We will be on hand in Chicago to try the game out, and hopefully we will be able get a few questions answered by the developers who will also be on hand. So respond to this thread with questions you have about the game, and we will try to get the questions answered.

How well does the game play with the Vita's d-pad? Because I played Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 with it and it wasn't precise enough, it's way too small and too close to the left analog stick, I had to switch to the analog stick. I'm starting to have concerns about MK9 on the Vita.
 
Please try some of the original glitches that were in the game... like the Parry Glitch...Or like see what moves can be hit confirmed...
 
I'll be at the Austin TX one, for surrrrre. Can't wait to try it out! Hopefully Squirrelpion will be there too.. YES? :p

Maybe your fingers are too fat. I had no trouble whatsoever trying out Marvel and Blazblue on the Vita :p

Pat, please find out about every feature exclusive to the Vita besides the ones we already know about (Bonus tower, missing klassic kostumes) :)
 
how are you supposed to like do x-rays and enhanced moves and tag and block with only 1 L and 1 R button?

Well they've already specified you can trigger X-rays by touching the X-ray logo on the screen, or maybe pressing the two trigger buttons at once. About tag, guess the L button will do. We can do without the useless stance change button.
