Introduction

Blackheart is one of the Marvel characters in Marvel vs Capcom 2. The son of Mephisto and (badly) seen in Ghostrider.

He's top tier and has one great zoning assist and a tricky ground assist. His infinite can kill anybody not paying attention.

Note that the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of MvC2 have a variety of glitches involving Blackheart, such as his super sometimes doing no chip damage.

TO-DO: Add frame data, as well as missing sprites

Gameplay

Blackheart is a Zoner/Trap character who can use hordes of demons and massive projectiles to keep out the opponent. His main strengths is his oppressive projectiles but his weakness is characters that can hit him up in the air or punish him.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Easy Infinite: Blackheart has a very simple infinite, utilizing his capture demons and air-dash to erase opponent's life bars while gaining meter at a fast rate. Good Assist: Blackheart's anti-air assist is good for both zoning and anti-zoning, due to its tracking, huge hitbox, and two hits, though it has slow start-up. Meter Build: Blackheart builds meter at a fairly fast rate while just playing his ordinary zoning strategy. High Health: Blackheart is one of the sturdier characters in the game with an 87% damage modifier.

Big Body: It's easy for certain characters to catch and pick apart Blackheart once they land a hit. Characters with great movement (Storm/Magneto) and great zoning (Cable) can exploit this the best. Unsafe Dash: Blackheart's dash cannot be cancelled, this can get him in trouble after a flying screen forced dash is triggered. Gives opponents meter: Hitting with his demons builds himself and the opponent a lot of meter, particularly with his infinite this must be considered.
