History Fridge / MarvelVsCapcomInfinite

* The usage of the Power and Time Gems in the announcement trailer. The Power Gem was first introduced in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', and the trailer for the [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 sequel]] came out the same day as the trailer, while the Time Gem was introduced in ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'', which was the latest MCU movie at the time of the trailer's release.

* Thanos calls out both Iron Man and Dr. Light for creating bloodstained legacies in the name of peace, claiming that Thanos is not so different from both of them. For Tony, it's attacking other superheroes due to paranoia that his armor schematics might be copied, being brainwashed and controlled by Kang the Conqueror, created an a.i. armor with [[{{Yandere}} unhealthy tendencies]] which included raping Jocasta, RobotGirl and fellow Avenger to Tony, made several attempts of killing Stark himself, and joining forces with Ultron into brainwashing a benevolent cult based on Stark's mentor and father figure Ho Yinsen, had his morality inverted by Red Onslaught and infected people with an Extremis-Symbiote hybrid virus, and participating in two superhero civil wars which left them vulnerable to Skrulls, Norman Osborn, and Hydra. For Thomas, it's the creation of X himself which leads him to be imperfectly copied, which leads to the Maverick problems that also included Sigma, which led to the Maverick Wars, which led to the Cyber Elf Wars and the second Maverick Wars, which led to the creation of Biometals with its own brand of problems and by the time of Mega Man Legends, "baseline" humanity is all but extinct and replaced by [[ArtificialHumans Carbons]] yet there are remnants of humanity who want Earth back in the worst way possible.

** The "Comicbook/DaysOfFuturePast" poster from ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3FateOfTwoWorlds'' is possibly canon now.

* While X's arsenal of Special Weapons may be small, there's actually a deeper reason why his Special Weapons were chosen as part of his moveset. With the exception of the Boomerang Cutter, all of X's Special Weapons were actually the weaknesses of Sigma's first forms in the games they appeared in (Sonic Slicer in X2, Frost Shield in X3, and Rising Fire in X4). [[spoiler:And, considering Ultron Sigma is the first form of the final boss...]]

** On a related note, given the name theme for Iron Man's specialty armors like Hulkbuster and Thorbuster, and X's ArmCannon - much less the one used by every Mega Man ever, what better name for the Infinity Stone-powered super weapon used against Ultron-Omega than the [[spoiler:Infinity Buster?]]

* [[spoiler: Why were Captain Marvel and Dante the ones used for the final battle?]] Aside from being two of the strongest characters of their respective universes, [[spoiler: Captain Marvel literally has the name "Marvel" on her name to represent Marvel and Dante has always been seen as one of Capcom's beloved characters. While Captain America and Ryu could have been poster boys of each side, and Iron Man and X are two of the most popular, the latter duo are busy and the former aren't strong enough to handle Ultron Omega (plus Ryu was drained of his Satsui no Hado powers). Captain Marvel and Dante, on the other hand, are not only representing both Marvel and Capcom, but their powers are more than a match for Ultron Omega. That and Dante was the one that manages to turn the tide of the battle by ''giving Ultron-Sigma the Soul Stone'' only to have it backfire on Ultron-Sigma.]]
** [[spoiler: As a way to extend on this idea, Iron Man and X ultimately end Ultron Omega, the two most popular characters on each respective universe. It's also fitting that the two most technologically advanced heroes would defeat the two most technologically advanced villains; all more so considering the rivalry both heroes have with each half of Ultron-Omega.]]

* Back when's the DLC episodes of Asura's Wrath came out, many people thought that Evil Ryu taking on Asura was horribly stretching how strong the former was. [[spoiler: With how Thanos completely ignores the '''''Infinity Stones''''' after acquiring the Satsui No Hado, which he deems enough to ''kill Mistress Death'', it's not so unbelievable now to think that Ryu can take on Asura.]] Which is also kind of a FridgeHorror since Ryu was effectively a ticking time bomb until he obtained the Mu No Ken (Power of Nothingness).
* Ultron-Sigma looks to be mostly Ultron with Sigma's features and a small amount of his moves tacked in. The story mode then gives a reason: [[spoiler:Their first step of merging was done by Ultron contracting Sigma Virus. So yes, the base body IS Ultron to begin with, with Sigma's traits coming after.]]
* Ultron's winquote is "I am the summit of perfection in this universe." Now what is "summit" usually called in math terms? [[spoiler:It's Sigma.]]

!! FridgeHorror

** He does end up with the Soul Stone during story mode. [[spoiler:He uses it to infuse a corrupted klyntar with the souls of the million killed by Ultron and Sigma when they merged their worlds together.]]
* So, by the end, [[EsotericHappyEnding exactly how screwed is everything?]], considering [[spoiler: Thanos, a PhysicalGod, has the '''SATSUI NO HADOU''' (and is confident enough in it's powers that he feels he can kill Death herself)]].
** [[spoiler: How confident is he about the Satsui no Hado? He tosses aside the Infinity Stones to allow the heroes to use against Ultron-Sigma. You know, the Infinity Stones, the things he once used to almost destroy the universe!]]

** Remember the “Days of Future Past” poster from the third? It’s basically canon now.

* Thanos calls out both Iron Man and Dr. Light for creating bloodstained legacies in the name of peace, claiming that Thanos is NotSoDifferent with the both of them. For Tony, it's attacking other superheroes due to paranoia that his armor schematics might be copied, being brainwashed and controlled by Kang the Conqueror, created an a.i. armor with [[{{Yandere}} unhealthy tendencies]] which included raping Jocasta, RobotGirl and fellow Avenger to Tony, made several attempts of killing Stark himself, and joining forces with Ultron into brainwashing a benevolent cult based on Stark's mentor and father figure Ho Yinsen, had his morality inverted by Red Onslaught and infected people with an Extremis-Symbiote hybrid virus, and participating in two superhero civil wars which left them vulnerable to Skrulls, Norman Osborn, and Hydra.

* Captain America states that they have all lost allies and friends. Now think of the Capcom and Marvel characters that don't appear in this game. How many of them don't because they're dead?

* On a related note, given the name theme for Iron Man's specialty armors like Hulkbuster and Thorbuster, and X's ArmCannon, what better name for the Infinity Stone-powered super weapon used against Ultron-Omega than the [[spoiler:Infinity Buster?]]

[[spoiler:And, considering Ultron Sigma is the first form of the final boss...]]

* In the official character guide videos, X and Zero are paired with the Mind Stone. Fitting considering they're robots who have autonomous thinking. It also helps that in their native games, both have special features that affect the Sigma Virus's effect on them. X's brain has special circuits that make him impossible to infect (in games where it's attempted, he just takes damage, instead). Zero has immunity due to being the virus's original vector.

** He does end up with the Soul Stone during story mode. [[spoiler:He uses it to infuse Venom with the souls of the million killed by Ultron and Sigma when they merged their worlds together.]]

* Ultron and Sigma being the perfect match for each other: both were created by human scientists with limited grasps in robotics, dangerous, impossible to kill, returns no matter what, a hellbent desire to wipe out all organic life and rule with metallic lifeforms. Seems like a match made in hell.

!! FridgeLogic
* [[spoiler:So how DOES the Sigma Virus, a rather contagious computer virus, have the ability to possess organic life when neither Ultron or Sigma have the power to do that?]]
** He DOES have the Reality Stone, so he may have used it to alter or enhance its effects.
* Wait, how did [[spoiler: Dante manage to pass the Soul Stone to Ultron-Sigma without anyone sensing him?]]
** The SOUL Stone cloaks him.
* Throughout the Marvel [[TheMultiverse Multiverse]], each of its universes are [[SharedUniverse Shared Universes]] where Marvel characters coexist and meet up on a very regular basis, but that same universe concept isn't so cut and dry for Capcom. Some of the Capcom characters are clearly from different time periods. Comparing [[VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins Arthur]] [[MedievalEuropeanFantasy and Firebrand]] to [[VideoGame/MegaManX X, Zero,]] [[TheFuture and Sigma]] is one example. Even among the characters from more modern settings, the state of their worlds contradict one another[[note]]For example, [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Chris and Nemesis]] are from a world where viral outbreaks have caused turmoil around the Earth, yet something this particular and of this magnitude is never seen in any other Capcom series in a modern setting, except for ''VideoGame/DeadRising''[[/note]]. In addition, ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' have been confirmed to actually share a universe, yet the appearances of Ryu and Haggar in ''[=MvCI=]'' don't match up[[note]]The former's appearance is from the more modern day ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' (or ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'', since it takes place after ''V'') and the latter still looks the same way he did in the 80s during the original ''Final Fight'' game[[/note]]. So, how can there possibly be a Shared Universe for the Capcom characters when they shouldn't be able to coexist for several reasons? The idea of a Capcom Multiverse makes far more sense.
** Jedah actually explains that [[spoiler: towards Death where in his universe, heroes cannot die and so he wants to balance both life and death.]] It's in fact the reason ''why'' the plot even happens in the first place. Hiryu actually confirms this towards Gamora in that he's been fighting Grandmaster Meio for a thousand years before the plot point happens. Though ''why'' [[spoiler: heroes can never truly die in his world]] is a FridgeLogic in and of itself as he never explains that part.
*** This still doesn't explain why the Capcom characters that are very likely from different universes are implied to live in the same one.
** Sigma has the [[ComicBook/MegaMan Unity Engine]] in his lab. That device was used in ''Worlds Unite'' to unite Capcom worlds together. Likely Ultron Sigma uses that along with their two stones to do the same with Marvel world.
** It seems as though the key factor separating most of the Capcom franchises are the varying time periods, and even then at least two of them (for example ''Darkstalkers'' and ''Devil May Cry'') already have events that take place from the past to the present.
* [[spoiler:After the defeat of Ultron Omega, how is it that the Reality Stone stays cracked? Shouldn't have they have used one of the other stones (mainly the Time Stone to rewind it back to a form of mint-condition) in order to repair it in some way?]]
** The Infinity Stones cannot affect one another (comic book lore).
* How come that the Reality Stone resides in Capcom's world ''before'' the two universes merge? The game doesn't seem to explain it.
** While it's true the game doesn't explain it, there are a few possibilities. Most likely Death gave it to Jedah (who was the one to breach the dimensions in the first place) who planted it in Abel City for the plan to work. Another possibility is the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide Worlds Collide]] situation. We know that Thanos has almost destroyed the Marvel universe multiple times with the Infinity Stones. It could be that a previous defeat has caused the stones to scatter in a way that one of them breached the dimension itself, like the blue Chaos Emerald did.

* [[spoiler: How come Grandmaster Meio went down easily despite being one of the most difficult final bosses in Capcom history and didn't call on his own minions like Solo, The Four Winds, or Juroung or summoned creatures to deal with the heroes?]]
** [[spoiler: He placed his bets on a reprogrammed Zero to deal with the opposition. Ultron-Sigma never bothered to tell Meio that X has experience on deprogramming Zero.]]

** As far as I can remember, out of the [[spoiler: six Infinity Stones, Reality is the most powerful, so perhaps damaging the Reality Stone sort of messed with the fabric of reality to the point where even the Time Stone couldn't fix the damage?]]
