Corrections: 1. at 2:37 I say that alpha counters are done with QCF + A1 or A2 but the actual stick motion needed is back, back/down, down + A1 or A2 2. at 7:25 I say that hard knock downs can't be OTG'd, however they can be, so long as the hard knock down isn't a long enough distance to where the camera adjustment doesn't force your character to come out from the side of the screen. ------ Oops, the Tiger Knee section ended up being longer than expected. I just kept finding more and more things to say about it. Almost turned this video into a Cable guide 😅😂. Sorry not sorry! Let me know what else I should cover in future videos. :)
@@Henrynerdcore I want super long cables. long cables are more and more rare lol. I know that's not what you meant, but why is every charging cable I get less than 2 ft long
If you have a PC or laptop, you can install the emulator NullDC and start practicing right now, no need to wait for the release 🙂 I have a fairly recent video on how to install and set up the emulator if you're interested!
Coming from 3rd strike and super turbo, a game like this is genuinely sensory overload. Watching this makes me want to actually sit down and learn mvc2, so thank you a lot
Sup, haus! I made this video for exactly this reason, to help beginners and to encourage newcomers to pick it up. So glad it's serving its purpose :). You're very welcome, I wish you good luck in learning the game if you decide to do so!
Came here after the announcement of the new Marvel VS collection. Thank you for such an excellent primer on the mechanics of the game. Hopefully you get a ton of views with the game being released again.
Aside from teaching new players, my secondary reason for making this was in the hopes of curing depression. Great success!! Lol, thank you for your support. 🙏😁
Awesome vid. For many years i always wondered how to play this game the way it was intended. I was like damn theres no vids for beginners. After watching this you have single handedly given hope to many casuals like myself. Really helpful gets a thumbs up 👍 also explained really well so its easy to understand
Hey Minzy! That's really awesome, I'm glad to hear that my video has done that for you! Really appreciate you watching and the king words. I wish you good luck in learning the game!
@@rubenmartinez6541 Hey i dont think so, but im sure it will be easy to find groups who are willing to play by the ruleset(i know thats what my friends and discord ppl are gonna do). That would be amazing if they did a ratio'd ranked mode though!
yo this video is sick. I've been playing this game forever, but like always thought everything was way too daunting to truly get into. The way you break everything down and show it in practice is fantastic. Thank you so much!
Yo, tfrigg! Glad you like the video and happy to hear that it makes the game a little easier to learn. Your kind words are appreciated. Good luck on your journey! 🙏
This is a great video man. I have been wanting to play MvC2 for a long time but the game is so crazy I really can't just figure stuff by myself like with other games, all of this was really helpful!
What up Raghu! I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad that the video helped. I def understand where you're coming from, which is why I made the video :). Thanks for watching and commenting!
Finally a beginner guide that sums up all this things! Can't wait to actual commit some time into MvC2 with some knowledge! A lot of old resources got lost and now approaching this legendary title make feel clueless about a lot of stuff... Awesome gift for all of us, man! As humble suggestion: it would be terrific if you could give us some general insight for the most used characters in short vids (like their general gameplan and their basic BnB). Same goes for some explanation about the most (in)famous teams: e.g. I do know the MSS, MSP, CSS composition used in the tournaments, but I never understood the theory behind them and how they should be played! All the best and I'm glad you wanna take us for a ride!
Hey Jacopo! Glad I could provide a resource to help you out with this timeless classic. The game is a LOT to take in, so my goal was to make it easy for beginner's and appealing to people that may want to give the game a go. So it always makes me happy to hear that it's serving its purpose. :) And those are also great suggestions! I'll try to brainstorm some ways to incorporate shorts in a meaningful and concise way for character game plans and BnBs. I also like your idea about diving into established teams and their play styles. Strengths and weaknesses, etc. I'll put that on the list as well!
@@FilthGnasty seriously a once and a lifetime find. The store knew it was worth some coin but still a better price than ebay. Since watchin this video Defense and air combos are my sticking points.
Played it for the first time last Thursday at an arcade, and it was super fun, but also super eye opening that I have no clue how the game works. I unfortunately don’t have a console to play it on, and I couldn’t find an emulator that works for it, so for the time being, this video’s gonna be the only way for me to improve before I try the arcade again.
Welcome to the game! It's super fun and definitely worth learning. The emulators that the community use are Fightcade (good for easy online play but doesn't have training mode) and NullDC BEAR (also does online play but it's recommended that you play someone in your same coast, and it has training mode) I have a guide on how to install NullDC here!: ruclips.net/video/2Fdk1m_VP08/видео.html
This video is awesome. Very informative and you covered and explained things very well. I played this game on and of over the years on ps2 and dreamcast but never really understanded the mechanics properly. Im actually getting the arcade 1up machine ymthis week so thought id brush up and learn what i dindnt know and found your vid, so thank you.
Yo that's dope! And I appreciate the kind words, glad you found my video helpful. Not sure if you heard the news, but MvC2 is being re-released on modern platforms in the new Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics. You could save a few hundred bucks waiting for the collection over a 1up cab 😌
Great guide. Was thinking about picking up Marvel 2 when the collection drops with some friends. Going to send this around. Hope you do some more obscure character guides too!
yo Dustin! you definitely won't regret getting into this game, it's the best. and i appreciate you sharing this with your peeps. i do mostly focus on top tier characters bc that's what i enjoy playing most, but if i can find some good stuff to cover that involve the rest of the cast, i'll definitely do it!
Hell yeah, this is exactly what I was looking for. I love this game although I was never any good at it. I just pre-ordered the Arcade1Up cabinet so I want to try to get better before I play online.
1:37 THANK YOU! OMFG. You know how annoying it is not knowing how to do the hyper combos at the arcade? It's so frustrating. Can't wait to try the air combos and the 3rd hidden combo like Spiderman's wall attack.
Thank you! MvC2 is the GOAT. Just in case you didn't know, you can also play this on the emulators Fightcade or NullDC on a desktop/laptop! (if you wanted to get off of PS2)
Finally a beginners guide🎉 I play Tekken 7 25 hours a week and have had interest for 2D games and especially mvc2 and 3rd Strike but i haven't had enough motivation to play mvc2 without a beginners guide.
Oh nice! Glad to know that my video motivates you to start up the game. We need all the new players we can get to keep this game alive. Good luck with learning!
Found an arcade machine in my area had no clue how to play it beyond streetfighter moves so this is just what I need. Thank you. 🙌 but after watching for the video, I realize this is way too complicated for me at my advanced age but I appreciate that this continent exists.
If you install the emulator NullDC BEAR, you can practice on a computer for free if you have one! I have a guide on how to set up MvC2 on NullDC here, if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/2Fdk1m_VP08/видео.htmlsi=G682s3-B2fox4wpx And I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!
Yo, thanks for noticing! The collection announcement really helped out lol, so I'm grateful for that. If you're into fighting games and give this one an honest effort, I think you won't regret it. It's the best one. :)
Hey, glad you like the video! Unfortunately I don't consider myself to be super good with a lot of characters, so that probably wouldn't happen any time soon. But I'll put it in the list of possible RUclips videos to make in the future!
I wish I knew more people like you who followed their dreams, and then put themselves out there to help others follow those dreams as well. You are a king and an inspiration to us all. Ty for living your life on this earth.
Hey Stephan! I appreciate the kind words! I do want to make more tuts/guides, but they can be a bit of work and I struggle to get motivation to finish my projects lol. I do have one video in the works right now, so hopefully I can get my ass into gear and push out some more informative content soon!
My friends and I have played the Xbox 360 version for years. I never owned the game or got good at it when it was in the arcade, so they’ve always been better than me. This guide will help to change that.
Sick video. A advanced "throw" mechanic tutorial would be sick. eg. Amingo airthrow in corner or the classic Charlie air back breaker into OTG. Even Shuma into airgrab. I am very inconstant with this. But so many video, people throw successful all the time in crazy situations were I can't even comprehend how it's possible. Can't find a advanced throwing guide anywhere.
Appreciate the compliment, Jaime! Unfortunately I don't really play with low/mid tier characters, but I'll def throw this suggestion in the idea bin and maybe I can make a video about it in the future!
the input for alpha counter is just quarter circle from back to down (not even half circle from back to forward, because quarter circle forward doesnt work), and flying screen's 'hard' knockdowns can actually be OTGd from, just in very specific cases where your character's moves can actually hit the opponent, like when youre in the corner (or OTGing off of jin's blodia punch super midscreen with crouch LK or dynamite, or shuma setups that trigger flying screen lower than usual and let him land and follow up due to jHPs extended knockdown) but great video regardless! its really tricky getting a consistent source of this games intricacies to give to people just starting out because theres just so much
Hey Waffles. Yeah, I've had a couple people point that out about the alpha counter input. I got my information directly from the MvC2 wiki, so I went with that. And I didn't know any better because I always do QCF and it still comes out lol. And you're also right about OTGing hard knockdowns. I forgot to mention that you can't OTG hard knockdowns that specifically have flying screen! I appreciate the feedback and the compliment. Thanks for watching!
nice guide thank you I got a xbox 360 a few weeks ago and it let me re-download all my games from years back including sf3 online edition and mvc2 time to study :D
What up Miguelit0! I'm the opposite. MvC2 was my first MvC game, and when I played MvC3 and realized medium attack had it's own button, I wasn't a huge fan lol. But I'm sure that if you played enough, you'd get used to it and wouldn't mind it! :)
I have no idea what you're talking about in like 99% of this video, but it makes you happy and you seem to be explaining it well. Plus you're a friggin beast at this so that's cool too. Anyways, I hope this dank guide helps some folks who are interested in the FGC to learn more about MVC2 and gives them the tools to whoop some tush at it
@@cw32587 ok that's what I thought was happening ty 🤴 I hope you learn something. I feel like some stuff is basic enough but some stuff might be too advanced lol
Hey Brandon! I got some ideas for more videos, just gotta get my lazy butt to record them lol. Hopefully I can provide more instructional/tutorial content soon! Appreciate you watching!
Yo, what up! Do you mean if only you had a copy of the game? If so, 2 popular emulators you can use to play online are Fightcade (best for online play) and NullDC BEAR (best for training mode). You can also play on modded PS3s but that's that's a whole ordeal you probably don't wanna deal with lol. Oh, and I appreciate the kind words! Hope you can get up and running in one way or another soon!
There IS strategy in the snap like you said, but to me it's just cool. My only strategic use of the snap is to get to the healing characters like Jill, Amiga and Rogue. Best 3-man combo is Cable, Cyclops, and Sentinel. BUT, my favorite back-to-back combo is Akuma's flame uppercut, then Jin's mecha guns, then Cap Commando's projectile. The viduals alone are a payoff!
My suggestion would be to learn top tiers (Magneto, Storm, Sentinel, Iron Man, Cable) if you're actually trying to win a lot. But if you're just trying to have fun and be mostly casual, then have at it with the rest of the cast. But whichever you choose, definitely hit up that training mode!
@@Mario_MartinezF no problem dude! Btw, if you have a PC or laptop, you can install the emulator NullDC and jump into training mode right now if you really wanted. No need to wait. If you're interested, I have a video on my channel that shows how to install and set up NullDC 🫡
@Filth Gnasty this is awesome I want to get into this game now that the MVC Collection is coming out for switch and I may have to buy me an arcade stick for Nintendo Switch. I normally wouldn’t bother but, I think for this game I may have to break down and buy one as I think just a normal pro controller will be too awkward to play this game on
Get the fight stick, you won't regret it! It's a bit of a learning curve but I think it's the best way to play. Practice daily and you'll get used to it no time.
I bought a Handheld console that can run Dreamcast game and I have this game but I don't know how to play so I came here to learn! hopefully I can learn and become a good fighter
Hey Perceptivision! Honestly, I'm not from the arcade era myself, and I barely started using a fight stick a year and one month ago, so I'm not sure that I'd be the best person to give advice on best practices for fightstick usage. However, what I will say is that - ultimately, it's best to do whatever feels most natural and comfortable to you. And if you ever feel like your execution is impacted because of something you might be doing wrong in terms of hand placement/pressing buttons with certain fingers, it doesn't hurt to ask specific questions to other more experienced players regarding how they press buttons and do stick motions. This is a good video idea though, and I will keep it in mind for the future! Appreciate you watching and commenting. :)
This video has kinda helped me cure my struggle. Because the arcade I play at has the Japanese version. So I didn’t know how to switch characters. Had a hard time
@@FilthGnasty do you have more on the first marvel vs street fighter game on how to switch? And to switch characters it is lp lk for first one, and hp hk for second one? Just wanna get this right, my gf was watching me play and all of a sudden I was trash cause I forgot how to switch😂
What are the inputs for SHCs? Do you start your super, tag in your next character and do the input for thier super? I’m having a lot of trouble with this mechanic!
Hey Dopey! I believe you mean DHC. If so, the steps are: start the super with your point character, and during the super, input half circle forward and both kick or punch buttons OR half circle backward and both kick or punch buttons. As an example: with storm, do QCB and both kick buttons to Hail Storm. During her super, press HCF and both kick buttons to DHC into Sentinel's Hyper Sentinel Force. If I instead you do HCF and both punch buttons, you would DHC into Sentinel doing the Plasma Storm (bubble super). Let me know if that helps!
Thanks for the kind words! The magic series is essentially (on ground and in air) LP LK LP LK and then either HP or HK for the final hit. This is true for a large portion of the cast. Some characters don't have this exact combo, so you have to experiment with them a bit. One thing I will say is that the magic series is hardly ever used by experienced players because it's not optimal damage and there are other combos that set up for continued pressure, etc. So practicing magic series is good for practice, but you'll eventually start learning new, better stuff. :)
@@FilthGnasty Thanks so much for the response. Loved playing MVC back in the day but never really mastered a lot of combos. Gonna try your suggestions. Keep up the great work! New sub here.
Do you think you can do a guide on Marvel Vs Capcom 1? I just started playing on an arcade machine yesterday and I really want to get good for fightcade on pc!
Hey Chaos! Unfortunately I have never played MvC1, so I don't think I'd be the best person to make a beginner's guide on that game. 😥 But good luck on your journey, hope you find the info you need!
@@FilthGnasty Hey bro can u show us how to do all of the infinite combos with any characters that has it? Like Storm & even Wolverine? Ur video is freaking awesome man so, it’s so well made & put together. U can easily understand & get exactly what ur trying to say with the buttons being on screen as u speak so dope 👍👍👍💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏 Ty ty ty.
Yo, that's amazing! Glad you found it useful. I'll happily make more, just need to gather more subjects to cover. Feel free to leave some suggestions of other things you wanna learn. :)
Dang you're right. I guess it slipped my mind lol. Luckily, I think someone could get very far in this game without actually knowing the magic series because tbh I hardly use it. There's other, more optimal combos to do. Appreciate the call out tho and thanks for watching!
Yo what up Surreal! This information here is still very relevant but yeah, maybe I can make something more up to date. Especially because this recording sucks and I've gotten a lot better with my camera lol.
Yeah I definitely got carried away on the Tiger Knee motion part. It was just supposed to explain the tiger knee and then it turned into that lol. Would've been better to keep that portion short and make a separate "How to play Cable 101" video for sure
Haha, I appreciate the sentiment! I'd say it's mostly because I lack content and am not consistent enough on RUclips, but I'm trying to get better at that. Thanks for the sub, stay tuned for more MvC2 tutorials/guides coming soon! :)
What's up dude. Sorry if I'm going too fast to follow along. I tried to go slow, showed the onscreen inputs and explained everything as best as I could. But also, this is a guide not a tutorial.
Hey Esmond! Thanks for watching and you're very welcome! Always cool to see new people wanting to learn this timeless classic. Good luck on your journey!
@@FilthGnasty I think a good video to make would be about movement. If you don't know how to move your character around the screen, you'll never be good at this game.
For the wave dash, maybe practice doing it slow first. Make sure you're pressing down at the right time and make sure you're pressing both punch buttons at the same time. For the TK motion, make sure you're ending the motion with up forward. Also try doing it on both sides. I'm better at doing it on the left side than on the right side. It'll take some time to get used to the motion.
Cool video. But I feel you over-estimate beginners :) There is a ton of info and tech even is rhis vid that makes it quite overwhelming. Would be cool with the new collection coming out to split this vid and go over things even more slowly. With more examples on multiple characters for the basics. What kind od things to pay attention to. And like good ways to practice to get the hang of it. Keep up the good work.
Yo what up jpee! I appreciate the feedback. Luckily the vast majority of comments on this video seem to be alright with the information shared however there are a handful that have shared similar sentiment as you. I'll keep this in mind when making more content aimed at beginners, ty!
@@FilthGnasty thanks for the reply. I'm probably just old :) The info is all there. For me I'd have to pause and practise to get it all landed. Which is in essence also fine. I can also get that by going even more slow or in depth on the basics that a lot of viewers might find that too slow and dragging the vid. I'll be on the lookout if you have any new vids.
Gcon got that good info for sure! And thanks for the kind words dude!! Yeah, I'm on Fightcade under the username Filth Gnasty. Feel free to challenge me if you ever see me on! What's your username?
@@FilthGnasty same. RochX7. When do you normally hop on? Your tutorial and gcons helped me get back into mahvel 2 after a decade long hiatus. But Christ there's a lot of blackhearts and laming out on FC.
@@RochX-7 honestly I get on at pretty random times, but I'm always on looking for people to fight when I'm streaming. Challenge me if you see me. I'll look for you when I'm on, too!
Corrections:
1. at 2:37 I say that alpha counters are done with QCF + A1 or A2 but the actual stick motion needed is back, back/down, down + A1 or A2
2. at 7:25 I say that hard knock downs can't be OTG'd, however they can be, so long as the hard knock down isn't a long enough distance to where the camera adjustment doesn't force your character to come out from the side of the screen.

Yo, thanks for noticing! The collection announcement really helped out lol, so I'm grateful for that. If you're into fighting games and give this one an honest effort, I think you won't regret it. It's the best one. :)
Love the video! I’ve been looking for something like this for a good min. Would you ever consider doing character tutorials for MvC2??
Hey, glad you like the video! Unfortunately I don't consider myself to be super good with a lot of characters, so that probably wouldn't happen any time soon. But I'll put it in the list of possible RUclips videos to make in the future!
I wish I knew more people like you who followed their dreams, and then put themselves out there to help others follow those dreams as well. You are a king and an inspiration to us all. Ty for living your life on this earth.
Lol this is very kind of you to say Joe, thank you king!!!! You're a good friend and your bones are very strong.
Thank you for providing this video, I never took this game seriously but it has a serious fun factor. Also these games need to grow audiences
You're welcome! Definitely has a serious fun factor. :)
Happy i found this before MVC collections is out
I'll be pushing out more content in preparation for the release so definitely sub for more 🙂
I'm trynna learn so I won't get washed in this
Lol, getting washed is inevitable. But at least this video will help you get washed a little less often 😂
very good video man! thanks a lot
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Great video ty for the tips
That means a lot coming from you, Ruin, thanks! And don't act like didn't already know all the tips I gave lol!
Thank for this video awesome job at the explanation on things! And second Will you be doing more tutorials?
Hey Stephan! I appreciate the kind words! I do want to make more tuts/guides, but they can be a bit of work and I struggle to get motivation to finish my projects lol. I do have one video in the works right now, so hopefully I can get my ass into gear and push out some more informative content soon!
My friends and I have played the Xbox 360 version for years. I never owned the game or got good at it when it was in the arcade, so they’ve always been better than me.
This guide will help to change that.
hehehe, they're in for a surprise! good luck learning the game, i'll have more content for you soon :)
This was Awesome, Thank you.
Yo, glad you liked it! Appreciate you and thanks for watching 😁
@@FilthGnasty I appreciate you.
Sick video. A advanced "throw" mechanic tutorial would be sick. eg. Amingo airthrow in corner or the classic Charlie air back breaker into OTG. Even Shuma into airgrab. I am very inconstant with this. But so many video, people throw successful all the time in crazy situations were I can't even comprehend how it's possible. Can't find a advanced throwing guide anywhere.
Appreciate the compliment, Jaime! Unfortunately I don't really play with low/mid tier characters, but I'll def throw this suggestion in the idea bin and maybe I can make a video about it in the future!
Amazing video. Thanks
Appreciate you, buddy. Thanks for watching!
the input for alpha counter is just quarter circle from back to down (not even half circle from back to forward, because quarter circle forward doesnt work), and flying screen's 'hard' knockdowns can actually be OTGd from, just in very specific cases where your character's moves can actually hit the opponent, like when youre in the corner (or OTGing off of jin's blodia punch super midscreen with crouch LK or dynamite, or shuma setups that trigger flying screen lower than usual and let him land and follow up due to jHPs extended knockdown) but great video regardless! its really tricky getting a consistent source of this games intricacies to give to people just starting out because theres just so much
Hey Waffles. Yeah, I've had a couple people point that out about the alpha counter input. I got my information directly from the MvC2 wiki, so I went with that. And I didn't know any better because I always do QCF and it still comes out lol.
And you're also right about OTGing hard knockdowns. I forgot to mention that you can't OTG hard knockdowns that specifically have flying screen!
I appreciate the feedback and the compliment. Thanks for watching!
Knowing that the community as a whole calls em supers and not just me is great we all thought the same thing
Thanks for the vid. I just got an Arcade 1 Up MvC2 can. I never played any of the Marvel games besides 3 before.
Yo, you're welcome! Thanks for watching, hope the video helps you out. Good luck with learning the game, it's quite a grind! :)
So hyped to play this game again
same! i've been playing this whole time but man i've been wishing so bad for a rerelease on modern platforms. so happy that it's finally happening
nice guide thank you I got a xbox 360 a few weeks ago and it let me re-download all my games from years back including sf3 online edition and mvc2 time to study :D
Nice dude. Not sure if you heard, but MvC2 is finally getting rereleased this year. So you'll be able to get it on modern platforms!
@@FilthGnasty sure have! this is whats got me hype and watching your video time to learn :)
Now finally coming to consoles and pc this year! I’m getting myself ready!
I truly believed that the day would ever come. Super pumped for the rerelease 🙌
Best of luck with your practice!
I wish MVC2 had a real medium attack, I like mvc1 because it has a mid attack not attached to L. But because of that, that makes all 4 games unique.
What up Miguelit0! I'm the opposite. MvC2 was my first MvC game, and when I played MvC3 and realized medium attack had it's own button, I wasn't a huge fan lol. But I'm sure that if you played enough, you'd get used to it and wouldn't mind it! :)
This is helpful, I didn't know about Alpha counters here. I wanted to know how to play this game too.
Happy to help! I have other guides on this game as well, just check on my channel. :)
Thank you for the great guide ! Just starting to play this awesome game !
You're welcome! Hope you end up loving the game as much as I do. :)
Alas Filth Gnasty did a good job putting this up after all this waiting.
Hey pointlesskid, I appreciate that! Thanks for watching, hope this info comes in handy 🙂
I have no idea what you're talking about in like 99% of this video, but it makes you happy and you seem to be explaining it well. Plus you're a friggin beast at this so that's cool too. Anyways, I hope this dank guide helps some folks who are interested in the FGC to learn more about MVC2 and gives them the tools to whoop some tush at it
Lol thanks for watching even though you don't play! And I of course appreciate the kind words, big bongo. Youdabes 💚
WOW
Nice try buddy but the video just came out 10 minutes ago and it's 17 minutes long 😂😂😭🤫🤭😘
No but really thanks for being so fast king you're always so supportive. I have you a little shout-out I'm the description please don't look
@@FilthGnasty i was WOWing its existence. i am watching the ENTIRE video EVERY DAY for the rest of my life until i d*e
@@cw32587 ok that's what I thought was happening ty 🤴 I hope you learn something. I feel like some stuff is basic enough but some stuff might be too advanced lol
Please make more vids I really love this game and would like to learn the ins/outs of this game
Hey Brandon! I got some ideas for more videos, just gotta get my lazy butt to record them lol. Hopefully I can provide more instructional/tutorial content soon! Appreciate you watching!
This video is super helpful and understandable for this game.
IF ONLY I HAD ONE
Yo, what up! Do you mean if only you had a copy of the game? If so, 2 popular emulators you can use to play online are Fightcade (best for online play) and NullDC BEAR (best for training mode). You can also play on modded PS3s but that's that's a whole ordeal you probably don't wanna deal with lol. Oh, and I appreciate the kind words! Hope you can get up and running in one way or another soon!
@@FilthGnasty awesome thank you
@@musousan3243 np! 👍🙏
Even though I know this I needed a brush up really appreciate the content. Totally subbed
Glad you found it useful! Appreciate the sub. 🙂🙏
There IS strategy in the snap like you said, but to me it's just cool. My only strategic use of the snap is to get to the healing characters like Jill, Amiga and Rogue.
Best 3-man combo is Cable, Cyclops, and Sentinel. BUT, my favorite back-to-back combo is Akuma's flame uppercut, then Jin's mecha guns, then Cap Commando's projectile. The viduals alone are a payoff!
Man I’m
So old we played this in the arcade lol , I love this game
Not old, just well seasoned! Appreciate you watching! :)
Never played these, but man the hype for the new release is really contagious hahahah, I'll be there day one, ready to get my ass kicked as a noob
My suggestion would be to learn top tiers (Magneto, Storm, Sentinel, Iron Man, Cable) if you're actually trying to win a lot. But if you're just trying to have fun and be mostly casual, then have at it with the rest of the cast. But whichever you choose, definitely hit up that training mode!
@@FilthGnasty thanks for the advice my dude! I'll be on the lookout for your guides if you do more in the near future, can't wait for the game!
@@Mario_MartinezF no problem dude! Btw, if you have a PC or laptop, you can install the emulator NullDC and jump into training mode right now if you really wanted. No need to wait. If you're interested, I have a video on my channel that shows how to install and set up NullDC 🫡
@@FilthGnasty perfect! I'll check it out, thank you so much bro! 👊🏼
@@Mario_MartinezF yessir, you're welcome dawggy
@Filth Gnasty this is awesome I want to get into this game now that the MVC Collection is coming out for switch and I may have to buy me an arcade stick for Nintendo Switch.
I normally wouldn’t bother but, I think for this game I may have to break down and buy one as I think just a normal pro controller will be too awkward to play this game on
Get the fight stick, you won't regret it! It's a bit of a learning curve but I think it's the best way to play. Practice daily and you'll get used to it no time.
This video is very high quality buddy, great job #mvc2isgoat
I appreciate you saying that man, thank you! 🤝💯
I bought a Handheld console that can run Dreamcast game and I have this game but I don't know how to play so I came here to learn! hopefully I can learn and become a good fighter
Hey Joel! Awesome to hear that you're picking up the game. I hope that my guides can help you level up faster!
can you do a video explaining how to use an arcade stick im from the generation who didnt go to the arcade
Hey Perceptivision! Honestly, I'm not from the arcade era myself, and I barely started using a fight stick a year and one month ago, so I'm not sure that I'd be the best person to give advice on best practices for fightstick usage. However, what I will say is that - ultimately, it's best to do whatever feels most natural and comfortable to you. And if you ever feel like your execution is impacted because of something you might be doing wrong in terms of hand placement/pressing buttons with certain fingers, it doesn't hurt to ask specific questions to other more experienced players regarding how they press buttons and do stick motions.
This is a good video idea though, and I will keep it in mind for the future! Appreciate you watching and commenting. :)
I recently started getting into this game again. This and marvel vs street fighter at the arcade were the best.
This video has kinda helped me cure my struggle. Because the arcade I play at has the Japanese version. So I didn’t know how to switch characters. Had a hard time
@@JosexNieves this game is the best! Glad to hear that my video helped :). Appreciate you watching!
@@FilthGnasty do you have more on the first marvel vs street fighter game on how to switch? And to switch characters it is lp lk for first one, and hp hk for second one? Just wanna get this right, my gf was watching me play and all of a sudden I was trash cause I forgot how to switch😂
great vid and sick shirt
Ayo, appreciate it! Shirt is from Tilly's 🫡
What are the inputs for SHCs? Do you start your super, tag in your next character and do the input for thier super? I’m having a lot of trouble with this mechanic!
Hey Dopey! I believe you mean DHC. If so, the steps are: start the super with your point character, and during the super, input half circle forward and both kick or punch buttons OR half circle backward and both kick or punch buttons.
As an example: with storm, do QCB and both kick buttons to Hail Storm. During her super, press HCF and both kick buttons to DHC into Sentinel's Hyper Sentinel Force. If I instead you do HCF and both punch buttons, you would DHC into Sentinel doing the Plasma Storm (bubble super). Let me know if that helps!
rad video
Thank you, glad you liked it! 🙏
this is god like man
Yo, thanks dude! Glad you think so, that means a lot. :)
Thanks
You're welcome!
Bro your shirt is fire, where did you get it?
Yo, thanks! I'm pretty sure I got my shirt at Tillys
good video 👍
Glad you liked it, thank you!
Great video! I appreciate the work you put into this. Any chance of a video talking about the magic series? Would love to learn some combos.
Thanks for the kind words! The magic series is essentially (on ground and in air) LP LK LP LK and then either HP or HK for the final hit. This is true for a large portion of the cast. Some characters don't have this exact combo, so you have to experiment with them a bit.
One thing I will say is that the magic series is hardly ever used by experienced players because it's not optimal damage and there are other combos that set up for continued pressure, etc. So practicing magic series is good for practice, but you'll eventually start learning new, better stuff. :)
@@FilthGnasty Thanks so much for the response. Loved playing MVC back in the day but never really mastered a lot of combos. Gonna try your suggestions. Keep up the great work! New sub here.
Do you think you can do a guide on Marvel Vs Capcom 1? I just started playing on an arcade machine yesterday and I really want to get good for fightcade on pc!
Hey Chaos! Unfortunately I have never played MvC1, so I don't think I'd be the best person to make a beginner's guide on that game. 😥
But good luck on your journey, hope you find the info you need!
@@FilthGnasty thanks man! I’ll prob do a video guide on my own! Keep up the good work with the content!
I don’t know who this RUclipsr is, but I think he’s ready for battle of the strongest 🙌
Hahaha I'd get mopped, but it'd still be fun!
Really awesome basics video bro!! Keep it up!!!
Oh shit, thanks dude! Didn't expect someone as advanced as you to come through and check it out lol. Appreciate the feedback my dude. 👊💪
@@FilthGnasty Gotta support anything marvel, babyyyyyy!!! Good shit tho seriously and the editing is awesome!
@@MADDROO yoooo I made the whole video myself so that means a lot! Appreciate you 💚
@@FilthGnasty keep it up broski!! I hope to see more!!!
@@FilthGnasty Hey bro can u show us how to do all of the infinite combos with any characters that has it? Like Storm & even Wolverine? Ur video is freaking awesome man so, it’s so well made & put together. U can easily understand & get exactly what ur trying to say with the buttons being on screen as u speak so dope 👍👍👍💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏 Ty ty ty.
This video hella relevent this year ❤🔥
Facts! I'll be making more stuff really soon, I figure nows the time to do it. Check back later 🙂
😎
This is fantastic, probably the best MvC2 guide I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a LOT. Immediately subbing, please continue these!!!
Yo, that's amazing! Glad you found it useful. I'll happily make more, just need to gather more subjects to cover. Feel free to leave some suggestions of other things you wanna learn. :)
Hey how did you get those alternate colors? They look sick
What up AG. I was playing on the emulator called NullDC BEAR and playing a modded ROM on there!
@@FilthGnasty Thank you!
suprised you didnt mention the magic series but good vid regardless
Dang you're right. I guess it slipped my mind lol. Luckily, I think someone could get very far in this game without actually knowing the magic series because tbh I hardly use it. There's other, more optimal combos to do. Appreciate the call out tho and thanks for watching!
Would you make update for the upcoming collection, if you dont mind me asking?
Yo what up Surreal! This information here is still very relevant but yeah, maybe I can make something more up to date. Especially because this recording sucks and I've gotten a lot better with my camera lol.
I feel like a good portion of this video is dedicated to explaining why cable is OP
Yeah I definitely got carried away on the Tiger Knee motion part. It was just supposed to explain the tiger knee and then it turned into that lol. Would've been better to keep that portion short and make a separate "How to play Cable 101" video for sure
appreciate so cool
Glad you like it, thanks for watching! 💙
HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE 1000 SUBS YET??
Haha, I appreciate the sentiment! I'd say it's mostly because I lack content and am not consistent enough on RUclips, but I'm trying to get better at that. Thanks for the sub, stay tuned for more MvC2 tutorials/guides coming soon! :)
you're creating monsters. 👍🏿
What up dude! Just tryna do my part 🙂. Appreciate you showing up to the streams!
Sick t-shirt!
Thank you! 🫡
Great TL;DR, keep this game alive!
Can't let this masterpiece die
Few parts were skip over actual inputs and just assume we can follow instantly.
What's up dude. Sorry if I'm going too fast to follow along. I tried to go slow, showed the onscreen inputs and explained everything as best as I could. But also, this is a guide not a tutorial.
@@FilthGnasty its chill, newer to game, starting to absorb it all at this point, just over whelming at first
Can you make a guide for who to play and who not to play? I would love to play some characters but i know like 90% of the roaster is just bad.
Yeah, I think that's worth talking about in a video. I'll add it to the list, thanks for the idea and thanks for watching!
Nice 👌 video
What up Deathneto! Appreciate it dude!
Nice Bro...
Thank you! :)
Thank you so much for this! With Arcade1Up revamping the community, I want to learn this game for the first time.
Hey Esmond! Thanks for watching and you're very welcome! Always cool to see new people wanting to learn this timeless classic. Good luck on your journey!
Nice stuff man. can you cover the tri jump in some way? because you need to learn that for magneto´s infinite for example. Thanks!!
Yeah, that sounds doable! I'll try and whip some Magneto stuff up. Thanks for the suggestion!
I already knew everything in this video. Problem is execution lol.
Better hit that training mode!
@@FilthGnasty I think a good video to make would be about movement. If you don't know how to move your character around the screen, you'll never be good at this game.
I agree, great suggestion. I'll throw that on my list of video ideas, thanks!
I can't get the wavedash or tk motion contantly anytips I keep getting lauch on wavedash
For the wave dash, maybe practice doing it slow first. Make sure you're pressing down at the right time and make sure you're pressing both punch buttons at the same time.
For the TK motion, make sure you're ending the motion with up forward. Also try doing it on both sides. I'm better at doing it on the left side than on the right side. It'll take some time to get used to the motion.
Cool video. But I feel you over-estimate beginners :)
There is a ton of info and tech even is rhis vid that makes it quite overwhelming. Would be cool with the new collection coming out to split this vid and go over things even more slowly. With more examples on multiple characters for the basics. What kind od things to pay attention to. And like good ways to practice to get the hang of it. Keep up the good work.
Yo what up jpee! I appreciate the feedback. Luckily the vast majority of comments on this video seem to be alright with the information shared however there are a handful that have shared similar sentiment as you. I'll keep this in mind when making more content aimed at beginners, ty!
@@FilthGnasty thanks for the reply. I'm probably just old :) The info is all there. For me I'd have to pause and practise to get it all landed. Which is in essence also fine. I can also get that by going even more slow or in depth on the basics that a lot of viewers might find that too slow and dragging the vid.
I'll be on the lookout if you have any new vids.
Can you do one for MVC3?
What up Justin! Man, I wish I could help out but I don't play MvC3. Sorry dude!
IT'S MAHVEL BABYYY!!
the GOAT
Love gcons vids. These are lit too. Good editing mate. Fightcade??
Gcon got that good info for sure! And thanks for the kind words dude!! Yeah, I'm on Fightcade under the username Filth Gnasty. Feel free to challenge me if you ever see me on! What's your username?
@@FilthGnasty same. RochX7. When do you normally hop on? Your tutorial and gcons helped me get back into mahvel 2 after a decade long hiatus.
But Christ there's a lot of blackhearts and laming out on FC.
@@RochX-7 honestly I get on at pretty random times, but I'm always on looking for people to fight when I'm streaming. Challenge me if you see me. I'll look for you when I'm on, too!
