I too own this game now
(never owned the original version, so I'm reffering to the game in its complete form without being biased due to the Ultimate update)
some people on this site are gonna hate this game just cause it's made by Capcom, but their opionion is invalid because they are fanboys. As for the rest who hate it for being unbalanced, I agree. But the game is what is it. A crazy unpredicatable circus of a fighter. And well, It's not the end of the world. If you want something more competitive you can stick to Street Fighter 4, or wait for Street Fighter VS Tekken. This is something different that Capcom wanted to do I guess. I would have liked them to get more serious with it, but the game still handles well.
As for the character roster, Marvel got ****ed over with their characters. Capcom's got a good roster here. They have their share of shit characters too, but the Marvel choices......just no. So many shit characters no one wants. Which is a shame cause Marvel has so many good ones they could have used. But I make with the good ones that they have, and I still try to enjoy the game. Which I do. It's a fun game, and I recommend it.
But Rocket Raccoon is a BAMF. I approve of him. A good example of an obscure character. He's that unknown, yet funny enough that it works. Unlike most of the obscure characters in here like Nova, Iron Fist or X-23 that are just plain generic and boring. **** them.
