Its official MvC2 is back with online play!

???

Humans don’t play on the PS3?

Scrubwatch 09: Still hyped for getting my ass whipped on MvC2… I actually went to the (shitty) arcade the other day and played one of my friends in MvC2… also played some dude who used team shoto. Of course, I lost like a little bitch because I don’t really have any idea what I’m doing yet other than reading a lot about it. Apparently playing a ton of BB and SFIV doesn’t prepare you for the hype of Mahvel hehe

On the plus side when I was playing my friend I did AHVB him all day, which was pretty funny and scrub friendly. Not looking forward to seeing that all day in the first week.

They were showing off some prototype SF4 sticks at Evo on the MvC2 demo machines they had set up. So you had prototype sticks that would either phantom-press or not press buttons at 1080i on an LCD via the Playstation, so it was a little laggy and kinda random…
hard to judge, really. I’d be interested in feedback from anybody who was using their own stick and not the ones they had set up.

I enjoyed playing in 4:3 much more than 16:9. The life bars being closer to the timer is very important visually to me. =\

If the online play is similar to GGPO xmvsf, then it is identical to the ps3 setup that was at evo. Its the same amount of lag (but for different reasons)

I’d think it was the displays causing the lag on the marvel setups. When adjusting to the lag I was able to do the timing on my bnb combos plus rom and ff+capcom or IM. I was taking advantage of people not being able to block ahvb on reaction. People also said that after adjusting the visual effects in game (turning low res sprites on) that the lag did become less being more bareable to play. This is why I think it was the monitors and not the proto sticks. Hell it may be a combo of both.

august 13th for PS3 is pretty wack :confused: why I gotta wait longer to turn scrubs to ragequitters :confused:

The PS3 Home button was way too sensitive, and the buttons were also using really weird springs. Sometimes I would get an assist I never called, other times the button does nothing. Mike said you couldn’t even have your finger above a button or it’d go off, and I’d agree. Springs are tricky.

Best part for me was some guy doing the dumbest Cable/Sent stuff that I couldn’t punish because I couldn’t super at all. Truly horrific matches. :lol:
It’s going to be hilarious to see how this shakes out online. :tup:

So is it agreed that the lag was from the monitors and not the game itself? I found the lag and stick combination to be horrific in playability and I’m pretty sure many would agree with me. I remember watching duc miss all sorts of stuff while watching him play on these setups. I also remember tons of people just picking cable because he was way more playable than magneto, sent, and storm (yeah…those guys weren’t really working out for me with all the lag).

You know, I thought the “combo competition” was pretty amusing. Watching guys pick three blackhearts, two blackhearts, sentinels, etc. and Team Hyper Combo over and over again. I guess since these are ‘real’ combos…

I think most of the control issues, asides from lag, had to do with the square gates and (I assume) sanwa sticks in the proto-LE TE’s. I know I did not see a single person land hypergraph - tempest from a rom.

Hopefully the lag was due to the setups. We shall see in a week or so.

Thats the new add in mvc2 hd remix. mashing is unpunishable.

JoeZaza vs SooMighty.

…Just throwing that out there~

It’ll still be a lot of fun with or without God Tiers.

you can’t quote matches from 2003

LOL OMG fuck that vid, it haunts me:sad::sad::sad:, oh well hamm blows:arazz::arazz:

I hope the online community doesn’t always pick top tier characters like say, Storm, Sentinal, Magnus, Cable, Juggernaut. I think it would be way more fun if people just made up random teams that they like, like me, no matter how well they play. I will probabley choose my all time fav characters, Gambit, Venom, M.Bison.
Do you people think it will be like the arcade version, in that you don’t have to unlock all the characters. I would personally like to see no characters unlocked, so that I can actually unlock them myself, and get better in the process playing training or arcade.

I hope to play you gods online! you guys both went to evo? Didnt hamm go?

I think they are unlocked from the start and I don’t feel like people want to unlock all those characters on this old game.

we would hope the 2 week wait would be for them to improve on the coding… im getting my stick modded for both systems just incase i have to buy a 360 for marvel and t6

Juggernaut?

Anyway I’m sure enough people will play the game to as where you’ll get people playing with random Spiderman/Venom/Gambit teams.

Won’t be me though…
