Heavy MCU focus rather than pure Marvel focus for a game that's pretty niche meant alienating the MVC fanbase due to the lack of fan favorites being there, while also not picking up the mainstream audience at all they were trying to attract by putting in MCU characters due to the nicheness of the game.

it's not an inherently bad game, but it is unabashedly ugly as fuck. maximillian will tell you to sweetfx and bloom and HD texture your way to some frankengame but it just does not look good. nobody wanted marvel to look like mortal kombat x and they dropped core favorites. that's it.
Tyler Myers
That too, MVC3 was successful because you could press one button and they'd do a flashy as fuck move.

god infinite sucks but I do like Strange's VA in it

off the top of my head
>capcom bowing to disney for MUH MCU
>terrible character models, animations, story, voice acting, a shit ton of reused assets but somehow done worse
>more marvel characters than capcom
>3v3 going down to 2v2
>going for ugly attempt at realism instead of retaining 3's anime / comic style

It was very petty of disney not to do it

Infinity VAs sound fucking bored out of their minds. Like jesus christ, Strange's VA in UMvC3 might be cheesy but he puts energy in every damn line.
Chase Perez
Lots of shit
>It's not a bad game
Yes it is, the tag and gem systems are broken as fuck, shit like Ryu/Nem armor cheese should not be a thing. That's not why the game failed, though.
-It was extremely ugly
-The story mode was awful and the demo made that clear to everyone
-it had a tiny roster and was missing massive fan favorites that define the series
-combofiend couldn't stop shoving his foot in his mouth, causing lots of bad press

function A vs function B isn't a good way to sell you character-based fighting game.
Leo Evans
I think it came out right in that VA strike against video games, so it's all non-union substitutes

The game came out during Marvel's anti-X-Men/pro-Inhuman push, when Fox was unwilling to sell the film rights back to Disney/Marvel and Ike Perlmutter retaliated by effectively cutting off the X-Men from most or all forms of media.
Remember the Inhumans TV show? Yeah, that's a product of those times as well.
Parker Gonzalez
>Remember the Inhumans TV show?
I'm glad it exists because Marvelfags had to suffer through Scott Buck's "talent" like I did years before.

Lack of X-Men, the dick riding of the movies, not very limited picks on the Capcom side despite their many series, Sigma being DLC despite being the main villain alongside Ultron showing more dick riding for the movies, the artstyle making everyone look pretty bad, and its pretty obvious the people who animated and wrote the story can't into western stuff, telling me they should have just made an anime storyline or just not do a story like this.

I don't want to.

Kind of seeing a pattern here...
OK, I know it's in the Mouse's interest to let the populus think the MCU essentially equals Marvel as a whole, rather than let them know what a watered down series of adaptations it really is but still.
Nicholas Ward
The soundtrack is also shit, with few salvageable bits here and there.

This was one of the worst aspects imo everything being replaced with the sane old uninspired MCU music was upsetting
Jayden Allen
Reminds me they added in the X vs Zero track into MvCI, and its so slow and lifeless, despite being the X series's equivalent of MM2's Wily castle theme, many remixes that kick the shit out of what Capcom made.
