Marvel Vs Capcom 2 isn't just one of the best crossovers of all time; it's also a very good fighting game. Fought between teams of three, Marvel vs Capcom is renowned for fast, skilful gameplay which leads to huge combos and over-the-top moves and effects. With 28 characters from each universe, there's plenty for fans of both Marvel and Capcom to enjoy and there's a lot of team combinations to learn and compete with. Marvel Vs Capcom lacks the massive player-base of its contemporaries (Street Fighter in particular) but it's always been a popular feature at fighting game community events, probably thanks to how awesome the whole thing looks at speed. The variety in team combinations means that two matches are almost never the same (even the top players have a variety of teams they like to use) and there's always plenty of chance for a player to make a big comeback, thanks to each character on a team possessing their own health bar. Plus, where else can you see Spider-Man duking it out with M. Bison or Jill Valentine from Resident Evil? Marvel Vs Capcom's originality shines through everywhere and even as a beginner it's fun to create your own team and throw some weak combos together. You'll get annihilated by the seasoned veterans who'll have you in a 100+ hit combo before you beg for mercy, but playing with equally nooby friends can be a great experience. If you don't feel like playing though, just enjoy this NSFW video of professional Marvel player Yipes doing what he does best - trash-talking whilst destroying at Marvel Vs Capcom 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZZUMjoxfZA
I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
