Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Tips & Tricks

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
