Introduction
Welcome to Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3! This is the fourth installment of the Marvel vs Capcom series and contains 47 achievements for 1000. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is an updated version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, featuring 12 new characters, 9 new stages, Heroes and Heralds Mode, and updated gameplay. The gameplay of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is largely similar to that of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Players select a team of three different characters to fight a one-on-one battle. The game utilizes the same tag-team feature as its predecessor, where a player may choose to swap between their three characters at any point during a match. The goal is to use various attacks to exhaust the opponent’s health meter and defeat the entire enemy team or have the most cumulative health when the timer runs out. The game also uses the simplified, three-button control scheme of undefined light, medium, and heavy attacks introduced in the previous installment. While the core mechanics remain the same, a number of aesthetic changes have been made in the update, including new character and stage select screens.The game's HUD has also been redesigned along with many returning characters receiveing balancing changes. These include new moves and animation tweaks for certain characters. In addition, Galactus Mode has been added to the game which can be played via pressing + + while Arcade Mode is highlighted. You will then be pitted aginst 6 teams of 3 and you must defeat them all as Galactus. A required ending for an achievement can also be obtained through completion of this new mode.
The achievements in Ultimate are very similar to the previous game only more time consuming. Most should be no more difficult than the last game but instead take up more time than before. You must also spend 30 hours in offline and online play which makes this game quite the grind. Mission Mode has also returned with an even bulkier array of combo trials. A fightpad or arcade stick are not required to complete the game but is recommended for those experienced with one. There's nothing wrong with using a standard 360 controller, whatever you're comfortable with.
Note: Similarly to the previous Marvel game most achievements do NOT unlock straight away. They've been known to unlock well into the next round or after the match at times.
Step 1:
Arcade (Offline Mode)
Just like the previous game you will be spending quite a bit of time in Arcade Mode if you are going for the full 1000. You must complete the game with all 49 characters for Waiting for the Trade and view their endings for the gallery which will be one step to getting Comic Collector. A lot of move and combo achievements can be gained in Arcade mode and if you turn Online Request on, you can even switch to Xbox Live if another player requests a game with you. The achievements that can be gained in Arcade Mode/Xbox Live are:
- The Best There Is
- Saving My Quarters
- The Points Do Matter
- High-Score Hero
- Above Average Joe (Arcade/Xbox LIVE)
- Mutant Master (Arcade/Xbox LIVE)
- Mega Buster (Arcade/Xbox LIVE)
- Advancing Guardian (Arcade/Xbox LIVE)
- A Friend in Need (Arcade/Xbox LIVE)
- First Strike (Arcade/Xbox LIVE)

- Hard Corps (Arcade/Xbox LIVE)
Step 2:
Mission Mode
Here we go again! Mission Mode has returned and with even more trials than the previous game! This is where the game starts to get really challenging as you must complete 10 missions for each of the 48 characters performing combos and special moves. They get progressively harder but usually the first 6 or so missions can be cleared with relative ease. A helpful tip when attempting some of these missions is if you ever make a mistake you can hit + to reset the mission to original position. This is the main aspect of the game that can trouble some players from getting the full 1000 if they're not familar with the fundamentals of the game. If you ever get frustrated with a mission it's always best to try another character mission and come back to it later! The DLC characters Shuma Gorath and Jill from the previous game can also help with this achievement as they have their own missions as well. The achievements that can be procured in Mission Mode are:
- Missions? Possible
- Up To The Challenge
- Master of Tasks
Step 3:
Xbox Live
A fair amount of miscellaneous achievements that can be unlocked in Arcade can be unlocked in Xbox Live as well. This means that you can boost them with a partner if you are having trouble getting them against the computer. There are also achievements for playing online for a certain amount of hours this time. The following achievements can only be unlocked online:
- Seductive Embrace
- Rivals Welcome
- Brave New World

- Dreaded Opponent
- Forged From Steel

- Incredible
- Need a Healing Factor
- Crazy Good

Step 4:
Miscellaneous
These achievements can be gained across any mode in Ultimate. Player Points can be gained by fighting in any mode. You must fight in every stage and also complete the gallery which requires a mix of Arcade and Mission Mode completion.

Conclusion
And there you have it, another re-hashed achievement list for an updated Capcom game. As you can see with all the new features added to the mix, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is and definitely was everything the original Marvel vs Capcom 3 game should have been! The game now feels much more balanced and is loads of fun trying out the new characters that have entered the fray. Online achievements are now even easier to boost and all the Arcade and miscellaneous achievements simply take time to unlock but no serious degree of skill. The 30 hour achievements for both online and offline mode make this 1000 a lengthy one, however you will work towards those while obtaining other achievements. The grueling Mission Mode and all 480 of its combo trials is where the difficulty factor comes in but don't get too discouraged! If you were able to do 320 missions last time you can surely do them again and with the exception of the extra ones. Completing Shuma Gorath and Jill missions can also give you some leeway. Please refer to the Vesper and Hyper Guides to input, buffer, cancel, and button mash your way to that "Marvelous" 1000 once again!
