Marvel vs Capcom 2 Training Room

Marvel vs Capcom 2 has finally been re-released for Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection. Newcomers and veteran players can now enjoy online play with rollback netcode and a new training mode support. It’s a truly exciting time. It feels like the game was released for the first time. So here are three ways to get better at this classic fighting game. 

Practice on Different Game Modes

The best way to get better at this game is to go online and play it. This game now has a rollback netcode, which is darn good now. The lag is pretty much close to the minimum. The ranking system is also pretty good, it ranks you based on your points. It will also automatically match you with players who share your same skill level. If you want to play something a little less serious, you can always hop on the casual game modes. They have queues for casual matches, that will not affect your rank at all, say, if you just want to get some practice in without losing rank points.

MvC Fighting Collection added improvements in the training mode. Training mode for Marvel vs Capcom 2 now allows you can to view the hitboxes in the training mode, as well as the hurtboxes. They keep track of frame data in real time, replays, and brand-new menus to utilize. Capcom went above and beyond by implementing many modern-day fighting game mechanics into this collection’s training mode. Overall, these improvements will motivate you practice combos and team synergy at your own pace.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has one of the most famous rosters of characters in any fighting game. There are a total of 56 characters as the two universes further collide. Players can now choose up to three characters instead of two, leading to 168 team and synergy combinations. While controlling one character, the other two can be used for assist attacks during combos or specials. Each character has a total of 3 assists based on their skillset. Jill Valentine, for example, has a healing assist with herbs, and Gambit can throws cards for a projectile assist. The combat will take time to experiment until you can figure out your fighting style.

Many professional players recommend to learn the game with the top tiers. This is an understandable tip. Play the characters that you resonate with. Whether you love Spider-Man, Ryu, Cyclops, or even Amingo, play whoever you want to play. This will motivate you to learn their skillset and combos to improve your fighting style.

Watch People Play

With access to YouTube videos, watching competitive Marvel vs. Capcom players are an easy access to learning different techniques. It is a game that has truly been played, dissected, and mastered for the past twenty years. These videos vary in character combo tutorials and tournament matches. Having a visual aid of a professional player can help you implement and adapt techniques. Take notes of which character and techniques can match together to time your combo execution.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 tournaments are even more commonplace now that the game has a good netcode again. Some various announcers and players have been studying the game ever since it was released in 2000, so the internet is truly your oyster. All in all, the best way to get better at Marvel vs Capcom 2 is to immerse yourself in it as deeply as possible. It can certainly be overwhelming at the start, but once you get past that first layer, you’ll find one of the greatest fighting games ever made.
