* Among many other changes to Frank's moveset, his Real Mega Buster move has been removed. Many fans wondered for the reason - but shortly thereafter, his DLC costume is revealed; it's him in the Mega Man X costume from ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' games.

* 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 PaulDobson has voiced Magneto in the past.

* Arthur recognizes Iron Man and Doctor Doom as knights in his intro. Sure, they both use ornate armors, but why Arthur calls them so is deeper than that... If you remember [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomquest the Doomquest ministory]][[hottip:*:in which Iron Man and Doom are accidentally transported to the Middle Ages]], Arthur's intro now makes much more sense. Especially because there's someone named Arthur in Middle Ages too.

** To add to this, the first ''VideoGame/DinoCrisis'' features the insignia of [[Franchise/ResidentEvil 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 ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' series (note that Shinji Mikami was involved in all three series, so the nods could be [[AuthorAppeal intentional]]). Additionally, Hewie of ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'' is the dog Leon rescues from a bear trap early on in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''. 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.

** Considering that ''Street Fighter'', ''VideoGame/FinalFight'', ''VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters'', ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando'', and possibly ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' [[SharedUniverse are set in the same timeline]] and there were multi-series cameos as early back as Ken's ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 2'' [[http://capcom.wikia.com/wiki/File:StreetFighterAlpha2-USA%28Ken%29.png stage,]] the idea isn't quite as far-fetched as one may think. There have also been EpilepticTrees in the past linking together the more supernatural series (e.g. ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', ''Devil May Cry'', ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'', ''VideoGame/ChaosLegion'', etc.) and even ''VideoGame/{{Namco x Capcom}}'' rolled with the idea that the various series shared the same world but were separated by time and space.

**** I always thought she had a cloaker from X-Factor or Cyclopes.
* VideoGame/MegaMan 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 MarvelVSCapcom 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 MarvelVSCapcom. Laziness, indeed...

*** 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 VideoGame/MegaManX 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 PS3 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 {{Fandumb}})

*** Hell, they could have just gone the Zero route and gave him (at least) one Special Weapon from each main title. After all, he does have '''64''' different weapons to choose from, and that's excluding the X-Buster and some of his gizmos from ''Command Mission''. Add in the Ultimate Armor and its Nova Strike as hypers, give him the Hadouken and Shoryuken as nods to the first two games, and voila! It's simpler than most people think, and the same could have very been applied to the original Mega Man as well (whose moveset from ''[=MvC=]'' and ''[=MvC2=]'' was noted to be unsavory by the devs; notice that Jill was completely reworked from ''2'', so that argument doesn't hold water), if not ''better'', seeing as Classic's total ''is in excess of '''100''''' (and that's including misc. powerups like the Rush options and adapters).

** The penance stare burns the soul of anyone who has sinned. Everyone in the game has done something that could be considered a sin therefore their soul is effected.
*** [[HumongousMecha 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 [[TierInducedScrappy utterly]] [[http://www.platformnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/sentinel-vs-sentinel-3-fate-of-two-sentinels.png cheap]].

* 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.
** FridgeBrilliance: She-Hulk is a defense attorney as well. As for Iron Man, he probably heard 'lawyer' and jumped to conclusions.

* The whole "Your name's Zero? Hope you don't fight like one." is a reference to the first ''Mega Man X'' game, where Zero did in fact fight like a Zero. By blowing himself up to take out an enemy.

* 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 copies a lot of things off of other heroes. Including [[{{Wolverine}} voice]] [[SteveBlum actors]].

** 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 OneMoreDay.

*** Iron Fist is in to advertise his appearance in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon airing on Disney XD (which is also where Nova's DLC costume comes from.)

* The fact that Phoenix Wright has 2 different music themes plays into his personality. The standard theme sounds more held back compared to the other themes in the game, like how Wright appears to be a pretty calm guy outside the courtroom. However, get 3 pieces of good evidence and use an '''OBJECTION!''' move switches his theme to a more techno-based version of ''Cornered'', more fitting of a ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' game, just like how Phoenix goes from a calm dude to the HotBlooded attorney we know and love once he gets in court.
* Vergil's line to Dante "Sorry I was late for the party" makes for an interesting LampshadeHanging on his not appearing in the vanilla version.
* A lot of the powers Wright's evidence get in Trial Mode don't seem to be particulary conected with the actual evidence. The flower vase is an arc, the cellphone is a time-delayed projectile, the envelope is a bomb... wait... a bomb in an envelope? As in... [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_bomb a letter bomb?]]
** Alternatively, it could a MythologyGag to Viola's "love letters".
* Among many other changes to Frank's moveset, his Real Mega Buster move has been removed. Many fans wondered for the reason - but shortly thereafter, his DLC costume is revealed; it's him in the Mega Man X costume from DeadRising games.

* If one pays close attention to Dr. Strange and Dormammu's movesets, they will find that the two characters actually have rivaling moves. Both stack spells with QCB commands, teleport with reverse dragon punch commands (their teleports even have identical range and patterns), can both fly, both have a magical command normal that uses the f+H command and even have similar standing animations. Both characters also have a hyper that resembles the other's special, Strange's Spell of Vishanti resembling Dormammu's Purification, and Dorm's Stalk Flare resembling Strange's Eye of Agamatto, especially with the Impact Palm followup. Finally, take a good look at both character's level 3 hypers, particularly the commands and animations. It's interesting how the hero and his arch nemesis, being the rivals and foils they are, have such moveset duality.

* this is regarding taskmasters new move added to ultimate, sting master. It looks like nothing that a marvel hero that's well known recently does.... until you realize that just becase he is a marvel character, doesn't mean hes restricted to copying moves from his universe, which means he must have copied Dante 's Stinger!

**** In Phoenix Wright's ending in [[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate]], [[spoiler: Galactus is still alive and Wright's client. Based on this, I would just say that Galactus survives and just buggers off, generally speaking]].

** The fighters (most likely) remain their normal sizes. Galactus is a combination of YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm and YourSizeMayVary; his most common appearance is how he presents himself so that lesser beings in the Marvel universe can perceive him. His size (while always [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever large]]) is wildly inconsistent whenever he shows up, ranging from the size of skyscrapers to larger than the earth.

* The game's subtitled "''Fate of Two Worlds''"? That would mean the Marvel and Capcom worlds, right? So... ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', ''StreetFighter'', ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' and all of the other Capcom games all take place in the same continuity? That's... Pretty awesome, actually.
** Considering that ''Street Fighter'', ''VideoGame/FinalFight'', ''VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters'', ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando'', and possibly ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' [[SharedUniverse are set in the same timeline]] and there were multi-series cameos as early back as Ken's ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 2'' [[http://capcom.wikia.com/wiki/File:StreetFighterAlpha2-USA%28Ken%29.png stage]] [[hottip:*:see [[Characters/StreetFighter here]] for who's who]], the idea isn't quite as far-fetched as one may think. There have also been EpilepticTrees in the past linking together the more supernatural series (e.g. ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', ''Devil May Cry'', ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'', ''VideoGame/ChaosLegion'', etc.) and even ''VideoGame/{{Namco x Capcom}}'' rolled with the idea that the various series shared the same world but were separated by time and space.

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.
** The [=MvC=] universe is a parallel universe to the many MANY Marvel comics universes that blends elements of each of them (mainly 616 and Ultimate), it's not a big leap to assume it's also a parallel universe to all the Capcom games' respective universes that is a blend of each of them.

* It seems somewhat outta nowhere that [[FantasticFour Reed Richards]] recruited Frank West in the latter's ending to fight MarvelZombies. But then I realized, Capcom and Marvel is just playing with a small joke... [[spoiler:"Fantastic" is also one of Frank's memetic CatchPhrase.]]

* It ''is'' kind of odd that GhostRider's Penance Stare works on everyone, even good people/beings (Chun-Li, Amaterasu), and the insane (Deadpool). Sure, GameplayAndStorySegregation, but it's weird.

* GhostRider's motorbike hyper is named Spirit of Vengeance. Cool, but odd. But then there's the info about the Film/GhostRider movie, subtitled ''Spirit of Vengeance''. Thus, this proves that Marvel is [[ExecutiveMeddling doing their meddlings]] to advertise their characters.

** The MvC universe is a parallel universe to the many MANY Marvel comics universes that blends elements of each of them (mainly 616 and Ultimate), it's not a big leap to assume it's also a parallel universe to all the Capcom games' respective universes that is a blend of each of them.
