Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Tips & Tricks

• Switch characters during match

  Use the following to switch between characters in the middle of the game. For example if you choose Cable, Ryu, then Ken, but later in the second stage you want Ryu to appear first -- Hold L for the second character and R for the third character at the versus screen.

• 200-hit combo

  Choose Cable, Iron Man, and B.B. Hood and get your level 3 hyper combo (usually with punches in the air). Wait until your opponent gets a striker out, then use the hyper combo. The combo should do at least 150-220 hits.

• 126-hit combo

  Select War Machine, Iron Man, and B.B. Hood, then get at least a level 3 gauge. Press L + R to do a hyper combo and will unleash a powerful blast. Also, try to keep the enemy on the ground. The combo should do at least 126 and sometimes up to 140 hits.

• 115-hit combo

  Select Cable, T. Bonne, and Chalsm (in that order), then get the level gauge up to at least 3. Do a hyper combo and it will unleash a powerful blow. REMEMBER: Try to keep the enemy on the ground. Also, this will not work every time. It will happen about half of the time.

• 114-hit combo

  Select Gambit, Iron Man, and War Machine, then get a level 3 hyper combo gauge and do all their hyper combos (L + R). It should do a 114-hit combo. If not, try starting the Hyper Combo with another person.

• 110-hit combo

  At the character selection screen, choose Cable, Gambit, and B.B Hood. You will have to unlock B.B Hood and Gambit by buying them in the Secret Factor. During arcade mode, get up to at least to level 3 or higher. Do their Hyper Combo specials. This combo will do at least 110 hits and a lot of damage. It works better when you are close to your opponent.

• Over 86-hit combo

  Choose Tronne Bonne, Servbot, and Guile. Have level a 3 meter and have Guile in play. Press L + R to do a combo doing 86 to 160 hits.

• Over 80-hit combo

  Select Cable, B.B.Hood, and War Machine. Use all their specials at once and it may do 80 to 184 hits.

• Unlocking characters

  REMEMBER: This trick requires two VMUs. If you want a player (for example, Blackheart), but you do not have enough points, use your other VMU then transfer him to your main VMU for someone who is in the middle (cheaper) bracket. You will need to play the game on both of these VMUs. This gives you more time for getting every character.

• Cheaper hidden fighters

  Exit and enter the shop screen until the price of the hidden fighters are lower.

• Multiple character selection

  Unlock every costume and character to chose multiple people. For example, player one could chose three Charlie's and the other player could also chose three Charlie's.

• Dark/Evil Ryu

  To unlock Evil/Dark Ryu, unlock his alternate color in the secret factor. Then at the character selection screen, highlight Ryu and press R. This will toggle a different costume. When you begin game play, he will look like Dark Hadou Ryu (Evil Ryu).

• Change team order

  The order of your fighters will appear before a versus match, with "1", "2", or "3". You can select the first and second fighters of your team, and thus change the entire team order. To select the first fighter, press LP + LK for the character marked "1", MP + MK for the character marked ''2'', or HP + HK for the character marked ''3''. Then, press the same button combos to select the second fighter. Press Start to continue.

• Freeze the opponent

  Choose San San and any other character, Cyclops is preferred. When your opponent's life is lower than your have San San do her eating super when it hits have someone else do their super and the opponent is frozen. You can move about freely but your opponent cannot. You can only see the top of the screen though.

• One hit kill

  Choose Juggernaut, Iron Man, and BB Hood (in that order). Put them all on their recommended assist types. Get 3 Hyper Combo bars and link them all together (L=R). It should kill the opponent in one hit. This move was tested on Cable, a medium damage taker. Choose Juggernaut, Incredible Hulk, and Zangeif. When at level 3, let Juggernaut be your active character, get very close, and push L1 + R1 to make them all do their hyper combos. This will instantly kill your opponent's character. REMEMBER: This attack best works when your opponent is in a corner.

• Easy points

  You can get ten points a minute if you go to training mode, choose a character and opponent, then leave the game on for about five hours. REMEMBER: Do not pause the game.

• Easy special

  When your special meter is at 3 or higher, push L1 + R1 to do any character's special.

• Unlimited chain supers

  REMEMBER: This trick only works in training mode. Set the combo gauge to infinity in the training menu. Then, start a super and start another one. This can be done an unlimited amount of times. This works best with characters who have beam supers.

• 114-hit combo

  Select Gambit, Iron Man, and War Machine, then get a level 3 hyper combo gauge and do all their hyper combos (L1 + R1). It should do a 114-hit combo. If not, try starting the Hyper Combo with another person.

• Marrow break the camera

  Have Marrow use the Bone Burst Hyper Combo as the finishing move for the last of the three opponents. She will throw one of her bones at the screen, breaking the camera.

• Continue attacking

  Push Start immediately after winning the match to move almost everywhere and have the ability to continue hitting the defeated character.

• Change clock in background

  To change the time of the clock in the background of the clock level, simply change the PlayStation2's system time.

• How to change team order

  The order of your fighters will appear before a versus match, with "1", "2", or "3". You can select the first and second fighters of your team, and thus change the entire team order. To select the first fighter, push LP + LK for the character marked "1", MP + MK for the character marked ''2'', or HP + HK for the character marked ''3''. Then, push the same button combos to select the second fighter. Push Start to continue.

• How to switch characters during match

  Utilize this trick to switch between characters in the middle of the game. Let's say, you choose Cable, Ryu, then Ken, but later in the second stage you want Ryu to appear first -- Press and hold L1 for the second character and R1 for the third character at the versus screen.

• Unrecoverable attack loop

  Use the move with Blackheart where the monsters that immobilize your opponent come out, and get them to hit. While opponent is temporarily immobilized, get very close to them and press LP and HK quickly, or LK and HK. Your opponent will be immobilized again and you can keep doing it until they're dead. To move quickly, do a single jump toward your opponent. This method works very well if your opponent is trapped in a corner.
