There are plenty of fans who didn't care if the movies followed a retelling of the games. There's plenty of us that would have been happy with an "Outbreak" type of movie in which it features all new characters set in the events of RE as sort of a 'side' story.

The problem is, the movies do try to take characters and elements from the games and just absolutely butcher them. And the biggest problem of all is Alice. I've said it so many times now but she is the definition of a Mary Sue.

She's a character that is so perfect, so beloved by everyone, steals EVERY scene, is invincible, has more power than all of the enemies combined, and the entire story of the movies revolves around her and almost no one else. EVERY single other character in the movies is an 'extra', there is no true 'co-stars' to Alice. Every last thing is about Alice and always about Alice. The only exception is the very first RE movie which was the ONLY decent movie in the series.

As I've mentioned, even the badguys love Alice. Spence was in love with Alice in RE1. Whatever his name was in RE2, the main human badguy was infatuated with Alice. Nemesis was in love with alice. In Extinction the Dr. guy wants and needs alice and is infatuated with her.

Every single character she comes in contact with immediately respects her and considers her a worthy foe or ally, or wants to protect her or loves her etc. etc.

Every existing char from the games falls into helpless school girl mode in the movies that Alice has to protect and steal every scene from. Look at Jill in Apocalypse. She cannot do ANYTHING on her own, Alice has to save her ass every step of the way and blatantly steal scenes from her because Jill can't mount a cool action scene on her own.

Alice is so overdone and so forced down your throat that it's unbearable to watch let alone like or care about her.

So please spare me the dribble of "Fans just don't 'get' the movies". There's nothing to get, it's terrible writing by a terrible writer for his slutty girlfriend who wants to be an action star. And THAT is the truth. Go read some actual interviews by milla and paul about the RE movies. He blatantly writes these movies with her in mind and adds in scenes and stunts she herself suggests and wants to do because she wants to be an action star.

So these movies aren't about RE, they're about making milla an action star and absolutely nothing else. So again I say there is nothing to 'get' about these movies. They're just trash.

Because, and I mean no offense to you, MvC3 has something called "balance". People can actually use and do well with the characters they like instead of having to use stupid Magneto or Storm to win consistently.

And MvC2 had way more broken aspects than 3 could ever dream to, but eh I won't go into that argument again.

Balance and using any character you like in a competitive manner is great, I agree, but that's about all it has going for it in comparison.

Before replying with haste, please read what I have to write... and then read it again. I'm not argumentative in the least as you know, but do feel you should try and listen considering your experience with the game. You simply can not argue a games intricacies without understanding it's complexities . Most of what makes MvC2 broken makes it great.

Let the character selection die for a moment as there are many other fighters that have just as bad if not worse balance. Even without excusing that fact, you can in fact win with virtually anybody. If you don't believe me search Vidness, he definitely can scrape high level players with an abundance of random characters. It just takes more time and effort because you have to lay your own groundwork, not follow one that has been paved and trampled already. That aside, having a top eight or so does not destroy the games competitiveness. Look at SFII along with a ton of other fighters, quite a few are still around. Same story here.

Let's use X-Factor comeback crutches as an example. Does it really feel good to get a LV3 because you were LOSING, only to come back with health, speed and power buffs and chip someone away? Sorry, but I'll take a MvC2 comeback with Psylocke or Mags any day. This is something that is highly unlikely and takes actual execution and mind games to outwit your opponent, not something that was handed to you on a silver platter (for losing nonetheless).

And please, do not say stupid Mags as if he's picked because he's easy to win with. You do not understand a fraction of the execution it takes to play a character such as MvC2 Mags. (For that we have Cable and such, Team Scrub.) Thing is, every character in MvC3 can do much more than Mags with about 1% of the execution and skill; that's why so many people love the game, sad but true. Personally, I enjoy it for what it is. I actually do like the game. But to compare it to MvC2 is a complete joke.

Let's be honest here. At the end of the day people simply could not get good at MvC2, because they either lacked skill or refused to put in the intense amount of training to get to a decent level. I find that to be a turn on, because it strengthens the skill gap, thus making games more competitive. I can also understand why someone may not enjoy this, but without understanding it's depth, there is no room for criticism.

Trust me, I could barely do a hypergrav from one side when I started MvC2. I wasn't even a scrub, just someone completely new to the scene in general. I was horrid. But instead of running from the games intense level of execution, I embraced it. With that comes the beatings in various arcades, but I learned from each and every one (instead of running online and making "I am cry" threads like most of the kids do nowadays). Some learn faster than others, but eventually anyone and everyone can get it. Simply put, 99% of the people who hate on MvC2 simply don't understand it, or are not able to.

To end this conversation, I don't find chipping someone to death with eighteen buffs handed to me for sucking to be competitive or fun. I do however find strict execution and an ungodly amount of luck in an insane comeback to be noteworthy and even hype worthy. If the latter doesn't excite you then marvel THREE is for you, exclusively. Mahvel Baybee will always get the respect it deserves, that's why it has been around as long as it has. It's track record really says it all.

I respect people who play in any way they enjoy. If certain play styles get on your nerves blame the game for enabling those play styles not the player.

Since we were talking about uploading matches more, I'm going to try and start capturing some more footage. Off screen or not (720p at least), doesn't matter. Here's a random one from today including a 100 hit ROM on the 'Big Boyz', lol.

Fun matches FinalxBoss. Will play and capture a batch soon. :heart:

Resident Evil Deck Building Game Official Website

Don't know if anyone knows about this or owns this, but I picked it up through Amazon a couple of months ago and damn , is it a fun game. It can be 2-4 players and you only need what's in the box to play. There are a good amount of characters (Chris, Jill, Barry, Rebecca, Wesker, Leon, Ada, Claire, Sheva, and Krauser) and they each have their own fun abilities that help you play the game differently. The rule book includes everything you need to know about playing and also introduces a few other game modes (versus and mercenary mode).

There's another set that just recently came out, "Alliance," that includes more characters, monsters, weapons, actions, and items. It also includes a new "partner system" play mode. It can be played by itself or combined with the original box set.

Speaking of ratios, I like how I won like 2 times in my life against you in CvS2.


Did you ever win? I can't remember any time.
