So to bring up a topic that I've been wanting to mention, how would guys rate the main rosters of just about every game in Marvel vs. Capcom?
looking purely at
marvel vs capcom specifically
MVC - 6/10
ehhhh, it's
good. not much else to say. even then though, this roster also gave us fan favorites like strider, captain commando, jin and venom so i'd hold it in high regard anyway
MVC2 - 7/10
ok, in terms of variety? not that great, but that's justified by the fact that it's mostly just an asset flip. however, this roster has one very strong point, especially for its time:
its size. this roster's sheer size is what made it stand out amongst its peers and one of the reasons why this game is legendary. hell, it's bigger than most
current fighting game rosters!
MVC3 - 7/10
this roster is also just plain.....ok. it's got a lot of new amazing picks but imo it also has too many randos whose slots could have gone to better characters. don't get me wrong, the weird picks are always one of the best parts in mvc and crossover games in general, but relative to the roster size, it did feel like a bit too much
UMVC3 - 9/10
i have
NO IDEA
how just 12 more characters improved this roster so damn much. phoenix, frank, ghost rider, vergil, strider, etc feel like they've been there since the beginning. this is the best roster in the entire series so far buuuuuut i have to admit there's still a LOT of bases left to cover, which is one of the main reasons i really want a new mahvel to happen
MVCI - 2/10
i don't even want to talk about this one
