Anyone prefer MvC to MvC2?

[Banshee]

Actually, even gameplay wise, MVC2’s frantic assist based gameplay and emphasis on ridiculous combos and the complete gameplay goal of d*isabling your opponent *from beginning to end was such a drastic change from everything before it that I simply disliked it.

When MVC2 came out, it was just the last straw. It got crazier and crazier. People who suddenly never got into fighters jumped into MVC2 and it made me realize that players were waiting, WAITING for a game where their training mode time could = not having to consider their enemy in combat.

They got turned on by the idea that a fighter can exist where it’s their dexterity component and not the flow of back and forth combat that decided their victory. I really sat watching matches in the arcade watching such one sided fights, and it’s not that the other guy was an inferior player that he lost, but that he took one hit that sealed his fate the entire match.

That same dude could turn around and do the exact same thing to the other guy, had a sweep hit, or an overhead landed. It’s so ridiculous. I dare say a good chunk of the MVC2 matches at Evo could have gone either way at the flinch of an eye.

I guess it’s entertaining for the players, but I was just thankful for 3s back then because I just didn’t see the hype LoL. I guess I just don’t see the game within the game that others like so much, but turning your opponent into a training dummy and getting rid of the human element in your opponent kind of makes it less of a fighter in my eyes.

To each his own, I guess.

Big combos, big damage and infinites aren’t new to MvC2 though. I don’t see how it’s any crazier than past fighting games, especially the VS series.

And dexterity alone doesn’t win matches in MvC2, as you’re suggesting. I’ve played lots of training mode monkeys that simply lose badly because they don’t think.

DANG lookit all that HATE! I deliberately come into low-rated threads to see all the hate. It’s good fun. People get so worked up.

On topic, though, I guess: I loved MvC1. It was amazing at the time. But ultimately MvC2 is much, much better IMO. Even if I kinda suck at it

[Return_of_Shiki]

I thought it was obvious the MvC bathhouse was Honda’s. It actually has his name on the left side.

MvC2 backgrounds sucked, no argument here.

My fav was probably MSHvSF for nostalgia and presentation. The game would actually been decently balanced if they took out the fucking stupid Wolvie speed-up super.

Mvc2 > mvc

[_PFH_Lake]

MVSF gets borring really fast, even without playing Wolv your like why im I playing this game? XvSF was a lot better cept for Storm run away crap, MVC1 I still like better then MVC2. MVC2 god tiers like mag really get on my nerves. Id rather play vs double war, strider wolv, red venom then Magneto

You just had to love Venom/Captain America’s Duo Team Super name: DEATH STAR! Too bad the announcer never said the names like in MSF. :sad:

He only says the names of regular Supers, not duo Supers unfortunately.

This thread makes no sense from a 4Play perspective.

I forgot about DEATH STAR, but I also loved LEGION WAVE and SOUL SWORD!

Even if there is dizzy or no dizzy in mvc1, characters like War Machine will just infinite you with no penalty whats so ever. At least in mvc2 the opponent goes into a dizzy where you can’t combo them anymore. I find myself using characters no one else bothers to pick, like Capt. America, Morrigan, Ryu, Mega Man, and some others. I dont know, mvc1 just sort of had a small cast of characters and only a few of them are worth playing. Gold War machine is bullshit, so if i fight a GWM user, I just turtle and stay the hell away from him.

[System_1]

I’m way too white to play MvC2, MvC1 is pretty fun for me though :looney:

Hahahaha for sure.
I find myself too intimidated to wait in line at an MvC2 machine.

[System_1]

hahaha

yeah

what was up with that

I always loved the way that the opponent’s music would hit when their team-mate got KO’d in MVC1.

Like others have said, the backgrounds, music and aesthetics were nicer in the first game, but I think that’s mainly because it had a far far smaller roster.

Having said that, MVC1’s roster was pretty odd, I mean, no Iron Man? And why was Shuma Gorath and Blackheart featured? Not that it was horrible, but there were a lot of bigger names you would think would be featured first.

umm there was no blacky and shuma in MVC1, but they was in MSHVSF.

hmm with that im not shure b/c of the fact that MVC1 didnt have the god tier ppl on it, but MVC2 allowd me to do better combos with certain teams by using the assists and THC always made the match fun.:razzy:

I have both games and I have to say I enjoy MvC more than MvC2

I find myself a much bigger fan of the first 5 Marvel/xmen/vs games rather than MvC2 for sure.

anyone else like this?

Yeah, I own both copies and MvC is better because it is more balanced and Onslaught is the last boss. Not to mention it actually has Marvel levels unlike MvC2 like Daily Bugal.
To this day, the best tag team cross over type game ever released was Xmen vs Streetfighter. The lineup was amazing!!!

I don’t even know where Shuma Gorath and Blackheart even came from. They don’t seem Marvel to me. They’re in MSH vs SF.

I prefer the sequel honestly, I’m more familiar with it and the roster. C’mon Sakura and Dan for the win!

I didn’t know these marvel characters either at first (Shuma Gorath, Blackheart). Then I read ghostrider comic where blackheart ripped some guys lungs from his chest and devoured them. Don’t worry, Blackheart is officially cool, lol.
