I'm new here. a PS2 MVC2 scrub. Howdy folks. 
 
Got me a PS3  now and MVC3 is on the way via Amazon. You fellas seem pretty chummy. Hope to meet up with some of ya soon. I'm a weekend warrior mostly, from the East Coast. 
 
I gotta ask this: how many of you are using a ps3 controller and not an arcade stick? Not sure I wanna drop  a buck on a stick, and I'm praying that the controller will be worthy of Marvel madness. Can the buttons be re-mapped? Can 2 button commands be mapped to a single R-button? I see that X-factor requires a 4-button input (and the 3rd tier hypers need 3 buttons) and I'm not seeing myself mash this very easily with just one thumb... 
 
I'll be attacking the user list at the start of this thread when the time comes. Peace out and happy hunting.

aha, excellent, gosukiller! thanks for that quick update. All I ever played was the PS2, and the Rbuttons did the advancing guard, flight, and supers. When I graduated to the PS3, I was crippled in MVC2. Glad to hear I  can get some of my control back by using the Rbuttons again.

gg rhak and static... edit: AND COOKIES AS WELL
 
@Rhaknar: tbh after a couple of days you'll be beating me... played alot of games today and i still have no idea how to get in at all

you were locking me down all the time >_>

hitting random buttons and hoping for the best lol

watching some of that Team Khaos streamed videos. firstly... well heck wow for Bucktooth going apes#!7 on everybody else. and secondly... why can't the competition keep up?? 
 
Mind you, I'll be one of those getting whupped (mostly due to the limitations of a ps3 controller) for quite a bit until I get some serious practice in. I'm sorta hoping Bucktooth is one of the elite (?) and not the average player, cuz otherwise I'mma have my hands full!

He was one of the guys that worked on the MVC3 Guidebook.   Oh, and you think he's good, J.Wong trolled everyone with his Wolverine on WNF. Ridiculous. "

and... a guide book? boy I've been outta the loop. where's a fella pick that up? will it be better than the info given at  Marvel vs Capcom 3 - Shoryuken Wiki, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Strategy and More! ?

Are any of the videos archived? "

Thought I was going to die, net went out on Thursday, still nothing Friday evening so rang them up, they'll send me a new router...Tuesday at the earliest. Managed to get it working though by turning it on and off 100 times, should be on this evening for some games.

Hulk definitely looks wicked, and he was one of my main characters with MVC2. Wondering if there's a good mix I can stir up like Hulk, X-23, and ... ? Wesker? Deadpool? Spencer? Rather hate this waiting around lol. Monday's a holiday, and postal tracking has my game stuck somewhere between here and Norwood, MA over the long weekend. :(

Anyone up for some games Sunday? Could use some serious leveling up

"Anyone up for some games Sunday? Could use some serious leveling up "

i hear if u push all 4 buttons randomly. magic happens.

Had some GGs with Rhaknar, the EU->US lag wasn't too horrible, a few dropped combos for my wolvie but Hulk was fine. I look forward to facing the rest of my compatriots across the pond.

Dammit, my game is due to arrive tomorrow. Today would've been an excellent oppertunity to hit some training mode, but alas.

Brodehouse is Brodehouse on PSN.  He has yet to ever win.  But he likes Wesker.

PSN Black_Scotch- And I am in New Zealand

I'm up for games on Monday, I have the day off because Canada has "family day" which is the stupidest holiday ever. Who's up for some MvC3?

I am going to nail Buktooth's Doom loop by the end of the day, even if my fingers are reduced to bleeding, blistered, barnacled stubs. 
 
...then Ammy...

MVC3 arrived! Together with a crappy T-shirt! 
 
PYPE!!!

I'm not sure if i should buy SSFIV or MvC3.
I don't have experience with Beat 'em ups.
Anyone has an advice for me?

@monocactus: You can find SSF4 for cheaper, but like GE said MvC3, being the new shit right now, has a much bigger community, especially here.

Both games have elements to them that make them easy to pick up. SSF4 is the slower game, and the bulk of what you need to succeed is in fundamentals and matchup knowledge rather than combos. MvC3 is faster, but the basic combos are easier. Not only will you need to learn the game's own set of fundamentals but you'll need to build a solid team and learn more advanced combos for all 3 characters on your team. 

Both games are fun at super basic levels. SSF4 can get more frustrating at higher levels, whereas MvC3 gets crazier.

Thank you both.
 
For me, the footage of MvC3 is quite disturbing.
I don't see the fighters anymore because of all the effects. Seems a little overload.
How do you feel?

5 ranked wins gotten in my first 5 games... there aint no reason to go on ranked no more is there?
