Marvel vs Capcom 2 question

[aaronpetrosky]

Which version is better? the Ps2 one or Dreamcast?

[Rev. Link]

I detest the PS2 controller for fighting games, so I'd say DC by default.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

I'd say PS2. If you dont like the controller, get a nice fighting stick.

[Perkar]

i'm not sure if this is accurate, as i've haven't tried either the ps2 or the xb versions, but i understand they both suffer from a little bit of random slowdown that the dc version does not.

what i do know is that capcom fighters on the dreamcast = A+, so i'd go with the dreamcast version any day of the week. plus it's way cheaper.

[aaronpetrosky]

Great points.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it.

I'll just get the dreamcast version. Only thing is there's literally 4 copies of the Ps2 version at my ebgames. :eek 2:

[Mr.FoodMonster]

If they are in presentable condition, take all of them and put 'em on ebay. They get a crazy price, sometimes around $100.

(I got mine new for $40 the week it came out)

xbox

[PapaStu]

If I remember correctly (though i'm not the figting afficianado) the DC version was the most Acrade True version, so if your going for originality money should go there.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

I think the Dreamcast version's perfectly fine if you're able to track one down, but..

That's exactly what I was thinking. You should just grab a copy or two (keep a couple there for somebody else who may want one) to sell off for more games. Trust me, it'll work. After all, I sold a sealed copy of the Xbox version around this time last year and made close to hundred bucks doing so.

Yeah, that's what I heard too. Guess it's because the DC is based of the same hardware the arcade version runs on. That and the fact that the PS2 has sound & animation issues.

Other than Street Fighter 3, right? :(

And while the PS2 controller sucks for fighting games, I don't understand how anyone could even think of playing a fighting game with the dreamcast controller. Terrible dpad that makes the PS2's little 4 button layout feel comfortable and responsive :(

That said, i'd probably take either the Dreamcast (since it's a Naomi-based game) version over the PS2 version IF IF IF IF IF IF you have an arcade stick. Failing that, go Xbox.

Oh damn you, now I'm going to have to hit up the local game stores tomorrow during lunch and see if I can mine any gold. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME? :(

[aaronpetrosky]

I don't have any to sell :( I don't even have my xbox anymore.


I was trying to decide for which system to buy it for. I'll def get it for Dreamcast.

I know they all commando a high price

[aaronpetrosky]

lol sorry roush

Yea I seen one there about 6 months ago but didn't pay any attention and as time went by I started to see more and more and the thing is, they are all complete and in excellent shape! They are selling for $54 which compared to some goin on ebay now is really cheap.

[ShinobiMan]

I say go with the Dreamcast version. THe DC always had a sharper output, while the PS2's visuals were a little mudy for my tastes. And the controller for the DC was made for fighters.

Heh, I got mine for 40 the week it came out as well! I love the game.

[Damaramu]

Wasn't there an issue with the resolution of the game? I remember hearing the PS2 version had slightly squished character sprites.

Hmmm....DC is the way to go with that game. It really is about arcade perfect.

I've got this great little device that plugs into my DC controller port. It has a port for a Saturn controller, PS1/2 controller, and a PC keyboard (perfect for Typing of The Dead). Oh, on top of all that, it actually has a slot for a VMU.

Picked it up at a local area EB back around '99-'00 for about $25-$30. Great investment! Ah, here's a pic:

[aaronpetrosky]

Very cool. I might have to look into that. If I can find it....

[Bleetness]

DC is the most arcade accurate. Plus alot of bugs/infinites were fixed in the ports to xbox/ps2.

Oh I have that thing, I couldn't figgure out who made it becouse someone took the sticer off. Mystery solved.

[norkusa]

Does anyone know where I can buy one of those DC controller adapters? Or better yet, one that lets you use an Xbox controller on the DC? I can't find any places online that sell them and they are never on Ebay.

[djbeatmongrel]

am i the only one that like the ps2 controller for 2d fighters? its awesome for the guilty gear series atleast

[evil_genius]

ive played them both thoroughly and theyre basicaly the same to me.

[evil_genius]

if u decide to get the ps2 version, go to your local eb or gamestop and get the stret fighter anniversary controller for 10 bucks, its worth every penny, then remove the select button, you'll thank me later.

Correct, in fact, the DC version IS the arcade game. The original was running on Naomi, IIRC.

Wow, that would be great, Saturn controller to DC would be really good as long as L and R are mapped to C and Z.

Here's a pic of a similar adaptor I found at Lik-Sang, unfortunately they don't have any there any more:

You might want to get one of those so you can sell it on Ebay.

[aaronpetrosky]

Yea I thought about doing that. Seeing how much profit I can make and then do it again if I make a good one.

[tornadostormxl]

get the dreamcast one the ps2 one has a blue disc so some ps2's dont run it.

[Rabid Peanut-Butter]

Also, from comparing the PS2 and DC ones side by side, it looks like some textures for backgrounds were compressed and you can see a difference in detail (most noticable in the backgroun at the high score screen right after a game over).
