There’s more than a couple who prefer 3 vs 3 but you knew that. I get it though, you like 2 vs 2. That or your defending the game in a “Don’t complain about a game that’s not out yet” kind of way. Do you buds.
Glad you’re so loyal to the genre.
Out of curiosity which one do you think is one of the best?
XvsSF while I liked it was hot dog shit, but cool, at least I see where you’re coming from. I honestly liked COTA and MSH better than those as actual games. MvsSF was just okay to me.
The 3 vs 3 format was that much more enjoyable to me hands down. As far as current gamers it also seems to be the most popular but eh. Nobody seems to talk fondly of Xvs SF or almost
anything before MvC2 on a regular basis.
Who knows, the game is still in development. It might become my favorite despite my initial impression.
XvSF on paper should play like a 2v2 version of UMvC3. However, in practice, the game plays has much more emphasis on neutral since not everything leads to a TOD (that, plus the inherrent “sloppiness” you feel in these older games with less buffering and hitstop). The lack of assists also played into this, while movement was much more important since you couldn’t lock opponents down and had to actually chase them. Yes, it does have a ton of infinites, but these, or more precisely, the freedom that allows for these, are what make it in the eyes of older players, the most fun to play in the series. The is especially evident when compared to MSHvSF which tried to remove almost all the infinite combo archetypes, but ended up being the most hated game of the series, because it made everyone too bland, too similar to each other.
See this is why I love MvC2, and even broken ass UMVC3. There was variety and lots of broken shit. The 3 vs 3 added to it along with the assists. Superior format imo. XvSF is good nostalgia, but honestly doing the cyclops infinite over and over would get old very, very fast. Shit doing Sabrtooths infinite over and over got old very fast. There’s a reason why people never ask to revisit the game. It was fun, but ultimately utter dog shit for longevity.
Marvel may be like yo, our characters can’t be getting wh00ped for free this time around.
“Why ain’t nobody playing Spidey in these finals? Where’s friggin Thor?” It would be hilarious
if the top tier revolved around Marvel characters.
Ha, didn’t think about that. I like it! Wasn’t Dhalsim secret Japanese top tier though?
No? Least Captain Commando got a lot of action. I suppose Marvel didn’t do so bad in UMVC3
either.
