Seth Killian jumps in on the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 rebalancing topic

[David] Sirlin is no longer around. I wouldn't count on many re-releases to have as great of a rebalancing as [Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix] did, if they have any at all. — Rock

Seth: Capcom has been rebalancing [Street Fighter] games for a few years before that, right? :P

I'd even say we're pretty good at it, as basically EVERY Street Fighter sequel has been regarded by the best players as an improvement over its predecessor (I can only even think of one possible exception, which had some extenuating circumstances).

At any rate, a rebalancing for [Marvel vs. Capcom 2] was never on the table.

- There was no widespread player interest, and it was not a part of any design documents, the plans for which stretch back several years.

- It wasn't possible within the terms of our contract with Marvel.

I still don't know why they're gonna release this game again without fixing it? — Scarecrow

Sven: There's a massive MvC2 competitive scene, infinites or no.

If it doesn't break the game for ultra competitive Evo players, who exactly would we be "fixing" it for?Scarecrow Rebalancing a team based game like MvC2 (where there are thousands of permutations in matchups on a team basis) is COMPLETELY different than the 1v1 matchups in a standard SF title.
