Marvel vs Capcom 3 $29.99 at Best Buy/Amazon

might want to hold off since popular rumor says Ultimate MvC 3 (I think thats the name) is going to be announced at comic con with 12 more fighters + other stuff.
 
I think it's safe to say that no Capcom fighting game is complete after what they've done with Street Fighter IV. Glad I sold my copy of the game a while back. Will pick up the newer release when it comes out.

So right. They've never re-released one of their fighting games before then.
 
The rerelease is Capcom's way to guarantee the make a profit it seems. They're doing something similar with dead rising 2, though it has a different premise then the original and is with Frank West
 
With ultimate marvel vs milkcom all but confermed ( worst kept secret, we all knew it was comming after mvc3 came out ) there is no point getting this now unless its in clearance bins like sf4 is.
 
[quote name='el swordo']worth picking up to play couch competitive? not really big into online fighting[/QUOTE]

At this point, mvc2 is better for that. We shall wait and see what the eventual re release of this game brings though
 
[quote name='el swordo']isn't that on xbox live or the psn store?[/QUOTE]

It's on both. I don't know about the psn version but you can't assign a button 3x Punch or Kick for the XBLA. So my trigger or bumpers (I forget which haven't played for awhile) are left unassigned. Its not a big deal for some but I just think its retarded that you can't assign the button properly. They might have patched it but I haven't really played MVC2 on XBLA since it was first released a couple of summers back.

I knew I shouldn't have bought MVC3. I refuse to buy another capcom game again.

MvC2 is easier to get into than MvC3? I used to play the original MvC in arcades and I felt MvC2 was much tougher. What I'd like to know is whether or not you can just DLC the new content instead of buying a completely new game like how they screwed SF4 owners.

Don't listen to him, he obviously is just generalizing based on the price and not the game itself. MvC3 is easier than MvC2 so if you are into this kind of game to play with friends, then just get it at any of the

Why not have an add on like Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition did. Do the same for MvC3 Capcom!!

They probably do, so people who bought this @ launch or previously for more than $29.99 will feel ripped off and such. If the rumors are true and the ultimate edition comes out to be $40 that would be the best route to go obviously, $10 more for extra dlc. You could pick up this copy for $30 and find a sale on MS Points and play the game now, buy the dlc later when it's released. That's what a friend of mine did for super sfiv
 
and 2 years from now will be Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 arcade edition, 3 years we will see Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Japanese arcade edition, 4 years from now we shall see Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Ultimate uncut edition, etc..
 
People complain about constant updates but you can't beat bang for buck for these games. My playtime hours number in the hundreds for each version of SF4 and SSF4, and will soon be the same for AE. Same deal for MvC3 and the eventual UMvC3.
 
This better be a dlc aswell like AE for SF4. I payed $70 for the SE on launch day.Even though the case the game came in is very nice I wanted the game. Then the same exact day that players could get Jill and Shuma rumors start floating around about a super edition. WTF Capcom

I agree that MvC2 might be a better game, but for the guy that asked the question (who doesn't play fighting games often), MvC3 might be a better choice due to the much lower barrier for entry.

Yeah, this is what I meant. I don't have the time or inclination to get proficient at fighters anymore. I have a hard enough time with SSF2T now, when back in the day, I was ok at it.

Mvc2 might be a better game? It is the better game and one of the deepest one at that, when played at the highest level, many of which never get to btw. The only thing in my mind that comes close is 3rd strike. Mvc2 lives on...i just don't say mvc3 going anywhere tbh. It's far too simplified and accessible to the point where there is no definite line between a good player and a bad one. with mvc2, the difference is day and night.
 
MvC2 is 10 years old. Sure, we can keep playing Quake Live, Starcraft, and SSF2T but some people want to move and and enjoy new experiences.

People whined about how broken MvC2 was when it came out also.

Highest level play usually involves the same eight characters, though. Getting locked into an infinite or getting caught in a 99 second block string with Strider just don't make for much of a match. Yes, it's exciting to see others take the game to its limits, but it doesn't make it a deeper experience for doing that. 3S is something I admire as well, but again the tier whoring in picking Chun or Ken was tiring at every tourney.

Not that any of this matters in this particular thread, though. It always just turns into a "OMG CAPCOM JUST STOLE MY $60". Don't like it? Don't buy it.

If Ultimate provides the same level of content that SSFIV did to vanilla SFIV then it'll be more than worth the reduced entry fee.
 
Complainers gonna complain.

Yes, I agree it does involve those same characters but the amount of skill and execution to master those characters are beyond most people's capabilities. And I believe that is where all the hate towards the game's "broken-ness" comes from...the fact that these people are getting bodied by the god-tiers, but yet all they do is complain and never learn and improve. Now those same players could just as well pick lower-tier characters and beat you because their fundamentals and understanding are simply beyond your level. It would be your own fault to get caught into an infinite (which primarily serves multipes functions besides damage btw like meter building and reset setups), or block stuns like strider/doom. I'm not sure what you mean by "don't make for much of a match" considering if you're constantly getting caught by infinites...you're just getting outplayed period. How is that not a deeper experience? To achieve such a high level is not a deep experience? You could spend a massive amount of time on the game and only break through the surface and never even reach people like Soo Mighty, Ifc Yipes, Chris Schmidt, or Jwong.

That being said, I respect your opinion. I just hope that you find that mvc2 is nothing to sneeze at. There's a reason it stuck around for 10 years. Here's hoping 3S re-release does it justice.
 
They're not "beyond my capabilities" I just find it boring to learn how to properly button mash for 30 characters. It's a waste of time. The combo system took what could have been a decent game and turned it into a sped-up Killer Instinct with better avatars.

What a load of rubbish. I guess you're forgetting street fighter 2, street fighter 2 champion, street fighter 2 turbo, super street fighter 2 turbo

street fighter alpha, street fighter alpha 2, street fighter alpha 3
street fighter 3, street fighter 3 second impact, street fighter 3 third strike

but everyone remembers marvel vs capcom's deluge of sequels, which were only released in a span of 14 years.


oh and same price on amazon w/ free shipping

[quote name='darkitachi']MvC2[/QUOTE]

Don't take my post as me thinking less of MvC2. I adore it. I wouldn't have devoted so much time and energy playing and actually going to tourneys for it if I didn't love it. I just mean that I can completely understand when someone complains about it being an unbalanced mess, because it really is. People can argue that if both players use broken tiers then of course it's balanced, but taken as a whole it really just makes the majority of the game obsolete. By that I mean touting a roster of 56 only to intentionally make 80% of it unplayable. I respect the level of commitment it takes to master a lot of the truly master-class playstyles, but the redundancy is there, and I can only attribute it to having played the game for over a decade and seeing just about everything there is to see.

But then there's different schools of thought on what constitutes fun for them. Some can only enjoy the game if they take it completely seriously and win without remorse. Others just like the idea of pitting a Servbot against Thanos. Both aren't wrong, but the arguments and points get muddled in a sea of differing opinions.

Again, I don't mean to antagonize you in any way because you clearly know your fighting games. What does annoy me is the posts that just bitch about there being another version. I seriously can't roll my eyes enough at it.
 
[quote name='roymustang']Nice but I bet it'll be $19.99 or less around black friday on amazon, I'll just wait til then.[/QUOTE]
I bet it'll be $19.99 in a week at GameStop. Same thing happened with SF4 after SSF4 was announced.

I never said or implied MvC3 was better, but rather said it was easier to get into aka more noob friendly. Maybe if you weren't so busy bashing it based on the price and "superiority" of the game you would have understood what he was asking :roll:

It probably had something to do with Capcom not having the rights to republish Marvel characters for several years at least until they both decided to port MvC2 to newer consoles
 
Capcom has rereleased games before, but I don't ever remember them releasing the same exact game every single year with a few new characters :S

You sure about that? It's possible that a re-re-release may be annonced at that time!

Capcom cancelled Megaman Legends 3, but they're totally gonna include Megaman in the Ultimate MvC3, right? Right?!?!
