truthfully, I downright suck! I want to love this game and I want to be good at it. 
 
By now there's enough videos showing how this game plays and I was wondering if anyone knows if this game plays like MvC 2? 
I own MvC 2 (mostly because it was on sale, and I've always loved that game since I played it in an arcade), but I suck so much at it and I just can't seem to get any better.
  
I love Marvel and I love Capcom so do you think that this game will be a good "introduction" to fighting games for me? 

Famous last words. I remember saying them about Super Street Fighter IV.

A bit like Mahvel 2 and from what I heard Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Although the control system changed once again, there is a simple operation mode for beginners.

Don't be intimidated. Capcom has done quite a bit to make this one more accessible to people who don't know much about actually playing it (like you and me). 

You could always have a look at the identical thread half way down the page, or I'm pretty sure there's a stickied thread for simple questions like this. I could be wrong though.
 
MvC is hard, simple mode is awful, you're handicapping yourself and it won't benefit you in the slightest if you want to get good. If you want to mash random buttons and jizz over magneto fighting wesker I think you'll enjoy it. You said you want to be good at it though, so I wouldn't suggest you get it. Pick up SSF4 first, cheap, much more approachable. If you can't play that to a decent level you've got no chance in Marvel.

I'm not either OP

I would not listen to this guy at all. MvC is nothing like Street Fighter so playing SSF4 would hardly benefit you at all. Just try it out somewhere, find the characters you like and are good with and then practice like hell.

I'm buying it, and I have certified proof with my time in SSFIV that I'm going to suck. So come join me, and we'll suck together! 
..Maybe I should rephrase that last part.

"No shit, I never actually said they were alike though... "

What a dumbass...

Uh not the point I was making. The point was that he doesn't need to buy SSF4 to understand MvC3 because the basics are the same so he should just practice MvC3. "

No, I think that was great phrasing. And I'll be there sucking with you too!  Okay, maybe it was poorly worded... "
