Or the PS2 version for better controls.

Yeah, MvC2 didn't have story mode, but i don't recall capcom going on about story mode either. In MvC3, they said the story is great, its a huge story mode, ect. although i'm glade everybody has endings now, although they are less than what TvC had, from what i've been told, and TvC only had 3 picture endings.

IIRC, MvC3 only has Arcade, vs, Training, and "Mission" Mode

Well, at its base it seems fine enough. However, I can definitely understand dissapointment over unfulfilled promises. At least they have the ability to add to the game if need be, kind of like how they did with the Street Fighter 4 games by adding Tournament mode and what not. Perhaps they'll do the same thing here.

Yep lazy assness from capcom this GEN.Sad to say im looking forward more to capcom vs snk 2 and SF3:3rd strike online.Make things worse with Marvel vs capcom 3 they simplified the controls just like Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

Yeah cos MvC 2 wasn't just all the character sprites from all the versus games before it thrown in to a single game.

Everyone commenting on this story is a scrub, No one who is actually planning to be competitive with this game gives a shit about story mode and cheap bosses, those things are just there to please the flavor of the month bandwagoners who will ultimately never understand the game and complain about getting owned whilst in the same breath complain that it has been dumbed down.

Please dont let your "opinions" speak for everyone else. Everyone in the Fighting game community (not you) are completely hyped for this new era. The complainers are always the casuals. Capcom put simple mode in just for you, so sit back, mash away and then move on to the next generic FPS the week after.

stay free

^Waaaaa waaa waaaa
all those same character sprites made for arguably the best fighting game ever made. Marvel vs Capcom 2
