I’ve been playing MvC2 in the arcade and on the Dreamcast since it first came out. As everybody knows, back then CRT 4:3 was the norm. Lately when I played on LCD widescreen TVs, I can’t seem to begin Mag’s ROM infinite or perform Iron Man’s normal jump infinite.
I can do Iron Man’s infinite only when my eyes are closed (not really a hard thing to do), but something about widescreen TVs screws me up when I try to do it with my eyes open. Apparently SSF2T at EVO2K7 was played on CRTs because of input lag on other monitors because of the PS2’s upscaling.
I still play MvC2 with my Dreamcast, so what I’m wondering is if the problem comes from input lag via LCD/Plasma television sets or because 16:9 “squishes” everything? I really can’t tell if one’s causing the problem or both. I’m sticking with CRT sets, but it’s not an option when I go to other people’s houses.
Wtf is input lag from PS2 upscaling? I never really understood that either.
