MVC Collection: thoughts:

 I got the Marvel vs Capcom arcade collection. I have thoughts:

I shall go through each game:

The Punisher:

Decent Beat-em' up game. Capcom didn't half ass things. They have different sprites for anick Fury facing left and right. That was a pleasant surprise. The gunplay dynamic was unorthodox, but it works for Punisher.

X-MEN Children of the Atom:

Fuck this game with a rusty spoon. Even on the easiest difficulty Magneto has more SNK Boss Syndrome than actual SNK bosses. But it's not just Magneto. Pretty much every character is cheaper than a Black Friday at the Dollar Store... Seriously, This game is trying to take quarters from me even in Free play!

Marvel Superheroes:

Finally, we're back to manageable games. The game isn't as cheap as its predecessor and we have Spider-Man. The Gem gimmick was functional and it worked for the game's storyline. This brings back memories.

X-Men vs Street Fighter:

Akuma being a tease in Children of the Atom brought forth this crossover. The tag team  battle gimmick became a staple for the series after this game. Out of all the games in the series this was the second easiest to beat.

Marvel Superheroes vs Street Fighter:

Fuck Cyber Akuma with a spike studded dildo. Game is "beatable" but fuck Cyber Akuma. Fuck hin in the ass with a spike studded dildo... a rusty spike studded dildo. Cyber Akuma should die of Tetanus. Other than that, this is X-Men vs Street Fighter but the X-Men have been reduced to 2 and Omega Red. The rest are Characters from Marvel Superheroes.

Marvel vs Capcom:

"Know my name and fear it. I am Onslaught!" Back in high school we said that phrase differently... " Now you are my bitch, I am Onslaught!" Mainly because Onslaught was COTA Magneto in Steroids! This is the most SNK Capcom has gotten with a character suffering of Chronic SNK Boss Syndrome. Here Capcom was beginning to get lazy. Morrigan deserved new sprites. 

Marvel vs Capcom 2:

Weird music selection. Holy shit so many characters. But seriously, the music is perfect background music for parties, not fighting games. Also Fp, fp,fp,fp,fp,fp Hyper viper beam. 

My only complaint about the game is that it has no endings. There's no real point of playing this game in single player mode.

Honestly, The fact that I can legally play Marvel VS Capcom 2, Marvel Superheroes, X-Men VS Street Fighter,  and Marvel Superheroes VS Street Fighter with arcade perfect ports makes it worthwhile.
