Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes
About the Game
Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes is a single-player and multiplayer 2D tag-team fighting game. It brings together characters from Marvel comics and Capcom franchises and frames them in a loose crossover where teams of three heroes or villains battle across a series of stages. players’ objective is to select a trio, manage active and reserve fighters, and defeat opposing teams across arcade ladders or versus play. Core combat centers on three-on-three team mechanics.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Players choose a point character and two reserves, then switch mid-match using tags and assists. Each teammate has three selectable assist types, commonly labeled Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, which determine the move performed when called from off-screen. Super meters are shared across the team and power Hyper Combos, Team Hyper Combos that bring in partners, and delayed sequences that chain one character’s super into the next. Movement and offense emphasize verticality and aerial pressure. Launchers send opponents into the air for extended “Aerial Rave” combos, super jumps help chase follow-ups, and advancing guard, often called pushblock, creates breathing room during pressure.
