🪓 Title: Right Doesn’t Mean Righteous — Marvel, Capcom, and the Arc Betrayal

09 Jun, 2025

They say competition breeds excellence. But sometimes it just exposes who was never valued in the first place.

Marvel didn’t get stolen from Capcom. Capcom didn’t fumble a “relationship.” What happened with Marvel Tōkon is simple:

Marvel wanted flash. ArcSys delivered flash. Capcom built the temple, but forgot to light the fire.

Let’s be real. Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite wasn’t just a miss—it was an apology wrapped in missed potential. No X-Men. No visual juice. No soul. And Marvel? They walked.

Straight into Arc System Works’ arms.

And Arc didn’t ask permission. They showed up with Dragon Ball FighterZ receipts, Guilty Gear visuals, and swagger like they never lost a round.

So Marvel said yes. Not because Arc loved them better— but because Arc performed better.

But just because something is “right” on paper, doesn’t make it righteous in spirit.

Capcom made the legacy. Capcom carved the path. Capcom gave us MvC2—one of the most chaotic, beloved, busted-yet-beautiful tag fighters in existence.

And Marvel dropped them like they were never kings.

No handshake. No final round. Just silence. That’s not competition. That’s abandonment.

So here’s the part that matters:

If you’re still holding onto nostalgia for that old Capcom x Marvel spark? Let it go. Wipe your hands.

Marvel made their move. And Capcom doesn’t need to chase. Because when spite turns into strategy?

That’s when Capcom claws back—with SNK on one arm, and a revenge game that erases timelines.

So no, it’s not betrayal.

It’s a reset.

Let Marvel have their flash.

Let ArcSys cook.

But when Capcom returns? We won’t call it a comeback.

We’ll call it reclamation.
