Topic: Marvel vs. Capcom 2


  
 Marvel vs. Capcom series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marvel vs. Capcom is a series of fighting games created by Capcom in which characters created by Marvel Comics and Capcom's own characters appear together.
However, various pairs of characters - typically one Marvel and one Capcom, were often partnered with each other during gameplay (although later games randomized the partnerships so that it was possible to complete the game facing all-Marvel or all-Capcom teams).
However, the Marvel fighting game Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects was initially named Marvel vs. EA, spawning lots of jokes from people about various EA licenses (such as John Madden) appearing in the game.

 PS2 Game Reviews: Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Capcom vs. SNK plays like the Street Fighter Alpha series, and lacks the trance like special effects found in other "Vs." games, thus it is a more technical fighting game.
Some may argue it's Capcom vs. SNK 2, but seeing as how both games are so vastly different, I try to stay away from comparing both games.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 literally forces you to play the game over and over again, just so you can unlock a personal favorite character of yours.

 IGN: Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes Review
Marvel vs Capcom 2 proves to be one of the best fighting games out there, one of the Dreamcast's most sparkling gems, and an awesome experience both for 1 player and multiple players alike.
Control options aside, Marvel vs Capcom 2 takes some major amounts of getting used to in order to master its fighting system, and most people are probably gonna play the game without even trying to gain that mastery.
Add in the 2D characters, whose animation is at the level of the original Marvel vs Capcom (not at the level of SFIII, though), and you have a game that could only look better if Capcom would make the move to full 640x480.

Mastery of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 comes only by wrapping your head around all of these disparate features and using that knowledge to try to establish some order in the game's rampant chaos.
Even so, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is undeniably the biggest and best game of its highly specialized type.
If you've not played MvC2 before, the fighting is team-based, but this time there are three fighters per team.

I have played pretty much every Capcom fighting game and this game by far is the best.

Capcom could easily create a toon shaded game of their own and set to work making distinctive looking fighting games that would beat the low poly mini-skirts off those Dead or Alive girls.
If you played the original Marvel vs. Capcom, you'll remember that your third character selection simply gave you some reinforcements in the form of a limited number of special attacks.
While the backgrounds are not interactive and game play still takes place firmly in the land of two dimensions, the 3D backgrounds really do make the game world feel more alive.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is the latest in a long line of cartoony 2D fighting games that pit Marvel Comics superheroes like Spider-Man and the Hulk up against Capcom characters ranging from Mega Man to Resident Evil's Jill Valentine.
If you've never cared for Capcom's 2D fighters in the past, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 isn't going to be the one that's going to win you over.
With 56 fighters (many of whom need to be unlocked by playing the game and earning points) and literally limitless combos to discover and master, you'll never be able to honestly say that you've discovered everything there is to find.

Kicking off a number of new concepts for 2D fighters like 4-buttons instead of 6 and three fighter teams, this is one of the few exceptions where a game that’s over two years old is still worth playing.
Arguably one of the best 2D fighting games created, Capcom has brought their aged classic Marvel vs. Capcom 2 back from its Dreamcast beginnings.
Those that played it on the Dreamcast will definitely want to take that into consideration before buying, but otherwise, it has aged well and is still competitive with newer 2D fighters.

It’s just too bad Capcom took the word “old” literally, and re-released a game that’s not really that different or better than the one I got in high school in 1999.
The advent of a merger of a very popular comic marvel brand into a Capcom streetfighter game was a big one.

Perhaps the crowning achievement of Marvel vs. Capcom 2's is the game's ability to get around the Dreamcast controller's lack of six buttons.
Besides the normal attacks that each character can execute, there is also a snap back move (which forces your opponent to change characters), a variable counter (which calls in a partner to perform a counterattack), and a delayed hyper combo (that will toss three consecutive hyper combos against your enemy).
This button setup is the best that I have even seen in a 2D Capcom game and doesn't penalize you at all for not having an arcade style controller.

 Review - Marvel vs. Capcom 2 // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer
The Marvel vs. Capcom franchise is unique in that one on one battles are eschewed in favour of three-character tag fights, lending a completely chaotic but often strategic slant to the proceedings.
This enforces the fact that the art of playing MVC2 is an acquired taste, and tapping the hidden depths of the game could take weeks or even months.
It's a testament to just how accomplished this title was, then, that it still feels like a powerful contender amongst the fresher faced games bustling for attention in the genre.
