Can MvC3 vanilla still be played online?

[Sea Of Thy Soul]

I'm thinking of temporarily swapping one of my ps3 games for my friend's copy of MvC3 (vanilla version). Problem is, I read an article awhile back stating that Capcom has lost Marvel licensing rights which means they can no longer make games based off of Marvel.

So does that mean they're discontinuing support for MvC3?

As an added bonus, watch this video it's hilarious!

You can, but it will be hard finding a match. A lot of people moved to UMVC3

Well, as it turns out, my friend had the Ultimate version!
