The reasons for this new release are many. One, although the predecessor was fun to play with for both novice and expert players, there were many issues related to it. These included the unstable characters such as the Dark Phoenix who was very powerful, the combo glitch that let you run a series of moves that did a lot of damage and the online module that was unresponsive.

And although the aforementioned issues could have been resolved by running a patch, Capcom decided to come out with a newer version of the game that includes some new extra characters and a few more game modes as well. The plus point is that it is launched at a cheaper price compared to its predecessor minus all the hindering bugs.

There are twelve new characters in the new version. Half from the Marvel’s roster and the rest from Capcom’s. The quirkiest entry from all the characters in the game is the lawyer Phoenix Wright from Capcom’s comical Ace Attorney series. This character just seems to bumble across the screen but if in the right hands he becomes a devastating addition to the gallery of heroes, monsters, villains and aliens. From the Marvel’s line-up we have Dr Strange, Ghost Rider and Iron Fist. These characters may not be household names but they definitely do add variety to the roster.

Each and every fighter in the game is one of its kinds and you could find yourself spending a lot of time just mastering the moves of a single character.

From all the new game modes, the biggest attraction is the Heroes and Heralds mode. In this mode you can create your ultimate three character team and gain ability cards that give your team special powers such as invisibility and speed boosts.

This game can be played by a single player offline or you can go online to gain the multiplayer experience. This game is apt for fans who love action packed games. The game might be a tad too boring for a casual player. The game much like its predecessor is highly suitable for novices and expert fighting veterans.

The responsive controls and configurations make it a lot of fun to play with. The imagery of the game is done in a super wide color palette. The game is quite similar to the older version but all the new additions make it very entertaining and fun.

Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is definitely for the entire fighting game fan crowd. If you haven’t played the earlier versions of the game then you should definitely take a look at the Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3. You can skip this release if you’ve played the earlier version of Marvel Vs Capcom 3.

Riot Games regularly keep updating the game with new hero characters and recently they updated it with new playable hero characters. The most recent hero in the game is Graves the Outlaw.

About Graves, the Outlaw

According to the game’s back story, Graves shares a litigious past with the card-tossing gangster hero – Twisted Fate. Apparently both of these characters were previously card sharks and grifters who found their match in each other. They, then went on to become partners for some time until Twisted Fate made a deal behind Graves back to surrender him to the authorities in exchange for greater power. Graves was taken in custody and only lately escaped. He now wants to take his revenge with Twisted Fate, who was his only friend in the world.

Graves, the Outlaw has the following powers:

1. True Grit – The longer he remains in battle, he will gain resistance towards magic and an increase in his armor.

2. Smokes Screen – During combat, Graves can fire a smoke canister at a desired area. It then creates a cloud of smoke limiting the visibility and sight range of his enemies which will reflect on the speed of their movement, giving Graves an upper hand.
3. Quickdraw – When he dashes forward, he gains an attack speed boost for a number of seconds. He is able to attack his enemies at a speed lower the cool down timer.
4. Buckshot – Graves has the power to fire three bullets in a cone, destroying all the enemies that come in the path of the projectiles of the bullets. Enemies at a close range can be harmed by multiple projectiles, but each enemy beyond the first will be dealt with reduced damage.
5. Collateral Damage – Graves can fire an explosive shell that causes heavy damage to the first object it hits. After beating a champion or reaching the end of its range, the shell blows up and causes damage in a cone at the back of the target.

In this game, timing is what matters a lot. Releasing the shot too early or late will increase the chances of missing the target.
