People are still making videos about this topic? Why would they waste their precious time?

My self i never picked up MVCI I had a feeling sometime back and it's a shame I was a big fan MVC for a long time was kind of happy when MVC3 dropped on steam but shame the dev's just left it there. The community is still living mind you but it's not the 1st MVC has been left in the dirt

Doesn’t answer my question. What I wanna know is why people keep making “retrospective” videos about MvCI in order to get views, despite how there is still a fairly-large community supporting it. I say these content creators should get a life.

Well done video. I'm still confused as to why the pro FGC was so annoyed with that whole "Function Vs Function" debacle. Like, nobody is picking Sentinel, Magneto, and Storm in MVC2 because they're just the most popular X-Men character. All these tier lists and such wouldn't exist if pro FG players picked a character because they were "cool".

I'll watch it but for me, it's definitely worth the pirate. Just wait for your legitimate favorite characters, the overall design and new modes (online or offline) before you buy.

Well:

• It was literally just the anniversary of the game's release. People were thinking about the game.
  
• It's a popular series with a huge following. It stands to reason the video maker is a fan of the series.
  
• It gets clicks.
  
• It's probably the same reason you (and I and everyone else here) still check this board from time to time.

Because sure their "functions" were their usages but characters are more than the sum of their parts, and to dismiss character aesthetics, personality, story, etc. is to dismiss what makes fighting games fighting games.

"O IT'S SO INTERESTING LET'S MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT WHY IT HAPPENED"
it's just sad is all. mvci is one of the best videogames of all time

After street fighter 5 scam (how else to call title which were released for full price in state of very early access?) peoples were andgry on Capcom.
MvCI had poor graphic. Many peoples also tended to spread information that it looks like PS2 game while it were PS3 level imho.
Game had no X-man and X-man are big for Americans. In place I live Wolverine werent even closely as popular as Spidey,Venom and were barely winning in popularity with Captain America
but many peoples who werent americans ssimply missed them because games cycle started as X-man vs Capcom.
For these reasons many peoles decided not to give this game chance.
Shame because it had great gameplay and character variety. Also post release its team seemed to have good idea how to balance it because they were quite quick to nerf top tier characters and reality stone (which were imho minimally too strong in competitive play but peoples cried 4 times as loud as they should because it were casual killer, some peoples couldnt even understand that if their combo were interrupted by reality projectile it were their bad to engage enemy in wrong moment).

Overally I'm positive that MvCI were better game day 1 than SF5 is after 3 seasons of characters, and Arcade edition. Unfortunately SF5 is Capcoms flagship game so they preferred to keep polishing this garbage instead of continuing support for MvCI.

Get rid of stones, get some proper characters and voices. It really wasn't/isn't that hard to fix.
