I will only buy this if the price on the TvC fightsticks drops in price, I will not play a fighter without one and paying for a £70 stick just for one game is a waste.

why not just get a classic controller, since I know how great you think the ps3 pad is for street fighter 4, this three button fighter should be even better with the classic controllers better dpad

 

PS3 pad great compared to control pad sticks or the 360 D-Pad, but nothing beats an arcade fightstick and you have no idea how awkward it is switching between pads and sticks for different games.  Once you're using a stick it is really hard to go back to a pad.

Believe me I know the difference between pads and sticks, I'm a neo geo owner, and have been for a long time, I won't touch any snk fighters without a proper fighting stick, Moves like the rising storm, deadly rave, playing as Kyo as a whole is miserable with pads.

and the classic controller is far better than the ps3 pad. There are other fighters on the wii, samurai shodown anthology, kof anthology, Guilty Gear Acore,

plus many arcade style games benefit from using an aracde stick for gameplay, New Super Mario Brothers wii, Contra Rebirth, basically anything that is dpad centric

Dude, you don't NEED a fight stick.  I don't use one in MvC2, and I play just fine... well, as good as one can get before resorting to spam, but, that's a personal choice.  You and I both know there are extremely good players in fighters that use controllers instead of sticks.  It's all about preference, and what you want to use.  If you want TvC, toughen up, and use the controller until you get an arcade stick, it's not that big of a deal...

Anyway, this game is a no-go for me.  I don't have a Wii, and I don't see the point in getting one for this lone title, an extra controller, and classic controller for this... I'd never get a stick for a fighter, it's not necessary, and not remotely a requirement. "OMG, I can't wave dash on a controller, it's too hard...." Well, practice... Or, spend a ton of money for the sole purpose of wave dashing, or whatever it is you can't do... like it's really worth it.

But, I've got problems with this game... the biggest being it's a 3 button fighter with an assist button...  I already don't like the simplicity of MvC2, because everyone has pretty much the same universal combo, so, if you learn the basics, you can play with everyone except Zangief, and a few others that require a bit more practice..............  What?  No, of course not on a professional level, wtf?

But, things being even more simplified from MvC2, which means combos are easier to pull off (74+ hits? 3 buttons?)  If the game had been 6 button, I would have considered it, but, yeah, that's not the case.  The other reason I don't want the game is that there's no Jin...  He better show up for MvC3.  But then, do I really want to pay 200 dollars for ONE game?  No....  Again, would have considered it if there was at least Jin.

Oh, and as for as reviews go, they probably gave it a 9/10 to be safe.  The Vs. Series is something you have to spend a lot of time with to get good with, and the review team can't spend that kinda time with the game.  I mean, if you just spend 45 minutes with the game, you may like it, but, you may not be able to enjoy it to it's fullest because there are just secret combos to find, and limitless possibilities...  Look at spiderman, for example in the Marvel Vs. Series.  You have to time your attacks slightly differently from most characters, and, he has ariel cross-ups, and things like that.  Things you wouldn't find just playing on your own for a set time, and I'm sure they're probably aware of this, since there's something called youtube........ which will speed the learning proccess.

That is what I said, the classic controller is fine, the snk fighters just tend to have alot more awkard motion or repititions that make pads really hard to use

also don't write off TvC because it is three buttons, it doesn't mean it lacks depth, real bout is a three button fighter that is very complex, and don't forget the 2 attack button virtua fighter

and never confuse simplity with depth,

deoth doesn't come from face buttons it comes from how you play the game, samurai shodown is a prime example, the goal isn't learning crazy combos or long winded special moves, but timing and observation

I bet you can't do infinity combos, and 999+ combos in Virtua Fighter...  It's not just the fact that it's three buttons, but, the type of game it is.. I'm well aware Virtua Fighter has three buttons, but, anyone with the slightest bit of fighting game skill knows that's acceptable because the fighting machanics are completely different.  They aren't the same, and cannot be compared..  Just because it works for one game, doesn't mean it will work for all... And you can't call virtua fighter a 3 button fighter while calling TvC a 3 button fighter.. Virtua Fighter has a grab button, and Tatsunoko has an assist button.  If you're not going to omit Virtua Fighter's gaurd button, don't omit Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom's assist button...

I'm going to wait another 8 years for the official release of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3... Whenever DISNEY gives capcom the OK, 'cause Marvel got PWN'd by them... for 4 billion dollars.
