* In Dormammu's original ending, the Capcom villains are helping him take over, with [[Franchise/{{Darkstalkers}} Lord Raptor]] calling him 'Master'. But in his home series, Raptor has already tried to kill one superior once he was done drawing power from them. It wouldn't be surprising for him to try that again.

* [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]] didn't get in because they feared that they couldn't think of new moves for him. Or at least 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...

** In a very Meta example, Zero got in over VideoGame/MegaMan. Zero was meant to be the main character of ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' (or, at least, X was designed as a red robot with long blond hair, which becomes Zero's design), but ExecutiveMeddling reared its ugly head. And now the opposite happened. Triples as a case of {{Irony}} and HilariousInHindsight.

** Should Galactus actually be killed, his body will release a {{Sealed|EvilInACan}} UltimateEvil [[SealedEvilInACan In A Can]] named Abraxas [[OmnicidalManiac 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''. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice going, heroes!]] You really ''have'' doomed the world!

** Connected to the whole two worlds thing: how do the characters readily exhibit knowledge of the other universe when Galactus merges them? There's Dormammu and Ghost Rider being familiar with [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Mundus]] when fighting any of the ''Devil May Cry'' characters, Crimson Viper knowing about A.I.M., Ryu and Akuma knowing about K'un-Lun as well as the latter knowing ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}} when fighting Wolverine. Not to mention Frank West wanting to send pics of Spidey to the Daily Bugle, Rocket Raccoon ribbing both Chris and Wesker for the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Raccoon City]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Incident]], Chun-Li accusing Doctor Doom of dealing with both [[StreetFighter Shadaloo and S.I.N.]], Spencer supposedly hearing stories of Captain America from back in the day...

* Several characters end up breaking the fourth wall by [[CameraAbuse beating the crap out of the cameraman]][[note]]Deadpool starts ranting and grabs the camera, Wesker chokes him, Super-Skrull curbstomps the camera, Jill prepares a syringe, Nemesis lashes one of his tentacles out, Rocket Raccoon holds up a knife to the camera[[/note]]. However, since the "cameraman" doesn't necessarily exist since he's a part of the fourth wall (and none of the above characters [[NoFourthWall save Deadpool]] have fourth-wall destroying powers), there has to be some other explanation. The supposed cameraman is apparently the ''beaten opponent''. It is more evident in the winposes of [[CoupDeGrace Super-Skrull,]] [[ChokeHolds Wesker]] and [[KnifeNut Rocket Raccoon.]]

* 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.

* Why would Vergil need Muramasa to hurt Wolverine? Muramasa can negate Wolvie's HealingFactor. Knowing Vergil, however, he'd likely want to go for something more absolute (especially if you keep in mind the events of ''[=DMC3=]'', where the guy he thought he killed really wasn't dead). Besides, being a power-seeking samurai-esque swordsman, he was more interested in Muramasa and its powers than he was in killing Wolverine. It was only because Logan stood between him and the sword that Vergil struck him down.

!!FridgeLogic
* The game's subtitled "''Fate of Two Worlds''"? That would mean the Marvel and Capcom worlds, right? So... ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' and all of the other Capcom games all take place in the same continuity? That's... Pretty awesome, actually.

** 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'' and the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 Tricell]] logo can be seen on various billboards in Ascension City from the 2009 ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' sequel. 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.
*** That makes sense, especially if you were to look at it from a game design standpoint. As much as possible, Capcom would like to garner publicity for the game by taking the most popular elements of all franchises involved, so it will make the portrayals easy to understand for those who aren't totally familiar with the source material.
** Connected to the whole two worlds thing: how do the characters readily exhibit knowledge of the other universe when Galactus merges them? There's Dormammu and Ghost Rider being familiar with [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Mundus]] when fighting any of the ''Devil May Cry'' characters, Crimson Viper knowing about A.I.M., Ryu and Akuma knowing about K'un-Lun as well as the latter knowing ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}} when fighting Wolverine.

* Both the Marvel and Capcom universes are in danger, correct? Then why does Galactus only devour one planet? Unless the two worlds merged, shouldn't the ''other'' universe still be intact?
** To be fair, though, in the ending artwork for Galactus' ending, he is shown devouring both worlds...
** It's quite possible that the Fate of Two Worlds stage takes place outside either one of the Marvel or Capcom Earths, which may depend on your team. For example, one can say that a team consisting of Spider-Man, Deadpool and Dante would fight Galactus outside the Marvel Earth simply because there are more representatives from that universe.
* 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 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. Hell, this can also count for Shuma-Gorath, who is still counted as a regular fighter.
** 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''.
** It's implied from her attack calling and inspection of her "invisibility" after the hyper that she's actually burrowing underground. Still somewhat confusing, though.
*** Then how do you explain her jumping attacks while invisible?
*** Well, she simply jumps out from the underground. That's what I can get.
** 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?
*** I always thought she had a cloaker from X-Factor or Cyclops.
** Alternatively, she is simply moving very fast.

** 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 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. At least people wouldn't have complained about that (outside of the pure FanDumb).
*** 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.
*** That's why people were annoyed that he got over X. Zero got a nice spotlight in ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom''. He doesn't need any more than that, really (plus he has his own game series). X never got a ''Vs.'' appearance.
*** It would also be easy to make X a unique character, by giving him an "[[StanceSystem Armor Change]]" move. The different armors would have different play styles: [[{{Flight}} Falcon]], [[MightyGlacier Gaea]], [[CoolSword Blade]], [[{{Ninja}} Shadow]], [[SuperMode Ultimate]].
*** 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'' excluding misc. powerups like the Rush options and adapters).
* So with the fight against Galactus, pray do tell HOW exactly are they breathing '''IN SPACE'''!?
** [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Because]] {{Batman can|BreatheInSpace}}? You got me.
* It ''is'' kind of odd that Comicbook/GhostRider's Penance Stare works on everyone, even good people/beings (Chun-Li, Amaterasu), and the insane (Deadpool). Sure, GameplayAndStorySegregation, but it's weird.
** 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 [[VideoGame/{{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 committed 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.]]
* 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...
** Since Hulk in ''[=MvC3=]'' is the Classic incarnation of the character (i.e. the childlike one that hates his alter-ego) as opposed to the GeniusBruiser Merged Hulk from prior games, Hawkeye was likely referring solely to Hulk, not Bruce.
* 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 Attorney. 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.
* Why would Vergil need Muramasa to hurt Wolverine? Yamato cuts dimensions perfectly well...
** Muramasa can negate Wolvie's HealingFactor. Yamato cannot.
** True, but Rebellion [[AllThereInTheManual can apparently cut through anything in the material plane]] (if that ability carried over to the Marvel universe, that'd likely include adamantium) and Yamato is sharper to the point of being able to cut through dimensions, so all you'd really need to do is decapitate Wolverine and keep his head away from the rest of the his body, effectively killing him. Knowing Vergil, however, he'd likely want to go for something more absolute (especially if you keep in mind the events of ''[=DMC3=]'', where the guy he thought he killed really wasn't dead). Besides, being a power-seeking samurai-esque swordsman, he was more interested in Muramasa and its powers than he was in killing Wolverine. It was only because Logan stood between him and the sword that Vergil struck him down.

!!FridgeBrilliance

* A lot of fans were upset that [[VideoGame/BionicCommando Nathan Spencer]] had his [[JustForPun 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.]]
* 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.

*** Not to mention the Zeroes Jets mentioned in the YMMV page.

* Taskmaster's theme sounds ''very'' heroic. Considering [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor who]] [[OnlyInItForTheMoney he]] [[PunchClockVillain is]], it [[SoundtrackDissonance 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 isn't evil. He's a villain a lot, but he's just a mercenary. A lot of times he's hired to train people, as his powers let him copy a wide variety of fighting styles and techniques. Even his endings for both versions of the game has him making money by releasing work-out videos. His titles also reference his job as a trainer. His theme isn't heroic, it gets you pumped for exercise.
* In a very Meta example, Zero got in over VideoGame/MegaMan. Zero was meant to be the main character of ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' (or, at least, X was designed as a red robot with long blond hair, which becomes Zero's design), but ExecutiveMeddling reared its ugly head. And now the opposite happened. Triples as a case of {{Irony}} and HilariousInHindsight.
* You might be wondering why Tron's post-fight TrashTalk after winning against Zero asks him where [=MegaMan=] Volnutt is. Remember ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom''? 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 [[https://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!

* I heard somewhere that Marvel would only let the ComicBook/FantasticFour be used in a game if all four of them were together, and wondered why Capcom didn't just put them in one of the games. Then I tried playing as Super-Skrull and it hit me: They were trying to save space, and given that Super-Skrull has the powers of all four FF members to some extent, this was their way of both getting them in the game and saving slots!
* Comicbook/DoctorStrange 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...
* ''ComicBook/{{Ultimate|Marvel}}'' version of Nick Fury appears in C. Viper's ending. Most people saw it as odd, especially because this universe (Earth-30847) is based off of the mainline Earth-616. But then the UpdatedRerelease come out with the name '''''Ultimate''' [=MvC3=]'', and now it makes sense.

** And in his ending, notice the contract Trish holds up? It's the same one that was used to erase the marriage of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson in ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay''.
*** 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 ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} is in next year's ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' 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.
*** 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).
*** Iron Fist also appeared in said Avengers cartoon, alongside fellow Hero For Hire Luke Cage.
* The fact that Phoenix Wright has two 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.

* A lot of the powers Wright's evidence get in Trial Mode don't seem to be particularly connected 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 during the transition between ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'' and ''Ultimate MVC 3'', 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.

* Several characters end up breaking the fourth wall by [[CameraAbuse beating the crap out of the cameraman]] (Examples: Deadpool starts ranting and grabs the camera, Wesker chokes him, Super-Skrull curbstomps the camera, Jill prepares a syringe, Nemesis lashes one of his tentacles out, Rocket Raccoon holds up a knife to the camera). However, since the "cameraman" doesn't necessarily exist since he's a part of the fourth wall (and none of the above characters [[NoFourthWall save Deadpool]] have fourth-wall destroying powers), there has to be some other explanation. Then looking at the winposes one more time (especially in how they break the fourth wall), I noticed something: the supposed cameraman is apparently the ''beaten opponent''. It is more evident in the winposes of [[CoupDeGrace Super-Skrull,]] [[ChokeHolds Wesker]] and [[KnifeNut Rocket Raccoon.]]
** In Super-Skrull's winscreen, once he steps on, well, whoever that is he's stepping on, you see broken glass. It's probably a cameraman.
** That's your television/computer screen, meaning ''you're'' the one on the receiving end of all this punishment. Yes indeed -- guide Wesker to a win and he'll still catch you in a NeckLift, just ForTheEvulz.
* How does Phoenix Wright stand up to foes with super-human powers? He can't. He's bluffing his way to victory, just like in court.
** Similarly, he holds his head after jumping because he is afraid of heights, just like in the fifth case of Trials and Tribulations.
* So, how does drinking booze give Frank double EXP when taking pics? He's probably drunk. Don't you think pictures you took yourself would look better to you when you're drunk?

* Normally, whenever someone gets KO'd by chip damage or while still standing, instead of the usual KO scream, they will spit out a soft spoken blurb. However, aside from Iron Fist, Zero is the only one that ALWAYS uses the same KO voice. Discounting that [[DummiedOut he actually does have a "soft KO" voice in the Gallery]], the main reason could be that Zero being KO'd results in CriticalExistenceFailure by explosion, which would probably hurt a whole hell of a lot more than to warrant a simple "Oh no, I got beat" type of reaction.

* It seems somewhat outta nowhere that [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Reed Richards]] recruited Frank West in the latter's ending to fight ComicBook/MarvelZombies. But then I realized, Capcom and Marvel is just playing with a small joke... "Fantastic" is also one of Frank's memetic CatchPhrase.
* Spider-Man's post-battle quip against Frank West about (accidentally) destroying the latter's camera may be a regular after-asskicking one liner for Spidey. It makes a lot more sense if Spidey finished the fight with his Maximum Spider HC, since the final hit sends the opponent straight down to earth. In Frank's case, the impact would have probably smashed his camera if he were the final point man.
* Phoenix Wright's reveal trailer ends with him defeating Dr. Doom with the Ace Attorney Hyper Combo. This may be a joke or reference to Doom's ability to evade the legal system due to diplomatic immunity, as well as the game Ace Attorney Investigations, where overruling diplomatic immunity was a major plot point.
* Wright's ending where he's in court as Galactus' defense lawyer can be seen at first as both a joke and weird as to why Phoenix would be defending someone like Galactus in court. Then you remember that, while Galactus was indeed trying to devour both worlds, he was provoked into doing so by the actions of Wesker, Doom and the other super villains, and suddenly Wright's choosing to be Galactus' attorney isn't so outlandish anymore, especially considering that Galactus isn't truly evil (nor is he truly good but still.)
** You could think of Wright's ending as a companion piece to [[http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Games/M/Marvel%20vs%20Capcom%203/Everything%20Else/Cameos/MvCend_Chris--article_image.jpg Chris's Ending]], where Matt Murdock is prosecuting Wesker. You could go even further and say that the two mentioned lawyers are working the exact same case (as the Defense and Prosecution, respectively) if you ignore the courtrooms looking nothing alike.

* Phoenix Wright's playstyle, what moves are available to him, and how they function are perfect reenactments of his home series.
** In Investigation Mode; Phoenix spends most of it just searching for evidence much like in his home series. It is also in this mode where the specials involving Maya are available, reflecting how Maya usually helps in Phoenix's investigations.
** In Trial Mode; the Maya-related specials not being accessible could relate to how during a trial, Maya is mostly just Phoenix's co-counsel and thus unable to do much. Her super still being able to be used in this mode could represent her directly interfering in court, much like what she did in the first game when Phoenix defended Miles Edgeworth. In addition, Phoenix's "Order in the Court" Hyper sending him back in Investigation Mode could reflect the judge extending the trial and telling Phoenix to continue his investigation, as reflected on how the super destroys any bad evidence Phoenix may have when the Hyper Combo was used.

!!FridgeHorror

** 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|EvilInACan}} UltimateEvil [[SealedEvilInACan In A Can]] named Abraxas [[OmnicidalManiac 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''. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero 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.
*** In Phoenix Wright's ending in ''[[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate]]'', Galactus is still alive and Wright's client. Based on this, I would just say that Galactus survives and just buggers off, generally speaking.
*** Plus keeping in mind the events of ''ComicBook/AgeOfUltron'', where Galactus buggers off to the ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' universe.

** Then again, how would a zombie even be able to puncture Hulk's skin?
** And would the virus even survive Hulk's healing factor?
** Plus the fact that at least in-gameplay, zombie bites NEVER do anything to you aside from damage?

* 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 Creator/PaulDobson has voiced Magneto in the past.

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

* 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?]]

''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', ''Franchise/DevilMayCry'' and all of the other Capcom games all take place in the same continuity? That's... Pretty awesome, actually.

** Connected to the whole two worlds thing: how do the characters readily exhibit knowledge of the other universe when Galactus merges them? There's Dormammu and Ghost Rider being familiar with [[Franchise/DevilMayCry Mundus]] when fighting any of the ''Devil May Cry'' characters, Crimson Viper knowing about A.I.M., Ryu and Akuma knowing about K'un-Lun as well as the latter knowing ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}} when fighting Wolverine. Not to mention Frank West wanting to send pics of Spidey to the Daily Bugle, Rocket Raccoon ribbing both Chris and Wesker for the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Raccoon City]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Incident]], Chun-Li accusing Doctor Doom of dealing with both [[StreetFighter Shadaloo and S.I.N.]], Spencer supposedly hearing stories of Captain America from back in the day...

Hell, this can also count for Shuma-Gorath.

* In the "Days of Future Past" stage, Mega Man is the only character who has not been slain or apprehended. Considering he's fought a wide variety of killer robots, fighting and avoiding Sentinels should be right up his alley.

** Seeing as ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} is in next year's ''Film/TheAvengers'' 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.

** Connected to the whole two worlds thing: how do the characters readily exhibit knowledge of the other universe when Galactus merges them? There's Dormammu and Ghost Rider being familiar with [[Franchise/DevilMayCry Mundus]], Crimson Viper knowing about A.I.M., Ryu and Akuma knowing about K'un-Lun as well as the latter knowing [[XMen Apocalypse.]] Not to mention Frank West wanting to send pics of Spidey to the Daily Bugle, Rocket Raccoon ribbing both Chris and Wesker for the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Raccoon City]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Incident]], Chun-Li accusing Doctor Doom of dealing with both [[StreetFighter Shadaloo and S.I.N.]], Spencer supposedly hearing stories of Captain America from back in the day...

*** Plus keeping in mind the events of AgeOfUltron, where Galactus buggers off to the ''UltimateMarvel'' universe.

* It seems somewhat outta nowhere that [[ComicBook/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.]]

* The game's subtitled "''Fate of Two Worlds''"? That would mean the Marvel and Capcom worlds, right? So... ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' and all of the other Capcom games all take place in the same continuity? That's... Pretty awesome, actually.

* ''{{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 UpdatedRerelease come out with the name '''''Ultimate''' [=MvC3=]'', and now it makes sense.
