Introduction
Marvel vs Capcom 2 (a.k.a. "MvC2") was released in the year 2000 by Capcom. It was the last Marvel entry in the popular Capcom's Versus Series until Marvel vs Capcom 3 was released over 10 years later. MvC2 featured 3 on 3 battles instead of the standard 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 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, 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.
Story

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.
