I loved the first Marvel Vs. Capcom (not so much the second one), and this looks to be very much in the same style as that. I can't wait to play this.

If you want a fighter on the Wii then King Of Fighters: The Orochi Saga or Samurai Showdown Anthology would be better bets unless you wanna go vor the Virtual Console.
But those two games you can more or less get for a wink and a smile nowadays.

Ouch, i guess i'm easily influenced.
I really wanted to play this game, but hearing Jeff being not-so-enthousiastic about it completely made me flip-flop.

I generally feel the same as Jeff about the Vs. series, but Capcom v. SNK was awesome.

If you wanted it, you should go for it. Every man in entitled to an opinion, and Jeff's is that... an opinion. He even menction that is not his thing, but that doesn't mean the game is bad or that you can't enjoy it.

This dosent look as crazy as Marvel Vs Capcom 2... which is a good thing. But it dosent feel as awesome as Capcom Vs SNK.  
 
But hence, i have yet to play it, and when i do i will probably fall in love with it.

Looks compelling to me, like fun casual gameplay.  I find I generally have pretty different fighting tastes from Jeff (hated SFIV, loved BlazBlue) so I think it may actually be something I like. 
 
Certainly worthy of a Gamefly checkout.

It's not all that casual really, you can play it button mashy like Jeff is doing against the AI on normal/easy but thatwon't get you all that far. The game has some pretty deep gameplay mechanics backing it up that are not shown in this quicklook.

The AI in this game is brutal by the way on the higher levels.

Yeah, it always seemed to me that something like Capcom Vs. SNK 2 or SVC: Chaos was something more up Jeff's ally.

No offense to Jeff, who I genuinely like... but seriously, don't review this. Or fighting games in general. [Blazblue anyone?]
 
You're mediocre and aren't going to try to actually check out the depth of it...
What exactly would you be reviewing then? How neat it looks?
 
Also, if anyone doesn't buy it because of Jeff's lack of enthusiasm... you're a bloody stupid sheep. Read a review from a knowledgeable person, such as:
http://www.gamingnexus.com/Article/Tatsunoko-vs-Capcom-Ultimate-All-Stars/Item2522.aspx
 
It's annoying to think that this Jeff reviewed Blazblue... I mean, on what "authority" did he do that?
He doesn't know his fightang gaems, he's not really checking them out... It's annoying.

this game just straight up isnt great. 
 
its competent, its not broken, bad, or wrong. its just not good. it doesnt feel good. 
 
characters have too much health, damage is very low, matches just drag on and on, and the pace is super slow. people who directly equate the way the game plays to mvsc2 or even the earlier vs games blow my mind. its nowhere near that fast, frantic, or most importantly, fun. 
 
its an average game at best, maybe edging out capcom fighting jam. maybe.

I suppose you never played the actual game and are basing this on the quicklook only?
 
This quicklook is far from representative from what the game is all about.

If Ryan wants to watch an anime he's sure to like, try Cromartie High.  The English dub is fantastic.

Ryan was at least an order of magnitude ( x 1000) out in calling the "x" billion scores.  
 
Don't forget those extra digits folks; meaning Jeff was infact scoring in the "trillions" (unless, of course, the game used the traditional british intermediate term for "thousand billion", which would then make the score US "quadrillions" or Euro "billiards".
