Marvel vs Capcom 4 is, despite the name, the 5th instalment in the Marvel vs Capcom series.
Plot[]
It's been a full year ever since the Marvel and Capcom worlds fused together, and the heroes of both worlds have been trying to keep it safe. Ever since Ultron Sigma was destroyed, X and Dante became Avengers, the X-Men returned from a inter-dimensional trip, Haggar is now the president of America, and Tony Stark joined with Dr. Light to create Stark Lite Machinery. It all seemed to be working out rather well until a series of attacks occur out of nowhere, with no reason or plot behind them.
Robot Masters from the past attacking cities, villains gaining huge power boosts, random villains and even heroes attacking, and to top it all of Albert Wesker has joined forces with Dr. Doom to unleash Shuma Gorath into the universe. With chaos all around, the Avengers and the Capcom Heroes unite again to defeat these threats once again. With the X-Men and Fantasic Four returning, along with the return of the old Mega Man, our heroes may stand a fighting chance...but can they defeat the man behind everything?
And how exactly is Deadpool connected to the disappearance of the Infinity Stones?
Gameplay[]
The game features the same tag-based team feature as previous installments of the series, where each player chooses two characters that can be swapped at any point during a match. It also utilizes an order selection called "Evolved Vs. Fighting System", a modified version of earlier systems seen in other Marvel/Capcom and Capcom vs. SNK crossover games. Like Marvel vs Capcom 3, which features four attack buttons separated as two pairs of low and high-strength punches and kicks, Marvel vs. Capcom 4 uses a simplified, three-button control scheme of undefined low, medium, and high attacks. In order to win, you must defeat both of the other teams opponents via depleting their health with attacks, combos, or hyper combos.
Returning from Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is the X-Factor. When you get hit and your health depetes, bits of blue health will be left behind. The longer the combo the more blue health is left behind. Once you get hit the blue health goes away. Once you activate the X-Factor, not only do you slowley recover the blue health over time, but your character also gains a speed boost. A new mechanic is added called "X-Strike", where you can channel the power of the X-Factor to supercharge a Level 1 Hyper Combo, boosting its damage for a single use but ending the X-Factor early.

Shin Shoryuken Lv. 3 Hyper |
Ryu delivers a powerful Shoryuken to the opponent's mid-section, which then follows up with another equally powered strike with the alternating fist (depending on which fist was used to lead the first strike), which is then branched with the fully performed Shoryuken uppercut. |

Shichisei Ranka Lv. 3 Hyper |
Chun-Li does a Spinning Bird Kick that launches the enemy into the air, and will then do a Tenshou Kyaku followed by a Hazanshu that smashes the enemy into the ground with a large flash. It has an invincible start up, making it a good way to punish projectiles for big damage. |
