its pretty good, the weird CRT filter is kindof annoying but you get past it.

the best fighting game everrrrrr

This is really good if you like Marvel, Street Fighter, and Capcom. Marvel v. Capcom infinite is pretty good too, but the artstyle is MCU, which isnt bad... just not at all 90s.

I really like all the matchups.

It's Marval Baby!

As advertised

I'm having way too much fun with this game

MvC2 probably the greatest fighting game ever made but boi do some of these people who play use some of the cheesiest, broken, cheating character and mechanics the game has to offer. Even with that being the case the game is still fun and enjoyable plus new discoveries as far as combos and teams keep this 25 plus year old game still feel new.

This is something fighting game fans have requested for years. This will keep you busy for hours. There are several Capcom collections that have been released as of late. I think all of them are fairly well made and worth giving a play through.

We can say that it’s very similar to what Capcom has previously released, like the anniversary collection for Street Fighter. In the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics, the main menu features a museum section divided into Gallery and Music. In the Gallery, you can view concept art for each game, posters, marquees, and more. In the Music section, as you’d expect, you can listen to the soundtrack of each game included in the collection—so you can immediately play I’m Gonna Take You for a Ride from Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

The main menu also includes a section called Fighter Awards, where you earn medals for unlocking achievements, such as completing games or achieving more specific goals.

The collection also includes online play, and the matches are decent—it does depend on each participant’s connection, but from what I tested, they’ve done a good job with the netcode for online battles. You can play all the titles in the collection in either casual or ranked matches. If you want to play The Punisher, you’ll need to create a custom game. Online leaderboards are also included for high scores. The only downside I noticed is that it’s not always easy to find matches. While testing the collection during December, I found it challenging to find someone to play online. For this feature, it’s better to coordinate with a friend who owns the game.

When you go to the main section to access the games directly, you’ll find the arcade versions of the listed titles: X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and The Punisher.

You can play the American or Japanese versions of these games. This is especially important for Marvel vs. Street Fighter, as the Japanese version includes an exclusive character (Norimaro).

Other options include enabling easy selection of secret characters or having all characters available from the start—this is particularly useful in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, where characters were unlocked over time in the original game. Here, you can start with the full roster. You can also adjust the difficulty of each title and select between turbo, normal, and automatic modes. These specific settings vary by game, but the idea is to let you customize each one extensively.

I appreciated that, in addition to various button layout presets in the control settings, you can create your own custom layouts. This is especially useful if you have a preferred fight stick and want to configure it to your liking.

There are plenty of options for button customization, allowing you to assign specific moves to a single button. It’s worth exploring all the available options. Pre-assigned buttons for executing special moves with a single press are available from the start, making the game much more accessible for beginners.

One odd thing is that there’s only one quick save slot shared across all the titles in the collection. While each game keeps its own records and high scores, if you want to save at a specific point, you only have one save slot.

The collection also includes classic filters to replicate the look of old monitors, along with the option to turn them off. Additionally, each game has its own set of wallpapers to avoid those blank black borders in standard resolution.

A nice touch is that when you pause the game, you can access the character move charts that were originally displayed on the arcade cabinets. There’s also a section with a detailed list of moves for each character.

In conclusion, I think this is a complete package. Yes, they could have included some of the home versions of these games as a bonus. I can think of the HD version of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 that was released as a downloadable title during the PlayStation 3 generation, the Genesis version of The Punisher, or even X-Men vs. Street Fighter for PlayStation 1 to showcase what that version lacked. I understand that adding home or alternate versions wouldn’t showcase the pinnacle of the series but would work more as a curiosity.

These games have always had their arcade versions considered definitive, but from a historical perspective, it would have been interesting. This is more of a personal idea or request and in no way detracts from what they achieved with this product.

Beyond analyzing or reviewing the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics, I like to think of this as a celebration of the fact that it even exists.

Games based on popular licenses aren’t always a guarantee of quality, but here we have a collection of fighting games that are wonderful. Thanks to their graphics and gameplay, they’ve aged gracefully.

If you’re looking for great games that deliver and feature characters from Marvel and Capcom, you’ve come to the right place.

God bodied by the one and only Wazzler! Online is very stable connection and really good!(Hey Justin Wong if ur seeing this, keep up the grind and never give up!)
