Marvel vs Capcom 2

I alternate between santhrax and matrix

THANK YOU, YOU BROKE THE STREAK!!!

Now I can only usually run BH/Cable/Capcom.

I love dabbling in Duc and Scrub. I USED to main clockw0rk but UMVC3 ruined me ;_;

Man, I only run team duc on people who talk too much trash, it's no fun to just curb stomp random people who don't know how to PBGC
 
Megaman Sent Guile
jill magneto spiral
spiderman, iron man, spiral
servbot tron magneto
colossus storm sent

those are my teams
 
in the very brief time I played mvc2 with tomo009, I played MSP, but if I were to pick it up again I would probably pick Storm/Sent/Cyke. No-one is gonna play it here though so w/e

idgaf if this isn't viable. I like it.
I occasionally dabbled with Ruby. She's fun.

Sakura/BB Hood/Jill Valentine

Since I never played competitvely I still don't know if that's a good team or not.

I also dabbled with B.B. Hood.
I liked her but she was difficult to use.

I glad Parasoul borrowed her level3 from her.

I love MvC2 so god damn much but I just accepted I'll always be ass at it. I usually play Rogue/Cable/Sent since I don't have the execution for Magneto and I just don't like Storm much.


I also play team clockwork and team duc sometimes but that's only because I love to press buttons.

i started my "being into fighting games" with MvC2 on a friend's dreamcast about 15 years ago, but i don't think it ever was favorite fighter and i jumped to GGX around then

that said, i can't turn away whenever there were vids of clockw0rk's strider/doom

the other thing i remember is Mike's juggernaut combo vids and James Chen's vids that used the intro from the Castlevania SOTN track "Tragic Prince"

are there any classic mvc2 vid still on the internets, or are they un-youtube-able because they all used copyrighted music?

Going to see if I can make Juggernaut/Mag/Sent work, but I’ll probably end up with Row’s or Combofiends team once I can show up to places where the game is still played on a regular basis.

There’s definitely less MvC2 vids up on Youtube and some of them seemed to have been sort of screwed over by changes that Youtube has made in the last few years. @keninblack posted a link to a large archive of videos on the last page, but it doesn't seem easy to find things there unless you know exactly what you’re looking for.

These tutorial videos seemed to have decent info, but I’m not exactly the best judge.
Magneto
Sentinel
Juggernaut
Cable
( presentation is pretty bad and text isn’t the most legible)

Cammy-Psylocke-Sentinel all day... actually, part of the day: 'cuz I'm running Guile-Jin-Sent otherwise.

(Mag-Psy-Sent on the ps2 version though, lol. Thanks, dash-macro.)

In that order? No way.
M/J/S is okay, so is M/S/J.
MJS has reset into Fierce airthrow, tempest DHC Headcrush mash for 8 hits = dead.

The problem is, if you aren't using Juggernaut's powerup glitch you're basically sacrificing the character...and if you ARE using it then you're sacrificing a different character by tagging in. So the safest thing to do is tag to Sentinel, but then your order is either SJM or SMJ and having Magneto in the back kinda sucks.

Although MvC2 is no longer listed on the PSN store, is it still possible to create a lobby?

Yes. The online still works (though it's quite dead), you just can't buy any new copies.
 
Morrigan/Cammy/Psylocke because Team Waifu.
 
Apparently team Waifu is team Amazing DP Assist

I played Mag Jugs (glitched) psylocke. Boy that team is fun with 1 reset
 
It seems like a lot of people are just saying their team's name and not much else. I find it hard to pick a whole three characters that go together well. The best I can manage is a pair and someone else. Cable and Juggernaut for bang bang bang, paunch. BB Hood and Anakaris for HP into grab assist, plus all the meter in the world. I've been trying to practice curse loops. I'd like to know if what I've been doing works on real people. Cable AAA, SJ straight up, curse. It's not that hard to do thanks to hitbox. On pad, or stick, I tend to not always go straight up, but forwards or backwards even a little bit to mess it up.
 
Anyone feel like playing on PSN? Haven't tried to play online for this game in ages haha.

EC/Midwest only pls.

Makes me sad that I didn't own a PS3 back when it was possible to buy the game.

If someone who owns it dls it on your PS3 you can still have it.
 
Is the PS3 version a good or a bad port? I heard there were lots of issues with it, but I don't know what they are.

If you don't play the game very seriously you won't notice anything wrong with it. There are issues but they only really matter at high level.

What are some high level issues?

- (Some?) jumping lights have the wrong hitstun, Magneto can do like launch->sj.JabxN which is not even close to possible in the arcade/DC versions.
- There is occasionally the "alpha counter out and the leaving character gets hit anyway" glitch that was heavily present in the Xbox version. They started with the Xbox version as a base, unfortunately.
- There are a lot of sound bugs, because they play every sound on a separate channel rather than allowing them to interrupt themselves. This can throw off a lot of players.
- Some DHCs have the wrong amount of superfreeze, which can affect certain weird situations.
(- There isn't any slowdown. I realize this sounds good, but slowdown was what made some situations survivable and contributes quite a bit to gameplay.)

There is also magnetos air c.lk that recovers faster so doing the infinite causes air c. lk c.lk and opponent falls out. This happened to me at evo top 8 qualifiers match and the vid against me vs baby wolverine shows it. Then he goes and shit talks. Then I quit marvel at evo after that


EDIT:
BTW, since the xbox 360 achievements are a joke, I made some bonus achievements here.

Defeat opponent with 1 button only

defeat opponent with over 500 ping

defeat opponent with at least 10 snapbacks

defeat opponent while blindfolded

OCV (one character victory) your opponent with servbot

I challenge you to these online @Mike_Z

and if you wanna learn MSP, Santhrax or team Illan, watch the most popular team combo videos here.

Team Beast vol 1 - MSP

Team Beast vol 2- Santhrax

Team Beast vol 3 - Iron man, cable, doom

Psh, 500 ping is nothing. Try blocking Val online after level 3 lag switch poison. You need to have started blocking yesterday
