From Gamefaqs:

Unlock Characters Faster

If you have the Naomi arcade version of MvC2, you’ll need to wait for the characters to unlock either by waiting or by tripping the credits switch on the machine repeatedly. Alternatively, you can enter these hidden unlock codes to get the game ready for tournament play immediately. You need to do the codes in order, but if you’re already on level 25 then you can just skip the ‘‘jump to level 24’’ step.
Unlockable How to Unlock
JUMP TO LEVEL 24 (unlock 16 characters) Enter Game Test Mode. Move cursor to Demo Sound. Press in order: Assist 2, Assist 1, Roundhouse, Fierce, Short, Jab. Exit Game Test Mode.
JUMP TO LEVEL 48 (unlock 8 characters) Enter Game Test Mode. Move cursor to Damage Level. Press in order: Roundhouse, Assist 2, Assist 1, Roundhouse, Fierce, Roundhouse. Exit Test Mode.
JUMP TO LEVEL 72 (unlock 8 characters) Enter Game Test Mode. Move cursor to Continue. Press in order: Jab, Fierce, Jab, Assist 1, Short, Fierce. Exit Game Test Mode.
JUMP TO LEVEL 84 (unlock 4 characters) Enter Game Test Mode. Move cursor to Difficulty. Press in order: Fierce, Short, Assist 1, Jab, Assist 2, Jab. Exit Game Test Mode.

In Console Version:

You must buy everything. YES, you must even buy the concept drawings, and alternate colors.

Quick ways to do it:

  1. Put damage on max, difficulty on easy, and rounds to 30 seconds. Pick a good team that will take advantage of the increased damage scaling. (Power characters, sentinel, cable, good teams… just not chip characters for the most part) You’ll play through the game much faster that way, and aquire points at a much faster rate. I’ve personally unlocked all characters on DC in a single day.

  2. If you don’t mind running up your light bill then just put the game on training mode and leave it like that (pro tip: don’t pause :rolleyes:). You’ll aquire points at a much slower rate (something like 1000 pts. per hour, I’m guestimating, it may be less or more), but I suppose it takes less effort. My personal method is number 1.

Hope that helps

Is this tier list in order or is it just organized in groups?I agree with this tier list for the most part but i always thought storm and sent was over Magneto and cable.

Team Ilan - Ironman/Cable/Doom
Team angel - Magneto/Setinel/Ironman (iirc)

It’s in groups. Such single character rankings are useless anyways because there’s too much controversy attached to them. Hell even the third tier is somewhat up for debate, but I decided to include it anyways just so newbies can have a better feel of characters outside the top tiers.

Actually team Angel is probably Storm/Sentinel/Iron Man as I can’t see anything working too well with Mag/Sent… Besides Rocket Punch, HSF doesn’t DHC from MT as far as I remember…

Edit: Also, can’t forget team Z, Doom/Juggernaught/Tronne…

ok cool thanks.Btw thanks for putting this up.:lovin:

Where Row at?

Row= Mag/Cable/Sentinel

war machine is third tier

and skittles leaks are real.

Listen new guy, if you think he’s 3rd tier, great, we don’t care. Tier lists have been done to death, and don’t state how you feel as fact. Thanks!

(You can still make it!)

do you have a notepad version of this thread?

i’d like to read all of this at home…

Why don’t you copy and paste the thread unto a email and mail it to yourself from work/school/whatever?

Hi, newbie here. I’ve been playing for about one week, and I had a lot of doubts about the game. But I read almost every thread in here, and I’m learning very fast. I have just one more doubt, how do you wavedash? I just play in arcades, so I can’t test in home, but I’ll practice anything you tell me when I go to the machines to lose with the good players

dash, tap down to cancel the dash, dash again (with 2 punches). It doesn’t matter how you start the dash, but most people wave with 2P d 2P, but you can F,F, D, 2P

Just a little more info on wave dashing… The ability to cancel your dash with anything brought some to realise that it’s possible to make your dash longer by breaking it into segments. ParryPerson said all else you really need to know…
