For new players trying to learn this game, don't think about how to "Play Properly". This is an older fighting game with various working strategies. Focus on learning how to "Win by any means." This is the spirit of MVC2.
Getting zoned by mega man and sentinel assists is so wack. Even doing that to someone doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe controlled cheapness is he way to go cause I’m not tryna match up against a bunch of weirdo zoners all the time 😬
this is actually REALLY GOOD ADVICE imo. Dood literally just gave one tip and it's instantly better than 90% of guides. And not gonna name any names but most of the guides are literally just the marquee card.
I agree, but I feel like the game has so many different mechanics that a tutorial wouldn't do it justice. A lot of it is just trial and error or personal discovery.
You have no idea how important what you’re saying is. Coming from someone who mostly played this game on their own, against the computer, just doing magic series combos, I figured out the hard way that it’s not about combos. It’s about kind of “throwing crap out there” at first and learning from there.
I really needed this video. I don’t need absolute basics like “here’s what the buttons do” and I don’t need high level discussion about the meta. I just need practical guidance like pressing attack with assist. I’ve been stuck in a character crisis for years and finally feel like I have a game plan. I can finally pick up where I left off… which was on the PS2.
Same here! I'm playing Jill, Gambit, SonSon! Getting absolutely destroyed but having a great time! Thankfully all the oldschool players I've ran into have been pretty respectful
Best to play what you like. When I pick this collection up I'm 100% going back to my silly crew of Servbot, Cable, Tron. But might adjust and sub cable or Tron with Storm. Servbot is too funny not to use, even if it's arguably the worst character. That and Roll...Roll tier is real.
Online is fun but you will have a 100x more experience playing local. Get a friend a mess around with all of the characters. Thats where the real fun is!

I always appreciate these basic videos for newbs like myself. Helps us get our foot in the door so we can have fun (which is the most important point).
I’m glad that really good fighting game players are tryna help us out cause I’m TRASH, I’m so used to playing umvc3 and infinite, “pressing buttons with assist” all I needed to hear to understand what I need to do
No Joke, you can tell how Passionate someone is when they are explaining the most minute things of a game and we all Appreciate it and Enjoy it. Thank you Max
Man this is really helpful. I've been watching a lot of videos but people just want to tell you the mechanics and leave it at that. I was looking for how to strategically address the gameplan and figure it out and this explanation is great.
The collection made me realize I might not wanna learn, but actually MSH vs SF and MvC1. 2 is awesome but I love the 2 team fighters a bit more in this collection tbh
Honestly thanks for the tips Max, I've always been more of a CvS2 type of guy and I remember having bad experiences when I played MvC2 at the arcades back in the day, fast forward many years later I'm giving it a try again and slowly starting to have fun with it, these tips will further enhance my enjoyment and time with the game.
I've watched Max play this game for years and after a few days of playing and getting crushed when he said "assist WITH button" I swear a light bulb went off 😂
I just was going against him. I had Chun Li doing the hyper kick, it was lighting up the opponent's Cyclops and the Juggernaut assist but I couldn't mash the button forever. She lowkey was holding back his punch for a good few seconds tho! 😂 he smushed her in the end
Thank you so much for this guide! So much of the material online is focused around technicalities of certain setups and tech skill while I'm just trying to figure out how I'm even supposed to approach someone without getting blown up. Coming from a modern non-tag fighter to this is such a stark difference but I'm still having fun mashing through the arcade mode and trying to figure out how to force Ruby Heart to work on my team
Been playing these games since COTA on the Saturn (middle finger to 90s shitty PAL conversions) without any real idea about tier lists, TODs, infinites, synergy, etc and i've always had a ton of fun just playing around with the characters based on vibes. I really hope that people play offline with their friends if poss, plus have enjoyable experiences online without getting continuously absolutely battered or becoming so concerned about winning that you only see the same few characters...
I love Max's dedication to getting new people into this classic game. While I am not an OG at this game, my first introduction to it was on the ps3 and I have always been nostalgic for it, even when I wasn't good at fighting games.
this is a godsend, if you can make this a series about learning mvc2/fighting games in general, like I usually have trouble knowing what to do, like how do i even approach or play neutral sometimes. Knowing the basics like this does help a ton
@MaximilianDood thanks bro as a brand new marvel vs. capcom 2 player at 27 years old starting with the fighting collection probably on Christmas Day that evening after I finish up at my grandparents for the day with my extended family and come home, that’s definitely going to help me when I pick up Venom as my point character as I hear he’s not only a great beginner character but, I mean what Marvel fan doesn’t like Venom? Not many that I know don’t at least so, he’s going to be my point character but, I’m not 100% sure who I’m going to use as my projectile and anti-air assists yet, I will figure that out over time as I learn more about the basics of how a fight works in MVC2
Legit this is such a good way of putting it. Like you don’t need to bother with crazy high level stuff unless you’re trying for evo this is great for people who just wanna play characters they like, see them do cool shit and not have a miserable time.
I normally try to avoid learning from the pros because they often talk over your head and use terminology that's not noobie-friendly. But this was an excellent explanation on the basics of MvC2 by Max.
Max this is super helpful coming from street fighter and feeling like if I can’t do magneto infinites I can’t play the game. Having fun just doing sentinel drones while blaster with cable, and sent flying kick above peoples heads.
Thank you Max. I love seeing the characters do cool shit on the screen but was overwhelmed when I got into my first match. This video is exactly what I was looking for.
This is so true just started playing at work on breaks with my buddie on switch and not knowing anything especially about assist until recent you can do so much things it’s insane you’re damage and being able to open up more playability is insane
Old heads eating with all these fighting games. We’re boutta look back at this time and be amazed by how good of a year it was for fighters. With that said,I’m loving putting all these new players in the blender. NEVER STOPPED PLAYING
Gonna say that as a Guilty Gear player jumping into this for the first time, I cannot stress just how important assist characters are. I only began to realise it after getting my ass handed to me over and over by Captain Commando and Cyclops. It was so natural for me to want to get in close and do unga bunga combos but I couldn't figure out how. It was only when I started to use assists more and throw out big supers like Cable's HVB, or Doom's Photons that I managed to get my first wins.
I've been playing this for 20 years, but to give u some advice on Cable, you should go into training mode and set it to infinite meter. So what you'll practice is tiger knee-ing the HVB. I can loop it like 3-4 times. Just know, you'll need to do it quicker each rep due to hit stun deterioration (too many hits).
Thanks Max! As someone who played in my late childhood/early teen years, I totally forgot how to play this damn game. I'll take your tips in my gameplay going forward
I just picked it up. Never played it. So excited for more MvC2 content! It’s awesome so far but so complicated compared to MK. Having fun with it though.
I hear what Max is saying for MvC1 with synergy, but that's not entirely true. It's there, but it's that one mechanic where both of your characters are on the screen, and it's kind of the reason I want to play that game so much. As great as MvC2 is, because of that mechanic in MvC1 I want to play it over MvC2 at the moment. As a training mode monster I feel like there is so much unexplored. Justin played against some top Ryu/Morrigan player a while back, and that guy was the reason I want to get my hands on MvC1 so much. Great video though. Pushing assist and another button together took a long time for me to wrap my head around back in MvC3. I wish someone back then would've like, "dawg, just do ex's like you're playing street fighter" 😅😂
This changed me a lot bc I kept trying to play mvc2 like Umvc3 after going back on fightcade lol. I’ve played mvc2 for a long time and never knew this stuff or never got taught at local arcades
Ive never played this game until now. I’ve just been beefing it out in Arcade, I don’t have a desire to play online except against my friends. So far Thanos is my guy. Ken is my dedicated assist because I saw he was used in low tier tourneys for that reason. 2nd slot is just someone I wanna try.
Just noticed that Cables cyber arm is always facing away from the audience. If he’s on the left side of the screen, his cyber arm is on the left side but if he’s on the right side then he has a right cyber arm…..it seems the devs just simply flipped/mirrored this model
Yeah, that's literally how almost every single sprite-based 2D fighter has ever worked, simply due to memory limitations. The only 2D fighter to really give any character proper sprite work for each side of the screen was Street Fighter III with Gill, which was precisely done to showcase how the CPS-III could do that, but even for him it was literally just swapping the two colors his body was made up of & giving him accompanying elemental effects (fire or ice) to match.
Is this your first time seeing sprite based graphics? It’s not a model it’s a hand drawn sprite. They weren’t going to draw every frame of animation facing left and right.
The first thing I'm going to do when I get my hands on this collection in November is go into Training Mode for MVC2 and attempt to do _that_ infinite combo. You know the one.
I went into this game with a DBFZ mind set and thought i had to be missing something when it seemed like i could only get like 4-hit combos and my assists weren't comboing at all lol. This video made me understand why i was so trash
I played this and was in 1st grade on the ps2. I am now playing this hoping to actually learn the mechanics. This will take a lot of time but I’m excited to learn
" press button with the assist " trust me you just changed my all perspective right now xD ! i didn't know what and was wondering why the combo was failing OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This changed me a lot bc I kept trying to play mvc2 like Umvc3 after going back on fightcade lol. I’ve played mvc2 for a long time and never knew this stuff or never got taught at local arcades
tl;dr
Pick good assists
Hold down back
Break your assist buttons
Dumb team synergies is the way to go when having fun in Mvc2
Ive never played this game until now. I’ve just been beefing it out in Arcade, I don’t have a desire to play online except against my friends.
So far Thanos is my guy. Ken is my dedicated assist because I saw he was used in low tier tourneys for that reason.
2nd slot is just someone I wanna try.
Equaly balanced as all things should be
Just in time, I just know how to do the f*cking infinite. XD
Probably played this on the ps2 once or twice but it really makes me feel like a kid playing it now
Just noticed that Cables cyber arm is always facing away from the audience. If he’s on the left side of the screen, his cyber arm is on the left side but if he’s on the right side then he has a right cyber arm…..it seems the devs just simply flipped/mirrored this model
Yeah, that's literally how almost every single sprite-based 2D fighter has ever worked, simply due to memory limitations. The only 2D fighter to really give any character proper sprite work for each side of the screen was Street Fighter III with Gill, which was precisely done to showcase how the CPS-III could do that, but even for him it was literally just swapping the two colors his body was made up of & giving him accompanying elemental effects (fire or ice) to match.
Is this your first time seeing sprite based graphics? It’s not a model it’s a hand drawn sprite. They weren’t going to draw every frame of animation facing left and right.
This is an extremely helpful video. It’s hard to know where to start with this game
The first thing I'm going to do when I get my hands on this collection in November is go into Training Mode for MVC2 and attempt to do _that_ infinite combo.
You know the one.
Max: "ok, this is how you can get good at the game"
Justin: "nice, fresh meat"
I went into this game with a DBFZ mind set and thought i had to be missing something when it seemed like i could only get like 4-hit combos and my assists weren't comboing at all lol. This video made me understand why i was so trash
What a time to be alive
Wow tbh i thought combos were pretty much almost all there was to these types of games. im glad you cleared that up for me
We need a "Max Training Mode", where Max narrates the training and the guides.
I played this and was in 1st grade on the ps2. I am now playing this hoping to actually learn the mechanics. This will take a lot of time but I’m excited to learn
MVC2 has an AMAZING soundtrack. Don't change my mind.
