Anyone playing? I got to play a bit this morning and it was very good. This is easily my favorite fighter of all time, and I have been playing it on and off since 2000...so, I am going to add some rambling thoughts:

-Feels like input lag is reduced from the PS3 version, as I can magneto infinite way easier...which is nice. Actually, Maximillian confirmed this. I used to think my dropped combos on PS3 was just me being old...turns out, my reflexes just yearn for the Dreamcast input lag.

-rematch remembers your characters and assists...which is cool. But picking a new team, the assist pick defaults to whatever assist was in that slot on the previous team...which is weird, because I kind of pic that shit on muscle memory. I ended up with Psylocke on gamma assist because I was not paying attention...that was no good.

-They took out the screen flash for a KO'd character, which I did not realize was a response my brain relied on.

-I really, really wish they added a placement system like in SF6, where you play 10 matches, and the game figures out what rank you should be in. If I am playing ranked, I want to play other decent people, and it's just a pile of bodies right now. MVC2 is basically two different games: the high level meta, and the fun low tiers. I have low tier teams, but, I want to play ranked to play good people again...so it does not feel good to go in guns blazing because I don't know if I am playing the best guile in the world or not.

All in all...this is going to greatly affect my productivity.

I was a button masher when this was still a big game back in the day, so I never learned how to properly play. Now that I have this, I'm hoping to learn and with the help of a friend, revive the FGC in my area. Like, I started really getting into FGs around 2011 with MK9, but I will never play MK seriously again or touch that series. Skullgirls was next and I really only ever learned Squigly, but it helped me figure out execution to a degree. I got really serious about DBFZ, but I put it down in 2021 (I wanna knock the rust off, but I don't think there's a point now). GBVSR, GGST, and (to a lesser degree) SF6 are the games I've been playing since then so my brain is having trouble adapting to team games again and calling assists. I heavily prefer 1v1 FGs and I now have access to all of the Marvel games, but I know MvC2 is going to reign again, so I'd prefer to focus on that. I just don't know how receptive my midlife brain is to figuring it out.
