Played the MVC2 port for the og Xbox at my friend's place as a kid, and was ecstatic to hear they were rereleasing it. Naturally, I mainly bought this for MVC2, but I found myself enamoured with the other games in this collection as well, particularly X-Men Vs. Street Fighter and the original MVC. Holy peak.

I'm only somewhat adequate at fighting games, but I find myself having a fun time regardless, even while getting folded like laundry by 20+ year veterans online. Good stuff.

Great Game with so much variety and options in the Marvel vs Capcom universe.

Full Review | Please Read | MVC2 | Legacy Player perspective

I been playing this game since Dreamcast>PS2, and the PS3 network until it closed down. I am veteran and my ranking is between 300-400 within Steam.

First thing
You will encounter mostly veterans in this game. If you are new to MVC2, then dont even start playing, dont even start learning. The mechanics of this game are complex and all manual. Unlike newer fighting games, there is no auto combos in this game. In addition you can call on unlimited assists, meaning, their is another layer of mechanics and combos to learn. To be any good you will need to master at least 12 characters, and their combos, and the timing on assist.

Cheap Fighting | Broken Characters
For the legacy players, this is a golden era of game play. For others facing legacy players or what I call "cheap player" that use unlimited combos and unlimited screen spam. This will ruin your experience and just anger you. This game is plagued with cheap players.

Some Tips:
- If you encounter people using unlimited combos, please do not enable. Simply quit the game and start a new match.

- If you encounter this team; Sentinal, Magnito, Pylock. Just quit, these people exploit the game and spam you unlimited. Game isnt fun anymore at this point. You're just blocking the entire time.
Same with the team; Doom, Stryder or Sentinal\Storm\Magnito. Just quit, these are cheap players.

This is not a complaint, but after playing so many years all I encounter now are these types of players. The game is awesome, but these type of players are plagued everywhere and ruin the experience. Especially on PC where they can use macros. Granted I know how to perform all these cheap moves myself, but only use them against other players with the same degree. If not you can find me online using very little assist and non-omega characters.

Enjoy !!
