| | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is huge, it boasts 56 fighters to choose from of which a vast majority of these have to be bought with points earned in the games points reward system. | | | Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a fighting game no one should be without, for two very good reasons, firstly it's great over the top fun and secondly there is a great nostalgia value. | | | Marvel is much faster and much more fun to play due to the extreme moves and the Marvel characters. |

| | Marvel vs Capcom 2 (Playstation 2) Review at RewiredMind.com |
| | Marvel vs Capcom 2 is by far the pinnacle of the “VS” series of games, so find other players, find it in arcades, and let the crossover battle commence. | | | Shoryuken.com have hosted a number of huge gaming tournaments were MVC2 has always consistently been the focus, pulling in some 200-500+ players from across the world to stake it out to decide who is the strongest. | | | Before you know it, you've racked up thousands of points. There's certainly a huge incentive to pursue the goal of unlocking everyone from the word go, since some of the hidden characters are the more impressive characters in the game, such as the huge Sentinel, or the Ironman, Tony Stark. |

| | Marvel vs. Capcom 2 -- PS2 -- Five Stars |
| | Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has deceptively simple controls, but don’t assume this game is merely a button masher. | | | Marvel vs. Capcom 2 isn’t like any other fighting game on the planet. | | | I’m not saying that Capcom vs. SNK 2 isn’t a great game, because it is, but Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is flat out more fun to play and manages to appeal to just about everyone. |

| | As the name suggests, this game pits a slew of super heroes from Marvel Comics' universe, against various heroes and fighters from Capcom's pantheon of games. | | | And for comic fans, seeing many of your favorites like Captain America or Venom in a game that plays really well (compared to all the other 'anime / comic licensed games') is enough incentive to buy this game. | | | CPS-II fighting game, with a few new home exclusive modes to boot, such as the requisite "Survival Mode," "Training Mode" and "Cross Fever" mode, which is a madness-filled 4 player(!) fighting fest, where you and three of your friends can battle it out in a huge free-for-all. |

| | Despite this, the only times her sprite has been redrawn has been in Pocket Fighter, Puzzle Fighter and SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium due to everyone being super deformed; and Gunbird 2 due to the nature of the game (a shooter vice a fighting game). | | | Within the Darkstalkers series, she is considered a Shotoclone, with many of the same fighting techniques and controls as other Capcom shotokan characters, such as Ryu from Street Fighter. | | | Morrigan's role as a hero was a focus, with her activities as a succubus downplayed; although the OVA depicts Donovan Baine as the main hero of the story, some say that Morrigan was also a little more stoic and pretentious than her usually upbeat personality depicted in the games. |

| | 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. | | | Wrapping a decent story around them would have been impossible, so the game is more of a "dream match" that just so happens to have a boss fight against Abyss tacked on at the end. |

| | SydLexia.com - Street Fighter 1: Absolutely Terrible |
| | The Alpha series and Street Fighter III are popular in some circles, but the super moves of those games don't provide the same level of fun and excitement that the hyper combos of the Marvel vs. Capcom series do. | | | Capcom has also made some incomprehensibly bad Street Fighter games over the years. | | | My guess is that is that Marvel, who were on the brink of bankruptcy when they made their initial licensing deals with Capcom, wanted more money from the game developer after X-Men and Spider-Man made them millions. |

| | In a fast-paced game that depends on your every action and reflexes, it’s aggravating when you’re about to jump-attack your opponent, and your opponent literally watches you freeze in mid-air, changes his game plan to counter your character with the uppercut, and then to be heckled by a ten-year old boy. | | | collection, Capcom’s Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO, and playing this game only made me realize one thing: I get my butt kicked easily by 349,999 other gamers. | | | Ok, so that was only one case (I will defeat that boy eventually), but the point is obvious: no one likes lag during online play, and it does appear in Capcom vs. SNK 2. |
