IGN: 8.5

Decent review...just some weird negatives they threw in there....

They talk about the depth of the characters, then say there isnt enough of them...

Lack of modes....I cant speak for everyone, but i cant do w\o Time Attack and Survivor Modes...especially since theres a deep practice and challenge mode...More costumes would be cool though...

Yeah, I didn't really like that review....I think they knocked it for not having a spectator mode, but I thought I read somewhere that that would come later? SFIV had some stuff (actual content, not just costumes) that wasn't added until later with a patch too, right?

I think I'm getting this...enjoyed playing the PSN remake of MVC2. And like I said before, gives my SFIV fightstick a new lease on life.

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3 (360/PS3)

I probably will never play it online, just because I suck at fighting games, but love playing them for some reason. LOL

I've also played MvC2 for the last 10 years. Had it on PS2, then had it on DC, now have it on XBLA. Love playing it, always a good quick pick up fighting game. Helps that I love the characters as well.

But..I still suck. LOL

Just hit the guide button and exit to dash when you're about to win. It'll simulate the experience.

Do you guys think it is necessary to buy a fight pad with this game?

There's not as many buttons here so I don't think so.

It's not that fighting games have all that many well-kept secrets, but why is every review I'm reading for this game spoiling the final boss?

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3 (360/PS3)

I was pumped about this game (and to some extent, still am), but 20 fewer characters than MvC2??? That's a lot - especially since half of the characters you have no interest in using anyway, and with 3-person teams, you will end up using the same guys a LOT. Definitely dampens my interest.

This, to me, reeks of planned DLC. They'll add character packs for $10 or whatever, and eventually get the number up to where it should have been at launch. I'm thinking of passing just for that reason alone...don't want to support that model of DLC marketing.

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3 (360/PS3)

I meant to say I CAN do without a Survivor, Time Attack mode.

As far as the characters, I think I can live with 20 fewer...especially if they have depth like the reviews say...

The two Wolverines, War Machine\Iron Man, Guile\Charlie combos werent really necessary ro me in MVC 2

Not to mention so characters that didnt really have any depth to them....

It's almost here. That's me on the right.

That is what gaming is all about. Getting that rush opening the new box.

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3 (360/PS3)

Like Edotd said, the cast here is much more useful than in MvC2. Aside from Sentinel+X factor being crazy, every other character has a fighting chance. Even Cap who has some disadvantages can even the score with assist combos and wall bounce.


More than anything this is the most FUN I've had in a fighting game in years. It's not better than SF 4 but it's more fun. There are more than enough characters to satisfy once you dig in. Only thing is Capcom has a lot of joke chars and small chars when we could have used more from their roster.

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3 (360/PS3)

Good to know, X's...thanks for your impressions. Still, though, useful or not (it's all relative), there are a lot of fan faves that didn't make the cut that I used to like using. No Mega Man? No Venom, Strider, Juggernaut, or Gambit? C'mon, guys...those are huge exclusions in my opinion. Only to see them re-appear in a month for $10 extra? Gag.

Having said that, the game looks really good. Will wait to hear from you guys after release.

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3 (360/PS3)

Licensing issues with Strider and last year there was an interview with one of the producers in Famitsu saying he wanted Venom, Juggs, and some others, but Marvel said no. They wanted to see some less some recognizable characters in the game instead.

Why the hell doesn't Gamestop have a midnight release for this?

I went out to mine to pre-order the Show today, and they said they didn't get enough pre-orders for Marvel to do one. It goes store by store, so some might do them while others won't.

Re: Marvel vs Capcom 3 (360/PS3)

3 Gamestops near me are having midnight releases.

The one near my house does. Maybe it's based on the amount of people who pre-ordered at a given store.
