PSN-exclusive demo coming this week.

[Goufunaki]

I still own the DC version.

So no real need for me to buy this online version.

[The_Real_Crunk]

Hey Capcom, how about making some NEW games once in a while ya know?

[Dreamknight]

Uh.

You two are insane.

I can't wait to play this online.

[Biggie]

I find it funny how this game will have a lobby mode. But Street Fighter IV hasn't even announced one yet.

I can't wait to play this either.

[SirTMagus]

Yup. Gettin' this.

For 360 most likely.

[altoecko]

I just sold my PS2 version last week for $80, so I will probably pick this up if it's 1200 MS Points or less.

[Duel]

SPIDER MAN AND WOLVERINE BEEEEEEEEEEST TEEEEEEEEEEEAM

[Goufunaki]

My team.

Dan.

Iron Man.

Hayato.

[John Mora]

I'M WANNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIIIIIDE

[altoecko]

Cable, Akuma, and War Machine.

[American Hero]

I'm getting this!

[Dreamknight]

Cable, Akuma, and War Machine.

You wiener.

[John Mora]

I ONLY PLAY AS CABLE, STORM AND SENTINEL :V

[Toaster]

Never played it. I heard that it was terribly unbalanced, but a lot of fun.

[John Mora]

Oh hell yeah it's unbalanced.

[SirTMagus]

Yet somehow hours and hours are spent playing it anyway.

Spider-Man FTW.

[John Mora]

This one's for J.J.!

[The_Real_Crunk]

My super team was always Magneto, Sentinel, and either Tron Bonne or Ironman.

[John Mora]

I'll do Servbot and Roll. x3

[Tintenfisch]

IT'S MAHVEL BABYEE!

I had a **** load of teams

Team supreme

Jin, hayato, capt comando

Team Xmen

Wolverine (metal) sabertooth, gambit


Buff enough is tough enough

juggernaut, sentinal, servebot

and the last one I remember

Team-o dream-o

Dan, jill, servebot

[Valkysas]

demo is now on PSN.

local multiplayer only, so it's unplayable unless you have two controllers.

[Toaster]

SCOOPS

Hagen Daz

[Chuck]

They did the same thing with SF2HD. Stupid, Capcom.

[SirTMagus]

What thing?

[Valkysas]

made the demo local multiplayer only.

it is stupid and annoying.

I've heard the oratorio tangram demo on 360 is local multiplayer only too. I havent downloaded it yet, and I'll be irate if that's the case.

[Kefka Jr.]

I was at a friend's house, and we couldn't even figure out how to play local multiplayer with Oratorio Tangram. So don't worry I guess.

[Valkysas]

cable is cheap and so is anyone that uses him.

[Goufunaki]

He's fun, but cheap as all hell when you use him against the boss. Too easy with him.

Also, downloading the demo to see how it is.

[Duel]

Played it, is aight.

[Goufunaki]

The smudged looking sprites annoyed me at first, but after a while and considering how fast it plays, you end up not noticing it.

Backgrounds look great in HD.

Still not gonna buy it again, though. :happy

[John Mora]

Good, the competition will be less smelly. :3

[Goufunaki]

There ain't no damn gems or chibis this time, you'll get yer butt kicked even if I don't play. :happy

[JLaCroix]

Isn't this the one where they screwed up the controls?

[SirTMagus]

huh

[John Mora]

Isn't this the one where they screwed up the controls?

Care to elaborate?

[Valkysas]

maybe he thinks this is the PS1 version that actually had a "win button"?

[SirTMagus]

PS1 version of MvC2?!

Also, tried the demo.

It certainly is a demo.

[Valkysas]

arg. I got games confused.

YAY ME.

[Dreamknight]

I think he's referring to how there's only two punches and kicks rather than three as per the standard capcom control scheme.

[John Mora]

I think most people tend to use two rather than three anyways! It fit the DC controller, at least.

[Goufunaki]

I actually prefer just two punches and kicks. I rarely ever use medium punch/kick.

[altoecko]

Cable is cheap if you just sit and spam High Punch. Using high punch to open up an enemy to a 3 person combo, that's probably cheap too but good God is it purty.

[Chuck]

I think the smudged looking sprites are a result of one of the filters that are meant to make it look less pixelly without the trouble of HD remixing the game.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/04/mvcgraphics_01.jpg

Classic- No filtering. The sprites are shown in their full pixel glory. I love sprite work and I know a lot of you out there love it too, so we kept this in for you.

Smooth- For those in the know, this is based off of 2X Bilinear filtering but with some tweaks made for the game.

Crisp- This is based of off 3X Bilinear filtering, but it was also tweaked heavily for the game.

[John Mora]

Smudgy or pixellated? Choose your poison!

[Tintenfisch]

Yeah, Capcom should have spent over a year painstakingly remaking the sprites for
like fifty characters to appease the dozens of gamers who care enough to complain.

They had the time!

[Chuck]

Then they'd have people complaining about nearly every piece of art as it's revealed and have to redraw much of it again. And push back the game's release multiple times. Fun for all.

[Tintenfisch]

COMPUTER, COMPUTER, VIPER BEAM VIPER BEAM HYPER VIPER BEAM

[Toaster]

Yeah, Capcom should have spent over a year painstakingly remaking the sprites for
like fifty characters to appease the dozens of gamers who care enough to complain.

Yeah, and it's not like this game is refined as Street Fighter II. The game that got that treatment.

[Valkysas]

I always felt MvC2 was an entertaining cluster***k

Tis. it's also fun to just watch others play. once watched someone beat the game with three dans on it's absolute hardest difficulty mode, no continues. that was f'ing awesome.

[Jeroak Nelave]

I swear, at the end of that, it sounded like the person who was saying "Oh my god" was starting to cry, LOL!

[Dreamknight]

I just downloaded it.

Six player lobby, every character, I'll let you know how the network is soon.

[John Mora]

I got it on Xbox tooooooooooooooooooooooo~

[Duel]

Playing All Sentinels on both sides seems to be one hell of a confusing mess.

[Translucid]

got to play around with it this morning.

maaaaaaan, I suck, but playing with a 360 controller also sucks.

[Dreamknight]

If you go online I hope you know how to play against magneto and sentinel.

I don't.

[Translucid]

OH HE GOT DA MANGO SENTINEL

[John Mora]

I don't even know how to play AS them.

[Vonwert]

I currently suck so far. I need to practice instead of just button mashing my way through. Granted playing on the Xbox controller does suck.

[Chuck]

I wish there was like an XBLA-box. A cheap little miniconsole just for downloading XBLA games. Or if they'd just make them all available on PC.

[Goufunaki]

360 D-pad isnt great for fighters, plus double tapping with the analog is just a pain no matter what the game is.

Other than online play and everyone unlocked already, did they add anything else?

How's the lag?

[Dreamknight]

Playing online now if anyone wants in.

Never had a lag problem yet.

[John Mora]

I suuuuuuuck :c

[Kire]

these achievements are crazy, yo!

[Translucid]

All of the "multiplayer" achievements are easy enough, if you don't mind setting them up yourself.

But 100 ranked matches? **** that

[Goufunaki]

But 100 ranked matches? **** that

Wuss!

:happy

[Garr123]

100 ranked matches would take, at most, two to four hours spread out over the course of... however many days/weeks.

also god damnit add me on XBLA, Dreamknight said he did. BUT HE LIED

How's the lag?

Lag usually isn't bad, and the D-pad on the 360 controller isn't ideal, but I've gotten used to it and it's not as terrible as I once thought. To be honest, the biggest problem for me was accidentally triggering shortcuts in SF4, which were added to make using a controller easier. Irony.

[Garr123]

MORA ADD ME YOU COWARD.

i use jill~

[Tintenfisch]

getting it sunday.

[Dreamknight]

So my team of Sonson/Sakura/Flyclops has been doing okay, won about 7 ranked matches so far but I'm destroyed against the ****ing cable/sentinel combo. Unfortunately my three guys don't have too much synergy between their assists.

[Nixon]

I sold my copy of this game back in the day, because I couldn't stand idiots using cable/sentinel/iron man and all the "I SHOOT LAZERS ACROSS THE ENTIRE SCREEN BY HITTING ONE BUTTON" fighters. The original MvC is much more balanced. Is it already up on live?

[Goufunaki]

Up on XBLA, but I havent seen it on PSN yet.

[Chuck]

Is anybody who enjoys this game and has a Wii looking forward to Tatsunoko v Capcom?

[Goufunaki]

I am.

[Dreamknight]

I think Nix was asking if MVC1 is available. No it isn't I'm afraid.

EDIT- yeah and anyone who plays as iron man is a little *****.

[Goufunaki]

What's wrong with iron man? :p

[Dreamknight]

Let me guess Sentinel and Magneto too?

Oh no, wait. Storm and Cable.

[Goufunaki]

Um....what?

That didn't answer the question.

[John Mora]

I get what DK was saying. You'd probably play Pokemon with only legendaries, too~

[Goufunaki]

I asked a legitimate question, and you guys are acting like asses all of a sudden.

Why?

[Dreamknight]

:lol Don't take it so seriously. I had lost a match to a few iron mans online doing infinite combos and you're the competitive fighter of the pavilion so I was joking that you must use cheapo characters if you like Iron Man so much.

Not that there's anything wrong with that

[Goufunaki]

You're talking to a guy who's favorite character is Dan Hibiki.

And almost anyone can be cheap in this game, that's why I asked about Iron Man. I didn't know what it was about him in particular.

[Garr123]

hey gou, whats your XBLA tag so I can OCV you with Jill or Guile.

8-) Iron man ain't got nothing on me~

[Goufunaki]

Gamertag: Goufunaki


I'm actually not very interested in getting the game. I already did everything on the Dreamcast version, and with the XBLA version having everyone unlocked already (extra colors too, I assume), there's probably not much to keep me busy for long.

Plus I still have Blazblue, and KoF12 (whenever SNK fixes their online) to go through and unlock things.

[Tintenfisch]

Well I just got it today

I say we celebrate by having a pavilion MvC2 night tonight at 8 o clock, or 6 hours from now.

who's in?

[John Mora]

...

What time zone is that?

[Tintenfisch]

east coast, but I said the 6 hours for now so everybody can get the right time. Well it's more like 5 hours from now, now.

[Garr123]

Anyone who's on the fence about this due to the infinites and irritating Magneto/Storm/Sentinal teams should just buy it considering I win most of my matches using garbage characters like Jill/Guile/Colossus/Tron Bonne and also I'm not very good at MvC.

Most people can't do the infinites, or use the god tier teams competently. Those who can are few and far between.

Edit: Dreamknight's runaway Sakura is irritating *shakes fist*. Just let me combo you, damnit.

[Dallas Alvis]

SERIOUSLY... What the ****.

Don't listen to this gutter liar.

[Tintenfisch]

If you keep getting hit by sentinals laser, you're bad at fighting games.

[Garr123]

Don't listen to this gutter liar.

Why so much hate :-(

[John Mora]

"I'm not very good at MvC" indeed!

[Garr123]

I mess up my combos constantly and don't do a lot of things good players do, like protecting my assists or chaining hyper combos.

I suppose it's all relative, though.

:-(

[Dallas Alvis]

I'm not good at playing fighting games when I don't have a ****ing clue what's going on half the time.
