who's gonna be picking up marvel vs capcom 2?

this rules

Agreed. Forgot how much fun this was.
Mental.

Oh and there's an xbox achievement called 'I Am Doom.' Seems pretty simple - just beat an oppenent within 15 seconds in ranked.

So SDoom, all you have to do is, sell the PS3, buy an xbox, give up job 'till you can beat someone within 15secs.
It's your destiny.

I heard the backgrounds are 3D in this? Are they 3D in the arcade version? I'd much prefer 2D backdrops.

Originally on dremcast and arcade the backgrounds were in 2d.
They've rendered all the backgrounds in 3D & HD. They don't interrupt one bit, so much so that I didn't even notice they were in 3d until I was a spectator on a player match.

I'm not joking, when you're playing you won't notice the backgrounds.

Oh and even if you do notice, you have the option to turn them back to 2d rendering as they were in the original.

Now but it and stop making excuses.:p

Yep.

I don't have a clue what A-Trak's talking about, myself.

What are you agreeing to out of curiosity?

Originally the backgrounds were only in 2D.
Now they're in 3D, but you can turn them back to the original should you wish.

Better?

The following video is of the Dreamcast version of the game, which is graphically exactly the same as the arcade version. It's quite obvious that the background is 3D.

Didn't know it was a Naomi game, explains the 3D backgrounds.

Anyway:

It's MAHVEL Baby!

i read that they finally have an option to turn off the music,
so i bought it and low and behold i'm still being taken for a ride.....
i think it mutes the stage music though, but its the menu music i wanted gone! what a shame

Jim · 30-07-2009 03:00PM

Didn't know this was out already.

*buys*

Retr0gamer · 30-07-2009 03:16PM

I think you actually have to download an update from the capcom website onto a disc and upload it to the xbox to get the custom soundtracks. Pretty silly.

you can always just stream mp3s through your xbox over your network/plug an ipod into the USB port to have custom soundtracks as on any game...that said I love the menu music though!

edit: and yeah afaik the backgrounds were always weird 3D, but as stated you absolutely do not notice the backgrounds while playing at all

Retr0gamer · 30-07-2009 05:40PM

I've had the ****ing menu music in my head all day, it's driving me insane.

thats true but my mp3 player takes about 25/30 minutes ta even start playing on my xbox!

and i dont have myself any of dem der fancy connect it to your xbox edition windows either

Dreddybajs · 30-07-2009 05:58PM

All you need to do is download WMP 11 - you don't need XP Media Centre edition or whatever.

DL WMP11, add stuff to your media library, share it, and then your xbox will be able to see those folders on the Video Library/Music Library pages!

http://twitter.com/MarvelvsCapcom - To anyone who's on the fence about picking this up, this twitter page is occasionally releasing free XBLA codes for the game!

A-Trak · 31-07-2009 11:48AM

Bloody hell this game makes me feel like a confused old man with thumbs for fingers. Had it on the dreamcast and had recollections of being ok at it.

How wrong I was. I fought a match last night and honestly I may well have left the stick down and made a cup of tea in a different room for all the good it did. Probably would have had a few combos more as well.

Its bloody great fun though, mental mental game. Really shows how slow SFIV is, and turtley too.

D4RK ONION · 01-08-2009 06:59PM

I genuinely can't get my head around some of the things you're expected to do, especially the launch moves that let you follow people into the air. 200 move combo? Clearly this game is far and above my non-1337 head

Dreddybajs · 01-08-2009 07:13PM

The 200 combo stuff generally mainly consists of supers - eg you could get a 100 hit combo by choosing a team of 3 Cables and just doing 3x his beam super.

edit: After a launcher you're generally afaik just going to be doing a magic series combo into a special/super if you can.

Simple combos are actually really easy in this game if you stick to the magic series!

Kirby · 04-08-2009 12:14AM

after trying it out at XGC, i decided to buy it off live. Its great fun and i can see the appeal even if I try to avoid the experienced players because there is no point in trying to play them.

I really like Iron man and he seems to be my best character. My team is usually Iron man, Cable and either Cyclops or Dhalsim. Still getting to grips with it, and knowing how to get out of the corner is important as you can just get combo'd to death.

How many of u guys picked it up?

Sagat06 · 04-08-2009 09:45AM

I picked it up. I havent put much time in with it yet but it seems like a bit of fun!

Bought it on the day, mainly because I have nothing better to do with my cash. It's an enjoyable break from SF4, I like the sense on ridiculousness is has. I've settled on a team of Akuma, Venom and War Machine/Ryu for now.

who's gonna be picking up marvel vs capcom 2?
