Characters

I'm sure this is one of the most heralded sections in this area of the site, the CHARACTERS section. I'll be giving them each a rating of the 0 to 5 system, 0 being the lowest and 5 being the highest. Descriptions of each character are below.

~Chun Li~ Rating: 4.1

Chun Li can be extremely dangerous and devastating to a beginner player if she's placed in the hands of a veteran player, she just is so fast and strong, reminds me of her in Street Fighter II, lol. She's great, one of the best characters for sure, but her combos can sometimes be a little slippery to use.

~Ryu~ Rating: 3.3

  In Street Fighter II, I think even experts had trouble against the hardest Ryu CPU due to him repeatingly using Hadoken and his damn Dragon Punches, but in this game it's easier to evade and counter attack him. His hyper combos, like Chun Li, are a little difficult to control if you don't aim them right. One thing for sure, he's great for beginners.

~Roll~ Rating: 2.4

Roll's so cute and funny, her moves are slow and she's like a horrible downgrade of Megaman, BUT... she's still better than Zangief.

~Zangief~ Rating: 2.1

  Meh... beginners should NOT use him, unlike in Street Fighter II, Zangief has lost a lot of his qualities. In SF2, Zangief was a good choice to pick against someone like Ryu since coming close to Zangief would be a big mistake. In this game, most of his moves can be seen and you can prepare to block and counter him, so I'd probably say Zangief is the worst character in this game.

~Morrigan~ Rating: 2.9

With her... :cough: looks, you'd think she was a beautiful model/demoness with no combat skills, well that's wrong. She has weapons, claws, cranes and a whole bunch of crap she can just summon out of nowhere... she's overwhelming like Chun Li, but I notice she can be weak against Spider-man and people who can block.

~Captain Commando~ Rating: 2.4

I never found Captain Commando supremely difficult to beat, even against intermediate players, he's not overwhelming as I have blocked most of his attacks.

~Megaman~ Rating: 3.6

  He's not slow like he was in NES anymore, he's... upgraded, heh, heh. His hyper combos can be pretty useful and I've noticed whenever I have problems losing to an opponent all the time, I just use Megaman and he seems to neutralize most situations for me.

~Strider~ Rating: 3.4

  What game would be complete without a Ninja, lol. Strider's fast, slick, tough and overwhelming... a fine character to start out with.

~Spider-Man~ Rating: 3.6

One of the main reasons I play this game, SPIDER-MAN! He's pretty versatile, he can move all over and has loads of moves... however he would be rated higher, but his hyper combos can be seen a mile away when you prepare them and most have to be aimed just right... 

~Jin~ Rating: 2.8

  This guy can hyper combo an actual CRANE/TRUCK at you for massive damage, and whirlwind all over the place... should have just called him Whirlwind.

~Captain America~ Rating: 2.7

  Look, I love Captain America with all my heart and I feel he's great for this game, but his hyper combos aren't easy to land.

~Venom~ Rating: 4.7

I feel Venom is the best character in the game due to his versatility, great moves, and hyper combos... Venom Web combo can be hard to land, but you have to hit someone first then use it... or sneak attack them with it, that's my opinion... Venom rules, but if someone overwhelms him with a character like Chun Li you may have a problem since he cannot escape from a corner as fast as Spider-Man. "WE WANT TO EAT YOUR BRAIN!"

~Hulk~ Rating: 4.4

  Hulk's the second best character in this game, first off he takes shots very well and is barely moved around much. You would think with his huge height and weight he would be slow like Juggernaut? Apparently not, his gamma moves can beat the crap out of any character in this game, Hulk is one of the few characters that barely has to use his hyper combos to cause damage, since his normal ones cause plenty.

~Gambit~ Rating: 3.3

  Gambit... in MvC... that's... quite an interesting choice. Anyway, his Royal Flush hyper combo is one of the most dangerous in the game, where it can deal a 37 hit combo!!! He also has great aerial moves, but is hard to master.

~War Machine~ Rating: 4.1

  ONLY IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE WAR MACHINE COMPLETELY IS HE SUPREMELY USEFUL. His hyper combos rip HAVOC upon anything in his path, and his usual moves can be used defensively AND offensively, insanely powerful character here only if you set his moves up right.

~Wolverine~ Rating: 3.8

  What Marvel game would be complete without WOLVERINE?!?! This clawed, unbreakable bone prehistoric man better watch himself against all the opponents he has against him... he has some very useful hyper combos and if you can master him, he's overall one of the best.
