My buddy Evan at my work recently bought a PS3 and will be using it for JRPG’s and fighting games. After some convincing on his part, I decided to purchase Marvel Vs Capcom 2 to play against him. Wow! This game is FAST! I forgot how fast the gameplay is in this game since the Arcade days. No matter who I use, I get owned by Evan. Trying to learn the combos or even do the regular moves is sometimes troubling for me. I think I am use to using an Arcade Stick that using a D-Pad for a game that requires you to input commands fast and accurate is my undoing.
Still, I have fun trying my hardest to beat Evan. If I play defense with Sentinel I can almost slip in a victory but I get too cocky and try to attack, thus getting stuck in some crazy combo Evan pulls off. Maybe someday I will actually get the combos down enough to give Evan a challenge. Let’s hope Marvel Vs Capcom 3 will make it a little more n00b friendly for people like me.
