which MVC2 characters are popular in japan?

[scum gale 88]

which MVC2 characters are big in japan? I hope they use more than just mag,sent,storm,and cable. do they use capcom characters as much as marvel characters? nobody seems to use capcom characters. its something that Ive been curious about.

[The_Dragon]

Sentinel, Storm, Magneto, Cable. That is all.

[KinanO]

jill,charlie,guild,sentinel,drdoom,cable,ironman,g ambit,collusus,storm,magneto,psyloce,sonson, those where most ever char i saw some vids of japan not to long ago :tup:

[mvsc2demon]

Solid Snake

[Xenozip.]

nobody seems to use capcom characters. Except the Mexicans.

[NKI]

The people who actually win use Mags, Storm, Sent, Cable, Iron Man, Psylocke, CapCom.

The people who lose use everyone else.


-Nicholai!

[scum gale 88]

oh,so then its not all that different from over here. I was hoping someone would say jin because jin is AW35OME!! I really liked your japan log NKI.

[MagnetGenocide]

Except the Mexicans.


Mexico/Latin America has the best low tier characters in the world.
They all play their shit like Justin K.

[scum gale 88]

like who? JIN?! Im guessing amingo is involved? and if you say dan then Im just gonna laugh

[Jappo]

Hey, Jin is pretty good, well his aaa assist is.

[OhNoos]

Japan give up on 'Sim and the Mummy? they used to love those two...

Silver Samurai was the number one character in Japan when the game was first released.

Several Evolution tournaments later, after it was already well established that Silver Samurai cannot win in a high-level context, "some guy" named CornNuts found out Silver Samurai cannot be thrown by any character while he is crouching.

While definitely the symptom of a broken game, it's generally meaningless to a real match because while Silver Samurai can blatantly turtle forever by holding down-back, he is still defeated by the most basic Sentinel strategy.

My theory is that Capcom of Japan inserted this "bug" on purpose before handing it over to its American counterpart. As a result, we have Marvel vs. Capcom 2, a game that "balanced" itself out "by accident".

And the Psycho Drive low strongs for the death.

[Return of Shiki]

I heard that Japan LOOOOOOOOOOOOVED Iron Man.

:lol: at Japan's love for Silver Samurai and his "I'm ducking so don't throw me, BITCH!"

[jae hoon]

Japan quit marvel for the most part long ago.

[Mystic_bash]

Except the Mexicans.
Fuckin truth! Capcom4lyfe(Right after SNK of course)

[1806pimp]

Cable is okay, Storm good, Sent great and so is Mags but they're not as good as people say they are. I play with Mags and Sent because I have more fun with them.

:wtf: so who's better than them?

[Higher-Jin]

my understanding is that ironman is very popular in japan

[scum gale 88]

I just thought that since the japanese could easily crush america at sf then maybe the capcom characters would be more popular. that obviously doesnt change the fact that bison is no match for magneto. jin could easily beat him though

That I would

[MagnetGenocide]

That I would

lol :clap:

[scum gale 88]

I think its more fun to play lower tier characters JIN...GUILE...SABRETOOTH, ASSEMBLE! like some kind of horrible voltron type...thing. I know mexico owns low tier, now I do anyways. if japanese players can own with twelve then the world is their oyster with this game. rabble rabble rabble

[scum gale 88]

ok,this is the "official anti-jill still has it in her" thread. lets show that jill still has it in her thread! she is pretty good though. YOU THINK YOURE BIGGER THAN THIS THREAD kinanO?! well I challenge you to a thread battle, we each get a bag with rations and a weapon, we go into the woods, and we eventually duel to the death. I dont know, Im just throwing out ideas here. its still the MVC2 japan thread.

[scum gale 88]

"kinano walks over the scrub without looking down"

[scum gale 88]

ah who cares. we all know Ive won this thread battle anyways. would anyone know which characters were popular in jpn when the game was first released? Im really interested in knowing which characters were popular before the big 4 were discovered

[JohnnyEight]

Doom was good back then, it seems. There's a US vs Japan results from 2000 link somewhere on this site. Check the main page and all that stuff that nobody ever reads...

[scum gale 88]

I never thought to look that up. all I knew was that america CREAMED japan at marvel and nothing else really.

[JohnnyEight]

I just looked at it. Main page, tournaments or something, BH was pretty popular too.

[scum gale 88]

yeah,I got the evo 2004 dvd and chikyuu played a kickass blackheart

[JonnyQuest]

what does it matter? japan doesn't care about marvel. so why should you care about japanese marvel players. check out who justin, santhrax, mix-up, wigfall, & etc.
magneto, storm, sent., cable; your basic top teirs.
in addition with a few assist characters;
psylock, cyclops, dr. doom, tronbonn, cap.com., and maybe blackheart if your picking on one of your buddies that can't even get out of basic traps.
sent., stryder, dr.doom <cl0ckWork>>is one the most coolest teams to watch btw. one fuck up by stryder and he's dead. my opinion the most top teir team but at the same time an underdog story.
...Quest

NKI saids that Mitsu won about one third of his matches vs Justin, if I recall correctly (maybe it is one fourth).In either case, that[s probably a better showing than any US player but Sanford can do.

[23:26] : ya
[23:26] : own free

[23:27] : like 100-3
[23:27] : mitsu and chikkyu"

I am sure. NKI will upload the tape, and ricky just said stuff on AIM or something (in fact, in the tape that NKI already have Mitsu wins by 8-6 or something close to that).

Anyone remember when someone from Japan posted here about 2-3 years ago and I think in a typo said Sakura was top-tier in Japan? And thus the mad rush to try to learn Sakura? I wonder if that was real

Not a typo.
