Marvel vs Capcom 3

With the same amount of effort as that combo took I could set up the Iron Man infinite, or the Ken infinite, Sentinel or Juggernaut 100% combos, or just run the hell away with Storm and throw out hailstorms to chip you to death.

The cast of 3 is no more the same than any other fighter. Just because they simplified the launcher doesn't mean that everyone is now the same. Try playing MODOK like you'd play Hulk, or Deadpool like you'd play Viper.

MODOK being the exception, you can play Viper, Hulk and Deadpool all the same. Ground series, launcher, air series, OTG, launcher, air series, etc etc.

All of the 2 infinites were 3-4 basic attacks stringed. All of these combos are 2 or 3 of the character super stringed together (in the case of Spiderman, just one) and most importantly, combos like this were Capcom's intention, not an unintended side effect of the engine. :P

The only exception may be marvel vs. street fighter, wherein only Wolverine had bullshit (easy ass infinite) and everyone else sucked.

Eh? I thought that was Cyclops. (Maybe Chun-Li?)

mvsf has pretty good variety for a vs game imo, infinite or not

I honestly don't remember the last time I ever did a ground series with Hulk. He's too damn slow to use like Phoenix or Deadpool or Wolverine. I mean really, by that reasoning you could say everyone in Marvel 2 played the same: magic series, launcher, air attacks, maybe finish with a super. But it's an oversimplification in both cases.

People made the same complaints about Tatsunoko, and as someone who actually played that game I wondered if they had ever actually tried to learn how to play it.

I tried to play both and couldn't stand either. The TvC influence in 3 did not help it at all. It's just too homogenized.

The game sucks, especially if you consider it as a sequel to 2.

Considering 2 was my least favorite of the entire marvel vs. series, I don't think it's surprising I disagree with that assessment of 3 :P

But man, the Tatsunoko games are easily some of my favorite fighters Capcom has put out in years. The amount of time my friends and I sank into both of them is mind boggling.
