I think the thing I really like about the MVC collection is how not only is this a digital museum basically, but also, it's pretty accessible. You an turn on and off the easy specials if you want to. You can customize what you want your layout to be, and you can see the different versions of the game. I was kinda shocked when I heard the announcer say Rockman instead of megaman. But apparently there's a setting for that too.

[@cyxceven]

Yup. Switching to the Japanese romset for all the games is a feature I wish they hadn't taken out of SF 30th after the first update. Still salty about that.

@@Bfkcjscbsnjc How about you stop complaining, and start improving at the game, instead?

My two main gripes right now are: 1. PC matchmaking is having issues. 2. The difficulty for single player doesn't appear to have been adjusted. Therefore, even if you're playing on a "normal" difficulty, the AI is fully in cheat mode. That means they'll block almost everything and essentially read your inputs.

[@mytime991]

They can be fixed in the future. SVC Chaos are fixing issues.

I share the same sentiment about the artwork of the Marvel vs. Capcom series. It is downright inspirational and made many of us artists.

[@forestskilbred9461]

As a guy who's really new to the games and learning them for the first time, other than a couple sessions on fightcade and the mvc2 demo back on ps3, this is so much more convenient to play than fightcade, has already made me a couple new friends online, gave me a great night playing through the punisher with my girlfriend, and will definitely be in my rotation for parties and lab sessions, which has not been true for the other fighting game collections I have. For people saying they're worried about player population, I surprisingly have been able to find games for every single game in the collection, and I play late hours on east coast, and you can vibe in literally any mode in any game while you wait for a match, it's sick. And you can queue for multiple games at a time if you're not picky like me! Get on this shit and go have fun getting your ass beat!

[@-TPLT]

Max talking about the hi-res scans of concept art struck a chord with me. I know it's not *required* for a game, but I adore when they have sketches or concept art from the deepest archives in good quality included with the game. It's endearing and really inspiring to see the art that makes these games. Especially being able to ZOOM in that far, something I spend a lot of time doing over gameplay sometimes. Crazy.

[@TheLumaInChroma]

Great comment 👌🏼

[@999Lucas]

The context of these games is they were made for coinop in majority, or total. There are glitches and infinites like you hear about, but the early days of pool room tournaments meant that these games were also kind of inconsistent if an operator didnt have the latest version. Having upscaled retail versions mean that they can do online and in person tournaments legitimately. No emulations, or hacks or weird cameras on CRTs, swapping kicks and boards, etc. I think its great, for mvc and also soon to be cvs.

[@KetsubanSolo]

TECHNICALLY all of these games are running on proprietary Capcom emulators, but man the emulation is really good.

I Don't usually buy games at launch anymore, but this one I made sure to do so.

I 100% agree with you about the games being included as the primary point for this collection. I've played MVC2 and X-Men COTA every now and then but pretty much everything else, I've never touched once. I was in a lobby with friends over discord and we just played casual matches of everything in this collection and it was a total blast! I was particularly surprised how much I dug MSH vs Street Fighter, the weird in between of X-Men vs SF and MVC1. To me, this is like getting 5 new games that I've never been able to play before and that is fantastic.

This is a dream come true. I hesitated buying the digital version because I have the physicals on preorder, and just dropped money on Astrobot, but I couldn't wait. Any potential buyers' remorse I might've had immediately disappeared when I started playing X-Men vs Street Fighter and MSH vs Street Fighter. It felt like a missing piece of my fighting game soul had finally been found. Thanks for beating the drum for us all these years.

And we don't have to unlock the roster in MvC2! When the arcade version first released it only had roughly half the cast selectable and each individual cabinet would slowly unlock characters as it was played! It was fun to see who got unlocked when you'd come back to the arcade a few days later! Also, the character colors had to be unlocked too! The bright gold boarders on each character icon on the character selection screen had to be unlocked indicating that the characters alt colors were available. The dreamcast version used a in game currency system to unlock characters and colors. Plus the Japanese version would only let you unlock certain characters by playing matches online which wasn't even available here in the US so there were several characters that you couldn't even unlock at all.

As someone who was too young to play fighting games seriously online when MvC2 was out on PS3 back in the day it feels really cool going into ranked on PC and seeing like all the people from that era still actively standing by this game and getting bodied online by a bunch of FGC oldheads. Part of the experience relearning a traditional 6 button fighter as someone who was too used to the simplified four button setup of UMvC3 for the last few years made it a lot of fun as well. I also finally get to play Punisher all the way through for the first time and it's genuinely one of Capcom's best beat-em ups and just one of the best brawlers I've ever played despite being hard as balls

[@10191927]

I’ll throw my two cents on this collection, these HD transfers of the games are immaculate, they look so good even on the OLED handheld, crisp looking and probably the closest we’ll ever come to arcade cabinet quality. Also who knows if we’ll ever see a collection like this or these games like this offered ever again in a complete, definitive package. Knowing how Disney and Marvel are with their properties as of late, it’s hard to say if they’ll ever be this generous ever again. No doubt Capcom had some pull with the contracts they signed for these games, and likely enforced it, but who knows if in the next generation of consoles we ever see these games in this level of quality ever again.

I've heard another issue with the collection is when you try to play mostly anything else online that isn't MvC2 and MvC1, you may be waiting a while to find anyone to play against if at all, especially in the ranked mode. I was looking forward to being able to select all of the game to play online randomly and just find whoever but from what people are saying, youll just keep getting MvC2 matches over and over.

[@jsilva95]

It probably depends what you're playing on? I have the ps5 version. Been getting consistent matches with cota and msh all day. I haven't even touched mvc or mvc2 yet.

[@diyth]

@@jsilva95it’s also only day two. In a month or so, I’d guess MvC2 is the only one with a big online community

[@TimeRocker]

@@jsilva95 The question is though, are you selecting all of the available games from from COTA to MvC2 in the matchmaking or are you specifically looking only for those? And what do you consider consistent? Waiting 10-20 seconds, a minute, 5 minutes? Etc.

[@jsilva95]

@TimeRocker I'm learning the game, so I've been playing casual matches in Msh. Wait time has been about 10 to 20 seconds. I was playing xcom earlier today on casual and the wait time per match was a little longer but not much.

[@daniellee-poy3371]

Loving the collection so far but it really needs cross play for its longevity and health of player base. I'm hoping Capcom will take every ones critique seriously and add it down the road.

LOVED IT SPENT 24 HOURS GRINDING AND GOT ALL THE ACHIEVEMENTS IN THIS GAME THIS BROUGHT back so many memories in arcades and ps1 days now its time to rank it up

[@frankmartinjr6236]

Not a single word about Punisher 😢

[@TheDatabaseNetwork]

Sorry, but people came to this collection for MvC2. And that's it.

[@PolloMarcko]

​​@TheDatabaseNetwork but everything else in it is better than MvC2 tho.

[@dunes8817]

Probably because he hasn't tried it yet.

[@brandonwilliams6119]

I came into this collection for all the games, Punisher looks fun, Punisher himself should be in MVC4

[@BorninFlames237]

​@@TheDatabaseNetwork I came for the other games too. :3

[@markpoland5748]

Just bought this collection, so I hit up your review and hats off max, talk about passion apprection, the amount of art work you talk about in there gave me more of an appreciation for these titles and like you I'm playing these when I would skip school to hang out at the arcade. Have to say loved the review but I love your passion for the games. Max from Dublin 🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀🥇🥇🙏🙏🙏stay safe and well.

[@droppedcombofiend2707]

The biggest problem with this collection, is that it is just the arcade versions. If you don't want to play online, there's basically nothing to do here. They really should have ported at least the full Dreamcast version of MvC2 so that the single player stuff was there. Then had the arcade roms included for people who wanted that version. Because right now, there's no reason for a casual player to really pick this up. That's why I'm not picking it up until I see a steep sale. I don't have people to play with and have no interest in playing online. Even though I love MvC and MvC2, I know I'd play it for a couple hours and never touch it again.

[@EeleyeDD]

Eh to be fair you can go achievement hunting and there's a ton to do. One of them wants you to head every game with every character so there's a thing to do

[@norbertoiiitadeo3184]

As someone who is a super casual who bought it immediately, there are 7 other games. Not to mention the punisher is great.

[@MisterAzathoth]

I agree with you. I'll miss the DC extras in the upcoming CvS1/2 like custom grooves, pair match mode, and color edit.

[@timhouston8007]

Someone fart on this dude

[@HarryMacLennan]

I remember MvC2 for 360 had a broken arcade mode. They axed the exp. system and for some reason, only the initial 24 characters would appear as opponents. The only way you would face the any of the other 32 was if they were in your team, as the game insists you face your team members at some point in the ladder.

[@minechaftgamer288]

I got back into fighters in time for origins but literally just after mvc2 was delisted, makes me feel a bit better to know this :)

[@batman_beyond0004]

Come on guys let’s get tatsunoko vs capcom, let’s support this collection and hope we get it

[@volcanickjoe08]

Extremely unlikely, but hey, after this, anything is possible in this timeline!

[@citypopradioFM]

The licenses to work out for a Tatsunoko release in this day and age has virtually no chance, sadly. That game was a product of simpler times, for sure, but anything is possible. I just don't think the demand for it is there like it has been for MvC.

[@ShinYeg]

My favorite games of all-time finally seeing the love in modern days and getting the treatment it finally deserves. Who else to express those emotions but the mount Rushmore of marvel heads. So happy to see these guys happy and get what we've all been waiting for. ❤️‍🔥

[@megamandrn001]

It's really funny how the very first conversation Max had yesterday about MvC2 when he got his hands on it was how so many characters are basically unusable and the massive roster is inevitably ground down to like five characters. If the five characters that were actually usable were like Amingo, Ruby Heart, Shumah Gorath, Marrow and Dhalsim, I doubt anyone would even mention MvC2 these days. It's actually legendary and worth coming back because the unbalanced characters are X-men that 90's kids drooled over though. I really wish they would have rebalanced these games using the 20 year knowledge they've gathered from the FGC so we don't see nothing but Cable, Magneto and Sentinel footage for the next year.

[@dunes8817]

The neat thing is occasionally folks with find new discoveries with the characters that can change team combos a little. I'd much rather have that as a special edition release than part of a collection (akin to the PS3/XBox 360 release)

[@megamandrn001]

@@dunes8817 I'd like the option at least. I don't think the old versions should go away but like, let's fix some problems if we can, make these things the best they can be.

[@dunes8817]

@@megamandrn001 Thankfully it doesn’t matter too much as long as you’re not in the upper competitive areas and there’s quite a few situational characters (I’ve seen at least one interesting technique that used Roll)

[@arcanask]

If it's closer to the arcade version, I've seen people clear out whole arcades with just garbage tier characters.

[@thewildfirewarrior2773]

I'm a near total fighting game noob, can barely make it to Onslaught on the easiest settings even with all the assist options the game gives you. But it's just so awesome to see these games playable again! Easily worth the price of admission, especially if it means the series gets new entries in the near future. I'd love a proper MvC4!

[@Travis-oy3se]

Apparently, the MvC Collection physical does not come with a cartridge for the Switch version. This has been confirmed for Europe so lets hope NA gets a cartridge.

[@VOAN]

NA will get the cartridge on Switch just like how the Capcom Fighting Collection 1 got a cartridge for Switch. Not sure why people fear that just cause Europe will get code in a box that NA will too. Europe never got physical release of these anyways.

[@jeice2226]

Google is your friend.

[@elcremoso22]

Video game plus a video game retailer got confirmation that it is all on the cart . They tweeted it out right after the announcement .

[@Half_Bl00d_H3R0]

Why spread misinformation

[@edmondjohnson7286]

Nintendo Switch version will release physical copies on November, explained in Nintendo Direct.

[@ultimatespideyhero]

The only issue I had with Local play was that my PC’s inputs for my Dualsense were all wack, but that might be something on my end rather than the game itself. Other than that I *Really* like how easy it is to just jump right into a game and customize the settings to what I’d want. Only small thing I miss is the lack of in game menus for MVC2 but that was a given and honestly the museum more than makes up for it. Thinking about getting my first fight pad for this cause I’m just so happy to finally have MVC in its entirety to own again.

[@dnevinski6409]

Capcom need to release an art book, for these series....like fr...i want a capcom collection book

[@BigDaddyCola]

Completely agree it feels great. Im still a bit shocked there isnt a seperate versus mode for local play. If they can implement a training mode they can add a local versus mode so u can switch characters after a match. This helps the casual audience alot.

[@Oiinchi]

Without watching I predict 9/10

[@Oiinchi]

DAMN IT I MISSED A 0.5 😭 still rlly good tho

[@oozarusama]

Does anyone know a solution for why there is no sound in the PC version? I have tried some recommendations and nothing and the online version does not work or crashes. It's a shame waiting for the physical version.

[@karlwilson7031]

Max is the only one who will notice a frame of difference.

[@CMCAdvanced]

Nah, you'd see it in this game. When you start doing all your moves in a different position, you'll notice

[@willreyes860]

So I bought this mostly for the couch experience with my friends. But there is no true versus mode where we can pick different teams after a fight. The winner always gets locked in? Or am i missing something? Also did anyone’s buttons start off messed up in steam? And the dpad was disabled? I LOVE MvC2 but these details made my first night with the game more frustrating than it should have been

[@Remigration2077]

No physical copy for switch no buy.

[@criticaldrop7000]

Isn't it in November?

[@CrimsonMoonM]

I thought the European physical copies were the only one that will only come with a code in the box once they release in November? Did they announce that all of the Switch releases are going to be download only?

[@Remigration2077]

Europe gets a code in a box, dont know about the U.S. I just know you get a comicbook.

[@XradicalD]

I'm glad that this collection is a net positive overall but I do hope they would have added the HD version too as a bonus and maybe use it to add new things on top. Not sure this collection will ever be updated besides maybe a fix or two but I kinda wish it gets updated with those missing things.

[@airjoshy]

If only Nintendo would’ve shown this much love with the super mario 3D all stars 😅

[@zakkziegler111]

Makes me so happy to know this collection not only finally exists, but is amazing. Seeing that artwork makes me upset that I sold my MvC artbook that ended up being worth a ton of money. I wish I would've just kept it 😒

[@Guile_The_Exile]

Incredibly lame that this doesn't have crossplay.

[@NiGHTS1980]

It's just good to have these classic arcade games in one collection on modern platforms. If you told my 2000s self that I can play MvC2 on a handheld console in a park somewhere in the future, my mind would have been blown. Great time for fighting game fans with more to come.

[@Jbswe]

Not worth almost 80 Canadian dollars if I’ll be honest

Skill issue to your whole country

[@Jbswe]

@@Half_Bl00d_H3R0 lmao bruh I’m just not going to pay that much for a game I won’t spend that much time playing, I played a lot of mvc2 in 2021 on emulator I doubt I’d play more then like 5 hours

[@esmooth919]

On the Switch, the game feels damn near pixel perfect. Unfortunately, the biggest problem is every connection is peer to peer, so if one players connection is bad, the entire party suffers. And with that in mind, I really don't understand how some people can optimally play fighting games with bad connections and lag! I hate input lag!

[@DavMCycle]

This is the review that matters, thank you Max! I am very glad the collection is great.
