time t owrite a book.

I absoloutely LOVE this game, as sock can tell you. I still paly it, and god damn, why aren't we playing a Vs. game touranment instead of MKII?

the mode changes for ryu in MVC was nessecary to allow those other characters to be represented in teh game. the alternitave was to take them both out entirely. personally I thin kthe mode changes make ryu taht much better of a character. MVC is the only game I use him in. considering you start with a frtee hyper combo gauge, you can change at hte beginnign of hte fight if you want. on the PSX version (dunno if it works in any other versions) you cna start in other modes by holding certain buttons before the round starts.

I always preferred ken, because he was a much more aggressive fighter. standing aroudn shooting projectiles doesn't sound like my kind of fun in these games. fuck akuma. he takes so much damage he's almost a liability to ahve on your team.

my favorite in the series was the first MVC, because it was drippign with nostalgia. megaman had the old victory tune when he won a fight, captain commando told you capcom's first game, ryu ahd the street fighter II theme, all that good shit. MVC2 is what I play more because I ahve better access to it on X box, it's also fun to be able to ahve such zany match ups with the 56 characters.

silver samurai sucks and is useless.

everyoen uses jill because she is cheap. I use her because she's from resident evil, one of my favorite games.

jill's shoulder tackle can't get as many hits as megaman's cahrged buster, cause they can roll otu of it. one day I taped down the HP button on my controlelr in practice mode and walked away for a few hours, and when I came back and untaped the button, megaman's shot hit so many times that it dizzied.

the practice mode thing caps out at 9999 points.

selling MVC2 would be a travesty, jsut because it's so rare on X boxc and PS2. I don't know why people dislike it on X box. it's pretty much the same as teh dreamcast one, except it's actually playable with teh controller. the PS2 one was such slowdown. ugh.

pretty much every super move in the game is either a quarter circle forward or backrward plus both punches or both kicks, to the manual is useless. it doesn't even tell you the moves for any of hte unlockable characters. jsut hte 24 defaults.

anakaris sucks. I ahte him. he only amde it in because he's the most popular darkstalker next to felicia and morrigan in japan. I would have loved to have lord raptor instead. he would have fit in perfectly. I coudl do wihtout dimitri simply because he's in some games now like SVC chaos and capcom fighting jam. I'm sick of seeing morrigan. hell, jediah would have rocked face in this game.

I can play decently with almost anyone in this game, but I usually have teams consisting of amingo, venom, jin, hatyato, guile, captain commando, iron man, spiderman, cable, psylocke, or hulk.

I've started playing alot with venom and amingo lately because I like their jumping HK into launcher air combos, and venom web is jsut sick. amingo is jsut fun and unorthodox. Jin was one of my favored cahracters in MVC, and althought he got FUCKED in MVC2 because of the cahgne to four buttons, and the watering down that some guys got, he's still pretty fun. sometiems I feel bad playing as iron man or cable because some people consider him cheap (same reason I avoid strider hiryu and the wolverines) but I don't play cable by using lockdwn techniques like most people for this very reason. Oddly enough, I picked up on hulk so that I could use his double crush glitch, so shame on me for bitchign about cable. Hayato is my main man though. I can fuck your life up with him.

captain commando is amazing, the coolest ever. I love him.

I would have liked to see more marvel cahracters taht werent x men, and capcom guys that weren't street fighter, but this game was mostly lazy porting of characters, and the first two games in the series were street fighter vs blah balh, so what can I say?

I miss the crazy double final atomic buster that hulk and zangief had in previous games.

I agree that three cahracters is a bit rediculous, and some cahracters (jin, rouge, blackheart ESPEcIALLY) got raped with the changes.

if you think the 3d backgrounds in this game look terrible, you should see the ones added to KOF 99 on dreamcast, and the ones in KOF 2001(2000?) on PS2. what really bother's me is how capcom ported the sprites. morrigan's sprites are from like ten years ago, and it shows when yo uput her next to a newly drawn guy like cable. some cahracters plain look like shit. most of the sprites for these vs games were ripped out of street fighter alpha, and it really shows. look on the cahracter select screen at cable, then move one box up to cyclops. you can see the difference immediately. it's still not as abd as capcom fighting jam though, where teh sprties were stolen fro meverywhere. you got a capcom vs snk m bison, a street fighter alpha zangief, a street fighter 3 ryu, and then a 1993 darkstalkers dimitri. seeing that dimitri sprite is a shame after seeing the awesome one SNK made for him in SVC chaos.

a nice little combo with venom is jump in with HK, crouching LP, standing MP (launcher) jump and follow, LP, LK, HK, Venom Fang(SP) with amingo a jumping HK, crouching LK, crouching MK(launches) jump and follow, LP, LK, MP, MK, wait a second, air throw with HK, which lands on the floor in a grab, once you beat them out of it, you might be able to pull out magneto's hyper grav assist to pull them towards you and then do your crazy root vertical death hyper thing, but you usually cant hit with the hyper grav quick enough out of hte throw.

alot of people don't expect you to cancel hayato's air overhead (down and HK) into his dragon punc hthing (HP) which leads to ANOTHER coo lair combo, jump in with LK, MK, land LP, crouching SP (launches) follow, LP LK MP MK overhead (down HK) cancel to dragon punch thing (HP) cancel into his quarter circle back + KK super (teh bubble thing) this also gives you unlimited hyper for a few seconds, so try for his level 3 thing. (LP HP back JK HK) it's easy to do if you do it in the middle of one of his plasma combos. the back LP LP LP LP one works easy for this.

wanna be sick with psylocke? jump in with HP, land , LP LK MK HP (lanches) follow, LP LK MP MK diaganol up/forward+HK, LP LK MP MK, diagonal up/forward + HK, LP LK MP MK, diagonal up/forward + HK, LP LK MP MK quarter cirle forward+ LK, cancel into quarter circle forward+ HK, cancel into quarter circle back + KK. if you have captain comamndo o nyour team, you cna cancel into his captain sword (quarter circle forward+ PP) sometimes.

I play this game way too much.

tehy fucked iceman up so bad in this game. his ice ball lost alot of it's usefulness, and his ice fist is more of a hinderance now, because it pushes hte enemy too far back for comboing.

he's really a shitty character anyways, with his constant keep away games and his lack of chipping damage. he jsut frustrates me.

sir, you haven't seen the jill players that I've seen.

she can play some impressive keepaway with those slow ass moves, and it's frustrating to have her do that fucking slide sweep, cahrge tackle, super tackle chain over and over again.

thats not the nemesis, it's the tyrant, but I agree, it's a shitty move.

guilty gear has some pretty rediculous stuff too. I like the ninja's instakill where he sucks you into a flaming pentagram and explodes.

guilty gears entire system is based on being open for makign your own combos.

almost everyhitng cvhains together into soamethign else.

oh yeah, and in MVC2 some characters WERE fixed.
venom comes to mind, thy changed his cahins from P to K to weak to stronger, so he can actualyl pull some better combos off, and chain into his launcher withoug a jumping start.
