Before I start this review, a confession: after over 100 matches, I still suck at Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. This isn't to say I've lost every match – my win ratio hovers somewhere around 30 per cent. I wish I could say it was the hardware, but I went out and purchased myself a Hori EX2 Fight Stick in preparation for some killer combos. And while I can definitely pull off special moves at will and perform some low-level counters, the sheer depth of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3's combat system sometimes leaves me feeling like I'm dead in the water. Regardless, I keep coming back for more. Why? Because despite my poor showing, MVC3 is doing everything in its power to encourage me to insert another virtual quarter and I'm happy to oblige.
