Im gonna take you for a ride

🗣️ I wanna take you for a ride

Played this on dreamcast 100% ;) legally ;) and what do you know, its peak! This game is ridiculous and needs to be freed so more people can play it today without the trickery, of all the retro fighters i've played this is the one i've had the most fun with without a doubt. How could I not, the roster alone is so crazy for its time, you can air combo iron man as a big cactus bloke or send thanos flying as one of tron bonne's one foot tall lego-man looking servbots.

As a crossover this game is a dream and in many ways I just don't know if it could happen in the same way today, i'm much more of a capcom guy than marvel but so many of the marvel characters are a stupid amount of fun to play too. Its the goofy cast i'm drawn to though like the original characters, the mega man characters and bb hood who feels insanely strong in this game. Also by god they went crazy with some of the moves didn't they, you're able to transform into dark sakura or mecha zangief, unlocking entirely new options. Mechanically this still feels so good 24 years later, so many tools to play around with with near endless team and assist combinations. Its also utterly frantic, like this is chaos in the best way, shit going full screen is just a given and you can zip across the screen at absurd speeds. Combos can be looped and extended for so long but you need a ton of skill to be able to pull them off consistently, watching TAS play this makes it look like a completely different game. Plus this is a game that has not only stood the test of time, but people are still figuring stuff out today.

I have to talk about the art and the soundtrack because this game is beautiful, just so colourful and full of personality. From bengus' gorgeously hand drawn character art to the brilliantly expressive sprite work, this game just oozes joy and love for the craft, I don't know if any game with Marvels' name on it could be this effortlessly creative and charming today but they're welcome to prove me wrong. At a time where sprites were on their way out and 3D was becoming more and more common its fantastic to see such high quality spritework take centre stage. I was particularly enamoured by the little details like during Jill Valentine's 'summon' moves where she looks back in shock and then either hops over the dog or ducks underneath the crow, its so cute. There's just too many of these neat little details to list, all bundled up in a game that, despite this, is pure maximalism and I love that.
As for the soundtrack, apparently this was something that was singled out as one of the weaker aspects at the time? Nah, sorry, incorrect take detected. This soundtrack goes HARD, it didn't need to go so hard but it did it anyway, I wasn't expecting the tracks to be like hyperactive lift music but i'm so glad it is because it delivers some total bangers. The synthetic basslines give off that infectious groove, the drum fills are non stop and the horns are just so catchy, this is perfect foot tapping, head bopping goodness. Does it suit what's going on onscreen? Hell yes it does, but its like chocolate and salt, they should be at odds with each other but they actually complement each other wonderfully.

Fighting games are good


This game has no right to be as good as it is.

played this at an arcade with my brother while at vegas

this game cemented sakura as my street fighter main for the years to come, good game

Que no se noten las preferencias de Capcom de ponerle la IA mas hijueputa a sus personajes

no me termino de convencer el boss final, pero en general esta bueno

Marvel 2 will forever be my favorite game of all time and that opening will be my favorite gaming memory forever

Maybe it's because I played a bad version (only the PS3 one, yep), but I really disliked the gameplay. Felt like a huge downgrade compared to the first one.

IM GONNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE

Siempre me gusto la enorme variedad de personajes que habia en este juego, me encantaria que pudiesen darle un port para pc

O maior sentimento de nostalgia/infância.

It’s so fucking cool, so many characters and I love the art

The music, the art style, THE CHARACTERS

classic

Melhor da franquia, te amo capcom beijo na bunda

MVC1 elevado a la 10ma potencia. Juegazo.

Partner fighter gameplay perfected. I love the recogniseable characters and fun mechanics might be my favourite fighting game roster of all time. Many moves very cinematic and the game is simple to learn. A great game for casual fightinggame fun with friends.

Dr. Doom Ă© o melhor personagem de todos os tempos.

Finding this cabinet as a kid was the ignition to the fiery part of my soul.

I'm actually shit at this game but I love it so much I don't care

Marvel vs Capcom 2 is a classic 2D team based Fighting game that has something for a wide range of gamers both old and new, beginner or pro.

Pros
+ Easy to pick up but hard to master type gameplay
+ A wide range of characters to select from with different skill sets
+ Wonderful pixel art graphics that have become more enjoyable over time
+ An iconic soundtrack (the character select screen music should be in a video game music hall of fame)

Cons
- As with most fighting games, there is not much of a story here
- Poor balancing (Some characters easily over power others objectively, but this can always be worked around via house rules)

Overall: Especially with the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Vs Capcom 2 has something for virtually any type of gamer. Whether you like comic books, pixel art, MCU, anime, easy to pick up games, games with depth, fighting games, or video games in general. It' should be considered for any gaming collection for any console it was released on, and is a must play for fighting game aficionados, as well as Marvel or Capcom fans.
