I think we all get by now that you are madly in love with TvC, to say that you prefer the art style along to MvC’s slick and stylish comic book art is a bit… jarring to say the least.
I acknowledged it was a good game, but it was in large part a failure and even if you want to say otherwise the fact that the financial numbers and fanbase have to say otherwise.
But don’t let me disrespect you entirely, because you’ve made it clear how charming and interesting TvC is, and honestly I look back at using Doronjo/Casshern and Megaman/Tekkaman every now and again and will turn the game on and marvel at its interesting little advances towards the Vs. series.
MvC3 is the future, in my opinion. There is still too many things built lazily in TvC, you may say that there is a lack of cookie cutter combos (not sure why) but everything about the game was streamlined but lacked a bit of flair to it. Movesets were lazy, character types as it is are a bit hard to overlook, as playing with a character like Ryu is easily replicated when playing with someone like Batsu, Morrigan, Blade, or Yatterman. Don’t getme wrong, a few standouts like Doronjo (who I’ve never seen before) or Frank West (who has never quite been done before) stand out, but the game was alittle too flat.
The major changes in TvC are moreso cosmetic, at its most basic level the combos all generate around the same button presses into the same combos, and this is alot of what MvC3 is going to get hammered on time and time again, cause something as simple as ABCE>ABC Jump cancel > ABCD > QCF + AB or just hitting an assist untl you get the OTG, will be expected after awhile for a decent player.
TvC’s also looking at a plethora of balancing issues, as the first version had a character you could infinite, or how Chun Li was basically the answer to every problem in the game, and giant characters are just as much an interesting aside as they are dancing between overpowered (PTX) and pathetic (Gold Lightan.)
Don’t let me kill your buzz for too long, its really not that hard to shit on TvC for poor design choices and a lack of real emphasis on Capcom’s part, but I loved the same and its a shame it got little to no love back. I would rather have that, easy, charming little game be the successor then most other vs. series games, and at its core it has the same MvC vanilla charms to it, but thats about it.
