Douglas J Falcon Simply grew too old to to carry on the legacy of Captain Falcon, so he left it Rick Wheeler, which is why Falcon sucks in Brawl. So after These years without being Captain Falcon, he decided to harness the electro-magnetic power within his knee, and now...

Not if she misses her Killer Bee Assault :p

You don't get flying screen if you miss, soo............Juggernaut can head crush x5 when she misses.


I'm prolly be going to play top tier teams (Santhrax, Combofiend) for ranked matches, but as for player matches, Ruby Heart 4 life.

Hi desert, Socal
For ranked you gotta use named teams, otherwise your rank will stay very low. I personally don't care.
I'll be mixing it up in player matches, really need to dust off my Cable and Sentinel.

Just like in SFIV online, I doubt ranked will really matter. I'm betting some really unorthodox teams will do really well online.

I just watched Inventive flow's video again for the first time in a year. It reminds me why Marvel2 is too intense!

If Marvel is gonna be anything like SF4, I'm sure after you're rank goes up you won't find any matches.
Part of the reason I stay in low rankings in SF4, though I've been told I play a good Ryu (which I hate btw)

Man I can never tell if a Ryu player is good or not because there are too many bad ones, and a few mediocre ones so when I face the legit ones I get mad that I lose to them because of all the scrub ones.

whoops, thats about SF4 haha.


About Marvel:
I don't see the point of ranked matches tbh, the competitive scene of this game is too dead for online to matter.

No, it will go through a short revival, because it will be obtainable by the masses (so you wouldn't have to buy a DC, Pay $80 for a ps2 copy, or hope your cpu will run it emulated).
Plus there is the possibility of a new batch of players wanting to join the competitive scene fueling the community a little more. But I guarantee that you will see more unorthodox teams.

So whos your fav character that you will be running in each of your teams?

The following characters can't be chosen as a fav:

Sentinel
Storm
Magneto
Cable
Cyclops
Iron Man
War Machine
Doctor Doom
Strider

As for me, Ruby Heart of course.

Morrigan, Sonson, BB Hood, Ruby, Psylocke (as an actual character).
I just don't know all Ruby's super pattern tricks, they take some quick thinking to do in an actual match, but lead to some pretty awesome combos.

My favorite high tier team is MSP
My favorite custom team is either Morrigan/Ruby/Cammy or Morrigan/Strider/Psylocke aka The True MSP.

High Tier = Santhrax
Custom = Ruby/Iron Man/Doom

I'm thinking of trying team Alpha Counter, Cyclops-B/Cable-B/Capcom-B
Run away and build meter, if you block, Alpha Counter xx SoB/AHVB/Captain Sword xx DHC

I'm wondering who is a better throw assist character, Zangief, or Anakaris?

Zangief has some cool stuff with AA throw, but Anakaris is an overall better character.
Anakaris' throws is kinda like a setup thing, with mostly higher character being able to utilize it, though it sets up lots of combos or supers. I prefer using Anakaris in AA, equals a lot of lockdowns.

I forgot about Anakaris, he was in some of my teams. Gotta re-evaluate some of my teams, cause he is pretty good.

Gief's air throw is impossible to land without setting it up.
Gief's throw assists have some sick nasty follow ups. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjWcVgSj7iY
Anak's throw is too hard to follow up with imo.
Anak is a better character though, like judge said.
Whenever I use Gief seriously, I run him on point, build a meter, go mech and gtfo. Then I exploit his lariat assist.

oh man you just reminded me of those infinite combos, It's going to suck playing this game online and being slaughtered by these people that can do those things...

I merged all relevant M vs C 2 threads for the sake of keeping it alive, since it'll be a new release I believe. Also changed the title for accuracy on the thread's direction.

Haven't really picked anything up on PSN outside of Rock Band songs, but might have to get this for all the brokenness/awesomeness of MvC2.

Thank god the sound track is the same. The jazz suits the game so well.

I keep seeing so many Sentinel/Magneto/Storm teams online @_@

I'm still working on my team right now, and I can't decide what I like. I use Cammy in all the other street fighter games, but she feels so different in this one.

Megaman, B.B. Hood, and Venom I'm trying to be good with since that's my old team. Mid tier characters yes, but I still use them. =D
