UMVC 3 is an amazing fighting game I recommend anyone in the space who hasn't played it play. The gameplay is easy to pick up hard to master. I'd say its balanced enough, sometimes low tiers show their roughness against bullcrap like phoenix, but then you got diamonds in the rough like phoenix... wright. All these characters feel great to play with enough diversity to not really need any other modes (though some may have been appreciated this game picks up the slack) I kinda suck at explaining why this game is good but once you play it instantly click to you why this is still played in evo. each character is different but still fun, combos feel rewarding, you can really feel a mastery with a character, it's just so good. amazing game, buy this over infinite even though i've never played infinite its that good. I'm not even that good at the game but its still worthwhile pick.
