=== [[Fridge Logic]] ===
* The game's subtitled "''Fate of Two Worlds''"? That would mean the Marvel and Capcom worlds, right? So... ''[[Resident Evil]]'', ''[[Street Fighter]]'', ''[[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Mega Man X]]'', ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' and all of the other Capcom games all take place in the same continuity? That's... Pretty awesome, actually.
** Considering that ''Street Fighter'', ''[[Final Fight]]'', ''[[Saturday Night Slam Masters (Video Game)|Saturday Night Slam Masters]]'', ''[[Captain Commando]]'', and possibly ''[[Rival Schools (Video Game)|Rival Schools]]'' [[Shared Universe|are set in the same timeline]] and there were multi-series cameos as early back as Ken's ''[[Street Fighter Alpha (Video Game)|Street Fighter Alpha]] 2'' [http://capcom.wikia.com/wiki/File:StreetFighterAlpha2-USA%28Ken%29.png stage] <ref>see [[Street Fighter (Franchise)/Characters|here]] for who's who</ref>, the idea isn't quite as far-fetched as one may think. There have also been [[Epileptic Trees]] in the past linking together the more supernatural series (e.g. ''[[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]]'', ''Devil May Cry'', ''[[Ghosts N'n Goblins (Video Gameseries)|Ghosts N Goblins]]'', ''[[Chaos Legion]]'', etc.) and even ''[[Namco X Capcom (Video Game)|Namco X Capcom]]'' rolled with the idea that the various series shared the same world but were separated by time and space.
** To add to this, the first ''[[Dino Crisis]]'' features the insignia of [[Resident Evil|the Umbrella Corporation]] on boxes found in-game, while the Republic of Borginia/Borginian Republic (the setting of ''Dino Crisis'') is reused as a location in the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series (note that Shinji Mikami was involved in all three series, so the nods could be [[Author Appeal|intentional]]). Thus, it's safe to assume that a good number of Capcom franchises share ''some'' sort of continuity, even if a majority of those games don't bother to further explore those connections.
* Both the Marvel and Capcom universes are in danger, correct? Then why does {{spoiler|Galactus only devour one planet? Unless the two worlds merged, shouldn't the ''other'' universe still be intact?}}
** To be fair, though, in the {{spoiler|ending artwork for Galactus' ending, he is shown devouring both worlds...}}
* Galactus is so big, he can hold Earth between his two hands. But it seems like the fighters are, at most, as big as his hands (you can see it when he does his grab attack). So when we come into him, the fighters become... bigger? Then how could they fit into their worlds?
** The fighters (most likely) remain their normal sizes. Galactus is a combination of [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]] and [[Your Size May Vary]]; his most common appearance is how he presents himself so that lesser beings in the Marvel universe can perceive him. His size (while always [[Attack of the Fifty50 Foot Whatever|large]]) is wildly inconsistent whenever he shows up, ranging from the size of skyscrapers to larger than the earth.
** Galactus shifting from "unspeakably vast" to "very big but manageable" is present in the battle itself -- while the player is dealing with his Heralds, Galactus himself is visible in the background with his hands cupped around Earth.
* During her Level 3 "Silent Kill" Hyper, X-23 turns invisible until surprising the opponent with an aerial slash. Except X-23 ''can't turn invisible''.
Line 15:
** It's possible that it's actually the reverse going on. When she does her "Silent Kill" Hyper Combo, she yells "Dirt Nap!" and a cloud of dirt kicks up before she turns invisible. This CAN imply that she's actually blinding the opponent(s) temporarily, making it hard to see her until she attacks or the effect wears off.
*** She's using tunnels previously dug by Rocket Raccoon?
* [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]] didn't get in because they feared that they couldn't think of new moves for him. Or atleast were too lazy to implement them. Anybody who's played the first two [[Marvel vs. Capcom]] named games knows that Mega Man was a [[Shotoclone]]. Thus, they didn't add him in because he was one. The problem? Akuma is even ''more'' similar to Ryu and still got in. This explanation would've been fine... in the first [[Marvel vs. Capcom]]. Laziness, indeed...
** It's so bad that some players even believe that Akuma makes Ryu ''completely obsolete''. To make matters even worse, there are other characters who possess extremely shoto-esque moves (Morrigan and Captain America for example), and characters like Chris Redfield and Dante are allowed to use ''their entire arsenals'' from their respective games. There's no reason Mega Man wouldn't have been able to, say, use Guts Man's boulders, Flash Man's freeze, or Galaxy Man's black hole.
*** No longer an issue as of Ultimate, where Ryu has been buffed to be significantly better than in vanilla, as well as completely different from Akuma.
*** And some still want [[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Mega Man X]] who could indeed use both the Hadouken and the Shoryuken. No biggie. That leaves the X Buster and about 30 other moves (give or take) to add. Of course, mind you, X has only been Nintendo and Sony. At worst they could make him a [[PSPlay Station 3]] exclusive. However, the real reason may be because the creator of Mega Man himself left Capcom. It's not hard to guess that it was a sign of respect or copyright issues. Atleast people wouldn't have complained about that. (outside of the pure [[Fan Dumb]])
*** Not really. The game was in production long before he left. Also, Zero was actually his favorite character, so if they were trying to pay "homage", wouldn't THAT character be the one to withhold out of respect?
*** On the topic of "X has only been Nintendo and Sony", how about Zero? He was from the same series as X, but he could make the cut.
Line 30:
*** [[Humongous Mecha|Sentinel]] and its soulless chassis say hi. And I'm pretty sure [[Okami|Ammy]] has not committed any sins to speak of.
*** I've heard a variant explanation that it causes the victim to experience all the pain s/he has caused others (whether innocent or guilty, good reason to do it or not, etc.) So Amaterasu would feel what she did to Orochi, Yami, Ninetails, and all those imps and demons.
**** Sentinel commited the sin of being [[Tier -Induced Scrappy|utterly]] [http://www.platformnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/sentinel-vs-sentinel-3-fate-of-two-sentinels.png cheap].
* Hawkeye tries to insult She-Hulk by saying her cousin got the brains in the family. Considering that he's also Bruce Banner, one of the eight smartest people in the world...
* Two certain people give out different lines when they face Phoenix Wright as the first man up. She-Hulk states "The Defense shall rest *Beat* Her fist on your face!" and Iron Man quotes "If I win, you're gonna call off that lawsuit against Stark Industries." Common responses considering they know Nick is a lawyer, but then fridge logic comes into play: Nick is a DEFENSE Attourney. In these two statements, it's being implied that Nick is a prosecutor instead.
Line 38:
 
=== [[Fridge Brilliance]] ===
* A lot of fans were upset that [[Bionic Commando (Video Game)|Nathan Spencer]] had his [[Just for Pun|dreaded]] new look and would have preferred the redesign from ''Bionic Commando: Rearmed''. But then you play it and realize that this Spencer can do something that the ''Rearmed'' version couldn't: jump. And with the ability to jump added to ''Rearmed 2'', there's a good chance that it will be used as an alternate costume down the line.
** And [http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature/marvelcapcom-final/image-feature/index.html?image=20 it's confirmed.]
* When facing the X-Men, Doom opens with "I will make you wish you were fighting Magneto!" This becomes rather interesting when you consider that [[Paul Dobson]] has voiced Magneto in the past.
Line 45:
*** Not to mention the Zeroes Jets mentioned in the YMMV page.
* Amaterasu never howled as an insult in ''[[Okami]]'' -- but since she does here, she leaves herself open to being attacked mid-howl, just like in the battle against Yami.
* Taskmaster's theme sounds ''very'' heroic. Considering [[Heel Face Revolving Door|who]] [[Only in It For Thethe Money|he]] [[Punch Clock Villain|is]], it [[Soundtrack Dissonance|doesn't seem to fit his character]], so why does his theme sound so heroic? Then you remember that his powers let him mimic heroes.
** Taskmaster copies a lot of things off of other heroes. Including [[Wolverine|voice]] [[Steve Blum|actors]].
* In a very Meta example, Zero got in over [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]]. Zero was meant to be the main character of ''[[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Mega Man X]]'' (or, at least, X was designed as a red robot with long blond hair, which becomes Zero's design), but [[Executive Meddling]] reared its ugly head. And now the opposite happened. Triples as a case of [[Irony]] and [[Hilarious in Hindsight]].
* You might be wondering why Tron's post-fight [[Trash Talk]] after winning against Zero asks him where MegaMan Volnutt is. Remember ''[[Tatsunokovs Capcom (Video Game)|Tatsunokovs Capcom]]''? Who was representing the ''Mega Man'' series alongside Zero and Roll?
* Sentinel's recent health nerf may seem pretty odd when you consider that he's a giant robot, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5v2RdxYGqk take a look at the Sentinels] on the 90's ''X-Men'' cartoon, and see how easily destroyed they are. If anything, the nerf made this Sentinel even ''more'' true to form!
* Phoenix has the lowest health in the game. This means naturally that she dies. ''A lot''. Much like her comic-book counterpart (at least, that's how people see it). What makes it even better is that, if she dies when you have a full 5 meters of super, she goes into Dark Phoenix mode. Where she regenerates all her life, but still has the lowest health in the game. And will still die a lot.
* [[Doctor Strange]] was greeted by some of the fanbase with "Phoenix Killer!" But one of the major roles for his character is to come in and deal with unstoppable galactic threats...
* ''[[Ultimate Marvel]]'' version of Nick Fury appears in C. Viper's ending. Most people saw it as odd, especially because this universe (Earth-96169) is based off of the mainline Earth-616. But then the [[Updated Rerelease]] come out with the name '''''Ultimate''' MvC3'', and now it makes sense.
* [[Ghost Rider]]'s motorbike hyper is named Spirit of Vengeance. Cool, but odd. But then there's the info about the [[Ghost Rider (Filmfilm)|Ghost Rider]] movie, subtitled ''Spirit of Vengeance''. Thus, this proves that Marvel is [[Executive Meddling|doing their meddlings]] to advertise their characters.
** And in his ending, notice the contract Trish holds up? It's the same one that was used to erase the marrage of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson in [[One More Day]].
*** Unfortunately, it doesn't seem likely that it's that specific contract. If you look closely at the signature, you'll notice that it's signed "Johnny Blaze."
** Seeing as [[Hawkeye]] is in next year's ''[[The Avengers (Filmfilm)|The Avengers]]'' and Dr. Strange has had a rumored movie in the works for years now, I'd say you're correct in that Marvel is trying to do some advertising for their characters. Nova, Iron Fist, and Rocket Raccoon were probably just added for the hell of it, though.
*** There's apparently a Guardians of the Galaxy movie in the works, and Nova and the Guardians are definitely appearing on the Avengers cartoon next season. Still no idea about Iron Fist, though.
 
Line 79:
* Galactus has been defeated and killed! The world is saved! Hooray! And then you remember that Galactus' existence is imperative for the survival of the universe...
** Or, alternately, Galactus said "I now must squash you like the bug that you are!" after he's defeated. [[Foreshadowing]] for a second battle?
** Even worse; should Galactus actually be killed, his body will release a [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]] [[Ultimate Evil]] [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|In A Can]] named Abraxas [[Omnicidal Maniac|who seeks to destroy every parallel universe]]. He ''killed'' an alternate Galactus and Roma (the protector of Eternity), among other things. The only way to kill Abraxas? ''Destroy all of reality and reset it using Galactus' Ultimate Nullifier''. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice going, heroes!]] You really ''have'' doomed the world!
*** Actually, he isn't killed, he just buggers off.
*** Remember, this isn't the mainstream Marvel universe. ''MvC3'' takes place in a completely different reality from the 616 universe where that rule applies. There have been plenty of alternate universes where Galactus has died and nothing has gone wrong.
