With Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite being released to the general gaming public next week, it was only a matter of time for an Honest Game Trailer to be uploaded on YouTube. Lo and behold, the folks at Smosh Games did just that, with their latest video poking fun at this revered series.

This video briefly touches on the history of the series, starting with X-Men vs. Street Fighter all the way up to the latest yet-unreleased game — satirically criticizing the trademark fast-paced gameplay, the odd Capcom character choices, and even so far as to address the recent controversies with MvC:I; suggesting we start playing another fighting game series instead. Check out the video if you want a good laugh!

Check it out below.
