History YMMV / MarvelSuperHeroesVsStreetFighter

* CriticalResearchFailure: Carried over from ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes'', ''orange'' and blue Spider-Man.

%% By definition, Cyber-Akuma can't be That One Boss because he's the final boss and, more importantly, he's an SNK Boss, meaning he's deliberately overpowered as opposed to difficult but fair.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Most serious players find the game to be [[SoOkayItsAverage stale and boring]] due to all the nerfs and balancing done to the game in reaction to [[YMMV/XMenVsStreetFighter the sheer insanity]] of the previous game. Also, despite all this, Wolverine is still broken. That said, the game maintains a respectable following overall. It wasn't until [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes the sequel]] that said sheer insanity returned.

* TheScrappy: The entire game itself is this for the franchise, at least among serious competitive players. Refer to {{Sequelitis}} below.

* GameBreaker: While a lot of the game seemed to be re-balanced from the prior installment, Wolverine can spam his jumping MP during a super jump to build meter rapidly, even without hitting anyone.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Though not hated, the game is usually criticized for being a thinly-veiled reskin of its predecessor, right down to reusing the same stages and even Apocalypse as a boss character (though now a sub-boss rather than the final one). This, coupled with the lack of new sprites (as with the exception of Norimaro, newcomers like Sakura, Omega Red and Dan just reused their sprites from the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' series or ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom'') and the fact that the game's "secret characters" like Comicbook/USAgent and Comicbook/{{Mephisto}} were all just simple {{Palette Swap}}s, has given rise to the perception that ''Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter'' was a lazy rush job.

** Dan's ending is a hilarious but clearly non-canonical spoof of ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting''. (Cyber-Akuma as Dan's ''[[LukeIAmYourFather father]]''?!) [[VideoGame/StreetFighterV About twenty years later]], it became a little less out there than originally portrayed thanks to Capcom [[CanonImmigrant canonizing]] his younger sister introduced in that scene. At this point, all that's left is for Capcom to hint at a connection between Akuma and Dan.

* HilariousInHindsight: This winquote from Cap sums it all:
--> ''"[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 M.O.D.O.K. is next on my list.]]"''
** Also, one of Zangief's winquotes:
--> ''"No one can compare to me. Not even a [[VideoGame/FinalFight mayor!]]"''
* MemeticMutation: Some of Webhead's lines, such as, "One for J.J.!" and "Do your job!" (or alternatively, "'''DO YOUR [[PrecisionFStrike GODDAMN]] JOB!'''") are minor memes in the community.

** As with most entries of the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' series, the entire OST qualifies. While many will agree that the original music for the characters who didn't have their usual {{Leitmotif}}s carried over lacked the staying power of said themes, virtually no one would ever say that the compositions weren't damned catchy.
