I was playing it last night

and if nothing else, there are endless possibilities in making your teams, setting up your groupd attacks, chain hypers, all of it

which can keep you playing for A LONG time

it's a ton of fun

and quite a bit different than its predecessor

"

What's the point of going back to Marvel vs. Capcom 2 now?

 

 

"

@Cypher's Gambit:
yeah, people still play it

and it's still a super fun game

but did you see that?

those never ending combos?

and the broken characters that mercilessly RAPE anyone who isn't a broken character?

I got my fill of being beaten to death by Strom/Sentinel/Cable a long time ago

I'm glad there's a new game to play that isn't quite as dated and broken

" Why does people hold MvC2 in such high regard? It's actually not very good.
It's the most unbalanced fighting game in existance. They even admitted to not even trying to balance the roster.
It's a lazy copy-paste game where they only made 8 or 9 new character sprites.
Old sprites really look ugly next to the newer ones.
Too many clones, a large chunk of the cast are really obsolete.
Many old characters are missing moves and has less animation than in previous games, especially the CotA returners.
Over 9000 bugs/glitches
 Horribly unbalanced.
People talk about many characters/diversity, yet only about ten characters are ever used.
Awful music
3D rendered stages doesn't fit with sprites.
Instead of Classic Capcom characters like Arthur or Haggar we get Amingo and Ruby Heart?
Instead of a badass final boss we get that? Derp.
Endings? No way.
And most stupidly; people actually complains that X-23 and Wolverine are both in MvC3, even though they play nothing alike, but seem to forget there were two Wolverines in MvC2. "

" @Cypher's Gambit: I'm aware. I just don't see the point of playing it now, unless you're one of those tournament-level players. I haven't played MVC2 since MVC3 came out. "

or unless you haven't bought 3 since you didn't feel it was worth the cash, thus the reason I created the thread

@Static Shock:
totally

and if and when you do play MvC2 now

unless you're already a tournament level pro

it's pretty easy to get slapped around like a redheaded step child

and that's not fun

@Aronmorales:
agreed!
I love things like C. Viper saying "Ugh, it's that Interpol agent again" when fighting Chun-Li

and Wolverine calling Jean "Darlin'"

it's the little touches that make a game great

@ReVamp:
there is SO much fan service in this game

I don't want to spoil anything for you but......

@Shadowdoggy:
Lol, that's so cool.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to do this but I just couldn't help myself as a manga fan.

MVC2 may have its bugs, but so does MVC3.

You can always rent it 1st. "

Not where I'm from. I like in a place far, far away and.. wait? what was that Star Wars intro again?

But yeah, you get the idea.

@Cypher's Gambit:
yes, unfortunately I've noticed all those things

....except for the Hsien-Ko one, but I'll check that out.....

I know it's not perfect

but for me, I'd rather be playing a new game with new annoying bugs than a game from 10 years ago with most of the same bugs it's always had

I played MvC2 to death

and I just can't imagine picking it up again any time soon

"

MvC2 is superior heres why

 

1. 2 has a better roster

2. capcom got greedy and decided to screw fans over with 3 by releasing an incomplete game and making different modes, alternate costumes, and decent characters all dlc that costs more money

3. 2 stood the test of time, 3 fizzled away pretty fast

4. 3's marvel women are all x-men or female rip offs of male characters.

5. 2 DIDNT HAVE MODOK!!!!

MvC3 beats the crap outta MvC2.

"Wha-?! HowcanUsaydat?!" like this.

MARVEL VERSUS CAPCOM 3 BEATS THE CRAP OUTTA MARVEL VERSUS CAPCOM 2!

@Static Shock:
I agree with you on that

I enjoy SSF4 more than MvC3, but I wouldn't say it's "better'

they're such different games

I just have a hard time finding friends to play it with me offline

apparenly, my Cammy and M. Bison skills scare them away ;)

@ReVamp:
agreed

it's been a decade and my backside sitll hurts from my younger brother WHOPPING me in MvC2 on the regular

I like UMVC3 but what I miss from MVC2 is:

1. BB Hood because she's so unique and awesome as a character.

2. Storm's typhoon is infinitely taller and faster. I really hope Capcom would give a faster- start-up for Storm's typhoon

3. Rogue cos UMVC3 could have been the only game which you can play the X-Female Trinity: Storm/Phoenix/Rogue

4. I miss Juggernaut

If only Capcom could add this to UMVC3.

1. Add 12 more characters: Squirrel Girl, Apocalypse, Rogue, Gambit, Juggernaut and Psylocke for Marvel side and Mega Man X, Gene from God Hand, BB Hood, Jedah, Date Masamune and Ingrid (from street fighter) for Capcom.

2. 10 more new stages

3. the game will count the number of times you have used the characters even in vs mode.

4. Put back all what was nerfed including putting Sentinel's health.

5. Storm's typhoon make it faster, taller & homing as well as homing elemental rage. Morrigan's missiles hyper should be changed to laser cannon
