I think I have already played more Ultimate than I did Vanilla. Very cool game, add me on PSN if you want to stomp somebody.

Heroes and Heralds Mode coming out on Dec 19th.

Capcom Unity will provide glimpse into Heroes and Heralds each day up until the release, here's their preview for the offline mode.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/brelston/blog/2011/12/14/heroes__heralds:_the_offline_campaign

In the offline mode, the goal is to dominate each territory on this hexagonal grid. After choosing either the Hero or Herald faction, you then hop from place to place, either defending Earth as a Hero or trying to claim it as a Herald of Galactus. Each victory brings you closer to owning that territory, and if you achieve 100% ownership of a given battleground you're rewarded with a top-notch Ability Card. However... the final battle for the last 10% is a real doozy, with brutal AI opponents armed with particularly strong Ability Cards. A tough battle, but all that playing will yield many Ability Cards for the online portion, where you're facing down other players.

Thankfully, there's more to do in the offline mode than move a percentage bar. Notice the Hit List in the lower right corner - as you move from area to area, the Hit List alerts you as to which characters inhabit a given battleground. If you pay attention to this data and "take out" a full row of the Hit List, a bonus background will appear. This newly unlocked area will award even better Ability Cards, but if you lose a match on that stage, poof, the area disappears.

Here's a preview of what to expect with this mode

Just got the game (regular, not Ultimate edition) after trading some stuff in at gamestop. Extra 50% trade-in credit when you buy a pre-owned product this week, btw.

Not really into fighting games so the regular edition was good enough for me.

I'm very happy with it so far, and I'm only playing with the Simple controls right now to start out. But it's a lot of fun, single player and against friends.

My go-to team is Iron Man, Super Skrull, and Ryu right now.

I still come back to this game every now and then but for me it is easily the most difficult fighting game I have ever played. My strategy is decent but execution really lets me down.

This game is like some hot girl you know you should stay away from because she will make you pull your hair out but for some reason you keep coming back like the dirty dog that you are.

I know this is game has been out for a while and the last post was years ago but I thought maybe the people that have played this game could help me. I got my PS3 back after some time and wanted to get a Marvel vs Capcom game. I've read the last few pages of this thread and it seemed it wasn't that good of a game. After searching my download history I found that I had the Marvel vs Capcom 2 demo so I downloaded it again. I wanted to know which one of the two games would you recommend me : 2 or 3(ultimate if possible, but if I can't get it then the vanilla version). Thanks in advance.
