Assuming that video isn't just an incredibly well done fake, how in the everloving fuck did they even get that far without every corporation on the planet sending lawyers after them?
I mean, I hate fighting games, and even I want this to come out as an actual game. I mean MvC does pretty well, why not go all out and just do em all?
Too many people would have their fingers on the same proverbial pie. Plus, there would probably be a lot of bitching over some characters being lower tier than others, etc.
This is indeed a real game that's been worked on for years now, and features a staggering amount of characters. But like you said, it'll be a miracle if they can get this out without pissing someone off.
The amount of work put into it blows me away. The sprite animation is fantastic.

I'm competing in an online racing series (linked in my sig) in rFactor; we just started our season back on the 20th. Logitech is sponsoring it and offering up well over $2000 in prizes at the end of the season.
We're doing multi-class endurance racing. If you've watched events like the 12 hours at Sebring or the 24 hours at LeMans then you know what I'm talking about.
I took the win in my class (LM-P2) in our season opener, a 2.5 hour race at Sebring with time compression enabled so we'd race both during the day and at night.
This is the final pass for the win - "Pumbaa" is the driver I'm chasing for the lead. In the final part of the race we swapped the lead between us a few times, with me making the last pass here.
He went too deep into the hairpin on the first part of the lap and then lost it in traffic near the end. He told me afterward he just folded under the pressure. :P

They got freaking KOS-MOS in there.
So far there have been a ridiculous number of MUGEN characters either ripped wholesale from other fighting games, or made by dudes but still clearly based off of IP's (like the above two).
So far they haven't been sued into oblivion, but things like that have never really been "official" as such, never released for money IIRC, and MUGEN in general's often maintained a fairly low profile.
I remember once there was MUGEN thread here years ago, but it was closed down pretty fast because you guessed it, you can't really talk about it without going into all the sprite rips and the massive copyright infringement.
For those that don't know, MUGEN's a freeware fighting game engine that allows you to make your own 2D fighters. Naturally this means it also allows you to rip character sprites and use them wholesale to create character sets that anyone can download and insert into their fighting game.
You think MvC is a blowout party? Like the video shows you can have pretty much anything from anywhere, and an awful lot of custom made characters who are none-the-less 2D fighting game representations of popular characters.
It's not all that way. There are quite a few indie 2D fighters that use MUGEN IIRC. But since there's the possibility of using the engine to create the ultimate dream match fighting games, it's not really a surprise that people use it that way. The Incredible Hulk vs Robert Garcia from KoF? Why not?

No matter how many times I see this scene, it still makes me laugh my head off. Me and a buddy just bawled out in co-op.

I like Dwayne and Brando more than BrentalFloss. Their songs tend to be long and epic.

These are pretty great.
I just about lost it on the one where the guy lands perfectly on the bench. The pose is just so casual and chill.

They need to seriously tweak the damage/HP, but this is looking real awesome.
I'll be surprised if it gets finished before one of these companies puts out a C&D, though.

I had some skate 3 videos of "stupid shit", but I cant figure out how to find them on the skate site. Thats a great community site there, EA.
