CROSS-OVERS AND VITALITY GAUGES
In each match, all combatants each start with a full Vitality Gauge worth 144 points. These gauges all begin as yellow life bars, marked for each fighter. As the fight ensues and the fighters in the arena take damage, these yellow bars diminish, eventually replaced by red bars in the end. Now these red bars are 'temporary damage' and can be recovered once the character tags out of the arena. The end of the red bar indicates the maximum amount of life that can be recovered, but it's not possible to regain all lost life due to such red gauges. Take note that as a character regains his blinking red bar out of the arena but tags back into battle, any remaining red bar is removed and the last point of recovered yellow bar marks his current max life. Tag between characters wisely but avoid losing your characters prematurely!
The Vitality and Recovery Gauges
WHAT IS THE HYPER COMBO ENERGY?
Each of the heroes from the Marvel and Capcom universes, have unique special abilities they can use in battle that allow them to build up certain fighting energies over time. These energies then allow the fighter to use special tactics and techniques. The amount of Hyper Combo Energy currently available is shown in the Hyper Combo Gauge on the lower corners of the screen. The amount of energy you have depends largely on how many attacks are performed and the type of moves used. This gauge is shared amongst the 2 partners of a single team.
The Hyper Combo Gauge
HYPER COMBOS AND CROSS-OVER COUNTERS
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 Ps2
As you amass energy blocks, the number beside the gauge increases by one. The gauge can stock up to 5 blocks, and once you have at least one energy block stored, you can execute a Hyper Combo or a Cross-Over Counter. These moves cost one block of Hyper Combo Energy. Some characters have Hyper Combos that cost all 3 blocks, so make the best use of it!
CROSS-OVER COMBINATIONS
When your team has amassed at least 2 energy blocks, you can now execute a powerful dual assault called Cross-Over Combination. Use this to devastate your opponent at the point he's most vulnerable for massive damage! Some pair-ups may not work as well as others, so experiment and discover! Try to use 2 ranged Hyper Combo users or 2 melee Hyper Combo users for a good start.
DELAYED HYPER COMBO ATTACK
The penultimate devastator! This move costs up to 3 Hyper Combo block for each character performing a super move. Summon forth your partner for an all-out assault! Your partner jumps in and follows up your character's Hyper Combo, mashing your opponent for heavier damage. Be sure to select characters with very similar Hyper Combo types for the most effective onslaught!
SNAP BACK ATTACK
If you you have at least one energy block stored, you can perform a Snap Back attack, expending the stored block in the process. Your character flashes momentarily and attacks the opponent, sending him flying out of the screen and forcing the player to switch characters. The best part for this is banished characters cannot be summoned for partner assists or other cross-over moves, nor he will be able to recover the red gauge as long as a big red X flashes over his life gauge. You can strategically put your opponent's members out of commission while you pick on them one by one, further limiting his switching abilities!
| At Lv1, sneak-attack with Cross-Over Counters! | At Lv1, use powerful Hyper Combos! |
| With Lv2 and up, use Cross-Over Combinations and Delayed HC Attacks effectively! |
NOTE : Cross-Over moves and Delayed Hyper Combo Attacks also count as tagging between characters during battle.
BATTLE TIPS AND STRATEGIES
CHAIN COMBOS
After throwing your opponent or launching him high into the air, don't miss the chance to follow it up with a second attack while your opponent is still in the air or on the ground. Each character has his own combo launcher and combo finishers, but it a ground a smasher attack or a powerful Hyper Combo. These attack-linkings are essential for massive combos and is a key for victory! For starters, try a combo by launching the opponent, pursue him into the air with a Super Jump, and begin the havoc with a sequence from the weakest to the strongest buttons.
ADVANCING GUARD, REVERSALS AND CROSS-OVER COUNTERS
When you guard against an opponent's attack, cancel your guard by unleashing your own special attack. You can push away your opponent using the Advancing Guard to create an open space to counter-attack or swiftly tag your partner to attack the unsuspecting opponent with a Cross-Over Counter. You can even attack back after being struck down by the opponent! Once you go into a standing hitstun, perform a Reversal by entering a special attack command at the moment after being struck by the command. Reversals can also be done while lying on the ground by doing a special attack command before getting up. These timings are hard to master at first, but will tremendously improve your gameplay once you pull them consistently.

Three to Tango
MvC2 differs from most fighters in that the only way to play is 3 vs. 3. While this may be irritating to those longing for some 1-on-1 action (ooh err), it does present an element of strategy that gives the game a lot of depth. For example, I play with a regular team of Cable, Ryu (remember him?) and Spiderman. I know their strengths, weaknesses, and when to use them. Cable can dish out very fast long-range attacks, and some superb anti-air moves. Ryu can do the same, but with the finesse only a Street Fighter character can offer. Spiderman is able to trap his foes in a web, leaving them open for damage. With a combination of buttons one can switch between them if things get hairy, making sure they can fight another day, as characters regenerate a small amount of health when they 'tag out'. And making sure they're healthy is very important, as your teammates can offer assistance during fighting. By using the control options, you can configure the buttons to bring either of your mates, or both, into the fold to offer an extra spark without actually switching to them. Rogue can be summoned to pummel your enemies while you execute a special move, for example, or Amingos can be thrown into the ring to heal your wounded warrior. Even more useful is a triple team attack, where all of your combatants launch themselves into a flurry of rage and rack up some incredible hits. These moves can only be executed after building up your Combo Bar through normal play, as each hit moves it up a notch. And of course, combos make it go even faster. Once you've started smashing the buttons there's really no stopping you; combos are a huge part of the gameplay. Without using the special character linkups, blizzards of damage well into the double figures can be done with relative ease, and the scope for creativity and versatility in these is where MvC2 really shines. You can spend hours in the training mode building up your skills, perfecting that special combo that's been your sole purpose in life since you started, and put it into practice against the CPU, or better yet, against a friend.
Know thine enemy
There are only a few basic play modes available, Arcade, High Score Challenge, Versus and Training. Arcade allows you to battle through seven stages before meeting the final boss, becoming more and more challenging along the way. The difficulty for the Arcade mode can be chosen before starting, so you can either face a gaggle of limp-wristed pansies, or a squad of sublime superheroes. This mode offers little by way of innovation; it's the standard formula seen in arcades the world over since the 1980s, a little disappointing. High Score Challenge is slightly more interesting. Disregarding the options altogether, you're thrown into another set of fights, but this time the emphasis is not only on winning, it is on winning with style. Each combo, each special move, and each team attack you pull off adds to your score, and this is the mode that has the real pull factor for the game. You can load it up, fight your way through, and be elated to see this session's tally outscoring the last by a few thousand. But, if you're yearning for something a bit more tangible to test your wits against, a second controller is a must, as the Versus mode is king. If you can shell out the 20 quid for a second controller without the risk of starving (even with the risk), do so now, and buy MvC2. It's a gem in two-player. The action is the same as above, but with your friend or foe beside you, the combos and moves you execute become all the more satisfying. What's more, it's possible to carry out trades with your opponent, provided you both have a VMU. 'But what could you possibly trade in a fighting game?', I hear you squeal. Quite a lot actually, if the fighting game is MvC2. Each time you successfully win a fight, or try something new in the Training mode, you earn career points which are saved onto your memory card. These points can be exchanged for a whole cavalcade of goodness in the Secret Factor menu. New characters, colour schemes, and even backgrounds for the fights can be chosen to spend your hard-earned points on, and when you've exhausted all of them, there's a couple of surprises in store. As you've probably worked out, the characters can be traded via the VMU, like Pokemon. (Although don't compare Guile to a Pokemon, at least not to his face).

Comic Book Art
Each character is lovingly created with enough frames of animation to make your head spin, but with the amount of fists, feet and projectiles hurtling around the screen at once, coupled with the glows from the special moves, things can become a bit cluttered. However, I guarantee the first time you play you'll be unable to focus on these as you'll be too busy gawking, wide-eyed, at the beautiful backgrounds. Settings vary from a pirate ship, to a clock tower, to an insane circus (familiar to any comic book fans), but all are united in their grand and polished appearance. Hands wave, bells ring, clouds fly, while the carnage unfolds in front. Some of my fights have been almost poetic: the last stand of the solitary contestants, biding their time as the clock ticks behind them, ready to unlock a special attack when the time is right. Great stuff. However, in a trend seemingly unavoidable these days, the music is something of a letdown. Irritating tunes with undecipherable messages may have been acceptable in the early 90s, but come on folks, this is the 21st century. Perhaps it's retro chic or whatever, I'm powerless to say, but I like my fightin' music thumpin', and my sound effects gory, not annoying and pallid. It's been a while since I heard startlingly excellent music in a game, especially from Capcom who seem to have had the same music staff since the middle ages, but hopefully their next release will buck the trend.
Conclusion
MvC2 is a great title. The combination of two different character sets and worlds is an inspired choice, the magic of Marvel with the ingenuity of Capcom is a blend of the highest quality. Like a good whiskey, a lot of the ideas behind it have aged well, and like a good cocktail, the new additions are fresh, exciting, and have a zing that the final product couldn't do without. Like fighting? Buy it. Got a second controller? Buy it. Like lame Japanese game music? Buy it.
