ICYMI, an entire bunch of classic Capcom-made Marvel licenced fighting games, from X-Men: Children of the Atom to Marvel vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes. The Marvel vs Capcom has always been celebrated as a melting pot of eastern and western art, and it's interesting to see iconic American comic book characters juxtaposed against Japanese video game characters, as demonstrated in the brand new promotional artwork for the upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics:
Cyclops' and Ryu's heroic bromance is well documented at this point, and Captains America and Commando embody the ideal of justice within their respective universes. Psylocke and Chun Li are both Asian martial arts baddies, and Iron Man and Mega Man have somewhat similar tech-based combat prowess. But right in the center of the image, you can see Spider-Man face-to-face with Darkstalkers' signature slutty succubus Morrigan Aensland. What does a teenager from New York with the power to do whatever a spider can have in common with a 350 year old S class Scottish sex demon? I'll be damned if I know, but the way she looks like she'd rather be fuckin' than fighting has caused an uptick in crossover art and R34 since this artwork dropped.
There's no set release date just yet, but Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is scheduled to launch later this year. Are you guys looking forward to it? What do you make of Spidey banging Morrigan? Leave yout thoughts in the comments!
