Description
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is the sequel to the 2D fighting game
Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
The game allows you to tag in all three players (instead of two, while the third is only used for special attacks, in the predecessor).
There are now up to 56 characters to use (most you have to unlock), including new characters like Jill Valentine from
Resident Evil and Tron Bonn from
Mega Man Legends.
Another new gameplay feature allows your teammates to come in during battle and give you a little health boost. This helps in lasting the distance in Survival mode, but they can also be hit by oncoming attacks from the enemy.

Some of the Capcom roster of characters are taken from old or obscure Capcom games such as

Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
