, character selection, and stage selection screens have been redesigned. In addition, many returning characters receive balancing changes, which include new moves and animation tweaks. ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' uses the same simplified, three-button control scheme of undefined light, medium, and heavy attacks introduced in ''Fate of Two Worlds''. The "exchange button", used to launch opponents into the air and switch between characters while performing air combos, returns. The aerial exchange feature has been altered in ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3''; players can either remove meter from their opponent's Hyper Combo gauge, add meter to their own gauge, or simply deal more damage. The "X-Factor" mechanic, which grants increased damage output, speed, and health regeneration for a limited time, also reappears from ''Fate of Two Worlds''. In ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'', the attack and speed boosts for each character while using X-Factor have been adjusted. X-Factor can now be used while in the air, as opposed to the previous game, in which activation was restricted to characters on the ground.

, Capcom announced that an updated version of ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds'' was under development. The update, titled ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'', would add new characters, stages, modes, and other enhancements to improve the game's balance and online functionality. According to Capcom, many new features and refinements, such as the addition of a spectator mode and tweaks to X-Factor, were the results of fan feedback. At the 2011 Tokyo Game Show, Capcom video game producer, Yoshinori Ono, would later announce that the game would also be released as a launch title for the PlayStation Vita. The handheld edition promised to contain the same content as the console versions, in addition to touchscreen control support. After the release of ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds'', the game's development team had plans to release more downloadable content. However, after the

, in addition to staff health issues, delayed the development schedule, producer Ryota Niitsuma and his team decided to release the proposed DLC, along with rebalanced gameplay and other additions, as a separate installment. As a result, the makeup of ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' is split "about half and half" between DLC meant for ''Fate of Two Worlds'' and brand new content. Character selection was a collaborative process between Capcom and Marvel. According to Seth Killian, a former community manager for Capcom, Marvel presented a list of their own characters that they were interested in seeing in ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3''. Capcom then provided input regarding moveset possibilities in order to reach a consensus. Each company also had their own set of interests and priorities. Marvel characters, such as Rocket Raccoon and Nova, were chosen to cross-promote upcoming products. On the other hand, Capcom sought to bring more diversity into the cast. For example, Capcom wanted a monster-like character that could fight while in the air, leading to the inclusion of Firebrand.
