Marvel vs Capcom 2 PSN Thread

[BostonCollegeFan]

Since the 360 version had it's achievements listed (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/marvel-vs-capcom-2/achievements/), I figure we can discuss the soon to be announced PS3 version (which we all know will be vastly superior due to the DPad) :D.

Besides the game being shitty and unbalanced, I am looking forward to it, although I would've vastly perferred a Darkstalkers or Capcom vs SNK 2 over this, still, KINETIC CARD

[GodlyOne]

:drool: I have nothing else to say but that...

[lokizz]

how much is it going to sell for? and will it have online play? if they can release that why not powerstone 1 and 2 or the other marvel vs games?

[Lost_In_Shadows]

I don't care how much it will cost even if it is way up there I would buy it for the online play. Powerstone 2 would be awesome with online play.

[BostonCollegeFan]

Project Justice with online play....droooooolllll

[Thomas96]

I already have the game... I just want it for the online play!!!!

[cupcakex1]

If it's 19.99, I'm down with it. So I guess it's finally coming eh?

[Boeing 747]

This seems fishy to me, none of the achievement icons seem like a professional game.

I'm still skeptical on it.

Also is it just me or is Marvel vs Capcom 1 far better? The music was much better (actual theme songs rather then sort of generic techno)... it felt much more balanced, I really didn't like the 3 man team it seemed like time was always a factor for me, the stages also seemed more generic.

I mean other then the character list, there really wasn't much I really enjoyed out of 2.

[blackjaw]

T
I mean other then the character list, there really wasn't much I really enjoyed out of 2.

Blasphemer!

Until I actually get some sort of confirmation from Capcom or Sony/MS, this is just a nice fanboy rumor.

[punkmaggit]

Man am I glad I sold my PS2 copy not too long ago!

Except for the balancing issues and music I thought 2 was better. I liked the 3 character teams, as it allowed for more variety. If this release does come to fruition then I really hope they do something about the balancing of characters rather than a straight port. With all the available characters it gets pretty stale when everyone else only wants to play with Sentinel, Magneto, Dr. Doom, Iron Man and Cable.

[CrimsonPaw]

Wow, time to buy a PSN card then. This is a definite buy for me.

[starmask2k3]

would this be psp/ps3

[craigbezzle]

The d-pad argument is dying....who in their right mind doesn't have an arcade stick after SFIV?

[DarkKenpachi]

I will buy this game just for the online aspect. I still play my dreamcast version every now and then.

this is one fighting game that you don't need a stick for. and I will admit that 100 percent. as far as the sentinel,cable, iron man, magneto, dr. doom teams, though they are favorites, My favorite team is still
jill, strider, and juggernaut. substituting strider for guile here and there. also why is there no love for iceman? he doesn't take chip damage at all. lol

[Lynsanity]

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 group created on psnpals.com. It will be a while, but anyone that wants to join up, please do so now. We will probably have tournaments and prizes, etc. Depends on how the group members feel.

[BostonCollegeFan]

The d-pad argument is dying....who in their right mind doesn't have an arcade stick after SFIV?

Everyone who doesn't like arcade sticks? Or those who can't afford arcade sticks/ can't find them? The d-pad argument is still 100% valid, as not everyone likes sticks, nor not everyone has the exposable income to buy the sticks.


The same dude that thinks Harmonix killed his family.

Really? Personal attacks because i'm not the one who bashes a game without playing it? Really? STFU, child.

[whoknows]

Those of us who aren't millionaires.

[eastshore4]

The d-pad argument is dying....who in their right mind doesn't have an arcade stick after SFIV?

Hell, I don't even have SFIV! Plus everyone knows the trackball provides superior fighting control.

I'm certainly interested in the game... I was turned off at first by the game's "flavor"(sounds petty I know, but there's something off-putting about seeing a badly dubbed hulk cheesing in his victory pose while jazz techno pulses in the background), but this seems to be the best of the best in the 2D hyper fighting genre, and it'll definitely beat paying over $50 to try it out so I'm down. If it is coming out that is.

[BostonCollegeFan]

Please don't ever call this game the "best of the best". Ever. The only reason it's popular is because it's cheesy fun, but it involves no real strategy that something like CvsS2 or even the first MvsC offered.

[craigbezzle]

I built my own stick for less than $40.

[DarkKenpachi]

@boston: this is honestly one of the best fighting games there was ever made. there are lots of strategies for this game as well. this game forces you to adapt and learn quickly unlike the other games because of how people are ranked. for example if you don't know juggle combos or who works well with each other then you will quickly lose.

some people are put off by it because of how crazy it is, but if you played all street fighters and all the marvel games before this, then the progression is natural and amped up to the next level.

the real reason people are put off by this game is because some people lack creativity. and honestly I don't even see this game being the so called broken or overpowered as people say. only thing that annoys me is the damage servebot does with his special.

also the moves are so much easier to input on this game. all you have to do is do the circle motion and hit two punches.

final thought, this game is amazing at the end of the day with stick or a dpad.

so once this comes out, this will be my game for the next two months.

question: will we have to unlock everyone, colors, and boards like before or will everything be unlocked from the start? (i know it is speculation but I want to know what you guys think)


*side note* this game will help you in some of your street fighter 4 combos plus help you learn different mind games.

[BostonCollegeFan]

I agree it's good, but it's certainly not the best of the best (we all know that goes to Third Strike)

I built my own stick for less than $40.

Again, not all of us have that kind of money to throw around, nor the technical prowess to build a stick.

i dont use arcade sticks hell im surprised people actually need them. the dpad has always been good enough for fighting games imo if not better than a stick because it helps make some of the more complex direction movements easier to do accurately. and im with most people that mvc 2 was better than 1. the only thing i hated was how it got dumbed down to 4 buttons for the DC. I liked all the characters and the combos. marrow and cable and wolverine were the shit. still wish they would add deadpool to the games.

[BostonCollegeFan]

I use the analog sticks :X. Works more than well for the characters I play.

[smiggity]

The d-pad argument is dying....who in their right mind doesn't have an arcade stick after SFIV?

Those of us who dont like spending upwards of $100 for a single game

Those of us who aren't millionaires.

Beat me to it!

In all honesty, this is the only fighting game I have ever liked. I think because some of the moves are easier to pull off than other games

[metaly]

I would have preferred MvC 1 over this. CvS2 would be ideal and I'd probably pay full price if they added decent online.

Depending on how cheap this is I might give it a try. I could never get into it in the arcade.

to be honest at the end of the day sf4 is my favorite street fighter all around, though third strike(mental games) and sfa3(roster size) had some things I loved about both

I liked all the characters and the combos. marrow and cable and wolverine were the shit. still wish they would add deadpool to the games.

I agree with you about the dpad but coming to play sf4 and trying to do the player trials with some of those combos it just can't be done(well at least by me) I think mvc2 was better, simply because of the roster alone. it was dumbed down to 4 buttons for everybody. even in the arcade.

I use the analog sticks :X. Works more than well for the characters I play.

you know I actually completeed a few combos in sf4 by using the analog, it still feels very weird to me though in fighting games.

[Lynsanity]

I like the 4 buttons better than 6. I am happy this game is coming to the PS3. Worm, MvC2, heck all I need is Shenmue and this can be Dreamcast 2.

i wouldnt mind trying sf4 but itll be a while since i dont want to pay more than 20 for it. fighting games is another genre i was hoping would be better than it is now.

[js1]

I hope this is for real. I wonder if it will be a straight port or if it will be a "HD" enhanced like SF II? Either way I'm hopeful!

[BostonCollegeFan]

100% sure it won't be HD enhanced, as the rumored release date is July 16.

[metaly]

Yeah, that would probably take them years with a cast like MvC2's, considering how long it took just for SSF2T. Get ready for some vintage 1994 Morrigan action.

[62t]

I think they should have release all the VS games, starting with X men VS Street Fighter

[js1]

100% sure it won't be HD enhanced, as the rumored release date is July 16.

WOW! That's not that far away. I mean I still play MvC 2 on PS2 on my HD tv and it looks okay, but an HD "remix" would have been preferred.

[basilofbkrst]

The d-pad argument is dying....who in their right mind doesn't have an arcade stick after SFIV?

I have a friend who plays better on the 360 controller than on a stick, thus he has no reason to get one.

[gr8asianman]

...honestly I don't even see this game being the so called broken or overpowered as people say. only thing that annoys me is the damage servebot does with his special.

I take it you have never been on the receiving end of Magneto/Iron Man's infinite combo. Having to play 'who can get the infinite combo first' doesn't make the game enjoyable in my opinion. The whole Cable/Sentinel super juggling it a bit irritating as well, although not as broken.

[The Mana Knight]

The d-pad argument is dying....who in their right mind doesn't have an arcade stick after SFIV?I don't, and I honestly don't care to buy one. I have a PS3 and the PS3 D-pad works excellent for fighters (I've felt the PS controller is the 2nd best for fighters, after the Saturn pad).

I'm definitely getting the PS3 version. :D I sold my Dreamcast copy a while ago and kind of miss the game.:cry:
Those of us who dont like spending upwards of $100 for a single game

QFT.

[bornrunnin31]

I'll stick to my ps2 copy.

[option.iv]

If this game does come out, I expect the online experience to suck ass. ST and SF4 remain horrible online games. I know it's hard to retain the fast paced action of fighting games online, but all they really have to do is copy GGPO. I mean, they bought the rights to do so.

[QiG]

Is this official at all? It kinda seems like it'd be a big deal since it'd be the first PS2 game brought over to the PS3.. or am I wrong?

[BostonCollegeFan]

It's not official, but that 360 site gets their achievements from partnernet. Technically, that means the 360 version is coming (although there's lots of games on partnernet that have been on that for years but still haven't come out *cough*RBI Baseball*cough*) so unless Microsoft pulls some exclusivity agreement out, then it's about 85% confirmed.

[Pck21]

[Lost_In_Shadows]

6 characters in the demo isn't bad at all. I can't wait till it is released. I would go as far to say this is the best news I've heard in the past 2 or 3 years.

[BostonCollegeFan]

:( @ local play. I hated that about the SSF2THD demo :(

[DarkKenpachi]

omfg...just had to bring that one back for today. yup it is on. and booyah for the playstation.

day one purchase for me on both systems. I wonder when Tatsunoko vs. Marvel will come over here now?

Sadly I'll get it on both systems as well. It would be nice if Tatsunoko VS Marvel was released on ps3 or 360. I know it won't be I doubt there will even be a u.s release for the wii. =/

[BostonCollegeFan]

Unlike Marvel, that characters on the Tatsunoko side are owned by about 50 different companies in America. So it'll likely never come over :(

[62t]

Actually most of the series are unlicensed or had license that expired. There are only a few companies that Capcom has to deal with.

[Ecofreak]

Glad there's a demo coming out -- I often get lost and confused w/ so much going on at any one time.

I'm pretty worried about this using the same net code as SFII HD Remix, cause I do not have fond memories of play that game online. I heard that's a new patch out that was supposed to address several issues but I haven't gone back to check for myself.

[GodlyOne]

Such a good thing that everything is unlocked from the start, I remember having to leave my PS2 on overnight to get enough in-game money to unlock a couple of levels/characters.

[FISTINFACE]

15 bucks aint too bad. any one check the ebay auctions?

[lokizz]

10 dollars would have been a better price.

[freakyzeeky]

I just got on my computer, and OMG at this announcement. I never played MvC2, due to how expensive it is on eBay, and the demo this Thursday is the icing on the cake! So I'm really looking forward to playing this :D

[BostonCollegeFan]

It's ridiculously fun....until you run into the cheese characters.

[DarkNessBear]

It's ridiculously fun....until you run into the cheese characters.

Yes - and I prefer the character sizes and pacing of MvC1 better. Still will be getting MvC2 when it hits $10.

There is still a MvC2 arcade cabinet at my college. But those things are always so dang greasy (especially being near the cafeteria...)

[MasterSun1]

Glad this is finally coming out. For some reason, it looks like I lost my copy for PS2.

[BostonCollegeFan]

:O all the MvsC2 cabinets I ever saw where just modified like Tekken cabinets :(.

Yeah I perfer MvsC1 also, but I will 100% be getting this game, probably on both platforms like I did with SSF2THD.

[dphizz]

It's ridiculously fun....until you run into the cheese characters.


that and until you go to your local arcade when tournament level people play and you discover how broken it is. refly and unfly infinite combos left and right and top tier people usually use storm/magneto/sentinel with some subbing with captain commando/cable/iron man

This makes me SO happy! :D

On a semi-related note, any confirmation/info about trophies??

[BostonCollegeFan]

Yep, there's going to be trophies, the Capcom PR guy said so on the Playstation Blog. Chances are they'll be a copy of the 360 achievements, so here's the list of those:

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news-1166-Game-Added--Marvel-vs--Capcom-2.html

I'm sad the demo is PvP only :(. I don't have a second controller :(

[62t]

I think since 2009 Sony requires all games to have trophies

[freakyzeeky]

Did I hear trophies? Even better! :D

[Amerijapoxicano]

Looking forward to this. I told my damn friend to sell his PS2 copy last week. Man we had fun with that dvd, though....
Ah, memories.

[GodlyOne]

Phew, I thought this would be like HD Remix where I decided to play with a 360 controller because it had achievements, glad that MvC2 has trophies. Yeah, my trophy/achievement addiction is horrible....
Debating whether or not I should hang onto my PS2 copy of MvC2. :-k

[blackjaw]

Best $15 anyone will ever spend.

Im stoked for the demo this week.

[craigbezzle]

Am I stupid for wanting to buy this for my 360 AND PS3?

[DarkKenpachi]

Such a good thing that everything is unlocked from the start, I remember having to leave my PS2 on overnight to get enough in-game money to unlock a couple of levels/characters.

I actually grinded out and got everything by playing the game on dreamcast. just kept shuffling store options until everything was cheaper.

Best $15 anyone will ever spend.

Im stoked for the demo this week.

agreed. capcom is starting to make a power move in their video games. I wanna see what the next original vs. game will be.

Im gonna get tatsunoko vs. capcom sooner or later as well.

[nbballard]

I'm excited about this- but i'm more excited about what it means for old capcom fighters. If this game does well, we are likely to see PSN versions of all the old classics- online enabled.

I would give my nuts for a polished, online version of the alpha games (don't tell my wife, she's still expecting children!)

[DarkKenpachi]

omg. I never knew about the infiinite combos in this game. you can tell the major gap in video gaming history can't you? lol

neway after watching those, I am on the fence about this game now. some of those take skill whereas more than most are not really skillful at all to do. kinda like the corner trap in mortal kombat 1 with johnny cage, kano, and raiden.

I have to really reserve judgement now on this game. (still love it but not sure how I will feel about the online aspect now)

[DantheApe]

As sad as this sounds, i will probably be purchasing this for both the psn and xbl. This is just one of those few games where i have just enough friends who are console specific that i can't just go with one version. Either way, this is a great game that i look forward to.

Ironman/Warmachine/Marrow here i come!

[Serpentor]

The d-pad argument is dying....who in their right mind doesn't have an arcade stick after SFIV?

i don't have an arcade stick, mainly because i'm better using the d-pad.

[Serpentor]

Am I stupid for wanting to buy this for my 360 AND PS3?
I'm guessing you have friends on Live and PSN? Well, i have R6V2 on both PS3 and Xbox...

[blueweltall]

Anybody knows if the demo will have online mode?

[BostonCollegeFan]

Only local Player vs Player

[craigbezzle]

I'm guessing you have friends on Live and PSN? Well, i have R6V2 on both PS3 and Xbox...

Yeah, I have friends on both XBL and PSN that will be buying this game. I have an arcade stick for 360, but the PS3 d-pad is decent enough to work....

[GodlyOne]

I actually grinded out and got everything by playing the game on dreamcast. just kept shuffling store options until everything was cheaper.
I forgot about the changing prices, sitting there entering and exiting the store until I found a good price. :lol:


http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/04/mvcgraphics_01.jpg

The filters are amazing, maybe it's just my prolonged exposure to HD Remix but I never remembered the sprites being so pixelated.

[nbballard]

the PS3 d-pad is decent enough to work....

The pad has gotten better over the years. The original PSone pad was like sand paper, and the Ps2 wasn't much better.

I remember playing SFex until the ball of my thumb was raw. I ended up taking coin rolls and tearing them into pieces to cover my finger while i played. It was rough (ouch- bad pun!).

[Chuplayer]

Holy crap, did you see the screen split down the middle in the video? That's new. And it looks like this is an actual port and not an emulation since I see true 16:9 widescreen and not squished and stretched widescreen. This is older games done right on newer systems.

I love the Transformers 80s Movie music in the video, too. They should just scrap all the "gonna take you for a ride" music and put in the entire Transformers 80s Movie soundtrack. It would be so much better that way.

[BostonCollegeFan]

It's the Boogie Nights version.

[Chan69]

i can wait for this, as soon as i heard it yesterday, i was stoked, even more stoked, when i read there going to be a demo this thursday

[GodlyOne]

That split screen thing was for trailer purposes.

I think it's safe to say that Capcom is going to make a shit-ton of cash from this. Though I wonder if there's going to be an epidemic of Cable players online like Ken in SFIV.

[Chuplayer]

That split screen thing was for trailer purposes.

I don't know. It looked like it seamlessly transitioned into split screen so you could get as far away from the opponent as you want. That didn't look like a video edit.

[GodlyOne]

I don't know. It looked like it seamlessly transitioned into split screen so you could get as far away from the opponent as you want. That didn't look like a video edit.

Look at that part of the video carefully, they spliced 2 screens together to show both Wolverine and Ryu's hyper combo portraits at the same time, one section shows Wolverine hitting Ryu with his Hyper Combo and the other section shows Ryu hitting Wolverine his Hyper Combo.

Anyways, the 16:9 options shows you more of the screen but movement is confined to 4:3 by invisible walls. Shouldn't be too much of a problem though.

[Furashu]

this game is going to suck.

You have to wait until later today.

Bu..bu...but..but I don't like to wait. :(

At least we're getting one, poor 360 has to wait. Anyone else curious as to what characters are in the demo? Ryu and Wolvie for sure, but I wonder who else will make it in.

according to the PS blog, its Ryu, Chun-Li, Strider, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Wolverine

[option.iv]

I really suck at this game, but I guess I'll give it a shot.

The filters look pretty awesome as well. Now what I'm most worried about is online play. Capcom's online modes for fighting games haven't exactly been pleasant so far.

[blackjaw]

So itws passed 12am Thursday..... wheres the demo?

Usually updates around 6-7pm EST.

according to the PS blog, its Ryu, Chun-Li, Strider, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Wolverine

Thats all I actually need. My main team is Ryu, Spiderman, and Wolverine. :)

[lilboo]

Though I am excited for the game to come out, I am a bit disappointed that everything will be unlocked from the start... I mean.. in fighting games, IMO, half of the fun is unlocking all the characters & costumes..;(

[Zmonkay]

fuckin PSN updating so damned late in the day. I have the day off, and was lookin forward to some mahvel (anyone know if the demo will have online play enabled?). ah well, patience is a virtue.

Guess I'll be rockin a Strider, Wolverine, Iron Man/Spidey team.

Edit: After learning to read, I see demo is pvp only. BOO! BOO I say.

[HuppSav]

I've never played this but am fairly excited. Who are the cheapest characters so that I know never to use them. I'm sure their will be plenty of bitches abusing them so I don't want to add to the gay factor of ramming people up the butt.

[BostonCollegeFan]

The cheapest characters in the game:


Every.Single.One.Of.Them

[nbballard]

The cheapest characters in the game:


Every.Single.One.Of.Them

Truth.

Honestly- everyone in my area tends to stick with Cable, Ironman, Blackheart, Doom, Strider, and a few others.

[johnnypark]

Demo's up! It's a little lackluster if you're familiar with the game, but it's better than nothing and has further increased my anticipation for the full release.

[rupan_sansei]

Just downloaded the demo and it's true, the only way to play is local multiplayer. Can't get past the menu screen without a second controller. Oh well, at least it looks pretty while the second player stands there waiting for me to hit him. I really just wanted to see the updated graphics filters anyway, so mission accomplished.

[sotc1988]

Massive fail on Capcom's part. Fuck! I don't have another controller!

[mtxbass1]

Massive fail on Capcom's part. Fuck! I don't have another controller!

They did this same thing with the SF2 remake on Xbox live. It's mildly annoying if you don't have a second controller.

[smiggity]

I was wondering why I couldnt play against the CPU. Oh well, i turned on second controller and smacked iron man against the wall

[blackjaw]

Kind of annoyed I had to pull out my second controller, but oh well. I guess this will be the only time that I'm 20-0 with all Perfect wins. LOL

[Chuplayer]

I didn't try it myself, but I heard that custom soundtracks are supported. Transformers 80s animated movie soundtrack, here I come!

I only smacked around the inactive second player, but it looks like everything's as it should be. I tried 16:9 mode, and it's a true widescreen mode. When playing on a 4:3 TV, fullscreen mode is true fullscreen, too. None of that Rez HD "original game mode" bullshit where the game plays pillarboxed in a letterbox when played on a 4:3 TV.

This game is going to be a definite buy. Damn, all these good fighting games coming out this year. KOF98UM, SF4, UFC, BB, KOFXII, and this. It's like 2000 all over again.

[HowStern]

Yeah, terrible demo. Having to play against an idle second controller makes you feel awfully dumb. They should let you play unranked online. Or at least against the CPU.

[SoulEdgeVII]

Massive fail on Capcom's part. Fuck! I don't have another controller!

Guitar Hero and Rock Band guitars are recognized if you have those. That's how I got it to work.

[Ecofreak]

Yeah, terrible demo. Having to play against an idle second controller makes you feel awfully dumb. They should let you play unranked online. Or at least against the CPU.

At the very least, it won't hurt their sales but it certainly won't help too much. I was really hoping to try out the demo with real action as I'm on the fence, and will remain there for the foreseeable future.

In fact, I'm more inclined to buy BlazBlu to support a new title than pick up this. Except for the 3v3 aspect, the gameplay looks fairly similar (IE I don't understand what the fuck is going on).

[Zmonkay]

dropped the fuckin ball on this one. If it was gonna be a multi-only demo, shoulda at least had online. Ah well, at least I get a preview of the different filters (I assume you can toggle those in the demo. not had a chance to DL it yet)

[tiredfornow]

They did this same thing with the SF2 remake on Xbox live. It's mildly annoying if you don't have a second controller.You could play that over Live, though.

[HowStern]

Yeah for anyone who doesn't have a second controller do not download the demo. You won't be able to play it. Not even a teency tiny bit.

[lokizz]

yeah that was a serious letdown. who the fuck sends out a demo like that ?

[DarkNessBear]

Wow - how weird. Maybe that forgot to flip a switch somewhere? Damnit, if only my girlfriend wasn't being a pms biatch right now!!!

[djricekcn]

1) As a demo, this sucked...cause you need a 2nd controller

but

2) From what I played of with a still non moving opponent, it does feel like the Naomi version. So those who liked the Arcade or DC olne would most likely like this. too bad i don't really like MvsC2 due to it's broken parts vs MvsC1 (although that had infinites and stuff as well).

3) I hope this means they relicensed the game, and hope that means a new Marvel Vs game is coming out from Capcom

[happy]

Can you use the blu-ray remote for the second (innactive) controller? Not that I have much interest in beating up a non-moving character to start with...

[BostonCollegeFan]

Did you all miss the announcement that this was multiplayer local only from the second it was announced? lol.

I tried it using a pS2 controller and a PS2>USB adapter

[Bluth Superfan]

Way to kill the hype Capcom. I was riding high all week until this.

[smarkbran]

I am glad us 360 Owners are not missing this demo full of fail...I will stick to my dreamcast version, thanks.

[62t]

RE5 demo had single player, offline co-op, and online co-op

[SoulEdgeVII]

Guitar Hero/Rock Band guitars are recognized.

[lolwut?]

I'm disappointed to, but I don't know why you guys are surprised.

The SSF2HD demo was the same

[helmet]

You could always go meet some one and invite them to play. :D

It is unfortunate that they didn't include any single player for AI evaluation though, but for the most part I only play fighting games with other people locally.

[option.iv]

Well, I'm surprised how fast they came up with this demo. Can't really expect much with the game being released in the summer.

[dfo]

Custom Soundtrack... w/ Transformers 80s animated movie soundtrack has been confirmed by me personally... that Transformers the movie soundtrack goes good with almost any game.

[RelentlessRolento]

hmm just stuff

[carpwrist]

Was anyone else disappointed with the demo? The stages looked fantastic, but it only brought out how hideous the characters were. They looked like SNES sprites in comparison to the latest batch of Capcom fighters (SFIV, SFII HD, etc.)
I really don't remember it looking this choppy... I'm going to Portland this weekend to play this. If it turns out I'm getting senile at age 22, someone is going to die for this. Some youngster with there stoopid walkmans.

Maybe it was just me, but when I had the game at widescreen, the sprites looked a little small in comparison to the stage.

[jterp7]

I have to say that I'm fairly disappointed in the sprites, but having owned the ps2 version, this plays noticeably smoother (though it could just be the 1080p res). This is coming from someone that also suffered through the garbage that was the PS1 port of MvsC1.

[nbballard]

The 16:9 made strider's wall grab awkward- and it made it hard to time Chunli's wall hops. I kind of wish they would put up something to define the edge of the playing field.

[lokizz]

i dont like this game anymore. its been years since i played it and imo it doesnt hold up. nostaliga gaming is fun but not worth 15.

join the club lol. most 2d fighters just dont hold up that well. ll always have fond memories of this games but that demo showed me that i cant play that game anymore. i still love the neo geo fighters though they have held up very well over the years.

its like ive been saying if youre going to bring back older games bring out the best. powerstone 1 and 2 would be perfect or hell why not tweak dead rising and make some kind of online multiplayer game with it?

[BostonCollegeFan]

Because the best 2D fighter would be JoJo's Bizzare Adventure or Street Fighter Third Strike or CvsSNK2?

[nbballard]

I just don't think MvsC2 is the best representation of the era. Did it ever really hold up next to the others in the series? In my mind, it just got a lot of attention because of the volume of characters and all the flash. (don't get me wrong, i'm still going to buy it).

I always felt like MSHvsSF and MvC1 were the stronger games in the series- and would Rather play KOF97 and Alpha2 over this any day- but it's a good start.

[Zmonkay]

Because the best 2D fighter would be JoJo's Bizzare Adventure or Street Fighter Third Strike or CvsSNK2?

shit, now I want JoJo's on Live with online play :bouncy:

[MasterSun1]

The combination of a nice TV + 1080p + Old Sprits = Pixelated Characters.

Seriously, it would probably look better on a crappy TV.

[Spoon_si]

The combination of a nice TV + 1080p + Old Sprits = Pixelated Characters.

Seriously, it would probably look better on a crappy TV.

played this yesterday on my PS3 on 40" 1080P, agree looks 20x better on my PS2 w/ s-video & 20" CRT flat screen TV.

ATM I'm just goin to pass, only reason for me to rebuy this game is for online play. or unless they decided to give this game a HD remixes like it deserves. I would surely glad to pay $30 for a HD remixes..

[jterp7]

the capcom guys have already stated that this is not intended to be an HD remix, nor rebalancing of the original game. Just a better port + online competition.

[s2k]

The game feels good at least i think so. Good thing i have 2 ps3 controllers so its fun to practice with wolverine since hes my fav character in this game. Crisp is hands down the best looking filter idk why the even gave you classic.

For people with only 1 controller use your guitar hero guitar to play as p2.

[RelentlessRolento]

yeah played this on a 46" 1080p and the sprites look mushy.... pixel mushy

[blueweltall]

Damn how can you tell what the hell is happening? There's so much stuff going on that I sometimes forgot who was who. Good game but damn...

[GodlyOne]

Soooo, the digital release of MvC2 has some fixes (http://www.streetfighterdevotion.com/archive_mvc2.php) that eliminate some of the game-breaking glitches and is rumored to be released the week of June 29th (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/05/report-marvel-vs-capcom-2-scheduled-for-june-29-release/). It's not too far away but it being May 5th today, it seems like forever. :cry:

[V4oLDbOY]

I kicked my own ass today. Also the sprites suck, I hope they are fixed.

[Vampire_Zio]

Capcom announced on twitter that the 6/29 release was just a rumor and it now wont be released until close to end of July

[Lost_In_Shadows]

Its the 29th of july for xbla. It is the 13 of august for psn. I just saw it.

[Okari]

Supposedly, the GS retail version has been cut back to $15, and all of the bonuses have been removed so it's just a voucher. I can't find it on the GS website anymore either so it probably ended up getting canceled.

I own all 3 systems...I will gladly wait to get this on PS3. This game will be horrible on the XBOX with the horrible D-Pad.

[advanced]

I own all 3 systems...I will gladly wait to get this on PS3. This game will be horrible on the XBOX with the horrible D-Pad.

I'll be getting it for both, thanks to gamesharing, but the horrible D-Pad on the 360 is just a good excuse to get a fight stick. :) My girlfriend couldn't disagree after trying it, so I'm in the clear. :bouncy:

[Tdogg2k8]

This demo was insane!

[shadowkast]

^^^thread got bumped for that?! Was hoping for a solid release date

[Lost_In_Shadows]

August 13th is the day.

[GodlyOne]

Dammit does the 2 week delay make a difference, I was so tempted to buy it on XBLA last week. I know I can make it one more week....

[Lynsanity]

sux, I am wanting to play now

[dallow]

Alright guys, comes out today.

It was pointed out that the retail box says this game supports Home.
First I've heard of it. Probably shirts or something ala SFIV.

[DarkNessBear]

Hey, anyone want to trade MVC2 for Fat Princess? Please let me know!

Thanks.

[fizzywix]

Picked up a retail box w/ credit. I don't know if I'm going to open it though, never played mvc before and I have a feeling I would be terrible at it.

[blackjaw]

Downloading now! Kind of threw me off at first because you had to download the "Key" first and then the "Demo". I was looking for a while for the game alone. Oh well.

[manthing]

10 minutes waiting for a friendly match so far...

Maybe nobody else downloaded it yet?

:-(

[dallow]

Strange, people have been playing for a while according to other threads, and pretty smoothly too.
I think someone's PS3 locked up in the menus though.

I'll be on later.

[manthing]

Every time I search for a Quick Match, my PS3 freezes.

:-|

[dallow]

Is that what happened the first time, or did it search for 10 minutes?
Freezing seems to be common. :-/

[option.iv]

So is this freezing thing common among all? Backbone needs to stop releasing glitchfest after glitchfest.

It was ridiculous when they first released HDR. It definitely couldn't have passed the Q&A back then the way it was.

[dallow]

I don't know what to believe.
IGN reviewed it and even claimed the PS3 version as being slightly superior.

I'll wait and see after I download it.
I'll be mostly playing offline anyway.

[Viperx116]

Wish we could assign buttons for double punch/kick.

[KingBroly]

Me too. I got the retail version. Interesting to see that it's a unlock key/demo download. Not many PSN games do that. Especially since there's a second demo out O_o

I have no Pad and no Stick for my PS3 either.

[Nibi]

DL'd this evening. Beat the single player, and practiced a bit. I am pretty garbage at this game, but I am looking for some CAG competition.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm ordering it off amazon since it'll be free for me that way... so I gotta waitsies.

[Dakinggamer]

I just got mine today can't wait to start playing..

[mis0]

God I suck. Trying to figure out which team to roll with right now. The last time I played this was back in high school on my phat PS2. I'm down to get some games in, but I can't chain combos for shit. I'm also deciding if I should stick with BlazBlue or move onto this.

[Nibi]

Just got stomped by a guy for 6 matches straight, until I finally won one (although the individual might have handed the controller off to someone else, as they were not really fighting back.)

[Lost_In_Shadows]

I don't know what to believe.
IGN reviewed it and even claimed the PS3 version as being slightly superior.

I'll wait and see after I download it.

I don't understand that either.I think the 360 version has less problems overall, and is the best of the two at the moment. The ps3 freezes up if you search for a game almost every time.

[KingBroly]

I just wonder why Backbone decided to make the damn Arcade trophies so hard to get? No continues is asking a lot, even on easy. I mean...I can get to round 5 no problem MOST OF THE TIME with 3 Cables, but then I get to round 6 or 7, knock out one of their guys, 2/3 health remaining on 3 of my guys with 2 of their guys near full health and they win at time up. WTF IS THAT!? And no, I can't just continue, I have to start ALL THE WAY BACK AT THE BEGINNING! It's infuriating.

[dallow]

Played maybe 30 matches just with my friend online on PS3.
Froze once, and the rest of the time was lag free. Like, really lag free, I never noticed it.


I'm surprised.
Haven't tried with strangers yet though....

[KingBroly]

Dallow, do you use a Dualshock, a fightpad or a stick?

[Kirin Lemon]

For those of you that are experiencing freezing when searching for games, turn off mic support. Fixes the problem right up.

[distgfx]

W00! Good job backbone, I've had zero problems and finding games is lighting fast. Definitely a step up from HDR, this is just my opinion and experience though. Lag is non-existent as well, loving it.

[dallow]

Broly, tonight I just used a Dualshock, but I normally use a stick.

[KingBroly]

Aw man, that means you'd kill me if you used a stick. This game just isn't made for a regular controller. I'll play ya later today Dallow if you promise to use a dualshock to be even.

Hey, here's an example of how big Playstation.com's Trophy tiles are now:

[Viperx116]

Is there no cancel button in this game? After a quick match, it just keeps going to the next round. I can't exit out of it.

You should get some tips from FGT pad warriors suko and beef. They play like demons and use the DS3. They bust some stick user balls in there, lol.

There is, but you gotta beat the other person to the lobby and exit out of it apparently.

[bobo2k4]

Played with buddy for about 12 matches and the only problem we had was that after 3 matches or so the game would kinda "freeze" on the accept screen. The screen would say press X to accept but nothing would happen.

Anyone for a game just send an invite to bobo2k4 on psn.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'll have this game tomorrow... too poor to afford it but will be trading in a bunch of old shit I have for a PSN card tomorrow.

[blackjaw]

I played about 20 matches last night against the computer. So awesome. I love this game.

I'm afraid of going online and being faced with "dream teams" while I just use whoever pops up in my mind as being fun> I rarely use the same team twice and have fun finding different combinations for teams. Nothing ruins a game like being spammed over and over again by the same four characters.

[alumbrados87]

would anyone like to do a psn trade ? I have super street fight II HD, call of duty 4 map pack, everyday shooter, and a bunch of rock band songs please PM

I can do fine with a regular controller considering that's what I played MVC2 on Dreamcast with. A PS2 pad. ;)

[dallow]

Does backbone know about the freezing?
Yeah, Capcom's blog made a post about the issues.

They said they playtested the matchmaking and headsets extensively and never had a problem, so they don't understand the issues now.
They're looking into it and there'll likely be a patch in 1-2 months.

............ yeah.

[mis0]

The PS2 and PS3 controller layout is completely different. But, to be honest, I prefer the PS3 layout because I felt the PS2 layout was way too noob friendly. Nothing against noobs.. but I really don't like the idea of them pulling off supers with just the push of a button.

Anyway, does anyone had a suggestion for a third character for my team? I'm going Strider/DD for sure (because you can't have my boy Strider without DD) and I'm trying to figure out the third. Don't want to go Sent because I fucking suck with him, but I kind of what a better point that Strider for the top tier teams. People have suggested BH, Cable, Storm, Mag, and Sent but to be honest, I suck with them. Not trying to be the best here or anything.. but I want a team that can at least compete with the insane people online. I don't mind Strider being my point though, so I can't have another meter hog on my team (ie. Cable).

[KingBroly]

I made my controller like the SFIV fight pads laid it out with R1/R2 being my assists. It just seems natural.

So I tried to boost some Scoreboard matches with a friend, and the first time...bam, freezes my system. So...I'm guessing they need to fix that. After that failed, I played with him for 5 matches, winning 4 of the 5. I've got to admit that it was pretty fun. Sure, they were all by time, but still, mindless fun. When you get a combo over 10 it's really satisfying, especially if you're just mashing buttons. I'm a bit concerned as to why my Triple Combos/Replacements don't work all of the time when I want them to, but still, really fun.

[MSUHitman]

I have this on PSN, user name is on the left. I also have SS2THDR, SF IV, SC IV, Blazblue, and MK vs. DC. I would like to play some of the PS3 CAG's so I don't feel bad in having all the fighting games on PS3 instead of 360.

[Nibi]

I am going to be adding several CAGs this evening. Looking forward to some spirited competition.

[manthing]

No friendly matches, searching for a match froze my PS3 AGAIN!

Fuck you Capcom, Fuck you Backbone!

[distgfx]

Fuck you Backbone!

Damned straight.

If you guys are looking for a CAG night spot, I can give Thu @ 7PST/10EST. I usually hold HDR nights at this time, however turn out is low and that game is still glitchy, so it'll be on hiatus.

Just got a few matches in. I always crash after every match and so does my friend via the online matches. We need a patch soon.

[m_d_amore]

played like 3 hours last night no problems

[happy]

How good are the players online, I'm not much of a fighting game person so when I played SSF2HDTR (I think that's right) I always got crushed in a way that wasn't even fun. I'll still probably get this to play offline, but is there at least some online variety for us who aren't great and don't have sticks.

There's more new players on MvC2 so you'll have a better chance at winning some matches, but 70% of the time you're going to get crushed if you can't pull off combos fast.

If anyone still wants this game, I'd be happy to trade.

My MvC2 crashes constantly in Arcade.

Finally added a third to my team.

Blackheart: Ground

[ohboy10451]

started a gameshare group for the game. $3 each person. Hit me up if interested.

[DigitalZer0]

how much is it going to sell for? and will it have online play? if they can release that why not powerstone 1 and 2 or the other marvel vs games?

14.99 no tax. Comes with a free 1 month sub to Marvel Digital Comics. Also you get a case for your collection.

[Zmonkay]

Finally got around to picking this up at a GS, and BAAaaah am I horrible! What the hell happened? I used to be pretty decent, and was always able to hold my own, both against friends and at the local arcade... and now I got nuthin. I think the problem is I'm too used to Guilty Gear and BlazBlue's "dash" which is actually a run. I like to rushdown, and I can't seem to do it as effectivly as I once did. My Hayato is horrible, cuz I'm tryin to play him like Ky/Jin. Ugh. Hopefully I'll get some of my online troubles (sloooow ass connection) in line though and get on some cag fightnight to get my ass handed to me :D

If anyone still wants this game, I'd be happy to trade.


he speaks the truth granted i havent played this since i had it on the dc but damn people are cheaper than fuck in this game.i havent done too bad against people considering i dont remember all the moves or how to do a 3 person super but wow some of the stuff people pull is pretty cheap. im still not good at air combos but ground ones come off easy enough and if you see someone using the sentinel be ready to get cheap shotted to hell.

damn, that looks badass! Not official, right?

I used to play this game ALOT on DC (died :bomb:) and arcade. Online is just really bad because of the newbies. Hardly any lag for such a rapid game. I mean Im not the best but I can pull some shit off once in awhile. heres my fav. team.
mag/storm/sentinel

but i also use cammy, strider, cable, guile, etc...
that mag/storm/sentinel team is used for someone that uses mag/storm/sentinel like teams or someone who is highly skilled.

if you want some decent matches add me and we can play cause I am having a hard time finding evenly matched opponents.

advice for newbs: dont do combos with just your thumb. one finger is too slow for this game. Use Index and middle fingers. Takes a little while but your game will improve way better. also, much easier to press two punches or two kicks with two fingers rather than one thumb.

As much as I want to love this game, I just can't. The balance is so brutally off. Seeing as I'm more of a Capcom fan than a Marvel fan, I just get tore up if I don't play as characters I don't like. I'm good with Felicia, Cammy and Zangief, but good will only get you so far when you fight any team that has Magneto, Sentinel, Storm or Cable in it.

Also, all the glitches I've encountered are really a knock against this game. What with Felicia being my primary, I use 'Please Help Me!' a lot, and I guess having that many characters on screen at once makes the game freeze a lot more easily than with any other character. Plus, it seems that every time I have someone disconnect while on the character select screen, it just stays on the "Player has disconnected' screen forever. I've let it sit there for at least 5 minutes and it never went away.

I'm still playing the game nigh constantly. I want to get good enough that it won't matter that everybody uses completely broken characters - I just don't think it's ever going to happen. I guess I'll just keep playing it 'til I at least get the 100 Wins trophy.

... I wish they would re-release the original Marvel vs Capcom and give it this Marvel vs Capcom 2 treatment with online multiplayer and HD Smoothing. It may not be as popular, but at least when I win or lose, I know it was because of skill, not because of character balance.

lol

the sad thing about this game is that I've always played it on a dreamcast, and with the wonky d-pad I always thought I was bad... on the PS3 d-pad I'm playing alot better now... wtf?

I bought a ps2 to dreamcast adapter so I could use my ps2 pad on my dreamcast. I never cared for that dreamcast controller far as fighters go. Why does that shock you? Seriously of course you would be better. :lol:

:lol: ur talkin to the wrong guy about that. I'm very anti "Cable/Storm/Sentinel/etc"

spoken like a true 2d fighter lol. i use him to punish the cheat shotters but my main favorites are ice man, morigan, wolverine, psylocke, capt america and marrow. any combo of them is fun to use.

Nah, fellow CAGer helped put it together for me. Take the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 art as a template and just changed the images and text and what not.

Looks pretty spiffy.
