I don’t think I’ll ever understand how people ENJOY 50-hit combos that do 20% damage and take 30 seconds to execute.
I don’t see TvC going down that same path though. Not with Baroque to get around damage scaling, and Mega Crash to get around ridiculously long and boring combos.
Like really. How the fuck can you post that in any seriousness? You played fucking Arcana Heart! Not even AH2, but AH1, which is full of 50-hit combos that do 20% damage and take 30 seconds to execute. What the hell is wrong with you?
I think we need to move on. Marvel 2 will go down as one of the most popular cult classics of fighters. Saying that, we need to enjoy TvC for what it is–TvC, not Marvel 2.
Lastly, there’s no law against enjoying both Marvel and TvC, right?
Basically what astral said.
I like Arcana Heart, but I’d LOVE it even more if it didn’t have that shit. Which, as far as I can see, AH2 moves more away from.
Creating a new fighting game off new characters is different than putting two companies with rights to a multitude of established characters together in a Vs. series.
A casual gamer played Street Fighter because they saw the crowds around the machine and it looked fun. A casual gamer/marvel fan played MVC or XvSF because they recognized the names.
