REVIEW:
Shuma Gorath is a very obscure Marvel character, I hadn't even heard about him before his appearance in the game; and I was a pretty big Marvel fan growing up. For some odd reason, Team Capcom thought Shuma would go over well in a 2D fighting game. He's got some interesting moves, and... he's a giant, walking squid... Lulz. Not much more to say really. I think they could've picked a better Marvel character than Shuma to put in the game, but at least he offers some distinct variety.
