I thoroughly enjoy the MvC series. I like the gameplay, number of characters and also the large amount of unlockables. What are your opinions of this series? Do you like it or not?

I enjoy 1, but it was broken to hell. Red Venom, double War Machine, and Wolverine kinda made the game stupid. It had cool character themes though.
2 is the most popular fighting game in the US since it came out, and it is fun. It's probably more broken then 1, but due to it's format with the assists and whatnot, there's more characters that can be used. I like playing it now and then, but that's about it.

MVC 1: Loved Venom, didn't care for the style of the art though. I also never liked the "guest character" idea.. it's just so cheap, and only a press of the button. I'm glad that they scrapped it.
MVC 2: Much better, but even more of a masher with all the combos. It is alot of fun though, and I can't really complain about having 56 characters at my disposal. I don't prefer the 3-d backgrounds to the 2-d ones though.
Cable, Iron Man, Doom.
What a team. There are tons of other great combos out there. MvC2 is a great game. What is the highest combo anyone has done before? I have done a 137 once with Cable, Iron Man, and Gambit
There are many infinites
I love both the MvC games, however 2 is the superior title by far.
Admittedly though, after 1, 2 took a bit of getting used to for me.
I'm not a fan of the series. Just too over the top and silly at times. I was really surprised at its popularity.

The best 2D and 2.5D video games.
I played a lot of MVC2 on the Dreamcast (enough to unlock all the characters and backgrounds... but not all the colors), and it was okay, but certainly not the best vs fighter out there. There's just far too much chaos going on, it's hard to stick to a specific strategy with all these other characters jumping in and super moves going off every 5 seconds. I also never liked super jumping and air combos.
I really like being able to fight as Marvel characters though, and that was probably my major draw to the game.

I will always prefer the more methodical paced, yet flashy Street Fighter Alpha series. It had thought invoking play mechanics with just enough flash in the pan to deliver that final godly impact.
The VS. series is "imo" too over the top, and the original Street Fighter didn't have quite enough "flash". So I fall squarely in the middle of this genre, and prefer a mixture of both. I fall a little more on the original Street Fighter side though.
I have a thing for mass, unknown, what-the-fuck-is-going-on chaos in my games.
So I love it.
And don't bring up that stupid girlie Aladdin rip off! Shantea?
MvC2 is far from a masher, make no mistake. The game involves alot of strategy and split second decision-making, as well as knowing basically what you can do against all the major characters like Cable, Storm, or Sentinel, with whatever assists they got. It's easy to get people to play though due to the fact it's pretty easy to pick up, but to get into the game, there's alot of stuff to learn and keep track of.Originally Posted by Captain Wrong
I still hate it though :P

Best fighting games ever. Period
MvsC1 was no more than an update for MSHvsSF which was an update for XMenvsSF. I wasn't crazy about it.
MvsC2 I play every day, without fail. I'm not joking. Home or arcade. It's such a fucking mess, that I love it.

If you button mashed against Justin Wong he'd probably perfect you :P

MvC1 was something I played all the time when I first got my Dreamcast. Back in those days, I was shocked to find that Mega Man was one of the characters, me being a great MM fan and all. Nowadays, I often use the team of Gambit and Ryu. Damn, Onslaught is a biatch to kill.
MvC2, however, is one of my favorite fighters of all time, despite some cheapness and unbalancedness here and there. Cable, Strider, and Gambit, my MAIN MEN. Or how about the team of Akuma, Juggernaut, and DAN HIBIKI?!? Yeah... I love this game. Still don't know how to play as Abyss, if that's even possible, which I somehow doubt. Ah well. Some other of my favorites: Magneto, Bison, and Thanos: Ultimate Evils Team. Guile, Captain America, and Charlie: America's Sons Team. Omega Red, Zangief, and Colossus: Dirty Ruskies Team (no offense). Cammy, Rogue, and Felicia: Charlie's Angels Team (I swear, when I finished my opponent off with a Triple Team Super Combo, they made THE perfect CA style team pose! I should have taken a picture of it... and get your brain out of the friggin' gutter). The possibilities are endless...
That's it! Next stop: The Junkyard. Population: You!

So you must have liked Heavy Metal Geomatrix (DC) also huh? I love that game!Originally Posted by Famidrive-16

DC--- It's STILL thinking....!!

Good luck mashing playing anyone half way decent. They'll get you in an infinite before you can say Chicken crap.
This is probably my nerdiest quality. Like portnoyd I play this game EVERYDAY. I only miss a day or so because of homework or vacation. Even on vacation I try to spy out an arcade.
The God tiers on this game (Magneto, Storm, Cable, Sentinel) are a little cheap but they all cancel each other. Well unless its a Sent with Capcom assist which IMO is freaking cheap.
BTW Spoon- My highest combo is 999. No lie. Try the gambit glitch out.
Have Gambit/Sentinel/whoever for player 1 and Servbot (A assist)/ditto/ditto for player 2. Do servbots triple super crap. When he begins have gambit call out sentinel. Then do Gambits royal flush super. If timed right gambits super will catch 2 servbots and will never end. Thus going to 999. Simple ain't it. :P
Also- What are everyones teams for Mvc2? My main team is Magz/Sent/Capcom or Storm/Sent/Capcom. But I can play many different teams.
MvC1- Eh. Upgraded of the others. Nothing special. Wolverine had some cool infinites but everything else was blah. Chun-Li was cool though.
No offence to the MvC fans here, but it sort of ticks me off that this game gets so much tourney press yet absolutly no one wants to put in a SNK game in any of the major tournaments. both Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 and King of Fighters 2002 are highly balanced and competitive but never seem to make it into Evolution or the MWC because it's the defining notion that SNK 'can't make a good fighter'.
Yet MvC2 is broken as hell (admittedly so) and is not only in Evolution, but it's practically the featured game!
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGH [/rant]
That being said, the game is fun to mess around with, it's just not something I care to practice when I know about all the flaws. I'd rather get more time into Capcom v. SNK 2 (mmmmm, King) or the latest KoF.
