SDCC: Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Will Definitely May Induce Seizures
Marvel and Capcom have finally shown some of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3‘s gameplay at SDCC, and it looks like — well, it looks like Street Fighter 4 on a diet of nothing but Red Bull and LSD. Seeing the manic insanity of the game, it makes me feel old. I actually don’t know that at the ancient age of 33 I’ll have fast enough reflexes to play the game with any kind of skill. Maybe I can just avoid playing it with anyone younger than, say 29, because they would almost definitely kick my ass while I try desperately to see what the fucks happening between all the flashes. Or maybe Capcom can put this out for the Atari 2600, which might be more my speed.
PS — I didn’t realize this until I went to GameTrailers, but MvC3‘s subtitle: Fate of Two Worlds, can be shortened to FTW. I believe this is very much intentional, and should sum up what you need to know about the game pretty handily. There’s plenty more videos over here, if your interested.
