>Capcom somehow manages to make a traditional fighting game that's fun to play without knowing how to play>No one, including Capcom, ever replicates it again, instead they just dumb down the mechanics when they want to make a game "accessible"Why can no one replicate the success of MvC2?
>>729119983Because MvC2 was lightning in a bottle, anon. It was a freak accident of jank, style, and tight mechanics that somehow came together into a beautiful mess of hypers, infinites, broken-ass assists and a GOD TIER soundtrack. They didn’t even know what they were making-half the cast was shoved in last minute, the balance is non-existent, and it still ended up being the most hype fighting game ever made. Nowadays devs are terrified of "unfair" mechanics and focus testing everything to death. Capcom would never allow something like unfly or guard breaks to sneak through again. They want clean and polished, not raw and chaotic. That rawness is what made MvC2 feel alive. You can't design soul, bro-it just happens.

>>729119983Look how non committee this cover art is. Guile to represent Capcom, Psylocke to rep Marvel? Gaming was more free back then, even if you don't bring up tourists.
>>729119983>>No one, including Capcom, ever replicates it again, instead they just dumb down the mechanics when they want to make a game "accessible"dbfz did and it was the most successful fighting game in recent memory
>>729124590It's because nobody gave a fuck about dog shit like cover art back then. Think about how many games that had crazy amazing cover art and the game was pure fucking dog shit slop. The worst game I've ever played in my life, Rascal, has cover art that makes the game look like it's going to be fucking great and it ends up being pure horse shit. You could make your cover art whatever as long as the actual game was good nobody gave a shit.
>>729126774Also my retarded ass forgot my image. Cover art didn't mean much back then, especially when you consider how games way back in the day (80s 90s) would have cover art that straight up didn't match ANYTHING in the game at all.
>>729126774>>729126869The cover art was the most important thing in terms of selling games back then. Most kids didn't know shit about the games they were getting their parents to buy, at most they maybe saw a commercial or read about it in a magazine. The purpose of cover art back then was to be eye catching.
>>729124590Guile is iconic and Psylocke had appeared in Capcom games before
>>729127489Still didn't hold as much weight as it does now. Again back then companies were literally scamming people with ridiculous box art with aliens and fantasy dragons and all kinds of shit and then you get the game and it's pixelated dog shit. Nowadays it matters because people are going to tweet and screech about how their favorite celebrity and fag streamer isn't the on the cover art or cover athlete. Which is ironic since most people buy digital and won't even see the cover of the game besides the 2 secs of them clicking to start the app up.
>>729128163You sound retarded.
>>729129413And you sound brown.
>>729129729Why? You sound retarded because you are either autistic or drunk. The shit you say wouldn't make sense to anyone who isn't you.
>>729129839Because you're attacking me for being right. And only brownoids chimp out like this when they're wrong. It's okay to be wrong sometimes little brown fella, it's not the end of the world.
>>729119983mahvel 2 is fun but it is too borked for its own good. anyway a new game should sprinkle a bit of 2/3/I in it. I like active tag but it makes some players seethe too much so maybe put some limiter on it.
