No More Live for MVC2

[unit003]

it's sad looking at them the way they continue to pull stunts as low as this. I swear they have both the wrong people in charge and the wrong people doing the server programming.

Even through we won't get to play this, we still get to play their other games.

What get's me is how Capcom was all over Sega.net with the DC, and yet they're affraid of Live?

They're probably using CvS2 for statistics, and with all the feedback they're getting from "pullers" and such they probably just decided against it being live. That makes the most sense to me. After all, if you think the plug pulling is bad in CvS2, you'd hate to see what it would be like in MvC2.

[unit003]

and the plug-pulling is enough to make the experiance not worth it!?? Can somebody head over to capcom and change their minds before they regret in the long run?

[Shine]

Bah, fuck Capcom. Knowing them, it'll likely be so bug ridden and poorly localised that it'll cripple the gameplay experience.

[Astral]

In like 100 matches i've had 1 puller, thats not to bad. that would be a hella lame excuse.

[AaronChance]

Uhh, they could just alter how it keeps tracks of wins / losses instead, penalizing pullers/droppers, but no, that would have them doing actual work. Can't have that.

This game was the only reason I was even considering the purchase of a Xbox Live kit. Oh well, at least I'll be saving some money.

I'm still pissed Capcom removed the online play in the USA Powerstone 2, that would have been awesome

MSP FOR LIFE!

Not everyone uses MSP!!!! But seriously, people act as if it's easy to win with MSP--we'll it isn't, unless you invest some serious time into that team and learn how to use it effectively. Rushdown anything will get stomped by a good anti air unless you know what you're doing.

Also, the reason people pick MSP is because it is so fun...I mean Mags and Storm have so many tactics and combos, if you can imagine it, you can do it with these characters...

People continually say this game is all about button mashing--button mashers do not win against good players! It never happens. On higher levels of playing you don't just mash buttons to do air combos, you finish all air combos with a super, there's issues of poisitioning, countering, push blocking, trapping, etc...the game is very technical if you want to treat it that way...

Just because you pick cable doesn't mean you automatically connect 3-4 air hyper viper beams in a row...it takes a lot of practice to learn to play competitively...and if you want to run low tier you can, you just have to work your ass off to be able to handle the tops...

And I love low tier and play it as much as possible--Jill and T. Bonne and Son Son, etc...they are all very different and fun and you can use different tactics if you choose...it's all about how you want to play the game...

Sure the game is unbalanced, everyone knows that, but who cares, it's fun...if you want balanced go play Street Fighter or CvS2...this game is all about insane combo frenzies...

I still want to try the PS2 version, just to see how it compares. The standard DC joypads really aren't well suited for fighting games; I'd be much happier playing it with the PS2 Dual Shock 2 controller. But, I'd prefer most of all to play with a high-quality arcade-style joystick.

The PS2 version is far inferior to the DC one...don't touch it...the sound effects are muffled, the graphics aren't as good, and I've read on Shoryuken.com that they took some moves out, like infinites, etc...I need to test this sometime, maybe this weekend to see if that is true...but still if you have the DC version, there's no need for any other...it is what we use in tournaments and it's arcade perfect...
