0. Notes
This FAQ focuses on the US arcade version of the game. This will not
mention anything on the 'D' 'V' and 'N' points thing on getting the hidden
stuff. (BTW, check out http://www.gamefaqs.com/mvc2vms.html as CJayC has put up
a hacked VMU with all the secrets unlocked; believe me, that's probably the only
reasonable way so far.) This FAQ also assumes that you've at least played Marvel
vs. Capcom and the other Vs. games. I didn't want to fluff this FAQ too much by
adding stuff most people already know.

1. When is it coming out?
It's already out in various places across the country starting 3/16/00.
Check the arcades in your area. For you importers, the release date for the
Japanese Dreamcast was moved up to 3/28/00. The DC US version had a date of
5/02/00, but that has since been pushed back to around July. I've also heard
that it won't be out until September.

2. Who are the characters in the game?
There were thought to be 52 characters in the arcade version of the game
and 40 for the Dreamcast version originally. But it seems that all 56 are going
to be in there even thought there are 52 boxes. On the Japanese Dreamcast
version, more boxes reveal themselves when you unlock past the 40 original ones.
This list is for the arcade version:

Capcom Marvel
------ ------
Akuma Cable
Amingo Captain America
Anakaris Cyclops
B.B. Hood Dr.Doom
Captain Commando Gambit
Guile Hulk
Hayato Iceman
Jin Juggernaut
Morrigan Magneto
Ruby Heart Marrow
Ryu Shuma Gorath
Sonson Spider-Man
Strider Hiryu Venom
Zangief Wolverine

and 28 need to be unlocked:
Capcom Marvel
------ ------
Block 1: Cammy Omega Red
Jill Psylocke
Sakura Rogue
Tron Bonne Storm

Block 2: Chun-Li Iron Man
M.Bison Silver Samurai
Megaman War Machine
Roll Wolverine-2

Block 3: Charlie Blackheart
Dan Colossus
Dhalsim Sabretooth
Ken Spiral

Block 4: Felicia Sentinel
Servbot (Kobun) Thanos

You can try to make out the hidden characters during the intro for the game,
which shows all the characters or their outline if they are still hidden.

A. How are the hidden characters unlocked?

The US version is not using the VMU from the Dreamcast at all. I think
their reasoning was that people will mess with it in the arcades here or that
people won't really bother with it at all. The hidden characters are unlocked by
Exp.(experience) points that is shown on the character selection screen and
title screen. Each coin/token put into the machine gives you one experience
point (this could vary depending on the operator's setting.) Points are also
given in what seems like set time intervals (like every 10 hours the game is on
or maybe even every day since there is an internal clock, 100 exp is added.)
This is so that even a machine in a smaller place will eventually get the
characters unlocked. Hitting the service trigger to cheat this system works,
sorry about me saying it didn't before. Every 400 exp raises the Lv.(level) by 1
and does something.

Lv.1 400 Exp - Marvel character gets unlocked
Lv.2 800 Exp - gold box around a random character
Lv.3 1200 Exp - gold box
Lv.4 1600 Exp - Capcom character gets unlocked
Lv.5 2000 Exp - gold box
Lv.6 2400 Exp - gold box
Lv.7 2800 Exp - Marvel character get unlocked
Lv.8 3200 Exp - gold box
...
Lv.25 10000 Exp - Block 2 Marvel character gets unlocked
...
Lv.49 19600 Exp - Block 3 Marvel character gets unlocked
...
Lv.73 29200 Exp - Block 4 Capcom character gets unlocked
...
Lv.84 33600 Exp - final gold box

So basically you get Marvel character, gold box, gold box, Capcom character,
gold box, gold box, Marvel character, ect. There seems to be an order to the
unlocking of characters. First the characters in block 1 are unlocked
(alternating between Marvel and Capcom characters) and then 2 and so on. Block 4
starts with a Capcom character instead and they just appear in a previously
blank area in the corners. The unlocked characters just become selectable on the
selection screen without any notice or message.

The full select screen will look something like this:

Felicia - Megaman - M.Bison - Psylocke - Rogue - Thanos
Jill - Guile - Amingo - Cyclops - Magneto - War Machine
Ken - T.Bonne - Ryu - Sonson - Marrow - Wolvie - SilverSam - Sabretooth
Charlie - Akuma - Zangief - Ruby Heart - Cable - Iceman - Gambit - Blackheart
Dhalsim - Jin - Anakaris - Hayato - Cap.Amer - Spidey - Juggernaut - Spiral
Dan - Sakura - Morrigan - B.B.Hood - Dr.Doom - Venom - Bonerine - Colossus
Cammy - Strider - Cap.Com - Shuma Gorath - Hulk - Ironman
Servbot - Roll - Chun-Li - Omega Red - Storm - Sentinal

B. What does those gold boxes around the characters mean?

The gold boxes mean that the character now has two more color that can be
chosen (with the Assist buttons.) Whoopee! In other words, the gold boxes are
generally useless.

C. Hidden/alternate stages

No word on any of the stages that are in the DC version being unlocked in
any arcades so far.

3. What's changed?

A lot...

A. Attacks buttons

Jab Fierce Assist 1
_ _ _
(_) (_) (_)
_ _ _
(_) (_) (_)
Short Roundhouse Assist 2

The biggest change is the new setup of the buttons. If you don't know yet,
the Strong and Forward buttons are gone and are now the Fierce and Roundhouse.
In place of Fierce and Roundhouse are the assist button, Assist 1 and Assist 2.
Most are guessing the main reason for this change was to conform to the standard
Dreamcast controllers, which were horrid for playing MvC. Another reason may be
that doing allowed for Capcom to put things into the game like Snapback and
assist characters, without having players worry about hitting the wrong two
buttons. The change isn't too bad, most players adapted after a few games.
The Strong and Forward attacks can still be done, usually inside a combo.
This is because the Jab and Short also double as Strong and Forward. Strider for
example can hit Jab-Short-Jab-Short-Fierce-Roundhouse and the second time the
Jab and Short are hit his Strong and Forward from MvC will come out. For a
character like Ryu who had a Weak to Strong chain, pressing Jab-Short would
result in a Jab-Forward coming out for him, because he can't chain a Short after
his Jab.
So for most characters, doing the 'full' air combo would now require
launching and then hitting Jab-Short-Jab-Short-Finisher.
Some of those who have launchers that is either Strong or Forward can also
do them by holding down-forward on the controller and hitting either Fierce or
Roundhouse, depending on what your character has for a launcher. And if your
character's old launcher was either a Strong or Forward like Zangief's then you
done have to chain into their launcher.

B. Assist Buttons
Remember how in Marvel vs. Street Fighter you can call your partner to
assist you with Strong + Forward? Well, that's what the main use of the Assist
buttons are for. As you all should know by now, there are 3 characters on your
team. After picking each of your character, you are given a choice of 3 assist
types. Some of these are pretty obvious (Projectile type, Anti-Air type, Dash
type, Heal type, ect.) Others such as Variety type, Expansion type and Balance
type, are less descriptive in what they are (Expansion is 'movement' in the
Japanese import.) After you pick them, you cannot change them until you lose and
choose your team again. With the Assist buttons you call your first character
under the main life bar out with Assist 1 and the bottom character with Assist
2. This can be used at almost any time you can do a special move except while
you are Super Jumping. This mean you can do it while sitting back charging with
Guile, while you are in the middle of a chain combo, anytime you can buffer into
something, right as you are jumping at or over an opponent, ect. After using an
Assist, you have to wait for the 'Assist OK' over the assist character you had
just used to go away before calling another assist or switching out with that
character. I don't think you can ever have all three characters on screen at the
same time except during a Triple Hyper Combo. Using your assists characters is
one of the key thing you most likely will have to be good at to be good at this
game. Be careful though, your assist character seems to take extra damage when
hit, but all done to them is red (aka recoverable) damage. But they cannot be
thrown (or autocomboed?) I know Jill's Tyrant super fails after the initial hit,
but Maximum Spider worked. There is a limit of one assist during a combo.
a. Snapback
QCF + Assist 1 or 2 will do your character's Snapback attack. You will
have a light effect coming from you as you do a normal move. This uses up one
super level and is a blockable attack that if connects will force your
opponent's current character out and force in another character, depending on
which Assist button you used (Assist 1 to force his middle character in, Assist
2 to force his bottom character in.) The character forced out is also unusable
for the opponent until the red 'X' over the life bar has gone away. Some
characters can combo these in. These may also becoming important as we learn
more about the game and may become one of the main ways to stop people from
overusing their assist characters.
b. Duo/Triple Hyper Combo
Pressing both Assist 1 and Assist 2 may do either a super, duo super,
or triple super. It will make use of as many characters and super meter as it
can. If you have only 1 character left and 5 levels of meter you get a regular
super since there are no more characters left to do more, if you have all three
characters but only 1 level of super meter you still get a regular super because
you don't have enough meter to do more. If you have 2 characters and 2 or more
levels you'll get a Duo Super using 2 level of meter up. Having 3 characters and
3 or more levels will allow you to do a Triple Super using 3 levels up. Doing
these DO NOT switch your character out like it did in the previous versus games.
These generally do not do enough damage to warrant the use of 3 levels, as you
do not switch your character out. Also, the supers you do depend on which assist
type you picked for your characters. Doing these does get rid of your partners
red life since they do not really switch in.

C. How do you switch characters?
Hitting Jab + Short will tag out your character and tag in you middle
character. Hitting Fierce + Roundhouse will tag in your bottom character.
Tagging in has been made fairer now. Where in MvC a blocked tag in usually meant
eating a super and hitting with your tag in only resulted in a little damage
done. Now if you hit with your opponent with a tag in, they get popped up
allowing you to combo them. They can roll out once they hit the ground so it's
best to hit them before then (duh.)
To switch the starting character before a match, hold either Assist 1 to
switch with your middle character or Assist 2 to switch with the bottom
character when the screen showing you and your opponent's characters in a
hexagon right before the match.
a. Delayed Hyper Combo (DHC)
I put this under here because this is probably the best way for you to
tag in characters in this game. To do this, while you are doing a super (it can
be anytime from when you start it until the background changes back to normal.)
Let's say you have Ryu, Morrigan, and Captain Commando (in that order). Ryu does
his super fireball, anytime during it you can do QCF+PP to have Morrigan jump in
and do her Soul Eraser or QCF+KK to have her do her Darkness Illusion. There are
a few things to consider here, first off, you most likely would want to wait as
long as possible before canceling to get the most out of Ryu's super. Then
depending on how far the opponent is from you the Darkness Illusion may or may
not connect. But you may want the Darkness Illusion over the Soul Eraser because
you can cancel into CapCom's Captain Sword while she has them up there or maybe
you want to do a Captain Storm after a Soul Eraser (Note: I'm not sure if these
would actually connect, this is just a scenario I made up.) Some of these DHC's
do insane damage (I know Guile-Captain America-Gambit has one that does 70-80%
and 99% on Akuma and Strider.) These will most likely replace the duo team
beating from MvC as the cheapest way to do damage. You can only do up to 3 super
this way and Level 3 supers are included (this is probably why 5 levels of super
is the max.) The last character doing this stays in and this will make the
characters you use lose their red life as they do switch in, even to just do one
super and switch back out.
b. Crossover Counters (b, db, d + Assist 1 or 2)
Another relatively safe way to switch your character. Works the same
as previous, while blocking an attack do the motion (the assist button you use
determines who comes out, Assist 1 for your middle character and Assist 2 for
your bottom character) and you character will tag out and your partner will come
and do an attack. The assist type you pick determines what the character does
for their counter. And yes, these can be super cancelled into supers.

D. Misc.
Super canceling from the PSX EX games are now doable. Just do a special
move and before the character recovers do that character's super. Push blocking
is now done with the 2 Punch buttons along with the various dashes. There is no
Easy Mode to pick from anymore (or at least the default settings don't have it.)
Throws are harder to do off someone's jump-in attack. The announcer is very
reminiscent of the Alpha 3 announcer. The music for the game is jazzy, elevator
music sounding. The backgrounds are awesome, too bad it only make the characters
look so much worse in comparison. You play 7 stages against the computer before
reaching Abyss. There is only one universal ending for all characters. There are
also no win quotes or pose points. The computer will use the hidden characters
once they are unlocked, but not before.

A. New characters

a. Amingo
Moves:
Daiti no Kodomo (Child of Ground) (grab): QCB + K
Daiti no Kodomo (Child of Ground) (attack): QCF + K
Midori no Kanki (Joy of Green): QCB + P
Kaze no Sakeb (Scream of Wind): QCF + P (air)
Supers:
Shokubutsu no Okite (Law of Vegetation): QCB + PP
Taiyou no Megumi (Sun's Blessing): QCF + KK
Assists:
A-Heal Type: Life Up vegetable, slow / Taiyou no Megumi
B-Enhance Type: Defense Up (Defense: 50% damage) / Taiyou no Megumi
C-Balance Type: Midori no Kanki / Taiyou no Megumi
Launcher: C.Strong and C.Forward
Snapback: S.Fierce
Ground Chain: Weak to Strong
Air Chain:
Super Jump Chain: Hunter
Colors (Hat/Pants):
Jab: Blue/Yellow Fierce: Red/Blue A1: Purple/Yellow
Short: Purple/Brown Roundhouse: Blue/Red A2: Red/Yellow
His beanstalk super connects after his launchers. His maraca super seems
useless for now as it does little damage, is blockable and is kind of slow. He
drops a plant on the ground and it goes across the screen. Supposedly if mashed
right, it does a lot of damage (no confirmation on this yet.) His normals are
good as they have good range and hit multiple times.

b. Anakaris
Moves:
Coffin Fall: d, d + P or K (air)
Cobra Blow: b, f + P (air)
Mummy Drop: QCF + P (air)
Royal Curse: QCF + K in air
Supers:
Pharaoh Magic: Roundhouse, Jab, d, Short, Fierce
Pharaoh Coffin Fall: d, d + PP
Pharaoh Illusion: Jab, Jab, f, Short, Fierce
Pharaoh Cobra Blow: b, f + PP
Assists:
A-Ground Type: Cobra Blow / Pharaoh Cobra Blow
B-Throw Type: Mummy Drop / Pharaoh Illusion
C-Variety Type: Coffin Fall / Pharaoh Coffin Fall
Launcher: C.Fierce
Snapback: S.Fierce
Colors:
Jab: Yellow/Blue Fierce: Green A1: Brown
Short: Pink/Red Roundhouse: Red/Yellow A2: Monochrome
Still have not gotten the hang of this guy. His Pharaoh Coffin Fall seems
useless. His Pharaoh Cobra Blow is nice as it does really good damage if you
know how to use it. Timing the button presses is key to getting the most of out
this super. The four attack buttons control the four heights in which the cobras
come out and you can only have two coming out at the same time, so try sending
them out so some are retracting. His Pharaoh Illusion causes him to go into the
background and you control his hands by using the attack buttons. Jab make the
left hand hit sideways, Fierce makes the right hand hit sideways, Short makes
the left hand hit downward and Roundhouse makes the right hand hit downward. You
can still be hit in the head while in this super. Weird character when compared
to the rest of the cast. Royal Curse turns everybody into the same thing; a
small, very defenseless straw doll. Potential traps there.

c. B.B. Hood
Moves:
Smiling Missile: Charge b, f + P or K
Happy Missile: Charge d, u + P or K
Shy Strike: QCB + P
Cheer of Fire: DP + P (air)
Supers:
Cruel Hunting: QCF + PP
Beautiful Memory: HCF + KK
Apple For You: HCB + KK
Assists:
A-Projectile Type: Smiling Missile / Cruel Hunting
B-Anti-Air Type: Cheer of Fire / Cruel Hunting
C-Variety Type: Shy Strike / Cruel Hunting
Launcher: S.Forward
Snapback: f, f + Fierce
Ground Chain: Hunter
Air Chain:
Super Jump Chain: Hunter
Colors:
Jab: Red Fierce: Purple A1: Dk. Blue
Short: Blue Roundhouse: White A2: Black
She can double jump. Her Cruel Hunting does massive block damage if you can
hit with the top portion of it. Fierce is good for jumping in on and her
Roundhouse attacks are landmines that have good range and knocks the opponent
away. Jab, and Short Smiling Missile makes for very good pressure. Not sure if
she's better as a keep away character or offensive character.

d. Cable
Moves:
Viper Beam: QCF + P (air)
Psimitar: DP + P
Electro Trap: QCB + K (air)
Psy Charge: HCB + P
Crack Down: QCF + K
Supers:
Hyper Viper: QCF + PP (air)
Time Flip: QCF + KK (can hit opponent while clone attacks)
Assists:
A-Projectile Type: Viper Beam / Hyper Viper
B-Anti-Air Type: Psimitar / Hyper Viper
C-Variety Type: Electro Trap / Hyper Viper
Launcher: S.Strong
Snapback: S.Roundhouse
Ground Chain: Weak to Strong
Air Chain:
Super Jump Chain: Hunter
Colors:
Jab: Blue Fierce: Lt. Green A1: Dk. Green
Short: Purple Roundhouse: Olive A2: Dk. Blue
Primary a keep away character thanks to the long recovery after his
projectile attacks. His Fierce make him shoot his gun, which can be canceled
into Viper Beam, which if hits can be super canceled into his Hyper Viper for
insane damage. The air version of his Hyper Viper is much better than the ground
version as there is almost no start-up and recovery (see DHCable combo on
www.shoryuken.com.) Probably the fastest super in the game if done right.

e. Felicia
Moves:
Delta Kick: DP + K (air)
Rolling Buckler: QCF + P, P or K
Sand Splash: QCF + K
Cat Spike: DP + P
Supers:
Dancing Flash: QCF + PP
Please Help Me: QCB + KK
Hyper Sand Splash: QCF + KK
Assists:
A-Expansion Type: Delta Kick / Hyper Sand Splash
B-Ground Type: Sand Splash / Hyper Sand Splash
C-Variety Type: Cat Spike / Hyper Sand Splash
Launcher: S.Roundhouse
Snapback: C.Forward
Ground Chain:
Air Chain:
Super Jump Chain: Hunter
Colors (Hair/Fur):
Jab: Blue/White Fierce: Black/Orange A1: Grey/White
Short: Red/White Roundhouse: White/Pink A2: Red/Black
Generally a pixie and a decent one. Hyper Sand Splash makes for a very good
assist killer. Please Help Me can combo after itself in the corner.

f. Guile
Moves:
Sonic Boom: Charge b, f + P
Somersault Kick: Charge d, u + K (Air d, u + K)
Supers:
Sonic Hurricane: QCF + PP
Somersault Strike: QCB + KK
Crossfire Blitz: Air, QCF + KK
Assists:
A-Anti-Air Type: Somersault Kick / Somersault Strike
B-Projectile Type: Sonic Boom / Sonic Hurricane
C-Balance Type: Sonic Boom / Sonic Hurricane
Launcher: C.Fierce
Snapback: f + Fierce
Ground Chain: Weak to Strong
Jumping Chain: Weak to Strong
Super Jump Chain: Hunter
Colors:
Jab: Olive Green Fierce: Grey A1: Olive Green w/tan
Short: Purple Roundhouse: Brown A2: Purple w/tan
All of Guile's super can be comboed into. On the ground you can chain
anything into S.Fierce or S.Roundhouse into either super, preferably Sonic
Hurricane. For his air combo he can connect with all 6 hits or can go into his
air super. I use to do it after a Jab-Short-Strong-Forward chain, but it being
blocked 25% of the time and he being open afterwards I just try do finish the
chain which does almost the same damage and leads to an OTG in the corner. He
can OTG after his Roundhouse air throw. His Somersault Kick, if blocked usually
knocks the opponent too far away for them to hit him before he recovers. By far
one of the better and very balanced character in the game so far.

g. Hayato
Moves:
Siden: QCF + P
Guren: DP + P (air)
Plasma Combo: b + Jab, Jab, Jab or Fierce, Jab
: b + Jab, Jab, Jab or Fierce, Roundhouse , Jab, Jab
: b + Fierce, Jab, Fierce, Short or Fierce, Fierce
Shirotora Hou: b, f + PP
Dive Pierce: air d + Roundhouse
Supers:
Rasetsu Slash: QCF + KK
Crescent Moon: QCF + PP
Plasma Field: QCB + KK (air)
B.Hayato (Level 3): Jab, Fierce, b, Short, Roundhouse
Assists:
A-Expansion Type: Siden / Crescent Moon
B-Anti-Air Type: Guren / Rasetsu Slash
C-Balance Type: Siden / Rasetsu Slash
Launcher: C.Fierce
Snapback: S.Roundhouse (2nd hit)
Ground Chain: Weak to Strong
Air Chain:
Super Jump Chain: Hunter
Colors:
Jab: White/Grey Fierce: White/Red A1: Red
Short: White/Blue Roundhouse: White/Brown A2: Black
Think Strider mixed with Ryu. Not too great as his moves have enough
recovery time for opponent to counter. Decent reach, thanks to his sword. Plasma
Field makes him turns bluish for a limited time and it gives him the ability to
use supers without using meter when the bubble hits the opponent. This can be
comboed in after his air combo-Guren. He can even do his Level 3 with less than
3 levels while it is in effect.

h. Jill
Moves:
Kinsetsu Sentou A (Close Combat A): QCF + P (air) (Fierce version can
be held)
Grenade Launcher: DP + P (can be held)
Kinkyuu Kaihi A (Emergency Evasion A): QCB + K (Short for zombie that
holds opponent, Roundhouse for exploding zombie)
Kinkyuu Kaihi B (Emergency Evasion B): QCF + Short (dog)
Kinkyuu Kaihi C (Emergency Evasion C): QCF + Roundhouse (bird)
Ousen Shageki (Return Fire): HCB + P (Beretta counter-attack)
Supers:
Kinsetsu Sentou A+ (Close Combat A+): QCF + PP (air)
Code: T-002: QCB + KK
Rocket Launcher: QCF + KK
Assists:
A-Heal Type: Life Up herb, fast / Rocket Launcher
B-Dash Type: Close Combat A / Close Combat A+
C-Projectile Type: Grenade Launcher / Rocket Launcher
Launcher: C.Fierce
Snapback: S.Roundhouse
Ground Chain: Weak to Strong
Air Chain: Weak to Strong
Super Jump Chain: Hunter
Colors:
Jab: Blue Fierce: Orange/Yellow A1: Brown/Grey
Short: Pink Roundhouse: Blue-Green A2: Grey
Mostly a pixie character though you can kind of set up a Captain Commando-
like keep away game with her 'helpers.' She can combo into her charging super
very easily on the ground and in the air after most moves. She has no limit on
how many 'helper' attackers are on screen, so if you want she can have the dog,
bird, a zombie, and an assist character onscreen at the same time. Her Grenade
Launcher isn't much of a projectile and is more so anti-air. Her Rocket Launcher
works kind of like Proton Cannon where if it hits as she brings it out, it'll
connect fully, otherwise it is very avoidable (she even falls back afterwards
like Chun-Li does in Pocket Fighter.) Her Tyrant super is insanely hard to hit
with as you have to have the opponent the right distance from you, on or very
close to the ground and not blocking. Right afterwards, you can do her Rocket
Launcher to hit Tyrant into the opponent for a little more damage. Her zombies
along with her animal attacks can be hit down, in fact you, your animal, and
your assist character can knock your zombie over and it'll stay on the ground
for a bit grabbing the opponent if they get near just like they do in the
ResEvil series. Her zombies come in from behind you and keep moving forward
really slowly. She can OTG after her Roundhouse either into Close Combat A or
Short-C.Fierce-AC. Her Fierce Close Combat A can be charged much like Megaman's
Mega Buster. Not really worth it as she loses her launcher and gets more
recovery after the move. Holding down the button after the Grenade Launcher
increases the range of it.

i. Marrow

A pixie character. Has a double jump. Her Boneerang stays in place for a
bit and allows her to zone. Not that great as she doesn't really have anything
damaging.

Colors (Hair/Suit):

Short: Grey/Blue Roundhouse: Grey/Olive A2: Red/Dk. Purple
Her Schwarzalle and Hyper Schwarzalle can be redirected with a direction +
P (up to 2 times for regular and I think 5 times for super.) Try to control it
so you land safely. Fantome's ghost will suck away your opponent's super energy
if it touches them. Her Tooru Do Maji is when she drops a barrel on you. It
seems to be 'timing' super where you have to hit the right buttons at the right
time to get the max damage out of it.

Wow, and you thought Roll was small. It is not as small as it looks as some
moves that looks like it should miss, don't on it. Almost no range what-so-ever
on most attacks and even worst, he does almost no damage on his attacks. What
Servbot does for his Lunch Rush depends on what his assist is. A Type gives you
the regular Lunch Rush, B Type gives you the stepwise drop of Servbots and C
Type gives you the Servbot Legion which does very good chipping damage, more
than it would do if it had hit. Really you can only run and build meter/recover
your other characters with him.

Jab: Red Fierce: Green A1: Pink

Money King super can do a lot of block damage with her fire breath. The
stick super will hit the opponent with the stick on the way up. POW, well, it
can be use against jump-ins but is risky otherwise very hard to connect and does
too little damage.

m. Tron Bonne

Colors:
Jab: Green Fierce: Purple A1: Grey
Short: Pink Roundhouse: Olive A2: Lt. Pink
Her Command Shot is slow in coming out and if it hits, holds the opponent
in place for a bit. Lunch Rush works kind of like Command Shot where she shoots
the opponent to lock them in place for the rush. If you have her Throw Type
assist, do it by doing a team super (Assist 1 + Assist 2) instead of QCF + PP,
because the serve bots will come out even if you don't hit the opponent with the
gun. A lot of her normals are like Jin's where they seem like special moves.

B. Old characters

Launcher: C.Fierce
Snapback: f + Fierce
Colors(Hair/Gi):
Jab: Red/Black Fierce: Red/White A1: Blonde/Purple
Short: White/Grey Roundhouse: Orange/Red A2: White
But can play a good keep away game. Could have been of the better character
as he has easy to do damaging combos (C.Short-C.Forward-Roundhouse hurricane
kick-super air fireball) and can run. Too bad he takes so much damage. He has
his hurricane kick super from the SF3 series (QCF + KK) but is useless.

b. Blackheart
Moves:
Dark Thunder: HCF + P
Inferno: HCB + P
Supers:
Armageddon: QCF + PP
Judgment Day: QCB + PP (air)
Heart of Darkness: QCF + KK
Assists:

C-Launcher Type: S.Strong / Armageddon
Launcher: S.Strong
Snapback: C.Strong
Colors:
Jab: Blue Fierce: Black A1: Purple
Short: Lt. Blue Roundhouse: Dk. Blue A2: Dk. Purple
Move list is unchanged from MvSF. He loses his Strong and Forward attacks
at will which were apparently some of his best moves. Inferno assist is very
good, a slower version of Captain Corridor that tracks the opponent. Surprising
one of the better characters in the game with his jumping roundhouses able to
keep most characters under pressure.

c. Cammy

She can air combo into her Killer Bee Assault (now QCB + PP) after a Cannon
Spike and continue with an OTG. Has a double jump. Very fast dash.

Launcher: C.Fierce, S.Strong
Snapback: S.Roundhouse
Colors:
Jab: Blue Fierce: Shiny Lt. Blue A1: Shiny Dk. Blue
Short: Green Roundhouse: Shiny Grey A2: Dk. Blue
Pretty much can be played the same as his MvC counterpart except for losing
the S.Strong as anti-air. No ground level Shield Slash, Jab version goes strait
ahead. His Jabx3 -> double jump air combo is still there; just that you have to
time the Jabs now or else his Strong comes out. Still has Short-Forward-Hyper
Stars and Stripes. His Dash Type assist is great for countering beam traps.

e. Captain Commando
Moves:
Captain Fire: QCF + P

Colors:
Jab: Blue Fierce: Lt. Green A1: Black
Short: Red Roundhouse: Gold A2: Pink
Seems to play the same but it looks like he is easier to get in on now that
you can abuse assist characters. S.Roundhouse into Captain Sword still works
along with Captain Storm into Captain Sword. Comboing into the Captain Storm
after a C.Fierce is much easier. The Captain Corridor assist is hella good. He
still has the Kick Throw glitch from MvC, only it is now also doable on a human
opponent.

Colors:
Jab: Blue Fierce: Green A1: Purple
Short: Pink Roundhouse: Red A2: Black
Old df + Roundhouse is now db + Roundhouse. Her head stomp is jump d +
Roundhouse. This sucks, as you have to think about what you are doing before
sticking out a low Roundhouse. You can no longer chain a Fierce or Roundhouse
after her head stomp. Her air super from MvC seems to be gone now. Fierce no
longer combos into her Senretsu Kyaku. All in all sucks now that she doesn't
have much for damaging combos. With assists she might have something. Just call
out assist while airborn with her as she can triple jump, air dash and head
stomp.

h. Colossus

Horridly animated, but insanely powerful. You can use Super Armor as a

He's much improved over his MvSF counterpart; Mega Optic Blast does great
block damage again and can be done in air now with him slowly falling during it.
Supposedly another good character because of his keep away game with assists and
his J.Roundhouse. Iceman kills him, as Iceman takes no block damage from most of
his attacks.

He can now chain his weak attacks to a strong attack. I guess this makes up
for him losing his pokes with Strong and Forward.

His Sphere Flame combos after his launcher. His Electric Cage looks sort of
like Chun-Li's super puffball only it moves forward as a small fireball and then
gets bigger when it hits. His Molecular Shield is one of the best assist in the
game. In fact he is one of the best character in the game. Super jumping Photon
Shot is just too good if used right.

His C.Fierce launcher is better and his Gamma Charge has also improved.
Comparable to how he was in MSF. Gamma Crush hurts really bad now if it hits
fully.

Snapback: S.Fierce
Colors:
Jab: Bluish Fierce: Dk. Bluish A1: Greenish
Short: Also Bluish Roundhouse: Pinkish A2: Also Greenish
No block damage from most 'energy' projectile attacks along with a few
other moves, another insane keep away game (starting to see pattern here?), and
a fast dash is making him one of the best characters so far. He only seems to
have one super, Arctic Attack (QCF + PP) but it can be easily combo off his air
combo or S.Fierce. Ice Beam is a very good assist as it nullifies any of you
opponent's and their assist's projectiles. Ice Fist causes your punches to do
more damage and block damage if blocked. Breaks after it hits or is blocked
three times.

p. Iron Man
Moves:
Unibeam: QCF + P (air)

Use him over War Machine as his Repulsor Blast and Proton Cannon is much
better. He cannot chain after the knee dive. Unibeam comes out fast and has good
recovery.

q. Jin Saotome

Snapback: C.Fierce

Jab: White Fierce: Red/Black A1: Pink/White
Short: Black/Gold Roundhouse: Green/White A2: Blue/Yellow
He is better because his air Roundhouse drill attack hit more times making
them safer. He can combo into his Saotome Cyclone after his launcher. C.Strong-
Blodia Punch is still there but is harder to connect. I like his Saotome Typhoon
assist, a lot.

r. Juggernaut
Moves:
Earthquake Punch: f, df, d + P
Juggernaut Punch: HCF + P

Launcher: C.Fierce

Colors:
Jab: Brown Fierce: Lavender A1: Orange
Short: Grey Roundhouse: Green A2: Red
Headcrush comes out fast and does great damage. Almost anything bigger than
a Jab or Short blocked, mean a Headcrush. If you can, mash it for the 8 hits.
It's hard to do but the damage is well worth it. There's is a glitch involving
his Power-Up where if you switch out while still in it, he will keep it for the
rest of the round or until he Power-up's again and uses it normally. Pretty
nasty bug.

Colors:

His dash is fast, probably the fastest in the game. His Force Field move is
a counterattack like Cammy's and Jill's. It you hit him, he'll do a one hit
Magnetic Shockwave. Insane combos with Hyper Grab -> Tempest.

She seems to have lost her Eternal Slumber from MvC. ABout the same, good

Short: White/Purple Roundhouse: White/Pink A2: Blonde/Tan
Energy Drain still gives you back more life than you have in red, but it is
really little. His supers have been changed in their motion to QCB + PP for
both. QCF + PP gives you the coil that goes upward. The same applies for his
kick attack; QCF + KK goes upward. One of the better characters in the game. Can
charge the super meter fast with canceled Omega Strikes and Roundhouses.

From those who used her in MSH, they say she is a lot faster. Dash in with
her C.Short. That move has insane range and priority. She can do the full Hunter
series into her C.Fierce launcher on almost everybody. Then super cancel her Psi
Blade into her Kochou Gakure to finish her air combos. Her Ninjitsu Teleport
only goes to 4 places on the screen now.

No longer does the opponent's move when she absorbs their powers. She now
gets enhancements, such as Power Up (Offense 125%) from Juggernaut and Hulk, or
Speed Up from Wolverine. Supposedly annoying when she has Speed enhancement. She
also has Meter Up, Life Up, and Defense Up (Defense 50% damage). She has a semi-
infinite while she has Speed-up. As I found out the hard way, she can be down
right nasty when played right (SJ -> Divekick (air d + Roundhouse.)

No more mode switching now that Akuma and Ken are in the game. He is a bit
faster. Still has his Fierce into super fireball. Air comboing into the super
fireball is also easier to do. His Snapback is his overhead, slow but has to be
blocked high.

Why they made her transformation 3 Levels still bothers me. She really

Has super armor. He also seems to have some pretty sick combos in the
corner with Fierce Rocket Punches and Hyper Sentinel Forces. Can play a game of
trading hits as he takes the least damage (normally) and does the most. One of
the top characters in the game. He can dominate the ground very easier and his
speed while in Flight is insanely fast.

His life absorb throw only recovers up to what he has in red energy after
that it recovers him really slowly. Chaos Dimension hurts a lot and you can OTG
afterwards.

The Shuriken and Triple Shuriken chips for good damage. Lightning gives him
more speed and allows him to do the Triple Shuriken in the air. Fire gives him
more power and QCF + KK will do a rising fire column. Ice gives him armor and
QCF + KK will do a ground ice super which has to be blocked low and freezes the
opponent allowing you to hit afterwards. His Sword Modes affect the damage does
and he takes as indicated by 'O' for offense and 'D' for defense.

hh. Spider-Man

Seems to play the same. Air combo still does good damage and he doesn't
have to worry about Zangief now.

Metamorphosis will cause Spiral to morph into each of the Marvel characters
and do a hit each with them. Does great damage. Her Assist 1 + Assist 2 Gamma
Type Metamophosis does great block damage.

Easier to use than she was in XSF. Hail Storm is very nice in hurting
assist characters while staying safe. Her S.Roundhouse has great range and
priority. You can use her Lightning Attack to fly around the screen. Whirlwind
eats up many things including Doom's rocks. One of the best character in the
game.

Snapback: S.Roundhouse
Colors:
Jab: Lavender/Red Fierce: Green/Orange A1: Grey/White
Short: Tan/Red Roundhouse: Brown/Orange A2: Red/White
Ohh, let's see... now that the Strong and Forward buttons are gone, he can
no longer poke with those. His S.Fierce and S.Roundhouse now knocks the enemy up
a bit and away so his Gram no longer connects afterwards. His Ouroboros does not
last as long and you cannot do a super while in it, except maybe DHC during the
start-up, which is mostly a waste. He has a lot more recovery after Legion. One
can now easily Super Jump over the whole thing and land behind him with time to
hit him. A lot of people say that his assists all suck, but someone here manage
to do well with his teleport kick assist, just make sure you keep his ass
covered afterwards cause he take damage like Akuma. He can now attack on the way
after he does his punch Warps. He's good in this game even after all that
they've took away from him; he just has to be played differently than MvC.

ll. Thanos
Moves:

Launcher: S.Strong

Colors:
Jab: Blue Fierce: Orange A1: Purple
Short: Dk. Blue RH: Green A2: Grey
Seems to be better as his Venom Fang seems to do more damage. His Alpha
assist is mad cheasy, just make sure to cover him when he taunts after he does
it. His air combo is harder to do for some reason, I don't know what I'm doing
wrong. He is supposedly easier to play now. Can combo Venom Bite after
S.Forward.

nn. War Machine
Moves:
Shoulder Cannon: QCF + P or K (in air P)
Repulsor Blast: HCB + P
Smart Bomb: Short + Fierce (air)

Jab: Grey/White Fierce: Green/White A1: Blue/Tan
Short: Blue/White Roundhouse: Dk. Blue/White A2: Dk. Grey/White
He has the moves of GWM from MvC (missiles instead of beams.) Much faster
on this projectile attacks. No more canceling Fierce or Roundhouse after the
knee dive.

oo. Wolverine
Moves:
Berserker Barrage: QCF + P
Berserker Slash: QCB + P
Tornado Claw: DP + P
Drill Claw: Short + Fierce (air)
Supers:
Berserker Barrage X: QCF + PP

Launcher: S.Roundhouse
Snapback: S.Fierce
Colors (Gloves & Boots):
Jab: Blue Fierce: Purple A1: Green
Short: Tan Roundhouse: Lt. Blue A2: Dk. Purple
Ouch, he has lost a lot. He is slower, his Drill Claw is slower, it is much
harder to combo into his supers (Jab-Short-Strong-BBX seems to be it for now),
his dive kick no longer cancels into Roundhouse nor another divekick. He can
still pressure, but the rewards are not as high anymore and with assist
characters the risks are greater.

pp. Wolverine-2 (aka LAW, Bonerine)
Moves:
Berserker Barrage: QCF + P
Tornado Claw: DP + P (air)
Drill Claw: Short + Fierce (air)
Supers:
Berserker Barrage X: QCF + PP

Launcher: S.Roundhouse
Snapback: S.Fierce
Colors(Gloves & Boots):
Jab: Blue Fierce: Brown A1: Dk. Purple
Short: Tan Roundhouse: Black A2: Dk. Brown
He loses some moves (Fatal Claw, Berserker Claw, and Berserker Rage) and
gains the ability to do Tornado Claw in air. He has better range on his Jab
thanks to his longer claws, C.Forward does not knock down and his dive kick is
XvSF style. If you like flashier combos, go with this Wolverine.

Colors:
Jab: Red Fierce: Pink A1: White w/black skin
Short: Blue Roundhouse: Black A2: Yellow w/black skin
He no longer has his Triple Option. If you don't know what that is then you
shouldn't be using him in the first place. His old Strong throw is now a command
motion (QCB + Jab.) But missing it means getting his Elbow Drop. His Screw Pile
Driver does a lot more damage, about 20-30%, but with a game full of unlimited
helpers that cannot be thrown, he is gonna have a hard time getting in to do it.
When he is in his Iron Body mode, he is much quicker now versus older games. And
his Hyper Lariat that he does during team supers is doable. Just press both
Assist buttons when you only have 1 level of super meter or when he is the last
character.

C. Abyss
From what I can remember people saying, he is one of the sons of Apocalypse
and appeared during the War of the Gems saga. This may be wrong as he apparently
doesn't look anything like that Abyss and may in fact be a Capcom creation for
this game. Abyss comes in 3 forms and each has hyper armor. His first form is
kind of like Onslaught's first form but much slower and telegraphs his attacks.
He has moves like Onslaught (the charge, the beam) and a hail storm-like attack.
After he is defeated, he melts into a small green thing which mostly uses
projectile attacks and unblockable bubbles that trap you and will catch you off
guard once in a while as you attack him. His third form is kind of like a huge
Venom as he does his Venom Fang and creepy as he is the stage and will keep
going offscreen. The black ball floating around is hittable. This form is easy
if you have a super that hit for a lot (like beams) and can connect with it.
