It's Mahvel time thanks to Twitch, as the company partnered with fighting game community streamer and content creator Maximilian Christiansen, famously known as Maximilian Dood, to create a special Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 tournament.
UMvC3 has seen some of the most memorable moments in FGC history and is in the middle of a resurgence thanks to Parsec, a software that shares your PC display through the cloud, letting you play games as if you were offline.
To celebrate such a moment, and thanks to the enthusiasm of the Marvel loyalists, let's take a look at everything you need to know about the Twitch Rivals UMvC3 Live tournament.
