IMO this is the most enjoyable fighting game I've ever played, and it improves upon MvC2 in every possible way (which I played the hell out of back in the Dreamcast days). The creators put so much polish on this game, too -- the visuals are absolutely insane. I love the new aerial rave combos that you can pull off.

My go-to team so far has been Dante, Zero, and Amaterasu, with Spider-Man sometimes replacing Dante, and as was the case with MvC2, I freakin hate Storm, Magneto, and worst of all, Sentinel

Anyone else having their soul/free time sucked away by this game? It's making it harder for me to play GT5 anymore.

 

I wanna get this game, but playing this with the arcade fight stick is almost a must.

 

That sounds promising. I'm gonna have to try it out

No it's not

 

Yeah, it certainly helps. I have the cheap-o Mad Katz SFIV one (linky) and it works well enough, though I'd rather be using the Tournament Edition one. The buttons on mine are a bit mushy.

They changed the button mapping for this game, though -- there's a light, medium, and strong attack, and a launch. No punch vs. kick mapping. It's actually kind of nice, and feels very natural when you get used to it.

 

Playing this kind of game on a ps3 remote is not the same. I prefer playing with a fight stick.

 

that sounds weird

 

Should I pick one up?

 

The game or the arcade stick?

 

didnt quite like it for its missing a out of my favorite characters like sakura, juggernut, megaman etc. luckily they have deadpool which is really awesome and of course, dante who has an amazing repertoire of weapons and ultimate moves.

none the less dissatisfied with only a HANDFUL of characters to play with. i was hoping for more

 

It's actually pretty nice once you get used to it.

Yeah, it sucks that Sakura and Megaman aren't in it, though after getting used to Zero, he's a much better MM alt Dante is badass as always. At least this game is even remotely balanced character-wise, compared to MvC2. I was hoping for bigger roster too, but I'm glad their priorities fell towards gameplay instead.
