Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Looks Like A Dream Come True… Unless You’re A Marvel Vs Capcom Fan
We’re Not Gonna Be Taken For A Ride Any Time Soon
When Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls was revealed,it was easy to initially think that it was the grand return of Marvel vs. Capcomthanks to its tag-fighting gameplay and gorgeous style. However, the presence of Arc System Works and complete lack of Capcom fighters quickly made it clear that it was a new thing altogether.
While thereisroom for more than one Marvel tag-fighter in the world,Marvel vs. Capcom fans have pretty much lost hope for MvC4 ever happeningnow Tokon has taken the spotlight. After the game’s reveal,fans flooded social media to share memes of Marvel and Capcom splitting up(among with some more cheeky jokes), and share their thoughts about what’s happened.
It’s especially gutting for Marvel vs. Capcom fans considering how many hints andteases have been thrown around about a potential fourth game lately.
The takeaway is that Marvel vs. Capcom 4 isn’t going to be a reality any time soonwith Arc System Works now taking Marvel for a ride. Considering how the last game in the series, Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, was received, that’s not too much of a surprise,but fans have made their thoughts and feelings very clear.
There is a silver lining to the whole situation, though. While Marvel vs. Capcom fans are gutted about seemingly not getting a new game anytime soon,everyone at least agrees that Tokon looks incredible and exactly what we all wanted. And hey, maybe we’ll see Capcom team up with another brand in the future and a new rivalry will begin.
