About

Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes is the fourth game in the Marvel vs. Capcom series of fighting games. The player's controls were simplified to make the gameplay more accessible to the wider audience of casual players and the button configuration was trimmed down to 4 main buttons and 2 assist buttons. The game also features a different air-combo system and 3 on 3 tag, compared to the 2 on 2 tag from previous games in the series.

What players say

A wild, over-the-top crossover fighter with a huge 56-character roster and frantic team battles that remains a community-cherished classic decades on. Its reputation is inseparable from a wildly unbalanced 'god tier' meta where a handful of characters rule competitive play.
