A downloadable edition or the classic fighter, Marvel VS Capcom 2 pits some of Capcom's familiar faces against a host of Marvel Comic's biggest names in explosive three-on-three team battles. The game features the biggest roster of challengers to ever square off in a Capcom fighting game, a total of 56 combined brawlers from both the Capcom and Marvel universes. Players can mix and match from both worlds in order to create their own ideal three man/woman/robot/monster team-up.
Offering both offline and online battles, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is designed to be a gateway for new players to experience the fun of fighting games while providing a deep system for hardcore fighting fans to dig into. Action is based around colorful, exaggerated attacks that include gigantic projectile attacks and high-flying aerial moves.

I recently sat down with Mark Ryan Sallee -- IGN.com's Guides overlord and overall fighting game guru -- to play a few rounds of the upcoming downloadable port of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, ostensibly in an effort to demonstrate to our readers (that's you) how the game's trio of graphical filters look during matches. However, within mere moments, I discovered that I'd be able to offer you the added bonus of a visual lesson in how not to win at MvC2. Mark, as you will see, is an old pro at this particular game. Me? I'm the guy who spends most of his time getting knocked around in midair. But all this pain I endure is for your entertainment -- enjoy. Read More »
