list I think it's fine where it's at. But then again this is all coming from me looking at the tournament side of things.
