The Old Newbie Thread

ty m1x4h, its wut i was lookingn for o.0

How bad is the Xbox version compared to the DC and PS2? Anything major I should know about?

Alot of glitches taken out, people will say that it’s worthless, but it’s not, I own the DC and PS2 versions, and have played the xbox version.

The DC is by far the better port, the PS2 and XBOX are about even (some people say the PS2 has more slowdown) some glitches taken out, they don’t look pretty, they don’t sound pretty (PS2 and XBOX) and Alpha Counters are fucked (on PS2).

Now, that said, every port has the needed basics, in fact, I learned ROM and IM infinite on PS2 and went right to DC no problems, I heard alot of whining about that being a problem, if there is a timing diff, it’s very little.

You have sent unblockable on PS2 as well (alot of marvel players said this WASEN’T on the port, but it was).

I think PS2 had juggs glitch, but XBOX didn’t, I know PS2 at least had a couple of glitches that the xbox took out.

HERE IS THE MAIN PROBLEM. Dreamcasts are so cheap and since MVC2 can be had for free very easy, that it might be cheaper or about the same to buy a dreamcast and get marvel (should cost around 20 bucks for the DC, a good converter is 20 for PS to DC @ www.innovation1.com).

So, because the xbox and ps2 versions are so rare, you will probably end up SAVING money buying the dreamcast, and getting MVC2, than buying the port for another console.

Where can this “free” MvC2 be gotten at? I want to get MvsC2 for my friends birthday.

it’s only “free” if you get the Dreamcast version, due to the dreamcast having a hole, you can burn DC games to regular CD-R’s and they work, this is kinda off topic, so PM me if you want to anything more.

I have only been playing this game for just over a year now, I am a late bloomer in this. However I have already foudn my favorite team, and it is a wierd combonation, becasue it does not have ONE Top Tier.

My team is Omega Red-AntiAir, Silver Samurai-Laucnher, Anakaris-Ground

This team is what I started with, and after many many losses, I got better and actually can win with this team, I can actually beat a some top tier teams. Everyone that I played said this team sucked, and at first glance, it looks like it. But this team has SOOO many possiblities and new stuff to try.

Many may wonder why the fk do I use the Samurai Launcher , its beacuse it can continous Anakaris’ Curse infinte, something that was only possible with AntiAir assists or Juggy, but the Samurai continouse it up perfectly, while Omega sets it up nicely. As well as the THC, the THC does at least 3/4 damage to and assist and 1/2-3/4 on a Point. MOre damage on big guys. TO this day i still use this team and win alot. I am in no way teh Master of Anak, Sammy, or Omega yet, but I am the only one who uses them in my area and actually win with a “looks liek shit team”.

this was in response to a post in this thread that is it too late to start form scratch. My answer is no it is not.

Too late to start from scratch?

Wait, what do you consider starting from scratch? I started a year or so ago…I´m sure some people that have been here remember my scrubby posts…but that´s beside the point.

As long as this game still has interest put into it, it´ll always be possible to start from scratch. Sure, your competition has been playing for a long time, but if you work hard I´m positive it´s not too late.

noob question, why is it whenever 2 of ur chars die, that the person with 1 char only, always loses.

Doesn’t matter if he’s the top tier char with full energy and the other guy has all 3 players with 10% energy, the one with all 3 wins.

Is the numbers game, that bad ?

also I have another question, I see certain chars are picked just because they are good assists, like Cap Commando and Tron.

Is there anyway who is average but has great supers ?, so great enough to be picked for that.

also how do you get a perfect, do all 3 chars need full energy or just the one is kills last

P.S I dont really play MVC2 but like to see it being played from time to time

Ok, as far as the person with 1 char goes, I’ve seen comebacks, but if you lost 2 of your char’s and he still has all 3 with good health,…

Obviously the person with 3 is better than the one that has only 1 char, so it’s probably a good bet that he’s going to continue to win, thats basics, just think about it bud.

Perfect = all chars full health

and “Is there anyway who is average but has great supers ?, so great enough to be picked for that.”

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, I tried to guess, but I really have no idea what you are trying to say.

basically someones super who is brillant in every department that you would pick them, so as soon as you get a few bars, then you would tag that char in and use their super and hope it connect.

maybe their super is powerful, fast, great priority, chip damage, you cam keep pulling it off over and over again ?

uh…

well thats not a good reason to pick anyone really, and not a good strat at all to just have someone tag in and try to get a lucky super lol.

Storms hail super is… kinda … sometimes you can spam it… never good to just waste meter for no reason though.
Man just change that gameplan haha.

Cable has the best super in the game no questions asked.

for hitting some one ONCE with it in either Tk, or Sj cancel style, the oppenent is force to eat all the meters you got.

if cable didn’t have that then he wouldn’t be the worse top tier, in reality that super made cable…Cable

Without it he would be nothing but a DECKED OUT high mid tier character. Infact without that super cable is fun. i sometimes play and don’t use the super, or will only catch someone once with it, and either save the meters or just dhc, mainly when playing my mid tier friends, But if i fight someone like Mag or storm…Fuck that i burn those bitches. In reality Cable is the Mid tier hero cause think for min. IN how many games are mid tiers only useable because of there Supers…

IMO Most characters in all games are good because of supers, but in marvel what makes someone top tier is control, and the only reason that cable is top tier is because the threat of getting hit once and have to eat all the meters is enough to put the best in this game on edge and be aware of what will happen if they fuck up, But besides that cable IMO has some of the funnest moves ever in the game.

you know you gotta love the j hp + Drones, Tk Gernade, then Tk lp viper beam for the pin…Cable is really the ONLY character in this game that is known for having an Awsome super unlike chun or yun in 3s. HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GONNA MAKE A CHARACTER THAT ELITE JUST BECAUSE OF A SUPER IN A STREET FIGHTER GAME???. oh Well.

Just remember…Everybody Gets shot…=p

Yeah I see, I thought Sents a good super as well, the Hand one
( that sounds kinda faggoty doesnt it)

sents is a really good one simply because of the recovery… i mean he has movement wen the super is still goin on… meaning you do drones and dash in and try to launch them for a damaging air combo… but still a super isnt n e thing to pick a character for magneto has the hardest super with the temptest to actually connect and get full damage from… cuz think about your not jus gonna walk up and do it theyll see it coming a mile away and if your playing a cable ull eat 5 bars…

wats makes a good super is IMO damage and the bility to connect from n e thing… cable is prime canidate 1 s.hk= 5 bars… sentinel 1 RP= 5 bars… storm one s.lk = ac ending in lightning storm for some serious damage… one that people 4 get is juggernaut… n e move that lands can lead to a headcrush and a glitched headcrush after a j.hp s.hp is worth alot

Just curious, and this question goes out to the people who have way more knowledge than me and especially experience when it comes to MvC2. However, looking at the tier’s listing for 2nd Tier and noticing how quite low Spiral is placed upon there, I’m just curious about that. Because Duc has displayed that a Spiral Team can infact compete with many if not almost all of the Top Tier teams, so wouldn’t Spiral be up higher in the 2nd Tier’s ranking then where she is placed now?

Or is it in no particular order, or that Duc is the only Spiral player that is just that damn good? I am just curious about everyone’s opinions, because to me, Duc has displayed this team with Spiral at point on more than one occassion, so I just felt that maybe Spiral should be bumped up. I mean, it could be my inexperience, or lack of knowledge that leads me to say she needs to move up, but does anyone disagree or agrees with my comment?

btw…not trying to start a flame war, just trying to get some feedback on this, that’s all.

that list is wrong.

Spiral is argueablely THE best mid tier.

i can’t say who’s the best mid tier wise, but as far as the tops it goes like this.

1-Storm
2-Sentinel
3-Magneto
4-Cable

Well there is more to it than just Duc’s videos.

One of the reasons that Spiral is down there, contrary to where she was when the game first started, is the reason that she is very difficult to use. As a matter of fact, she is more difficult to use than 3 out of the 4 gods IMO. In today’s marvel community, where one mess up in execution can quite possibly cost you a match, Spiral can be very hard to use correctly. One mess up with her, and she is basically dead.

That’s probably one of the reasons though. I don’t play Spiral really well, so a Spiral user should chime in on this one.

CALL MR. VADER UP NIGGA!!!

Hmm, from the 2nd Tier’s listings, I would assume that she would be better than at least maybe Blackheart and Doom when she’s on point with her team for assist backup. Maybe it’s just “me” from seeing too much of Duc beasting with Spiral/Cable/Sent, but for me, I haven’t seen any good point BlackHeart or Doom with assist do well in along while, maybe aside from Clockwork when he’s got Strider/Doom, I dunno, I know that she’s not within the Big 4, but at least higher that what she’s been placed in the 2nd Tier rankings on the first page.
