The official launch of the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is cause for celebration. Despite it seeming impossible previously, somehow Capcom and Marvel managed to come together to bring back several classic Versus series fighting games to modern platforms with the latest and greatest fighting game features.
This series holds a very special place in the hearts of many, and a group of fans have all come together to show just how important this compilation’s release is to them. A staggering 29 different artists have contributed to a collaborative Marvel vs. Capcom fan art piece that pays tribute to the series’ marvelous cast of colorful combatants.
This tremendous artwork was shared on Twitter by UncleRed. The spread of talented artists that took the time to contribute here is large, and we have included each of the tweets below that not only tag each artist, but also list out which characters they illustrated.
The art piece as a whole takes inspiration from the classic Marvel vs. Capcom 2 artwork that sees both sides of representatives squaring off against each other. On the left we have all of Capcom’s characters at the ready, while on the right Marvel’s heroes and villains prepare for battle.
What makes this piece special is that each artist portrayed their characters in their own style making for an awesome melting pot of various different talents. This is not unlike the Marvel vs. Capcom series itself, which pits an assortment of characters from all walks of life into the ring together making something beautiful and beloved.
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is available digitally right now on PlayStation 4 (can be played on PS5), PC, and Nintendo Switch. A physical version of the game will follow on November 22, and Xbox One users will see the digital release on their platform sometime in 2025.
Check out the full collaborative Marvel vs. Capcom art piece below and be sure to support your favorite artists of the bunch.
