What is the difference between this game and marvel vs capcom infinite?

[ART_Gamer]

And which game is better. I am planning to get it since both the games are on sale. Please suggest which one to buy.

This game, it has more characters, better mechanics, and it looks much better as well.

This is something I looked into as well. From what I understand, both online communities are almost dead, so there isn't much choice there. One notable point in favor (if you like the X-men) of this game is that it has the X-men characters. That is the main reason why I am considering getting it :)

infinite has a story mode, it's not spectacular but there is a narrative. marvel 3 only has arcade and a mode called Heroes and Heralds which is actually a fun little offline game where you collect cards and upgrade your team with them.

in terms of game play, it's based on taste but I think they are about equal in terms of what they offer. infinite is a 2v2 game where team order isn't important and you will need to master playing both characters well. marvel 3 is a 3v3 game with assists which puts more emphasis on team synergy and team order, well built teams go very far.

in terms of how hard the games are, well it's a fighting game so there's always challenges, but infinite is a lot more lenient on inputs and there's less emphasis on being able to press buttons more accurately and faster than your opponent. Combos in general have a lot of funky hitstun so it's easier to combo off certain moves in infinite whereas mvc3 can often have much harder combo links.

for the roster, marvel 3 is 100% better imo, there's 50 characters whereas mvci only has 30 and you have to spend $30 more for 6 DLC characters. mvci does have characters like thanos, gamora, winter soldier and venom, there was a bit more emphasis on adding MCU characters this time around whereas marvel 3 was developed in 2010 before the MCU and has a much closer tie to marvel 2 where we have x-men.

music, marvel 3 music is awesome and only a handful of songs are meh. personally dislike all of infinites songs except for a small few.

art style, marvel 3 is more comic book looking whereas infinite is more realistic, I prefer marvel 3 style and it still looks good today imo.

Overall: Marvel 3 is better but Infinite is a bit easier to newcomers and much more lenient controls/execution and team building.

Thank you all for your detailed answers.

I just picked this up last night. I had the vanilla version for my 360 years ago when it first came out. I'm not much of a fighting game fan, but I'm a huge Marvel and Capcom fan. I spent the past 3 hours infront of this game playing the Heroes vs. Heralds mode, and I must say it is very addicting. Give it a shot for the price. My computer can't run Infinite so I cannot comment on it. Love this game so far though.

Thank you, sir. If gameplay is not accounted, then I guess UMVC3 is the favorable one?

Yes, unless you really want X playable. He is in Infinite but not this one. But 3 makes up for it with more characters and better mechanics

If only we could get X and Venom in MVC3... *sigh*
