Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Review by CAT “Mang Jollibee” FOOD

This is, without a doubt, the best fighting game of the last 20 years. It's up there with Guilty Gear XX Accent Core as a game that still has a cult following. Several characters are extremely broken in a good way (Morrigan, Zero, Vergil, Phoenix), and several others in a bad way (Phoenix Wright, Hsien-Ko, Jill, Iron Man), but 48/50 of the cast is viable in competitive play if you're willing to construct the appropriate team for them. That says a lot for a game with an enormous roster spanning generations of comics and games.

If you want to play online, however, download the Steam version as opposed to do this one. And don't play through the official servers, either: Google "umvc3 discord" and learn how to play on Parsec. The online play is much smoother and you can find competitors at all skill levels. So technically this is a review for the PC version, however the PS4 version (with its awful online play) is the one I sunk all my time into.
