    If you can pull off even one of the games many infinites to kill your opponent from 100% to zero over the internet then you deserve a cookie.

    I don't generally like MvC2, I'm sure some of the guys who were around in the earlier SF4 threads may remember some of my rantings, but the game is just pure fun with a bunch of people playing casual matches all around the same skill level. Playing with you folks will either make or break Marvel for me.

    I'm irritated that you don't have to unlock characters, I enjoyed playing through the game a bunch of times with all the different characters to unlock others.

    Seriously? MvC 2 had the worst fucking unlock system ever. It took aaaages to get everything. Honestly, nobody should have to go through arcade mode more than one time, especially when there's online play. Unlocking characters in SF4 was bad enough; this game is like 5 times worse.

    I unlocked everything in two versions already. I used to just turn on the training mode and go to work. Come back ten hours later and I'd have enough points to unlock one or two new character. Good times.

    There seem to be a lot of misconceptions about the infinites in this game. I mean removing them wouldn't even really make the game less broken. Mag's attacks are still going to be faster than everyone, and plus rom only does 1 damage after a certain point so if anything resets and the like add really interesting decisions into the mix.

    If it's one thing that wrecks this game it is triangle jumping.

    And yes xmen vs street fighter is superior.
    The guy just plain out-played an opponent who had a massive advantage.

    He won because hes JUSTINNN WONNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG.

    He more or less always wins.

    MvsC2 is arguably the most fun fighting game ever.

    It is also possibly one of the most horribly unbalanced. I'm still a bit mystified by the giant competitive scene it has.

    Also Captain Commando/Strider/Amingo ftw

    My friends and I played this casually all throughout high school and even at our scrubtastic level the game was obviously imbalanced. Despite that we always had a blast picking our favorite characters and kicking ass.

    We had some of the most ridiculous matches with megaman/megaman/megaman vs. megaman/megaman/megaman

    Wow... none of you play top tier?

    That’s actually pretty cool, and good for me. Most of my friends only play top tier... which gets boring to me after a while. Magneto, Storm, Sentinel. Magneto, Phsylocke, Sentinel. Cable, Cyclops, Sentinel.

    I personally enjoy rolling with Jill, Captain Commando, Iron Man/Cable. Eh, I like a lot of the characters, just doesn't usually work out to well against MSP. :)

    Well there was the one with the odd man out who used Strider and Doctor Doom. And he won, so thats gotta count for something.

    But he still used sentinel.

    My team usually consists of Hayato/Strider/Gambit. Sadly I didn't really have anyone to play against but I had a rockin' good time playing against the computer. It was basically my play-thing on the hardest difficulty.

    CvS gets super annoying with all the roll canceling shenanigans though. Fun game, but while we might see Storm/Sent/Mag/Psy type teams all day on MVC2, we'll be seeing A-groove Bisons "painting the fence" all day on CVS2. I guess each game has its own poison. At least in MVC2, you get to spam buttons and get pretty pictures on the screen :)

    I'd still like to see Hokuto No Ken, Testunoko v Capcom and maybe one day a 3S HDremix version on 360 sometime. So few adjustments need to be made to 3S and it'd be such a balanced game.

    I suck horribly at all versus games, but it'd going to be sweet rocket punching fools all day. I guess I won't feel bad now if the Dreamcast dies on me.

    Speaking of, I can't wait for the HD re-birth of the King of Fighters series. It's ludicrous how much time and effort they're putting into that. IIRC each animator can complete 1.5 frames of animation a day. I shudder to think how many man hours it took to generate the entire cast.

    Also, shouldn't your sig read "If I'm wrong please correct."?

    Bizarre I know. PC gaming is still pretty much unheard of in Japan. Well, except for the obvious:
    Well, the idea that hentai makes up most commercial Japanese PC games is a misconception. Hentai, to varying degrees, makes up all commercial Japanese PC games.
