Marvel vs. Capcom 2 may not be the most balanced fighting game out there, but it may be the most fun fighting game, with only the Super Smash Bros. series being a possible exception. I mean, I'm a Marvel fan and a Capcom fan, so this game was tailor-made for someone like me. Imagine playing with characters like the Hulk, Spider-Man, and Wolverine against Ryu, Chun-Li, and Guile... all with that Capcom polish. To top it all off, you create tag-teams of three with 56 characters to choose from!
With so many characters and so many possibilities of team match-ups, I found it hard to believe that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 could be used in competition, especially for the formal Evolution tournament. Well, I'm glad they included it because it gave us one of the best comebacks put on tape that wasn't performed by Daigo. In fact, it's none other than Justin Wong, who you may know from the Evo Moment #37 video as being the victim of the greatest clutch performance by Daigo. Justin could have been known solely for that video if it wasn't for this one:
Being down 2 characters in a 3 on 3 match must seem like a hopeless situation... but as the video says, NEVER GIVE UP.

5/25/2007 - Pokemon MARVEL Ver.
I never got into the whole Pokemon craze... mainly because I've never been into RPG's in general. The whole idea of leveling up with experience points just seems like too much work to me. The whole idea of playing a video game should be to have fun, and fighting small enemies over and over again just to be at a certain level to fight a boss is not fun!
That's why I enjoy fighting games. You start out with a character with all your special moves from the beginning and you fight against opponents one by one. Your character doesn't get stronger as you fight, but it's up to you as the player to be more skilled as you play. Isn't that what being a gamer should be about?
Nobody does 2-D fighting games like Capcom does and they hit their stride with the Marvel vs. Capcom series. Whoever thought of having that kind of crossover with those licensed characters was a genius. And whoever thought of creating a crossover with Pokemon and Marvel vs. Capcom is an evil genius, because they created a Pokemon game that I would actually try.
