DLC costume glitch patched out of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Well there goes the Magneto costume.

Now all they have to do is fix Xbox online issues with co-op for sf x tekken. Oh wait that won't get them any money.

so they react quickly to things that are quote on quote unfair to them and cost them money but don't do the same for there fans and or costumers feel the same way about dlc.......im going to say this the most polite way possible..............FU*K U CAPCOM!

I saw the patch just a few min ago and kinda freaked out. We've got a tournament this weekend and I was frantically going through all the characters I knew and testing their bnbs. Thank goodness it was only something like this. Sadly, spencer still has his up grapple unscaled ;_;

SWAGNETO :(

cool, now fix MvC3's online like how people have been asking since day 1 vanilla

Well, since that costume is out, how about a suggestion Capcom? Onslaught.

Well... i stoped playing it online on the first week, still lags a lot even with nearby friends. So i'll not update the game, will still play it offline, and will keep doing the glitch, cause i won't spend more money to buy the Alt costumes

Capcom, you're capitalists out of this world!
Sincerly everyone!

@anabolisChris I'm starting to see why you troll on these games so hard. Capcom used to be my hero :/ starting to lose respect..... fast.

As soon as I saw players doing this on stream in a tournament I knew the party was over :(

I've lost all respect for capcom.

This was actually a 19MB download on PS3. Wonder why it's different.

#10 well at least this was an eye opener for you. Better late than never.

Capcom hasn't been the same for years. This is why I always say: "I love the games, not the company." Capcom I have lost all respect for you. And yeah, let someone come in here and say we're bitching. Do you honestly find this fair? Really? No patch for the online has been noted for Street Fighter X Tekken, and it's somewhat unplayable most of the time. It's not just the sound. Some people can't even connect. Yet, and still, you patch a costume glitch for a costume you took out because you felt it was insulting or some crap? No, this is not how a company is supposed to be. This is BS to the highest level. And yeah, I may be raging, but look at this. It took these guys merging with Namco to actually do something right for a change, because I'm sorry, UMvC3 just isn't fun anymore. You know what, let me stop before someone comes in and starts defending these bastards. I'm done. This news has saddened me.

I understand the legal issue here, but at least they should've the courtesy of adding another costume for Eric Magnus. To make up for it.

This is a different team from SFxT, of course that team has the ability and time to patch this in. That should've been common knowledge =/

This doesn't bother me, people shouldn't be exploiting a glitch while others have paid for it.

SFxT is a different issue altogether though, and I have different opinions on that, but that is irrelevant.

As I said, I've lost all respect for Capcom. For a some time now, I have only bought games out of the love of the characters and the games themselves, not the company. I won't deprive myself of my childhood games and so on just because the company that makes them is a bunch of idiots. To add to companies that are making a comeback and smarter decisions, SEGA is also listening to their fans. So yeah, f&%$ you Capcom. Ugghh...I hate raging...

I know they are different teams and everything, but patching this and not the Co-op thing in sfxt? This is BS.
Stupid capcom is stupid.

Ha! They even patched the Vita versions.... Both English and Japan versions. Slick Cappycom.

I'm not defending all of Capcom's actions, but you do realise they took this costume out for legal reasons, and not just to piss you off, right? Leaving this in would have left open the possibility of legal action against Capcom. If it was you, would you like to have a possible lawsuit hanging over your head? Best case scenario - lawsuit makes them take the costume out anyway, worst case - it costs them money, time, other resources, and they still have to take the costume out.

It is a shame that the coolest costume in the game happened to be the one that had to go, but deal with it and stop acting like whiney fμcking children with all the "OMG CRAPCOM! Y U SO MEAN! Y U SO NO LISTEN FANS!?! I HAZ NO RESTECP N E MORZ!". Don't think for a second that any other company wouldn't have done the exact same thing, if you do, you're a naive child who hasn't learnt how the world works yet.

There are no legal issues. Nobody sued or even threatened suit over anything.

Actually, there are. Spain itself would have sued Capcom for leaving that costume in for people to use because it looks like the king of Spain.

Just don't download the patch scrubs. There is no gameplay or balance implications with the patch just DON'T DONWLOAD IT. You can have Swagneto forever. What would you rather do? Play UMVC3 online(Which sucks)? Or always have access to all the DLC costumes. Since I do not play online the choice is easy for me.

this. I can't agree more.

Just look up the 'House of M' controversy from Spain.

@26, maybe you should try reading the article. Being asked and being legally forced are completely different concepts.

The royal family filed no injunction against Marvel, despite the fact that the book still shipped with the image. Which is probably why nobody batted an eye when either the capcom or marvel side proposed using it for the game.

Capcom backed down to save face. The end.

@28 An article is in no way a primary source. The Spanish gov't had expressed disdain over using the image of their monarch in such a way--not just in the game but also in regards to his image being used in the House of M comics. Allowing gamers to freely use this costume could create potential consequences, sure they could let it slide and decide to be risk-takers, but for a game they've already moved past, I don't think it's worth poking at.

So many pathetic comments in this thread... All of you who seriously think Capcom should not have patched a glitch that could even cause them legal issues should honestly start to grow up a little.

It's a matter of priority. Why didn't they just completely remove it? They already know hackers are out there, do you honestly think I wouldn't have taken it out right after discovering this legal action? No, I would have removed it the MOMENT this was brought up. But go ahead, call everyone whining children. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Not that I care what anyone thinks of me.

@31 What...are you talking about? Their goal was to remove it. They (the UMVC3 team) didn't think it was an issue until the public found out about it--remember, the costumes were kept a secret until they were announced. By the time Spain's gov't even expressed a hint of dislike, it was already "too late".

And if you're asking why didn't they remove it earlier, that is even easier to answer. You can't remove data on someone's disk, but you can block the general public from exploiting a glitch. Even with a patch, you can still hack the data off the disk, but only a small and insignificant minority even cares to do so.

@32 Little Big Planet would like a word with you.

@33 Little Big Planet is a title built for its console. Regardless, it's irrelevant to this issue.

^And those two said all I needed to say.

Man capcom moves quick where their money is concerned, but to everything else they'll let you go suck a d**k.

@34 no it is rrelevant. When they fould a tune that would not blow over with the muslim community, they had massive recalls, delaying the game just so they wouldn't upset anyone. Media molecule went the extra step, along with the patch

@37 It's irrelevant because the title was delayed--the process was stopped before it got out and was able to be fixed. In this case, the only way for Capcom to remove the data is to get all of the physical disks back.

when they announced that they were going to patch this out, I bought the complete costume pack. (part of the problem, I know lol)

So your saying the spanishleader or spaniards or whatever saw the content after the release cause I'm almost positive the costumes were revealed before hand, with the leaks and whatnot.

@40 As if the Spanish gov't followed the UMVC3 hype train. Of course they received word of it much later than gamers did. Regardless, the costume itself was never released, so it was never an issue with the exception of this glitch.

@Jtir123, Marvel HAD to be consulted on all things regarding character appearance in the game, period. Before it was on the disc, before it was revealed to the public, before it was even modeled on some Capcom PC. So either Marvel pitched it and Capcom knew nothing about the controversy, or Capcom pitched it and someone at Marvel looked the other way. Either way, it was known (by the Marvel guys who have to legally approve) that this costume was being used again.

Regardless, as Marvel mentioned in their defense during House of M, artists do this all the time, either as tribute or parody because (in america anyway) its probably protected under free speech. Spain just took it the wrong way, and people like you turned a molehill into a mountain.

@42 I didn't make it a big issue. Neither did Spain. They disliked the idea, therefore it was withheld. You don't need them to sue you before you know to not do it.

Just like you don't need a bear to maul to know that it's dangerous, it's the same case here. When the government of an entire country feels negatively towards what you're doing, it's best to step off.

Could be major or minor consequences, but would you have risked it?

The logic is strong in here today. Why can't we have more logical thinkers everyday other then people constantly complaining about the same thing

Meh I could barely get it to work anyways

@43, you're missing the point. The costume was already approved, capcom made it months, they had meetings about it, maybe years ago. It had already happened before (House of M), and Marvel still green lit it.

@46 Doesn't mean it won't pose a problem. Why would Capcom accept Marvel's approval over Spain's disdain?

And what was your point anyway? I don't see how what you just said and what you said previously refutes any of my arguments.

So they patch this out but still leave in game changing glitches like Spencer's unscaled up-grapple? GG capcom. Least you could do was patch the costume glitch out for all the characters EXCEPT Magneto.

It's funny how Capcom can't patch infinites and other dumb stuff that are important to the gameplay in sfxtk but as soon as they know people can use content they didn't paid(even though it's on the disc) they patch it as fast as they can. Capcom certainly knows how to run their business.

A FRICKIN COUNTRY had a prob with this costume of course its gonna get patched as fast as f*cking possible.

The only thing really pathetic here is that Cashcom hurried to patch this so that people would instead buy this crap but can't be bother to fix actual problems because it makes them no money.

Yeah because you guys accessing content for free that other people have paid for isn't a problem?

@#52 its has nothing to do with it being a problem, becuase CLEARLY they are both problems. people are bitching because capcom is only patching the thing that lost them money.

I do not play this game online so I'm not going to patch it... the costumes will remain all mine forever! FOR FREE!

@53
People are bitching at the wrong dev team.

The ignorance in here is out of control. Spain never complained about Mags alt. They never even batted an eye lash at it. Capcom removed the costume for fear of controversy that never happened and WOULDN'T have happened. Spain never had a problem with Mag's House of M uniform, they had a problem with ONE picture which was clearly in direct copy right infringement of a picture the King once took.

http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/...

That was it. House of M was released in Spain and across the world and Magneto is seen wearing that outfit many times and Spain and the King had no problem with it. They never even contacted Capcom about the alt. Capcom just removed the alt cause they thought it"might" bring up controversy but it wouldn't have considering the outfit was NEVER the cause of the controversy to begin with it was ONE picture which was clearly copy right infringement.

@56 It's not ONLY the pic...I'd like to see your sources. It's frowned upon because a power hungry dictator is dressed up as the king of Spain.

It's clearly satire, but some people did not find it funny at all.

Magneto's its a dictator? Probably he tried to create his own nation or country but he was not a dictator :S.

House of M spoiler? Kinda-sorta.

Remove Magneto's alt due to possible legal action? Okay fine.
Not make a replacement? LMAO Lazygreedcom.

I guess Turdcom forgot the whole concept of "brand loyalty".

Looks like I got all of the card in H&H just in time. I don't play UMVC3 online that often anymore. I don't think I'll be downloading any patches. :p

While I fully understand taking out a costume that offends a world leader, I don't understand why Capcom can't whip up a replacement costume. I mean, it's the LEAST they should do. Why should WE have to suffer for THEIR mistake?

And we can plainly see how fast and hard they work on fixing something that affects them and their money. Since 2011, I've really been getting disillusioned about Capcom. I don't think they care about their consumers as much as they say they do. =/

I like how they patch this but not the broken characters or add any dlc. the only reason cashcom patched it is so they dont lose money. You see how fast they are to fix this but not characters.

The only reason i supported this glitch was so my friend could use the magneto costume he loved. I already paid for all the other costumes so it didn't matter to me.

I don't understand why capcom is technically taking mmore money from us by not releasing the magneto costume (i believe the pack is priced the same) and yet they'll patch it in a second as soon as they find they could be in trouble or losing money, such a selfish act.

They have the model done already, why dont they just edit it with some colours and have magneto randomly wearing a tux, it's legit

I'm sad I didn't know about this :( That song at the end was almost as bad as the combos.
@#4 Don't take that away I need that :(

@65

The pack that originally had Mag's costume in it was discounted. I don't know about the complete pack, though.

nice support cap when your games are broke you dont do crap but when they cost you to lose money all of a sudden there is fast action

@60 They can't make a replacement beause the "DLC" is already on the disc and making a replacement will require extra developing and distribution costs and we now know how lazy and greedy Capcom is after all the DLC fiasco of SFxT

I hope Capcom gets bought out.

Can't have people accessing content they already own now. Oh ho ho ho no.

hurry up and take my soul d3!
