'''Marvel vs Capcom 2''' (a.k.a. "MvC2") was released in the year 2000 by [[Capcom]]. It is the sixth Marvel entry in the popular [[Versus Series|Capcom's Versus Series]]. MvC2 featured 3 on 3 battles, expanding on the 2 on 2 gameplay of the previous Versus games and has been widely played at fighting game tournaments world wide.

The game introduces a more refined version of the "Variable System" used in past Marvel vs. Capcom games, which allows players to tag in other team members at any point during the match. Unlike [[Marvel_vs_Capcom|Clash of Super Heroes]], which features unplayable partner characters, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 re-implements the "Variable Assist" gameplay mechanic introduced in [[Marvel_Super_Heroes_vs_Street_Fighter|Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter]], allowing players to call upon one of their off-screen team members to perform a single special move to aid them. Each playable character possesses 3 different types of assists, denoted by the Greek letters α, β, and γ, which can range from projectile attacks to healing moves with the risk of assist characters receiving extra damage if struck by the opponent. As characters fight, the team members not in play will also slowly regenerate their life gauges if possible. A match lasts until one team completely runs out of vitality for all three fighters; if the match timer reaches zero before either team is knocked out, the player with the most remaining health is declared the winner.

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 past a desert and the plant life was 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.
