What started as an effort to add more to the image generator/screenshot maker’s Marvel vs. Capcom 1 ending options turned into a Secret Wars update with some new sprites. Basically the theme was a secret even to myself while I was working on most of it.
Custom Sprites – Marvel Comics: Black Costume Spider-Man (in the #8 cover by Mike Zeck), Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter (debuted in the series), Absorbing Man (all-new sprite, different style from the 2015 sprite), the Wrecker, and Volcana (also debuted in the series)
mini-logos – Marvel: the Wrecker
The new sprites and mini-logos were added to the GFX Image Generators, which was used to make the image at the top of this post. New options were added to the Marvel vs. Capcom ending found in the fight-size generator.
– backgrounds: a rocky Battleworld stage based on two ads for the toyline
– frames: Marvel Super Heroes arcade ending, and a new custom Secret Wars frame.
– sprite layouts: a new “beat ’em up – 2 players” option, used in the pic at the top of this post.
Coincidentally, Capcom’s MSH line-up features 6 (Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, Doctor Doom, Magneto) of the 8 characters that made up the Mattel Secret Wars toyline’s first year. That stray thought started the whole chain that led to nearly everything in this update.
I’ll be one of the guests on the the Dire’s Place YouTube stream this Saturday, and the topic will be 90s cartoons! The cartoon I chose to talk about has one of the characters from this update!
