The one thing I found interesting, though, is how much more positive (or less negative) the reaction was to SSFIV's announcement relative to Ultimate. I think it largely had to do with the unexpected stigma of releasing it in the same year as the original game. Ultimate was released exactly nine months after the original MvC3, but both hit in 2011. SSFIV was released 14 months after its original game, obviously in the next year. I guess that made a difference.
SF4 was the game that broke Capcom out of it's fighting game drought, and was low budget (just look at the last Capcom fighter released, Fighting Jam.) so people were more accepting that the game could be improved since SF4 was the game that made the money to convince Capcom's higher ups that fighting games weren't dead so a super version was reasonable. By the time MvC3 came out Capcom's fighting game staff had huge budgets so UMvC3 didn't need to be made when they clearly have the money to make a complete game now.
Capcom went from throwing bones to milking the teat till it's bruised in 4 years.
