Game System Details

Different from the previous in the sieres, Marvel vs Capcom 2 will be released on the Naomi board. The game is played 3-on-3 in place of the previous 2-on-2, And in addition to the "Variable Attack" and "Variable Combination" systems, there is now a new system called the "Delayed Hyper Combo" system.

Variable Attack
The Partner change system, familiar with the classical versus series. It has not been confirmed if the partners regain life while waiting, likewise to the previous in the series.

Variable Combination
A system where the player's characters execute hyper combos simultaneously.
As Marvel vs Capcom 2 is played with 3 characters, there will be 3 characters executing their hypr combossimultaneously. Unlike in the previous series, the hit counter will not stop at 99 hits- as can be seen, hits exceeding 2 digits can be made.

Delayed HyperCombo
A news system unique to Marvel vs Capcom 2, in the Delayed HyperCombo, the player's characters execute their hyper combosone after another, instead of simultaneously. The specific uses for this system is not clear as of yet.

Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is scheduled for simultaneous release at arcades and the DreamCast in the Spring of 2000.

While the specifics are not known yet, with the use of the Visual Memory, DC version owners can "evolve" game data for the DC by playing at the arcades- and do vice versa with data for the arcade.
