Quantcast



If you haven't played Marvel vs. Capcom 2 before, where the hell have you been for the last decade? Of course, it might just be that you aren't skilled with some of the heavy hitters in the game, which might be why Capcom chose to release this matching set of videos featuring Zangief and Hulk. Or perhaps they're desperate to deliver some new promotional content for a game which came out nine years ago. Hard to say, really.

After the jump, check out an ALL NEW TRAILER with an EPIC BATTLE between Zangief and the Hulk. Then, treat yourself to a pair of strategy videos describing the advantages and disadvantages of each of the massive fighters. If you listen carefully, you may even hear how tired of the game the narrator is.

These videos always remind me of how woefully inadequate my MvC2 skills are. I really hope there is some kind of launching/combo tutorial in the game, because I was never able to get the hang of that aspect.

Any news on a release date, aside from the rumored July 22nd or July 29th?

Hmmm, thanks. I guess BF1943 should keep me entertained until then.

The sound on those videos, especially the narration, is so low I had to turn my speakers up to 11.

ROM Infinite or they're useless.

But Gief is pretty good in every Marvel game. He's got some stupid tricks for big damage.

Here's the real guide on how to play Marvel Vs. Capcom 2:

1) Pick Sentinel
2) Pick Storm
3) Pick Magneto
4) Go to GameFAQs and learn the infinites

I look forward to playing friendly matches with the Dtoid crew without "the big 5" only. I had enough years of frustration and being forced to pick the big ones to compete in tourneys.

I was hoping they'd make a bear joke with the Circus setting in the comic

I bet there's a ton of slash fiction with this pairing

@Magnalon

I hear that.

It'll be great to play against friends... but ranked will be the worst game ever, if you think Ken Fighter 4 is bad, wait till this game comes out.

But, that being said, I can't wait to beat on you all with Team Bubble Gum, and hit you with the Giant Ball of Stupid.

I was just going to pick Cable, Cyclops, and Iron Man, spam lasers, and pray.

That was possibly the most boring set of tutorial videos they could have put out for this game.

Boring and quiet tutorial vids or not, I can't wait for this game to drop.

The narrator gets paid to instruct not entertain apparently.
