Max is joined in every episode by his roommates, the ineffable genius (or so he'd have you believe) [[Doctor Doom|Victor Von Doom]] and highly adorable sun goddess [[Okami|Amaterasu]]. Together, Max and Doom air-combo, X-Factor, and wavedash their way towards mastering the game before [[Galactus]] makes good on his threat to annihilate the world.

As Doom laughs, Max humbles him by rolling the [[Fantastic Four (Film)|Fantastic Four movie]]. {{spoiler|Then Doom counters with a Nicolas Cage montage. Checkmate, Max.}}

Imagine [[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|Strong Bad]] changed his interest from answering emails to Marvel vs Capcom 3 and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|ponies]], and replaced his boxing gloves with Finger Lasers. That's basically this version of Doom. He also has next-to-no knowledge of most of the Marvel characters.

* [[Everything's Deader With Zombies]]: A continuing subplot of the skits, which culminates in the two-part Chris Redfield episode. The natural consequence of keeping people like [[Resident Evil|Wesker and Jill]] around, really.

* [[Framing Device]]: The entirety of the comedy series is one for Maximilian's character tutorials, which have their roots in his previous series "Marvel vs. Capcom 3: The Online Warrior". The deal is simple: either master the game, or Galactus destroys the Earth. With the expansion of episodes to two or even three parts, though, the storytelling device has begun to outstrip the gameplay for more of a straight [[Dramedy]] feel.
