About

Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes is a 2000 arcade fighting game developed by Capcom Production Studio 1, later released on Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. The fourth entry in the Marvel vs. Capcom series, it expands team battles from two-on-two to three-on-three tag combat, allowing players to cycle through a roster of Marvel and Capcom characters mid-match. The control scheme was streamlined relative to its predecessors, reduced to four main attack buttons and two assist buttons to lower the barrier of entry for casual players. The game also introduces a revised air-combo system that distinguishes it mechanically from earlier installments. The combination of deep team-building possibilities, accessible controls, and a large crossover roster made it a notable entry in the arcade fighting genre of its era.

Storyline

Two years after the battle against Onslaught, peace in the planet Earth was restored until a mysterious entity named Abyss, shrouded the atmosphere with his dark energy. It was consumed within a sphere that the being was holding close to him; With his immense strength, it blew passed a desert and the plant life was also ruined. A pirate known as Ruby Heart discovered the energy and warned the heroes and villains from the two camps who were fighting amongst themselves. Together, they must stop this new nemesis before the Earth and the universe is destroyed by Abyss' terrible power. In the end of the battle, the heroes and villains make a truce while taking a joy cruise on Ruby Heart's ship flying through the skies of the Earth; She holds the orb in her hand then casts it into the sea thus seeing the last of Abyss and closing the rivalry between Marvel and Capcom.
