General: Capcom's
third installment to the VS series pits some of Capcom's most classic characters
into the ring against some of Marvel's most popular heroes and villians.
The Capcom character selection has shrunk a bit, but isn't only made up
of Street Fighter characters this time around, as "heroes" from classic
games also make their fighting game debuts, including: Megaman and Captain
Commando. Unlike Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter, this feels like
a completely new game; with all new backgrounds, BGMs, and gameplay!
.
The popular
tag-team gameplay is back, and brings along a few new features to boot;
such as the Duo Team Attack, where both of your fighters can come into
the battle at once, launching "unlimited" supers for a limited time period...
It can get quite crazy at times, but it's also really fun. Certain character
combinations can chip (block damage) you to death, possibly the only downside
of this cool new feature.
.
Each team
also receives 1 "assist" character selected before the match, which can
help you achieve victory by linking them together with your super moves.
The assist characters are an obscure bunch of classic characters that range
from Darkstalker's Anita and Arthur from Ghosts & Goblins, to Thor
and Jubilee on the Marvel side... The extra characters add some awe value
to the game, and make for an even broader view of the Capcom and Marvel
universes colliding.

Closing Comment: At the time of it's debut, Marvel VS Capcom was THE ultimate cross over game... Although it would have been cool if a few more characters were playable. The presentation definitely succeeds Marvel VS Capcom 2 in many ways. Who can forget the musical themes for each character, brilliant backgrounds, and superb animations. This game is also much more balanced than MvC2. Pretty much every character can hold their own! ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
