  • The Cameo: Many characters from both Marvel and Capcom universes make appearances in the endings and stages:
  • Fan Nickname:
    • "Maximum Wesker" for Phantom Dance, one of Wesker's hypers (where he starts pinballing off the walls), because it resembles Spider-Man's Maximum Spider. It doesn't help that the two characters were revealed at the same time. Lampshaded by Deadpool in his new win-screen quote against Spider-Man in Ultimate.
    • Maximum Vergil - Vergil's Dimension Slash, for the same reason.

Deadpool: "Hey, did you know that Wesker guy stole your Maximum Spider move? You were doing that back in Marvel Super Heroes! So...Gonna go kick his ass? Can I watch?"

"What am I gonna do now that I've won? I'm going to Disneyland, AND I DON'T CARE WHAT THE COURT ORDER SAYS!"

"Look at me, ma! Ha ha ha ha ha ha LOOK AT ME!"

"Hey, how come I don't get Scarlett Johansson?"[35]

"Hey Spidey! Remember how your webbing can't touch windows? Just like how you couldn't touch me?"

      • Also, Deadpool was said to sing some lines of Michael Jackson's songs to match his moonwalking, but out of fear of being sued, the idea was cut out.
      • Deadpool had quite a number of zingers against Spider-Man, including how Spidey's fighting ability sucks almost as bad as his Broadway musical.
      • Spider-Man's pre-battle line for Ryu:

"Hey, Karate Kid! Ralph Macchio called; he wants his look back!"[36]

      • This can also be seen with earlier builds of the game. Many of Deadpool's quotes were revised[37], Iron Man's assist quote was originally "It's on you now." instead of "Excuse me!", Dormammu actually called out "Floating Bomb!" for his Stalking Flare hyper instead of "I summon the power!", and an exchange between Dante and Morrigan (which would have been a Mythology Gag to Nevan's "Well now, aren't you a handsome devil." line to Dante in Devil May Cry 3) was cut, among others. There are also a few unused voice clips found in the Sound Test (such as Zero's reaction to being K.O.-ed via chip damage or a light attack and an alternate victory quote for when Dormammu defeats Shuma-Gorath).
    • A stage based around Okami was considered, but was dropped due to clashes with the art style in the game. The theme for the stage was finished however, and is actually still in the game disc.

  25. Toshiyuki Morikawa (Dante) was Ryu in Street Fighter Alpha 3, Capcom vs. SNK Millennium Fight 2000 and CvS2, and Namco X Capcom, while Atsuko Tanaka voiced Chun-Li in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future. They were respectively darrin'd in Street Fighter IV by Hiroki Takahashi and Fumiko Orikasa. A similiar thing happened in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars, where Tekkaman Blade (also voiced by Morikawa) could do battle with Ryu (Takahashi again).
  26. Kosuke Toriumi (Wright) voiced Hiryu in all previous appearances, but Yuji Ueda takes over as Hiryu in Ultimate.
  27. Rikiya Koyama does the voice of Frank West in the game and Wolverine in the latter's anime series.
  28. Chun-Li is Rukia Kuchiki, and Zero is her big brother Byakuya.
  29. They're both voiced by Reuben Langdon.

  34. all but Jill, Phoenix Wright and Zero retain the same (English) voices in Japanese
  35. Admittedly, that one ain't exactly applicable anymore. Maybe he just got sick of the accent.
  36. Funny thing is, Wolverine actually calls Ryu "Karate Kid" in the comic that accompanied the pre-order editions.
  37. "I love me some guns!" > "Have gun, will shoot!"; "Pineapple!" > "Pineapple surprise!"; "BANG! BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG!" > "Hell yeah! I hear bullets taste just like chicken, ha ha!" (which went back to the original quote in the final release due to fan backlash)
