=--------=
=Controls=
=--------=
In the Arcade, MvC2's controls have a six-button layout, with the Start
button having additional functions once the game begins:
O ST
| LP HP PA
| LK HK PB
---
This is a radical change from the layout of the other three games in the
series which had three punch and three kick buttons. The "medium" punch
and kick buttons have disappeared, and have been replaced by buttons for
Partner A and Partner B. During gameplay, the Start button is used to taunt,
and after a round can be used to break the win animation of a character (see
below for more details).
For the Dreamcast and Arcade, the default commands are as follows:
Command Arcade Std. DC Pad Arcade Stick
-------------------------------------------------------
Movement Joystick Digital Pad Joystick
Light Punch LP X Button X Button
Heavy Punch HP Y Button Y Button
Partner A PA L Trigger Z Button
Light Kick LK A Button A Button
Heavy Kick HK B Button B Button
Partner B PB R Trigger C Button
Pause --N/A-- Start Start
Taunt (Chouhatsu) Start A + Start A + Start
Win Pose Break Start Start Start
On the Dreamcast, in the game's pause menu there are options for changing the
game controls to your own configuration, such as assigning LP + HP to a single
button or even assigning the Taunt to a button. Of course, with only six
buttons, this means giving up one of the standard buttons to play with.
=------------=
=Assist Types=
=------------=
When selecting your characters from the opening screen, you will need to select
an Assist Type for each character. The Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Assist Types
are unique to each character, and the selected type determines the Variable
Assist and Variable Combination moves that the selected character will perform.
For each character's Assist Types, one is noted as "Awesome" on the character
select screen. While this type doesn't appear to be necessarily better than
the other two, it's the recommended type to choose until you have decided on
the best set of types to mix and match.
The Assist Type listed on the character selection screen will tell you
generally about that character's Variable Assist and Variable Combination moves,
although characters with limited or unique Hyper Combos may not necessarily
conform to the description given. Each character's Assist Type is one of the
following:
Shooting Attack: Character launches a projectile attack
Example: Ryu's Hadouken
Air Attack: Character launches a primarily anti-air attack
Example: Ryu's Shoryuuken
Irregular Attack: Character launches a non-traditional attack
Example: Iceman's Ice Avalanche
Movement Attack: Character launches a moving melee attack that begins
from the current character's location
Example: Ryu's Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku
Balance Assist: Character's Variable Attack and Variable Combination moves
compliment one another
Example: Psylocke's Psy-Blast (Shooting) and Psy-Thrust
(Rush)
Rush Attack: Character launches a moving melee attack that begins
from the edge of the screen
Example: Rogue's Repeating Punch
Throw: Character attempts to throw the opponent
Example: Zangief's Flying Power Bomb
Recovery: Character gives the current character a life-up item.
Example: Jill's Red + Green Herb
Sweep Attack: Character launches a melee attack that spans almost all or
the entire screen, usually hitting low
Example: Blackheart's Dark Thunder
Launch Attack: Character attacks with a Aerial Rave Launch move.
Example: Gambit's Crouching HP
Attack Assist: Character launches a trap/grab projectile or attack
Example: Spider-Man's Web Ball
Ability Assist: Character gives the current character a power-up item.
Example: Ruby Heart's Power Up
=-----------------=
=Hyper Combo Gauge=
=-----------------=
The Hyper Combo gauge, located at the bottom of the screen for each team,
displays the current number of Hyper Combo levels available for that team. When
empty, the bar is empty, but with each non-Hyper Combo attack (hit or miss,
regular or special) or received hit, the bar fills with color (from center to
side) until an additional level is gained. Up to 5 Hyper Combo levels can be
stored for a team, and this level is denoted by "MAX".
Hyper Combo levels are used to perform Hyper Combos, most of which use up one
Hyper Combo level. Some other types of moves use up the levels as well; these
are outlined in detail below.
=-----------=
=Hyper Combo=
=-----------=
The Hyper Combo is a special move that, when successful, can do a large amount
of damage to a single opponent. Each character has one or more unique Hyper
Combos that can be performed against the opponent. Most Hyper Combos require
and use one Hyper Combo level, although their are some that require and use
three levels. Each character has their own unique commands that initiate a
Hyper Combo, so see the Character Move Lists below for details.
Before a Hyper Combo, there is a slight pause where the screen darkens and the
character performing the move gathers energy. During this pause, the opponent
cannot move, although if the Hyper Combo is one that does not connect instantly,
this does give them a short period in which to prepare a guard.
=-------------------=
=Delayed Hyper Combo=
=-------------------=
The Delayed Hyper Combo allows up to all three characters on a team to perform
Hyper Combos against a single opponent in quick succession. Once the first
character is currently performing a Hyper Combo, if you perform any of the
Hyper Combo commands for Partner A (the one listed first below the current
character), the current character's Hyper Combo will immediately stop, and
Partner A will jump in and immediately begin the Hyper Combo that was chosen.
The current character becomes Partner B, and the character that was Partner B
then becomes Partner A. During normal game play, you can perform this a
second time, allowing all three of your characters to perform a Hyper Combo
against the opponent.
During a Delayed Hyper Combo, Hyper Combo levels are used up as if each
character had independently performed a Hyper Combo.
Take note that if the Hyper Combo used is one that does not strike immediately,
then the opponent may either fall to the ground unharmed by the second combo or
even be able to block it.
=--------------------=
=Variable Combination=
=--------------------=
The Variable Combination has up to all three partners attack the opponent at
once with a simultaneous Hyper Combo. By pressing the Partner A and Partner B
buttons at the same time, a number of characters equal to the number of Hyper
Combo levels available (up to 3, naturally) will perform a set Hyper Combo at
the same time. Each character's Variable Combination depends on the Assist
Type chosen at the time of character selection. Full details on each Hyper
Combo used are given in the Character Move List below.
The Variable Combination can only be performed while the character is standing
or crouching on the ground and not performing an attack or actively guarding.
If you have only one Hyper Combo level, only your current character will
perform their set Hyper Combo. If you have two Hyper Combo levels, your
current character and Partner A will perform Hyper Combos. If you have three
or more Hyper Combo levels, both Partners will attack along with you.
=--------=
=Snapback=
=--------=
The Snapback move allows you to knock the current opponent out of play for
several seconds and force in the opponent's partner of your choice. With
a motion of D, DF, F + either of the Partner buttons, the screen will pause
briefly (as it would for a Super Combo) and your character will launch a short
punch or kick. If it connects and is not blocked, it will knock the current
opponent out of the field of play. D, DF, F + PA replaces the current opponent
with Partner A, D, DF, F + PB replaces the current opponent with Partner B.
The Snapback does have a high price, however. One Hyper Combo level is used
upon each execution, whether it is successful or not.
=---------------=
=Variable Assist=
=---------------=
The Variable Assist allows you to call in one of your Partners for a Special
Move or normal attack against the opponent. The Variable Assist of each
character is determined by their Assist Type (see above for more information,
and see the Character Move List for information on exactly which moves are
performed).
By pressing either of the Partner buttons, the corresponding Partner (A or B)
will jump onto the screen, perform their Variable Assist attack, taunt, and
then jump off screen. During this time, the newly arrived partner is
vulnerable to attacks from the opponent, and they can take damage. However,
all damage an assisting character takes is recoverable.
=----------------=
=Variable Counter=
=----------------=
While actively guarding from an attack, you can call in one of your partners
to counterattack the opponent. B, DB, D + either Partner button calls in the
respective Partner to counter the opponent with a special move or normal
attack. A Variable Counter uses up one Hyper Combo level per use.
=---------------=
=Variable Attack=
=---------------=
To tag out to another Partner, you can use the Variable Attack. By pressing
LP + LK for Partner A or HP + HK for Partner B, your Partner will fly onto the
screen with an attack, and your current character will leave.
If your Variable Attack strikes, the opponent will be thrown spinning into the
air, unable to block or attack. During this time, you can follow up with an
attack or combo.
=-----------=
=Aerial Rave=
=-----------=
An Aerial Rave occurs when you launch an opponent into the air with an attack
and follow them upwards with a combo. To perform an Aerial Rave launch, each
character has one or more commands that will cause a red circular flash around
the opponent, sending them into the air. Immediately upon a successful launch,
hold the Joystick or D-Pad up to perform a Super Jump that matches the
opponent's trajectory. This allows you to follow up with additional hits and
perform an Aerial Rave combo.
Each character has at least one launch move that is either DF + HP or DF + HK.
All available launch moves are listed below in the Character Move List.
=----=
=Dash=
=----=
Dashing allows you character to cover ground towards or away from the opponent
more quickly. For larger, slower characters, this is an essential ingredient
to their attacks. During a dash, you are vulnerable to attacks, but you can
attack at any time.
To dash forward, push the joystick towards the opponent twice quickly or press
both punch buttons together. To dash backward, push the joystick away from
the opponent twice quickly or hold backward and press both punch buttons.
=----------=
=Super Jump=
=----------=
To perform a Super Jump that is much higher than your character's normal jump,
just move the joystick to any up position from any down position, such as
D, U or DB, UF.
=-----------------=
=Guard / Air Guard=
=-----------------=
To guard against an attack, hold back on the joystick. While standing, holding
back guards from jumping and high attacks, but you can still be hit by a low
attack. While crouching, holding back guards from high and low attacks, but
you can still be hit by a jumping or overhead attack. While in Mid-Air,
holding back protects you from all attacks that come at you from the front.
=-----=
=Throw=
=-----=
In order to throw an opponent, you must be standing right next to them, and then
press forward or backward on the joystick while pressing HP or HK.
=---------=
=Air Throw=
=---------=
In order to throw an airborne opponent, you must be also be in mid-air while
right next to them, and then press up on the joystick while pressing HP or HK.
=-------------=
=Down Recovery=
=-------------=
To quickly roll and recover after being knocked down by an opponent, perform
a B, DB, D + punch or kick motion.
=---------------=
=Advancing Guard=
=---------------=
While actively guarding an attack, you can press both punch buttons at the same
time to perform an Advancing Guard. A blue circular flash will appear in
front of your character, knocking your opponent backwards.
=-----------=
=Chain Combo=
=-----------=
Every character in the game has the ability to perform simple chain combos
consisting of three hits: light, light, heavy. Whether the attacks are punches
or kicks, crouching or standing, every character has this combo set available.
Note that some character's second hit will drive the opponent backwards,
leaving the third hit to be a guaranteed miss.
=-----------------=
=Taunt (Chouhatsu)=
=-----------------=
In the Arcade, a Taunt can be performed at any time simply by pressing the
Start button. On the Dreamcast, pressing LK + Start at the same time will
perform a Taunt, as just pressing Start alone will pause the game. Every
character has their own unique taunt, and one character (Dan) has multiple
taunts and even a Hyper Combo taunt.
=--------------=
=Win Pose Break=
=--------------=
After winning a battle, your character will normally go into their win pose.
You can break from this pose by pressing the Start button, which will allow
you to freely control you character for a few seconds until the between-battle
screen pops up.
=----------------------=
=Character Order Change=
=----------------------=
Between battles, you can change the lead character of your team by pressing
and holding either the Partner A or Partner B button, depending on which
character you want to use.
=--------------------------------------=---------------------------------------=
