Next year is going to be a crazy one for fighting games, as Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls and Invincible VS are coming out in 2026. These are both superhero-based team fighters with unique mechanics and incredible visuals, which is why fans are excited for them.
With both of these games coming out next year, one has to wonder: can Invincible VS compete with Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls?
Having two team fighters coming out in the same year has everyone either raising an eyebrow or beaming with excitement. The fact that they’re both so different is also getting people talking, as they show what can be done with this genre.
But can they both co-exist in the same year? The answer is yes, but let’s explore that further.
Gonna Take You For a Ride
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has the clear advantage since this is a team-based fighter with a franchise that is often associated with it. It wasn’t that long ago when we got the Marvel vs Capcom collection, which is why the hype for this new Arc System Works game is so strong. The fact that it has unique mechanics also allows this game to step out of its predecessors’ shadow.
Rather than just switching between fighters on the fly, Fighting Souls will make players work for extra characters. They will need to use a stage transition to get one character and then do the same thing for their last one. With each character added, more health and special meter are also added. It’s unique and will help Tokon stand out from the competition.
Bottom line: don’t be surprised if this game ends up selling and reviewing really well.
I Feel Invincible
On the other side of the corner is Invincible VS, which is less flashy but also looks more focused. Unlike Tokon, which forces players to use stage transitions, this game looks more inspired by the classic Marvel vs Capcom games, but with killer combos and parries. It’s a great-looking game, even if the visuals aren’t on par with Marvel Tokon’s.
Even if the graphics aren’t up to snuff, there’s a lot about Invincible VS that looks like an FGC fan’s dream. The insane combos and tricks available in this game are amazing to witness, so expect this to get a lot of tournament play. It might not start as a best-selling game, but we see this becoming an underrated gem.
Both games should be able to stand out, regardless of whether Invincible VS is better than Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls or vice-versa. Options are important, and gamers having two excellent fighters to try out next year is just great for everyone overall.
