I like the analog stick. It reminds me of a Neo Geo Pocket.

I personally plan to rock Felicia, Morrigan and Dante at the launch tournament.

I thought there were four attack buttons - Quick, Medium, Fierce and Special.

Not with a bang, but a whimper.

Thanks for this info. I had been wondering who the hell PDP is all this time - now I can safely tell people to stay the hell away.

The fact that this controller design passed approval is amazing. That art is just... amazingly bad for a controller. I've seen thousands of custom jobs by amateurs that far surpass this.

Is there a such thing as 'Shoppers Block? I just couldn't think up a good one for this contest. Best I could do was at the last minute, if not too late - and too obscure. [kotaku.com]

@Yui Hirasawa: Basically, yeah - just look at the Lair and Hydrophobia controversy (just off the top of my head). Reviewers gave the games bad reviews, and the makers countered by telling these reviewers that they were 'Playing their games wrong'.

We should be our own worst critics - and that's exactly the problem with the gaming industry (and most the Call of Duty devs in particular). They aren't their own worst critics.

@-MasterDex-: I just recently got Tumble during the 50% off deal on PSN, and I've been having a good deal of fun with it.

To all the people who are crying about why they think Kinect is superior to the Move or vice versa - you're missing the big picture.

@ILoveBurritos: Ryu/Guile/Bishamon would have made a nice Team Daigo.

Couldn't help but think of this when "Game Over!" is used with thoughts of a political revolution.

@kencosgrove: Eh, Apocalypse of XvSF & MSHvSF and Onslaught of MvC1 weren't much different. And XvSF came out two years before Smash Bros.

@Hello Mister Walrus: I don't think there was anything wrong with Abyss - it's just that he was an original character, and MvC2's in-game story was so incredibly vague that we didn't know what his deal was.

@xbtran: It's actually pretty cool. There is a demo, and I'd recommend you play the entire demo before you make up your mind - I would have given it a pass if I stopped at Zone 1, but Zone 2 of the demo made it challenging enough that I saw the game had potential to be a great mind teaser.

Glad to see at least one Dramatic Battle in the game.

@doeman: reminds me more of Apocalypse from X-Men vs Street Fighter, which precedded Smash Bros by a full two years.

@jShazbot2: I'm sure all your local GameStops (and likely Best Buys as well) will be running this game in their demo units non-stop for about a month.
