Uh....compared to other games in the franchise Tvs.C still sold well, and got good reviews. So it's not a flop.

If you knew the history of the Vs. series you'd know it had problems in the past, the PS1 X-Men vs SF and MSH vs SF were heavily gimped versions with major important features missing, MvC1 was released only on Dreamcast, a console that didn't sell well and died, MvC2 faced a problem of Capcom losing the Marvel rights so it wasn't allowed to be sold for very long.

The only Vs. games that have ever released without problems are TvC and MvC3, and TvC sold very badly in comparison to MvC3.  Comparing either to past Vs titles is a broken comparison.

Maybe, I'm not huge on fighters so I don't know the history of the vs. series.

So are you saying that every Vs. game is a flop except Mvs.C3? I disagree, I think Cvs.T did well considering that T..... isn't a brand seen outside of Japan, and it's a hardcore Wii game by non Nintendo devs.
