Watch Mega Man and Iron Man duke it out in Marvel vs. Capcom 2

by Richard Mitchell { Jul 21st 2009 at 2:20AM }

Capcom has released a batch of new media from the upcoming downloadable release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and this time it has a theme! That theme is apparently the battle of the "Mans," specifically Mans of the Iron and Mega variety. In addition to dropping tons of new screens and the montage video above, Capcom has released two strategy videos, one each for Mega Man and Iron Man.

Granted, it's old hat for anyone that's played the game before, but, for those unfamiliar with the game, the videos offer a good idea of what's possible with different characters (particularly the Iron Man video). Check out the strategy videos after the break.

Is this game "hd-ized" like ssf2thdr?

Rodrigo @ Jul 21st 2009 2:57AM

saddly not!

its only a upscalling filter.

InFaMoUs1- @ Jul 21st 2009 2:57AM

nope.. just minor touch ups

The backgrounds, which were originally 3D, are being rendered at 1080p.

But the characters, which are sprites, are simply upscaled (you can choose what type of upscaling you want for the sprites, which is cool).

Yup, that's Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.

Bryan @ Jul 21st 2009 2:58AM

That is the game in question, no doubt about it.

/loads up MAME

Wow, that Iron Man "strategy" video is awful. The narrator talks about several moves, but the video doesn't actually display them. Then for an added bonus, it's flat out wrong when it says that Iron Man only has the one hyper combo, the Proton Cannon. Iron Man also has the deluge of rockets that shoot straight up and rain pain on his rival's head. I can't now recall the name of it, but it was quarter circle down-back + KK.

Raymond @ Jul 21st 2009 3:29AM

no, you're wrong. that's war machine.

aaronkruettgen @ Jul 21st 2009 3:08AM

I`m SO looking forward to this although I`m gonna get a serious ass beating on live.. :)
@ Bryan: How can you play MVC2 on MAME? It thought it wasn`t yet emulated!
Cheers

MvC2 runs on SEGA's NAOMI board. I'll leave it at that.

This game is really old...

TakeCTRL @ Jul 21st 2009 3:33AM

Well i learned one thing from the video. Ironman > Megaman

luvstarg8sg_1 @ Jul 21st 2009 4:02AM

Really why is anyone doing promotions for this game? its already going to be the top selling game for both systems.

latpack @ Jul 21st 2009 5:36AM

Ugh, so dated. Why can't they work up a sequel using SFIV's engine and kick the speed up a few notches?

Spartan @ Jul 21st 2009 5:45AM

Id love to see MVC3, or at least SFA4

ryanpaulmcgowan @ Jul 21st 2009 5:47AM

Because it costs more money now than it's worth to redo it all.

ryanpaulmcgowan @ Jul 21st 2009 5:57AM

Allow me to clarify that.

Recently Marvel has become much bigger than it was when the game was made. The amount of money it would cost Capcom to have an acceptable number of Marvel characters would likely be far greater than acceptable.

This is why they've done the Capcom VS Tatsunoanuenaksedau stuff instead. It's cheaper.

Jesus (PSN: Luttdawg) @ Jul 21st 2009 8:39AM

MVC3 on SF4 engine would be too awesome. Doubt it will ever happen :(

Spartan @ Jul 21st 2009 5:44AM

What is a "suggestive theme"?

ash808 @ Jul 21st 2009 5:51AM

"Oh, I'll show you MY suggestive theme"

is a suggestive theme

silverwolf761 @ Jul 21st 2009 12:05PM

It's because "I'm gonna take you for a ride!" is fully of sexual innuendo.

Optimaximal @ Jul 21st 2009 5:54AM

As much as I loved the Marvel vs. Capcom (& preceeding X-Men vs. Street Fighter) games over MAME, these vids just highlight how basic the tactics really are - if you can start juggling your opponent and keep them in the air, you're unbeatable!

Still, the Hyper combos are gratuitous in a good way.

Mister Servo @ Jul 21st 2009 6:05AM

Wolverine and Ryu lock eyes and then throw down, I can accept that, they're fighters after all. Same with Hulk and Zangief, they're just muscle bound slobber knockers. However, Storm saves Jill from a pack of Zombies and Jill launches a rocket at her? What a bitch.

Also, Iron Man is a total douche for unleashing his chest cannon at some poor kid that wandered into his lair.

mahouneko @ Jul 21st 2009 10:02AM

That "kid" is Megaman. I'm still not sure who was trying to hack into who's system. I think Ironman was trying to hack into Megaman because of the whole "unidentified armor" notice.

Gradoman @ Jul 21st 2009 7:18AM

Why is this game still being pushed...? Seriously, it's old, it's got an annoying boss, Cable + skill spam > everything, and it's not like the graphics have been updated.

I should have kept my DC copy mint and sold it for $21834082340834 since people are still drooling for this nonsense.

You might have gotten $80 for it....but its nowhere near as expensive as say...FFVII PS1 disc....I've seen those go for as much as $190

but the reason that we go crazy over stuff like this is because it was a part of our childhood....something we grew up on....something that for some reason or another we either no longer have and want to play again....OR we DO have and want to play on another system with our friends that didnt have it, this way we can play people around the globe....cant fault them for pushing it....
