How to play mvc2?

when you get a new color/skins for a char btw, what do you press to use different colors?

Different buttons.

Roundhouse will give black Sentinel, and Assist 1 will give Black Dr. Doom. You’re going to have to figure out Spiral on your own.

ah okay cool man! thanks… so there is only ONE extra color for the char? in other words, 3 different colors for each char?

No, there are six different color possibilities with each character. Each button corresponds to a different color.

ah okay! what i thought, like all the other capcoms fighters… do you know if there are any purple skin of dr.doom/spiral?

go here http://www.gamefaqs.com/coinop/arcade/file/562932/7434

Doom
(Cape, Garb)/Armor
X: Green/Gray Y: Dk. Green/Green-Gray ZL: Dk. Blue/Gray
A: Lt. Green/Lt. Grey B: Lt. Brown/Gray CR: Br. Green/Gray

Sprail
X: Lt. Blue/Lt. Green Y: Lt. Green/Green-Yellow ZL: Grey/Lt. Grey
A: Blue/Yellow B: Purple/Lt. Purple CR: Dk. Blue/Lt. Grey

the best u could do is maybe dark blue/grey for doom and purple for spiral

Except for some characters that capcom got really lazy with, like Samurai and colossus.

Shame, colossus has the absolute worst color ‘choices’

im a total noob, and wanted to pick up mvc2 for fun “again”. so my question is (quite simple to answer, i assume) how to play mvc2, in generall that is. i’ll give you a few dots on what i wanna know/what i mean.

**** what is it you always try to achieve? i guess its only a combo which you later on combo into a super? so you like fly around/jump around tryna get that combo to link to super? got damn this question feels dumb… but im a total noob, and from watching vids (when you’re a noob) well i think some ppl know what im talking about you understand like 5% of whats happening.

**** you can link combos after a super?

**** how often do you use assists? very much? what situations?

**** whats the best thing to do on opponents wakeup?

**** you cant block when you fly right? when is it good to fly etc?

but most important is, just how to play it in generall, the what-u-tryna-achieve question.

I’ll tell ya right now three easy steps to get good at marvel:

1 - Give up any social life you have

Yes, no phones, no friends, no girlfriends, no internet, just hours and hours of marvel. By the time you’ve mastered marvel, you should be so into the game that you think storm is yelling b/c of you. . . :wonder:

2 - Watch tourneys, not combo videos

Half the crap you see in combo videos is not possible to do when your playing the opponet. Just watch matches of people who use your fav charachters. If your fav charachter isn’t being used, then get a new fav charachter.

3 - Get to the arcade

Thinking your gdlk b/c your pulling off ocv’s against the computer on the hardest setting is a problem. You need to get to the arcade and test your skills against the random scrubs and “couldn’t qualify for evo” peeps. Beat a scrub and you feel superiour, beat a guy who has been going to evo, but is still a nobody. . . your start to think “maybe I should go to evo”.
