Marvel vs Capcom 2

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/marvel-vs-capcom-2/achievements/

As DLC? Yeah, I could see doing this.

Cozwn - is that your days job(?)... I saw your post on SRK... or did you find the listing somewhere else? It would be kind of amazing if they released a stick for just a downloadable game. It's so hard to get sticks now, it's really weird (I need a second ps3 one).

I found the listing somewhere else; I expect they're going to cash in on the TE stick hype with every capcom fighting game they have the chance to

Do we think they'll revisit 3rd Strike and/or Alpha next? I wonder if this will have widescreen support or just be a straight port with added online. Probably just a straight port or we woulda heard more about it in advance (I'm fine with blacks bars tho).

what ive heard from a friend that works there is that darkstalkers is a good bet for getting a revive

this all better be for the PS3 too; MvC2 is probably my favorite non-Smash Bros fighting game ever and I still pine for a TE stick for some reason.

okay if there is one thing that could pull me away from WoW, it's this

HD titty sprites?

HD SUCCUBUS/CAT LADY titty sprites

My prediction - MvC 2 will be pretty much exactly the same but with sloppy netcode added on, it'll be the cheapest route (though the game will cost a little more than usual due to extra licensing fees). If Darkstalkers happens (which I am skeptical - I love it but has it even been a huge hit?) they might go ahead and do the HD treatment on it, though this is more likely for an Alpha 3 port (Capcom loves redoing that game over and over again) or 3rd Strike.

darkstalkers sells v. well in japan i think and from what i can gather theres tremendous affection for it w/in capcom - yr right tho that darkstalkers games have sold poorly in na but i dont think that its ever gotten released on a popular console. the darkstalkers ps2 port was japan only?

i dont think the HD treatment is likely tho but a port as dlc seems to be a good bet

jamescobo - looks like ps3 too...

IS MAHVEL BAYBEE

I'd rather see a 3rd Strike port, but this is cool too.

You can play 3rd Strike online via GGPO if so inclined

God, I keep forgetting about GGPO. Will explore this in time.

no ggpo on mac : /

sure we'll get 3S in due time anyway

yeah yeah - i hope so too.

GGPO worked out pretty nicely last time I tried it. No crazy 4P MvC 2 matches, but I guess you can't have everything.

they better update the Marvel roster. Spiral? Silver Samurai? Blackheart? What the hell.

how do you even play this game?

there's like buttons for different strengths of punch and kick and if you press them in conjunction with certain d-pad or joystick movements you do like special moves

each player has a 'health bar' which reduces when they get hit - your goal is to reduce the opponent's health bar to zero

avoid missing ball for high score

hur hur

the game just looks crazy and kinda unfathomable... in a way tht something like, say, tekken br or kof xii (to name a couple fighters I've never played) just don't

I googled how to play mvc2 and the thread on SRK is just mind-boggling; different teams and different numbers of counter-picks, unfly, SJCs, blocking's not tht important (<--this in itself is esp wtf) etc etc

anyone actually know how to play it on here and can give a beginner's skinny or point to a good guide?

I've yet to barely play (gonna start practicing soon though)... anyway
http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Marvel_vs._Capcom_2
is probably a good place to start

also works on at least one dreamcast emulator (can't remember which)

thanks, jeff, maybe my sfiv c.viper training will pay off a little in this game

also http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Marvel_vs._Capcom/Walkthrough#Specific_to_Marvel_vs._Capcom_2

I have this game somewhere, I played it for about two weeks but it bewildered me a bit

the last boss is a suit of armour that turns into clifford the big red dog then some crap evil slime

Hulk shouts "let's rock", unconvincingly

Cozen, MvC 2 is a lot easier than you think, it's just stupid stupid fast and a lot of getting used to dialing. Not saying it's easy to master or a BAD game, but it's not really in the same world as those other games (and IMO not as fun on a higher level). Hell, even compared to earlier vs. games. It's kinda fun... it's candy.

ack ack ack ack goddamn that song

AHMA TAKE U 4 A RAHD

played this loads on the dreamcast actually but not on any kind of skilled level

i mean, i think it's probably pretty broken if you actually try and play it 'properly'? i thought the consensus was that it was so goofy (TRON BONNE) that it defeated that kind of thing

that said i suspect anyone who actually played fighting games for real could pwn me on it

this thread made me wonder: to what extent, if any, are people still developing 2D sprite-based fighting games? i mean, now that even street fighter has gone polygonal without finding it necessary to shunt it off into its own little numbering system ghetto i was curious if they were likely to continue happening

or if it'd get like the adventure game community or whatever

honestly, MVC2 is every bit as pick-up-and-playable as something like Smash Brothers; you can pretty much count on making a bunch of crazy shit happening onscreen regardless of whether you're any good or not.

xpost

sorry
xpost

sprite fighters are pretty big in Japan rn: Blaze Blue, Capcom vs. Tsunomoko (or whatever it's called), and the new KOF (I think) are all 2-D IMSMR. I think HD's giving the genre a second wind (unlike adventure games, for some reason. I mean I for one would play the everliving fuck out of a HD Monkey Island).

yeah, james is right: blazblue (looks dope), kofxii (gorgeous), arcana heart sugoi, battle fantasia, sfiv (<-- essentially a 2d fighter, tho obv not sprite based), cVtatsunoko

arcana <3 is coming to the US I think. TvC is still a rights wrangle

kof xii

You would think coint and plick adventure games would have new life on the DS, given the interface's natural affinity. My experience is that it doesn't translate somehow.
But yeah, there must be someone working on a DS monkey island even as we speak.

Right, duh, it's three years old http://scummvm.drunkencoders.com/

is garou mark of the wolves a 2d sprite based game? it's coming for xbla this year

oh, g:motw is a remake

arcana heart 2 sugoi!

aracana heart kinda sucked dude

thought tatsunoko was polygonal. blaze blue looks interesting/mental

i'm not sure why i'm bothered (seeing as most developments fighting-game wise past since sf2 turbo have largely passed me by) but i'm glad people are still bothering

do the polygons in sf4 and other essentially 2d 3d games make a difference mechanically - i mean, do these games use fancy 3d hitboxes in a way that would impact the play much?

ya ah2s! looks kinda sucky too : /

blazblue and kof xii shd be good tho

Tatsunoko is 3D but it totally feels/plays like any of the other VS. games. I liked it, crazy as it was.

Garou is awesome, btw

blazblue and kof xii shd be good tho

im into the idea of blazblue but tbh my interest in fighers is pretty much slaked at this pt

do the polygons in sf4 and other essentially 2d 3d games make a difference mechanically - i mean, do these games use fancy 3d hitboxes in a way that would impact the play much

no

KOF XII looks pretty badass. I haven't played an SNK fighting game in like 15 years, so this'll be like a whole new deal. Totally love the 2D HD sprite look.

I don't know how I really feel about MvC2. It's pretty button masher friendly, but I sorta dig the wacky, smash brothers-type thing it's got going on. It's a nice change of pace I guess. It feels a bit cheap and thrown together though, it's basically a Capcom frankenstein monster cobbled together from old games. It's kind of amazing it hangs together at all. There are like a zillion characters and I don't even know how many playable combinations altogether. Plus all of the assist types and play types and whatnot. It's nuts.

And that fucking character select screen music will haunt your dreams. Jesus Christ.

^otm

I just wrote a three paragraph hating summary of the problems I have with the game but realized it's just not worth posting. The game's enjoyable, won't surprise me if crushes SSF2THD in sales.

I'm picking cable

i want to hear three paragraphs on why you have problems with the game

unless this:

I'm picking cable

explains it

don't have any problems

still picking cable

oh d'uh

yeah I'd like to hear those three paras too, if you have time nhex

This is why, when Capcom asked me to come test a version of MvC2 with online play, I nearly soiled myself. We went through everything, from well-known glitches to standard combos and tactics, and the gameplay was all there. Certain gamebreaking bugs have been removed, of course (the Gambit glitch, for example) but everything else is intact. Guard breaks, infinites, simultaneous DHCs, unblockables, countering with Assist 2 after a snapout, the Juggernaut glitch…everything that makes MvC2 crazy is still the same. We checked for the problems that plagued the PS2 and Xbox versions (crippling slowdown, the counter-out bug, etc.) and found none. This is the game we all know and love, but prettier.

"juggernaut glitch"?

Predicting that I will be unable to enjoy this as half my online matches will begin and end with a fourth grader laying me out with an infinite combo.

psn demo out today with the update (in about 8 hours or so then), supposedly.

xp, that is exactly why I always preferred Capcom vs. SNK 2. less button mashing + samurai showdown (and kof) characters ftw.

yeah, pls bring cvs2 and 3rd strike to xbla next capcom

I don't have any inside info, but my guess would be if Capcom is gonna do another port it'll be 3rd Strike. I imagine they're going to take a break after this though. But I still have my hopes for Tatsunoko vs. Cap maybe at E3?

Anyhow tried out the limited (no online or single player!) ps3 demo this evening and it seems like a good job. Widescreen support is fine and the game seems to run very smoothly / looks as good as it could look probably. Custom soundtrack support is a godsend!

I played this today against my friend. About 4 matches. My thumb hurts whenever I play games like this nowadays. I also lost all 4 matches.

It's weird though, I used to collect 2D fighters for ps2 and I never remember my fingers hurting before.

gettin' old

nah i kid, the vs. games are way more intensive in terms of required button mashing than most games

One more week!

I hate Backbone so much for not properly fixing SF HD's online mode on PS3, that I'll be passing on this one.

blazblue now and 4ever imo

fk u yankee

...

Did you just reply to yourself with "..."?

nah I ws just bumping cos this is out today on 360

it is... different, I'll give it that

heh, have you never played a vs. game before?

haha never... I'm just boggling right now :D

I didn't get to play very long this morning and didn't get to try out online, but so far it seems like a slick port / runs and looks great. Seeing as I almost paid over $100 US for an inferior version, getting this enhanced version for $15 feels like a steal. Very happy, but yeah, slightly overwhelmed by the learning curve. Basics seem easy, but there's just so much content / just looking at the character select screen is overwhelming

"basics seem easy" boy am I lolling

wiping sweat from my brow here

Well, I meant, just a few moves to learn for each character and they're simplified compared to a lot of other games

yeah I feel you... I've played about 50 matches today and in not one of those did I feel like I had any idea wht was going on from moment to moment~~~

moment2moment is a dope special move

Are you playing online cozwn? How does it compare to Super Turbo Remix quality?

exactly the same ie amazing

lag on the char select screen but thts a known bug

I need to put the Battlefield 1943 crack pipe down to pick this up..

Boring article, but...

But a strong license can do very well, too -- Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is "tearing up," according to Kramer, having surpassed Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix sales within a week and a half.

I'm going to assume they mean it surpassed the weekly sales rate as opposed to completely beating HDR's total sales... but yeah, as easily predicted.

Is it just me or does this Rise of the Robots-like 3D style really suck compared to SFIV and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom?

I think it looks pretty good in motion - they definitely kept that over the top crazy feel (maybe too much so, for me)

http://www.videogamesblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/marvel-vs-capcom-3-modok-screenshot.jpg

just shipped! scheduled for delivery tomorrow (thanks Amazon Prime free release-date shipping), oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy

MODOK is the only character I am any good with.

where is Jeff? he missed P&C!

That's a good question. I only just noticed this, but he's vanished from my XBL friend list too.

Damn, I think dude did a total wipe, looks he's gone from Steam and Xbox now. Shame. Hope he's okay.

huh. yeah, i should try to follow up with him.

thought i had his email from last c+p, but don't seem to...

In MvC3 they just patched Sentinel's health from 1.3M (highest in the game) to 905k.

It's interesting because Capcom usually doesn't tinker with balance in patches.

jeff still checking in on facebook. maybe he's just taking a (albeit kinda extreme) ~time out~

Is it just me or does this Rise of the Robots-like 3D style really suck compared to SFIV and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom?

Man as if you made a Rise of the Robots ref and I missed it... months ago! Total net-daps 4 u my friend

wait... what? lol

Deadpool is hilarious!

on a stupid fighting tip at the moment, no idea why because i fucking suck at these games. well i suck at most games that aren't gta but still.

so i got MvC3 and the SSF HD remix, crazy hard. Trying the Missions in the former game, so hard to get the combos.

And I can't even get past level 3 on SSF. Not even going to touch multiplayer until i can get some more practice with these.

slow going but am learning these games. i bought SSIV and then was told that they had released SSIV Arcade Edition, ffs.

at least now i know on MVC3 that i can press LMHS hits for combo, and keep doing it for aerial combos too. that's neat.

the supers are really easy on this compared to SSIV, they all seem to be the same.
overall i think i prefer SSIV

Missions still hard, but getting there.

I have never played mvc3 (and only a few minutes of mvc2) but i am enjoying watching all the tournaments.

i picked up UMVC3 a few days ago, if anyone wants to give it a shot this weekend
